  1. What is the source on this? And thanks Trump.
  2. That is an amazing property with incredible views. I would expect a similar property to be pretty closely priced in most major cities in Texas actually. Certainly in the 1.5 million dollar area at least.
  3. The First Amendment doesn't apply to speech that politicians decide doesn't have "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"? As I said you have no rights, just temporary privileges that can quickly be taken away if you ever become unpopular.
  4. All false propaganda. Sadly. But even when I believed that it seemed weird since plenty of his generals were from states that didn't secede, like Hood from Kentucky, and he didn't think they were dishonorable. Lee did break his oath. He was the ONLY high ranking Virginian in the US military to do so. And he absolutely did hate abolitionists and support slavery. His views were absolutely typical of a Southern Planter at the time. But there was this one time he lost his temper and beat the shit out of a woman and that did tear as his conscience. His hand wringing over this incident is why people think he was anti-slavery.
  5. Yeah I figured that out when I got a tax calculator. I would actually pay less tax in California in my position. But the big earners would get soaked. I cannot speak to the cost of living though. I imagine living inland in California is not too bad. Those coastal cities seem pretty horrifyingly expensive but I have only ever visited them.
  6. Well that is just not true. As the Senate Minority Leader he is the face of the party, or least one of the major ones. If he doesn't want to be, he needs to not be in a leadership role.
  7. Not so much a Bill of Rights but really a Bill of Temporary Privileges that can be withdrawn if you are unpopular enough.
  8. Well in the sense that everything that happens is divine providence. Stalin was once in the custody of Tsarist Russia and almost miraculously wasn't put to death. I guess Joseph Stalin was God's agent on earth.
  9. This is what I have been saying. These people think all this disastrous dumbass shit is great and they praise him for it. There is no catastrophe big enough that can befall the United States, there is no scandal depraved enough that could be committed by Donald Trump that will convince them otherwise. Everything he does is no big deal even if it literal child rape and trafficking. Every disaster his policies create is somebody else's fault or some act of God that nobody could have prevented despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. And more than that, they are just evil people who want to do bad things to other people. These are the kinds of people this country is full of. This is America. And more than that we have always had tons of these people. And that is the reality we are all having a hard time accepting.
  10. I am curious how this would be possible considering how much it is already gerrymandered with scientific precision. But I guess I will find out. That is always a danger when you gerrymander.
  11. The MLB draft: where College Baseball fans' dreams go to die.
  12. Rain? In Florida? Well clutch my pearls.
  13. Yeah he has taken a lot of heat for some kind failure during all of this. It did seem weird so much attention was being put on the Austin Fire Chief, but I was not aware he was black.
  14. The right wing propaganda machine is very strong. I thought his disastrous buffoonery in 2017-2021 woke people up but I was very wrong. He could destroy the economy, isolate us diplomatically, get us into war, collapse our population, and destroy government services and people will still think he is great. I appreciate the Leopards eating Faces thread but really it is all cope. We cannot deal with the fact we are a loser nation of brainwashed idiots, so well tell ourselves they will come around. They won't. At least not any time soon.
  15. That annoys me. It floods in the Hill Country all the damn time. Sure this was bigger and faster than usual, granted. Though we had a similar rain storm hit Houston back in about 2017 or so. However, a flash flood in Kerr County that could kill people is not some shocking development.
  16. The left doesn't have the sort of resources. But even if it did I am not sure brainwashing the population to believe bullshit is going to turn out well even if you have the best of intentions.
  17. No they're not. One tweet isn't MAGA and this guy will return to the fold soon enough.
  18. That dude isn't running for re-election. Surely even mythical moderate voters want people with full control of their mental facilities and in good health.
  19. The good news for Paxton is he cannot really do anything to make me oppose him more than I already do.
  20. I look forward to further reports on the unicorns and dragons that the deep state controls. A good use of our tax money.
  21. Damnit America! We just cannot shake our addiction to slavery. Granted, not that we are trying very hard to do so.
  22. Shit. That is going to be how this issue is solved isn't it? Slave labor from prisons.
  23. I like him. Our challenge is we can't keep recycling Beto or whomever. We need to keep finding new people who have to gain traction. The Republicans just get to run the same motherfuckers for decades. It will obviously take some kind of massive disaster for the Democrats to win. Almost isn't worth it as they will be trying to govern whatever smoking crater the Republicans leave them. But we have to try with an intention to win, and continue to find good new faces. Gotta make the bastards sweat a little from time to time.
  24. Wow we spent tons of money and made ourselves hated around the world and achieved basically nothing. America ladies and gentlemen. Look I hate to be captain obvious here but Iran is inevitably going to get a nuke if they want one. If you want to stop them you have to do something a little more drastic than just drop a few bombs. Or, you know, negotiate and sign a deal like Obama did.
  25. Because Texas was in the Women's one.
