  1. Trump is way more pissed off about people thinking he's a loser than he is worried about being in power. I think we'll see a segment on the 25th issue. Exactly. Trump fucking told us in 2015 that he would not accept a result where he lost. Same way he told people his strategy for discrediting the media in that Barbara Walters interview. Thing is Trump just comes across as so outlandish that many figure he just can't be taken seriously. We are a country that literally bought pet rocks.
  2. Because those who are incapable of thoughts or plans to improve things are always capable of undermining others who try. If I can't fix it, then I'll do everything I can to insure that no one else has a chance. I will not be shown up. It's crazy, and somewhere along the line selfishness and greed became more acceptable than helping others. Until we start living by the Golden rule again, instead of the Rule of Gold, we're in for some shitty times.
  3. The Eagle today. Front page: Butchered AP article:
  4. This didn't age well: https://www.ncaa.com/video/softball/2022-06-03/miranda-elish-has-found-her-happiness-oklahoma-state
  5. I am really glad Mia Scott is a freshman. She's a natural leader and she always seems to have this intense optimism that drives her.
  6. I've found that in a lot of things, not just politics, that you don't know shit until you are at least 50 miles from your home. You can't sell snake oil or even a cancer cure to those around you, but if you go down the road, they are eager to eat that stuff up. Maybe the carpetbagger thing is just that same sentiment on a larger scale?
  7. I don't think so. I think anything that goes counter to how America thought in the "good old days" is woke. You know, back in that era where America was great. Whenever that was, in whatever parallel universe these fuckers live.
  8. I don't think you'll have to worry about that for a while.
  9. Or, I don't know, hang a huge tax on gun sales that goes strictly to improving the lives and futures of these kids, instead of raising them in a world where their easiest path to recognition or success is tied to a gun?
  10. They already sell backpacks with kevlar in them to use as shields. https://bulletproofzone.com/collections/bags-backpacks
  11. 2024 Slate for me: And I don't want to hear shit about "no experience." Not after Trump...no one who voted for him could ever use that against anyone else.
  12. Don't forget bulletproof busses with lexan windows. Yeah, no. We need a few old pissed off white fuckers settling disputes in the domino halls and friday night football games with assault weapons or handguns. You know some of those fuckers are packing open carry style. Let them start eating themselves leopard/face style. But then this happened with Covid and super spreader events and they seemed glad to play martyr for the cause...whatever the fuck that cause really is. I suppose it's librul tears.
  13. Going back to the Cruz race, Beto always seemed to want to win based on his being the best person for the job, not wanting to start slinging mud, like that took away, somehow tarnished him. Seems back during the 2018 race he answered a question in an interview about not wanting to do negative campaigning. Hopefully he's starting to realize there could definitely be some room for that in his strategy. The question is how negative will Abbott get towards Beto? Or will he just continue to ignore him, like a pesky fly that will go away? Abbott can stay above the fray and not claim he is slinging mud, while all along his minions are, and not so thinly veiled. That will probably fuel any retaliatory stuff from Beto.
  14. Maybe best to look at those places you mention and wonder why we are more like them violence wise. Male dominated governance backed by radical religious systems that support that dominance and also support the tactics said males use to retain power (read small arms and fearmongering about gender issues and women's rights). Which one of those guys Mrs Whiggins used for examples would fit better into Al Qaeda or a cartel in Central America, or corrupt African country? The one thing they all have in common? They all are strong patriarchal worlds that depend on lethal power for control. That's the whole crux of it, you do anything to diminish guns in our society, then you are leveling the playing field. And they have all along groomed women in their world to accept and fight for the patriarchy as well.
  15. I didn't see this addressed yet. So now it's pot that's the issue. Makes sense, I've certainly never heard of anyone getting boozed up and shooting a place up. All these people do is blow so much smoke, try to red herring the real issue into the backs of minds, until the news cycle resets. FOX NEWS HOST LAURA INGRAHAM: GUNS DON’T KILL PEOPLE, POTHEADS KILL PEOPLE Ingraham can’t believe everyone is demonizing firearms when marijuana, she claims, is clearly the problem. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/06/laura-ingraham-fox-news-school-shootings-guns-marijuana
  16. This is just whacked. I guess the next thing will be floor plans for the pinpointed schools. Simmons has a full thread on this latest bullshit.
  17. Let's help Collier drag Patrick out from under his rock to bear his responsibility in all this too:
  18. Be real. Can't hold a candle to this sexual dynasty:
  19. I think we've got a pretty good slate headed into November. I've met and listened to most of them, several more than once. Not a single one of them is inferior to any of the Republicans running. These candidates are well spoken and knowledgeable. I guess they just don't look "right" for some reason. It's really odd though how much these candidates have been disparaged, and how little is known about them, short of Beto and maybe Collier. Lupe is not running, neither is Wendy. Leave that in the past and reach out and educate yourself on some of the 2022 candidates. You might be surprised.
  20. Bobby Hill is a better man than a whole lot of people.
  21. You'd think. Just getting them out to vote is the issue. Lots of young rural folks are R. But they don't vote. They just blow hot air. Kompromat.
  22. 90% of the world's problems started with someone not being comfortable in their own skin.
  23. Those intros were the best part of the series, IMO.
  24. I liked Lincoln Lawyer, but did every other major character have to have vocal fry?
