shit like this drives me mad. there were +/-18,450 homicides last year alone (which was down almost 13% from the previous year). that's 369k over the last 20 years (using the low 2023 number). gtfo with that comparison. just more over the top, divisive as hell fear-mongering

Another thing I found interesting is when the letter was released.  It was in hand so It could have dropped at any time, yet they chose to do it at the end of the week- on a day that the news cycle was dominated by the hurricane.

This confused me at the time because I knew it wouldn't get any coverage, but then I read an explanation that make perfect sense to me.

The letter was released when it was because they wanted as much time as possible for the trolls and MAGA media to run with it before the grownup journalists had a chance to report it with the clarification and context it requires.

It's that simple.  The traditional strategy when releasing material damaging to your opponent is to dominate the news cycle.  The MAGA strategy is to insidiously avoid it.

Hank Jr, the only person in that booth that ever exhibited a shred of intellect or artistry. His weird upbringing, pills, and 90 proof really did a number on him.

You sure about that?

A UK-based racing board I post on (Autosport) has an election thread I've been posting in, and one opf the guys there is an expat registered to vote in Texas.Good guy. Well known concert production director, for huge acts all over the world. Got us backstage at Steely Dan, etc. Ex-Republican pissed off by Trump, like many of us here. He sent me a nice dm about my posting there and had a question that I can't answer for him, but I thought surely one of y'all answer:

I love your tact on the 'Vote Off' thread and it’s kinda ironic that the 2 of us Texas registered Republicans are the torch bearers for our democracy here at the car racing board. A couple of the respondents there I could do without but that’s all part of the process I guess

I have a question for you.
So I’m registered in Bexar county as an Overseas/Military voter. I received my ballot on Friday. On it, RFK is still listed as a candidate !!!! I went to the website and noticed he was not listed. Do you think they made up the Overseas mail out ballots early,before he bailed out, or it was just dumb Texas oversight?

Keep up the good fight

LOL I'm not usually admired for my tact, that's for sure!

is that real? this might be the first time he actually prayed. and amazingly he didn't insert something about himself or Comrade Kamala in there. which makes me think it's not real, or at best, he didn't write it

Paxton laying the groundwork to throw out all Bexar County votes due to bad ballots?

The Sebastian Stan movie? It comes out in like a week and a half 

Yeah. She claims to have seen him do a bunch of other stuff (I believe her) and wonders if it'll make it to the movie.

Trump is super leaning into the taxpayer paid Transgender surgeries for illegals and prisoners thing.

Just saw their campaign ad during the Texans game.

I mean, is this just for his vanity / not to look like an idiot during the debate or do they feel it’s a winning issue?

I would never put up a Harris yard sign. Too many crazy MAGA nuts in my neighborhood.

Have seen 11 Trump and 4 Harris signs in my neighborhood in a town of 5000 people near Frisco.

Pretty much every Trumper I talk to just says something about high grocery and gas prices. Thats their marching orders. That and illegals.

In castle hills (San Antonio enclave city), there’s a home along Lockhill-Selma that erected 3-5 wooden supports (fresh treated 2x4’s) specifically so that they could fly trump Vance flags as banners. One says ‘no more bullshit’ or something. 
What an embarrassment

It was canceled because there was a temporary flight restriction due to numbnuts being there.

I wonder if that's what indirectly resulted in our flyover being cancelled.

20,000 annual murders that they report, libtard.   The FBI cooks the books and doesn't report any crime from any city with a population over 50,000 people. All of those 20,000 murders happened in small towns.    

I'm no immigrant, but I can't hit those numbers.

I know someone who worked on the apprentice for a season. He enjoyed farting LOUDLY when women were around because it embarrassed them. She has plenty of stories about him and is very interested in the movie about him that *should be* released this fall prior to the election.

I was looking for a movie to go to last night. Couldn't find anything appealing, so I kept scrolling until I got to a 'documentary' called "Vindicating Trump" lol. I was curious how many people would actually pay money to go see something like that and didn't have anything else to do at that moment, so I looked at all the available screening times in Central Texas from Round Rock to New Braunfels. There were 13 screenings, with a total of 107 seats sold. So an avg of about 8 people per screening. So we got that going for us, I guess.

We’re not autocratic, YOU’RE autocratic!

The only way to save democracy is to elect the guy who tried really really REALLY hard to end it last time around. The guy who is running to stay out of prison. That guy.

Very catholic language in that, to my eye.

Michael looks like a power bottom 

TIL that trans people can also become saints.

Saint Michael, or more appropriately Saint Michelle, was clearly born a man with a Polish potato farmer physique, but went on to get facial reconstruction surgery to make it for fem and also grew out his/her golden locks.

Good for you Catholic Church for recognizing people’s accomplishments without letting their birth gender get in the way.

I mean if that were the case, wouldn’t they just… not have the current election and have Joe hand her the reins?

Just saw the Trump campaign dumping some money in Maine’s 2nd CD. That’s uh…not good for them. ME-02 was like Trump +8 or 9 in 2020

Does it?

Seriously. He may not like it, but even if everything he said in the explanation is true, it's still not a 'threat to democracy'. It's just demographic change.

So in order to save democracy, we have to elect the guy who tried to end it, because if we keep electing democrats, we'll keep creating more new democrats? Which will end democracy.

He is the stupidest smart person ever.

Yes. I'm sure. I said a shred of intellect or artistry. I don't know about the intellect but I'll stand by my statement since he did at one time display some artistry and write some damn fine songs.

I must've missed where migrants are being fast tracked to citizenship because that typically takes close to a year, has multiple steps and requirements, and takes money to get someone through the process. You typically have to have lived in the US as a permanent resident for 5 years or be married to a citizen for 3. It is not so simple as just dropping someone into a swing state and boom they're a citizen. They have to apply, they have to be fingerprinted, they have to be interviewed, they have to take a citizenship test, and they have to be present at an oath ceremony. The government does nothing quickly. In my line of work, I help people get a government certification that can take 4 to 6 weeks for anyone born outside of the US because their documents have to undergo a screening process before their application even gets looked at.

Non-citizens cannot vote. There is no mechanism outside of fraud that allows them to vote.  If the Federal Government was fast tracking migrants to become citizens, it would be blasted everywhere. This is just the typical Musk replacement theory hysteria.
