In the '70s, it was a big deal if your tuition bill topped $100. If you had a good summer job, you could pay for the year. If you worked oil rigs or something like that, you could live like a god. I returned to graduate in the mid 80s and it was still less than maybe $400? 

My beloved had daughters graduating high school in the first few years of this century. I was dumbfounded and furious when I heard about what had happened to college costs. Guaranteed loans for banks who face no risk. No reason other than decency and an understanding of public university education to keep the colleges from raising fees in tacit collusion.

I'm glad to be a Longhorn, but I can't exactly say that I love the University. Money grubbing cunts.

That’s not a UT thing. It’s a state of Texas thing.

WTF

I'd be gone tomorrow for a couple million.

Ive said that many times, but yet here I am still working. Its harder to walk away than one thinks, but I can see that day happening more clearly every passing minute. One of my buddies and I were joking on a jobsite today actually if someone came up with the right offer we would hand over the keys to our companies tomorrow.

My brother in law is a union plumber in CA.  He's made as much 150k a year and oftentimes he gets paid to sleep in his car for hours. Raising four kids on his income and his daughter just started at UCSB. He can't wait to move to TX or FL to flee the liberal policies of CA.  He'd do fine in Austin, but good luck elsewhere.

Locally a lot of blue collar guys are Maga because of media consumption- fox, talk radio, Joe Rogan.  For vast majority it's guns and just being anti PC. Not a lot of thought goes into it. Even Mexicans.

What does he say when you point out he only makes that kind of money because he’s in CA?

The bullet was not close enough to his ear to do any damage (if it had been close enough, the damage would have been much greater). The best explanation I've seen is that the bleeding was caused by his fingernail.

I saw a pretty convincing video that showed him hitting his ear on the holster of one of the SS agents when they ducked down, which could have caused the bleeding.  Honestly seems plausible as hell when you rewatch the footage.

Your experience with actual firefighters must be very limited then.

One of my hiking buddies is a retired LA County firefighter and one of the best people I’ve ever met.
 

I also lived across the street from the firehouse on 30th street for 6 years and they were always super nice and helpful.  

I also toured around with Guy Forsyth for a few years in my 20s and his sister was a firefighter and we used to play one of their annual events and they were all great.
 

Mucho respect to firefighters from me.

I guarantee if an intrepid reporter had Trump's attention and asked him to give the name of the attendee who died, he would not remember the name of Corey Comperatore.

A real quote from Trump: "FEMA has no money because the Biden/Harris administration gave it all to illegal immigrants, a large percentage of which are murderers."

Vance gave a speech in Georgia.  Let's look at the size and makeup of the crowd.

People are bored already early in, and they keep moving the camera side-to-side to make it look like the audience is bigly

vance3a.thumb.jpg.0c22fdce1eee3ffb59634b2d71b107de.jpg

 

They panned over to the left a bit, not sure why as the "MAGA BLACK" lady was in the shot before and now she's not really in it.

Pretty sure those people "filming" with their phones are actually texting because you could see that it looked like they were holding them up like that while still texting.

vance3b.thumb.jpg.20064ec2ba56faee1b16191726cb62b5.jpg

So how big was that crowd? Fox Now above won't show you, but The Hill will. This was just minutes before Vance came out.

crowd.jpg.5bbe472baf4b483bba1160429518cafb.jpg

Unless you watch these rallies, you really can't see how bored most of the people behind Vance or Trump are, except for what looks like coached cheers and certain people will hold up their signs on cue, like they are aggy.

They're there because they feel like they have to be, but they're bored.

In other words, it's church.

Not sure he’d incite a riot. They’re in different categories. I abhor Cruz. Our daughters go to the same camp so I’m exposed to him for a day every summer. He’s very aloof and is basically a fat dork. One of his daughters got booted from the camp a few years ago because she’s fucked up. I give Cruz credit for not making a big stink about it, or pulling his other daughter from camp. I fully expected him to do both. 

Eh, he shouldn't get credit for acting like a normal human person.

Same. The stress sucks. I had the daily worry women and LBGQ friends have over this wretched pustule.

I fear that Trump has shown other politicians that there is no consequence for lying, no limit on the outrageousness of those lies or any real need to have Any substantative position on anything. Say one thing to one group and the exact opposite to another group? No consequences.

At a play last night in Lakeway; old ass lady walks up and tells me how handsome I am and that I look like JD Vance and she hopes I share her political viewpoint. (I do not look like him and my wife was like wtf This shit just creeps into everything all the time.  I can't drive to dinner without seeing "no balls in women's sports" and other bs a dozen times.  It fucking sucks.

It might be the eyeliner - just saying 🤣

So like I said… 

if the polling is absolutely correct, as it stands right now, it’s a nail biter.  If it’s off by 2+ points in either direction, it’s not.

I check mine regularly, but what I figure will happen is that a big purge will occur at 4:50 pm on the last day to register for the 2024 election.  That way those purged will not have the opportunity to re-register.

At least in Texas, the deadline for a citizen reporting someone who should be investigated for purging past over a month ago. And likewise county wide election offices had to have their final voting roll cleanup reported about the same time.

. . . and more Americans died of Covid in the first 2 months of the pandemic than die in a bad flu year.  One year in, almost 10X as many had died.  No big deal.

And this doesn't count all those who suffered (or are still suffering) from Long Covid.  In the end that might be more devastating.

Wouldn't that be tampering of the political portal?

If anyone is interested, let me know.  Some different county parties here in Texas are selling these.  They're the only blue ones we have seen.  We tried to get camo that was done in the shapes of Texas, Lone Star, etc.  But not enough time to get that done.

I love how Kamala and Biden have wisely refrained from playing politics with this. I hope her surrogates and aligned PACs spread the message that Trump would rather play politics than help.

It's been 8 years of this, and I know I ought to be well beyond the surreal shock phase, by my god, these people, man.  Nothing is off limits.  Nothing is sacred.  No one outside their circle matters.  And they'll do absolutely anything for power and money.

It's all so disgusting and embarrassing.  And people I used to respect have fallen for it.  God dammit.
