Almost a pattern - insecure men who get laughed at drift to the right.

I have only ever voted in the People's Republic of Austin, but the last few elections once you check in they hand you a blank ballot (except for the identifying information at the top) which reminds me of a scantron enlarged for old people. You insert that into the machine and then do your selections on screen. Once you are finished you review your selections and hit print. It then spits out the geriatric scantron with all of your selections printed on it, plain as day for you and god to see. You then take that to a machine where an election official watches you feed it in and then it is counted and stored. I assumed this was standard fare all over Texas, but maybe it's just here. i dunno. But i do like being able to review my selections on paper before final submission.

When I voted today, they hand you a paper ballot and a pen and you have to bubble in fully the squares you want to vote for. Then you feed that into a machine and hope the machine isn't rigged because you never get an electronic copy of what was registered.

Yup. That’s how it went for me today in South Austin.

For those of us who grew up in the 80s and 90s on pro wrestling, who would have ever thought 30 years later Jim Cornette would be the patriotic bastion of reason and sanity while many of our own family members would become traitorous fascists and insurrectionists?

Also, can Sark please tell that traitor the Undertaker to stay the fuck away from our program?

You not happy about the 'coons?

While we had our jokes about the coons nickname while in high school, Frisco was really Gainesville’s 2nd rival behind Sanger.

They had better still serve the chicken crispers with honey mustard. 

Okay fuckers, let's get some shit straight.

1) If you order the chicken crispers, you get them with a side of cream gravy like a man, not honey mustard like a kid.

2) Chili's chips and salsa have no relation to actual mexican chips and salsa.  Also, they are fucking delicious and I love them.

3) The SW egg rolls are fine.  Not the greatest, just...fine.

5) Chili's burgers are and always have been solid.  

6) Applebees does not belong in the same conversation.  Applebees is where you go eat with your 300 lb wife and your 3 snotnose kids, drinking cheap domestic beer and hoping that it numbs the reality of what your life has become.

 

Now, having settled that, let's talk about Hall and Oates.

I took away from the story the Epstein angle.  I wonder if there is going to be a push to really elevate that aspect of his groping and creepy history.  

I wonder if Jeffrey was related to COTA's Bobby Epstein. Both slimy af.

caught some right wing radio in the way the driving range …

per early voting and polling, could be 10%+ trump win. won’t be close 

The first step of the plan has always been to stoke the expectations of the base.  It magnifies the outrage when reality doesn't match.

Several years ago, my wife was a bridesmaid in a wedding in Montpelier, Vermont.  Beautiful area; highly recommended.  We went up 3 days or so before the wedding, and she was occupied with all the stuff each day and night that the wedding party did.  Since this was pre-Uber, and my wife had our rental car...I was left to explore on foot as much as I could.

There was an Applebee's in the same parking lot of our hotel.  You can imagine what I had for dinner, solo, nearly every night.

I, for one, am so glad everyone has channeled their anxiety into talking about Chili’s instead of wetting their pants every 45 minutes 

I can multitask.

Cornette is awesome. I could listen to him discuss politics or tell war stories from the territories days for hours.

Under NDA, but did some work for one of the big fast food chains. They had survey after survey that suggested their customers base wanted better quality and was willing to spend a bit more. So they reengineered processes and spent more on ingredients. 
 

No one noticed the increase in quality. Everyone noticed the increase in price.

I agree. The "silent" trump voters from 2016 and to some extent 2020 were republicans who knew he was flawed but voted for him anyway without talking about it in open company. I think they are now silent "Kamala" voters because he's now the undisputed leader of the party and being a republican that doesn't support trump is traitorous in those circles, but to them, the bluster and bullshit has become too much. I think it's far more likely Kamala wins an electoral landslide than trump wins straight up. God damnit I hope I'm right.

You're not wrong. And a lot of us aren't all that silent now, either. Fuuuuuuck Donald Trump.

Good bless them for not selling chili before people step onto a plane. 

Not sure which would have been a better option for my gut, the chili or the queso that I ordered instead.

I watched Rush’s syndicated late night TV show religiously every night before I went to bed. I lapped up everything he said about the Clintons.

I watched it in the mornings getting ready for school in like 8th grade and early HS. It was funny, he called in AlGore really fast like Frankenstein, hur durh. Apparently I was a fucking moron as a kid.

Nate silver was mocked and ridiculed, and has moved rightward, like so many white men who are made fun of and can't handle being mocked.
What he's saying is you're left now, but if we all keep making fun of your bad takes, you're going to end up moving right till you're Jordan Peterson.  Because you make bad posts on the internet.  

I believe that is a rough translation.

To be fair it was more about how his post was ignored, not outright mockery. I stretched the analogy, one of my favorite pastimes.

Why does everyone discredit Silver and say he’s shifted right? Because he posts predictions you don’t like? He’s a pretty well-respected mathematician that’s nailed every election except 2016. He hasn’t posted any personal political opinions that I know of. I wouldn’t be so quick to right him off.

I guess I’m not self aware that I post bad takes or that I’m being made fun of. Guess I’ll go fuck right off.
