Do you have to “go down the rabbit hole” if you were always already at the bottom. Think about that guys embarrassing ass life and you’ll understand why he thinks about other people the way he does. He’s hateful because he isn’t what he wanted but instead of taking introspection he’d rather harm others. 
 

What's amusing/amazing is those that come from repressive, dictatorial, and sometimes communist, regimes are the most reflexively anti-"socialist," but also extremely willing to embrace the anti-democratic authoritarians.

In icono's case, it's fleeing a repressive religious dictatorship (Iran) only to advocate for a repressive religious dictatorship in the new country half a century later.

Maybe immigration isn't all it's cracked up to be.

I dunno. We'll see if this is a "come to Jesus" moment to work together for liberal democracy in Germany and Europe. I've got a few German friends from college and high school days (mix of fmr foreign exchange students and time I spent in Europe), and they've been pretty active on FB discussing mobilizing for protests against the Rechts.

May be an image of text that says 'Größte Demo gegen rechts Wann? 23.2.25 8:00 8:00-18: 18:00 Uhr Wo? In deinem Wahllokal' 

Germans mobilizing. What could go wrong.

Not sure what you expect from him. Even if he did/does read it, do you think he'll recoil in horror over the damage done? No, that motherfucker is giddy with joy over all of this. He's a true believer as a member of the New Right and dreams of the US becoming akin to a monarchy with a national leader also being the head of the church. That guy has gone so far down the rabbit hole, you might as well just consider him clinically insane because his political philosphy is rooted in an entirely different universe where any civilizing notions of equality, rights, or democracy aren't seen as virtues.  

Dotard carpet bombing all his relatives remaining in Iran would be top-level leopards.  I would laugh.

Everything in the American government is non-stop performative imbecility. Just a pressurized stream of soggy content precision-guided to target absolute dolts and pudding-heads.  Trump was elected by a coalition of people who buy drop-shipped “I am very badass” t-shirts off of Facebook.  It’s their country now and we all have to live in it.

I guess you might have missed his old comment about who doesn't read the Financial Times, which had racist undertones.    In other words, it was a joke for us, not a serious question for him.

So he is mentioned in a book I read called “ Good To Great” and it’s about 11 companies that performed better than their peers over a long period of time. He was a terrible leader and none of his companies were on the list of profitable companies

I read that book. It didn’t age well. For example, one of the “great” companies it recognized was Circuit City.

So, I am about 45 minutes away from there and never caught measles as a kid and don't have the vaccine. Should I get a vaccination in the event this explodes through the area?

In my experience, swine flu, various flus and Covid always seems to march west from SM/NB. Those fucking cocksuckers.

How did you get into UT without MMR? I couldn’t find my records from elementary school and they made me go get one before enrolling freshman year

I am going to call my doctor tomorrow just to make sure I am up to date. I would get vaccinated ASAP. You don't want to get measles immunity the old fashioned way.

I lost my record a long time ago. I was planning on getting the full run. Might as well now.

I need the record for overseas travel mainly. I know I got it all as a kid. Was mandatory before we could go overseas.

Measles/Mumps/Rubella vaccine

there is no way you went through grade school/UT in this country and didn’t get it.  Now you may need a booster if you haven’t had one in past 10yrs

As others have mentioned it’s a combo shot. If you went to public schools in Texas you had to have it. I’ve had like 3 extra boosters from not keeping track of my records. One at UT, one as a resident, and one in practice (hospitals are always asking for your immunization records)

 

also don’t forget

You may need one of these because pertussis protection only lasts about 10 years

Out of curiosity, what was the time frame of these mandatory immunizations? I remember being a kid in the 80's and other kids getting Mumps and the Measles but I never caught it. All my childhood and teenage shots were administered by the military, I was a dependent. Anyone that had medical records from those days remembers an envelope with a fat stack of sheets. Those have been lost to history.

I do remember submitting immunization records but I wasn't paying attention at the time.

I've had the DTaP shot as an adult, that I remember getting.

Mmr wasn’t always the shot. It evolved over the years to have all 3, but I don’t know the timeframe for each evolution. 
 

but I’m 46 and had mmr in the early 80s so from then on for sure.

Last time I had an MMR booster was for a work trip to SE Asia. Ironically, I'm now on a work trip in Indonesia and probably safer than back in Texas.

Given that it's Monday morning and a rather dreary one at that, this seemed like a good bit of commentary as a reminder that the sifting and winnowing of who will be "us" and who will be "them" has been underway long before this administration took office but the acceleration of the divide will be more stark as the year(s) progress.

Me too. Had to go to the health center and get it either during freshman orientation or before classes started because I couldn’t find my records.

I think we are going to get the whole family vax record reviewed and shots updated - kids had all theirs when they were young but I don’t know if others are recommended now.
