Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

I never approached the issue like this. To me, it is a no-brainer policy decision to raise it. Clearly, a very unpopular position from a political perspective, but seemingly necessary from a financial standpoint. The age discrimination angle certainly changes the lens through which I now view it. I...

Decent, a bit unfocused, nothing too surprising, other than just how MANY "oh yeah, I remember that" moments there are.

I'm jealous! I'm glad you got to go though. Looks like a great show. How were Beat Farmers without Country Dick? I knew him a little, great guy.

Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?

I attended Mojo's Final Mayhem at SXSW. I've been attending for a long time. This was a hell of show, rocking, emotional, long and packed. It had been planned as the final Mayhem before he passed and Mojo had curated the line-up. Everyone showed up and it was a hell of a wake. The Beat Farmers, Knit...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

Trump takes over the RNC. Put his daughter in law in command. Fires half the staff. Forces employees to reapply, which is a thinly veiled loyalty test. I guess I can see two sides of the coins: Heads: Holy shit, he is destroying the Republican machinery. The inmates are running the asylum. These gri...

If you are in Austin, I highly recommend checking out this exhibit. Some amazing stuff in there. It's astounding how much of it is from the Boss' personal collection.

BTW, the ellipsis is because I think your trillion dollar number is way high. I think it's less than a quarter of that. Still a lot of money of course.
As usual you are right, btb. In my defense, I was only off by one zero. I still stand by my main point however. Hyperbole FTW!

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

I was a bit shocked to recently read that Biden is 'preparing some serious sanctions' against Russia for the death of Navalny. A few gripes (mainly media reporting) before my main gripe. 1) It's a murder, not just a death. 2) While sad, I don't think this should shock anyone at all. 3) There is no d...

I think its also time we stop being surprised and clutching our pearls. This shit has been going on and getting worse for the better part of a decade.

I’m just so sad. More tomorrow, but he had a heart attack and died on the Outlaw Cruise. Played last night.

I hope the dems bring the border bill up for a vote daily. It’s a great talking point, paired with Chip Roy’s “we have nothing to run on” comments.

Momma always said stupid is as stupid does. The Gravy Seals are reported to be just south of Austin and although small in numbers, they are also lost and confused.
