I am wishing you luck. on a benign diagnosis. My parents fell into the subsidy circle of hell. So, I get it.

I’d pay money to see that!

We have got to sue these assholes, but I don’t know how. I have no problems donating money and time. :(

Nope. I think mine posted earlier beats yours. Let’s dilute the minority-majority neighborhoods with redneck central.

I don’t know. I think I win, also in Texas.

Ahh.. I see you have been Texan’d. See your district and raise you mine:

So, yeah, it was definitely a matter of Reed saying that Farenthold thought he would win with guns, but there’s no way he’d be able to fight her hand to hand.

That’s a thing now, with the eyebrows.

All 3 of these senators come from huntin’ (not hunting) states. I bet they are REAL handy with the firearms.

To be fair, I wouldn’t want to call out Rand Paul in a duel, he seems like the kind of guy who might have gotten dueling pistols as a coming of age gift from his father.

Cosigned!

As a citified woman from Houston, I would be quite willing to take this asshole up on his offer and handle this Aaron Burr style. I may not be gun happy, but I have several gun happy friends (and some of them women) that would happily instruct me in time to shut him the hell up. I need to call this asshole’s office…

Agreed. I’m older Gen X as well and most of my friends have their shit together. Sure, we have a fondness for Star Wars/Star Trek/Wonder Woman/Muppets but at this point we’re pretty much boring middle aged folks.

One thing I’ve realized since getting involved (in a very small-league way) in local politics is that there are just tons and tons of minor, but influential-in-their-own-way, positions that basically get filled by anyone with enough incentive to find them and get involved. It’s also a great way to get to meet local…

200-400 years after he died when one of the leaders REALLY did not like women. Also Paul. Fuck Paul.

But the number of families I see where the dad is in a tank top, shorts and flip flips, the kids are dressed similarly, and mom is buried under 10 yards of heavy black fabric...I’m sorry that just seems fucked up to me.

Islam is a rich, peaceful culture that respects women in its own way. It’s entirely possible to respect both Islamic laws and feminism at the same time.

The reality is that people don’t feel the need to go vote if their state is already considered to be “locked up.”

But no other Democrats I knew believed me.

It is a legit choice option. She and I were both commenting about how surprisingly good it is. Yes, it isn’t ice cream but it is not Styrofoam or disgusting and pretty much everything gives you cancer.
