You and Bam are spot on in my mind. S1 was so great, I would put it up there with True Detective S1 for best seasons in recent history.

Agreed. Yeah, they really turned it around after the first season, which wasn’t terrible but wasn’t that good. Those last three seasons are some of the best in all of TV. That Gordon episode in season four...

Really, the only difference between cable and this is the method of data transmission.

Halt and Catch fire was such a great and underrated show. I did a free month of AMC+ last year and rewatched the whole thing. It really holds up well (I hadn't watched it since it was originally on). Plus I can’t think of another show where the fourth (especially the fourth and final) season is the best.

The second season was a massive disappointment which is a shame because given the time setting and subject matter, there was potential for a great and thought provoking TV series. But it utterly failed in just about every way. I stuck with it because I’m one of those viewers that once I start something, I have to

That first season was one of my favorite seasons of TV to come out in 20 years. I couldn’t make it through the second, though I really wanted to.

The first season of The Terror was great. And Halt and Catch Fire is one of my all time fave shows, so I’m super interested in this third season. 

BP moved some immigrants so the redneck mob is less likely to attack them. Said redneck mob only came to Texas because they bought into the far-right propaganda that says migrants are poring over the border like that zombie horde in World War Z, which isn’t anywhere close to reality.

My favorite thing to come out of that story (other than the Waylon Jennings quote), was that Keith vehemently denied it, Kristofferson decided to be classy and say he didn’t recall, but then Lisa Meyers [Kris’ wife] was like, “Oh yeah, that 100% happened” 😂

No most of them are retirees or YouTube grifters. One guy was there and asking for money to repair his car because he got in his second accident in a year. These things are money makers for them when they aren’t showing up in front of a Trump booking, like in NYC or Atlanta. Some of these grifters have no money so

Didn’t even mention the difficulty of trying to get a meal in town:

Definitely not.

If I had more free time I might don a poncho and sombrero and sneak around town peeking out at this convoy. Might be a death sentence but in my head its a funny troll.

Ngl, “Those Cunts” sounds like it would be a hell of a great punk band

But the number of migrants they did move is nowhere near the “thousands” a day that is being claimed. So your gotcha is still absolute bullshit.

Back in I wanna say 2006/2007/2008 Ethan Hawke wrote a profile on Kris Kristofferson for Rolling Stone. A big aspect of the profile was about how out of place Kristofferson was in the country music world during the Iraq War since he was a Vietnam vet and outspoken liberal. There’s a scene in that profile where

In 1870, 14.4% of the US population was foreign born.

Give immigrants three or four generations to assimilate, then they’ll be a threat to the peace and health of the United States. just look at those German Drumpfs, for example.

because they drove there obviously.

In today’s news that should surprise absolutely no one: Immigrants who come here to seek a better life, provide for their families, and just want to be left alone are less of a public threat than a militia of drunk and armed rednecks.
