As above, many of those Corner Stores and Gas Stations were closed. Many people live day-to-day. And if we’re honestly going to talk about it, maybe lay the blame at the feet of the nincompoops at ERCOT that had a full 10 years to winterize power generation and didn’t because profits>people.

Some people, certainly, are laughing at his bad taste. I know I do. Others laugh at how fucking petty he is. He actually got mad that his steak wasn’t as big as one of his dining companions. Others, still, lament that this country is so fucking broken that a man with obvious bad taste, no social grace, no professional…

What a weird world we live in, where food is essential.

That explains why he’s spending so much time “polling the electorate”.

Neckbeard: confirmed. M’lady.

It’s not naivete, it’s hubris. They’ve been neigh untouchable in terms of Rafael losing his Senate seat that they no longer give even the appearance of a fuck about doing the right thing, morally or politically.

My dude, you came back to revive a comment thread more than a week after the last comment was posted.

He also went to Jamaica for the 4th of July weekend in 2020.

The backlash probably wouldn’t be this severe were it not for the fact that the entire war has been an endless nightmare, draining American national coffers, cost the lives of thousands of Americans and likely literally countless lives of people that live in Iraq and the surrounding area, that was clearly a war that…

I believe we’ve found our generation’s Steinbeck.

Lol, you’re playing the equivalent of NBA2K while real people are actually participating in the market.

The only time I’ve had to sell a car was to CarMax and I was super happy with the whole transaction. Quick, very professional, no shady shit, whatsoever.

This isn’t Schroedinger’s impeachment trial. Whether ApocalypseCow watches the trial isn’t going to change the outcome and we all know what’s going to happen: Trump’s lawyers have/are/will present a completely limp defense, one that rests on completely incoherence and the Republican senators will vote to acquit, just…

It’s hilarious in that it was always so predictable, yet all these people demanded to find out the hard way that Trump only cares about Trump (and Ivanka, to the degree that he can fondle her in public). 

You do realize that you’re projecting your own cynicism all over the place, right?

You’re all over the place, my dude. Take a breath, form a cogent thought, and then come back.

Thank you! I just can’t fathom how awful KAC must be to treat her own children like this. It feels like a corollary to the adage that you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat front of house workers at restaurants. She must just be the worst.

Thank you! I’m terrified of raising a child, haha. But I also kinda think that might be a good place to start. The terror of thinking that I’ll screw her up in some fundamental way would seem to point to consciousness of things that might screw her up, but...uh...that doesn’t make me any less terrified, lol.

Readin’ is hard. To wit, from OP’s post: “And so, even though I see the necessity of going through the motions, it’s all political theater at this point”.
