  • I recall an old farmers joke where a farmer is found in the outhouse pit covered in “waste”. After getting him out, they asked why he was in there.

    He said he dropped his wallet in there. When asked how that happened, he said he dropped his watch in there. When asked how that happened, he said he dropped his hat in there. When asked how that happened, he said he accidentally dropped a quarter in there, and I’ll be damned if I was going to go down there for just a quarter.

    I think the rubes have been voting this way their whole lives and would feel ridiculous if they didn’t keep doing it.

    Also GOP voter, I have found, most believe politics to be like sports. My team has to win, or I’ll feel bad. Whereas politics is more of a bus ride. Does the bus get you to the exact location you want? No, but does it get you close enough? Yes,



  • The duping is a run an effective fear monger campaign without needing to explain any policy positions other that fear the people different from you. I live in TX all the ads were “fear the immigrants” or “we need to fix the issue the democrats created*” with 0 elaboration on actual policy.

    The immigrants issue. I don’t see this as a major problem. Despite what is said about them, they can not vote and often need to use an SSN to get hired anywhere legit, which then they must pay taxes into the system.

    *the GOP has had unilateral control of TX government for 30ish years now. They haven’t done shit for the people.


  • Republicans are me/I people and if it doesn’t happen to me, then I don’t care. Think of all GOP that vote down any disaster aide til it hits their constituents.

    Another one version of this I hear is “I don’t need (ealcare/student loan forgiveness/ basic human decency) I alreadyhavr that. What do I get if I do that?”

    A functioning society is not appealing to them at all. It’s a party of selfishness.





  • This is pretty insane. They have the guy in custody that sold them the address he stored the stollen goods at. The city police go to the wrong address, outside their jurisdiction, at 11:50PM. They didn’t even inform the local county police whose jurisdiction this would be in. The address was repeated multiple times by the dispatcher and should have been on the warrant.

    Multiple officers are joined on the search with gun drawn ARs. After knocking on a door and a brief wait, when most people would be sleeping, they kick the door down and are “surprised” the person in the home responds with grabbing thier weapon and shoot him dead.

    Then, an FOI act is requested for the warrant non are found. All of this is none over a weed eater that is pretty useless in the winter and run on average $150-$250 for most models.

    This is a major mess up and all officers involved should be jailed









  • I was on the way home Sunday with my kid. Going down a road that’s 30mph. My house is on the left. I run my blinker on to turn into my driveway. A BMW speeds up and tries to pass on my left. Nearly T-Boned me. All I saw was the medallion and a lit-up UBER sign on the dash.

    They managed to stop, flip me off, and sped away before I could even get my window down. What the fuck is thier issue?
