I have a disabled nephew that wound up in a group home in Texas a couple years when his father died. The state is a shithole and they don’t give a rats ass about the disabled. Between my sisters and I we’re getting him back to a more enlightened state this week; hopefully he’ll never have to step foot in Texas again.

Congratulations on being able to do that - no one should have to suffer neglect from the state in that situation. I am glad you were able to get him out of there!

They’re not parsing individual words, they’re just making lists of people who won’t say it with them

“… does not need,” I assume
I don’t usually bother calling out typos, but a missing “not” reverses the whole idea of a post

And the crazy thing is, that’s not even remotely true, except for a slim majority of people who are already very wealthy. For everyone else, the GOP is bad for your bank account, and the democrats tend to be good.

everyone is focused so much on inflation, they seem to forget the absolute disasters of the trump and shrub economies and the insane debts left to us by reagan and the shrub senior

Well “Reintegration Therapy” is just about the most chilling phrase I’ve heard from an official government source, thanks I hate it.

One of the planks is literally a “right to secede.”
How can they be that stupid.
Do we have to defeat them again?

They could make Texas sports leagues work by inviting minor league teams, but it’s going to end up being like the Scottish or Portuguese association football leagues where the same two or three teams win everything all the time, except on very rare occasions.
Sportsball fans are better off where they are, in the USA.

Sometimes it’s just better to let kids run away for an afternoon. Let them flail for a while before they get hungry and see that it’s getting dark outside.
Don’t agree that they’ve run away- keep an eye in them discreetly. Delay their federal payments and put federal workers there on paid furlough etc. Let them have a tantrum and cry it out.

Seems more like they wanna go back to the 12th Century.

I certainly haven’t, but my memory works, nor am I the type who has to ask the same question over and over again.

No, Christians in the 12th century believed that vows of poverty were a virtue. When was the last time you saw a televangelist practicing simple living?

i was using a colloquial version of “everyone” which doesn’t literally mean 100% of all human beings. rather just: lots, or too many people
id hoped that was clear from context. i regret the error

Some of the Trumpers are actually running on the economy being “better” under Trump… WTF? It was not.

The party of “small government” and “personal freedoms”!
If they genuinely cared about the constitution, perhaps. But they stop reading after the second amendment. Also, they can just claim he was rightfully denied his second term so he gets a mulligan.
Who in many ways feels like a radical progressive compared to today’s Republicans.
Damn, that’s profound. (No sarcasm intended.)
You know, after Texas’ last fiasco with literally not being able to “keep the lights” on or people warm when their power grid collapsed, maybe “self-sufficiency” isn’t all its cracked up to be.
And in any event if the actually read the constitution they claim to love so much they would know that you can’t just secede because you feel like it. (The constitution creates the states and has no allowances for removal. The Supreme Court has also repeatedly struck down various states’ efforts to secede.)

They are FINE with their flock taking a vow of poverty and sending all their money to the televangelist though.

They don’t even read the whole thing. Typically skipping the first part of it.
