Jesus fucking Christ.
I'd say this guy's professional career just ended but he'll actually get a raise in the right wing grifting sphere. Kyle Rittenhouse style.
The funny thing is it isn't the college educated white collar suburban voters or the "elites" who are going to notice a 30% increase on bananas or coffee or whatever.
I just want to point out there was not a major male candidate in the Mexican election and Sheinbaum was chosen with a plurality, not a majority, of votes in her party's selection process (rest were men). Also being AMLO's handpicked successor and all.
That's not to say your point isn't salient but to add context.
To? He will. Trump wants a rabid attack dog with undying loyalty. That's Gaetz. Trump will expect the GOP Senate to rubber stamp and try to bully them into compliance if they don't. He's not going to withdraw a nominee because Susan Collins is "concerned," he doesn't give a fuck.
Through? Tossup at this juncture. Murkowski and the new Utah guy are more likely than not to be no's but Collins probably folds. GOP may or may not be down a vote with an empty seat from Vance. Lot of moving parts.
Perhaps we'll see but I'm not sure. Matt Gaetz is a phenomenally stupid human being and there's a non zero chance he will be the Charlie Strong of political retribution.
@Frank Drebin never answered me because he's just on a rage-filled shitposting binge (love that for you daddy) but Trump went ahead and answered for me in a couple days.
lmao fade me
This is the right answer in general. Texas-OU is the only weekend that's iffy for me, and that really only applies if the couple and social circle are UT alums/invested in the game. You should probably know better with that one. But if someone unaffiliated with UT or uninterested in UT football has a wedding then, I'm not going to get all butthurt about it; I may not go if it's not a close relationship, but I don't think that's a big deal either way.
I'm a younger guy and way less into the whole "I hate my wife" bit that older generations, so I get where you're coming from and admire your perspective; but, I mean, this is a two way street. It's not a crazy ask of you to want to watch the Texas-A&M game without unneeded, somewhat frivolous interruption. Honestly the whole fall wedding backlash is overblown and only a handful of Texas games are appointment TV in a given season. This is one of them though. If this were Kentucky or Vanderbilt or ULM or some shit then who cares, but it isn't. And we're talking about a shower, not an actual wedding.
Uber is the obvious solution here.
Most of these are just showing that MAGA is still really bad at comedy but I'll give you the Don Lemon urinal one. The Matt Gaetz one is funny in an unintentional, laughing at him sort of way given he's had more work done than most Hollywood actresses.
@PRONG HORN maybe the Power Lesbians, whatever that is, are coming for you next. Maybe you should flee the country and never post on Surly again. You know, for your safety.
I don't think I've gotten these (didn't give money to the presidential campaign) but I do keep getting emails from Bob Casey's campaign (didn't give there either) asking for money.
Bro. You're down 30k votes. You've been down 30k votes for a week. Every time the numbers change, you're down 30k votes. Your opponent has been invited to Senate freshman orientation. I don't know why the race isn't called. Fuck off.
You are right, I should have included Ohio for one specific reason: Sherrod Brown has a good shot at getting back into the Senate in a special election for Vance's seat in 2026. If he's up for it, Democrats would be monumentally stupid to run anyone else.
Democrats control the election infrastructure in most swing states and at least have enough power to stop any un-lower case "d" democratic legislation in all of them but Georgia. Democrats are going to have strong midterms in 2026.
Elections are going to happen. The country may or may not be irreparably broken by 2028 but there will be an election.
Yep. And the Democrat that gets elected in 2028 is going to inherit an ungovernable situation and motivated red state resistance. This country is officially an actively failing state.
Appreciate it. SIL/BIL lived here already so it's nice to have our people to show us the ropes.
Ain't paying no $80/day in rent or whatever it is to hang out inside like I still live in Houston, that's for sure. Summer was great and fall's been surprisingly lovely, actually. A little worried about the dead of winter in Jan-March when fall color and holidays are over, football winds down, and it's been dark for a couple months with plenty more to go, but cross that bridge when we get there.
D3? Educate my rube Texpat mind.
