I was just coming here to say this. Worst day since the last Trump administration.

You did notice in the news today that opec plans to boost production even though oil prices are already down at $66/barrel, right? The entire world is lining up to take down the fat calf (America) and y’all don’t even see what’s happening.

CB: “I just hope Trump doesn’t screw up the economy worse than he did last time.” Welp…. Yikes.

Yeah…. This is dumb.

The sad thing is that the OP isn’t wrong. The Republican Party itself in Texas is cannibalizing itself. The ultra right wing is destroying everything in its path. It doesn’t matter if you’re a crook like Paxton. Just toe the line of the right wing but jobs and you’ll win the primary.

Yeah….. I don’t think anybody can argue that the economy is getting better since Trump took office. Chilling on Social Security isn’t a lot of fun when the prices for everything are going up but those monthly checks don’t do the same.

At one point Silsbee had more pick sixes than touchdowns over a three game stretch. Possibly over the first part of the season… I don’t remember. But I do remember pointing out that Moshier was gonna need better tackling from his wideouts and RBs. And for what it’s worth, Silsbee fans argue that playoff records don’t matter in the WRS voting. If y’all have changed your opinion and now agree that The Mighty Jack Dallas rightfully won the WRS after leading the Mustangs to a state championship (destroying Silsbee along the way), then I’ll listen to you crowing about Silsbee’s fourth round implosion this year as “proof” that MM should be given a pity trophy, since the rest of the team sucked so badly by your account.

B-b-but Elvis did the same thing when he dropped by to see Richard Nixon (R). They made a movie about it and everything.

This Republican Senator actually went so far as to file a bill that would make “Trump Derangement Syndrome” declared a mental illness…. Isn’t that y’all’s favorite term to use? Then he got caught with his hand in the (underaged) cookie jar. [Hidden Content]

Yeah… the market needs to do it again about 15 times and we’ll be back to where Biden left us.

Yeah, but Trump is the only one who has been President twice and to date not even discussed the FACT that billionaires like him aren’t paying any income taxes. They’re too busy putting tax-paying government employees out of work.

It’s income tax season, and when you complete your tax return you should pause and consider the fact that over half of our country pays nothing in income taxes. Then pause to appreciate the fact that Trump and Musk are in that 51%. Instead of firing park rangers and scientist we could tax billionaires who exploit tax loopholes…. Y’all are too busy celebrating because the world’s richest man (who contributes nothing) is busy firing people.

Welp… I guess the title of this thread needs to be revised. [Hidden Content]

I remember it well… then he had four years in which to address the subject, but instead he gave tax cuts that benefited the rich who were actually paying theirs. Do you expect Trump to address the loopholes in the system that he (and rich people of all political persuasions) utilize to pay income taxes at a smaller percentage of their total income than you or I? Because the Rs control both chambers and the presidency. Nobody can stop them if they decide to close the loopholes… Will they?

It used to be bud money donors. Now you have the richest man on earth (who pays ZERO federal income taxes) firing government workers… not closing the loopholes that he and the Orange Man proudly exploit. America elected a turd, and they’re about to get their reward for doing so.

Who could have ever predicted that more tax cuts for the rich, combined with a haphazard tariff plan would lead to economic instability and a duplication of the disaster the last time Trump held the reins? Me. I predicted it.

Who was in charge in 2020 when this program was put into effect?

Them Beaumont Boys got a lot of “quit” in ‘em.

Update?

Nope… he participated. I don’t blame him for retaliating… but now he needs to accept his punishment like a man. For all you know, the HD kid was pointing at his own chin and saying “hit me… I dare you.” If he was, should he still get off with no punishment? He had a choice. Retreat and avoid all punishment, or retaliate and take whatever consequences result. These are the consequences of reacting with violence.

It’s an escalation. I remember when one of the Supreme Court Justices mouthed “that’s not true” during Obama’s SOTU…. Shortly after somebody yelled “you lie” at Obama during a different SOTU. I don’t condemn either side for escalating… it’s the nature of the beast. But episodes like MTG’s give rise to episodes like this one.

You argued that only HD got punished. Or at least that’s what your sources told you. And it wasn’t true.

I remember last year when MTG was acting a fool and thought “well… somebody’s gonna get their chance to respond eventually,” now here we are.

Well, well, well…. It seems as if you (or at least your credible sources) didn’t know what they were talking about.

No, Genius. The kid that got ejected shouldn’t have been there. The kid that he hit shouldn’t have fought back… but he chose to defend himself. No worries, can’t blame him… but he should be punished for retaliating. The rest of the team and their mamas jumping in? Wrong on every level, and this punishment is well deserved. One kid punching another doesn’t justify the whole team running into the stands swinging. At least not among civilized people.
