Interstate that's straight as an arrow is one thing. Don't bother putting on clean underpants if you'll be going through a construction zone though, particularly one that curves. So glad I got rid of that death trap.

Will MELIA get her happily ever after? She doesn't want to spend another Christmas in the shelter. ๐Ÿ˜ข Santa claus must have a special someone for her.

That person (?) is just a troll. Lots of rudeness and antagonism in its comments.

When I say that I have not watched Frasier since that piece of shit said, "I'm pro and that's all there is to it", I'm not exaggerating. My decision was never in doubt for me, but wow does this prove my case.

And there's nothing wrong with that and she deserves a bigger voice (but personally I think Talarico has a much better shot at the general).

09.12.2025 02:04 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That was a general comment, but the article says, 'โ€œThere are a lot of people that said, youโ€™ve got to stay in the House โ€” we need our voice, we need you there,โ€ Crockett said at a Monday campaign launch event in Dallas. โ€œAnd I understand. But what we need is for me to have a bigger voice. ...'

09.12.2025 01:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

"...her internal polling..."? Maybe, but, "So far, no public poll has shown Crockett winning a general election against Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton or Rep. Wesley Hunt of Houston..."

Also apparently gerrymandering is not the [only] reason she's not running for the house again.

I love her to pieces. I think Talarico has a much better chance of winning there though.

Apparently her House seat will be gone due to gerrymandering. I'm not sure what new district her home would fall into, but either she thinks she could never win that district but she *can* win statewide, or she just thinks the statewide office is the right move.

And if anything, conservatives are even *more* misogynistic and racist than they used to be.

Not in a place that elects Ted Cruz over Colin Allred, no. Not yet anyway - at least they haven't given any indication it's possible, and I don't think now is the time to gamble.

08.12.2025 22:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

She'd be great, but this is a state-wide seat in a place that repeatedly elects Ted Cruz.

That's fair, but it would get *even worse*. I'm not saying they're a "trusted news source" anymore, but they're not Fox or NewsMax ... yet.

We do need to validate whatever caused them to change their mind, and contribute to more knowledge about similar issues, and amplify their rejection of the regime.

In your opinion, how do you demonstrate or act on not giving a shit about something?

No need to get so bent out of shape about a comment that was clearly hyperbolic. If the media is going to give air to awful opinions and shitty people, maybe ignoring those and tacitly approving them isn't the best course of action.

No one is against law or immigration enforcement, just the way they're going about it and the people they're targeting.

People are allowed to have extreme views, be anti-Christian, and even anti-American if they want to be, as long as they're not committing crimes, but once again, they're lying.
