Our military is not keen on being used on the homeland. I can also tell you that from experience. I am not keen on them being used. They are serving for a different purpose. Correct again. We will never agree on the welfare state. To me, the welfare state is a mechanism to take away liberty, and provide for subservience. Not to provide liberty.

I think you are putting your own personal agenda above what is likely the best for that team. There is always plenty to improve on, but questioning chemistry and team dynamics 30ish games into a season is not productive. You are what you are at this point and it’s time to be the best version of that possible. You know who makes deep runs? Talented teams with guys that make plays. And the freshmen for Bridge City is one of those guys. Let the professionals worry about how to manage their squad. I promise they aren’t just sitting around twiddling their thumbs.

We’re not too far apart, but the difference is a big one - concerning the welfare state and inequitable distribution of wealth. Does your inclination towards paramilitary operations include use on American soil? If so, how do you square that with abhorrence of the Patriot Act?

Enjoying success and discussing areas to improve aren’t opposites. The seniors have built strong chemistry over years, that’s a real strength. Playoffs tend to expose rushed decisions and defensive lapses no matter how talented a player is. Talking about tightening things up isn’t negativity… it’s wanting the team to make a deep run.

@UT alum The link is a fairly adequate description of my thoughts. As with anyone, some of my beliefs vary slightly. I’m not a fan of the tariffs, and I think Rep’s are spending like drunken sailors as bad as the Dem’s. Just on different things. Due to personal experience, I’m slightly more inclined to involve pseudo military/military interventions on special occasions and for special circumstances. I also believe in border control and strictly legal immigration until we do away with the welfare state. (Which will probably never happen.) Same token, I abhor the Patriot Act with a passion. So, it’s a mixed bag on certain national security issues. [Hidden Content]

They are desperate. [Hidden Content] Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slammed the legislation, saying in a post on X it was "a brazen abuse of power [and] an insult to democracy." Pot calling the kettle black.

Did Trump truly win the 2024 election, and is there evidence of tampering? If the election was fair, why does he continue to cast doubt?

Yes. I can see how you would think it was strictly opinion. I’m not Libertarian as in the Party. Although, I do hold many of the beliefs. You’re also correct I don’t get as passionate. I like to tell people I look at policy instead of politics. Most times I can do that. Although, sometimes I get into the politics also. I won’t lie. I try to catch myself. Personally, I think we could use a few more fiscally conservative libertarians nowadays.

Not at all. I keep forgetting you are Libertarian. The most dispassionate of the political affiliations, and that’s no slam. You must admit that posting without the data looked prejudiced.

Don’t use that mask to hide behind the fact that right wingers provide no proof to back up any of their outlandish claims.

A liberal asking for proof. Russia Gate. Does the Mueller Report ring a bell? Lmao.

You are correct. I actually said ‘white females’. The teaching profession needs more diversification according to multiple studies. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Just a couple. There are multiple more citing similar stats & conclusions. Some speak more about gender and sex. I’m a data-driven person. It’s not me being…what did you call me “prejudiced”? Your best bet is to probably argue/debate with someone more emotionally inclined like yourself. Not a slam. Just pointing out an argument type. My style will probably come across as crass and uncaring to you. Not sure why I missed posting data the first time. I always try to post it. Just must have missed linking it.

[Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] C’mon. Give me some proof. Evidence. Something other than rhetorical claims backed by nothing

Queue up the Nick Saban “rat poison” speech. Bridge City is playing just fine and the staff has it under control. God forbid we enjoy a little success.

[Hidden Content] i know you won’t believe it because it doesn’t fit your narrative. That’s the good thing about the truth: its existence doesn’t require your belief.

And to make citizens fearful.

You are right. They can't legally vote. That's NOT the question: The question is -- do they vote?!

No, I just wanted to hear a liberal get the number correct. Most of my teachers were women throughout school. I didn’t have a male teacher until 6th grade. They were still sporadic after that. We were just not indoctrinated and were taught the 3 Rs. So for me, the problem is not women as much as it is liberal/wokeism tactics. Of course, since I am bucking the system, that makes me a homegrown terrorist.

It is. Trump is using illegals as scapegoats

Illegals can't vote
