-And now Newsom is going to tromp all over the democratic process again.

Many here would be cheering "Yeah! Stick it to Texas" when it's really "Yeah, Stick it to Californians"

That's how it will play out.

Which is why nobody thinks he serious.

"Looks like Eberly is just as confused about this as Boaz is.
It's about the House of Representatives. In Washington DC."

not confused any more. admittingly I referenced the Texas legislature...I was wrong.

I don't disagree. But I doubt anybody believes Newsom is serious. Certainly not Texas republicans.

And California could squeeze out a few republican districts by gerrymandering them. If that's what Newsome is threating to do then let him.

"Why does California care about what Texas does?
How does the redistricting in Texas affect Cali?"

I would imagine California is very democratic party heavy in their state and Federal representation.

If anybody believes Newsom then so what? California can gerrymander all they want. Where does that come back to harm Texas?

Do Texas republicans give 2 ----- if California actually follows through? (which is doubtful)

That's really the better question....Do Texas republicans care if California removes their own handcuffs and engages in similar behavior?

California isn't at risk of power changing hands. Apparently Texas is.....so that's the difference here......that and I really doubt Texans care one bit what the California legislature or governor does.

Just got back from a company retreat in Colorado. Very nice resort.

The folks at the resort were complaining their numbers are down 20% this year. Not complaining so much as just realizing it. they struggle with staffing anyways and they are making money at the lower volume level.

But it's anecdotal evidence that it's probably true....things are slowing down.

-You pretend you don't care.

You pretend you actually care.

And it's not that I don't care.

I adjust. I focus on what I control vs what I don't.

You can't tell the difference

Employee theft.

Should be covered. But it won't. Lazy agents

-Not sure why, but you consistently assume instead of taking people at their face value when they're passionate.

what you call "passionate" I call acting like a hysterical juvenile for attention.

Sorry you can't tell the difference.

I see sincerity where it really exists.

-You're assuming for some reason.

Assuming what?

-The point is, you actively try to normalize it.

Perhaps it's a coping mechanism

Some of it actually is normal. Not all of it, obviously.

I work in a chaotic environment oftentimes. I calm people down. I normalize the chaos.

It's not done with an agenda. It's not even about politics.

It's that I have a built in thick skin for Chaos.

You see me push the panic button when Obama or Biden was president? Never.

-It's not about whether you care or not.

Exactly.

Everything else is crap

I don't care?

Neither do you. You're being entertained

-I've seen this movie before

Do tell ... ..

-Trump way outside of the Overton Window.

It's as if we're watching a movie.

See? Living fine ... ..just need to whine

-But you specifically. You seem like the, "I got mine, ---- you!" type.

In a snarky sort of way ... ..yes.

But I voted against the man. This isn't defending him.

Just saying I don't worry about the guy who occupies 1600 Penn.

And most of you don't either

You're just whiners

-At least Eb's having fun.

Everyone is.

-What has Trump done to other people?

Plenty.

You can imagine you're one of them.

Maybe it's fun.

"But because you are a recipient of white privilege you think this won't happen to you"

What is Trump gonna do to me?

What is Trump gonna do to you?

If you can imagine me swinging my purse, then you can imagine Trump actually doing something to me

Like what?

You can't come up with anything can you?

Hysterical drama queen.

I realize if you're a career loser, you have to blame someone beside yourself

Why not Trump?

-Your fate is in the hands of a petulant four-year-old goober.

Actually, YOUR fate is in those hands.

My fate isn't. I would never surrender my fate to a president.

You can't make the distinction.

Not the media....and I mean all of the media.

trump's good for business. They'll have to be creative and focused on how to replace that content......

Because you get picked on?

"It's neither.
It's like they took a high school dropout valley girl and asked her to write an ad.
'Like get it...genes and jeans...they sound the same....get it?'"

It works.....JPW is pissed. LOL

I don't have many jeans.....don't pay attention to ads. I would think a woman clothing model would be trying to sell to women.

Maybe get Glenn Powell to put a pair on.....hell, Clownshack would buy a pair then.....
