Texas politics

It’s what is happening. And there’s another insult. So threats and insults now hey?

You’re not lookin so good after tagging a mod. I’m not responding to you any further.

I've already asked you to show me where I've threatened you. As far as insults, yes, I will insult you, you deserve it.

And you have admitted to being on this site and being banned before. You aren't outsmarting anyone. In fact, if you're trying to outsmart anyone than you are doing a terrible job. You provided the details, unprovoked, of the scenario in which you were banned.

At least we don't have to see his fucking feet anymore... The last Avatar was annoying as fuck.



Can't wait for the next period of rest when he gets banned again.

Who asked for your opinion?

I wasn’t banned before. This is my first time on this site.

You’re obviously talking about another person. Those details reflect my experience on here already. Banning someone because they disagree would be bigotry. You’re are suggesting that I will be banned for:
1. Having a different opinion
2. Decribing my experience on here so far (in which you’re trying to associate with a previous user, without sufficient evidence)
3. Violating the terms of service by suggesting that I be banned and throwing around insults.

You’ve just admitted to violating the terms of service. Congrats.

 

[SonyToyo]

Now I’m asking you both to stop, just like I have done twice already.

I never suggested that you should be banned. If I did then you could quote it, but you can't. I am confident that you were previously banned under another name and you confirmed that by independently recounting the events because you are not a smart person.

1. I don't care if your opinion is different, that's how debate works. Its difficult to debate someone who agrees with you. Did you expect that you would say awful and idiotic things that people would just agree with you? That's rhetorical, don't answer.

2. You explained the exact scenario in which the user I referred to was banned. That user was banned right around the time your account was created. That user was from Australia and had a weird obsession with US politics and an affection for Trump. And that user was banned in the exact scenario that you describe with minimal prompting. Either you did some extensive searching in a couple of minute or you just remember exactly what happened over the 4-5 days in which you got yourself banned. You should remember this time too because you will almost certainly get banned again. I'm not saying that you've done anything to warrant being banned, I'm saying that you lack the self control needed to stop yourself from saying something that warrants a ban.

3. I didn't suggest that you be banned, but I don't see that anywhere in the TOS. Insults, really? Did the little snowflake get hurt by a bad name? I didn't actually call you anything. I questioned and criticized your argument. Show me a threat that I made, use the quote function and keep in mind that if you fuck with the quote you will be violating TOS. Show me where in the TOS it says that insults are not allowed and I will make sure that both you and I get banned.

No one asked but no one fucking had to. It's an open forum.

Whatever, tick-tock. Tick fucking tock...

I’ve been referred to as the previous user a few times. I scrolled back and had a read of what happened a while back. People were throwing the username around so I got curious. I have no idea when that account got banned but I only registered on here fairly recently. So it’s hilarious that you think a search function isn’t available on the top right hand corner of the screen.

You’re suggesting that me getting banned is a certainty. Your engaging in bullying behaviour by insisting that my time is up, when I literally haven’t done anything wrong. This is all because you disagree with my valid points.

Good day.

No. I'm suggesting that you might get banned again because you will repeat the behavior you expressed before, you're already far down that path, its only a matter of time. You can act like you don't know what I'm talking about, but you know it, you got banned before for your behavior and it will happen again.

What exactly did you search for that gave you the results related to what I'm talking about. Let me know and I'll search them and see if I get the same results.

I'm only debating points with you. If you believe what you spout here then that shouldn't be a problem, you should have the ability to back up your points and make an argument. But it seems like making an actual argument is too hard for you, and you are getting upset that some is saying mean things about you. You are coming off like a sensitive little snowflake.

Tomorrow's election day. There's more fun stuff to talk about than two pages of speculation about whether or not an Australian poster has previously been banned.

How Ted Cruz vs. Beto O'Rourke could predict America's political future
Few political races say more about the current state of American politics than the tight race for the U.S. Senate in Texas

36 hours from now, polls will open for the midterm elections, and 470 congressional seats will be up for grabs. One of the most surprisingly competitive races has been unfolding in Texas. The Senate election there pitting incumbent Ted Cruz in the red corner, against challenger Beto O'Rourke in the blue corner, represents more than just gripping political theater, a clash of big personalities, and record-setting fundraising. On the surface, the candidates have plenty in common: two Texans a year apart in age who left the state for Ivy League schools before returning. They were even elected to Congress the same day six years ago. But in this divided cultural and political moment, Cruz-O'Rourke has become a national barometer for American politics, in the unlikeliest of places.

I've done my part, but still can't speculate how it's going to turn out. I can tell support for Beto is off the charts in the urban centers, but this is a state with a lot of Urban and a lot of rural. I have friends in the state in both types, and all the city folk are Beto supporters, and everyone out in the sticks loves Cruz.

If Beto wins, no matter the margin, I think things will be pretty nuclear. It would have a huge impact on downticket races too. Texas will be in the national news every night/weekend for a while, and the local news will lose their fucking minds.

If Cruz wins, I guess it depends a lot on how much he wins by. If Cruz wins and it is close, there will be a lot of commending Beto for putting up a good fight, but also a shit ton of armchair quarterbacking (in fact, some has already begun). Even if Cruz were to win by a single vote, he will still make a bunch of dumbass remarks about Texas being evangelical conservative (*puke*)

If Cruz wins by a wide margin... okay, honestly I can't imagine this actually happening. I could see Cruz winning by 3. I can't imagine Cruz winning by 10. I know that's false consensus effect, but ugh, Cruz is so slimy, if he were to win by 10 I'd have some kind of mental break.

Some nice analysis by the weekly standard.

Is Texas Turning Blue? The Best and Worse Case for Each Party.

Last Tuesday, Texas senator Ted Cruz won re-election in Texas, but he beat Beto O’Rourke by only 2.6 percentage points. That’s an uncomfortably close margin for Texas Republicans, who are used to winning by double digits even in unfavorable national environments. And that margin (along with the high turnout) has led some to ask if 2018 is the shape of things to come – that is, if the results represent a shift in Texas’s baseline partisanship.

I don't know if it is the right word to use but the death penalty is like a "religion" in Texas

It is like they are so proud of it and will go to any and all, great lengths to carry it out

Who's "they"?

 

[phonehome]

People in Texas in general

People in Texas who are in government in particular

People who are in Texas who are either in charge of imposing or carrying out the death penalty.

It is like they have a "zeal" for it

Enthusiastic Democrats can often be heard talking about how Texas is turning purple and maybe even blue. Professional strategists have mostly scoffed at this idea — after all, Donald Trump won Texas by more than 800,000 votes in 2016. But if President Trump decides to seek a second term — and he has said many times that he intends to — he can no longer count on winning Texas’s 38 Electoral College votes.

In some respects, Trump’s problems in Texas are similar to the difficulties he faces nationally: college educated white women moving decisively to the left and the continued erosion of Republican support in fast-growing metropolitan counties.​

As Long as Trump Is President, Blue Texas Could Actually Happen
What was once a Democratic pipe dream is now a real possibility.
​

Not just Texas. The longer Trump remains president the bluer the whole country will become -- when his base realizes it's been conned. Sooner or later, probably later, even the most gullible Trumpies will realize that Trump doesn't care about their health, he doesn't care about veterans or the military, he doesn't care about preserving Social Security or Medicare, he doesn't care about tax cuts for the working poor, he doesn't care about their jobs and he doesn't care about coal miners, farmers or their agricultural exports. All he cares about is self-aggrandizing and getting rich off the presidency.

Okay, I have to say it... this is all so silly

Beto O’Rourke’s Rebirth as a Knausgaardian Blogger

Today will forever and always be known as Beto Sex Tweet Day

Woman Behind the Beto Sex Tweet Explains it Wasn't About Sex

Disclaimer: I adore Beto. No, no, you don't even understand... I have daydream fantasies about being called up to become one of Beto O'rourke's aides. He's my favorite politician that wasn't a character in a piece of fiction. I want to write him stalkerish love letters and thank his family for letting him run for office and wish them all well. Only my laziness about picking up a pen and paper keeps me in check.


With that said, he hasn't announced a 2020 presidential run and I think people are starting to crack under the pressure. There's so much silliness going on like those links above, it's so weird to watch.


Second disclaimer: As much as I adore Beto, I hope he doesn't run for president in 2020. I hope he runs for governor of TX in 2022. I don't think he's built up the experience for president yet, but I think he'd make a hell of a governor and it'd give him the credentials for a future presidential run while also letting him take some time off to reconnect w/ his family.
