skillzdadirecta Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Abbott and a bunch of Republicans speaking now... I want to throw the fuck up. Cruz, Cornyn and a couple of other fucks are there looking all somber. Of course it's a Law Enforcement circle jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great place to go for a weekend and drink but I was surprised how Red it is down there. The fact that there are multiple bases down here means that you'll always have to support the military, but the current composition of San Diego Government is pretty Blue. Democratic Mayor, city council, board of supervisors, etc.SD also went 61-37 for Biden. East County is absolutely Red and I walked past a yard sign in my neighborhood (I live in the mid-city area) that said #LetsGoBrandon, but on a whole this city is pretty Left-Leaning. EDIT: I'm also watching the new conference and what a fucking joke. All about LEO and Mental Health. Nothing about access to guns, nothing about laws that he's pushing making it easier to get guns and overlook mental health problems of the people buying them. Nothing. Shit would make me sad, but he just passed the mic to Lt. Gov. Oh and there's a Beto O'Rourke sighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massdriver Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 37 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: Calling O'Rourke out of line, and a sick son of a bitch. That was the mayor of Uvalde apparently. Quote “I can’t believe that you’re a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue,” Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin told O'Rourke at one point. Beto has to try his best to get media attention. The free ads aren't happening like they did when he ran against Cruz in 2018. Plus he makes a valid point and it is a political issue. This event is a shit show. Our 'leaders' aren't doing anything to prevent these events from happening. They are jokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm trying to take a long view and understand that the next hundred years will be the equivalent of the species "teen age" years. We can and will continue to generate completely avoidable problems until we learn to change our ways. I simply refuse to give up on this species no matter how awful some or even the majority can be. I've already been through a lot, I can take some more. I worry every day as my wife is a special needs teacher and my kids are in school. But we get up everyday and we do the very best we can to remind people that we need each other and that despite our differences we are all able to hear the greater music if we get out of our own ego and fear laddered ways. I'm much more cynical than you. I believe that human beings are savage by nature, and are maintly moved by urges toward brutality and dominance over each other.
