If any of you are thinking "well golly gee Sir Tonk, I don't know about that! I'm a fan of commissions to investigate means tested limited duration tax credits that may create a widespread grassroots incentive to find sustainable solutions! Not socialism!"

I am so keyed up by the polls right now. Not even going to watch the news tonight, I’m going to drink an entire bottle of Jack Daniels and wait till the dust clears in the morning.

I plan on hitting specs and buying a (small) bottle of everclear later. Gonna watch the coverage and either celebrate or watch everything burn because we really do live in hellworld

Why on earth would you choose everclear over literally anything else?

with cruz u lose imo

quote:

The RCC is a place that sells itself as the essential arbiter of what is Texas—which is to say, what is right—but it’s as kitschy and knowing as any drag show. Places like this didn’t exist in the old days. They weren’t necessary, because nothing they represent was seen as being under threat. Like Cruz, many of the people who perform the role of Texas defender best are transplants. Patrick is from Baltimore; many of the state’s Tea Party leaders came here from California or Virginia.

If Beto O’Rourke’s strange and strangely successful campaign this year has changed anything, it’s in part to do with the country’s perception of Texas, and the state’s perception of itself. It was hard to argue with Cruz’s categorization of what the state was during the last eight years, because it was evidently politically correct. In an environment in which no general election is seriously contested and the path to power lies in winning a majority of Republican primary voters, this brand of politics appeared to be what voters wanted. And it probably still is.

But the race has thrown into sharper relief than ever before that Cruz, who was once seen as a kind of political wunderkind for his rise to power, has nothing to offer other than this—we are we, and we are not them. He can’t offer anything from his record to his constituents, because it only consists of a few inconsequential bills. He can only say, you love Texas and I am Texas. I perform Texas for you.

"“If I were to wear my blackface make up, maybe you would understand what I’m telling you,” Barnes, who is white, told Anthony,

Anthony said that she tried to walk away but that Barnes then followed her yelling as she walked through the polling place. When Anthony threatened to call the police, Barnes allegedly threatened her saying Anthony would be the one to be arrested because she’s black."
