Abbot and DeSantis in a race to the bottom. Right now, it's a dead heat.

Does he admit to being an ASSHOLE?

That’s a long investment. If it’s only two more years then you already know you gotta try to stick it out. That is, unless those parameters have changed. My hubby just went through something similar with his military service, and i said the same thing. If the investment has been for this long amount of time, and he suffered through it, then two years more, in order to reach the pay bump in retirement, can be done. Texas is a red hot dumpster fire of special shitfucked circumstances right now, and I don’t envy you! But how angry at yourself will you be in the future if you don’t stick it out that short sprint to the finish line after putting in all that effort?

Actually it is just one more year…but we both feel anxiety about finances. So I project two more years just so we can have a true understanding of our full retirement $$$ and how we can manage it.

The fundamental flaw of democracy is the large number of stupid people that vote stupidly.

Nope.You can bet your boots that if an angry mob storms the Capitol in Austin, they'll just shoot them all. It's easier than having to book them all into jails.

Why is it that assholes are rarely hoist on their own COVID petard? I must say I do enjoy it when it happens though; especially when it involves prosperity gospel trash.

"Abbot and DeSantis in a race to the bottom. Right now, it's a dead heat."Narrator: For them there is no bottom.

I have long advocated for the realpolitik of going after slivers of suburban voters.

However, that is a generally more educated group that is Republican out of habit or self-interest and can be momentarily engaged. The military attracts people more likely to come from entrenched anti-liberal/Democrat backgrounds.

I am - as I said - fine with promoting this reality to veterans. I merely point out that if Republicans really thought that they could be hurt buy this they would not do it.

Liberal media and liberal posters and a liberal comic are enraged while the Right openly smirks. They may be wrong in that security, but if the past is prologue then they are not.
