  • Yeah, I’m calling steaming pile of bullshit on this story. Generated by the totally transparent state of Texas, and delivered on a platter to a Fox “reporter”. Fuck sake, the footage doesn’t show cartel shooting across the river.

    And it’s glossing over the alleged simultaneous confrontation between cartel and Mexican military. If that’s the case, a stray round might have gone further north than intended.

    This is nothing but propaganda timed to rile up the right and justify these despicable deportations. Bonus for inspiring hate crimes.


  • Ludicrous? Farcical? While we need to resist the fascist push, it’s also healthy to laugh at the absurdity of these fear-mongering buffoons. They see themselves as powerful influencers, but I just see little clowns scrambling to one-up each other with their fantastical tales. Laughing at them reduces their illusion of control and reveals them for the tiny, grifting cowards they are.











  • A few things to consider if relocating from east to west:

    The seemingly endless open space in the west can have a physical effect. I’ve known east-to-west transplants who were unnerved by what they perceived as a sense of desolation. They felt more at home with dense cities, skyscrapers, a faster pace, urban noise, and an absence of distant horizons.

    The west has a lot of dry and brown land. Unlike the wetter east, most people need to use sprinklers or irrigation. Water is a concern in the west.

    Generally speaking, east communication is more abrupt and unmistakable. West speak can have layers of innuendo that can feel treacherous to people who are accustomed to blunt language.




  • Get your facts straight. Beto did not speak about gun control during his Senate campaign.

    The year after he lost the Senate race to Cruz, Beto briefly campaigned for POTUS. It was during his presidential campaign that he brought up removing AR-15s and spoke about gun buyback programs.

    Speaking about guns did not cost Beto the Texas Senate race because Beto is not a time traveler.


  • Beto never spoke about guns during his Texas Senate campaign. There were only gun-loving conspiracy rumors about Beto “taking your guns”.

    He spoke out about gun buyback programs and AR-15s in 2019, during his brief presidential campaign, the year AFTER he lost to Cruz.

    Texas chose Ted Cruz over Beto O’Rourke before he ever spoke about guns.
