I agree. Unfortunately we’re living in a world where reality and truth appear to be strangers.Regardless of riots, the truth is really all that matters. Period.

Looks like Old Fluff Bottom is trying to hitch his wagon to Big Don
Same. But unfortunately for me, my niece was indoctrinated at uga and voted for Biden. She majored in international business and must have had some “woke” professors. Proudly, my daughter is graduating from Auburn in May with a political science degree and is still a conservative. I’m just incredibly disappointed in my sister and her ex husband for not making sure their daughter had a solid foundation before sending her to that liberal cesspool.I don't have a single lib friend and don't even want to attempt to have one as a friend. I see, in a lib, a person who has cost me a over a year of not seeing my kids and my granddaughters like I would normally. Scum of the earth in all aspects IMO.
Most major academic institutions are very liberal. Georgia and Florida are in the top 20 college public schools for education. Most of the students at Georgia are white and conservative. The professors are very liberal and they are at most schools. Maybe not some small schools but for sure most major institutionsSame.

You must stop this cause now my wife wants one of these.It happened.
Meet Stella. Yes. My daughter kept the beer theme going and officially named her Stella Artois.

Graham and Haley...the wind socks of the Republican Party...Until the wind changes direction
This woman popped up on my YouTube feed this came from seven years ago. Looks like she’s always been an idiot
Also I think it’s interesting how YouTube says this channel is directly related to Russia but yet they will never say anything about the Democrats and China

Appreciate the context, always good to hear someone else dealing with close family etc and also trying to get people to wake up.Unless you accuse me of being a liar, cheater or a thief, or attempt to hurt me or my family or my close friends, I am pretty much your friend on some level. I do understand too that there are plenty of people directly hurt by this administration- armed forces being deployed, Covid victims, people who worked on the Keystone Pipeline, etc., etc. and I understand that these people have a right to be angry. I'm just trying not to go around angry at all the injustices I see, because there are a lot of injustices and a lot of opportunity to be angry.
As far I work with a couple of libs. My 21 and 25 year old daughters are libs. The 25 YO's boyfriend's parents are libs. I have cousins, aunts uncles, in-laws, etc. that are libs. I also have plenty of friends that are to the right of @MortgageHorn but the majority fall in between. It takes all types to make the world go around and unless somebody comes at me directly, I'm just not going to spend time worrying about their politics and whether or not they are scum.
Right now the countries best utility grid ERCOT yes Texas has it's own gridis announcing rolling blackouts due to the winter storm:
Two Observations:
1. For once it's good to be downtown - I can assure you that with Chase Tower just around the corner and that is where all their bond-trading is done along with all the computers running the nation's energy business - I will not be participating in said black-outs
2. More importantly when the GOAT can't handle an 18 hour ice storm how in the hell do these "Green-Energy Morons" think we are going all electric cars in 10 Years?

I posted last Aug in the prior thread, when moving my twin daughters (now almost 20) back to college I saw they had an Antifa sticker. I had a choice to make, we’re really close (were) but always knew they and friends were Lib, so always stayed away from all that to focus on what we did have in common.
Long story short, I had to confront them and they were defensive...at very least sympathetic to antifa and big supporters of BLM. That didn’t go well with me and I told them they were being manipulated and there was a lot they don’t know about the real world...discernment is something they needed to learn. I apologized the next day for my tone and “that it hurt them” and asked to meet to hear them out. We haven’t spoken in 6 months. I’m certain they now think I’m a racist etc because I spoke out. I lifted the veil, and despite having given them a great life, I'm the enemy. It’s both crazy and heartbreaking but I can’t fix that until the climate changes. But as a father, I couldn't live with the alternative of being silent...you can never never regret being true to your beliefs.
Point being, you can’t have “real” relationships today if you’re not able to be honest, and yet if you’re honest, you lose relationships. It’s a really tough place to be with your kids, friends and family. Fvck these people who have spent decades to intentionally do this to the fabric of our whole society./rant
They're ridiculously adorable.You must stop this cause now my wife wants one of these.
She took a picture of the picture and is all about it.They're ridiculously adorable.![]()
If you're anywhere close to Sparta KY, I'll gladly give you her (the breeder) info.She took a picture of the picture and is all about it.
Brother you're nothing if not consistent - I love it. If they were boys, I'd do it in a heartbeat. With all the things that stay with daughters about how their dad treated them, notwithstanding there's no perfect answer here, I'm just letting them have what they asked for....silence. To go aggressive in teaching them a lesson, I don't think that would allow them to really learn...they'd just always say their dad became a jerk, I'd fall right into their Trumper narrative.I hope you ripped up the tuition check, repossessed the cars you may have bought for them, kicked them off your insurance, canceled their credit cards, and removed any future inheritance due to them.
Tough love is your only option.
You guys are doing a fantastic job!! Thanks again for spearheading this forum for all of us. It’s greatly appreciated!Check out the sticky on the top of the Main Forum for a video showing the new home page features

BUT, one of them just totaled their car they share last month - and now they're stuck at college and know they can't come back to me to fix everything - so effectively I've taken their car and removed them from my insurance per your advice! I'm legally required by divorce agreement to pay for their college and healthcare btw![]()
They need to grow up...I'm 'trusting the plan'.
Your point #1 has no basis in reality. This is not limited to ERCOT and has everything to do with fuel supply in these extreme conditions — not electricity delivery points. Your point #2 is spot on.Right now the country's best utility grid ERCOT yes Texas has it's own gridis announcing rolling blackouts due to the winter storm:

My friend, tread lightly. You know, the whole “happy wife = happy life” adage. If said wifey friend is dead set in her ways, then there is absolutely no point in heeding her request. However, if there is any chance of red pilling, then let her come stay. JMO
