I'm not surprised. I knew he was on some :mjpls: back in the day.

Didn't know it was this deep though.

Texas been on my mind a lot. Need to go see some family.

It's funny they mention Muhammad Ali in the piece. My boy saw him speak back in the day (the 80s), and Mack said, "I put that inward on the ground".

WTF.

He said it, clear as day.

I'm pretty sure Ali was doing some charity thing cause Mack been frail.

But he imagined this great bout and then a righteous victory in his mind.

Fukk you thought it was?

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
He is old hat with the play, a little bit of public generosity, and he takes his liberties on the back end, back room hand shakes, and the guy has built up enough good will that he can get away with anything, and eventually, when the light gets shined on his "slip ups" a bunch of people are gonna be lined up to speak his gospel, what a great man he is, he DEFINITELY isn't what "they" are accusing him of (hypothetically, as far as I know he isn't in the hot seat for anything)

Texas is a state with low voter participation. One of the worst in the country. The GOP decimated voting in the state with gerrymandering and making it hard to vote.

Despite all of that, the '22 midterm numbers were a fckin shame (especially since the '20 numbers were historic). The possibility to get it right is there, the people just have to care enough to get off their asses and cast their ballots.

I agree, but this state is gerrymandered to death and they’ve made voting harder.

This:


Is not all the way a joke, especially in the rural parts of the state.
