    Craig Carton, who calls himself “loudmouth,” does a show with former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason.

    During their broadcast earlier this week, he started out by calling the GRB Convention Center “a dump.”

    “This whole city is a dump. You get to the airport, you’re greeted by nine homeless guys,” Carton said. “Then you get to the hotel, there’s more homeless guys.”

    He went on to complain about the construction downtown and called Houston a “city that’s not prepared to host a Super Bowl.”
    Yeah, that's EXACTLY how that reads. Wrong! (as usual)

    But, you know, what? Keep believing whatever your delusional mind keeps telling you. The ugly truth is that I might act like a dick 30% of the time- most of the time, I'm respectful and even admit when I'm wrong (not this time). You're a dick 95% of the time, and everyone on here knows it. So, your quasi-altruistic thread holds less than zero weight. Good day.

    ....aaaand I just regret liking your first post. All that talk of no politics in a thread and you respond with your typical liberal-hate rant.

    If you watch the entire 5 minute or so monologue you will see that the first part is true. On the President's initial visit, he didn't meet with victims. Colbert did not say that he "watched the disaster from far away". Colbert continued on to say that Trump took an "emotional mulligan" and went back.

    So, the first part of the monologue clearly referenced the President's August 29th visit and there were no "lies" involved.

    Wait a minute. "Chicken fried steak sucks?" Stopped reading right there! ;)

    Just kidding. Being Texan involves this ineffable pride of place, whatever your religion or skin shade or politics.

    Didn't take him long. Bigtexxx burps up a moment of humanity only to fall back into his role as Sebastian Gorka of the bbs.

    Don't get me wrong, everyone- I am very proud the way Houstonians, Harris Countians, Texans, and Americans came together. At the same time, someone that has been an ass for as consistently long as he has doesn't get a free pass.

    Okay so why even mention it? Was it so important to announce that he didn't meet with people or get close to flood water on his first trip? Why no mention of Trump not wanting to take away any resource on his first trip? These people have clear agenda.

    Yes, but only @RocketsLegend has his agenda paid for and determined by the Kremlin.

    A promising thread created by an insincere man-child, whose brain can't contemplate the fact that If your opinions side completely with one particular party, you literally have zero original thoughts, and have thus been brainwashed. The essence of an idiot can be summed up in this way. (Plenty of Liberal numb-nuts in here too, obviously)

    It takes one silly message for this Dude to jump back into a "Your team sucks, Libtards! Go Cowboys!"

    Why did Trump tweet that essentially Obama was just looking for a photo op back during Sandy?

    Surprised you guys took the bait in the first place. I'm sure the cognitive dissonance of making such a humane post was driving bigtexx nuts.

    The more you speak, the more you embarrass yourself. Pro-tip - when you start cussing in a thread about people coming together, you might want to take a step back and think about some things, bub.

    1. If you're so feeble-minded and emotionally stunted that you can't handle profanity, I would suggest you go to a Children's Forum or elsewhere. This forum would be for adults who can handle the occasional profanity.

    2. No one on this board embarrasses himself more than you, with your ridiculous clown-act of "son," "bub," etc. You're a walking parody, and everyone knows it.

    3. When you start a thread about people coming together, and you've basically spent the last decade on this board creating a huge divide by being a condescending jerk, you may want to refresh your memory on what HYPOCRISY means.

    You can respond all you want after this, I have nothing more to say b/c the large majority of posters know exactly what I mean. As I said, this is a good first step for you. If you continue to be decent and not revert back to your typical smarmy self, perhaps most of us would start to take you seriously. Most of us on Facebook are engaging with each other and discussing how wonderful it is that everyone is coming together. It's very sad that we can't do that with you because we know you will turn right back around to being the jerk that you have been since you've been on this board. Bye.

    blah blah blah in other words you're embarrassed and want to shut down discussion on the topic because you know you're in a hole you can't get out of.

    You and NewRoxFan need some self-reflection for ruining a nice thread.

    I take that back. I'll keep responding to every stupid response of yours because YOU don't get to control the discussion.

    Now, let's see the responses critical to you so far:

    SweetLou....aaaand I just regret liking your first post. All that talk of no politics in a thread and you respond with your typical liberal-hate rant.

    Roxtia: Didn't take him long. Bigtexxx burps up a moment of humanity only to fall back into his role as Sebastian Gorka of the bbs.

    knote32: A promising thread created by an insincere man-child, whose brain can't contemplate the fact that If your opinions side completely with one particular party, you literally have zero original thoughts, and have thus been brainwashed. The essence of an idiot can be summed up in this way. (Plenty of Liberal numb-nuts in here too, obviously). It takes one silly message for this Dude to jump back into a "Your team sucks, Libtards! Go Cowboys!"

    Rashmon: Surprised you guys took the bait in the first place. I'm sure the cognitive dissonance of making such a humane post was driving bigtexx nuts.

    NewRoxFan: LOL... "nice thread". bigtexxx has gone all soft. Must be all worn out defending Trump, insulting Obama, and starting really bad threads...

    Responses critical to me:



    Yeah. Ya lose, Texxter.

    What you fail to realize is that you have brought all this on yourself. I don't care one bit about bringing this thread down b/c, as I've said, I and many others on here have been conversing with others on other forums, and in the other Harvey thread, about coming together.

    And YOU are the one who had to pull out your silly rant about liberals vs. criticizing NewRoxFan only. You just couldn't help yourself.

    Here's how you should have responded (apologies to you, NRF- I agree with you):

    NewRoxFan, this isn't the thread to bring in politics. Please save that for another thread.

    This is how you responded:

    liberals are furious that the people of Houston are throwing silly political bickering and liberal media-driven identity division politics out the window in the spirit of helping one another. It annihilates the media-driven narrative of white people are a bunch of racists and minorities and whites can't get along and help each other...Plus when those helping everybody thank God...the elite liberals truly lose it. must suck to be you, liberals.

    YOU RUINED IT, NOT ANYONE ELSE. SHAME ON YOU.

    Let's memorialize this gem to cement this guy's credibility. He saw he got shamed, and tried to dig out of his hole yet again, of course with no success.

    Interesting how you have MULTIPLE people criticizing you, ZERO criticizing me, and somehow I am in the wrong in your eyes? Are you suffering from dementia or something? I only say this bc even for you, you're making zero sense here.

    This is BigTexxx trying to squirm out of the blame for screwing up his own thread:
