    What's more American than building your empire on the backs of the poor and then developing a compulsion for drugs, whores and gambling?

    He's a paragon of modern conservatism, and should be celebrated as such

    It's amazing to me how quickly a public figure can shift from being a darling to an ogre at the drop of a hat. Elon Musk was the pioneer and savior in the war against environmentally harmful emissions - FINALLY manufacturing a viable electric car after decades of other companies trying. Then he bought Twitter and exposed the liberal skewing and conservative censorship, and now he's an a-hole.

    Mattress Mack was a hard working businessman, success story building a business from the ground up - a Houston legend that you will STILL find working at the I-45 location from open to close almost every day. But now since he endorsed Mealer and he's a degenerate gambler, capitalist a-hole that sells expensive furniture.

    Being a Trumper and openly supporting todays Republican Party comes with a cost. It is unfortunate, but it is true, and the Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves because they are unwilling to right the ship. They have spent the better part of seven years discarding integrity, denigrating education, fighting imaginary culture wars, lying about the election, attacking our democracy, and on and on. A lot of people are tired of it, myself included, because it has damaged the country badly.

    People like Mitt Romney still have my respect. I don’t necessarily agree with his political views, but he has not soiled himself but instead has tried to stand up for what’s right. Same with Liz Cheney. They can be republicans without paying the cost of public scorn that trumpers or people who tolerate trumpers bear.

    Nope, Mac's been sketchy for decades, just like Tilman. Elon is a newer development

    I suppose “lol” is more of a substantive response than something about wokeness or transgendering our kids, which is the current Republican holding statement for basically everything,

    Mattress Mack . . . .. . .Smoking Crack?

    I wonder why in his later days he wants to get political.
    I mean Seriously . . . I wonder why the 70+ year old folx still trying to influence/tell people what to do
    They want the ability to have some sense of control over the direction of the world for decades after they have passed on

    Just sit back and enjoy the good life . .. you earned it .. . . just simma dawn nah!

    I thought you'd say "can't right now, I'm washing my hair" but this is second lamest.

    Sorry to get off topic. But what Musk did was publicize the actions of liberals while not releasing the database of Republican efforts to censor posts. So he attempted to release only one side in an effort to create a narrative favorable to the right wing.

    I'm parked in a truck surrounded by hungry large animals. Waiting for my helper to do some gate opening and closing.

    Speaking of lame, what are you up to, sitting at a desk?

    A pity that Mac has gone full on trumper in his later years. He's had a long, productive, and generous life. It's sad to see him come to this.

    That's a disrespectful way to refer to the fast food workers bringing you the troughs of food you ordered.

    I started this thread about the Wayne Delcefino story because there was another story about Turner showing favoritism to a male staffer or intern or something before his last election.

    Im not saying that it's wrong but it was a different time in the early nineties and I talk about it in the thread,
    https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/a-throwback-houston-mayoral-race-1991.291810/page-2,

    a male friend seemingly gay answered the door when Delcefino showed up at Turner's house. My father always said that was what really killed him.

    I didn't Google it when I started this thread but I later googled it and Turner's ex divorced him after the story and apparently in court referenced the friend in divorce court
