The best selling vehicle in America remains the Ford F-150. Chevy and Dodge trucks are 2 and 3. Add GMC (9) and Toyota (10) and 5 of the top 10 are trucks. Lots of people drive trucks and some of them are lawyers.
@Rick_Kitchen Ditto what @JohnT said. It’s extremely likely that a lawyer in Texas is going to drive a pickup. I would venture a guess that in most multi-vehicle households of any means in Texas, one of the vehicles will be a pickup.
I’m not seeing a problem with a lawyer driving a pickup truck. I’m a lawyer, and I’ve driven a pickup many times. I don’t currently own one, but I do drive a giant Chevy SUV that was built on a Chevy Silverado pickup frame. It handles just like the Silverado (and Ford and Dodge) pickups that I’ve also driven, thanks to a farmer friend who has asked me to help out with getting stuff from somewhere back to the farm.
I’ve also driven an 18-wheeler semi. I’m unsure why a lawyer driving a truck in any form should be seen as unusual.
This seems to play on the stereotype notion that pick-up trucks are driven by knuckle-dragging redneck troglodytes, at least in Texas, and no educated Harvard-trained lawyer would ever fit that stereotype.
Except in Texas.
Of all the weird things in that story, the truck angle is the least remarkable.
That’s…not a “no”.
I know a Harvard-trained lawyer right in my own firm that owns a Tundra pickup. But because this is the Pacific Northwest, he also has a Tesla.
A little background…some new standards are currently being reviewed in North Carolina that would, among other things, aim for a more honest discussion about racism in history and social studies. Naturally, Republicans are against this, to the extent that Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson has claimed that there’s no such thing as systemic racism in America:
He will now be holding a press conference this afternoon because he’s shocked that a locally-published political cartoon depicts North Carolina Republicans as Klan hood-wearing elephants. That’s racist, y’all!!! 
I can’t find his press release anywhere but Facebook, so here’s the cartoon instead:
It’s actually kind of a yes.
Republican members of the House have introduced a bill that prevents gay pride flags from flying at US embassies or consulates. It doesn’t mention the pride flag in the text of the bill, but that’s what it’s for.
Tommy Tuberville says he doesn’t know anything about MTG because bad weather has prevented him from reading the news.
Looks like they are dissing the POW/MIA community to me.
And of course it is the gay pride flag that has them up in arms - is that something that actually has happened/is happening?
He can tell it to the entire group of Americans who in the mid 1960s were legally granted the right to vote. I forget who said it, but the American democracy is not a couple of hundred years old, it’s more like 55.
Anthony Blinken swore to the gay community that he would allow gay flags to fly at embassies after Individual 1 banned them,
The Chairwoman of the Hawaii GOP has resigned after a party VP tweeted out QAnon crap from an official Party twitter account.
Lindsey Graham says he needs proof that MTG made the claims that the media is reporting.
Tommy doesn’t have the slightest clue what being a Senator is about. It won’t be long before he does something clearly illegal. Whether that will matter remains to be seen.
Now I may be wrong here… goodness knows I’ve been wrong plenty of times…
But Tommy strikes me as being a person who is dumber than half a bag of hammers.
I’m not sure where to post this. This is the post that features the link which comments upon the time where the My Pillow guy causes a Newsmax(!) anchor to get up and leave his chair. The first 2 minutes or so of this video are truly hogwild fuckin hootnanny.
Ron Johnson has been the official certified stupidest Senator (not to be confused with official certified stupidest person in Congress, currently held by Louie Gohmert) since 2016. Maybe Tommy Tuberville will give him a run for his money?
never mind
