  1. Past hour
  2. Besides, USAID is dead now, but we'll still keep giving military aid to Israel.
  3. Should’ve owned being completely dominated and a paper tiger.
  4. Hardly. This was wheelhouse, though:
  5. lol sorry wild afternoon and night! We had a bank robbery where the defendant was charged with robbing a bank and a 924c for a gun that he threatened he had in the note. The whole event was: he robbed the bank with a note that said he had a gun. He never brandished it. He gets the money and runs out and in the alley between buildings he runs into a rival gang member. They get in a fight and he pulls the gun out and shoot the dude. Fast forward to trial prep, I pull CCTV footage from the cameras not affiliated with the bank and you can pretty clearly see the pistol bulging in his pants. We also get fbi and atf forensics to separately verify finger prints from the pistol and the magazine AND 2 bullets still in the magazine from the recovered pistol all matched the defendant. Fast forward again to trial: an engineer gets left in the jury panel against my protests. We get a guilty on the robbery because it thankfully wasn’t charged as armed robbery but the 924c gets hung and mistrialed. The jury reason… the engineer was couldn’t agree the concept of circumstantial evidence in practice despite not disagreeing during voir dire. He basically said that without seeing him brandish, hold or own the firearm prior to the alley murder, he couldn’t deduce that the guy did infact have pessessionnif a firearm during the robbery. And that his fingerprints on any ammo and the firearm could have been solely from the murder. Now on its face it isn’t a bad argument but all 11 other jurors were adamantly in opposition to his work (which he had also done a complete flow chart on the white board in the jury room) It was wild, the jury was pissed, we were pissed. I had since added the whole “does anyone watch CSI and expect to have fingerprinting or dna analysis on every piece of evidence?” To our questioning. [emoji1787]
  6. It's better to take pics of your food before it goes in rather than after it comes out
  7. This shit is starting to resemble a Tom Clancy novel.
  8. This isn't fascist at all.
  9. @Bevo so what, exactly is your point? Do you think that we're ok with what other countries do with our money but not Israel, or that we shouldn't criticize Israel because we are also allied with/fund other countries that also commit atrocities?
  10. he’s definitely canadian. we’ve all been over-served before. seems like a decent guy sober.
  11. George W. Bush tried to do comprehensive immigration reform, including a guest worker program, but Lou Dobbs's nightly screeds riled up the far-right and killed it. A bunch of far-right representatives in the House then tried to pass some reactionary bullshit bill, which kicked off a bunch of protests in the mid- to late aughts. Around that time, the canard of "prayer blankets" for Muslim terrorists found in the desert got thrown into the mix to maximize the fear-mongering. Then, you tie in the current president's racist accusations that the then-current president wasn't actually a citizen, along with all the other racist conspiracy shit about him being a Muslim, and you've remade an entire party into a bunch of reactionary retreads, wholly consumed with an anti-brown bias.

  13. Phones eat first bro, I don't make the rules.
  14. Guy I work with put one on a while back that said I’m out from x to y. If your email is important, send it again after y. I need to circle back and reach out to connect and see if that worked.
  15. At a certain point you are either deliberately ignoring the glaring differences or fundamentally incapable of understanding. But in either case, you've demonstrated that further engagement will not help you, and the only reason anyone should respond is if they're in a public forum and you need to be made an example of for the onlookers who, unlike you, aren't deliberately ignoring or incapable of understanding how "both things" are not meaningfully comparable. Thing One: Releasing people who have served their sentences or have posted bail is not an abuse of state power. The policy "failure" is one that could only be "fixed" by changing the rules of "releasing" people who have committed less serious crimes so that the rules operate under the assumption that undocumented people are predisposed to commit a "bigger crime" that can only be prevented by keeping them in jail. They ignore the thousands of immigrants who aren't predisposed to commit crimes either because they're racist or because they are profoundly misinformed. Thing Two: A clear and unconstitutional abuse of state power. The policy failure here is obvious, as are the blatant racism and the grotesque historical parallels to ethnic cleansing projects. These abuses are the obvious consequences of appeasing the idiots who "scream about" Thing One by indulging the assumption that undocumented people are predisposed to commit crimes. The thousands of peaceful immigrants (and non-immigrants that aren't white) who are being rounded up are being collectively punished for crimes that a tiny fraction of immigrants committed. Moral of the Story Anyone who juxtaposes these "things" and says "both are wrong" looks like a fool. Learn the difference between an ethnic cleansing project beginning with widespread abuses of state power and anomalous crimes being signal boosted by racist media figures. Be on the right side of history.
  16. Anna’s post game speech lasted longer than one of her sets in this match. Let’s hear the winner speak.
  17. Oh well, she’s got an extra 2 million dollars now
  18. You don't have to wait. Bezos's $40 million bribe "documentary" is coming later this year to Amazon Prime.
  19. I’m guessing online purchase fees factored into that. maddening.
  20. I really enjoy the Bosch stories along with Lincoln Lawyer. Love them all. Also loving Ballard.
  21. I’m a little confused or maybe surprised about what’s going on in recruiting/NIL. From listening to BB, every school has 20-22mil to spend on athletes( all athletes not just football). Anything on top of that would have to be NIL vetted by a new guy hired after the House Settlement. If Texas Tech promised Ojo anywhere close to 1 mil and their softball pitcher is at 1 mil, they’re paying 10% of their allotment for a guy that probably won’t play for two years and a softball pitcher? If part of that is based on NIL and the deal gets denied all hell breaks loose?
  22. RPM

    Scrubs

  23. this stupid to make the loser talk.
  24. I admire him for that.
  25. Wife (no pics) is from Kerrville and we're there visiting her parents once or twice a month for the last 18 years. As you can guess, it's mostly white with Hispanic not far behind. Some asian and very few blacks. If golf is your thing it's heaven. Nice little downtown with quite a few neat micro breweries. The parks next to the Guadalupe make it easy to entertain yourself outdoors and the hills/scenery can't be beat and recreation and trails are plentiful. There are a fuck ton of retirees and olds in general that can't drive for shit but still try. Proximity to San Antonio makes it easy to have access to things you may not find in town but unless you feel the need to go to La Cantera or a Spurs game there's pretty everthing you'd need otherwise. The people that work in hospitality tend to be friendly. The tex mex and bbq scene is poor. If you agree with, don't mind or don't care about the politics of the vast majority of the town, it is very nice slow paced place with great views that caters well to people in the later stages of life.
