    This. The GQP is going full evil overlord. And instead of facing electoral consequences, it is rewarded.

    We are an evil, shit state, dominated by evil shit people. Sure, there are plenty of good Texans. But as long as the GQP has us locked up at 50%+1 (which will continue for at least another generation, likely longer as political migration shakes out), we don’t matter. At all. There is zero impulse to govern Texas for all Texans. The only thing that matters isn’t even rewarding their side, it’s hurting and punishing the other side. The only metric of success is “destruction and cruelty inflicted.” And this GQP, supported by a majority of Texans, is wildly successful.

     


    You keep talking about the evil GQP, but the statement that I took issue with was "This state is getting MORE racist and misogynist, not less."

    I simply don't believe that is much evidence for that assertion.

    The record of the entire legislative session, everything filed by our AG in the last several years, our governor’s sole “leadership” being a constant game of “look how big a dick I can be to brown people,” and the fact that all of them are rewarded for that with electoral victory after victory.
    Being a piece of shit isn’t punished. It’s rewarded.


    If your interpretation of these events is correct, that would seem to prove that the Republican party is getting more racist and misogynistic, not the state of Texas.

    Your insane optimism is delightful. Truly marvelous. But still insane. This state is getting MORE racist and misogynist, not less. And it will continue to get worse. For a long, long time.

    What's your evidence for this opinion?

    Tesla has ten times the market cap of Ford. Why are they making bush league mistakes on extremely limited runs of cars if they're supposed to be worth more than the next five largest automakers combined?


    I have no idea why investors see Tesla as being 10 times as valuable as Ford. Is that Tesla's fault?

    As far as your question, Ford has been in business for 121 years, has sold more than 400 million vehicles, and they're still making "bush league"  mistakes. It would appear that it's hard to make cars.

  5. I'm no defender of Elon or Tesla, though I was impressed with a Tesla Model S that I drove, but recalls are part-and-parcel of operating a car company these days.  My Altima has had several.  Ford just recalled 450,000+ Broncos because they might lose drive power while driving, increasing the chances of an accident.  So I guess I don't understand the fixation that some have with regards to Tesla having recalls.

    Sadly, he's neither of those on mass media. He comes across as a humorless homer obsessed with talking about Texas. 

    "They're kissing their own ass, and that's hard to do." (Regarding Texas from William's appearance on the SEC show) I think he's mastered that himself. It's also not particularly witty. I'm not offended by it, BTW. 


    I thought @blacklab was talking about Vince Valdez.

    I don't think these guys are necessarily transferring out of their own accord. Elko took a bunch of randos and treated spring practice like tryouts.


    That's my take, too. Either that or a guy from Troy got a good look at the talent at an SEC school and said "you know, I think I don't belong here."

    I'm sure these are all revelatory points to the coaching staff (and everyone who's been on this board for the past month)


    They have? Because I have a nephew who's a 5'8, 155 .lb RB in Castroville who is an overlooked gem. His nickname is "White Turpentine"  and I just need an address to send some film to.
