  1. Seems like Cohen told stories about how Trump used mafia style intimidation like sending thugs to threaten in person? Maybe that was Avenatti making some shit up. If he was/is so frugal, seems very likely he'd send some heavy to lean on someone before buying someone out. I hope prosecution got some proof of that and will include it into evidence.
  2. What are the odds Trump will try to use a picture of Hunter's junk and claim it as his own?
  3. This drives a lot of the Hispanic vote in Texas. The idea of Trump's machismo. Women of Trump calendar? I wonder if they intend to use the "definition of sex" defense Clinton used?
  4. Another point of interest will be in how Melania reacts to all this being aired in public as factual testimony instead of being able to brush it off as gossip or hearsay. Everything in this trial will be good fodder for her divorce case. Stupid question amnesty: imagine this has been discussed ad nauseum, but how can someone convicted of a felony not be able to vote, but can still run for an elected position? He can run for president, but isn't allowed to vote for himself?
  5. I went into the two different Post Office facilities in Huntsville the other day to check on renewing my passport. I could not believe how poorly kept the buildings and grounds were. Understaffed, underfunded now, these places used to be showpieces for the US government. Now they just look shabby and worn. Which then in turn reduces the citizen's confidence that their mail will in fact go through. I know it hurt in Houston during the primaries when it came to getting applications for and then ballots by mail. I imagine it was all over the state to some extent. All because of DeJoy and his bullshit.
  6. I just can't imagine the crap this kid goes through with all these morons wanting some snippet to write clickbait about. You gotta know that family has an internal set of bingo cards they play concerning the Arch speculation.
  7. It would be interesting to poll A&M fans, UT fans and those who don't have a dog in the hunt and see what the predominant answers are. And then sort that according to each of those groups. It I would guess aggy would say: Arrogance, lack of respect (the meanies thing Deej brought up) UT pays off officials for unfair advantages. BOMC machine, including LHN Unequal distribution of PUF Stockpiling talent in the DKR years Unfair recruiting in general. But it would be entertaining to see what the different groups thought were the base of the hatred or inferiority. Maybe do a similar one for why UT disdains everything aggy.
  8. Good place for Finebaum's article. The headline is misleading for whatever reason. Should be "STFU Aggies."
  9. The glove missing is the chef's kiss.
  10. Actually, you can do this in Texas. They just don't advertise it. Same lack of advertising that people who committed crimes but have completed their sentences and gone 'off paper' can vote as well.
  11. the little things - It was decent but had some plot holes. It was set in the mid 70's LA, so it was interesting to see how they did the period stuff like no cell phones but digital pagers, etc. I enjoyed it enough to sit through it, but that's about all I can say.
  12. Make them in the shape of crosses and you'd quadruple your sales.
  13. I don't know. Lots of talk on the football side about forearms and calves.
  14. Pretty much like these two:
  15. I don't think kids spend as much time learning to actually write vs using a keyboard. My youngest was never taught cursive and even 3 years into college his handwriting is about like a 4th grader. But then lots of kids his age are at the same level. But he can hammer out texts on a phone in record time. Another thing that is weighing on this generation is actually finding something they can do as a career that isn't destined to be impacted to some degree by AI or robotics. That also leads to pretty much everyone already in the workforce too. The old ways of doing things are rapidly changing, and the valuation of what an individual can bring to society will have to change. Humans have the capacity to produce and that's what has given purpose to our lives for centuries. But what happens when that production is done more efficiently by robots or AI systems? Then what do humans do with their time? What do they have coming in to support themselves and their families? Or do we scale back from the efficiency of those systems in order to keep humans viable? All this plays into the apathy too for a lot of these kids. A shrinking job market, no company loyalty, unaffordable housing, etc.
