  2. i actually miss the somewhat intellectual back and forth of the old days (Shaggy), but the logical or cogent defense of this President is so threadbare, that doesn't make it possible. Every defense is on it's surface so shallow and ridiculous.That is why the more thoughtful right leaning, conservative voices have disappeared around here. They have choose to disappear, recognizing that there is no sound argument for what is going on with this President. what's left is shrill whataboutism, random posts about professors/racist cartoons, and antifa videos which on one in these rooms are defending. Winning?

  4. "Every politician lies. Therefore it is simply unfair to count Trump's lies against him. Trump not lying would be unilateral surrender to the libs." Once one truly understands the simplicity of this perfectly inane argument, one understands why Trumpkins exist and band together in deplorable blobs of ugliness and stupidity.

  6. Remember Jared Kush's innocent mistake of trying to set up a "back channel" to the Russians? I believe a reasonable can conclude that his early administration "faux pas" is another link in the chain of Trump nefarious activities that extends from the Trump Tower meeting through whatever Manafort and Flynn were up to and now Rudy. This is an ongoing conspiracy that Trump may successfully boil down to a single "perfect" phone call with no spoken quid pro quo upon which his base can hang their MAGA hats. It still astonishes me that the republic has got to a place where 60 million people support a clearly corrupt president just like they do their favorite NFL team through thick and thin. Their team ownership (remaining GOP establishment) can't afford to do the right thing or they won't be able to sell out the games. Defense, Intelligence, and State professionals come forward likely destroying their careers and so very few of us even take notice. Insane Idiot World

  7. The Doyle recruitment is classic aggy. 1) Decommits -> immediately aggy is the favorite to commit right away 2) Announces he will take all his visits before making a decision -> aggy is still the run away leader here 3) Comes on official visit to aggy -> aggy will sew up this recruitment this weekend, though I don't expect a commitment, I would expect a commitment here. Run away leader. 4) Kid leaves aggy official visit -> aggy hit a home run with the visit, he still has more visits to take, but if he chose right now it would aggy. 5) Kid takes other official visits -> aggy still the leader, even though communication has been lagging between prospect and aggy staff. 6) Crystal balls begin to flood for another school -> it's obvious Jimbo backed off and we will get another highly rated player to replace him. Currently the Doyle recruitment is at step 4.

  8. Nah, ya know what, fuck Mattis. We’ve been lied to about “the adults in the room” and their moderating effect on Trump. They didn’t do anything to keep him in line. They just cleaned up after him when he threw his shit all over the place. Then those few “adults in the room” tucked tail and abandoned ship. At some point these old school “decorum and chain of command” is the most important thing have to say “ENOUGH!”. All of Mattis’s years of service don’t mean shit to me if he continues to remain silent about the treason he was privy to. At some point the greater good is more important than some outdated protocol. Silent collaborators are just as much to blame and a uniform with a chest full of medals don’t absolve him. Blah blah evil men triumphing blah blah good men remaining silent blah blah.

  10. I did a search for Coy Featherston before posting this story and nothing came up so here it is... 9/11 version of AAS had a picture of an old man pushing a cart along Guadalupe, accompanying an article about homeless encampments. He's unrecognizable but it gives his name. An Austin woman recognized the name, Coy Featherston, as a boy she went to high school with in Corpus. She contacted some old hs friends to ask if they thought it was their old classmate. She went looking for him around Guadalupe and it took her 3 separate trips but she finally found him outside St. Austin parish near the University. Featherston's old high school friends have banded together, provided him a place to live, and are helping him obtain the i.d. he needs to obtain Social Security. He was born in the Philippines while his dad was stationed there, his birth certificate was lost long ago, and obtaining a copy isn't easy. Played football for Corpus high. And apparently had a scholarship as a RB for UT under Darrell Royal. links https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/he-had-been-homeless-for-decades-then-old-friends-saw-his-photo-in-a-newspaper/ar-AAIO9oa?ocid=spartandhp https://www.statesman.com/news/20191014/lost-and-found-ex-classmates-rally-to-help-homeless-austin-man-in-statesman-photo?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Twitter&utm_campaign=statesman

  17. I dunno. But it sure as shit raises a lot of questions. An attorney is a legal agent of the person they represent. So, Rudy was an agent of one of two people: 1 - Donald Trump, individual citizen 2 - Donald Trump, President of the United States If he was acting in role 1, then anything he was doing was NOT officially on behalf of the US government.....and thus is not cloaked in executive privilege or anything of that sort. While he might have an attorney-client privilege in terms of communications, actions that would be illegal if they are NOT taken within the scope of the president's authority (think simple things here - the president can order an airstrike on a suspected terrorist training camp, killing people, and he generally can't be prosecuted for that; if private citizen Trump does that, it's a crime) are flat-out crimes, and he has taken part in the commission of those crimes. If, on the other hand, he was acting in role 2, and was acting at the direction of the President of the United States, then any impeachable offenses committed by and through him are impeachable offenses of the President himself. Quite the choice there, fellas. Which one are they gonna claim? Choose wisely......

  20. Demas doesn't seem near the locker room poison that Evans is. He's got handlers who botched his school situation, but otherwise he's been enthusiastic about the school he's committed too and has worked hard to try to recruit to them. Plus he's a phenom athlete. He'll probably be fine, if underutilized at aggy before blowing up in the pros.

  21. I’m late to this conversation but those “normal conservatives” or whatever you want to call them can be easily found on this board. They’re in the Syria thread on the Daily Texan complaining about people getting “too political” because they’re embarrassed to have a real conversation because they’re too ashamed to admit who and what they support or they’re crying on the help board about feeling unwelcome in the CR because,again, they aren’t strong enough to come here and defend the indefensible.

  27. Exactly. Dak isn’t a generational QB like Brady or Manning, but he’s got the tools to lead an effective offense. It’s not like we’re trotting Luke Falk out there. If he was in a different system that actually utilized his strengths or was at all creative it’d be a different ballgame. Romo carried this offense so much that Garrett is actually convinced the scheme isn’t the problem but the truth is Romo was able to make the scheme “work” more or less, not vice-versa. Maybe I’m a bad fan but I’m resigned to the fact that we will never accomplish anything meaningful with Garrett as Head Coach.

  28. No, we want them to be consistent and not be hypocrites. I would prefer that they shut up and dribble, shoot, pitch, hit, tackle or kick but if you are going to be “woke”, don’t stop being woke only when it affects your bank account.

  34. Okay, I don't believe I have ever negged your posts (if that is what the little red thingamabob is called) so let's discuss this idea. It won't change your mind, but let's discuss it. So, there are many professors that devote their research to something with which you disagree and think is stupid. That is fair enough. I'm sure I wouldn't have to go all that far to find examples of that myself. They may be different than your examples, but I'm sure I could find them. But, this particular professor has most likely published her work in one of the many small journals in her field and in this case, it is The Contemporary Pacific: a journal of island affairs. Ms. Barker's field of study is sociocultural anthropology with a specific emphasis on the nuclear weapons testing in the Marshall Islands. She also advocates for Marshallese (sp?)who were affected by this testing. Most people don't even give the people that live in this area a single thought. Ever. They don't seem to understand that this is an island chain and that the effects were felt in areas that did not have relocated people, or even that the residents had to relocate at all. If the government shows up in your subdivision and says, "hey! you have to move to Norman because we are going to bomb the h*ll out of your property'" and moving to Norman couldn't get you far enough away from the fallout, you might have some lasting effects that are more than just physical. So studying these effects are what anthropologists do. And in Ms. Barker's case, how the rest of America and its government views and treats specific populations is what she researches. Sponge Bob Squarepants is her vehicle for doing this, for showing interconnected relationships and policy and history. Her job at UWash, I'm sure, depends upon publication of her work and is probably counted. You may think it is a waste of time and effort, but before their story and their lives are lost to us, she is cataloguing what the people who have lived through this have to say and their experiences and filtering them with her point of view. You may disagree with her point of view in which case you need to go back to school, get an advanced degree in anthropology (if you don't have one already), get hired at an institution of higher education, write an article refuting her work, submit it for publication, have it go out for peer review, get it accepted and then published. There are a ton of sh*tty journals in a lot of fields out there, and I have no expertise in her field so I don't know where this Contemporary Pacific one ranks. None of this matters to you. I get it, but if you are going to reject something out of hand, you really ought to learn more about it so you don't waste your education. That is what the people at Campus Reform do. Instead of taking the opportunity to learn more about what happened, what is happening, and what might happen they simply read one sentence and jump up and down screaming, "she dissed Sponge Bob!". Here is one article out of many that discusses the people of the Marshall Islands and the nuclear legacy: It's WaPo, so may be behind a paywall. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2015/11/27/a-ground-zero-forgotten/?utm_term=.3d3f2959cdc8 Vote however you vote, it's your privilege, but be informed. It takes less time than you think to stop the knee-jerk reaction to the Campus Reform whistle and explore and inform yourself. It may not change your mind, but at least you can discern their agenda.
