  1. Those of you trying to reason with the trolls, knock it the fuck off. This was a good thread before they showed up. You know who they are, you know what they are here for, don't give it to them. This is the most important hearing of our lifetimes, don't let these seditious pieces of shit derail the conversation. @immamac @hayden_horn Y'all need to come clean out the trash in here. It is starting to smell like Benedict Arnold's putrid corpse.
  2. Jokes aside, Democrats all agree this is clearly a mentally ill individual who should not have had access to a Glock. We're for universal background checks, waiting periods, increased low-cost mental health access... all things that may have prevented this and many other shootings. In stark contrast, the Texas GQP wants to make sure he can get any guns he wants and do so right the fuck NOW. Are they willing to support waiting periods before purchasing a gun? No, that would unreasonably deny someone the ability to satisfy their Second Amendment fetish immediately. Are they willing to support universal background checks? No, apparently a considerable number of them are concerned they will fail a background check. Are they willing to consider reforms to handgun laws? Hahahahahaha. Not a fucking chance. Are they willing to support increased access to high quality, low-cost mental health care? No, they are against that. Socialism is only acceptable when it's going to a large corporation, or for buying off rural voting blocs. But somehow, this single event is a condemnation of the Democratic Party, their leadership, their policies and their voters.
  3. Our rival is OU. The dipshits in college station are a very distant second, perhaps even 3rd now that we're in the same league with Arkansas again. If aggy wants to play their rival in the SEC, they are going to have to add Texas Tech.
  4. Argue this point for those in the middle, perhaps, but you are never going to wake fatty up. He's picked his side and he will never change it. There is not a body count high enough to change it. There are no facts, or reasoned arguments, that will change it. He and his ilk will continue to shit up any threads about gun safety, nothing will change it. The thing that will change, is the consensus of the middle. When it does, these assholes are going to find the slippery slope they've been bitching about. Decades of resistance to common sense gun safety reforms? Fuck you, we don't need your input at all in 10-20 years when we the people get sick of the piles of dead bodies.
  5. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/18793151/ukraine-wipes-out-two-putins-generals-single-strike/ And another one x2.
  6. That was an interesting article and it made a persuasive argument. Hunting disperses the sounders and this encourages them to colonize new areas. You have to get the whole sounder at once to eliminate the problem. Makes a lot of sense and makes even more a case for state level intervention. There's very little federal land in TX, so this is almost entirely the Lege's responsibility to deal with in Texas.
  7. We are having the wrong conversation about feral hogs. If they are a huge problem, and most of us agree they are, the Texas Government should solve, or greatly limit the problem , rather than outsourcing it upon ranchers that are having their land torn up. It's a state problem and the state should do far more to fix it.
  8. All part of the plan Komrade. They aren't "losing". They are conducting a planned special withdrawal.
  9. You're not going to kill a Gopher with a gun. I've seen Caddyshack.
  10. Pubs scream government is useless and make damn sure to self-fulfill that prophecy every time they gain an ounce of power.
  11. Posters who keep bringing up gang shootings as the reason we shouldn't regulate assault weapons are unintentionally making a strong case to federally regulate handguns as well. A handgun purchased in Indiana instantly circumvents anything Illinois, or Chicago do to control gun violence.
  12. Here's video of the presumably Russian strikes on central Donetsk.
  13. General Gennady Zhidko, come on down, you're the next contestant on Scapegoat.
  14. Ukrainian artillerymen enjoy their work. One of them keep throwing up the Hook 'Em. We need to get these guys an M777 so they can have some real fun.
  15. Something in Berdyansk went boom. Sea borne missile visible around the 2 second mark. Still shot below.
  16. Oh, I know. It's just not usually spelled out so transparently.
  17. Trump staged an insurrection/coup, it just temporarily failed. They are now regrouping for a second try.
  18. Creates a perverse incentive for them to make sure the suspect is killed in any cases where they think they may have screwed up.
  19. GOP Former Chief Justice Warren Burger. Each quote is a separate time he was talking about the issue.
  20. Looks like Dvornikov has been sacked. Putin's purge continues. We'll see if his general purges can catch up with the repeated failures at Chornobaivka. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/russias-top-commander-for-the-ukraine-war-hasnt-been-seen-for-2-weeks-report/ar-AAXWHJS
  21. Police knew there were still kids alive at 12:13 p.m. https://abcnews.go.com/US/full-victims-video-appears-show-texas-911-dispatchers/story?id=85077976 Virtually everything they've told us has been a lie.
