  1. They are really putting the ag in MAGA on Twitter right now
  2. He should play “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project when he goes out on the balcony.
  3. Trump can still be elected pope if only Mike Pence has the courage.
  4. Trump begging for a meeting with Xi by preemptively offering an indicative concession of an 83% tariff cut doesn’t seem like he’s controlling the terms of negotiation to you?
  5. This. This team is a mess.
  6. Imagine going back in time to 2004 and hearing that a future Republican president would impose an import tariff on the United Kingdom.
  7. Jesus, who is running the show over there, Greg Lansky?
  8. Boooooooooo Wordle 1,419 X/6 ⬜⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩
  9. Oh I’m sure refusing to go on their podcasts makes them feel terrible. I’m sure all the monarchist wingnuts and conspiracy dingbats feel very ashamed that Democrat politicians won’t platform them.
  10. Maybe we are splitting hairs here, but I don’t think it’s possible to shame anything by valiantly running away like Brave Sur Robin. Democrat politicians and the party need to relearn aggressive confrontation and stop relying on outdoor protests and dirty hippies chanting hey-ho.
  11. The last line is nonsense. He’s a goofy weirdo, and compares Donald Trump with Robert Mugabe. The left needs to learn how to cultivate attention and not being so goddamn precious about things. Certainly there’s a wrong way to do it, but it’s pure fantasy to think that Hanania and co are influential because the left legitimized them. He doesn’t need your help, and if you avoid him you’re just conceding the argument. Did James Baldwin “platform” William Buckley?
  12. What about pickin’ and grinning’?
  13. this was harder than it should have been Wordle 1,418 5/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟨⬜⬜🟨⬜ 🟨🟨🟨⬜🟨 🟨⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  14. What would be great here is for this to stop right now. Really fucking dicey. No no no no no we do not want that
  15. My daughter and I were talking last night about places where you can and can’t carry a holstered firearm and we started talking about the woman who shot herself in the parking lot of McBride’s the other day. It’s hard to know what people’s intentions are. So then we had a great idea. The idea is a gun hat- basically a large cowboy hat, but with one or more holsters on the crown of the hat so you can assert/promote your 2A rights in a highly visible but less operational way with less risk of triggering or scaring nervous people and anti-gun wackos. Imagine how proud you would feel to be an American when you wear this around:
  16. And the company laying people off is named “Canary”? This is all getting very on-the-nose.
  17. Forget about the merits of the policy for a second, how the fuck do you not have a canned answer for that question at this point? @realgreggym, who mans is this?
  18. Is that a bible hat? It seems to be a bible hat
  19. I’m a JFK Truther- with the LIRR from Jamaica going to Grand Central it’s <1 hour gate to midtown no matter the traffic and weather.
  20. On the other hand 90% of the owners can’t play for shit so the damage is contained to friends and family. Thoughts and Prayers. 🙏
  21. This is a little less of a problem than it was before, but from 2014-2022 especially, Austin had a massive leadership vacuum on the council, and they generally expected their appointees on the sovereign commissions like PC to act as surrogates. That’s not how it’s supposed to work and not how good commissions run. A Sovereign commission should make defacto final decisions on about 80-90% of what they see the first time it comes up with the expectation of council approval on consent. And council should use commissions to soak up political heat on controversial issues. Instead what was happening was that staff would present a sound recommendation, and if the issue was politically hot the commissions would delay as long as they could, indulge anyone with connections, blame staff for not taking enough input, and then send it to council much watered down. Then council would repeat the delay/indulge/blame dynamic until they ran out of process to conduct, and if the issue hadn’t died on its own (or if it had died of misinformation like the Zilker plan or sabotage like Code Next), they would blame staff for not taking enough community feedback, and either restart the process over again or do something halfass (Northcross) and blame staff for not taking enough community feedback. What staff learned from all this was that they could not trust council or PC to take the heat for their own policy decisions and adopted a practice of slow rolling projects until either the applicants or opposition collapsed. It’s slightly better for the land use plans than it was, but the teens were a lost decade in terms of land use and public safety still very much appears to be operating in that dynamic
  22. At this point the conspiracy theory and the incompetence theory converge into a single outcome. So why would a new buyer pay the premium when a change of ownership is the thing that creates the additional equity? If the Adelsons can’t get a stadium deal done in Dallas or Irving with a casino/resort attached or heavy taxpayer subsidies the franchise would be worth more to the Adelsons in a new arena in Las Vegas. The number of times the league has stopped a team from moving when they can’t get a new arena built is zero.
  23. Really hoping the telegram bot don’t get creative here
