  1. They’ll all be dead by the time Junior is crowned and the cult turns on the dynasty.
  2. Bought mine last year. I’m stuck here, just hoping that I’m wrong in thinking this state has fallen into a bottomless pit of depravity. It’s all I’ve got.
  3. This is so they can start making the case for suspending the 2028 election, or some other path to eternal power. I can see red states declaring that, based on those findings, their electoral votes have to be decided by their state legislatures until the swamp is fully drained. Then Trump issues an EO suspending the 22nd Amendment. SCOTUS will find the suit to be a nonjusticiable political question.
  4. Yes, as long as you’re mindful of your own bubble. It’s important to get a little dose of how the simple-minded think. He’s a fine example of the folks the algorithm has radicalized. I totally understand ignoring him if you’ve got 1 or more of these mush-brained buffoons in your offline life. You deserve the online getaway.
  5. Y’all haven’t realized it was a bit til now? He gets off on finding someone he can call a 4th grader. You can practically hear him splash off the glass Roman Roy style. I figured a couple of y’all enjoyed being his Gerry Kellman, talking him through his release. His turn to mental health disorders is just plain old projection. He’s embarrassed, but can’t stop.
  6. Pure delusion. Or a spectacular bit. Either way, I am entertained.
  7. Never said it was easy or prevent. We have done it though. Have we chosen to do it late? Sure. Does it mean we won't/can't do it early? If you say for certain, you're a fool.
  8. And we were 11 personnel dominant in ‘08 until the RRS where the Irby injury necessitated a change. If aggy presents a 2 high or 3 high look, we should thank them for the 5+ yards and run it again
  9. Or maybe, knowing this, we establish a running game out of the gate, and the tweaked ankle leads to quieter feet, a more stable platform to throw from, resulting in improved accuracy down field and a devastating play action attack.
  10. Dude, take the W. He took the L, sure like a pussy, but he took it.
  11. Republicans were already there before Bruen. They just needed to get Kennedy out of there. In Rahimi, the Court basically admits that Bruen was too rigid. The 5th Circuit followed Bruen and concluded that since wife beaters used to legally arm themselves back then, they obviously can now. All but Thomas saw the flaw in the Bruen framework, and said it was more a general guideline (like the Pirate's Code) than a real judical test. The Court, like the country in general, is no longer a serious entity.
  12. They do. Getting a run of the mill state felony to trial in 10-12 months takes effort. One of my cases headed to trial passed the year mark in August, when the state realized they missed a crucial step. That one’s somewhat straightforward. Federal prosecutions against public figures are 10x as complex.
  13. Yeah, not sure where he was going with that. Courts move slowly on purpose. We may occasionally root for a one-off Ready, Fire, Aim approach, but it’s antithetical to a free system. But a free system depends on folks not voting to ditch the system.
  14. Vought? His name is Vought? The simulation isn’t even trying anymore.
  15. Yes. And so will his replacement in the House.
  16. If we're going the serious route, I took classes from 2 of them. After hours, they reach for the bottle as much as any of us.
  17. There was one?
  18. We never feel good about anything. Most of what we do, we either immediately or eventually regret. The group you're looking for is elderly nightly news watchers. Also high school government teachers.
  19. Agree with all of this, but you're speaking to middle class culture and culture is a force that policy usually cannot redirect. Policy-wise, we're here because round after round of GOP tax cuts directed primarily at the wealthy fueled dramatic asset price increases that, of course, are the real pocket-book problem for the folks who just voted for the chaos agent.
  20. You will not believe the economic catastrophe. The best economic catastrophe. A big, long, beautiful economic catastrophe. People are saying its the finest and best economic catastrophe ever.
  21. They’ll all bend the knee. They’re not journalists, leaders or intellectuals, they’re millionaire entertainers.
  22. They know where this is headed. Kiss the ring now, maybe you keep your living/freedom/life. Cowardly and disgusting, but prudent if that’s who you are. Gonna see a lot more of that.
  23. Neither is the about to be moot Constitution. Power and the will to use it make everything but sufficient power and will to resist irrelevant. The only group situated to resist are Dems. Keep pretending we aren’t completely fucked if it makes you feel better.
  24. It’s still sending poor non-violent offenders to prison for long stretches, and doing nothing* to set them on a better path after release so it’s still working as intended. *Well, they do wring as much money out of they families through privatized phone services and commissary sales of luxuries like soap and toothbrushes, so they are learning that corporations are their masters and that trying to better themselves is likely futile, so they do get a better real world education than their crumbling public school could manage.
  25. Yeah, NIMBY is usually just bad policy. Nearby, in the reddest part of ultra-red Montgomery county, NIMBY means roads and schools. It’s amazing watching Magnolia ISD get flooded with students while they vote down bonds to give them a place to be during the day. Fortunately I’m in CISD, and we just elected board members committed to banning books. Stupid, but I’ll know which books to get my girls. I never get to “both sides” things, so there it is.
