  1. bumping this We are here: https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/04/us/texas-flood-survivors Absolutely nothing on FoxNews website https://www.foxnews.com/ Absolutely nothing on MSNBC website either https://www.msnbc.com/
  2. DAF extension watch is officially underway.
  3. He and Deloss totally enabled and culturally epitomized the "country club atmosphere" we became known for. If it hadn't been for striking gold with VY and Colt I think his legacy would have been very, very different and the trajectory of the program would have been quite grim.
  4. Haven't seen a big pop like that since the first quarter of Game 7 of the NBA Finals
  5. Handicap primary challengers who aren't over 65. Maybe like 15 percent
  6. This is the same "lens" that tells us we've been invaded by murderers and rapists and it also tells us the Iran nuclear facilities were totally obliterated and it also tells us Epstein committed suicide and never provided kids to rape for Trump, who by the way did not rape kids.
  7. Epstein files. Now.
  8. I don't think those Valley districts are going to break they way they think unless Trump is on the ballot, and even when Trump is on the ballot and wins (like he did in Laredo for example) the incumbent Dem still does pretty well. They gerrymandered the 15th like hell (adding votes from Wilson and Jim Wells counties) and could only flip the district due to Brandon's unpopularity. I think it was a hold in 2024 because of Trump but it's exactly the kind of race that, in a 2018-style blue wave, a supercandidate (like Beto was in 2018) could help a downballot challenger defeat an incumbent republican. All democrats who tried to act tough on the border FAFO'd https://www.texastribune.org/2024/08/23/michelle-vallejo-monica-de-la-cruz-south-texas-congress-border/ Whoever they try to run in TX-15 assuming this new map holds cannot be weak. I have no idea how popular De La Cruz is down there but she doesn't strike me as particularly charismatic or skilled. Not that I trust the Texas Dems not to fuck this up, but all of those valley districts are winnable.
  9. If memory serves me right, judging by that map, a 9 minute drive on I-35 from a North Austin Home Depot (Howard Lane and I-35) to the Round Rock offices of the Carlson Law Firm (Exit 251) would pass through five different Congressional districts.
  10. https://www.kcentv.com/article/sports/college/baylor/baylors-dave-aranda-apologizes-following-remarks-derogatory-term/500-4620256b-0237-4ce1-85a5-3c22990cacc4
  11. Kevin Nash would kick his ass anyway
  12. It sort of makes sense if those hands had made extensive contact with gross sweat from other men like Epstein
  13. My pet idea is to fracture Congress so instead of one member per district we would have multiple sub-Congressional bodies with one member per body per district, where each body more or less has the same "jurisdiction" as the current Congressional committees. That would in theory allow each district to send someone who truly represents its interests at a greater granularity. For example, a Houston district can send a pro-Oil MAGA guy to the Energy body and anti-MAGA pro-Immigration guys to the Homeland Security body, the Foreign Affairs body, and the Judiciary body.
  14. Mexico was corrupt as hell and they managed to do it.
  15. political prospects should have hudl reels. Can't say I've seen much of Murphy but I like that he voted against arming IDF and that he's from a safe seat.
  16. Slotkin got destroyed by Krystal Ball over Israel. Fucking Cortez Masto is why we have Emil Goddamned Bove with a lifetime judicial job
  17. I agree with you that it's stupid to waste your vote on third party candidates in general elections. But one must ask why this even happens? Did the Democrats squander an opportunity to build credibility? Why do so many people stay home or throw their votes away?
  18. It is true in some races (giant douche vs. turd sandwich general elections of which there are many especially in Texas) but I agree with your broader point that we need a party that isn't full of shit. The question is whether to form a new one like Corbyn is doing in the UK and AMLO did in Mexico or to try and take over an existing party like what happened with the republicans here.
  19. It's just so obvious to anyone paying any attention, and probably also to those who don't pay a whole lot of attention, that the Democrats are liars. When they refuse to do something good (taxing the rich, medicare for all, making immigration easier and less barbaric), they tell everyone that they are following the wishes of their constituents and need to preserve their political capital for more important things. Which is an obvious lie because these things consistently poll incredibly well, and we already know that these "moderates" don't exist would never reward a Democrat for behaving like Manchin or Sinema. But at the same time, they are clearly willing to do unpopular things so long as those unpopular things align with the priorities of wealthy donors and lobbyists. And when they're criticized for these unpopular things, they tell everyone that they are "standing up for" what they (claim to) believe. So, they are willing to exhaust their political capital, but only when it serves special interests. Never when it serves ordinary people. Which is why the Democrats are hated even more than a pedophile who's trying to reenact the Holocaust.
  20. Her political career was a sacrificial lamb to save Brandon from 400+ electoral vote humiliation.
  21. Myanmar Muslims?
  22. This is the kind of shit that could have bipartisan support in Texas. Gonna need an insurance policy, permit, and registration if you're going to own a dangerous dog breed, and there should be strong penalties for people who profit from irresponsible breeding of dangerous animals, which should be defined to include exotic animals and certain dog breeds.
  23. People think I'm trying to be funny for internet points or "cool" or "edgy" when I say that the entire roster of party leaders needs to be fired and exiled. I'm not. It's not hyperbole. You cannot convince me that a worse group of people for the job exists.
