  1. I'll wait and see before declaring him unfit to coach. Lots of ways a 70 year old can end up passed out at a steakhouse.
  2. If the "invasion" is so real why do they have to make things up?
  3. I've been thinking what the expectations are for this first year for HC Bush. On one hand it's a cupcake schedule with a lot of sub-D1 teams but on the other hand these players have no experience playing together. Two consecutive losing seasons then i think his seat starts to get hot. He will also have to contend with all of his best performers getting snatched in the portal and having to replace them with JUCOs and guys who are upset they're not getting enough playing time at UAB or Troy. The only NIL to speak of will be underwritten by used car salesmen or payday lenders.
  4. After all the shit people on the right gave Zelenskyy's attire, this is how someone willing to allow their personal tragedy to be exploited by racist politicians gets to dress in the Oval Office
  5. Kind of interesting they had the game in Brownsville instead of at the stadium in Edinburg. Maybe it's not done being built out.
  6. There is no "Biden's DHS." The rank and file of that agency openly hated and consistently undermined Obama and Biden when they were president, and of course in true liberal fashion Obama and Biden sat there and took it because "when they go low we go high" and our cherished norms, and we need to court Liz Cheney. Don't believe DHS's lies.
  7. gangsters who shop at Ross?
  8. I've met and know people in both camps. The difference in opinion correlates with household income and net worth. I think if a good challenger came around maybe Garza would lose in the primary but who's gonna step up? Gonna have to be someone who shares his restorative justice policies but has a better track record of running a big office AND is willing or financially able to forgo lucrative private sector jobs to take a highly scrutinized public job where nobody is ever going to be happy with you.

  10. This is valid, but voters seem not to care. Another case of bad boss, good politician. And to Chicken's point, your chart says what I was going to say. No matter who was in office, they were gonna be holding the bag on stats like that (like Sark with Herman's recruits)
  11. I've long suspected that high-level positions are mostly useless (Pete Hegseth running DOD for example) in that you can take a competent person and swap them out with an incompetent person and as long as the behind the scenes folks actually running things are still there to actually run things the organization will basically remain the same. I know there are situations where the difference at that level is going to matter but as far as crime and urban blight in Austin are concerned I haven't seen the case be made that from 2021 to today Austin would have been noticeably better if someone other than Garza had been in office.
  12. That means a lot coming from you, thank you
  13. You can lose the criminal trial but win the civil trial, and then rename the book to "I DID IT"
  14. I've tuned out most of the anti-Garza smears as being linked to dark money or butthurt political enemies with an axe to grind. There are probably valid criticisms of him but I can't tell what's a fair critique from the bullshit "we're being invaded"-type hysteria. The reality is the homeless problem has no economically feasible solutions that are also humane. We're not going to support unchecked police power, so if that happens it will be due to the state overtaking power from the city's elected officials. For every "why was this scary guy given bond" story you see on social media to drive outrage and clicks there are dozens of unpublicized stories of ordinary people who got some kind of leniency that prevented their lives and family finances from spiraling into something worse. Have you ever noticed how all the "tough on crime" jurisdictions have the worst quality of life, and higher crime? That's no coincidence.
  15. The preferred nomenclature is People of Speed
  16. you forgot the most important word: serious
  17. The stories coming out about just how gone he was toward the end of his term? Look I think did a great job getting us out of COVID and he did a few other good things as well, but there's no way he could have done the job a second term. Yes it would be better than the shitshow we're currently dealing with, but I wouldn't say that anyone better than Trump 47 to necessarily be qualified.
  18. And both were unqualified to do the job. We must do better.
  19. Oh I think he's coming back. Too bad this guy's an old, or that photo would've made him a lock for the 2028 nom
  20. send him back he's a chiefs fan
  21. Senator just confirmed it
  22. This is a better screenshot of Bukele's post
