  1. It’s fucking insane with everything that is happening with the House today. Three Toes will be filing a motion to vacate tomorrow, no doubt about it, and sounds like Gaetz and a few others will back her.
  2. Here in Austin, we call this just another day at a school. Kids wear all kids of stuff that is not bright yellow or bright orange. Including actual camouflage as well as Minecraft stuff that blends in well. As the parent of young kids, and somebody who takes their kid to school frequently, I see this way more often than I would like (thankfully with other peoples kids, mine are good about it). I assume any kid within a 5 feet of a curb is going to randomly and rapidly accelerate into the street.
  3. We’ve been doing it for two centuries and others far longer. Whether it’s the Great Game, or the Cold War, it comes down to commerce and geography.
  4. SIAP, for those in Austin with 5-17 year olds who like to swim and who aren’t on a year-round team, Parks and Rec opened up swim team registration earlier this month. Not sure how long registration runs, but the season is from early June through mid/late July. Last year the kids finished the season by swimming at UT’s natatorium. Only $80 for 4 days a week practice and saturday swim meets at the various neighborhood pools https://www.austintexas.gov/department/swim-teams Many/most of the neighborhood pools have teams
  5. It seems like the only thing that would outweigh going against Trump’s wishes and Marjorie’s threats. Trump and Three-toes can threaten him, but he still has a shot at holding on to the Speaker’s seat in another vote. A couple of (R) resignations and there’s no more Republican House Speaker until next January at the earliest.
  6. Not going to lie, didn’t have Argentina becoming a partner of NATO to help Ukraine on my bingo card.
  7. And at least on person in the household has a goatee.
  8. Don Trump Jr is publicly supporting Marjorie on Twitter and bashing Johnson, and I question whether Junior would be doing that without daddy’s approval. What if Johnson thinks that Trump and the House are going to lose bigly in November? Or he’s gotten wind that the Republicans are being harmed by their pro-Republicans stances? Or that more Republicans will quit and give the House over to the Dems if he does nothing? .
  9. Please, post the links to me bringing that up over the last three months “at every possible moment”. Edit: By the way, I was going to point out that the judges who have ruled on birth control in Texas are evangelicals, but fucking Matthew Kacmsaryk is a Catholic and also a UT grad, so…
  10. The theocracy assholes have all but banned abortion here, and have made a run at making online porn hard to get in Texas for many people. it does raise the question of what will be next after they get some forms of birth control banned next year. I’m assuming gay marriage and same-sex relations will be on the table.
  11. Except I didn’t want or need a reason to post about the Catholicos, and the majority of people openly driving this move against birth control are evangelicals/non-Catholics. The fundamentalist Catholics are allied with them, sure, such as the head of the Heritage Foundation (who is a UT grad and somebody here knew him in grad school), but overall it’s being publicly driven by the evangelicals who want certain groups to have more babies because they are insecure about the demographics. If you want to fixate on Catholics, be my guest, but they aren’t the ones openly driving this.
  12. So the solution is to encourage more bitcoin people to move here, right?
  13. Why the fuck do we have game day threads for each football game? Why do we have separate threads for TV shows or movies? The abortion battle happened already, and for those of us in Texas, it’s done for the next few election cycles. Meanwhile the birth control fight is just starting to rear its ugly headL with the 5th Circuit handing the anti-birth control folks a major victory last month (that flew under the radar in the abortion thread because it wasn’t about abortion).
  14. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Fox News went after Marjorie yesterday.

  16. I have it on good authority from a former President of the United States that those 9 million illegal aliens are lazy.
  17. Getting owned by Chuck Schumer. Thank you for representing Texas.
