    I didn't read it and really enjoyed season 1, so hopefully it gets renewed. I'm sure the Saul character does too, since he's supposed to be the smartest person in the show but spent all of season one getting high.

     

    and fucking chicks.

    Look carefully at the fuck stick facing the camera on the right.

    Carefully.

    Because he sure as fuck isn't. That guns a low rest. NOT low READY. The barrel might not be directly pointing at his hero buddy's leg, but it's very close if not.

    1) All guns gun are always loaded. (Check)

    2) Never point your gun at something/someone you're not willing/want to destroy/injure/kill (check)

    3) Never put your finger on the trigger until your firearm is down range on target. (CHECK)

    4) Confirm your target (I guess check???)

    Those are the 4 fundamentals of gun safety and in the process of not protecting innocent people during and active shooting, that fuck head is violating all of them.

    I'm not anti-police, nor anti-gun but I'm sure as fuck anti dumb fucking cowards with guns.

     

     

    Remember some years back at the school shooting in Alpine where one cop shot another cop in the back of the leg as they were clearing the school. I'm sure you could apply what you just said above to that idiot. 

     

    edit: US Marshal shot a Homeland Security agent in the back of the leg.

    Is there supposed to be one more image to finish this off? I would like to read it - right now there's an empty space to suggest that there's one more installment, but the last one that's visible ends with Kevin's grandfather's chainsaw death. 

     

    There is one more image that was cut off. It says that Kevin actually thought he could beat up a chimpanzee.

    Edit:  maximum range is about 110 miles. Why even bother? Just drive home and sleep in your own bed.

    Those pics were taken over easter weekend in Alpine. Its about 80 miles to Big Bend from there. Not sure if there are any charging stations in Big Bend/Terlingua. 

    There is one in Ft. Stockton, about 70 miles away. There might be one in Marfa, 25 miles, but I don't know.

    this is all yet another delaying tactic. Post some bullshit that's supposed to be a legit bond. It isn't, everybody knows it isn't, but here we go again with the delay delay delay

    He’s going to commit fraud on that financial statement isn’t he?

     

    can the bond issuer get in trouble for having issued the bond if the financial statement shows that Trump doesn’t have enough equity in the pledged properties to cover the 175 million, or is it simply more financial risk for them?

     

    In a few weeks there will be two new lawsuits filed: dOTArd vs the bond insurer, and the bond insurer vs doTaRd.

    In college I stopped showing up to a class after about the second week. Walked in to take the final months later and after I sat down the professor looked at me and, in front of everyone, said "what are you doing here?" Then informed me that I was welcome to take the exam but I'd be getting an F in the class regardless. Put my pens back in my pocket and walked out the room. Parents were pretty thrilled with that one.

     

    I did this also. I would check the syllabus and show up for the exams. One time I randomly showed for class and the professor started passing out an exam. I was like shit, I didn't know there was an exam today. 

    When I got the exam, I realized it was for a class that I was not registered for. I was in the wrong room, exactly one floor off. I waited until someone else turned in their exam first, then turned in my blank exam, and left. 

    In my defense, I was probably high as fuck.

    My oldest receives two days of excused absences from her high school for college visits. We had to cut a college visit short yesterday and haul ass home because her softball coach replied to her email that if she missed practice Tuesday afternoon he couldn't guarantee that she'd start or play this Friday - on Senior Night.

     

    If schools had this same attitude for English and Math class as for softball, maybe kids wouldn't miss so much school.

    Today's generation of students are simply apt pupils.

    • Many of the adults around them view public schools as fatally flawed guvment bullshit
    • Those adults elect other adults who view public schools similarly
    • Those elected officials hire other adults to administer schools from a pool of people who view public schools similarly
    • Those administrators ensure the school lives up to their expectation of being fatally flawed guvment bullshit

    How are kids supposed to take school seriously when the adults around them don't?

     

    My daughter (8th grade, no pics) is in band and sports. She misses school all the fucking time for band concerts, track meets, volleyball games, whatever. 

    I realize that is all extracurricular, but if schools are that worried about kids missing school, then maybe some of that shit should be on saturdays. 

    The message is "don't miss school, but actually its ok to miss school for (all these relatively unimportant reasons)." Wtf do the schools expect? If its ok to miss two days for a volleyball tournament, and a day for a band recital all in one week, then why isn't it ok to miss for a family vacation, or a wedding, or whatever?

    God I fucking hate Troy Nehls. I don't get it. Fort Bend voted for Clinton, for Biden, they rejected his dipshit brother for sheriff. How did we send this twat to DC? I know Richmond and Rosenberg are pretty redneck but Sugar Land is just... not Nehls.

    This douche is my rep:

    Do you think the character of Jesus in the Bible was a real person who actually existed? 

     

    Does the actual true answer to this question, which we will never know, really matter?

    Potentially the biggest news to-date in this election cycle:

     

     

     

    great so Florida voters can legalize weed and abortion, and then keep electing the same dipshits that made those things illegal in the first place.

    DJT stock hits turbulence: More volatility ahead for Trump's high-flying Truth Social

    Teri Lynn Roberson, couldn’t care less about the business fundamentals.

    Roberson, 52, from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex in Texas, said she purchased five shares of Trump Media at about $72 a pop, right around the stock price’s Monday peak, to show her support for the former president.

    “It’s mainly to support Trump and his legal battles,” she said.

    Sir you lie.

    Because you know, and I know that you secretly DID want them to die in a fire.... just maybe a little more down the road and away from the gas station.

    Dudes who drive diesel pickups and never pull anything with them are definitely a trivial thing that makes me surly.

     

    I live in an area where there is considerable ranching, so lots of ranch trucks pulling cattle or horses or loads of hay, which is fine. Just no reason to idle when you are parked three feet from somebody. 

    But yeah, it didn't look like it was being used on the ranch much.

    The old Paragon Prep building is a homeless camp. Maybe they are there to study all those old textbooks.

    I wonder if he's going to be found too crazy to stand trial and be released back on the streets. Yay for tax paying citizens!

     

    https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/take-some-time-to-wear-off-76-year-old-woman-home-when-man-experiencing-homelessness-breaks-in-apd/

    AUSTIN (KXAN) — “I thought it was a good time to relax and watch a movie,” 76-year-old Kathy Struck said about the afternoon of March 16. Her daughter Jennifer had just left for the grocery store.

    The back door was unlocked.

    “All of a sudden, I turn my head, and there’s a man in my bedroom,” Struck said, adding that the man also went through her pantry and refrigerator.

    She said she stayed calm and got him to leave, locking the door behind him.

    “Then I heard noise, I heard loud banging,” Struck said. He got back in, breaking through the laundry room window. And his demeanor changed, she said.

    “Destroying things, and he was moving the washer and dryer, so at that time, I decided I better call 911,” Struck said. Between the call and the time police got there, Struck said the man got into her toolbox. “They sent a policeman. The minute he saw the man, he pulled his gun and said ‘Drop the hammer.'”

    Police said the man was experiencing homelessness.

    This happened in central Austin off of North Lamar Boulevard. The Austin Police Department (APD) said the man barricaded himself in the laundry room.

    “When officers arrived, they made multiple attempts to get the suspect out of the room using commands and pepper balls,” the department said in a statement. “After a round of pepper balls, officers were successful getting the suspect out and making an arrest.”

    While police worked to get the man out of Struck’s house, she said one officer stayed with her in her room.

    “He kept me busy talking. We could hear what was going on out there,” she said. Struck said she saw crews take the man away in an ambulance.

    He faces burglary charges, according to police.

    KXAN learned of Struck’s story when her neighbors reached out about growing homeless activity at an abandoned building nearby on Old Koenig Lane.

    The City told us it’s aware of concerns related to the building, and has previously requested support from the Austin Police Department in clearing the camps set up inside. Following code violations related to trash and needing to secure the property – the Develop Services Department says city contractors have repeatedly installed new fences and boarded up the property.

    The fire department said a person experiencing homelessness was responsible for a fire at that very building last week. According to the Development Services Department, staff are meeting with the Building Standards Commission next month to request a demolition order.

    While police said the man who broke into Struck’s home is listed as homeless, they could not confirm he was staying at that building.

    “It’s hard because a large percentage of these homeless people are mentally ill,” Struck said, adding that she feels compassion towards the people setting up camp at the abandoned building.

    Her neighbor Samantha Sampson expressed a similar sentiment.

    “I don’t blame them for trying to find shelter they’re doing what they need to do to survive as people,” Sampson said.

    Austin’s Homeless Strategy Office said staff “and our partners have been regularly conducting outreach in the area,” explaining that includes “services on a voluntary basis” and providing shelter beds when they’re available.

    As for Struck, she hopes more help comes.

     

    So if Mrs. Struck had aerated this asshole, she walks, right?

    People (usually women but sometimes usually young dumb dudes) who have no fucking clue at the gas station.

    You Know how many times I have to ask them to turn off car while filling up?

    I just had to this morning and got SOOOO much attitude and a scoff. But I stood their brow beating them until she did.

    I mean, how clueless do you have to be to think having an ignition source so close to a flammable vapor generating action as well is ok?

    if it was diesel I’d at least somewhat understand while still thinking it’s not a good idea at all. I mean risk and reward and spill and all. But gasoline. Are you kidding me?

    Arggh.

     

    Some years ago I watched a young dumb dude fill up a plastic Big Gulp cup with gas. Chick had to hold the cup while he filled it so it wouldn't tip over and spill. I asked him what the fuck he was doing, and apparently the chick's car had run out gas a few miles down the road. 

    I just shook my head and said "I hope y'all don't die in a fire."
