  1. Yup, I did that this morning.
  2. Pull your head out of your ass. Just because you don't hear about 1/6 in your Echo Chamber of Bullshit doesn't mean "Nobody gives a fuck." This board is full of former self-identifying Republicans who don't mainline Fox News and know that the GOP has gone completely off the rails and 1/6 is a big fucking shit stain on our democracy. I have run into quite a few people like @Porterhouse in my professional circle who know that the GOP is an embarrassment, 1/6 was a BFD, Trump is a buffoon, etc. but still vote only in their financial interest. They can't bring themselves to support candidates who might raise their taxes or be hostile to the industry that butters their bread. It's shameful, but it's better than dullards like Struggle who don't see the problem with a little lite treason out of their party leaders if it means they can maintain their grip on power. Baby steps, amirite?
  3. Fucking this. Confirmation hearings are a thing of the past if you don't feel like fucking with it and/or are in a pinch and need a real boot licker in an important post. The mango mussolini out front shoulda told ya.
  4. Yea, this. The echo chamber of bullshit won't even mention this magical gap in POTUS' phone logs on 1/6.
  5. So Antifa was violently attacking the capital and our brave CIC didn't make one phone call!? No conversation with his cabinet, the DC guard, no one to do everything he could to stop the mayhem being carried out by those hooded, soy boy, Antifa fucksticks!? Man, what a fucking crock of shit.
  6. "unclear who had targeted the group" -Yea, it's a real fucking head scratcher idnnit!?
  7. TLRY up 23% on the day, I'm still down 63% in my position. CLVR up 143% on the day, I'm still down 71%. I may have entered these positions a little too soon and then didn't DCA.
  8. What in the actual fuck man!? Blue helmets are where you draw the line? Not the slaughtering of women and children all over Ukraine that there is ample evidence of already? I understand the overall argument you are trying to make here, but you're flailing wildly now.
  9. That was my thought too - homeboy won't even sit close to his closest advisers at a table but is going to come out of the bunker and travel to the G20? It's horseshit that he's invited, but I don't think that bunker bitch has the stones to travel right now.
  10. This would echo what I've heard from my clients. It's not their inability to get permits or any regulatory pressures, it's that the people controlling the purse strings don't want them to drastically ramp up. I don't see how they could say that increased activity is "not dependent on price" though. Everyone has a number where the upside would be too much to ignore. Or maybe it's a sustained $100/bbl pricing, but someone is going to make that money.
  11. I think you might be better served shooting yourself with a .22 rimfire rather than the polar bear.
  12. #ETTD - Everything Trump Touches Dies. Sorry boutcha Mo
  13. We were just outside the cone on the latest track. Getting bands of pissing rain but no hail that I can hear. The poor folks in Alto may have taken another hit tonight.
  14. I think north of Lovelady. It’s headed to Latexo/Grapeland right now.
  15. Tornado on the ground just outside Crockett. This sucker is going to come pretty close to us. It should miss me slightly to the north, but I’m watching close and will wake up the kids and head to a closet in an hour or so if need be.
  16. Yup. My local east Texas station had been focused on the stuff headed towards Tyler but has picked up the Madisonville cell and is watching it now too.
  17. That college station cell looks like it’s on a line straight towards me now. Hopefully it peters out a bit over the next hour or so.
  18. I'm between Lufkin and Nac and we're getting the lube ready over here too.
  19. Fart in a tornado.
  20. Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad about yourself.
  21. I just sent him a contribution. Thank you for sharing.
  22. I've spent a fair amount of time in Midland and had companies from there on each side of my descriptions in mind. One of them might be the sneakiest big private company I've come across in my years of being an insurance puke. We started talking about their assets and insurance budget and I was gobsmaked as I looked around at an office that could have easily come out of the 1980's USSR. They owned and operated all kinds of highly profitable (but def not shiny) assets/companies, pretty sure it was worth well over $1bn. Just the nicest folks ever and probably worth god knows how many millions. I guess I should clarify that the companies with the opulent office space I had in mind were all doing it with someone else's money. I don't know if the bourbon bar boys are splashing around their own money or PE money, but it seems like it's usually not their own when they do that and end up shitting the bed. When your E&P company's Inuit art collection is worth more than your E&P assets at liquidation, you've royally fucked up. And I love Crested Butte. My boss has a place there and it's one of my favorite places on earth.
  23. I think I probably know who you are talking about, and yes, there are outliers who get bailed out by being on the right side of the commodity swings by no fault of their own... (Not saying that's the only reason this dude was able to sell for $2B) I have a client that set a bunch of PE money on fire by building out an office compound in bumfuck OK and the mgmt team probably should have been put out to pasture as a result. They are now a moderately successful public company with pretty marginal assets just by being on the right side of a commodity price swing this time around. I know a little about the CEO's spending habits by what we are asked to insure, and he seems like a guy that has made a shitload of money in his career but has spent even more. I'd much rather invest my money with the guys that keep meager space out in the suburbs somewhere and are drilling high margin wells in places off the beaten path a bit. Or at least it was off the beaten path when they acquired it...
