     There needs to be a lawsuit over those spinny wheel Hart eSlate machines. This is 2018. There should be no need for a  (and I'm quoting from the Texas Secretary of State's guidance to voters and election officials voter to "wait at least 3-5 seconds for all choices to be rendered on the eSlate voting machines. Counties in which voters have longer ballots may require additional time to allow the screens to load fully." That's kind of bullshit. My phone would be faster. How on earth are these machines so bad? The only time I have to deal with them is when we do ISD voting. My county thankfully has touch screen which doesn't require you to slow down to a snail's pace so it doesn't fuck up your vote.

    I hope after this election the Texas SoS requires every county to move to something a little more modern and not built on 1960's technology.

    If I can submit my taxes, manage all of my finances, and basically conduct every piece of business in the modern world online, I should be able to cast my vote electronically as well.

  2. Well than at least get your facts on the context straight.  Brisket isn't Jewish. His ethnic group was not just targeted in a mass shooting on that day. He was doing his standard bit, amping the rhetoric on the board up, expressing his wish that some random poster on the internet that he took offense with would get the chance to watch the life taken from the eyes of their family while they bled out on the floor. Now I don't really give a fuck one way or the other.  But everybody needs to stop whining and acting like pussies.

    The child tax credit is not assistance. It's a credit, like many other credits or deductions.

    I don't even know what y'all are arguing. Doesn't matter.

    And it phased out starting at 110k married.  Or use to. This year it starts to phase at 400k joint.

    So the prosecutors even said the dude was a dick and didn’t deserve a deal. There are really no legitimate mitigating factors here that justify commuting his sentence other than the obvious non-legit factor that the dude is white in a very brown and black criminal justice system.

    If I recall correctly the father, who he attempted to murder, was quite adamant about not killing his son, the sole remaining member of his family. They might have had something to do with it. 

  5. Figures a better place than the gambling board.  Let's see how much "easy" money with can identify.

    I am on the following positions:

    Who will control House after 2018?  Currently Dem YES @ 0.69 and GOP NO @ 0.65.  I say back the truck up on both.

    Balance of power in Congress after midterms.  I am playing NO on GOP HOUSE/GOP SENATE.  Currently trading @ 0.65.

    Will Manchin be re-elected? Currently YES @ 0.77.

    And a stretch, but I think that the odds are worth it. Will Ted Cruz be elected? No @ 0.23.  Will look to exit if there is any bump based on early returns.

    Trump impeachment in first terms. YES @ 0.41.  Think this bumps after the Dems take the house and/or when the Mueller report is issued.

     

    Any other plays for today/tomorrow?  Obviously I am hosed if the Dem's don't take the House, but I don't see that happening.

    He was using hyperbolic rhetoric. Calm down Huck. 

    No he wasn't, he was attempting the tried and true tactic of deflecting from real complaints by falsely stating that the same complaint is made toward everyone.

    You are wound up pretty tight this morning man. I read it as a snarky intro to an otherwise responsive post to Roma. But whatever.
