    Last week I went to a Mexican restaurant. My wife was like/ this queso is bland. She immediately sprinkled salt and salsa into it and stirred it in. I told her about yall and she said “they sound like lunatics. Also what the fuck would be wrong with making something bland not taste bland”. I shrugged. She said/ those are probably the same fuckers that claim brisket can’t be made in an oven. I said- yep- lot of overlap in that Venn diagram of douchebaggery. 

    How’s she feel about kolaches?

    I suspect someone from Cornyn's camp showed her some bad general election polling and she realized she didn't want to risk being married to a guy who might lose a statewide race to a Democrat.

    Is he really polling badly here?  In Texas?  I have heard Ronny Jackson say that, but he's delulu.

    Ain’t no fuckin way Paxton would lose a general statewide. He smoked a young Latina from Brownsville in 22 by 10 pts.

    Bro, all of this will be in logs, timestamps, texts, emails, warning notifications, dispatches, radio (audio recordings), voting records, minutes, etc…. They couldn’t hide from it if they tried. 
     

    Trying to get these answers, as DDD Dad put it, “to keep this from reoccurring again” by asking these things in a press conference during the emergency response is not your answer.  

    Bro, but bro! Those texts and emails are exactly what the Supreme Court blocked from release in the Uvalde case. 
     

    Starting to think you have some LEO dna running through your veins.

    My take is cynical but warranted.  Uvalde was just a few years ago and I'm still waiting on real consequences for our DPS heroes who stood outside in violation of their training and policy while that dude massacred a bunch of kids.

    Shit man, not even consequences at this point, just a release of the full reports/investigation which TexasOurTexas has blocked and the state Supreme Court backed.

    Is it fair? Fuck yeah it’s fair. Who is saying no one wants to get to the bottom of this?

    Do you think 6 days after, while a significant amount of people are still missing, is the best time to get these answers?  So “we might learn how to avoid a similar recurrence”? Right now? 

    You want the camps and local authorities to drop what they are doing in recover/rescue, letting families in to get belongings, dealing with 1 million arrangements I can’t even imagine? Or, would you rather them respond to interrogatories, discovery requests, depositions, etc…. RIGHT NOW?  You honestly believe RIGHT NOW is a good time to interview the 18 year old counselor or the 10 year old camper on the events that happened that night? Or the wife of the camp director who died in the flood? Today?
     

    Tweety, the is DDD Dad,  I am really needing to know how to prevent this from happening again. I know your camp is fucked to hell and you had 27 kids die over the weekend, oh and your husband is dead, but I need this information TODAY!!!  

    It matters partly bc we all know damn well months later when asked hard questions what they were doing at x time they’ll bullshit “I don’t recall”

    Feedback from Reddit seems very positive. Graphics, gameplay, menu, etc. all noticeably improved. Dynamic lighting in the game - meaning lighting and shadows change as the game progresses (ie. game starting at 6 pm won't finish in daylight 4 hours later.)

    Recruiting and portal have also received an overhaul. 

    Just wait 72 hours and the world will be on fire

  7. Ain’t an ounce of meaningful shit gonna result from all this in regards to the powers running the state. These same impacted rich folks also went a week without power and water in some cases with winter storm… not dick happened.

    But isn't that part of the Great we are in such a hurry to recapture?  

    I'm still on this bandwagon.  While NWS is at fault, they don't have near the responsiblity in all this that the county does.  I am betting there will be lawsuits that flesh that out.  Unfortunately so many of these officials are protected from personal loss due to tort reform, leaving them with something akin to qualified immunity.  While it was put into place to protect sincere good samaritans, it's been bastardized to protect those who make shitty decisions about service to people based on re-election bids. 

    I live in a community that used to have a wide variety of amenities and services.  Over the past two decades I have watched the bulk of those disappear.  The move was to first underfund the amenities and let them fall into such disrepair people could not use them.  Next obvious step was to do away with them all together, because no one is using them anymore, right?    And in doing so they could keep their maintenance fees low and everything went into the golf course and landing strip.    We have seen the same thing in our state govt.  And trump is doing the same with his dumbass DOGE stuff.  Musk is gone, but you don't see Trump scrambling to repair all the damage he did.  Nope. And too many sit there and cheer this on.   They have made the taxpayers of Kerrville or wherever seem like logical people when they refuse to pay for things of public safety.   

    What they don't see is how many of their businesses rely on the tourist/camp visitors who will now be gunshy about coming to their county and choose to spend that money in a place that doesn't have such a deadly reputation.    

    But in the end, those county commissioners are at fault here.  They should have done better.  

     

    It's part of your energy bill every month.  I know mine is at least $50 more every month than before.  

     

    Something else I bet happens.  Trump miraculously finds some FEMA money for Texas, due to the fact that if Texas goes blue, so does the rest of the country, electorally.  No FEMA for this will be huge...and we haven't even gotten into hurricane season properly yet. 

    Trump could fly down Friday, take a piss in the Guad on live tv, put up two stubby middle fingers and fly back to dc… and he’d still take Tx by 10 pts in ‘28 as a write in.
