    In.  Will see y'all there.

    Sorry guys.  Brisket and his wife are going to the game with us, and I tried to spare you all and dissuade him from attending the tailgate.  I'll get him to ease up on discussions of the impending doom of American democracy, and focus more on the impending doom of the Longhorn football program.

    If you picked up the Founding Fathers in a time machine and brought them to present day, it would take about 5 minutes of deliberation for them to tar & feather and string up Trump. 

    Sure.  But they'd also look around and ask, "Why do so many black people own homes, have jobs, and vote?"

    You should be pretty close.  I mean, we literally learned last week that Trump, too, consumes dicks.

    It is yet undetermined the quantity of bags consumed.  And we know Trump hates Jesus.  But does he also hate puppies?  I have yet to see confirmed evidence of this.  Yes, I know he appointed Kristi Noem, but there's plausible deniability that he had prior knowledge she's a dog killer.

    This motherfucker is the worst human being this country has ever produced, and yes, I'm aware that's saying something.  I mean, the USA produced Bob Stoops.

    If you're arguing that Donald Trump is worse than Bob Stoops, I'm just not there yet.

  5. So on the subject of potential scrubbing/destruction of Epstein files to remove Trump’s name:

    Presumably a Democratic administration DOJ has access to these same files at some point during the Biden presidency. If Trump’s name is in the files, but his name shows up nowhere in the released files, wouldn’t some Biden-era DOJ lawyer or investigator blab to the press that Trump in fact is in the files?

    Mark Epstein: You know, they used to fly in each other's planes. Like I said, you know, they say Donald was on Jeff's plane like seven times, but I questioned, have they checked Donald's flight logs from those days to see how many times Jeffrey was on his plane? Because I know Jeffrey told me on a number of occasions that he flew up or flew down with Donald on his plane.

    It would be pretty funny if it happened the moment before the Aggies made the playoff

    Good shit.

    https://www.texastribune.org/2025/11/18/texas-redistricting-ruling-lawsuit-el-paso-court-2026-midterms/

    “The public perception of this case is that it’s about politics,” U.S. Judge Jeffrey Brown, a Trump appointee, wrote in the ruling striking down the new lines. “To be sure, politics played a role in drawing the 2025 Map. But it was much more than just politics. Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map.”

    Yeah, it might not survive SCOTUS, but they'd have to rule by December 8, when candidates have to register.  And they can't just do it on the shadow docket, I don't believe.

    Really good shit.  I didn't know much of Jeff Brown when he was at the Texas Supreme Court except for running into him at social functions, and he was a nice enough guy.  Like all the judges who run for or are appointed to that high court, he seemed like a political creature as much as the next Texas Republican.  But I never got a huge MAGA vibe from him.  I'm guessing Trump, who appointed him to the federal bench, will write a scathing middle-of-the-night all-caps tweet attacking him as "the worst judge."

    Hey can you recipe this please? I get the gist, but I'd like some pointers on temperature, time, etc. Thank you.

    Here's the basics for 4 thighs (I doubled):

    Start with making a paste on a large sheetpan that includes peeled rinds from two lemons (reserving juice from the lemons), 1 tbsp. salt, 8 smashed garlic cloves, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1.5 tbsp oregano, 1.5 tbsp coriander, and 1 tsp crushed red pepper.  Toss with chicken thighs and 1.5 lbs fingerling potatoes sliced lengthwise.  Arrange in a single layer, chicken side up, and roast on 400 for 50-60 minutes until chicken skin is crisp and golden brown.  After removing from oven, put chicken and potatoes on serving platter.  Pour reserved juice from the two lemons onto sheet pan, stirring with a spatula to scrape up the brown bits, and then pour it all over the chicken and potatoes.  Sprinkle feta and parsley on top.

    Well, my son got his first acceptance letter today to Western Carolina.  We really enjoyed our visit there and the school seems like which a really good fit for him.  What a relief.  

    I have no problems visiting Asheville to go visit him if he goes.  

    Has he also looked at Appalachian State?  I have no idea how those schools compare other than geographical setting.  But one of my best high school friends went there and loved it.
