  1. but she has zero power. even admitting that she's open to crypto ideas is a big step
  2. More safeguards and regulation is good for crypto no matter what the crypto-anarchists thinks. The real key is to allow and assist institutional banks as custodians of crypto which will allow people to own crypto with much less risk. People should still be allowed to self-custody but don't create barriers to casual ownership. (I know the Jamie Dimons of the world may say they don't want to be custodians for fake assets but banks will always go to the money.) Also people need to be told the truth of what they're buying. I've run into more than 1 person who says they're in Bitcoin because they bought a meme token. No, you bought some magic beans from a stranger. When the Dave Ramsey show (maybe not him personally) are softly saying they're ok with minor crypto speculation, this industry isn't going anywhere.
  3. Doesn't Texas tort reform limit the camp(s) liability? Also the Texas Monthly article from 10+ years was very clear how they structured ownership to protect against taxes, I would have to assume that there was an unspoken aspect of liability protection as well. You can't tell me that they want to protect annual revenue from fed taxes but they didn't go even further to protect the main asset which was the property value?
  4. Each cycle is unique especially now that ETFs are in place and you have a crypto-friendly administration even though they're unpredictable. I don't buy when someone attempts to model the current cycle by reviewing previous history.
  5. Whether Kerr County puts in a warning system/process now, that's just some version of how much of an idiot they are all. I'm more interested in other communities around the state whether they will review and update their flood warning systems or not. Most Texas places, especially on the eastern half may not have the extreme flash flooding potential but it doesn't mean they can't flood.
  6. Try the McWilliams years. Mackovic looks like Saban. EDIT: Already posted. Delete post, ban user.
  7. I can only imagine that Kash and Bongino are unlikely to be putting in more than 2 hours of daily real work between them both. It's easy to criticize from the sidelines. Not so much when you're in charge. I've always thought that running the FBI would be a 20 hour per day role. Maybe you can get Sunday afternoon off.
  8. Love it that we basically have the deputy director of the FBI (Bongino) saying that it's either him or the AG, Pam Bondi, due to the Epstein files. And JD is trying to bring Bongino back into the fold.
  9. I haven't watched full episodes in forever but I could watch Youtube compilations like the "Best of Jian Yang" all day. I also thought they did a pretty good finale showing where the group ended up 10 years later, which was still as dysfunctional as ever. Silicon Valley was so much better than Entourage.
  10. This is why they need Choke Canyon to have more water, and convince farmers and residents that filtered fracking water is perfectly healthy.
  11. SIAP. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/14/us/politics/texas-floods-greg-abbott-stoicism.html I'll let Earl speak for me any day.
  12. the dog caught the car, and now MAGA leaders are having to tell the truth to the conspiracy crowd. I never bought the idea that there is this client or blackmail list. Now did Epstein blackmail someone or more likely gave an implication of it? Maybe but it's unlikely there is a file called Blackmail list.
  13. Bots have been posting this about many rich or famous people. If you see these posts, the funeral costs have now been covered 100x. If you see someone posting this, you really should unfriend that person or at least unfollow so you don't have to see their bs. What really sucks is that Google crawls publicly facing facebook posts, so people can google it as a "fact check" and they believe Google has fact checked in the search results. They haven't.
  14. Sounds like an answer that a junior PR person got from ChatGPT. There is no politician that would reply that disclosure would be embarrassing.
  15. My bet is Abbott has been promising Musk the world in order for SpaceX to be the first company in the future Texas stock market. This includes looking the other way about any environment concerns and draining South Texas of even more water for his lithium plant in Robstown (Corpus.) This last topic is one that is woefully ignored by the general media. I would imagine that the emails are very direct in Abbott selling Texas out. And I'm not even considering how Abbott himself could be potentially benefiting from these arrangements.
