    Looks like he has a master's degree from lsu.  Is that like a 9th or 10th grade education in most other states?  

    He hasn't finished it.  He's citing it, but lists the years as 2018-2020.

    I see this shit all the time on linkedin.  Actual resumes tend not to be so bullshitty.

  2. 360/2222 is open.  If you call them, they'll tell you Bee Caves is open.  I'm not sure the left hand knows what the right hand is doing.

    But it’s not about AR15’s.  It’s about “guns”. Horncyclist made this clear upthread.  I figure you would understand this. I personally dgaf about an AR, would have been detrimental to me getting my teal this AM anyhow.  

    Compromise now or get run over later.  I believe a large majority of those who want to see the AR-15 and similar weapons taken off the market have no concern with most rifles, shotguns, and for the most part handguns.  The more the gun nuts dig in, the more aggressive and less compromising the other side will get.  It's human nature.

    I’d argue 25% is still a shockingly high number given all that trump has been doing.  

    Well, if that's the standard, 1% is a shockingly high number.  In this case, a fair amount of Latino voters can't get past the single issue of abortion; hence, they vote (R), even though Republican policy actually leads to higher abortion rates.  (Hurray for the law of unintended consequences.)

  5. This is the same bullshit as "there are a whole lot more Latino Republicans than you think".  And then they go ~ 75D/25R in almost every election.

    Numbers, how do they work?

    I am not justifying anything. I am pointing out that it seems a bit ludicrous to hang up on a narcissist dropping a verse about his favorite dictator while we literally send hundreds of millions of dollars of arms to that dictator without batting an eye.  

    It's almost as if you think people believe that specific phrase stands alone as a complete indictment of his whole Presidency, like "57 states".

    You can fuss and primp and do your thing over people calling out the narcissistic egomaniac in the Oval Office as if they're muting or missing the problem, or somehow think his word salad IS the problem, but that's completely missing the point.  Yeah, I hate the man.   Yeah, I think "fool" and "malicious" don't even begin to describe him.  I believe he is actively destroying our republic, and while it may be signs of PTSD to point out the daily malignancies it doesn't mean that they're innocuous.  They are signs of something FAR worse than we have ever seen at the top of our government from day one (1789), and if you disagree (and you clearly do, in scale if not in absolute terms), then you're the fool.

    I would suggest that the #bothsides sidebar originated with another poster, which is what I was responding to. I am just pointing out that indeed our relationship with dictators, where is really matters, i.e. giving them military implements and straight cash homey, doesn't really provide much traction for differentiation between sides.   

    Sure it does, if your world view isn't simplistic binary bullshit.

  8. Edit:  fuck it, I can't get it to embed but the chart is for a different measurement point (VAV B108_1) than the spreadsheet data shown in the tweet (VAV B108_2).  See tweet responses where the dude is crowing about the data not matching.  Well, of course they don't, Cletus.  They're different data.

    This man has autism.  Making fun of him for his eccentric behavior is a rather despicable form of ableism.  

    He claims Asperger's, which typically implies a fairly high-functioning individual.  He does have JC, BA and law degrees from 3 shitty institutions, though, so he's probably not real high on the IQ scale, regardless of his position on the autism spectrum.

    BUT . . . people aren't making fun of him for his behavior.  They're condemning his actions, which are inappropriate for a Representative, or an attorney.  That said, you knew this, you're just a pissant little troll.

    Racists if you do, racists if you don't. 

     

    Yeah, why are you scared of people screaming in your face? Seems you should arm up if you're so scared of it? 

    Were you born this way?

  11. Please, if there is a God in heaven, let the Trumpkins destroy any LED/CFL bulbs they have in their house and replace them all with incandescent bulbs just to own the libruls.  More power consumed by the bulbs, more heat dissipated into the house, higher air conditioning bills (I'm talking to you Ed Orgeron).

  12. That's a great story -- boating with Eddie Money.

    Somehow I managed to post on the Daily Texan version of this thread (meaning "somehow there's a Daily Texan version of this thread"):

    Dude could write some catchy songs.  I saw him several times, always attached to an artist I actually wanted to see.  His performances were . . . variable.  At his best he was hugely entertaining.  RIP Eddie.
