    That was some of he loudest thunder I’ve heard in Austin in 20+ years (about 2 a.m. last night).

    All three of my kids slept through it. 

    I slept through it, too.  My son told me about it this morning.  He said it was super close -- I went out to check for downed trees.

  2. If Trump claims under oath he never had sex with either woman, and one or both can prove otherwise, that puts him on the hook for perjury, doesn't it?

    I'm not sure how one would "prove" it without video or maybe a 3rd party witness (a mental image so gross I'm going to go make a Bloody Mary to hopefully wash it out of my brain).

    If this was the obese, pimply assistant salon manager of a Supercuts who looked the other way when the franchiser stole stylists tips and was a party after the fact to using business funds to pay off a harassment victim I don’t see you or anybody else sighing about how young she was or her feelings towards the Trump and inner conflict about her testimony.

    Oddly specific.  (Older daughter used to cut hair at Supercuts.)

    Is it not worth noting that Crow has signed on to a pro-Israel/anti-Palestine statement AND owning Nazi/Hitler art/memorabilia?

    How can someone be pro-Israel AND pro-Hitler?  COME ON!

    Also, did you know Abraham Lincoln was a Republican?

  5. I'm much more of a pop/rock/soul guy than punk, but I sure wish I could have seen some of those seminal Austin bands like The Dicks and The Big Boys.

    Ok. I think Horns saying “this bullshit journalism is bullshit” with respect to one of our own, and a big donor to UT, isn’t weird. I’m not defending his other political activities. I think it’s “weird” that we wouldn’t call out BS journalism when we see it, but perhaps this forum isn’t as open minded as it purports. 

    In my world, criticism of "bullshit journalism" would have no concern for "one of our own" and money donated, but shockingly, you feel differently.  Everything is for sale with you guys.

    JP Staples. Looks like his social media is wiped but apparently from DFW

    The number of lower-performing racist Texans migrating to easy SEC schools is well known and sad.  Mostly because the schools are sad.

  8. Yeah, phrasing?

    I'd put Sturgill and Caamp on my "see" list.  The rest of the lineup is going to have to get me there, though.  I'm too old for this shit.

    You will tear your hair out at the thought of a MAGA letting him go, but would rightfully cheer if a single juror stopped some racist unfair conviction against a black man in some Podunk rural County railroad trial.  You cannot have one without the other.

    I am but a simple layman, but the thought of any juror who has a personal agenda they will act on in deliberations getting through voir dire makes my blood boil.  I know it happens, though.

    Hate speech isn’t illegal and never should be.  Let the idiots spew their hate. And shun them accordingly.  

    That's not exactly true.  Targeted threats of violence can be prosecuted.  This is what I'm referring to.

    Seems like all these pitmasters who want to expand would actually save money by paying someone who knows how to run a restaurant to actually, you know, run their restaurant.

    At least find someone who knows how to source pickles.

    You missed the part where I specifically limited my comment to people exhibiting hate or lawlessness. Unless you are OK with the public assembling on campus to engage in illegal conduct or to say hateful things to or about minority groups.

    The "outside group" delineation is what bothers me.  Hate speech and lawlessness should not be tolerated on campus, period.  The affiliated status of those protesting (hateful or not) matters not one fucking whit, but here we go, it's code for "furriners".

    well, you are right to do so. We should not tolerate hate and lawlessness on campus by anyone, and certainly not by outside forces who are bringing their political agendas onto our campus.

    Well, except for that detail that the public can legally gather on campus.
