  1. Who makes the call on how much gets to each place? DSHS? Does Abbott have say? Obv. DSHS is based in Austin...some motherfucker w/authorization (or not) needs to get in there and adjust numbers so we're not languishing here forever.
  2. Can we call a moratorium on use of the term "gal?" Also, if we're already making requests, how about "hubby" goes away for a while.
  3. I mean more in the legal sense..for example, fleeing from a crime scene can be introduced as evidence that you know you're guilty. She isn't crazy enough not to realize right from wrong. She knows this shit is coming down on her so she scrubs it. Shows that on some level, she knows better and is just fucking evil rather than completely out of her mind.
  4. What it shows is consciousness of guilt.
  5. some oblivious motherfuckers on here.... everything that was once made from plant or animal material can go in. Even greasy pizza boxes. Food waste, etc. It goes to an actual commercial-grade composting site. Cuts down on landfill waste and makes......compost! But do not put poop in it -- yours or anyone else's. It poo-lutes.
  6. How very OANny. Why does Bartiromo always look like she just got done sticking her face in an ant pile or losing a hot pepper-eating contest?
  7. Anastasis makes threads unreadable and it's fucking tiresome ... puts his predictable take out but can never, ever let it rest...literally has to respond to every fucking single post that doesn't validate his stance. Ignore finger getting real itchy...
  8. "Standing Up for What's Right." Cool slogan. It'll do nicely for the next R nominee. Much better than MAGA, it's SUWR
  9. Wholeheartedly agree with all that's been covered. I'd add the fact that absolutely nothing came of Trump's utter indifference to the Russians putting bounties on our soldiers.
  10. well shit. My old-ass parents, who live in Collin County got an appt. at Fair Park for Monday. I haven't seen them for more than a year now. They going to pull the rug out, or is this just for scheduling going forwards? (my dad is old AND super high-risk due to no fault of his own...incurable lung condition with no known origin)
  11. Abbott is fucking worthless and as far as malice, he's on a Trump level. Not as stupid, so worse in a way. Fuck him and his playing favorites at the expense of (Dem) cities.
  12. Are you me? Except I was 4 when G. Shepherd bit me. Love me some doggos
  13. I just remembered, she married a Chinese guy and yep, his family looked down on her as the Chinese generally do....she was unhappy about her married name because it translated into Vietnamese as "cattle grass."
  14. My adorably tiny and pretty former hairdresser who is Vietnamese used to call me sometimes just to talk. Kinda weird, I know. Gen X, she came over on a boat as a kid and had originally been settled in Plainview. Yikes. Anyway, out of the blue one day, she started spouting off all this utterly hateful bile about black people, used the n-word, the whole 9 yards. I was like "um....gotta go!" and wonder if she ever figured out why I never answered her calls again. /CSS
  15. not embedding but the Twitter reply from "Rand Paul's Neighbor" to the bison boy refusing to eat cuz not organic- Don't Commit Sedition if You Hate Jailhouse Nutrition
  16. I wonder if the officer was referring to the MAGA agitators or if there was other context .... for instance, disagree but respect the outcome of the election... maybe possibly...ah who am I kidding.... Several officers of color here. That shit blows me away. And I know that disparate force against minorities goes on regardless of having minority officers. But it don't make no sense!
  17. Indeed. And very Morisettian that the very first thing in his twitter bio is "Constitutional Lawyer."
  18. Back the Blue (so long as they are making the blacks blue)
  19. BOO this. I'd totally sleep with Ian Astbury (in his prime)....woudn't touch Kim with your dick
  20. "responsibility has been pushed" --- passive voice. I want to fucking know where our state leadership is. What the fuck does Abbot even do? It appears he hasn't given any update on the vaccine or its distribution since almost 2 weeks ago. State elected officials are committing malfeasance and neglect, standing by (or not) idly, basically just being twitter trolls and trying to undo local health measures. How the fuck do people vote for this shit? And-- want to know how I know we're really fucked? A large portion of the residents in this state are gunning for Abbott because he somehow did too much against freedumb (and even then he reversed himself). Oh and he claims he's gonna get it spent but he still has $2-3 BILLION of Cares money that the state has to spend, and is lobbying for a deadline extension. You know how these funds could be spent? Directing and providing resources for the vaccine distribution, which you had months to consider. The fuck is going on with this shithead apart from proving the bullshit R mantra -- that government is incompetent-- by shirking the most basic, constitutional charge of the office -- to care for the health and welfare of the state's citizens? Easiest, griftiest gig in the fucking world. Feeling SALTY
  21. Is it pronounced "Lean"? No? Then they can fuck off with that
  22. what kind of stupid fucking name is LIN anyway?
  23. NSIAP Abbott Teams up with Covid Against Austin https://www.texastribune.org/2020/12/30/texas-greg-abbott-austin-new-years/ Greg Abbott says Austin can't ban late on-site dining for New Year's weekend as COVID-19 surge continues Mayor Steve Adler said the severity of the COVID-19 situation in Austin requires more drastic measures. El Paso County announced a similar order earlier this month. BY JUAN PABLO GARNHAM DEC. 30, 2020UPDATED: 2:38 PM COPY LINK REPUBLISH With COVID-19 cases surging, Austin's mayor announced a ban on restaurants and bars serving customers on site during late night and early morning hours throughout the New Year's weekend, but Gov. Greg Abbott quickly attacked the move and said the city isn't authorized to exceed his statewide restrictions. According to the city’s order, dine-in food and beverage service will be restricted both indoors and outdoors from 10:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. starting Thursday and ending at 6 a.m. Sunday. Those businesses can continue to offer drive-thru, curbside pick-up, take out, or delivery services. “We are now facing our most dangerous surge,” Austin Mayor Steve Adler said during a Wednesday press conference. “We could be facing something more severe and more extreme than what we have seen in the past. I want to make real clear that this is not about government and this is not about politics.” Abbott tweeted on Tuesday that Adler doesn't have authority to issue such a local order. “My executive order stops cities like Austin from arbitrarily shutting down businesses,” he said. “The city has a responsibility to enforce existing orders, not make new ones.” But the governor has remained silent about similar orders in El Paso County that covered the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's holidays. The governor's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Texas Tribune. On Wednesday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter to both Adler and Travis County Judge Andy Brown that said Austin's order was "unlawful and unenforceable" and threatened legal action if they don't "immediately rescind or, at a minimum, modify your orders" so they comply with the state's regulations. Austin’s order, which carries a maximum fine of $1,000 for violators but no jail time, does not violate the state’s regulation because it’s “just an operational constraint,” Adler said, adding that “the reason that we are doing this is because it focuses on the activity where people are together without wearing masks.” During his press conference, Adler encouraged Austinites to support restaurants through delivery and take out and “tip and overtip, because these people and these businesses are taking a severe and significant financial hit for the greater good, and we as a community can help mitigate that.” Austin and Travis County officials warned that the area has seen a troubling rise in COVID-19 cases and they are worried about hospital capacity. In the last month, the county's positivity rate — the percentage of tests that come back positive for COVID-19 — and ICU bed usage have almost doubled. New daily cases have more than quadrupled in the same period, according to the county's COVID-19 dashboards. “Today in Texas, COVID-19 represents one in five of every person hospitalized,” said Mark Escott, interim health authority and public health medical director for the City of Austin and Travis County. “The policies that we’ve had have not worked to curb the spread of the disease … Now it’s the time to reconsider those decisions so that we can protect Texas.” On Twitter, the Texas Restaurant Association called on Austin businesses to follow Abbott’s guidance and said that “a curfew is not allowed.” “Restaurants are deeply invested within their communities, and so they continue to do all they can to prevent the spread of COVID-19, often at tremendous cost,” the organization's tweet said. “Closing indoor dining will not prevent holiday celebrations; it will simply move them from highly regulated businesses into completely unregulated spaces at a critical time in our COVID-19 response.” Last month, El Paso County Judge Ricardo Samaniego announced a similar curfewfor Thanksgiving as COVID-19 cases increased in the border county. And earlier this month, Samaniego issued a similar measure for Christmas and New Year's celebrations. The county has banned all social activities — including restaurant dine-in services — from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. between Dec. 30 and Jan. 4 but allows take out and drive thru service. After he issued the Thanksgiving order, Samaniego said that he did so after what he said was a “favorable” discussion with Abbott’s office and a representative from the Texas Attorney General’s office. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned Americans to avoid crowds and poorly ventilated indoor spaces and recommended that people stay at home for New Year's Eve or celebrate virtually.
  24. Ted Cruz's existence on this planet seems a little excessive
