  1. So what is the TEA's stated rationale for only funding all-remote (which is a temporary measure anyway) at 50%? I get they want schools open but there has to be some reason given beyond just being punitive?? What good is having "independent" school districts with no discretion based on community conditions or ability to access our own tax dollars to fully fund short-term remote learning when covid numbers are skyrocketing? Sorry...I think I know the answer is just "fuck you my freedumb economy eagle flag hurr durr open" etc. but this is madness.
  2. Kimberly used to be very pretty when she was with Newsom. And it's not age.... it's like the ugly in her soul manifesting itself. She had delicate features and now she's coarse and vulgar -- broadened, flat coke nose; inflated lips; cheesy Kardashian-style weave. She looks like what she essentially is now -- a mafia girlfriend. Same with Maria Bartiromo. I know it's not cool to pick apart people's looks, but the transformations are remarkable.
  3. CNN headline: Bidens Visit Graves of Joe's First Wife and Daughter on Anniversary of their Deaths Expect the Tucker Carlson headline: Biden Politicizes Deaths of Family Members in Crass, Ridiculous Photo-Op
  4. And the knock on Dr. Jill is that her degree is not elite ENOUGH to be legit. The irony of the snobbery angle is lost on the "anti-elitists."
  5. So this is what we're gonna do, huh....attack the First Lady before she's even in office when she has quite literally done nothing wrong. I can't recall, did Rachel Maddow or Scarborough call Melania a whore, a gold digger, a bad example for girls, anything that could have been said? All I remember is Melania wearing "I REALLY DON'T CARE DO U" to visit children ripped from their parents and caged by her husband's team of ghouls before most anyone rightly ripped her a new one. The right just loves to destroy and never ever build.... doing something uplifting is for suckers I guess
  6. if the base eventually could conceive of them as D operatives or deep state, in their abject failure, it really would be the greatest grift of all time..and could possibly lead to some losses for the Dems. But, I think we're lucky to be slicing our ass on one end of Occam's Razor due to nutwing incompetence
  7. Yes. And while we laugh at some of the antics, when is this enough?? When do we stop indulging this, and the tacit incitement of violence? All of the country who is not Trump's base has been patiently waiting for any accountability or consequences whatsoever, and apparently there's a belief that any consequences will just goad more craziness and threats of violence, and then actual violence.. But fuck that -- there is either a rule of law or there is none, any longer, for the foreseeable future. These miscreants are going to howl no matter what, it's time for some criminal and civil legal shit to rain down on them.
  8. God Bannon is just a dumb drunk nihilist shitbag. Anyone who ever thought of him as a mastermind vastly overrated his intellect.
  9. what's wrong with Sidney Powell's voice? Is she like 95? Brain worms and malice are a bad combo.
  10. I don't understand -- what's the (stated) need to add instructional time if they go all-remote -- with the hybrid model now, the remote kids don't need to do anything extra. Just seems punitive and sadistic.
  11. Don't think he was really equating the two but maybe it's a Texas thing...... Disclosure: I'm a lawyer, and the state Bar Journal that every single lawyer gets monthly has a section fully outing all the lawyers who've been disciplined up to disbarment, full names and their city. Really, it's the only entertaining thing in there. I also did open records rulings for a while, and the process for doctor discipline w/the board of medical examiners is only marginally less internal and compromised than the cops' process. Hell, we had a doctor here who was either purposely or negligently paralyzing people because he had zero qualifications for the back surgeries he was doing and he was coked up all the time -- and it practically took an act of god to get him to stop. The doctors' lobby in Texas is crazy powerful and they don't just submit to requests for accountability or even continuing education. Things may be different where you practice. Just saying.
  12. wtf happened to Ricky Schroder?? Is he the new Chachi?
  13. This would be fun -- let's poll Republicans and see how many support the plots against Whitmer. Guessing the average self-identified Republican these days would be a razor-thin hair left of Tim McVeigh these days.
  14. Doesn't he believe that aliens built the Egyptian pyramids? I think he has an actual brain malfunction. Physician, heal thyself.
  15. My god. Put the quaaludes down and take a fucking look around.
  16. No one perturbed that the GA secretary of state explicitly said that he's not pleased with the outcome of the presidential vote?? Even if he is committed to not fucking with the vote count, that's a hugely bullshit thing to say to the world, JFC
  17. My first measure of justice is that NY needs to have an indictment drawn up to drop immediately upon his leaving office, and fuck public opinion of that. I doubt they need more info to have probable cause of at least one felony. What do you think are the odds (real question, not being an asshole )?
  18. I've long since given up on any idea that these fucker will face any consequences, much less the actual justice they deserve and the country needs.
  19. 2020 took RBG, it should take Mitch out too for balance Or, I'd be ok with saying take Chuck and Mitch, IDGAF
  20. If it's someone who might not be 100% irredeemable and it's worth trying (like family), I think you have to find a wedge inward that aligns with their values --- or what they claim as their values. For instance, my mom recently was asking about the whole "defund the police" movement (just asking questions!) Well, what's one thing Repubs hate? Unions! So I explained that police unions dictate police force rules so that even the worst cops have no accountability (accountability!), they get a paid vacation with no consequences, and cities continue to bow to the unions who have a stranglehold over city budgets to allow a shockingly high proportion for an accountability-free PD (fiscal responsibility!) And you know what? Her response was something like, "yeah the unions have too much control..." Ungrateful thugs kneeling for the anthem? Me: "Yeah I just wish that wasn't one of the freedoms our vets had fought for" with very serious face (freedom!!) Also, knowing they'd probably voted and would never ever ever consider not voting for every R, I said "hey if you haven't voted yet, please don't vote for this judge (one of my bosses) because he's an activist judge who's a maniac and lacks judicial temperament." I don't think any voter likes to think of themselves as low-info and uninformed, so thought just maybe it'd make her stop and think, and particularly consider how an R could also be an "activist" judge. My dad has fallen into a very deep state of depression and anxiety and no treatment has helped. I mentioned that watching cable news (obv they are Fox-ites) increases anxiety. I didn't attack the content in any way but told her the format of CONSTANTLY BREAKING NEWS! and the graphics, quick edits, and ever-scrolling chyrons are designed to elicit fear and anxiety. And she told me my dad's psychiatrist told them the same thing. Speaking of anxiety, she has freely volunteered to me before that "the older you get, the more you hate change." For those with that mindset, it obviously translates into your political views and voting habits. So fearmongering really works. And attacks, even just calmly stating facts, only cement people's views even when they are dead-cold proven wrong, studies show. So my opinion is you have to slip past the reptilian brain response and sneak around the back by using appeals to their own sense of patriotism and values. And it's much more helpful if they don't know that's what you're doing.
  21. Ok what are the chances that an indictment is drawn up to drop on 1/21/21? Because with regard to NY it motherfucking should be ready unless there's literally no expectation of justice anymore
