  1. I've been wondering what their deal will be. I presume it is something like Highball and Alamo when they redid the Alamo S. Lamar center - have to shut down then reopen in a new and improved facility. But maybe they'll just be allowed to stay there? The Park was doing just fine, but when the lease was up they were out.
  2. I mean, this dude seems sincere enough - and he's right: sitting on the sidelines is not enough. It's the pitch I give my dad who says "I won't vote for Trump or Biden." If you are lifelong GOP (my dad says he's a "Jack Kemp Republican," whatever the fuck that means), and you hate what Trump did to your party, then the only fix, and it may be too late, but it's the only one, is to vote for Biden and against every Maga on the ballot so there are massive defeats up and down the ballot across the country from the municipal level up to the presidency. Sitting on the sidelines just enables Trump if he wins, and even if he loses, it allows the party you grew up with to winnow away at the hands of the Paxtons, Mike Johnsons, and Ravaswamis of the world. Who am I kidding, it's too late.
  3. Is he talking about his lawyers, the thugs, that could have called some witnesses? Jesus, Donald. They probably could have called Eric, Don Jr, and Laura Trump, too (not sure Ivanka would vouch for you). Why weren't they called? Huh? And who is he talking about at the end.
  4. Sorry... wasn't clear. We are in agreement. My point is it wasn't just the black turnout that won Georgia for Biden. In fact, I'd suggest it was secondary to Biden winning the Atlanta suburbs.
  5. Yeah..... Biden outpaced expectations in the counties surrounding Fulton. The suburban college educated apathetic citizen that Trump woke up with his incompetence first term needs to be reminded why they bothered voting for the first time in a decade in 2020.
  6. So you saw the last episode of A Man in Full?
  7. I think it may get some apathetics off the couch though. There is a massive group of people that just don’t care - they believe their lives are same regardless who wins - and just take for granted our system will handle Trump if he exceeds power. Not trying to change Trump voters minds. They are beyond lost.
  8. Can someone please put him on the record with this question? While we shouldn't beat around the bush and just ask him straight out "If you win, you know you have to leave office when your term is up in 2029, right?" I'd settle with someone coming at it obliquely with something like -- "if you win, after your term is up in 2028, do you have a list of people that you'd like to see win the republican nomination and be president after you?" Although if the dictatorship on day one comment can't get traction, I presume this can't either.
  9. While I don't doubt there may be some of that, I presume she has a bunch of MAGA law clerks that can provide plenty of ammunition for her. My guess is most of them are way smarter than her.
  10. That’s my new go to for cartoonishly faux-alpha MAGAs: ”[x] is the type of guy that takes a picture with his server at Hooters.”
  11. That’s not going to work either. Everyone other than rounding error that has decided to vote for Trump is going to vote for him no matter what. He isn’t losing voters. Everything is about turnout. Plain and simple. And it’s going to require constant reminders of the shitshow between 2017 and 2021 combined with testing the apathetics’ “don’t give a shit, nothing matters anyway” defenses with things like loss of reproductive rights, fasicism and Christian nationalism, and revenge politics. The people that don’t think it matters whether Trump or Biden are president are the ones to target. And they have different triggers. Keep trying to trigger them into saving the union.
  12. Bumped. We are switching it up this summer and going to Park City instead of Vail. We have driven to Vail from Austin the last three years. Has worked out great. The drive to Park City looks challenging in two days. I’d do it no problem just me. But unless we do it in 3 days and go through Colorado, most of that drive from Albuquerque to Park City looks fucking desolate. Worried about everything one worries about with two kids that need to hit the head every two hours and an anxious wife who has seen too many “breakdown” movies. This isn’t really us being cheap more than we like to bring a lot of stuff with us when we go - bikes, fishing poles, etc. And it could be a ton of fun if done right, it seems. Thoughts or advice?

    Austin FC

    NFW Rigoni scored 6 goals. I don’t believe it.
  14. If a reporter asked Trump, “What do you think about republicans in red states wanting to give all unmarried males over 25 the right to conscript their choice of a local unmarried 18-25 year old at an annual mandatory barn dance for marriage, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers style, in order to encourage procreation?” his answer would be “Our people are looking into it.”
  15. I know literally zero people that vote like this.
  16. One of the years ACC hosted WGC I was at Trianon/Summer Moon on Thursday morning and this straight 10 was ordering coffee a few spots in line ahead of me. She got her coffee and hopped into her Escalade driven by Dustin Johnson. And that’s the day I blew my shot with Paulina Gretzky. But I also remember thinking it was super weird DJ was driving himself. /csb
  17. In an Uber with a boomer driver listening to Fox News Radio. Apparently Cohen was pantsed today and the entire case is blown and Bragg should just give up now. Jury clearly ready to acquit etc etc. Defense may not even need to bring a witness.
  18. I was drunk. Just don’t draft Clingan.
  19. Draft upside, particularly given our roster. Clingan’s upside is limited. I have no idea why he is rated so high. i would rather have Edey (although not at 3). Look, he might be Boban and inconsequential. But I could also see him being a force in limited doses at 7’5”. You don’t draft him to play heavy minutes next to Sengun. You play him to wreak havoc in short doses. And who knows? Maybe he is even better than that. He won me over this year and also seems to have a little fuck you to him. But that’s really just me saying don’t draft Clingan. In addition to Mitchell, I think one or more of Giannis, AD, Booker, Embiid, or guys like that become available. I want to be ready for that. I’d love to get Myles Turner on this team.
  20. This is fucking hilarious and scary. And clearly twitch leans Maga.
  21. Dems are chasing the voters that won’t show up unless they are scared enough by Trump to make it worth their while, right? So need to get actual sound bites of the shit he told Time and blast that out in swing states. And fucking get him on the record re running in 2028 via audio clip. Worst case is he answers correctly - “of course I can’t run.” But more likely, he stumbles over it and/or says something to effect of “well, we will see.” And the dictatorship on day 1 shit needs to be put on blast all over again.
