  1. Was just about to post this same thing. I watched it 3x to closely watch the guys behind him. Not one of them even flinches.

    If what you suppose is the case, and maybe it will turn out that it is, why did our elected politicians need to pass a law to address it? That just feels to me like we made university administrators do a lot of work to restructure programs all in the name of politics.

    I have two Nirvanas in my neighborhood orbit.
  5. I hear you, but it eventually contributes to a bigger gap between the haves and have nots as opposed to actually addressing the root problem. Since that’s not going to happen any time soon we play with what we have, I suppose.
  6. On a good day, it can be very, very good. I’ve also had Pit Room and a bad day and it was pretty terrible. I live right smack in between the Pit Room and Truth so I go to Truth 9 times out of 10.
  7. A true solution requires a big investment in mental health and substance abuse treatment and we know that’s not going to happen. Instead, we use the justice system at a higher price.
  8. I read it when it came out a week or two ago. Pretty good read. Bottom line is that Harris County has empowered the constables to create a place in the law enforcement ecosystem that is unique in the state. To your point about the constable being more helpful than calling HPD, that was one of the main points of the article. Basically, the constables don’t and won’t investigate real crime. They respond to nuisance shit which makes them viewed favorably in the community. All of these elected constables are greatly incentivized to go out and sell their services to neighborhoods to expand their fiefdom. One of the funniest things in the series was about a particular precinct that doesn’t have any HCTRA roads in it. The constable was mad because his precinct wasn’t getting any of that sweet, sweet HCTRA ticket revenue so HCTRA carved off a few miles of BW8 so that this precinct’s deputies could patrol it. it makes some pretty good points that lead you to question the expansion of constables into law enforcement instead of being process servers since it is diverting resources away from the sheriff’s office.
  9. Your point is very valid. I was going more about the uneducated that make up his most enthusiastic and cult like base. The people on the videos from rallies that get posted on Twitter and we all laugh at. That’s the frustrating thing to me. These are people that Trump despises yet they worship him. And then the assumingly educated folks you refer to are in on it as well for reasons I’ll never understand. I’ve made jokes about it before, but the fact is that traffic on this site would take an huge hit if all the Trumpers moved to TexAgs where they belong. There are lots of folks that received an education at this once fine state’s flagship university that not only think this is all hunky dory, they vote for it enthusiastically.
  10. Because these people never leave their trailer parks to see the world for themselves so they believe everything that’s shoveled at them by Trump. These dimwits are the exact reason why the GQP wants to dismantle the education system in this country.
  11. And we have no idea how many dead bodies and scooters are in the lake so we can’t determine the effectiveness of these initiatives.
  12. Phenomenally talented assholes are probably the exact people you want designing airplanes.
  13. Bibi laughs at your war crimes.
  14. Yeah, City Manager is definitely up there and had a brain fart on thinking of that one. I would put that one first. I’m not really seeing shit on APD or the housing code changes.
  15. The cynical part of me wonders if IDF did this on purpose to impose more suffering in Gaza knowing that WCK would limit or pull out of Gaza after these attacks. At the same time, I agree with other posters that this is going to do more damage in their PR battle. This pisses me off right good as WCK is one of the best and most effective NGOs out there.
  16. Serious question, what do you think priorities 1-4 or 1-5 are because I can’t figure out what the heck Watson is doing?
  17. Why should taxpayers be on the hook for this? If the scooter companies want to operate in Austin, removing scooters from the lake should be a cost of doing business for them. They should be allowed a finite number of scooters. Deploy 100 scooters and you’re down to 90, better go diving in the lake to retrieve 10 before you can replace them.
  18. No shit, but they ARE useful idiots that are indirectly supporting the MAGA agenda by putting money in the pocket of Elon. That’s the point.
  19. You’ve got it. What some people are saying is that the Ds could horse trade with a handful of Rs to get them to vote for Jeffries. What I think is more likely is the opposite, which would be for the Ds to horse trade with Johnson to save his ass. Whatever happens, it will be entertaining to watch the GQP infighting.
  20. Someone was pissed when they showed up for the Pearl Jam show and found out it had been turned into a shopping center.
  21. Why? He still fled the scene of an injury accident if true.
  22. It’s where you keep your aftermarket spare tire that you paid $1,250 for.
  23. That whole family is so loathsome.
