  1. I wonder how much that has changed in this era of top X%.
  2. Looking forward to the book. I love that kind of stuff. The story has been told several times, but I think this one is in the style of The Perfect Storm, which is a damn good book.
  3. Yeah, chiding the lower courts for not following their precedent, established by opinion-free, non-precedential orders on the "interim docket." Also, they're analyzing "likelihood of success on the merits," a key component of any emergency relief, not on existing precedent, but on what they're likely to do with the question.
  4. I agree that Trump lacks courage as a general proposition. I don't think I agree that sending US troops in harm's way takes much courage, especially for a thoughtless twat like Trump. Political courage, maybe.
  5. Yes. Almost without question, yes.
  6. Like the rest of us. Christ on a cracker.
  7. Because it wasn't. They're allergic to truth. The true progressives on the board never liked Biden, in theory or practice. The rest of us liked him pretty well for restoring normalcy. A few called him "best President of my lifetime." No one called for him to go on Mt. Rushmore, unless it was some kind of joke. Trump, on the other hand . . . .
  8. Da fuq. I guess that's somewhat semi-plausible because the "local" or "state" DC courts exist under federal law. But geezus.
  9. Speaking of which, I thought Zoe was really good. Very articulate (figure I can toss that at a white chick without penalty). But more seriously, pretty even-handed, insightful, and yes articulate for such a youngun.
  10. I also take issue with "super duper Christian." I mean, it is true that he appears to be a serious Christian that takes seriously the teachings of Christ. But that's not what Texas "Christians" want. At all. At some point, us rationals hope that someone like Talarico can summon our better angels We are Texans, most of us, and feel like they have to be there somewhere. But the way Abbott, Paxton, and Patrick continue to plumb our depths without ballot box penalty seems to show that is futile.
  11. Good analysis of the Antifa as DTO designation. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/you-can-t-designate--antifa--banks-and-platforms-will-act-like-you-did-anyway Tl;Dr, legally it has about zero effect. In terms of chilling certain activity, including by banks, the effect could be rather serious. But mostly depends on the courage of those it intends to target.
  12. The other thing is Trump's current bullshit, to wit authoritarianism, bad economics, thinly veiled racism, petty retribution for political enemies, should have been obvious to anyone paying attention since 2016. To most of us, the choice is binary: Trump, or not Trump. But it's a little more complex than that, because a vote for anyone other than Harris was effectively a vote for Trump.
  13. Normally, I concur. But when someone is outspokenly anti-gay, as is Johnson, it becomes an issue.
  14. Probably a matter of semantics, but if Arch was a sack/turnover machine, this might be true. Currently, all defenses have to do is commit to defending the run and dare Arch to throw. And our run game hasn't been up to that task, really. But if Arch can hit a few, that all goes down the toilet for the d.
  15. "Extensive studies of homosexual relationships" while getting a BBA at LSU. I think that means glory holes and arcade booths.
  16. Also curious that you discern that Kamala Harris is a total idiot, but somehow don't discern that Donald Trump is a total idiot, with dementia, a mean streak, and a severe personality order that is incompatible with the office of POTUS. And also backed by some pretty dangerous people. And either didn't vote or voted in a way that would help Trump win.
  17. If your thoughts about Trump now differ from those a year ago, you are either grossly misinformed or an abject moron. We know you're not the latter. That you are only aware of Talarico, a state rep here in your own state, from Rogan, is pretty shameful. Most people around here really like Talarico because he seems to exemplify what a real Christian in politics should be like. And, in that sense, is about the polar opposite of everything that is Trump. Most of us also are pretty fearful that a good guy like Talarico can't possibly win a general election in this state.
  18. Great story about Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/gordon-lightfoot-wreck-of-the-edmund-fitzgerald-story-1235436830/
  19. Cunt is a social construct. It can be applied to either sex.
  20. This post is full of a lot of bullshit. Stick that in your Overton Window. And rotate.
  21. 956 nailed it. Dry drunk.
  22. In case anyone didn't know, all of those military band musicians are seriously talented and formally educated musicians.
  23. Not to diminish the darkness of that EO, but this "QRF" is of national guard forces that are out of the chain of command of these officers in particular. I believe.
  24. Yeah was gonna mention the German aces with 300 kills for the same reason. E.g. Erich Hartmann, 345 Soviet kills, 7 American.
