  1. Finding an alternative based on the votes of the dumbest, least-informed voters in the history of evar.
  2. Reschenthaler's bill is also backed by Reps. Michael Waltz, R-Fla.; Andy Ogles, R-Tenn.; Chuck Fleischmann, R-Tenn.; Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.; Barry Moore, R-Ala.; and Troy Nehls, R-Texas, according to the website Congress.gov.
  3. Possibly. An execution-style foreclosure can be an even bigger clusterfuck than a mortgage foreclosure, so pushing that off could have some value.
  4. Yup. That's why they're typically 100% secured with liquid, foreclosure-free assets.
  5. Wice seems to get quite a few of these special prosecutor gigs and for some reason unauthorized practice of law cases. Any insight into that? lockquote widget
  6. To be honest, these charges were kinda chickenshit from the get go. The SEC declined to charge him criminally and Texas rarely charges these kinds of things. While it is quite amazing how he was able to delay the case, it is also somewhat amazing that he was charged in the first place and pursued for so long. The fact that the special prosecutor was getting paid (admittedly a pittance) may have had something to do with it.
  7. A common theme among fundagelicals is congregationalism. Meaning in this application that the individual congregation manages its own affairs, including deciding its own theology. Although certainly not infallible, those denominations with a more episcopal polity, that is, a hierarchy of governance, tend to be less extreme and more nuanced in their deeper beliefs and the hierarchy tends to exert a moderating influence. Congregationalism seems to be the most direct path to fundamentalist extremism in all the worlds religions. Judaism being a somewhat notable exception, probably given their strong tendency toward academicism among clergy and even lay members.
  8. The catlick common gooders, too. They might need a little reminder that took 150 years to elect a papist president. The mackerel snappers and the ratfuck babtis gonna be at each other's throats before we know it. /ht Stephen King
  9. Hell of a ninth from Dre. Never a doubt.
  10. Joe Bob Briggs. Aka John Bloom, native Texan for what that's worth anymore.
  11. Flare gun fu. Twist and shout check it out.
  12. It is a massively complex plot that isn't really exposed linearly. Might take a couple of re-watches to fully absorb. But some power acting from a stellar cast.
  13. Belyeu is a dude. Offense is exhibiting non-fail.
  14. Exactly what I am talking about. One of our better pitchers just walks in the tying run. What the fucking fuck. We have one of the better hitting lineups we've had but they go silent when it matters. Pitchers have eaten some good innings, but never when it really seems to count.
  15. This team is so full of fail. I don't recall a Texas team like it.
  16. I suppose, but it will probably let other shareholders sue the shit out of them and if he tries to sell a significant number of shares in a short period, well the share price is going in the shittter.
  17. Texas Medicaid covers only skilled nursing, not assisted living or memory care. About the only thing one can do with Medicaid beyond skilled nursing is jimmy up a home health care plan that probably won't cover 24/7,but would give family caretakers the ability to work and have some breaks.
  18. Yep fair points. The judgment is a bit punitive in nature if not explicitly so and the state is at least partially protected.
