  1. Isn’t their coach a Tech guy too?
  2. I hope Macron’s suit against her is Trump level - for something like a zillion billion dollars.
  3. He now feels free to be out and proud maga: https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/cardinal-timothy-dolan-turns-75-submits-resignation/
  4. This would be 1930’s Dolan: https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/the-great-scandal-christianitys-role-in-the-rise-of-the-nazis/
  5. There are dark days ahead for higher Ed in Texas: https://www.texasaft.org/membership/higher-ed/89th-legislature-closes-with-final-attack-ontexas-colleges-universities-and-health-institutions/
  6. If that gimpy-eyed sack of shit can hang it straight, he can climb on my counter and hang it himself. A federal judge a temporarily blocked SB10. We’ll see…
  7. And just this week Forbes named UT as a top public Ivy and a viable alternative to the Ivy League schools which have lost some luster in the current political climate. They obviously don’t know what’s afoot here in Texas.
  8. There are some very dark days ahead for higher ed in Texas. The latest aggy purge is brought to you by the Charlie Kirk inspired Professor Watchlist: After mounting political accusations of "liberal indoctrination" in Texas A&M University courses, President Mark Welsh is stepping down as the university's leader, Chancellor Glenn Hegar announced Thursday evening. The news comes after Welsh fired a professor at Gov. Greg Abbott's direction when a video of a student confronting the professor for teaching about gender identity in a children's literature course went viral. Critics have called the termination a politically motivated violation of academic freedom, while other critics have continued to push the call for Welsh to resign.
  9. This is where we’re headed with a bunch of Catholic politicians, and oligarchs leading the way: https://churchandstate.org.uk/2016/04/the-great-scandal-christianitys-role-in-the-rise-of-the-nazis/ A growing body of scholarly research, some based on careful analysis of Nazi records, is clarifying this complex history.[2] It reveals a convoluted pattern of religious and moral failure in which atheism and the nonreligious played little role, except as victims of the Nazis and their allies. In contrast, Christianity had the capacity to stop Nazism before it came to power, and to reduce or moderate its practices afterwards, but repeatedly failed to do so because the principal churches were complicit with—indeed, in the pay of—the Nazis.
  10. It is time for organized resistance. There’s a lot riding on our ability to do so. Shit’s serious.
  11. For good measure, lets just add the the FCC will change a long standing rule that limits corporate ownership of stations from 39% to 80%, thereby allowing NextStar, Sinclair and other right wing media companies to control much of what America consumes on radio and TV. THIS IS ALL PROJECT 25 STUFF.
  12. I would suggest going bigger. The days after the next Dem president is sworn in, he should prevail on the Democratic Congress to pass legislation to expand the Supreme Court by 4 and have his nominees ready for a vote post haste.
  13. It’s interesting. Trump likes to appear impervious to the bone marrow hatred a majority of Americans have for him. But he really is bothered by it.
  14. He made fun of Trump’s response to a question about how he was handling Kirk’s death. FWIW, it was funny.
  15. Transparent my behind: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-justice-department-removes-study-142600191.html The US justice department has scrubbed a study from its website concluding that far-right extremists have killed far more Americans than any other domestic terrorist group, just days after a gunman fatally shot the prominent conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The report, now archived, titled What NIJ Research Tells Us About Domestic Terrorism, vanished from the Department of Justice website between 11 and 12 September, according to Jason Paladino, an independent investigative reporter who first wrote the story. Kirk, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally, was gunned down while speaking at Utah Valley University on 10 September. The vanished study opened with: “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives. In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”
  16. Trump wants this photo and all other vestiges of slavery from the Smithsonian: https://npg.si.edu/learn/classroom-resource/gordon-lifedates-unknown
  17. Related to Patel’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee: https://newrepublic.com/post/200516/kash-patel-damning-fact-check-enemies-list You can continue to characterize it as you wish, the only actions we take—generally speaking—for personnel at the FBI are what’s based on merit qualifications and your ability to uphold your constitutional duty. You fall short, you won’t work there anymore,” he added. “Well, there was a list,” Whitehouse said. “You don’t like it to be called an enemies list, but it had about 60 names, and about 20 have had adverse actions. So I think those are pretty clear facts.”
  18. All one has to do to show the rank hypocrisy of the governor and Tech’s Regents chair is listen to thousands of Tech students substitute their fight songs original words with the following. (I double checked for accuracy) We will hit ‘em. We will wreck ‘em. We will fucking kick your ass The 18 year old was expelled for less. I hope this negatively impacts the inroads they’ve made in appealing to black athletes and exposes Campbell for the bigoted billionaire he really is.
  19. For those still ignoring the obvious: President Donald Trump said he "couldn't care less" when asked by Fox News how he would make America "come back together". ".
  20. That’s a bad boy! I listen to him weekly.
  21. There’s a lot of space between being appalling silent and doing nothing.
  22. Yes, as well as MLK called the “appalling silence of good people who do nothing.”
  23. This shit had gotten out of hand: https://www.reddit.com/r/law/s/r6mR7ZijTT
