  1. Correct. 100% overreaction because the powers-that-be in this state don't like the message themselves. Nor do they really care but they're pandering to their supposed support base, which is support Israel at all cost. There is no nuance for these people -- that it's possible to support the Palestinian people who are being oppressed who didn't take part in 10/7 and also support the Israelis who suffered a brutal terroristic attack. It's also possible to think Netanyahu is huge piece of shit whose dick is hard to wipe not just Hamas off the map but all of the Palestinians.
  2. I was just wondering that exact same thing.
  3. Let me give it a shot: Pro Palestine group wants to demonstrate on campus Hartzell says no Pro Palestine group does it anyway Hartzell asked Hot Wheels days in advance for help clearing group Hot Wheels sends in DPS riot crews who forcefully clear the area, pushing peaceful demonstrators into roads and arresting them for blocking roadways A Fox cameraman accidentally bumps a DPS jackbook and is knocked to the ground and arrested Hartzell releases statement late in the evening, it shows he was complicit in the clearing of demonstrators There is ZERO evidence of anti-Semitism or violence from the demonstrators before being cleared by force Report comes out that all arrested demonstrators have been released from jail and no charges are being pressed Students who have been arrested are not being allowed back on campus at this time -- just in time for finals
  4. Somebody else can chime in but it was bad enough that there is probably no way in walking that back, at least not while Cat and Dan Bennett are still around. (I think Dan is still there in some capacity.)
  5. I don't recall everything but he went on a Twitch stream with Gordo and was probably 2/3 of his way through a bottle of bourbon and just trashed The Ticket/Cumulus management over myriad topics, including paying like shit, etc. They ain't ever letting him back after that.
  6. Yep. Live look-in at Donesco Patriota:
  7. Yeah, that ain't a good look.
  8. Is this the thread where we’re discussing Truth Social stock? Because if we are …
  9. So tell me why Rhona Graff was called by the prosecution for a brief time on the stand and is now speaking glowingly of her former boss?
  10. It was not very good buddy. Yeah, none of those dudes can come back. Sirois went total scorched earth. Ben & Skin were long gone. Balis left The Ticket because they didn't pay him enough. Not sure this (the Freak boondoggle) was in the works, it might've been but who knows? I guess he could conceivably make his way back but in what capacity? Julie is terrible. Grubes will go find a better gig, I'm sure.
  11. I doubt most of us would've heard anything about it outside of Austin if he hadn't let Hot Wheels turn loose his goon squad to make it a scene shown around the US. Let them have their protest, maybe issue a statement that it is not endorsed by the university and if the protesters are non-violent and leave when they're supposed to leave, it's over and done with. Period. But Hartzell and Abbott threw gasoline on the fire here and it's a gigantic shit-show. UT looks terrible. Was there any threat it was going to turn into Columbia if they didn't send in the clowns to sweep the area???
  12. Marchment and Faksa both got hurt in the third. Anybody got updates on their injuries? I know we won’t get specifics but are either players for G3?
  13. Vegas is a very bad matchup for us. Very deep defensive group, which was how they won last year. They pack the middle and don’t let you near the goal. I think that’s why Pavelski has been erased. He can’t get anywhere near the goal mouth to do what he normally does. I’m not ready to pull the plug on DeBoer. He’s the best coach we’ve had since Tippett (not counting Monty because he was gone before he really showed what he maybe is). He’s won a lot of playoff games/series and sometimes those guys just break through finally. I think we’re struggling because we have a deep roster of very good players but nobody who is one of the best of the best in the game, guys that just dominate, especially up top. This team needs a Matthew Tkachuk type player.
  14. That’s right. But I don’t think he can vote for himself as a convicted felon. What a country! /yakovsmirnoff
  15. Seems there are some Daily Texan posters replying to that Daily Texan tweet.
  16. Well, I see this was thoroughly discussed on the previous page. Too many off-site meetings the past two days.
  17. The Trump team had (drum roll) … McDonald’s for lunch!
  18. Definitely. He can’t afford to lose any of the support he had in 2020 so the numbers aren’t meaningless from the election standpoint. I’m just more disgusted that a conviction only culls 24% of those who would otherwise vote for him. Refresh my memory but doesn’t a felony conviction make him ineligible or is it simply because he will not have exhausted all appeals by the election if convicted?
  19. CNN poll conducted 4/18-4/23 says if 76% of Trump supporters could support him regardless of whether he's convicted of a crime, 24% might reconsider support. Jesus fucking Christ. The talking head goes on to say of the 24%, eight out of 10 of those said they would NEVER vote for Biden.
  20. Not ashamed to admit I had to look up the definition of sopoforic. Sure, it might be "standard operating procedure" to buy stories and not run them for whatever reason. I don't believe that part is inherently illegal. Unethical, perhaps, but not against the law. The illegality is on Trump (and Cohen and others) for trying to conceal how the payments were handled and how they were accounted for. He has to lose in November. The courts are not going to handle this for us. They might bury him after the fact but he must lose the election first. Otherwise, we're turbo-fucked.
  21. Because he's been screaming about the "witch hunt" since he was first impeached -- it's been burned into their smooth brains at this point. Somebody posted a few weeks back about Russian psy-ops during the Cold War that it took X number of months of repeatedly telling somebody a lie over and over and eventually it became fact to that subject. This is 100% what has happened with the hard-core MAGA believers, the non-wealthy ones who don't stand to benefit by Trump's "platform."
