  1. Every time I hear her talk ...
  2. You know the answer to this - to "OWN THA LIBS"! It's the answer to the vast majority of the stupid shit they do.
  3. Texas GOP says not so fast, my friend. The question is whether Turner has his lawyers sandbag a bit and let them get the injunction. If these GOP dumbasses might actually learn something when 1/2 of them come down with COVID-19, it might be worth it. But who am I kidding - they'll throw out a conspiracy theory that Turner released coronavirus in the A/C system, and the Trumpkins will just lap that shit up ...
  4. Crenshaw calls cancellation of Texas GOP convention 'prudent,' Patrick blasts Turner for move https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/houston/article/patrick-turner-crenshaw-texas-gop-convention-react-15396462.php
  5. Trump pulled a Desantis by starting his touchdown dance at the 50 yard line, even though it was clear to anyone with a fucking clue about how COVID-19 outbreaks unfold that deaths are about to spike. In the 3 days since his tweet, deaths in California have jumped from fairly stable weekly average deaths of 63 to 132 / 145 over the last 2 days. For Texas, deaths have jumped from a weekly average deaths of ~35 to 101 and 97 over the last 2 days. Shit's going to be getting real in CA, TX, AZ, FL and the rest of the deep South over the next few weeks, and once again, we're going to have proof that there is indeed a tweet for everything. Sometimes it takes 5 or 6 years, sometimes it takes a few days, but there is always a tweet ...
  6. Alito and Thomas need to go hang out with their GOP buddies at the convention in Jacksonville.
  7. And Roberts delivers the Mazars opinion. 7-2 decision with Thomas and Alito dissenting (shocking). https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/19pdf/19-715_febh.pdf
  8. Fucking Roberts plays to the crowd with an Aaron Burr history lesson in the wake of Hamilton showing up on Disney Plus. He really does care about his popularity ...
  9. Funny, that's what I told myself every time I watched one of Dotard's press briefings ...
  10. That is amazing. They should throw that thing on a map to drive the point home. Poor California is in some shitty company.
  11. She must have gotten some pepper spray to the face at one of the protests - the milk is supposed to help a bit.
  12. JFC - this is basically a COVID-19 party for teachers. We don't pay teachers enough for this shit.
  13. "Supreme Court - you have a problem with that? You know what you should do? You should sanction me - sanction me with your army. Oh - wait a minute, you don't have an army ...
  14. This was from last week and includes some details on the breakdown in cases at Texas daycare facilities - 894 staff members and 441 children. The fact that fewer kids seem to be getting infected than staff members could be explained one of two ways - (1) kids really don't get infected as much, but when you have a few infected kids in a closed facility with A/C, a lot of adults end up getting sick; or (2) infections among kids may just be getting underreported because many are asymptomatic. Either way, the problem would seem to be that once we open schools, a lot of teachers + a lot of parents / family members are going to end up sick as kids get sick. It may be the case that serious illness among kids is pretty rare - at this point I don't think we really know if kids getting exposed to increased viral loads could result in worse illnesses among kids than we've seen to date. Regardless, it feels like the Texas and Israeli experiences suggest that at a minimum sending kids to schools will result in an increase in viral vectors that will make getting control of the virus (i.e., in particular, reducing patients in ICUs) significantly more difficult.
  15. Perhaps they associate the Exxon Valdez with the Texas O&G industry?
  16. Is @Brisketexan Tim Miller, or is Tim Miller just plagiarizing Brisket?
  17. That would make sense, given he keeps yelling "I FEEL THREATENED" for the camera. Chances that he is (or was) a cop? Probably >50%, given the "I feared for my life ..." training on display here.
  18. That's Texas that California hates. Illinois is the only state that hates Indiana. Not even Pence and his conversion therapy lunacy can get Indiana on California's radar.
  19. As a reminder that the current timeline is being controlled by some soap-opera quality producers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Barr
  20. ... and when she dies first, we'll have to continue to presume her innocent for all time - along with anyone for whom she arranged "massages." Yeah, that's the ticket ...
