  1. Sorry for the above post. It's clearly in the wrong thread. @immamac could you please delete it?
  2. A reminder that Clarence Thomas’s wife helped organize and transport the violent insurrectionists who wanted to hang Mike Pence. This is classic Stockholm Syndrome stuff.
  3. Apparently, HEB has fights over parking spots when its open. https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/fight-at-heb-18081222.php
  4. My USAA auto insurance premiums went up 16 percent year-year-over year. I was thinking of calling and complaining but then I did some shopping around and discovered that all of the best-known companies would be charging me about the same. Mind you, I'm a dream customer: I have been with USAA for 42 years, average about 8,000 miles per year on my vehicle, have never had a moving violation, and have filed only one claim in that time, when I was 18 years old --- a spotless driving record since then. Now I see that USAA lost money last year for the first time since it was founded 100 years ago. Not only did it lose money but it lost a ton of money, 1.3 billion dollars. https://www.mysanantonio.com/business/article/usaa-first-loss-18076948.php I guess I'll stick with them out of blind loyalty.
  5. The video at the above link is heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for his daughter, wife and sister.
  6. Trevor McEwan of Kaufman County charged with murdering 35-year-old Aaron Martinez. Why? Well, Aaron was HIspanic. "when Martinez moved to Forney two and a half years ago to open a horse training ranch with his family, right away, his neighbor – McEwan – told him Hispanics aren't welcome. "He started to follow us...[saying] 'We don't want you Spanish people in the area,'" said Salvador Martinez, Aaron's father. They say over time, the incidents started to escalate and they filed complaints. "When we were working on the ranch, he always was driving the truck with a big gun in the window...pointing to us," Salvador Martinez said. Martinez's sister says Monday, their lives changed forever. "Never would I have thought that we would be experiencing this," said Elisandra Martinez, Aaron's sister. "In a way, I just didn't believe there was so much evil. I could not." Police were called to the 9800 block of Neal Road where they found Martinez in a truck with fatal gunshot wounds. They say they witnessed McEwan driving away from the scene. After a short standoff, they took him into custody. Arrest documents show he later admitted to the crime." https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/friends-family-members-want-suspect-charged-hate-crime/
  7. The more I read about all of this the more convinced I become that the Federalist society is a domestic terrorist organization.
  8. Holy fuck. Drip ... drip ... drip .... This just dropped. "Conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo arranged for the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to be paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work just over a decade ago, specifying that her name be left off billing paperwork, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post. In January 2012, Leo instructed the GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway to bill a nonprofit group he advises and use that money to pay Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the documents show. The same year, the nonprofit, the Judicial Education Project, filed a brief to the Supreme Court in a landmark voting rights case. Leo, a key figure in a network of nonprofits that has worked to support the nominations of conservative judges, told Conway that he wanted her to “give” Ginni Thomas “another $25K,” the documents show. He emphasized that the paperwork should have “No mention of Ginni, of course.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2023/05/04/leonard-leo-clarence-ginni-thomas-conway/
  9. As I said in regard to Clarence Thomas, the corruption is just so brazen:
  10. So, just to be clear: you have no evidence for your contention that Giles Giddings was fighting to preserve slavery but you made assumptions that may or may not be true and were just talking out of your ass? Got it. Also, I wasn't the one who took this thread off topic. You did with your asinine statement about Giles Giddings.
  11. Even were that true (and it's not), that says nothing about the reasons Giles Giddings was fighting.
  12. I'm no fan of Abbott, but there's no way he is 100 times dumber than Futureman. 50-60 times, tops.
  13. The corruption is so brazen.
  14. He's 6'2" and 300 .lbs and he's like the second smallest person in that photo.
