    First - Austin/FW. Why would I troll about populations of two towns I love?  They’ve been very close for as long as I can remember, and I think we are about the same age. Why don’t you look up population stats over the decades and you’ll see I’m right. 

    On CS - this is my perception and many like me. I’ve never lived in the area and wouldn’t want to. But when I take my son to this tournament on an annual basis, and we take our HP team/parents with us, it’s not like we’re clamoring to get a vacation home there. But it is MUCH nicer than it was when I would go in school and visit friends from ‘96-‘00. They’ve stepped up their game. Are they Austin, Dallas, FW, Houston or SA or surrounding area in the Hill Country?  Hell no. Would it be a palatable place for a kid to go to school for 4 years?  Much more so than when you and I were coming out. 

    I respectfully disagree, but understand what you are saying.

    I’ve only spent more time in Dallas (20 years) than in Austin (7 years) and Fort Worth (4 years). What you’re saying is total bullshit about the two cities’ populations. It’s not popular to say but College Station is a desirable place to spend 4 years as a college kid, minus the cultish school, relative to what it was when I was in school 25 years ago and would take trips to that crazy place. 

    It isn't. You are are a fucking troll.

    I go to College Station every year for a big statewide 7on7 tourney. Every year we (Texas grads) are all pleasantly surprised. Fort Worth is about the same size as Austin, and at no point was the Fort MUCH BIGGER than Austin. That is absurd. Austin definitely feels more modern than Fort Worth, but its skyline pales in comparison to Dallas, which pales to Houston. And Austin is nowhere near as dense as Brooklyn or with the skyline to compete with it. Lol. 

    I grew up in fort worth, lived in college station. Can confirm. Fort worth was much bigger than Austin until the early 2010s. Can also confirm college station is depressing and a shit hole.

    Is there a history here? What's with the zealous moderation around the T-word?

    No moderation - content separation. Trump has his own thread. It's

    that is a more historically relevant thread if it happens.

    Quote

    Ducks Wire can confirm a report that Oregon Ducks tight end Spencer Webb suffered a tragic head injury on Wednesday afternoon that left him dead.

    According to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, a 22-year-old person suffered an apparent head injury after slipping on the rocks at the Triangle Lake rock slides on Wednesday afternoon.

     

  6. I'm just a fucking idiot, so what do I know.

    There were 3 definite points of entry that could have been coordinated and leveraged. 

    1 - the door to the classroom. 

    2 - the door to the adjacent, attached classroom

    3 - the windows into the classroom. 

    All 3 should have been swarmed ASAP with people with adequate firearms and armor/protective equipment and breached simultaneously. 1 person cannot cover 3 points of ingress covering 270 degrees of field. 3 minute response failed and that sucks, but 6 or 7 minute response was completely feasible and possible.

    If you can break the law and then avoid prosecution and consequences specifically because of political reasons... Then you're above the law. 

    Impeachment and conviction is the remedy, and the remedy is empirically ineffective. Half of the jury for the impeachment refuses to even hear evidence and participate - which is a problem when you need two thirds of them to vote to convict

    That's like saying every jury gets every verdict correct. Except the jury isn't selected by people who voted. I get it, it's not ideal that this is happening, but it's not flawed. The American public repeatedly electing Mitch fucking McConnell is what's fucked up. Or MTG or Boobert or Gomert or Hawley or or or or or. Just pull your heads out of your asses. It's not who is president it's the American people who are the problem.

    More importantly DOJ is subject to POTUS oversight and there’s a constitutional question as to whether a sitting President can even be indicted, that’s the only conclusion mueller came to - impeachment is the only remedy otherwise wait til he’s out of office. 

    Impeachment and conviction IS the constitutional remedy for this. Everyone is just being a shithead about it trying to clutch pearls and say NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW, it's laughable.

    the tweet I quoted said:

    Those raids tell me they’ve flipped all (or at least most of) the smaller fish they needed to, and they pretty clearly show that Trump is a target. You don’t just raid lawyers for no reason.
     

    “They” being the attorneys. The tweet says that the raids of the attorneys’ office show that trump is a target.

    The raids of Cohen’s office were front page news and discussed extensively here as part of the effort to link trump with Russian interference with the election. Sure, Cohen was found guilty. But, Barr did fuck all with Trump’s involvement in it.

    if the pattern holds true again, the attorneys get indicted but nothing happens with trump. Who gives a shit about the minions.


     

    Trump was a sitting president and it was questionable what kind of precedent would be set to actively pursue legal remedy against a currently elected executive who could potentially self pardon. It was a can of worms best left unopened. In hindsight it was still the right decision.
