  1. Interesting viewpoint here. On one hand, you desire to see people physically abused for their beliefs, and on the other, you express dismay that you might be virtually punished for yours.
  2. I was wondering why their feed went down.
  3. They're determined to turn UT into aggy. Cops are keeping the kids off the sacred grass of Six Pack. Edit: The students are periodically and appropriately chanting, "Off our campus."
  4. One final clip from the long video demonstrates how peaceful the students were when the yellow-vested organizers cleared a path for the cops. Just as the quote above shows, it's the fascist assholes who want the appearance of chaos on our campus so that the suckers will continue to support them.
  5. The scene with horsey cops getting in with protestors and the fat fuck fascist on the bike telling kids they'll be arrested if they don't disperse.
  6. I've timed the video to a little more than a minute before any shit goes down. Protestors are standing around. Local Fox crew is talking about just needing to get an interview. Suddenly, you hear yelling, and they focus in on cops trying to take someone down in the crowd. Bike cops start coming in, followed by the riot cops, who do more shoving. Later, the horse cops. Even after all that, the protestors are peaceful as fuck. Most of the rest of the video is people standing around chanting as the police presence gets heavier. Yellow-vested protestors, who look like they're the organizers, even managed to clear Speedway for the horsey cops much later in the video. There was no violence, nor threat of violence, except from the fucking cops.
  7. I'll also add that there were Jewish students wrapped in Israeli flags watching the protest, smiling and laughing among themselves, and not a soul was harassing them.
  8. Yep. The STATE decided to make it about a display of force rather than the actual issue being protested. If you watch the video, the students were peacefully marching on a SIDEWALK ON CAMPUS (not blocking a highway or traffic or any other excuse apologists love to give), and the DPS just started barging through the march, shoving kids around and pushing them back. Then came the cops on horses and a fat DPS dude on a motorcycle saying that anyone who doesn't disperse will be arrested. Now, the cops have staked out their ground on the grassy area of Six Pack, periodically expanding their turf by pushing protesters farther and farther back.
  9. Those of you who support the DPS on campus today haven't watched the posted video (or any of the current live streams), or you have watched some of it and simply get off on watching armed assholes in uniform shoving kids around.
  10. Why wouldn't they also be charged? Is it because they might not have enough evidence or because they don't want to go through the hassle of Trump's successful delay, delay, delay strategy? Can they come back and charge them again later?
  11. "Corpses everywhere. They're all ours." "There's war, but this... it was a meatgrinder here."
  12. George Santos ends comeback bid for Congress after raising no money Former U.S. Rep. George Santos on Tuesday said he is dropping his longshot bid to return to Congress, months after he was expelled from the House while facing a slew of federal fraud charges. Santos, who was running as an independent candidate for the 1st Congressional District in New York, said he was withdrawing from the race in a post on the social media platform X. The announcement came after the disgraced former congressman’s campaign committee reported no fundraising or expenditures in March, raising speculation that his campaign had failed to get off the ground. Santos last month launched a campaign to challenge Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in the GOP primary for the eastern Long Island congressional district, which is a different district than the one he previously represented. Weeks later, Santos said he was leaving the Republican Party and would instead run for the seat as an independent. “Although Nick and I don’t have the same voting record and I remain critical of his abysmal record, I don’t want to split the ticket and be responsible for handing the house to Dems,” Santos wrote on X, adding, “Staying in this race all but guarantees a victory for the Dems in the race.” Santos was expelled from the House in December following a damaging ethics committee report that determined there was “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking and that he “cannot be trusted.” He was just the sixth member expelled by colleagues in the chamber’s history. The former congressman has pleaded not guilty to federal charges that include deceiving Congress about his wealth, stealing from his campaign and obtaining unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve. He has a trial tentatively scheduled for later this year. In his post on X, Santos did not rule out seeking office in the future. “It’s only goodbye for now,” he wrote, “I’ll be back.”

  20. Ah, that's where you're wrong, my jejune Jar Jar. They could have really friendly neighbors and never have to worry about security again. Hell, they wouldn't ever need a dang army. And can you imagine what kind of awesome fucking canteloupe-, nopal-, and yucca-based dishes they could come up with? My gawd. Make em eat Kosher Bell! So, instead of kicking out 2.2 million brown people for everlasting security, we'd only have to kick out less than 40k. Of course, this would mean the Israelis must "volunteer" to make this happen. Never mind that, though, this is TOTALLY doable. No problemo!!!
  21. Oh, yeah, El Paso could finally hook up with New Mexico, which is what I suspect they've always wanted anyway with their contrarian "Mountain Time Zone." I figure another good source of income for New Israel be the tolls they could place on I-10 & 20 without even having to build the dang things. They could have that infrastructure for FREE!
  22. Guys, I've been giving this a lot of thought, and I think I've come up with the PERFECT solution that NONE of you will be able to find a fault in. Let's give most of Far West Texas to the Israelites and let them voluntarily move there. It's got mountains and access to both the Pecos and Rio Grande rivers. In the northeastern portion of that area, there's a fuckton of oil. So, they ought to make a pretty good economy out of it. Plus, they'd have a whole bunch more land than they currently have. Yeah, there are a few people out there, but not many--I'd guess maybe 40,000 more or less. So, it's not like they'd be displacing many folks. They'd easily have a majority and be guaranteed a Jewish state. Sure, we'd be forfeiting the Davis Mountains and Big Bend, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice so long as they allow Americans to visit. Plus, we'd get a groovy new trade partner to join NAFTA. What's not to like? I CHALLENGE ANYONE to come up with faults in my PERFECT PLAN! Why can't y'all see my wisdom?
  23. Another consideration with desalination is what to do with all the brine, but smart folks are looking into that. https://news.mit.edu/2019/brine-desalianation-waste-sodium-hydroxide-0213
