    There are assholes everywhere, but generally firefighters are regarded as pretty high quality people. They also, according to the Washington Post six days ago, have the most physically demanding jobs in the country. 

    I’ve only noticed your existence by the sheer volume of terrible viewpoints you express on this site. So your comment is no surprise and says way more about you than it does the firefighter community. 

    ill go 40/60 with AFD

    I think part of the problem is no one else wants to do it (take on the role, I mean-I’m sure you can find plenty who’d happily fire him).  
     

    I hate to bash Beto but there’s a case to be made that he’d have been a far more dangerous AG candidate than governor.  Until you can mount some kind of state wide victory you’re going to be working against the leftover Ann Richards brigade and whose corpses run the state party.  
     

    That said, if Lina Hidalgo wants to take that next step and doesn’t use it for something Federal she could do it.  

    What is the expectation of Gilbert Hinojosa? The whipping boy status needs to be put out there. Given no credit for '18 from the board, YUGE tangible increases in '16 and '20 participation. '12 was dismal after 6 months on the job, '14 was not good for abortion barbie label. '22 was a push.

  3. Will be interesting to see how many one issue voters arise out of this for public education. My uncle is a huge MAGA guy, his mind didn't move at all on the gun issue after Sutherland Springs when members of his own extended family were involved, but he has been a band directorfor 30+ year all over NW Harris Co but he's smart enough to know the first thing that gets cut in public education is the arts.

    @slorch from your posts I always figured you were a big advocate for public education (apologies if I'm misremembering). Would the results of yesterday give you pause to vote for a R state house member that is pro voucher or state senator?  Also, anyone who jumps on him for the answer is a loser and not invited to my birthday party

    I voted in the primary election on March 3, 2020.  Why did they ask if I wanted a Republican or Democratic ballot?  

    The primary elections are two separate elections that occur on the same day. The elections are the method for both the Republican and Democratic parties to select their nominees for the general election in November. When a voter votes in a primary election or primary runoff election, they are affiliating with the party whose primary they are voting in. (§162.003). A voter who is affiliated with a political party is ineligible to become affiliated with another party during the same voting year. (§162.012). This means a voter cannot vote in both primary elections, or the primary election of one party and the runoff election of another party. Some counties will have joint primaries and/or the parties will share polling places. In a county where the Republican and Democratic parties are sharing polling places, the voter must identify the primary in which they would like to vote, in order to ensure they receive the correct ballot and are marked as voting in the correct primary election.

    Just voted at the Leander public library. Something that struck me as a little odd...they had a separate line for the Democratic and Republican primary. Normally I wouldn't have thought much of it, but in a time where you've got to be more conscious of your surroundings in public it rubbed me the wrong way a little bit. I guess the bright side was the R line looked to be about 45 minutes long and the D line only had 3 people in it when I walked up. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Lots of blue hairs in the R primary line. There was even a van from a retirement home in the parking lot, which I didn't think was allowed anymore? 

    *To clarify, once you checked in everyone used the same pool of machines. There were drop boxes for each party, but a common pool of machines. 

    It’s always been that way

  6. Remember this Super Tuesday when you’re trying to keep score of whether Paxtons guys, Abbots guys, or Phelan supporters come out on top, that Mississippi is going to pass Medicaid expansion with a full R state legislature by veto proof majorities, helping everyone in the state, and we’re just twiddling our thumbs

  7. Sharing an email from a real estate guy down there that got me excited about the Yucatan getting much better connected:

    Between the road paving project, new hospitals and medical facilities, gas stations north of the bridge, ferry/water taxi terminal, and additional Mexico water taxi routes it's better than ever to get in. 
     

    New Water Taxi Route Connects San Pedro & Mexico
    On February 24th, a new ferry route was announced that connects San Pedro & Ambergris Caye, Belize, to Chetumal, Mexico.

    San Pedro Belize Express unveiled its latest addition, the Three Star Voyager vessel, marking a significant milestone in the connectivity between Belize & Mexico and expanding its service offerings.

    The ferry route (water taxi) enhances the travel experience between Belize and Mexico but also holds significant potential for boosting tourism in Belize and facilitating trade in the region.

    This new route also signifies a milestone in connectivity, improving not only transportation for tourism but also logistics. By providing a direct and efficient travel option, it opens up new avenues for economic cooperation and trade.

    The trip between Ambergris Caye & Chetumal will take customers quickly and smoothly from Ambergris Caye, Belize, to Chetumal, Mexico.

    The water taxi service will further increase tourism to Belize and Ambergris Caye, especially with the recent opening of the Tulum International Airport and the Tren Maya (Yucatan Express Train system).

    The Tren Maya (sometimes also Mayan Train or Maya Train) is a railway system that traverses the Yucatán Peninsula. 

    The railway begins at Cancún International Airport and travels down to Chetumal and the Mexico/Belize border.

    New Water Taxi Terminal Connects San Pedro & Belize City
    There is a new water taxi terminal being built in the southern part of San Pedro Town, which will relieve a lot of the downtown traffic and improve accessibility from Belize City to San Pedro & Ambergris Caye. The new Water Taxi Terminal has started constructing the boat terminal south of downtown San Pedro along Coconut Drive.

    The project will be completed this year and is already well underway. This new boat terminal also has a seafront extension, an area for parking, unloading, loading, and dropping off passengers

    Road Pavements and Gas Stations
    A new gas station north of the bridge is complete and construction of another starting in Secret Beach.
