This.
He doesn't have to campaign. He just has to "be Trump," and issue the occasional outrageous/hateful/stochastic terrorist call to arms statement. That's it. That's all he has to do, and he WALTZES into the GQP nomination. There is no party but the party of Trump.
He will have plenty of time to campaign once he’s elected. -

I posted this Texas artist Adele Brunet still life earlier in this thread. My wife wants to send it to auction at David Dyke Fine Art in Dallas. They specialize in Texas and have sold several of her pieces.
If anyone here is interested in it let me know. Truly beautiful piece but we have no place for it. Dyke estimates 1K to 2K range. Not trying to”eBay” it but would just as soon let someone from here have it.

“The co-worker told police that Olalde said “he had killed his family because they were cannibals, and they were going to eat him,” the affidavit states.”
Guess this counts because it reached the magic number of four.

Wasn’t their argument that Paxton was elected by the people so wait until the next election and let the people decide? They don’t seem interested in the same for phelan and he didn’t even break the law!
Well, the people we elected voted for impeachment so it’s a push. -
Looks like ever Collin County Rep voted aye. Denton County one was P and the rest aye. Even Jarrod Patterson voted aye.

Apparently she spent ample time this week surfing Porn sites.
She’s just like me! -
If there's another thread for ebikes, let me know (I looked and didn't fine one), but wanted to see if anyone here uses one. I'm looking at an Aventon Level 2 for $1700 or a Trek which I test rode this weekend which was about $3500. I'd use it for daily commute and chores, I have a regular hybrid and a road bike for fitness. I'd use this strictly for commuting without breaking too much of a sweat. The Aventon has a throttle which I like as I might want it when its 100 degrees in the summer and I just want to get to work and back without drenching my clothes. I don't think Trek's have a throttle option, but their motors I think are mid drive which is supposed to be superior to rear hub (which Aventon is) and can be nearly as effortless as a throttle (from what I've read). Just curious if anyone has any thoughts or insight. I just started researching this weekend.
Have only spent a little time on a mid drive on off road paved trails. Was nice and the torque sensor was pretty smooth vs a cadence sensor like on most hub drives. It was underpowered though. 250 watt.
Have done a few hundred miles on a hub drive in urban environment. Love the throttle in this environment. Use it to zip through intersections or navigating tricky sections.
Correct there are +/- to each drive. Mid drive puts a lot of strain on the drivetrain, chain and cogs, and if you break a chain it’s pedal only. Sucks on a heavy e-bike.
Hub drives are heavy and you need to keep your spokes tensioned correctly but mid electronics are usually more sophisticated. -
I'm through episode 4 of Love & Death and the two leads are really good.
There was a fun Friday Night Lights reunion when Buddy Garrity showed up as the police chief.
Yeah. Also fun seeing all the CenTex locations. Wylie is “too modern.”

Yeah. A favorite band at one of my favorite venues on my birthday. I was mesmerized by Johnny Marr while everyone else was watching Morrissey.- 2

Wait till it snows or better yet, ices. The roads should be nice and blocked.
This kinda surprised me.
No safety or emissions inspections-12 States
Annual safety and emissions inspections-9 States including Texas(some are for more populated communities only) I know when I first moved to Collin County there were no emissions inspections.

My Mount Rushmore. This one hurt, saw him at a DJ set about a decade ago. Feels like it was yesterday, RIP.
Now I feel fortunate to have been there.- 5

I assume she’ll be releasing this footage any moment now or is it in a police body cam server?
this fucking cunt. She’ll probably fundraise six figures off this shit too
Footage in the replies. -
I caught the Femmes at Liberty Lunch sometime back in 88 or 89. Then I forgot about them for a bit until I was listening to my CDs at home and fell in love with their sound again. Bought tickets to see them at the amphitheater at COTA but it got cancelled due to covid. Were they in Austin? I wish I were there, dammit.
Stubbs tonight? -
Yes, it was. Too bad that album is slightly front-loaded. The post self-titled stuff is almost a let-down of sorts. I do love "American Music" though. That's a fun closer.
I would have liked some more from The Blind Leading the Naked. I think “ I Held Her in My Arms”was the only one. -
Well, he doesn't use a real drum kit most of the time (if not all the time). Just the stand-up drum with the "sticks" that are the ones that flay out -- not sure what they're called. Oh, and he had a Weber kettle charcoal grill up there that he played near the end. Gordon can play pretty good guitar. Ritchie is the bassist and I thought he usually used a stand-up but it's been awhile since I'd seen them. He basically had an acoustic guitar with what seemed like very loose strings to get his sound.
They're still a shit-load of fun to see live. I highly recommend it if you like that first album.
Two snares and brushes mostly. Also a Weber and a wood box. -
I liked that album in my college rock days. Caught the Femmes on the first Lollapalooza tour (Dallas). While they weren't a particularly GOOD band (as players) they sure had a sound. I don't think I ever saw them again, glad to see they're still out on the road.
I think Brian Ritchie is pretty talented bassist. Assuming he was using an Ernie Ball Earthwood most of the time. Tone on that thing is sweet. -

Welp, that was fun!

They were already found to be in violation of antitrust laws in the 90s but no action was taken.
