    They’re pissants. The term was created for them.

    Pissant is an epithet for an inconsequential, irrelevant, or worthless person, especially one who is irritating or contemptible out of proportion to his or her perceived significance. A Virginia politician is said to have silenced a heckler by saying, "I'm a big dog on a big hunt and I don't have time for a piss-ant on a melon stalk."[8]

    So for the legal eagles here, surely Dominion's lawyers are documenting all of this, and preparing to run a train on Powell, etc. who keep claiming Dominion or its machines are changing votes, etc?

    Not a legal eagle but I doubt that Dominion will do anything of the sort. They’d just be giving Powell another venue to rant and rave and more excuses to go on OAN and Newsmaxx to whip up the rubes and further cement Dominion= corrupt in their minds. Whatever money she has won’t be enough to offset the damages that will cause.

  3. This dude is gone in a month.  I fully agree that this and plenty of other actions more than justify impeachment but shit, that would be an incredible gift to the GOP during Georgia special elections. All of the sudden it’s back to the victim narrative. 

    Eyes on the ball, let him flounder and bloviate and go win the Senate.

    So don’t vote using dominion. Ok. The alternative is...mail in?  She thinks those are fraudulent as well. How is a Georgia republican supposed to safely vote?

    Sidney Powell is like if Paula Dean and Jack Nicholson’s Joker spawned a middle aged woman.

    I like this.   Of course your community can either go the Frisco route, adding schools with the mad population growth and keeping them within reason at the 5A level... or go mega school bigger than some colleges.  Should you go mega school, however, you're fucked when it comes to athletics.

     

    Gets kind of dicey there, to be honest, dictating what a community can and cannot do in that realm..  As a guy who played both 5A( now 6A) level and 2A level football, I have a hard time feeling sorry for any school with 2100 kids crying about talent levels.  Throw in the Lufkin/ Longview type programs from East Texas who seemingly find a way to be competitive, and it adds to my reluctance to be sympathetic.

    I don’t think you’re telling a community what they can and can’t do in that realm.  We have an upper and lower attendance figure in every class except 6A,  no one says it’s not fair that Judson can’t choose to play in 5A.

    You would just be saying “this is the size of school eligible for the 6A championship. You want to play, we will find you games. But if you go bigger than number X, unfortunately there are not enough schools in that size range to create a championship series.”

    I think they should make a rule that any school over X enrollment needs to have 2 football teams, and split the team by even/odd social security numbers or A-L and M-Z last names. X should probably be around 1.5-2 times the 6a cutoff. I'd also be fine if X = (Allen's enrollment - 1)

    The two teams I follow are Westlake and Lampasas. Westlake has around 2500 kids and Lampasas around 1000. The difference in talent is immense. But in a few weeks Westlake will probably play North Shore with 4500 kids. 

    I like this.  I was thinking about how to implement it without schools making an A/B team and under resourcing the B team but your solution would work. 

  7. Seems like an easier solution would be to just create an enrollment cap. You can be put in a district and play a regular season, but you’re not eligible for the playoffs. See how fast a new school opens.

    Didn’t Judson use to have a red and blue campus? A lot of these schools have all the infrastructure in place, they just don’t want to split.

    They're also trying to get the buzz around Swalwell and China going because they want to have the simplest of links between China and the Democratic party. A straight line from Xi to the Oval Office, Congress, etc.

    Oh? Eric thinks that's swell!

    Kind of a diversion but these chuckleheads are doing real damage by politicizing China.  Chinese assertiveness, malign influence, and its weaponization of economic and technical tools poses the greatest long term threat not just to the U.S. but to a stable, rules based international order.  They are ignoring the real problems and leading people to associate the threat with moonbattery.

    This is kind of like how QAnon turned child abuse and human trafficking (which are real and horrible) into a topic for cranks and racists. 

  9. Two elementary school kids on online school cause of the ‘rona and I am on home office 2-3 days a week to keep numbers in the office down.   No school lunches and no work lunches means a hell of a lot more cooking and dirty dishes, especially because we aren’t barbarians and refuse to do the paper plate thing.

    I feel like half my life is doing dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. I get a twitch in my eye if I see one of the girls get a new water glass instead of keeping it all day.

    It will be interesting to see if Tucker, Hannity, and Laura hang around.  My guess is that they will.    They are too comfortable at FNC, and probably think OAN/Newsmax are below them.

    I'm honestly surprised Bill O'Reilly hasn't been picked up by OAN or Newsmax.

    Agree with all this. This may be the best overall Westlake team since we moved out here 6 years ago.

    Kinda sucks the difference between a state title and no state title is which of the crappy teams in our district get into the playoffs. They should rank all the teams in the state that made the playoffs and the top half to div 1 and lower half to div 2 rather than just ranking the 4 in the district. There were games this year that westlake should have lost on purpose to fall to div 2. That's a bad system.

    Don’t see how you do this without implementing a statewide seeding system like for the NCAA tournament and that opens up a massive can of worms.  A UIL committee awarding the last number one seed and trying to decide between North Shire and Southlake? We don’t need that discussion.

    You couldn’t maintain the geography based regional system.

  12. What do you call a guy with no arms and legs on your doorstep?

    Matt

    What do you call him in the bushes?

    Russell

    What if he’s hanging on the wall?

    Art

    In the ocean?

    Bob

    What if he has a shovel stuck in his head?

    Doug

    And when he pulls it out of his head?

    Douglas

  13. Fox News Fox Newsed itself.  They created an audience that expected to be fed propaganda that conformed exactly to its biases.  Then the news desk attempted to actually report a factual story and the collective rejected it because they’ve built up antibodies to the truth.  
     

    The schadenfreude is delicious.

    Slocum’s Razor.




    They do always come home to this. “If you take out the big cities”.....which is really dog whistle for “if you eliminate minority votes.”

    They hold firm to a worldview that the country should be governed exclusively by white male rural landowners. Fuck, they outright SAY it out loud several times (“the country will get less white”).

    They are a toxic stew of racism, insanity, and stupidity.

    Yossarian had stopped playing chess with him because the games were so interesting they were foolish. Then there was the educated Texan from Texas who looked like someone in Technicolor and felt, patriotically, that people of means - decent folk - should be given more votes than drifters, whores, criminals, degenerates, atheists and indecent folk - people without means.
