    I'd love to know how much of the real estate boom in Texas and elsewhere is laundered cartel money. Back in the day, it just built Miami. Now I think it's all over the place. It cracks me up when I pick up some society rag in Houston and they are introducing some new power couple from south of the border...Dude is always described as being into "international finance" and the chick is a "philanthropist."

    So many fucking Bond villains in Houston. It's wild.  

    It built quite a few new digs on the frontera as far back as I can remember. 

    Bond villains in Houston, doesn’t even count the commodities traders who get sued by each other. Nothing like embezzlement and using the corporate card on personal shit, bankrupting the company. 
    Plenty of shady people/money, non-liquid $100k faux-millionaires in Houston.

    A lot of real ones too.

  2. CJNG has been the up and comer. They is fairly new, but yeah they violent af, even compared to other carteleros. And that’s saying a lot. 

    The question is after they bury The Diaz Brothers like cockaroaches (read: most of the other less powerful cartels), do they go after Sinaloa...? Or do they just carve it all up between the two?

    There’s plenty of money to be made and shared.

    if the daily texan posters could keep focused on the details of an event, rather than the politics of it, it could stay in daily texan.

    All of this.
    I, for one, would benefit and enjoy a grown folk discussion on the policy and the geopolitical movidas. 
    Alas, it seems almost impossible without someone trying to be clever by throwing infantile feces and sophomoric sound bites, in order to quench their insatiable thirst to play gotcha. 

    As someone who has been in the federal government relations space for decades, it’s a sad commentary on the current discourse (or lack thereof) within the country. We can be better than this, because we have been in the not so distant past.
    It can start here, but there has to be the will to do so.

    abbott and patrick told him to play dumb. im just wondering who's going to be the sacarficial lamb ? maybe the board resignations are enough. the only thing im sure of, Texas consumers are going to get screwed over  

    I’m not sure I agree with you a 100% on your police work there, Lou.

    DeAnn is not going to be showing up on the Women over 40 or Sugar Baby threads, but I am pretty sure... she’s of the female variety.

    It strikes me as curious that this happens on the heels of the news about the change in US-Saudi relations re:Khashoggi disclosures and Biden-King phone call (posted in middle east quagmire thread this morning).

    Say more please. What makes it curious to you?
    Sunnah a biatch. Shiite could be going down. 

  6. I’m waiting for the hot takes from University of Wikipedia graduates, who majored Middle Eastern Studies and minored in Islam.
    I’m also anticipating with baited breath for analyses by The University of Google Assistant Professors who wax and wane in their Geopolitical Conflict classes.

  7. -17 in Denver on business trip. All meetings for multiple days were canceled. LoDo was completely shutdown so stayed in hotel most of the time. Hungarian girlfriend (no pics) had flown there to hang. And hang we did.
    A week later, a podiatrist sent me the bill for the procedure to uncurl all 10 of her toes. Don’t care... had seks. 

    119 in Phoenix business trip. Dry heat, humid heat. Doesn’t matter. 119 is 119 and it’s too fucking hot. Fuck Phoenix summers.

    We had already made a purchase of some bags of mulch and bales of peat moss for the spring spruce up and had stacked them in the garage against the wall where the outdoor faucet is; it always makes it a little more difficult to get out of the car, but normally it is only for a week or two. Now we may have a little insulation there or a big muddy mess when this is over.

    We are Team No Outdoor Drip. We do open the cupboards and have a faucet drip inside at night, though.

     

    Crazy neighbor up the street that has the truck too big to fit in the garage has the door up and no faucet protection. If it wasn't so slippery out, I would go sightsee to observe. He's super cranky and the next doors will call for a welfare check if necessary.

    Do you drip hot handle to the faucets as well or just cold handle? What about shower heads... do you drip?

  9. Off the top of my head, I can add just two for each sport that haven’t been mentioned (or I may have overlooked):

    NFL: Barry Sanders, Lawrence Taylor 

    CFB: Tommie Frazier, Bo Jackson

    MLB: Pete Rose, Greg Maddux 

    NBA: Jerry West (he’s on the damn logo for a reason), Julius Erving 

    Tennis: Arthur Ashe, Martina Navratilova

    Boxing: Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano

    Hockey: Mario LeMieux, Mark Messier 

    Golf: Ben Hogan, Gary Player

    Soccer: Garrincha, Gigi Buffon

    Olympics: Jim Thorpe, Carl Lewis 

    BTW Jackie Robinson lettered in 4-sports at UCLA. That’s unreal.

    And speaking of Olympics ... this Olympian broke the Olympic record of the 200 in 1936... and only Placed silver, .4 seconds behind Jesse Owens. 

    When he returned back home to states, in Pasadena, there wasn’t much glory or celebration for him, other than his family and friends. The only job he could get when he returned was to be a street sweeper.

    That man was Mack Robinson... Jackie’s older brother.

    The more you know...

    Also, no one here is keeping black people out. Our soil sucks for raising cotton. If you knew your history, you would also realize that's why the Hill Country has a very low Black demographic as well. No fields to work as slaves or later as sharecroppers.

    CHIEF

    I’m no historian, but you may want to talk to those multigenerational Tejanos and Austinites about this, my good man. 
    This is what they call, a teachable moment.

    There are many of the “old families” who lived in Hornsby Bend and other places near the city (Austin)who did plenty of sharecropping and picking cotton (fruits and vegetables too) “in the hill country.”

    In short, we brown folk picked cotton and were also sharecroppers in the area. How do I know? My grandmother and her whole family did it. And they weren’t the only browns that moved from that land to La Loma, Hungry Hill, Govalle and Montopolis.

    The African-American population may not have been large ...  maybe because we were doing most of that work back then my man.

  11. You may be big, but if you wanna see how bad you are, c’mon!

    You don’t run this deposition, do you understand?

    You watch and see big boy. 
    You ain’t telling me a god damn thing.

    Don’t be telling another lawyer to shut up. That ain’t your god damn job fat boy!

    do you only buy them in person in El Paso or are there (much better) deals to be had in person there?

    Yes sir. Much better. A couple of years ago, paid $250 for a pair of black lizards that were regular $600.
    It’s the factory outlet. 

  13. I only wear Lucchese. That’s just how I roll. May fly to El Paso soon, as I need a pair caiman, alligator or crocodiles. 
    Get some L&J Cafe afterward or a double at Chico’s tacos.
