    Harris is the tire breaker.  It should pass 51-50, right?   I thought there were some republicans that were in favor of the $2K last time around, do they change just because it is a different president? I know, stupid question.

     

    Not necessarily. Rubio is still supporting it.

    And we need to protect the natural beauty. Within a decade, Trumpistan would have it fully clear cut and covered in nuclear waste and other pollution. Future MAGA generations will work as children sifting through the dump for copper.  Any independent Trump state is going to make a Mumbai slum look environmentally clean in comparison.

    Montana is nowhere near peak Trumpdom.

    You're right.  They did re-elect a Dem governor in 2016 when Trump won the state and re-elected a Dem senator in 2018 when Democrats didn't do so hot in Senate races.  They did neither in 2020.  They did legalize weed though. 

    They certainly aren't Idaho, Wyoming or the Dakotas.  They'd be a fun little independent country. 

  4. I'd say the frontrunners are Liberty and somewhere in Florida.  Don't think Florida has a Presidential Library, just a museum (Harry Truman Little White House in Key West). 

    Texas A&M would blow up the Bush Library to get it.  He's dead, who cares. But that seems like a long shot.

    It's going somewhere, they are planning on it already:

  5. There doesn't really exist a viable Magastan that doesn't put certain states in an island - Arizona is needed to connect Colorado and New Mexico to the People's Republic of America on the west coast, but is it blue enough now to be part of the PRA?  Otherwise, those 2 states are surrounded on all sides. 

    Georgia would be on an island - it's the only state in the U.S. that voted for Biden and is surrounded completely by Trump states.

    Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan would be landlocked around Magastan, with the only way to get to the northeast part of America without crossing Magastan by land would be a bridge across Lake Erie

    I believe he was the guy we sent to New Orleans to clean up the Katrina shitshow IIRC.

    Correct

     He gained media celebrity and accolades for his apparent turning around of the situation in the city as well as his gruff management style which contrasted with what many felt were the empty platitudes of civilian officials. In one widely played clip, Honoré was seen on the streets of the city, barking orders to subordinates and, in one case, berating local police officers who were displaying their weapons as they rode past him. "We're on a rescue mission, damn it!" Honoré shouted. [5] New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin was quoted on a radio interview September 1, 2005, saying: "Now, I will tell you this—and I give the president some credit on this—he sent one John Wayne dude down here that can get some stuff done, and his name is Gen. Honoré. And he came off the doggone chopper, and he started cussing and people started moving. And he's getting some stuff done."

  7. DC Statehood, while complicated bc of the 23rd amendment, makes more sense to me after what we witnessed on January 6.  If DC had their own national guard, a lot less shit would have happened. 

  8. It's bad enough he's an Okie, but he is one of us (UT class of 1990)

    Oklahoma GOP Senator Is Sorry His Effort to Delegitimize the Election Offended Black Constituents

    Quote

    “What I did not realize was all of the national conversation about states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, was seen as casting doubt on the validity of votes coming out of predominantly Black communities like Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Detroit,” Lankford wrote. “After decades of fighting for voting rights, many Black friends in Oklahoma saw this as a direct attack on their right to vote, for their vote to matter, and even a belief that their votes made an election in our country illegitimate.”

    Anyone who is a registered republican should be absolutely embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

    Also Bush left office with a 34% approval rating.  Good job Donald, you have beaten that! As you will leave office with an approval rating in the 20s.

    Defending national champs start the season tomorrow against ULL. We lost our two best players from last year who decided to go pro instead of sticking around with their extra year of eligibility, but we still have a solid young team. I think our preseason rank of #6 is a bit high for this team but I could see us competing for the Big 12 title. 5 of the 6 Big 12 teams are ranked in the top 25 and the other team is still receiving votes so it's gonna be a grind as usual. 

    Interesting.  The ITA rankings go:

    • 6 TCU
    • 6 Texas
    • 14 OSU
    • 15 Baylor
    • 24 Tech
    • RV Oklahoma

    But the Big 12 preseason poll goes:

    1. TCU
    2. Baylor
    3. OSU
    4. Texas
    5. OU
    6. Tech
  11. The much championed CASH Act by the left darlings like AOC and passed the House and advocated by Sanders accomplished the exact same thing as Biden’s plan - $1400 more to add up to a $2000 stimulus. It’s a second portion of your second stimulus  

    Now they suddenly want $2600. 

    Do I think it’ll end up $2000 checks in the end? Probably, with enough pressure.

    I’m about 95% sure US House Rep Roger Williams TX-25 is here at Lavaca Street Bar on South Lamar right now if anyone wants to give him bad looks from a responsible social distance. 

    Go punch him in the cunt.

    I’m also on team cunt punch
