  1. I looked up the "Intern" on LinkedIn. Graduated TX State with a Bachelors (2010) and Masters (2013).TSU Law School (2018). He's been working for the City of Houston for ~4 years after clerking for Sheila Jackson Lee, the TX Attorney General's Office, and being a Paralegal. Based on the word "Intern" I thought this was a 19 year old side piece - not a fucking 31 year old lawyer who's got a good amount of government experience by working his way up. $95,000/yr for this guy is a fucking steal. KPRC and Buzbee are trash. Straight out of the Dotard's playbook tho, so it'll probably be effective.
  2. Yup. This loss, IMO, is 85% Deshaun 5% BOB 5% Hopkins 5% refs. Deshaun has got to throw that fucking ball away on 2 and 10 and not take a sack to make it 3 and 18. Carolina did not give a single fuck about the checkdown route and neither did Deshaun.
  3. lol I personally enjoy the reoccurring Trump Doral Burger gag. For a site that has the greatest repository on smoking brisket and ribs, y’all get soo mad at a well char-grilled piece of meat. keep them coming Bozo! it’s the little things, ya know?
  4. Refined fuels is the play IMO. Marathon Refining (MPC) is up ~14% (~$8/share) since the 14th.
  5. exhibit a: things racists say...
  6. Elizabeth Warren is the single greatest candidate the modern-left has ever ever put up for President and based on her policy positions, the most liberal if elected. If nominated, and I think she will win the nomination, I no doubt believe her get out the vote push will be record breaking as well. he’s going to win tho. because nothing fucking matters.
  7. Active Duty Army Arrested for targeting CNN? and Beto (CNN)A US Army soldier discussed bomb-making techniques and bombing a major American news network's headquarters, as well as named presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke as a possible target before being arrested this weekend, according to court documents released on Monday. Jarrett William Smith, 24, was charged with distribution of information related to weapons of mass destruction after offering to teach others bomb-making and discussing bombing the news network's headquarters, according to documents in Kansas federal court. He was stationed at Fort Riley in Kansas before his arrest on Saturday. The arrest of Smith comes amid a wave of arrests and charges the Justice Department has made disrupting possible domestic terror plots. Smith allegedly discussed with a confidential source to the FBI that "the headquarters of a major American news network would be a suggested target, utilizing a vehicle bomb," an FBI agent wrote in court papers. The news network is not named in the court documents. Smith made an initial appearance in Kansas federal court Monday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear again in federal court for a detention hearing on Thursday in Topeka. Smith's attorney did not immediately return a request for comment. According to court documents, Smith also mentioned O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, in a chat with an undercover FBI agent on September 20. The undercover agent had told Smith he was looking to target a politician, and Smith responded with instructions on making a bomb or grenade. "You got anyone down in Texas that would be a good fit for fire, destruction and death?" the undercover agent said to him. "Outside of Beto? I don't know enough people that would be relevant enough to cause a change if they died," Smith replied. The FBI had begun tracking Smith in March, who had been stationed in Texas since 2017. He was transferred to Fort Riley in July. O'Rourke campaign spokeswoman Aleigha Cavalier thanked the FBI for their work in the case. "We take any threat like this very seriously, and our team is in direct contact with the FBI regarding this case," she said. "This isn't about any one person or one campaign, and we won't let this scare us or cause us to back down in fighting for what's right." Smith had discussed as early as 2016 joining a far-right paramilitary group in Ukraine before he became a US Army soldier in 2017. He then bragged in a Facebook chat about being able to build explosives "in the style of the Afghans," the court filings said. Then, about a month ago, Smith started speaking to the FBI's confidential source and an undercover federal agent. He discussed in an online chat group plotting an attack in the US, said he was looking for other "radicals," and suggested targeting the leftist group Antifa, cell towers and a local news station, authorities allege. Separately, Smith suggested a vehicle bomb could be used to target "the headquarters of a major American news network," and gave advice on building explosives. Army Lt. Col. Terence Kelley, the director of public affairs for the 1st Infantry Division in Kansas, confirmed Smith is an active duty soldier. He said the Army cooperated with the FBI in its investigation. "These allegations violate our Army Values so we take them very seriously," Kelley said in the statement. "Our law enforcement team cooperated with the FBI on his arrest over the weekend." CNN's Jamie Crawford contributed to this report.
  8. all the usual low-lying spots on the S/SE side of Houston are flooded. OST @ Spur 5, 45SB @ Woodridge. Post Oak and 610. Med Center/Kirby are up next.
  9. HILARIOUSLY unrealistic. FOUR DISTILLATION TOWERS ARE DOWN. I'm not 100% sure on this, but without doing a lick of research I'm 99% sure that those are THE FOUR BIGGEST DISTILLATION TOWERS IN THE WORLD. the irony is though, they can honestly say with a straight face that their crude output will be back to normal relatively quickly - because that's a fucking factually correct statement. Incredibly misleading, but true and apparently effective. If anyone wants to get a lesson in framing, start right here. I've gotta hand it to the Arabs. With the Sulfur IMO Regs kicking in in 2020, betting on a refined fuels is the way to goooo. IMO.
  10. Not a refinery, as has been said a ton. ... and? If they're doing any kind of stabilization you'll still inevitably have a good bit of methane, ethane, propane, butane that was destined for some LPG facility that is now offline. you'll still have a good bit amount of resid that would need be further processed before being sent out. maybe a little less impact on traditional gasoline and diesel than I originally thought (still want to think through how off-spec "stabilized" crude will impact the liquid fuels markets), but I still don't see how light/heavy ends don't end up in short, short supply... long LPG!
  11. why is everyone so focused on the crude oil price? they hit 2 refineries that together have the ability to refine 8MM bbls/day of crude. for reference - the entire Gulf Coast can refine maybe half of that? this is a distillate, jet fuel, gasoline, diesel, naptha, LPG, heating oil, fuel oil, bunker fuel or whatever else you'd like to call it - refined fuels are fucked. everyone keeps talking about how KSA's crude oil output should be back online soon, but uh, refined fuels ain't crude oil. long Marathon and Valero. anyone know of any other public, US-based refined fuels companies not named Chevron or Exxon?
  12. bold strategy cotton, let’s see how it pays off.
  13. Friday the 13th An armed teen and a second person have been taken into custody after reports of a gunman inside a school in northwest Harris County prompted a lockdown Friday, a source said. According to authorities, reports came in around 10 a.m. that there were two possible gunmen inside Langham Creek High School in the Cy-Fair Independent School District. Deputies said the high school was put into lockdown as authorities searched the premise, but the lock down was later lifted when authorities gave the all clear. A Harris County Sheriff's office source told KPRC 2 reporter Joel Eisenbaum two people were taken into custody in connection with the incident. The person who was taken into custody is a 17-year-old and he was found in possession of a weapon, according to the source. Eisenbaum was told the incident started as a threat on social media that said the person was going to come to the school and do harm. Cy-Fair ISD Police posted a tweet around 10:30 a.m. saying all students were safe. The school was lifting the lockdown and it will resume normal business, according to the tweet. Deputies said students are being released for the day. There were no reports of any shots fired and no injuries have been reported. They got cold feet and we got lucky. Simple as that.
  14. hey man. you seem like a sane man who lost everything. if you engage with hooker, you’ll lose your sanity too. don’t do it. like everything else in life, it only takes a few people to ruin a good/any thing. hooker will always be one of these people.
  15. http:// https://m.facebook.com/groups/1455960181305551?view=permalink&id=2469491529952406&refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fmackeymedia%2Fvideos%2F10156592713773527%2F&_rdr he really is surrounded by ocean.
  16. take a step back, if Tunsil pans out this year and doesn’t get injured - there is absolutely not a single reason I can think of that Larry Tunsil shouldn’t be the highest paid LT in the league after this season. we need to pay him to keep Watson, period. everyone knows this, all they did was make public what everyone knew. now if we don’t sign him to a long term extension, burn it down. fire Bill, fuck the McNairs.
  17. If you have Instagram, follow @hurricanedorian242. it’s got some crazy videos. also, if you have Snapchat. the pull down map feature is pretty clutch. Periscope comes in third IMO because it requires a constant connection to upload, but if you find a solid feed - share that shit. this thing might put Maria, Harvey, Katrina, Andrew to shame.
  18. with Clowney out of the picture, Hopkins and JJ paid. We need to open the wallet for Watson, Tunsil, and Reid. And I think we might actually be able to do so.
