  1. How much longer until we see a proposal for a DC Colloseum? Complete with the Trump Games using immigrants and liberals as the lion bait.
  2. No problem. That's your forte. Lead on.
  3. So I talked to Chair Scudder today, and he is still willing to come take the slings and arrows you guys want to toss at the TDP. I am figuring some night the week starting on 8/11. Would hold a zoom where you all will get an invite link posted here and can attend incognito. Would start at 8. I just want you folks to let me know which night is best for you all. I'm not sure how to do a poll in here, and think maybe you have to start a new thread, so I will just keep an informal tally from responses here. Hardball questions are ok, but trolling is not.
  4. I think there is more than the sexual stuff that he's concerned about. I think he did some shady financial stuff that could have double crossed someone like Putin or the like. Maybe it's something that sends him to jail, but he can get out of that. This is something that would be settled out of court somehow. Maybe not him falling out of a window, and surely he doesn't give a shit about any of his family, but whoever it is has the goods to ruin his reputation as the brilliant dealmaker who should be king.
  5. Has anyone seen the rest of the video? Did he actually play that ball? He could have addressed it and then stepped back, realizing it wasn't his and prompted a further search. I know it's Trump and I know he cheated, but this really isn't evidence without seeing him play the shot and also what his scorecard says for the hole. Would certainly be interesting to see someone question him about it live. "If you cheat at a game to win it, what else do you cheat at?"
  6. The reason those tickets cost so much more was the aggie delusion machine that for years has convinced the aggies that no matter how much better the horns were coming into the game, that the 12th man would carry them to victory. That pricing was due to cult being on one side of the ticket.
  7. If that dress was valued at $19K initially, I have wonder how much it would bring at auction right now? Seems AOC wearing it probably increased the value of the dress as well as the designer. Thinking somehow she should get credit for that which would probably offset the increase of the rent.
  8. Yeah, these maps are mainly red herrings. They are not going to reveal the true maps until they bring them up to vote. That keeps the protests down and basically toothless because how can you testify against something that isn't publicly proposed.
  9. I've been to Mimsy's. It's about an hour from the park and leona is about 5 minutes. If Pinkerton's is a 10, then Mimsy's is about a 6.5 IMO.
  10. You'll just add to the ambience.
  11. https://leonageneral.com/
  12. Yes, I see your point here. I think he is more trying to point out the hypocrisy, but I'm not big on the WWJD stuff either. It was more than the church who influenced my views on what it meant to be a good person. Somehow we have to allow that good citizens who care about other humans as people are not exclusive to the christian church. Those two circles don't perfectly overlap in a Zen diagram.
  13. Not real sure about invoking, but I do like when he uses the Bible and his own experiences to call out the hypocrisy under the dome.
  14. There was a Mr Gatti's there where 19th and the Drag intersected. At least in 76-78 or so. And my breakast more days than not on campus debarking shuttle buses at Littlefield fountain I hated when they ran off the private vendors and replaced them with the Union crap carts.
  15. I have done my best to keep up with this thread, so it's possible I have missed some of the discussions. I have a couple of questions though: 1) I am assuming there are people from both sides of the aisle listed, so did Biden's admin slow roll the investigation and exposure of those on the right (including Trump) to cover for those in his camp? Has anyone seen anything that credibly links Biden to enjoying any of Epstein's offerings, either from the trafficking or money laundering? Or was the slow roll due to DOJ needing time to build a solid case, knowing they'd only have one chance? 2) Figure Trump is up to his neck in this from both the financial angle, as well as trafficking. Which is more likely to trip him up? I keep thinking about Al Capone and tax evasion charges. 3) With as many people privy to these files, regardless of NDAs and other legal constraints, I think Trump knows that if they release compromised copies of the files (ones that redact him) that will be his undoing when the coverup becomes the story, since you know someone will leak the real items. So best to just bury it all now? If someone were to release even excerpts of the files, the administration would have to rebutt that with actual documents? 4) I get the idea that this will be used to get Trump to gracefully step down, or be exposed as the fraud he is. A move most likely brought on by the uber wealthy and tech bros in order to get him out and someone less problematic into office. What is the probability that that power cluster has no more use for Trump and has been looking for a way to usher him out, a way that the MAGA will not rise up and make him a martyr over?
  16. Time for another CSPD and ATM athletics BBQ. Last one was what? 10 years ago?
  17. The biography of Jayne Mansfield done by her daughter Mariska Hagerty is good. I had watched JM in The Wayward Bus and enjoyed it, so gravitated to the doc. It's always interesting how many very talented and intelligent women were keyholed into their personas by the men in Hollywood and NYC. Hedy Lamarr always stood out, but also Monroe and now Mansfield. How frustrating it must have been for them to be seen only for their body or looks.
  18. Kendall Scudder acknowledges flooding, but talks about redistricting and why it's so important to Abbott. Standing up, throwing down.
  19. There is a correlation between these two.
  20. I would think kids who can command NIL type money are just as much looking to land somewhere that has the staff and facilities to develop them into high draft choices. It's a two part exam, and I don't see Sanders as having the chops or staff to pass the second part, even if CU had funds to match UT and other NIL leaders.
  21. Not to derail the thread, but who exactly are the State Police? What jurisdiction do they serve and how much power do they hold? I sure have been seeing a lot of cars and trucks lately marked as police but with no indication of what city they serve. Might be better in the ICE thread. But this is one of the trucks sent to respond in Kerr Co.
  22. Sorry, I have searched CBS News several times now with no luck. It was on the revolving one that comes through the internet several times a day, not of the actual airwaves or like CBS morning or evening news.
  23. Amidst all of this sometimes I have to stop and think about those poor teens who were acting as counselors at Mystic and the nightmares and guilt they are going to carry forever. And while I do imagine they come from privileged and affluent backgrounds, still to be placed in a position of life or death for people who trust them is not a place to put those kids. There are a thousand ways that could have been different, but there is no reason for a camp that charges that much would not have a trained adult assigned to those cabins. To have to live with the questions about whether you did something wrong, or missed some announcement, or ignored some part of a lecture on emergency response is a lot to ask those kids. Those who survived, that is. I saw a segment on CBS online Tuesday which called out the commissioner's court hard. They had quotes from Buster and his picture, explaining how he has since passed. But there was no doubt they had done their research and were casting blame on that group. I have also seen other media reports that stop just short of accusing, but lead the viewer to answer the hanging questions. Unfortunately, that just isn't enough for lots of people. They have no critical thought process.
  24. Every school in our county has an emergency response plan that covers pretty much any potential situation from fire, planes crashing into bldgs, WMDs, active shooters and even nuclear accidents. Each school has the same outline for their plan. Once the outline is laid out, then each plan is customized for each school system. For example: layouts of buildings, who is responding from where, how long it will take, etc. This way if their is ever a need for the plan, each responding group will know exactly where to look for pertinent info on just about anything. Saves time and confusion. I can imagine going to a school for a fire and the section for where to shut off electrical power is buried in some obscure bldg description section. So yes, each camp should have a plan that is customized to them, but also follows a standard layout and format, much like an MSDS sheet. Texas is so large that it is quite possible a big catastrophe can strike and the rest of the state can muster what it needs to deal with the response. To what effectiveness I can't guess. But smaller states can get hit and the whole state is now limping along and needs neighbors to come help in times of needs. That state's emergency reserves could have been wiped out or made inaccessible, while their neighbors can get to their own supply, leaving the challenge of transporting it to the areas of need as the biggest impediment. Every town has a fire/EMS department, even the really small ones. And they can handle the day to day, but they can't handle the big ones alone. That is where the idea of other states stepping up through FEMA makes sense. How many Texas firefighters went to California the last go around of wildfires? Hell, we even had Mexico come in and help us in Kerrville and they aren't even a state. WIthout FEMA the smaller and less populated states are at real risk, especially with extreme weather becoming the norm instead of the outlier.
