  1. Lulz ... this is too good. From the thread re: Beard passing on their job.

  2. I'd like to acknowledge that yesterday was, low-key, the best day for liberal democracy in the US since after the election. Cory Booker made a historical, 25-hour-long, record-breaking marathon of a speech (my gawd, he didn't take a leak, or shit, for an entire fucking day at the age of 56!). He brought passion and literally showed America how to stand up for democracy and put a spotlight on our broken system of government and this corrupt regime. I know we're not normal, but I think he caught America's attention. It's only a start, but we've got to start somewhere. The people of Wisconsin literally stopped the shadow president and richest man in America from buying a Supreme Court election, thereby ensuring a fairer Congressional District map and, therefore, increasing the odds that their delegation will better reflect the will of Wisconsinites (a reminder that this purple state's current delegation is comprised of 6 Republicans and only 2 Democrats because of extreme Gerrymandering). It's only a start, but we've got to start somewhere. So, props to you, Senator Booker, and the people of Wisconsin. The fight has only just begun, and we've still got this nightmare ahead of us. We had to start somewhere.

  3. For 10 years it's been "the democrats should do this, or that, or this...." when I think the problem is that it's really tough to counter telling shitty people that it's perfectly ok for them to be as shitty as they want. There is no "left" version of that.

  4. I listened and was really disappointed that she ignored or glossed over several aspects of broader economic policy. She points out that the wealthy pay a vast majority of taxes overall, which is true, but doesn't once mention U.S. wealth disparity and its change over the last 50+ years. The fact that the top 1% or so control so much of the country's wealth is a problem not to mention how it affects the calculus. The boomer generation didn't have CEO's making 300%-400% more than the average worker and didn't have an investor class controlling so much of corporate profits. Instead, they shared in enough of that revenue to afford education, healthcare, have kids, buy a home and a couple of cars, take vacations, and still have a nice savings account, all while paying enough in taxes to build the federal interstate system and pay for expansion of roads, utilities, and infrastructure into the sprawling suburbs. A massive majority of today's working class lives paycheck to paycheck, can be bankrupted by a health episode, can't afford a home, can't afford to have kids, have to take on a lifetime's worth of debt to attend college, and not only lack savings but are drowing in credit card debt. There isn't much capacity for them to pay much more in taxes, meanwhile the people who control that much wealth continue to advocate for and get tax cuts while our roads and bridges and schools and rural hospitals crumble. She also mentions that the wealthy make a lot of money through capital gains that are taxed at a lower rate but doesn't discuss at all wheather it makes sense any more, especially for individuals, and considering that to gain wealth in that manner requires wealth to start, so the advantage is accessible to very few who are already wealthy. I just wasn't all that impressed with her presentation, felt like a Heritage Foundation white paper, which it basically was considering her admitted background.

  17. I saw a few bits and pieces of what he said. It was amazing to hear a politician talk like that. I genuinely do think he is sorry and that he does care about Americans. Anyone that wants to bring the negativity with Booker right now can kick rocks. If you are unable to appreciate what this man just did just sit down and keep the negativity to yourself. Better yet just shut up completely if you have nothing positive to add to Booker doing something like this. These are the moments that galvanize people to do better. I’m actually really proud of him for this and glad it took Strom Thurmond’s name from the history books. Booker is good people.

  18. I'm confused. If our background check turned up so many issues with Beard, why did A&M want to hire him? And in what world is 3.5 weeks firing someone "immediately"? Beard was given plenty of chances to at least act contrite but he chose to double down. I'd call that another red flag, Billy.

  20. he looked terrible for the last few years so I can't say I'm surprised. I will die on the hill that his performance as Doc Holliday is as good as any actor has ever done any role.

  22. All this is true. I heard a law professor on NPR yesterday and she was quoting everything quoted above re the 12th and 22nd Amendments. She finished with the following point, and I paraphrase: So? Who is going to stop this person who has so far not been bound by Constitutional laws and norms? Is the most ineffectual and compliant Republican Congress ever going to stop him? Is there an expectation that he will suddenly say to himself, "Well, now I've just gone too far."? There is nothing in what we know of him so far that would lead anyone to believe this to be the case. So we should expect the unthinkable, as that's what we've witnessed from him so far.

  23. More practice reporting sadness from Carter Karels below in the spoiler. Highlights: -From reading the thread and some others, it actually sounds like they have to pass their notes through someone in the football office before they're allowed to publish anything. I find that disturbing and extraordinary. -They're putting Hicks in a starting slot during spring practice to prevent transfer concerns, but everyone and their mother knows that the Iowa State transfer was made starting promises to ink there in this last cycle. -The DE and LB positions look like absolute dogshit. I am not sure safety or CB are much better. -Bryce Anderson has made around $350k in his career at ATM. They've completely destroyed his NFL potential and he's just generally "in the mix" at safety. Congrats, buddy! Sorry Sarkisian hurt your mom's feelings once! -From what I can tell, this team doesn't have a gamebreaker at any position, on either side of the ball.

  24. Remember how "out-of-state billionaires interfering in our elections!" was such a battle cry for.....the exact same people who are cheering on Elon? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Billionaires are a virus.

"WASHINGTON/PARIS, April 2 (Reuters) - U.S. officials have told European allies they want them to keep buying American-made arms, amid recent moves by the European Union to limit U.S. manufacturers' participation in weapons tenders, five sources familiar with the matter told Reuters"
