I guess he is also counting on maintaining a Senate majority. This action guarantees a new Judiciary Act next year with a Biden Presidency and 50/50 Senate. If he leaves it alone right now, the Dems won't even try to pack the court.

I dont see how they can enforce either option right now. I wouldn't be surprised for them to try the Great Firewall option though. Blocking Tik Tok would just be getting the camel's nose in the tent as far as government control of traffic. Then, after the election, they can go after the BBC, UN, and others as they consolidate power and clamp down on opposition speech. Also, Oracle buying it is a bad move for Oracle. The only companies who do these types of buyouts that know how to maintain the user base are facebook and Google. And even they fail sometimes. Users will flee OracleTok in droves. There are already growing alternatives.

Trump can only pardon federal crimes. Barr's alleged acts with minors are state and territory crimes. They can't be pardoned.

I respect your opinion and understand it, but I don't think its all that odd. I post on this board because I'm an alumni and a fan of UT sports. But I also paid to attend UT and continued to pay for around 10 years after I attended. Honestly, I'm really not interested in paying for scholarships through donations. Private funds should pay for those. I'm also not interested in paying for upgrades to infrastructure. State funds should pay for those. However, I could be interested in donations that lower overall tuition for everyone. When that starts happening transparently, I may start donating. But honestly, the above paragraph is a pre-covid assessment. Right now, I'm lucky to still be doing well. My charity money used to be split between a variety of things, but it was mostly legal aid. All of it now currently goes to local food banks and homeless outreach. If I had an extra $100 to give to UT right now, I'd instead give $100 more to them. My relatively wealthy urban neighborhood has 3 church based food banks with lines that circle the block every day. It isn't the time for an actually wealthy university to ask for money. I don't really care if the climbing wall at Gregory is getting old.

I guess he finally learned how Texas fared at the Alamo. Do they not teach Texas history in 7th grade anymore?

You son of a bitch. You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you? You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the head stones. You only moved the head stones. Why? Why?

Is that true? Never knew that if so.

I'm a life member. I have gotten close to zero personal value from it except for the license plate frame. I'm glad that money goes/went to students and I don't have a problem at all with it being open sign up. Still, I don't see why anyone that isn't a Texas Ex would want to sign up to be one. There are other/better ways to get money to charity even if your only goal is to get money to current/future UT students. But, I will say my charitable dollars have gone elsewhere for 10 to 15 years now, and with other (to me at least) more pressing needs taking my limited charity dollars, it is unlikely that I'll donate to UT again any time soon. Yet I still get hammered with these emails.

This always happens to average to almost great teams that can't get over the hump and tread playoff water for years around a player while topping out as a conference final loser every now and then. Have to tank next year and get into the lottery. A 96-97 Spurs season where Robinson's injury year ended up being a blessing in disguise.

Well, competence does matter in the end. With BoJo, you can get all the xenophobia of Trump, but with somebody that isn't a complete idiot when you need to battle pandemics or do other shit.

Police unions won't be happy with that. The war on drugs funds quite a bit. In spite of the anti-socialist rhetoric, when you consider the military and law enforcement, more state employees vote GOP for socialized job guarantees than vote Dem.

Nah. Liberals are still against the Patriot Act, unlawful surveillance, and the growth of the police state. They are also against Russian state interference in our elections, and against our population in general. Your constant misdirection continues to be transparent. You approve of Russian interference and because of that you try to steer conversation toward your red herring. Everyone on the Mueller thread agrees that the FBI overstepped, but unlike you, they actually want to get to the bottom of Russian interference. You want to avoid criticizing or discussing Russia at all. I will say that I once thought you actually had some type of "true belief" regarding the IC and surveillance. But now, we have a whole thread on Bill Barr, current head of most of the IC you claim to hate. He happens to also use his power in more unlawful ways than anyone in decades. You don't even offer a peep of discontent with him. In fact, on the Bill Barr thread, you have posted only 2 sets of comments. The first a complaint about the thread name being changed, and the second a complaint about Nadler.

Second? Barr takes shits that are more traitorous than Trump. Not that Trump doesn't try. He was 100% involved with Epstein. Still, when and if he goes down, that will probably never come up.

Just wait until 3-0 Ohio State is ranked ahead of 11-1 Texas. Cuz thats happening. If we can actually get 11 wins.

Furk.

They were also the last team to go from 3-0 to losing a series. And agree. Helo is a legit fan. He has no proper reason to be a legit Yankee fan, but he is.

Again, those disinformation clowns are of your making. Surely when you decided to protect external disinformation peddlers because you thought it benefited you, you also understood that you really had no control over what they may choose to spread in the future. Maybe next time man the floodgates with the rest of us instead of trying to actively break them.

To be clear, triple falls for Russian propaganda. Anastasis works to make sure that Russian propaganda can always continue unabated. In this case, Anastasis isn't happy with the outcome, but when you train pit bulls to fight, eventually one is going to bite you. Perhaps Anastasis needs to ask Putin for a transfer to the content team. Surely, his fine work on the protection and obfuscation team will be rewarded.

You should feel terrible. Not for triple though. For your lack of a moral compass. You would "both sides" between a nuclear bomb and a rotten eggplant until the nuclear bomb exploded.

But that water goes right through you. How would you know?

Dodge again. So you know it's your fault. Good. You're at step 1.

Dodge again. You made triple. Own it. It's your fault he believes what he does. I know you like to make out with your dog. You said that on the other thread. Quit dodging.

Austin makes better vodka than Russia. They are more about quantity than quality. But Russians don't smell at all. They just age fast. That 75 year old babushka you see is actually 35 and looked like a model when she was 22. You are protecting the Russian government. At this point, you aren't even concealing it effectively. Why?

Interesting dodge again. Well, not really. Should we continue in Russian?

There is more to being Anastasis' acolyte than just blowing him in the rectory. You are gonna have to educate yourself better than your associates degree. Maybe learn Russian too.
