  1. Did you know their fathers knew each other in college?
  2. I believe it’s a downballot GOTV, registration and fundraising coordination role. I’m not sure how important it is- what’s important is that the last one was a casualty of the ongoing civil war inside the Texas GOP and the position is unfilled because the executive committee and county orgs are riven by dissent and factional conflict. or so looks from the outside, anyway.
  3. Worth mentioning that the Texas GOP is in disarray at the moment, basically absent in support of the least popular GOP presidential nominee and the least popular GOP incumbent senator in this era, with Democrats in a good mood for one. This is a golden opportunity to win a statewide race. Where is Allred?
  4. Is it wrong that I kinda want this? I’ve got a Chairman Mao watch. I’ve paid more for tackier shit, too.
  5. I have been telling people that if they didn’t like America they should do that for 40 years. Glad Putin is making it official.
  6. Competent? Oh, not hardly. Not even close. She's middle of the pack. But she's very responsive to her constituents and the general public, very earnest, and takes the job very seriously, which makes her one of the better members. Similar to Ellen Troxclair before her, I don't like who she has chosen to truck with in state politics but she represents her district well and deserves to keep the job. I think that's true, but more importantly I think it's fair to say that the job means something real to her beyond being able to make a low six figures income.
  7. Imagine if Colin Allred and his campaign weren’t so terrible. They raised a shit ton of money, though.
  8. She didn’t mention price controls or anything like it, but whatever I guess. Seriously Harris should just coast on vibes. This isn’t a policy election, and there's no upside to talking about any policy that doesn’t have a clear, immediate and tangible impact on virtually the entire population, ie, taking weed off schedule one, Medicare for all, etc.
  9. Even Austin’s most prolific twitter edgelord is confused
  10. He just shows up on my computer and phone screens, unbidden and unwelcome, to harrass me with semi-comic nonsequiturs. He’s like Max Headroom.
  11. Has anyone seen the movie “Lagaan: One Upon a Time in India?” This is what I’m talking about, with these ethnic enclaves in our country, it can make the whole area smell of toasted cumin and delicious, fresh roti.
  12. Sure. Price controls are restrictions on prices, set by a central authority. This ain’t that. This proposal would expand the scope of FTC’s oversight to include wholesale market power in food commodities and to remind the DOJ that antitrust regs exist. And possibly institute price gouging bans at the federal level similar to what already exists in most states. It’s not a matter of daylight. Calling this “price controls” is a Pavlovian response trained into the media and citizens by rent-seekers working the refs.

  14. Just two guys being dudes and talking about normal stuff with normal beards and not being weird.
