  1. But it wasn’t about party or the other side. It’s oligarchy. Parties don’t mean anything and ideology is bullshit. Politics is about who, not what.
  2. Intense opposition within the kingmaker class of Austin politics- the clubs, David Butts and his crowd, the ANC executive committee, that one guy who calls himself “Save Our Springs” while openly advocating for sprawl, various Eastside shakedown artists, etc. The roughly ~100 people who effective chose every member of the city council from 1994-2014. That cartel relied on people not paying attention to local government and moving to November elections is how that cartel was broken.
  3. I like it. A few years ago we did this in Austin. The local Democratic machine tried to stop it because (and this argument was made out loud, in public) there was a risk that a Republican would wind up on the city council. That’s not a good reason.
  4. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!

  6. Got to it late today Wordle 1,469 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  7. This 2000’s retro craze is really taking off. Girls are wearing low rise jeans with crop tops and it’s socially acceptable to call Muslims terrorists in public again.
  8. Government can make markets more or less efficient, but trying to control markets is like trying to control weather: you can try!
  9. “Except when they do or it’s Kacsmaryk” - John Roberts, probably
  10. It’s a good campaign strategy if people either believe it or don’t care.
  11. I agree with you on principle, but to be fair Mamdani promised some very silly and fantastical things.
  12. Governing well is the only thing that matters, but winning is the only requirement.
  13. But seriously, it’s like the Greg Casar. There are Democrats in Austin who want to “solve the Casar Situation.” Thats stupid. Greg wins. Democrats should embrace winners. If this guy can win consistently, they should embrace him too.
  14. I’m sitting in my office in midtown right now, so this hits close to home.

  16. My policy is fast cars, big tits, and loud rock and roll.
  17. He kinda looks like Looch there. The person, not the shrimp.
  18. And it’s not close

  21. Not only that, but I think they also have maternity packages in New Jersey.
  22. NYC isn’t very representative of the country, so I honestly don’t think this says anything about national politics. But what it really underscores is the stupidity of partisan elections at the municipal level and the strong mayor system in big cities. What NYC deserves and can’t get is an apolitical professional city manager. Local issue is local
  23. No I don’t and didn’t. as for the rest … take a deep breath Brian.
  24. If they did, that’s truly abhorrent. That said, most of what I’ve seen along those lines is evidence of the “911 was an inside job” variety. So let me get this straight- you’re affronted that I call Hamas a terrorist organization and an Iranian proxy, but at the same time you’re of the opinion that the Netanyahu regime was aware of a coming terrorist attack by Hamas via their intel on Iran. Therefore, I have my head in the sand.
