  1. Yeah, I would be surprised if Abbott ran. He blew it and he n ver could hold Daddy Trump’s attention for very long. Cancun Cruz is a joke but he still think he’s a viable candidate. Yeah, but his wife is not going to let him set around the house.
  2. Oh and Kristi Noem will throw her hat in the ring as well because we need all of the cartoon characters running again.
  3. Hopefully people realize that.
  4. He’s as charismatic as Vance or Cruz.
  5. I still kind of like Ultima Online.
  6. And a nice little war with Venezuela and maybe in Nigeria will do wonders for oil prices. Edit: When do we stop pretending Venezuela is about drugs and more about the largest oil reserve in the world?
  7. If the GOP does as poorly as expected next year, which they probably will, donors and voters will be looking for somebody not tainted by all of the Trump shit. They will be looking for a John McCain or Mitt Romney. There is already infighting in his cabinet that has spilled out into the public, already talk of 2028 with Cruz trying to position himself as an alternative. Trump is losing control of Congress and the Republican factions in the two chambers are pissed at each other. The Senate is even trying to get their “my phone records were subpoenaed so pay me” stuff added back in.
  8. Dead American troops in a war that is unnecessary usually don’t play well with a lot of folks.
  9. Boss Tweed and Tammany Hall have got nothing on these people
  10. Texas will never stop being Texas,
  11. Ron DeSantis has to be pretty happy he’s not involved in this shitshow of an administration. When Trump says he can’t release most of the Epstein files and when we invade Venezuela and start prepping for Nigeria, it’s going to start peeling off a lot of votes for next November.
  12. Yeah, at least when I saw that the PBS Ken Burns stuff was available there, they had a deal for $1.25 a month for two months and then $5 after that.
  13. One of them is, they’ve shown artillery units firing decorated shells. ”OU Sucks” is a pretty short message.
  14. Wonder why they put so much effort into that plant, other than it’s one of the larger ones near Moscow. Also they did the follow up during the daytime lol.
  15. We figured that was part of it, but she could have stuck around longer. If she’s bailing well before the primary, something is up. She was out there screaming about the files being held back were covering for somebody, but she wouldn’t say Trump.
  16. I put it at 75% or greater at this point. We are barreling down the road towards it and somebody appears to have cut the brakes. We are laying way too much groundwork. This is not trying to stop some drugs or intimidate Maduro.
  17. You only need to look at how Russians treat wounded Russians. American soldiers will risk their lives and move heaven and hell to help their wounded buddies, Russians have been caught on video executing them, and Russian officers deliberately report KIAs as MIAs so that families don’t get benefits. That Russian loyalty may be transactional, but their whole society is pretty fucked up. The best and brightest fled in 2022/2023.
  18. It was not over capacity. In the spring, they were told they were under capacity. More importantly, parents were told that portables would be moved into Lamar so that Lamar classrooms would not be packed to the walls when they were going to close the middle schools for this fall. AISD had no problems with portables when they needed to placate parents over class sizes being too big at Lamar. Portables became bad over the summer when AISD needed them to count against schools. Bond money that was already allocated was not being used at BW that would’ve addressed certain issues that were also used against it. Other schools received their bond money within that timeframe, ours certainly did, and a lot of our stuff was not critical. When we drove by BW every now and then, there was one of those big bond money signs out front and then apparently it mysteriously disappeared in the lead up to all of this. It’s a hot mess on AISD’s part and I’m very concerned about the boundary changes that were coming out of that because they affected my kids’ middle school and high school, and because they seemed to have lost focus on the state takeover. And I wonder what else was going on. Moving forward, AISD Needs to be hyper-focused on the state takeover and I’m concerned that they won’t be. If or when the state takes over, there will be more than enough parents who have the means who will move their kids to private schools, and plenty of parents on the fringes of Austin who may not be able to afford a fancy private school, but maybe tempted to move a few miles down the road to a different school district. A lot more schools would have to be closed if that happens, and I don’t see those students coming back to AISD when the state lets it go several years down the road.
  19. $19.99 for me as well. That’s a hard pass. I’m about to shell out for Zootopia 2.
  20. So are we invading Nigeria or Venezuela on the morning of December 19?
  21. Unless you’re in Utah.
  22. "Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool. If Administration officials are more concerned with appeasing Putin than securing real peace, then the President ought to find new advisors. Rewarding Russian butchery would be disastrous to America’s interests. And a capitulation like Biden’s abandonment of Afghanistan would be catastrophic to a legacy of peace through strength." ——- Comparing him to Biden is the chef’s kiss and bound to piss of Trump.
  23. Maybe an extinction-level event for the GOP. She is holding out for her pension, but may get out early enough not to be too tainted (helped that she was the loudest out there pushing for the release). I know we think it's about the primary, but she might be self-aware enough and willing to leave office and come back later on after the dust settles.
