And either in those comments, or in comments on one of the YouTube videos above, people are bitching about YouTube demonetizing a bunch of the YouTube history channels that discuss World War II, as if it's some massive YouTube conspiracy to cover up WWII stuff.
I watch a bunch of those channels, and have seen many the creators of those channels explain why they initially get tagged - YouTube has in recent weeks/months, ramped up their algorithms for going after people posting pro-Nazi/racist shit, and unfortunately it's tagging the WWII/history channels (who mention Nazis or when swastikas pop up in archival footage).  They do get reinstated, but a bunch of them are taking sponsorships (World of Warships, etc.).

For whatever reason the twatter won't embed, but complete evisceration in the comments. Top notch!
Drop the "mobile" from the URL.

You shouldn't. He's not putting up $2 million because its the right thing to do, he wants to keep taxes low/regulation low etc. (unless you want to argue the merits of having two healthy parties in this country as a political necessity). He's putting up $2 million because the writing is on the wall for the next two insanely large voting blocks of generations coming up.  If R's can't try to save some face in the racist/bigot/anti-everyone different arena, they're fucked for the future. Â
Plus he's got the money sitting around doing nothing right now. Â Texas probably won't flip next year (although Trump is trying his hardest), but some areas are going to, and Straus gets to waltz in as the sane Republican while Goeb, Cruz, etc. lose their shit and scream even more about who is using what bathroom.
Plus, if the GOP really takes a hit next year, Straus could easily gun for Goeb's seat in 2022.

The QAnon folks were partly nailed on reddit for posting addresses of politicians and discussing where their school attended. Â They were warned multiple times, yet, just like a toddler or 6 year-old being told not to do something, they just couldn't help themselves. Â Same thing is going to happen here.

Should Time Magazine have withheld this photo, which shocked the shit out of Americans everywhere?

How many pictures of a dead toddler do you need to see? I don't think there is a need to show one, much less two.Â
Are they going to show pictures of every child that dies tragically ?This was a Texas-related story, so yes, it's important.  It should make everybody uncomfortable, make us think, instead of drawing out the snowflakes.
I'm more disturbed by the fact that you still read the Statesman.

The picture from 'Nam that was posted along with images from the starving kids in Biafra were just a part of my childhood. I'm not calling anyone a snowflake but reality is a bitch and seeing reality SHOULD make you weep. It's part of being human. I guess it's fair to question the "why" but that is another discussion.
Shit, just think of the dread Armybrat felt when he was seeing all of the photos that Matthew Brady and his crew were taking during the Civil War, thinking that one of those days, his grandson was going to show up in one of those photos.

QuoteThe group, called Texas Forever Forward, said it believes "Texas should embrace diversity and promote inclusive, non-discriminatory policies and laws."
Former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, a San Antonio Republican, announced Wednesday he was launching a new political action committee that he said will aim to help him continue to carry out "a thoughtful, responsible approach to governing."
The group, Texas Forever Forward, will be chaired by Straus, who said in a news release he will contribute $2.5 million from his old campaign account to the new initiative. Former Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace B. Jefferson will serve as treasurer of the group.
"We are launching this effort because I believe Texas needs leaders who are forward-looking and dedicated to bringing creative, problem-solving ideas to the new challenges our state faces as our population rapidly grows," Straus said in a statement. "It's time to unite Texas in civic participation and ensure our next decades are the very best in our long, proud journey."
QuoteWednesday’s announcement keeps Straus’ name in the political arena as he leaves the door open to running for higher office in 2022, a person familiar with the former speaker’s thinking told The Texas Tribune.
Texas Forever Forward indicated it will support candidates and causes that align with Straus and his leadership style. A news release states that the group believes "Texas should embrace diversity and promote inclusive, non-discriminatory policies and laws," and that "public education is our greatest economic development tool, and it’s critical to make meaningful, sustainable investments in Texas students."
Be interesting to see if/what he decides to run for. Â If the Texas GOP takes a hit next year, and it will on some level, he's liable to persuade some of the BMDs to side with him when they see the Goeb wing having problems winning.

Mueller's open testimony to the House is going to lead to some spectacular tweets and rants.

And none of them are going to go to the White House if they win. It will be great when he pulls that uninvited shit like he did for the Warriors on the actual US national team.
The real sad part though is that the men's national team will never deserve an invite.
Give it a generation or two - with the demographic changes, we will eventually see a men's national team that can win.

Places like TexAgs, Free Republic, etc. are full of cowards who would never risk their lives for a better future for their kids.  It’s amazing how most of these folks are descended from people who did risk their lives for a better future, we are talking many within 5-6 generations, and somehow in those 5-6 generations they’ve lost their spines.  Their ancestors would be ashamed of them.
Actually, what’s truly amazing, is how many of these people call themselves good parents and good Christians while thinking nothing of that photo.

Ugh - right. I meant had not been released in *hi-def* (Blu-Ray) before. Good catch, thanks.
I was partly just commenting on why one should be excited for this. Â A few months ago, I went to buy a set, and it was nuts. Â Thankfully our library had a copy and I watched it there. Â Want this in BRDÂ so bad. Â

I chuckle when the ultra-rich cities (and I live in Seattle) claim that it's not a local issue and they need state or federal money. Yes, folks in Fresno should be taxed and their money sent to SF to address SF's homeless problem. Maybe Texas can tax taxpayers in Del Rio or Beaumont and send that money to Austin. The ultra-rich cities have ultra-rich people. Tax them if you need money.
Most of the homeless people from Beaumont or Del Rio and elsewhere end up in Austin, Houston, etc. because those cities offer services that they don’t get elsewhere.  Alpine or Longview aren’t dropping a shitload of money on shelters. Â
Just another reason the Statesman sucks

American mainstream media normally won’t print the stuff - probably wanting to keep access to the Pentagon or a White House news pool, , etc. plus not wanting to lose advertising because Aunt Edna got upset.
But it’s out there if you want to look.  Plenty of stuff that American/NATO troops filmed or photographed themselves in Afghanistan, as well us US troops in Iraq.  Way too many smartphones and GoPros floating around.  I’ve got a buddy who probably has 250 hours of himself on patrol, with about 245 hours of it being the guy in front of him or the ground, with a few hours of combat.  Â
If you want a time sink, YouTube has probably thousands of hours of combat footage, from helicopters hitting large targets to guys on the ground fighting in little villages or on mountainsides.  From what I’ve seen, you can’t show graphic stuff (unless it’s newsworthy or whatever their criteria is) or the video gets removed.
