    The problem is Longview, the two Tyler schools and Lufkin not balancing their enrollment.  They should work with neighboring districts to have a competitive East Texas district (like 5A div2 dist9) because if they could field just 5 teams the UIL would give it to them.  Otherwise they are 2+ hours out from everyone.

    Well I mean I understand lumping them in with the likes of us, West Mesquite, Wylie East, etc. But why Sherman? Couldn’t they have placed them in the Denton district and placed the Colony somewhere else?

    Holy shit Longview and Highland Park will be fun.

    I welcome the challenge. They’ll be stiff for sure.

    That being said, why does poor Sherman continue to get thrown into these districts? They’re a fucking 3-hour drive away from Longview and damn near the same for Tyler.

    There's really no need for them to have a separate union if they all go as individual states to the EU. 

    Right, there'd be no need. Would just be a good "fuck you," as @F250put it so eloquently. And if they could get all 6, I say just go for it and call it the Celtic Union of Non-british Territories

    A Celtic Union that included Ireland, N. Ireland and Scotland would be a major fuck you to the Brexiters. Especially if it was a member of the EU. Then bringing Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man into the Celtic Union while leaving the "United Kingdom" just England would be a righteous ending to English rule. Yeah, I know this is fan fiction but it would be cool.

    Realistically, Scotland and Ireland could always form some type of Union with Northern Ireland joining some day after they figure out what to do with the Unionists.

     

    Totally agree. The Pan-Celtic thing is pie in the sky, but a Scot-Irish union isn't too far off in the horizon if they play their cards right.

    This seemed like a polite way of telling Farage to GTFO and shove that flag up his ass. Seems fitting that it was an Irishwoman that told Farage to take his flag with him. I believe they just passed the 100 year mark on their declaration of independence.

     

    101 years, but yes that was celebrated 10 days ago. That's not a decision they've regretted at all, and I hope that the others follow suit very soon. In fact, if they really wanted to piss off the Farages of the world, they just need to announce that Scotland, Ireland (united), and Wales just changed their flags to this:

    this is our concern

     

     

    edit: how many conservatives on here have bitched and moaned about congress ceding power to the executive and wanting congress to take power back?

    They only care about that when a Democrat is president. More of that team sports bullshit.

    I hope Duncanville gets removed from the Dallas / Richardson waste land & put back in the district of doom (DeSoto, Cedar Hill, S Grand Prairie, etc).

    They probably will because 6A is losing White and Molina of DISD (only Skyline remains). Richardson probably gets fused with Mesquite again, leaving D'Ville to go back.

    This is important.  People in this country, by and large, are not smart.  They get bogged down when the story becomes to complicated.

    I think that a lot of them are smarter than you give them credit for. Now, are they also very vulnerable to suggestion? Yes. Why else would there be an entire industry that's psychotically devoted to lying their asses off in order to persuade large numbers of people to believe in their bullshit?

    As soon as the GOP acquits Trump, House Dems should just open new impeachment hearings. 

    https://www.democracynow.org/2020/1/24/donald_trump_senate_impeachment_trial

    "Yes. Well, Nancy Pelosi resisted for many, many months mounting impeachment, an impeachment proceeding in the House. And there are many different grounds that he could have been impeached for: violation of the emoluments clause, corruption and war crimes, as you said, most recently killing Soleimani in violation of the U.N. Charter, in violation of the War Powers Resolution. But when the whistleblower complaint came out and it became so clear what Trump had done with strong-arming Zelensky to mount — not to mount investigations necessarily, but to announce that he was mounting investigations into Trump’s political rival, Joe Biden and this discredited theory that Ukraine had meddled in the 2016 election, Nancy Pelosi understood that this was an airtight case. It was narrow. It was clear. People could get their brains around it."

    Every Republican/Trumpkin on this board fancies themselves an economist. They are nothing but morons who spout talking points from trickle down losers who say nonsense on TV and conservative blogs because they can’t find actual jobs. 

    They also like to brag about their nonexistent math skills

    What's really disgusting, more than the fact that he doesn't have the relevant skills, experience, or education that would make him qualified to do the job, is his conceit in thinking that he's actually qualified to do the job. 

    Even worse? You could substitute any name of any administration official for little Jared and it’s just as accurate

    which country is contiguous?  i didn't see contiguous in the briefing!  what's the leader's name?

    I love the additions on the western border as if it’s actually a replacement in value. “Oh well they effectively stole 42% of the West Bank, but we’ll give them these spaces that even Israelis couldn’t be bothered to give 2 shits about and that’ll make up for it!!”

    The appropriate analogy to that is if Arkansas stole the entire northeastern quadrant of Texas and announced “well we’re not giving back Dallas County, TX, but we will give you Dallas County, Arkansas to make up for the difference. I mean after all, it’s roughly the same geographic size!!!”

    That's real peace there. All of Gaza is on the sea, but gets no port. Borders with Egypt and Jordan are fully controlled by Israel. And the remaining West Bank is a complete clusterfuck with random "borders" throughout. You'd have to go through like 8 checkpoints to go from the north of the west bank to the south. Which is only about 60 miles. 

    I'm sure all the god-fearing American people would be just fine with that level of sovereignty occurring somewhere like Alabama. Those Alabamans would peacefully accept a deal where Mobile is not allowed a port and also has to go through two checkpoints to send goods to Birmingham while also having Birmingham subdivided into a shitload of security zones. Yep, no Alabaman would ever pick up a gun or a rocket again if they got that deal. 

    Oh great you just inspired another insipid round of “Hamas Charter, PLO Covenant, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, From Time Immemorial, The Case for Israel, blah blah blah.”

    So he has lightened up and gave some ground to marijuana, and you say as much. Here he even says that it has good medical benefits, so he's giving more ground to it.

    You can believe that he's only citing the worst of the worst cites, but he has changed his stance since the Joe show.

    This all started with someone saying that Joe always agree with his guest, I showed that it's not always the case. We weren't discussing his identity politics.

    No, this started with you asking where he was wrong. And by the way, his full-of-shittery isn't confined to arguments he had with Joe Rogan about marijuana. Pick your issue and you'll see the same problems.

    And even this video isn't really helping you because he still doesn't retreat from his bottom line position. "Lightening up and giving ground" means less than a drop of batshit if your bottom line position remains. At which point in this video, or any others, does he unambiguously state that he's now in favor of marijuana legalization? And at what point did he stop invoking strawman arguments against those who favor legalization?

    You said that Crowder was being dishonest, I showed you that he noticed he was wrong and he says so in the next video.

    He did no such thing. I didn’t say he was just being dishonest about the one small issue he somewhat corrected himself on, which was the traffic fatalities. I said his position on marijuana in general is dishonest, and that part he did not walk back and he specifically said he wouldn’t in that video you posted.

    Steven Crowder’s position on marijuana is that it should be illegal. He has yet to make a single, coherent, fact-based argument independent of logical fallacies and/or lies in support of this view. All he’s ever done is flail around parroting bullshit. 

    Again, he’s lazy. He takes that position because that’s the position of so-called “conservatives” and when it comes to identity politics, people like him are the absolute worst.
