    In a related Boaty McBoatFace way, I guess Jacob Wohl was able to hold his little gathering aboard the yacht in Florida (see upthread) this past weekend. The upshot of that was following the yacht party was a small dinner and in the white supremecist gathering was one Ashley St. Clair, a brand Ambassador for Turning Point USA (I think that position is just a fancy name for volunteer?).

    TPUSA publicly cut ties with St. Clair after becoming aware of the event. Ms. St. Clair released this statement:

    So, now she is unemployed from her unpaid position just like Jacob! They have so many things in common....

    Wait, so white supremacists like the Jewish folk now? Maybe the next thing they can work on is like someone even if they don't look like themselves. That's probably asking a lot though.

    Perry also strikes me as the 'grifter' or good ol' boy type but not the type of man ruthless and willing to have people disappear to make his problems go away. Ricky may shoot coyotes while jogging, but Trump would have someone shoot a marathoner running down 5th avenue without blinking.

    Dolan has fixers so he can squeeze the trigger himself.

    With the ridiculous rate of people fleeing the trump administration over the 2 1/2 years it was only a matter of time until he hit a group so corrupt and agreeable that they'd commit major crimes to cover up for him. 

    If Perry is so unscrupulous he's willing to pimp himself out to trump this far what kind of illegal corrupt shit was he doing while in Austin? How much is the idiot there now who isn't much better doing?

    ...only the best people.

     

    Also, just because Perry is a willing co-conspirator doesn't make him smart enough to shoulder coming up with new ways to be corrupt. He may or may not have been into some shady shit in Austin, but his aggy brain is just too chronically enfeebled to really do anything more than be an also-ran in the crowd.

    Texas offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter (68) works against Kansas State defensive end Tanner Wood (34) in Austin on Oct. 7, 2017. NICK WAGNER / AMERICAN-STATESMAN

    "Texas notebook: Longhorns linemen bond over grilling competitions, living arrangements"

    October 1st, 2019. Danny Davis   

    Texas offensive lineman Derek Kerstetter spent his 21st birthday Monday at a Chipotle.  That was by choice, though. The junior swears by the food chain and highly recommends a double serving of rice in your burrito bowl. Fellow lineman Samuel Cosmi said that Kerstetter has even been known to bring his own Chipotle into other restaurants that the linemen are dining at.  “I firmly believe Chipotle is the best restaurant in Austin,” Kerstetter said on Tuesday. “It’s great for you, it’s great (for your) budget and it’s great food.”

    As passionate as Kerstetter is about Chipotle, it isn’t his only culinary love. He’s been grilling since high school. That hobby has set up a rivalry within his own home.  During UT’s weekly availability with players, both Kerstetter and senior center Zach Shackelford claimed to be the grill master of the house they share with four other linemen. Shackelford, whose bye-week activity included grilling a bone-in ribeye, is known for his seasoning and preference of charcoal. Kerstetter does a mean marinade and can use a smoker.  “They both cook really, really good steaks,” Cosmi said.  Shackelford, Kerstetter and Cosmi are roommates with backup linemen J.P. Urquidez and Reese Moore. Mikey Grandy, who medically retired before the 2018 season, also lives among the Longhorn linemen. When that house hosts the linemen for dinners, Shackelford said the grocery bill can be “pretty pricey.”

    Five of the seven sacks allowed by Texas this season came in the LSU game. The Longhorns are averaging 165.5 yards on the ground. In Kerstetter’s eyes, those on-field successes are related to the off-field bonding.  “We’re basically like brothers. We’re like a little family,” Kerstetter said. “It’s been a lot of fun just kind of growing closer and seeing each other more outside of the football bubble.”

    Grade corrections: Each week, Texas uses a grading system to determine how its offensive linemen fared. Cosmi, a redshirt sophomore, said he first graded out as a champion during the second game of the 2018 season. At first, he recalled, “it seemed like it was almost nearly impossible to grade out as a champion.” Now Cosmi knows exactly what a championship performance looks like.  In fact, he recently corrected the grading done by assistant coach Herb Hand after the 36-30 win over Oklahoma State on Sept. 21. After receiving an 84 percent — champions must get at least an 85 — Cosmi obsessed over Hand’s scoring of one play. After watching film and concluding that his assignment and technique on that play were correct, he presented his findings to Hand. The coach agreed with the grading and Cosmi was given his fourth championship grade of the season.

    “It’s just something about that. I don’t not want to be a champion,” said Cosmi, a 6-7, 300-pound left tackle. “Knowing that I did put the effort but my football ability didn’t let me grade out as a champion, there’s something about that just irritates me in the back of my head. Even being a point shy was irritating me.”

    I'm guessing he finally figured out the secret to eating chipotle.

    YES - shows how fragile our system is when we can’t rely on “norms”. These things must be written into law

    It doesn't need to stop at the office of the president. It should codify any person in the line of succession to the office of the president.

    Unfortunately, that would probably require a super majority.

    don't forget that his financials and tax returns are supposed to drop soon too

    As a point of contention..

     Shouldn't tax returns while in office be public record? As such monies earned outside of that office would be subject to emolument issues?

    Bedford is retired in Austin. I follow him on twitter and he’s a kick. I have a soft spot in my heart for Vance. I thought after his demotion from DC, when he oversaw the secondary, he did some of his best coaching. He can coach DBs. In that role it would be nice to have him around.

    But does he bring in the croots?

    Texas would best Clemson. Fight me. 

    The team that just won that game? Yes. The team that beat... well, shit. Clemson's best win was probably over aggy. And that was a fucking shitshow all around. So if Texas happens to meet this Clemson team at some point this season, yeah probably.
