  1. I recommend Spanx for the midsection
  2. you didn't hear it from me, but look for something tasty to come out of the state judiciary on Paxton tomorrow
  3. Ron and Casey both have punchably smug faces. SUPER punchable. And I give her no credit and no benefit of the doubt on anything for hitching her wagon to that shitheel.
  4. This. The most accurate predictor of future behavior is past behavior. This judge already explicitly, literally ruled that Trump is entitled to special treatment. All bets are off with this hack. I'd be happy to be wrong.
  5. Flying through London next month, will visit family around England first. Then, plan to Eurostar to Paris and Amsterdam. Someone help me with "nice" places to stay in Paris and Amsterdam that won't murder my bank accounts? Or strategies on where to stay?
  6. I read this earlier, and it's an excellent overview. Perhaps some of the rurals should, I don't know, reconsider their continued votes for the dipshits who continually undermine them.
  7. all you have to do is spend a little time on Next Door to realize how full of regressive dipshits Austin is these days.
  8. everyone's been aware of his affair for forever now, and also she later drove the truck to help him evade being served in a lawsuit. She's a piece of shit enabler, so zero benefit of the doubt from me.
  9. Yep I'm interested to see him play. Unfortunately there's another opener before him that I just saw open for Sisters of Mercy and am not into. Anyway, it could be a late night.. stoked for it though.
  10. Any of you miscreants going / want to go to Clan of Xymox tonight at Elysium in Austin? My plus-one is out, so I have an extra (free) ticket.... Darkwave/goth is severely underrepresented here, but thought I'd give it a shot.
  11. A few points about the Crystal Mason case, maybe no one cares but: There was no jury. The trial was a bench trial. The judge was explicit that no knowledge of ineligibility was required. So the issue was never fully litigated and was not ruled upon. Court of Appeals said same -- knowledge not required. Court of Crim. Appeals said nah-- read the damn statute. So now it's back in the Court of Appeals to consider the issue of her knowledge. But how that's going to work, I don't understand. What is the standard of review for judging sufficiency when there was a conviction but the issue was never litigated-- de novo? And yes she signed the written oath but that's not dispositive. If she claims she didn't read or understand it (which by the way she had been released from prison AND from a halfway house), that's a credibility issue, no? Which is a matter the original fact-finder gets to assess, not an appellate court from a cold record. It would seem to me that a new trial is the proper remedy, which I guess the CoA could still say. DA's office should really drop this shit though --filled out a provisional ballot that was never counted SMDH.
  12. Cruel and grotesque sport in which the athletes have no say
  13. looks like an rtarded Mephisto or Anton LeVay
  14. Dutton continues to inexplicably fuck his own party and constituents over
  15. JFC. Get yourself a woman who looks at you like Greg looks at Kenny.
  16. But that includes a lot of various criminal or probably more accurately "quasi-criminal" authority the office has. Prosecuting medicare/medicaid fraud. Non-payment of child support. Representing the state in federal habeas appeals from misdemeanor all the way through death penalty cases. Open records rulings/opinions. Consumer protection litigation. Of course, Kenny's main claim to fame is just suing the shit out of any Dem president on our behalf. But there's a shit ton that office does, or at least is set up to be doing.
  17. Holy shit I just read that this dude is only 36, criming is no beauty routine it seems.
  18. Sen. Campbell.... whose staffer Kenny porked?
  19. I worked for AG Dan Morales before he went to prison. Jim Mattox had legal woes before that... let's keep this tradition rolling for this scumbag with the wandering eye.
  20. My father-in-law is currently in hospice care at home due to alcoholism and has the wet-brain thing. He managed to make it to 76-- or 77?-- and birthday next week. My understanding is that the primary process killing him is his uncontrolled blood pressure. The alcohol has greatly weakened his body systems and mind, but also made him not give a shit to take care of himself as far as just taking his BP meds etc., which has been the case for quite a while now. Faced with the reality of death, he kept maintaining it was his own choice to keep drinking, not caring that his refusal to even try getting sober meant his wife became his full-time nurse. It's been part of my own wake-up call to drink a lot less for fear of just not giving a shit about myself or anyone else. Anyway, sorry to hear about MAC, he truly was a gifted writer and fascinating guy.
  21. In contemplating moving from this shithole and leaving behind my elderly mother, I console myself with the fact that her shitty voting record and continued swallowing of the propaganda has helped create this mess.
  22. Infuriating that so many Dems are selling LGBTQ folks down the river https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/23/legislature-fractured-democrats-lgbtq/ Republican blitz on LGBTQ issues exposes fractures among Texas Democrats The defections have sparked feelings of betrayal and promises of retribution, particularly as Republicans in the Legislature have presented a unified front.
  23. watch out for magnesium in any supplements, it can and does act as a laxative if a significant amount.
  24. I feel like Dell Children's needs to fucking say something. This is so horrible it makes me want to cry. Kids are going to die or end up with lifelong problems and no one seems to fucking care unless it directly affects them. As the parent of an adolescent boy, I find it personally terrifying as well... that's what it feels like --terrorism by the government.
