  1. It's maddening. Like this whole narrative that the D's are about to get crushed because inflation, with the "electorate" trusting the R's more on economy than the D's despite the clear track record of R's being irresponsible and cratering the economy and D's bailing them out. Just irrational as hell. We are a hurr durr society.
  2. Not much to add except I worked on the appeals of both David and Stacy Cary -- the other side of the coin from Judge Wooten, in that any "bribes" offered weren't actually bribes or illegal. Some of the most convoluted, yet pretty transparently wrong stuff I've ever worked on. Screw Collin County (my home county, yay), Paxton, Abbott, and all the cockroaches. Also, didn't know that David Cary was killed in a bike accident not that long ago. What a sad story.
  3. Paul having an affair with a groyper half his age? That checks out.
  4. my #1 for a band name right now is from a headline with a typo: Violet Mob
  5. JFC the stranglehold of one-party rule in this state is killing us
  6. what kills me is that even with the low voter participation in Texas (exactly what the R's want), the portion of people who DO bother to vote are mostly dumbshits persuaded by dumbshit stuff, who don't actually bother to do any research even if they were capable of it. Dunning Kruger Goes to the Polls.
  7. Praise Jeebus if this actually happens, because lord knows I'd like not to spend an hour in rush hour traffic again to watch middle schoolers break arms and fingers at the fucking gotdamn BURGER fields like I did last night. Fuck that place (because our school is so fucking far away it may as well be in another county). Save your pal Chuck from the trauma, guys. But for real -- everything Texas Jeff said is true. Please support the AISD bonds. The slogan should be "what the fuck else are we gonna do??!"
  8. I wish the Beto/Abbott debate could have had an audience like the Fla debate did, but Greg is an even bigger coward that Rhonda it seems
  9. well that's totally normal and not the concerns of someone who does an awful lot of criming.
  10. thought I heard he said the glove was because he had a nail ripped out from the nail bed but that it "didn't affect him"
  11. oh look QE still out there
  12. why shitty run on 1st then 2 passes?
  13. then WHY keep forcing those passes if he's hurt. JFC
  14. We've fallen far and fast and it's going to get worse: about 33% of people age 18-29 vote in mid-terms while 66% of those age 60 and up do.
  15. Yep, some real RED flags with him. One of his big supporters/defenders has Trump boat parade stuff all over her page. He proposes a new system of review for library books, not explaining what is wrong with the procedure now where librarians are in charge. Ragey stuff directed towards kids at the football games. No demonstrated familiarity with district issues outside his kids' west Austin vertical team. My conclusion: stealth MAGA candidate.
  16. As we know, we have sky-high property taxes in Austin, but the State's per-student funding allotment is way too fucking low. The State is abdicating its (state) constitutional duty to educate the kids here, and passing it off entirely to counties. Then once that low per-student funding rate is met with property tax money, the state drags the leftover funds around and eventually to its own coffers with zero accountability. It's a fucking scam and should be illegal. AISD seems to have capitulated to the idea that the legislature will never do anything that helps Austin specifically (probably right), and we are by far the biggest funder of education across the state. So the push is to get the lege to increase the per-student funding so we can at least keep some more of our own desperately needed money to help our shambolic district.
  17. Even apart from her MAGA-ness, the name "del Moral Mealer" should be disqualifying in itself. Fuck that weirdly-named bitch. "Mealer." J.F.C.
  18. pee pee tape still out there
  19. One of my fondest dreams would be for Bannon and Roger Stone to share a cell together forever.
  20. fuck OUSC
  21. didn't Rafael Cruz amplify this shit too?
  22. we just look fucking cursed today. JFC
  23. So when did he switch from "bro I'm just asking questions" and being ignorant as fuck, to outright lying in support of the radical right agenda? He clearly doesn't know anyone with this experience. So he's just an abject fucking liar who needs his bullshit "both sides" card yanked.
  24. And I'm guessing Ginni Thomas gets a pass
  25. I was hoping for more on the installation of Chris Miller/Kash Patel and the (planned) lack of fed response to the riot.
