    Yeah. This summer. But that’s not normal. Houston had insane rainfall and storms and cloud cover this summer. Last summer was also an outlier because Houston had no water or cloud cover and had the hottest summer in like 100 years. 
     

    typically, and I’ll let a weather nerd chime in, Houston is a few degrees hotter than Austin. My research is me anecdotally looking at the weather when I pack for Austin for a weekend. 

    My source is NOAA, which I rely on more than your anecdotal observations.

    I’m simply telling you that in our current environment, a grade of D….when a curve is applied…puts someone up in high B to low A territory.
    And in terms of ACTUAL things she’s done in council, she’s demonstrated competency and responsiveness. Those are actual things.

    Cool. She works to get potholes filled while voting for a guy that wants to end democracy. She’s great!

    I get what you’re saying, but we can’t get  so weak that we start to allow for equivalency to people who vote for the end of democracy to the folks who appreciate democracy.

    Yep.
    None of which changes the fact that she’s demonstrating that she’s one of the better leaders out there.
    And YES, I damn with faint praise, but it remains true. I’m as shocked as anyone.

    No, she’s not. She supports shitheads. You’re back in the suite enjoying a single malt instead of on the ledge. You’re letting yourself get bamboozled by AI.

    Pause for a moment and realize that you are asserting that this is the single intractable issue that isn’t consumed with symbolic identity signifiers promoted by entrenched interests. Do I have you right?

    again- if you could take all the AR-15s off the street by tomorrow morning, it’s a rounding error, because math. 

    If what you purport was true, we would have red flag laws, universal background checks and safe storage laws. Instead you have fatty pos repping you both sides-ing common sense gun regulations.

    I don't care about the AR platform. But the AR-15 is involved in something around 2% of all gun deaths and pursuing the fantasy discourse about a ban actively prevents workable reforms that would save lives. It's just not worth the political capital.

    That’s not what prevents workable reforms. Don’t kid yourself.

    I heard a radio ad from him this morning.  JFC, it couldn't have been more bland if was a midwestern potluck dinner. 

    Is it the one where he mentions he was raised by a single mother multiple times? He has zero inflection in his voice in that one. It’s awful.

    Reall?  Is this where we are now?  You're not allowed to sell your business to people you don't agree with politically?

    How's that gonna work with the stock market?

    1. He’s partners with these fuckfaces. He didn’t outright sell the team. He made a decision to let these people be his boss. He’s totally cool letting these shitheads be the majority owner of a franchise that he brought back to life. 

    2. This isn’t the stock market. It’s a private enterprise.

    Harris is correctly pointing out that Trumps tariffs are indirect taxes which will impact poor people more.

    The campaign needs to figure out a way to really dumb down the talking points on tariffs. The average idiot has no grasp on how tariffs work. They just think “China bad, stick it to ‘em with tariffs” and magically none of the costs get passed along to consumers.
