    Need that guy that was on the board before they bond election spewing pro project connect bullshit to come back and apologize. 
    Complete grift/money suck. 

    It still blows my mind that 240,000 people in Austin voted for a substantial tax increase to have the city and Cap Metro manage a gigantic infrastructure project. Anyone who knows an iota about the City of Austin knows that infrastructure isn’t exactly in the city’s wheelhouse.

    I'm similarly skeptical that Swedish Hill will re-open in their new permanent location once development is finished.  (Eh, it's not the same as Sweetish Hill, anyway. Mostly the same, but I preferred the old name.)

    I think that one is much more likely since Swedish Hill is owned by MML and they are partners in the redevelopment.

    Starting a philanthropic arm of a company and investing millions if not billions in trying to influence politics at the level he does... Yeah, no thanks.  That money would be better spent feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, or aiding natural disasters, not funding Beto's third failed attempt at running for office.

    Now do Tim Dunn, the Koch Brothers, David Green, etc.

    Abbott needs blame for the increase in border crossings since he started busing them out of the state.  That has to be seen as a plus for anyone crossing into Texas.

    This. He’s spending billions on a migrant transportation system that enables and encourages illegal immigration. He might as well be placing ads in Central America promoting free transportation. Someone should create a mock advertisement with Greg Abbott promoting free plane and bus rides to the destination of your choice in the US.

    This is how discourse works over here?  

    You’re being intentionally obtuse and getting called out for it.

    Ok, maybe Nex started this incident? Not saying there wasn't a lead up over months etc.. but maybe Nex had enough and snapped?  

    Why are you trying so hard to find a reason to defend her attackers and those that enabled them? In your newest scenario, is Nex now to blame if she snapped after being bullied for months?

    No shit. When North Carolina passed controversial laws, the NCAA pulled several championship games. (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2016/09/12/ncaa-to-relocate-championship-events-north-carolina-house-bill-2/90284584/)

    When Texas passed anti-abortion laws that caused a woman to have to leave the state or risk not having more children, it was *crickets*

    Arizona didn’t recognize MLK Day until the NFL stripped them of the 1993 Super Bowl.

    Senate - Roland Gutierrez, but Allred will probably win

    I also voted Gutierrez knowing that Allred will likely win. It was a bit of a protest vote for Allred pissing me off for going along with some of the GQP border stunts. I’ll obviously vote Allred in the general and if his relatively inconsequential bullshit is a play to rope in some of the Republicans that hate Cruz, then so be it.

    Interesting. I’ve only gotten mail from Litton. Nothing from Cook

    Also Lizzie has done nothing to lose the vote. Agwan seems scummy 

    Molly stopped by my house a couple of weeks ago. I had met her before when she was running against Whitmire in the last election. She already had my vote, but really formed it up when we talked again. I see a ton of her yard signs in my neighborhood FWIW and not much from Litton.

    My wife and I voted this afternoon at the West Gray Multi-Service Center and Agwan was there and he was SUPER aggressive trying to get in our face. I always try to be polite to candidates and volunteers at polling places as I’ve done those volunteer shifts myself, but he took it to the next level and was screaming stuff as us even as we walked away and got to the entrance. It really rubbed me the wrong way. Based on that interaction, it demonstrated that he’s too immature to serve in Congress and, as you stated, Lizzie hasn’t done anything to warrant being replaced.

    I didn't know who Keith Lee was until a couple of weeks ago. Then I found out he's a MMA/UFC fighter of some sort who does food reviews now. I appreciate the hustle but why would I listen to anything this cat says about food?

    He was in Houston a month or two ago and I hadn’t heard of him until then. He seems like a nice enough guy with a message of supporting local businesses, but his actual reviews have almost zero substance.

    There will always be a bunch of liberal, CR cunts celebrating the deaths of police, first responders. Just accept it and move on.

    Hopefully they’ll have the experience someday of needing help saving themselves or their family and maybe change their opinions. But fuck ‘‘em otherwise 

    Grab a napkin to wipe that cop jizz off your chin.

    — Two police officers and one first responder were shot and killed early Sunday while responding to a domestic abuse call in a Minneapolis suburb, according to a law enforcement association. 

    The deaths of the two Burnsville police officers and the first responder were confirmed by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association, which represents public safety professionals in the state.

    “Horrific news from Burnsville,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said in a post on Facebook. “While responding to a call of a family in danger, two police officers and one firefighter lost their lives, and other officers were injured.

    https://apnews.com/article/officers-medic-shot-killed-burnsville-minnesota-e742b13f0d2ddca009e38337f46435b5

    Died trying to help a family from a likely POS fuckup that should either have been institutionalized or have been behind bars. Now three people (including a firefighter since I know some actually cheer the boys in blue getting killed) are dead.
     

    i get it. I actually cheer when a POS suspect like the guy who got all three dies. Cuz I literally know the pos suspect won’t ever amount to anything other than coffin filler. Ever. It’s actually a mercy killing. I know they won’t do anything other than fill a jail cell. Period. But yet we linger over their loss like a fly over a turd.
     

    The fire fighter and the officers that died have families. might have actually done other good things in life for someone else. I guarantee the POS that shot them NEVER will.  
     

    I cheer every time a murderer or violent crime gets prison or taken out. Thats how it should be. Cuz I know we can’t fix them. And quite honestly we waste too much time and resources on them. For what? So we can watch them ruin the lives of three families. Sure they have family too but their family is better off without them. My two cents. 

    Ma’am, this is the Fuck the Police thread.

    Believing parts of both are right and maybe both should be more to the center is not a badge of shame you think it is….  Country would be much better off if both parties thought more like that.  But you wear your extreme to one side badge proud if you want!  

    I don’t disagree with the first sentence in the least, but let’s not pretend that one side is putting forth a guy who attempted a coup as its candidate for POTUS. I find that to be a problematically unique situation in the history of our nation.

    The problem with CR is the same problem with society and politics today.  Both sides and a majority of their followers are more worried about being right than actually working together or seeing their own flaws at all. Neither side can admit anything wrong with their leaders, any criticism, ect is met with a die on the hill attitude of you’re wrong I’m right stance on every little thing instead of actually conversations.  It’s really quite crazy, what a time to be alive. 

    Both sides!!!

    Here's what gets me about the entire story, and why I know the principle antagonist is a complete fucking idiot.

    Essentially, this ass clown had free rent and living space in a mid-tier hotel in Manhattan... for life, or at least the foreseeable future.

    A place that is across the street from Madison Square Garden and a short walk to the train, plenty of fast food, a few coffee shops that look good and a couple of Walgreens. 

    He finds a remote working job, doesn't have to pay a lot and his man does the same, they're living a madly cool life in Manhattan and making good money. On fucking easy street.

    And he has to go and fuck it all up by pressing his dumb ass luck. Fuck that guy!

     

    Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered.

    I am now four years older than my dad was when he passed.  Sebastian is only 2 1/2 years old and lately, I've been thinking about what would happen to him If I were to die.  I think that I want to make some provision for him in my will.  Has anyone here done that?  Under Texas law, I guess he would be considered property (I'm sure he would disagree with that), so I would have to leave him to someone rather than having a guardian named for him.  

    My will and my wife’s will both have provisions for what happens to our dog upon our death if one of us isn’t around to take care of him (or any other dog we may have in the future). It’s a pretty standard thing to have in a will as a pet owner.

    If money were no object, and I didn’t have a 4 y/o and a golden retriever that manufactures hair, the Cullinan is probably the baddest mf’er out there.  

    Let’s be honest, if you’re spending $200k on a grocery getter, money is not an object.
