  1. Fucking stop. I am fairly sure that is grand jury testimony. It is therefore secret and also probably a couple of years old, at least. The criminal process proceeds largely out of public view until the trial. Clearly, they have this evidence, they've had it, and they are using it against him. They just didn't show it to you before and a bizarre procedural oddity under which the prosecution has to go on record with its evidence before trial is the only reason you're seeing this.
  2. All you really need to know about Izzy.
  3. I'm guessing if there's "politics" involved, it's a commitment to the Manning family not to play Arch before he's "ready."
  4. https://texastech.com/sports/football/roster/reese-burkhardt/12989 Andalusia, AL, population 8850. Parents are Auburn grads.
  5. Well, it's possible that good Quinn shows up, too. The unpredictable nature of Quinn Ewers is fucking everything and everyone up, including Sark. We had bursts of good Quinn yesterday, but not good Quinn all through the game. I thought after that first drive, he might have turned the corner. Seems reasonable, yes. Either the run game or hitting a couple of deep balls.
  6. As evidenced by Project 2025, their actual policy proposals are wildly unpopular. They've been able to stealthily and incrementally inject christofascism into state governments like Texas using unelected officials. Paxton and Abbott are doing things in the open now and drawing criticism and suspicion and without Trump mobilizing the rurals they may finally start to lose their grip. Without Trumpism, they won't have that ability to get elected on his coattails and using his idiot-savant rhetoric. It's going to be something to see.
  7. Haha you tell Carton not to make everything race-based, yet you are the one that brought up "strong white dudes" and first-generation Indian immigrants. Also, not sure your point here. I'd guesstimate the immigrant has a higher likelihood of success than the white dude, based on effort. But the Indian may lack the generational wealth and certainly the white privilege of the white guy.
  8. My theory is that he sees talent and execution, on the practice field, and gameplans based on what he really believes the team can execute. I think he is a bit spoiled by having worked with Alabama talent in that sense. I think this was exacerbated when he first got here and we had a lot of "paper" or theoretical talent that, for whatever reasons, couldn't get it done on the field. Then he has game time players that execute at a level considerably below his expectations, Ewers being a fine, but not the only, example. His choice then seems to be to dumb down the game plan or try to force his players to execute in the manner in which he thinks they're capable. He usually chooses the latter. I think this explains some of his decisions not to "take the points," but hope that his players can have an epiphany of execution that they can utilize for the rest of the game. It seems to be true that when they are executing, it builds on itself. But they aren't executing on a very consistent level right now, Ewers because injury/head case and OL possibly because they are encountering adversity and athleticism for the first time.
  9. While simultaneously shitting himself and pissing down his leg.
  10. Seems like there's two types of that scene.
  11. And in the same business, where the vast majority are extremely successful, ranging from mobsters who skim to relatively unsophisticated Native Americans. The actual businessmen that succeed do so wildly, see. e.g. Hughes Organization, Steve Wynn, Sheldon Adelson.
  12. An additional thing is that Dallas schools were segregated at the time and for many years after, so it made some "fiscal" sense to maintain fewer "plessy" schools. At least they were trying to do something to make life easier and better for Dallas' black citizens. But it was also a giant cop out that delayed addressing the real problems. It is amazing that they didn't stick it somewhere in south Dallas, where it could be ignored more easily, although they did try to stick em in a river bottom.https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/hamilton-park-tx
  13. That's where I voted, also. Somewhat gratifying to see the aunties and grandmamas, mostly, doing serious patriotic duty by administering an election from which they were excluded in the past. And "first planned black community" is perhaps not as benign as it sounds. It does kind of carry out a separate-but-equal type of philosophy and, according to The Accomodation, black clergy in south Dallas was likely complicit in the firebombings in order to create a crisis. Finally, at the time of its creation, Hamilton Park was in the middle of nowhere, and more desirable alternative projects were kiboshed by Dallas elite.
  14. Smert bidnessmen do bankruptcy. It's a manipulation, after all. I do find it kind of amusing that individuals that file personal bankruptcy suffer pretty severe credit and reputational damage, while businesses and their managers that file Chapter 11s generally do not.
  15. Also, as I said, it's not confirmed yet, so I didn't assert any of that as fact, just a high likelihood. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
  16. That's fucking bullshit and you know it. You have kept things mostly sane in here, but that's over the top and further proof that you are brainwashed by right-wing media. Also, do you REALLY think Donald J. Trump is doing anything to improve the state of corruption in US government? Really? ETA: Let's look at Trump's only action with respect to the "deep state." He signed an executive order under which civil servants, who are non-partisan, professional employees that advance within the bureacracy by performance on the job and on civil-service exams, can be replaced with political appointees. Now, it might be nice to think that those political appointees might be more professional-type "bidnessmen" or something that will do their jobs better. But the reality, especially with Trump, is that they will be political loyalists and nothing more and make political what previously had not been. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schedule_F_appointment Not coincidentally, this is a key feature of Project 2025, which Trump has never heard of.

    So, when they talk about solid axles and lockers, my first thought is why would you need those in an electric 4WD with short axles driven by their own motors. Lockers I guess I could see. Electric vehicles use what, CV joints at each wheel? Wonder what these things weigh? Do like quite a few things about the design philosophy, though, particularly with respect to the interior.
  18. I guess we should explain that it's the Fifth Circuit, which has jurisdiction only over Texas, MIssissippi, and Louisiana. Of those, only Mississippi attempts to count votes not received by election day. So it only actually affects Mississippi and it wasn't changing the electoral outcome in any of them. ETA, even the MS Secretary of State said the change will not be implemented until after this election. But, it could be used as a precedent elsewhere. It's not binding anywhere else, and, now that the Fifth Circuit has lost most of its credibility, will not be a convincing precedent And, luckily, the trial court reached the opposite conclusion and didn't attempt to give a nationwide injunction against such laws. Also, this is what wildcat refers to. Purcell.
  19. Something else it shows, perhaps, is that a second-term Trump may do more than threaten.
