  1. Yeah, generally speaking, a buyer's inspection breaks the chain of causation for liability for latent defects UNLESS the seller had knowledge of the condition. Then the seller has committed fraud if they didn't say something on the seller's disclosure. So, she's stuck with a negligent inspection theory, if the inspection was actually negligent. And likely only her inspector, not the mortgage company's or anyone else's. The usual upshot of something like this is to demand compensation, based on the real cost of fixing the issues, from everyone in sight, sellers, realtors, inspectors, etc. And then when the one or two year statute of limitations (used to be two, but don't rely on me). approaches, sue everyone in sight, even though she probably can't recover from all of them. During discovery there may be some finger-pointing that's helpful.
  2. In the end, that is just an allegation in a lawsuit, but I am sure it is well-documented and provable. That's what I mean by ring of truth everywhere. But it's ok because it was in a private law firm.
  3. Don't know about the plaintiff's lawyer, Austin lawdogs would have to opine, but that complaint has the absolute ring of truth to it. Nothing speculative. A lot of he-said/she-said, but with witnesses and receipts. Also, these two clowns, Stone and Hilton, took a leave of absence from the AGs office to be second-tier defenders of Paxton in his impeachment (Buzbee and Cogdell being the first tier), and agreed to pay the plaintiff a salary of $180k as an executive assistant. They weren't being paid that kind of money by Ken fucking Paxton, even embezzling from campaign funds. I smell Tim Dunn.
  4. It was James Ho, some Texas federalists, and it was a circle jerk.
  5. Aaron Nielson? Need deets. Also, take a look at the SGs of Texas. Quite a rogue's gallery. But these motherfuckers are seriously the most responsible parties for the state's slide into fascism.
  6. And, to be fair, most Presidents have some fairly outrageous and inexplicable pardons. But, as usual Trump takes it to 11.
  7. His one prominent "justice" pardon (actually a commutation of sentence) first term was Alice Marie Johnson, serving a life sentence for being a minor functionary in a drug ring. Kim Kardashian convinced him to do that. And he did it, like the First Step Act, to curry favor with the bleks.
  8. Yeah, criminal "celebrities." And those with some kind of influence over him.
  9. My team was smart enough to recognize an idiot, criminal, threat to democracy and the American way of life. And vote for anyone else.
  10. haha you mad bro? Your team is stupid as fuck, I don't know what to tell you. Your team won the election because of stupid fucks like this.
  11. We're not wholly powerless over ignorance, it's just a lot easier for ignoramuses like Trump to manipulate the ignorant.
  12. Poors, browns, people with actual claims of innocence or unjust sentences.
  13. And, of course. Putin was never actually pro-Trump. He's pro-chaos and instability. For a while there, they were synonymous, but they don't have to be. Fucking with and provoking Trump works just as well, especially now that we won't present a united front with Europe.
  14. This is the kind of treatment most of MAGA deserves.
  15. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol ignorance — that our lives had become unmanageable.
  16. That's not an ordinary tax cheat, that's an employment tax cheat. That's heinous shit.
  17. But what the fuck is that? Roommates? Spawn? Butt buddies?
  18. Never had a cat that sploots like the Wheeze. Earlier, before I could snap a pic, he had the full forearm sploot going.
  19. I haven't seen anything about the elections or ignoring Supreme Court orders for a year.
  20. Shira Perlmutter, former/current Register of Copyright, strikes back. Also on behalf of Librarian of Congress. https://ipwatchdog.com/2025/05/23/perlmutter-tells-trump-attempt-remove-blatantly-unlawful-no-effect/id=189177/
  21. I didn't assume anything. I said "some people" and "seem." I didn't purport to speak for everyone. And yeah, class size I guess can be an issue. I had three of those, E316, PSY301 and CH301. They didn't bother me much for whatever reason.
  22. Odd that the umps were running around restraining the Mercerites while seemingly doing nothing to the batter. That seems ejection-worthy.
  23. This seems to be an actual phenomenon, a lot of which seems to be the result of pushing a lot of basic scientific research from corporations to academia. Academia, of course, emphasizes publication over the actual value of the research. There are no more Bell Labs inventing the transistor. That company turned into a shareholder driven clusterfuck called Lucent. Can you imagine all those dipshit telcos like Lucent, Nortel, etc. doing anything that worthwhile? Just another example of corporations socializing their short-term unprofitable activities.
  24. SMU and Trinity are not faith-based in the same way as DBU. Not even close. It seems some people are predisposed to just see UT as a huge, impenetrable monolith due to the size of the student body and campus and buildings on campus. I suppose you can look at being identified mostly by your SSN as another feature of that. But, by the same token, it's got some of everything, so you can find what you want. I always figured you can't know more than a couple hundred people, even as acquaintances, so, 2500, 25,000, 50,000 don't make a shit.
