  1. Let's flesh out this legalism some. Because that's all you people are relying on here, technical legalism. Using the "warrant in Denton County" scenario. If you have a warrant for your arrest somewhere, one of two things is going to happen: that jurisdiction takes your crime seriously enough that they mount up the MRAP and battle rattle and come serve your ass with it. OR, you get a traffic ticket or some other LE encounter that results in the warrant being served upon you. If neither of those things happen in 23 years, odds are damn good that warrant is going to go away. If nothing else, Denton County is probably not going to bother moving it from IT system to IT system because, if neither of the above scenarios involving serving that warrant have occurred in 10+ years, who gives a shit, which is a layman's interpretation of the doctrine of laches, discussed below. Second, if a 23 year old warrant is served and you appear in court, the judge is pretty likely to be highly skeptical. Although any statute of limitations is probably tolled by the filing of a complaint and the subsequent issue of a warrant, there is a concept in the law of laches, that recognizes the fundamental unfairness of "resting on your rights." It also recognizes and embodies the difficulties of trying a case where the events and evidence of them occurred in the distant past. On the flip side, it's not great to sit around and hope you don't get served, or just exist in ignorance of the warrant, but it surely happens. Also, there's evidence here that Sergio made efforts to clear up his immigration status. Additionally, Sergio's deportation order wasn't a criminal matter. Yes, unlawful entry, first time, can be a crime, but for decades it has not been treated as such. So the criminal warrant analogy is a bit inapt. Finally, what do we want from our immigration policy? To make sure that people living in the US are good and productive citizens, permanent residents, etc. Sure, Sergio didn't go through the proper channels. But there's thirty years of evidence that that is exactly what Sergio was. Does it really serve legitimate immigration policy goals to deport Sergio? I'm going to leave out the sub rosa current immigration policy of confining immigrants to suitably white, English-speaking people with a lot of money. The notion that immigration rule violators should be deported holds some force as long as the government doesn't wait decades to deport. It holds more force if the deportee is somehow unworthy of citizenship or permanent residence, either by criminal history or commission of crimes here, possibly other circumstances. Sergio's deportation, and those of many other worthy immigrants, is supported only by technical legalism. Legalism that this administration is famous for following and obeying. Again, not mentioning that whole racism thing.
  2. I caught the clit first time around, which evidently caused me to miss the white power.
  3. Chopped probably ought to get banned for creating a likelihood of confusion with Chopper, in violation of 15 USC 1025(a) the laws of the State of Texas.
  4. But why do we need to deport the guy? He's not a criminal. Biden didn't let him in. Why do we need to disrupt the status quo of 30 some odd years?
  5. Whiskey Pete gonna have some problems with them. Enchiladas y mas, mucho mas.
  6. Gee, Tomi looking a little less synthetic these days. She's still plastic shittastic.
  7. Dunno why that's any big deal, they've been pretending that Trump has plenary authority over all sorts of shit. Technically, legally speaking, it is amusing to cite a section of US Code (a statute passed by Congress), when stating POTUS has plenary authority. If Congress has to grant it, it's not plenary.
  8. Good thing I'm not running for office.
  9. I vote heresy, belief or practice contrary to religious teaching. Blasphemy is usually some form of verbal utterance I believe both fall into broader category of sacrilege
  10. Not to defend Mack, but if anyone deserves dismissing, it's a bunch of message board geniuses.
  11. Well, other than dumbass lawsuits and easily resisted "civil investigative demands," Kenny-boy ain't got no tools to investigate anyone.
  12. I used it to describe the white supremacist couple that has the lock on family values. Fucking sue me.
  13. Concedes a point? I think we're all better off knowing what these assholes are lying about, when they're actually lying.
  14. Recycling is woke, anyway.
  15. Oh, I know, but a lot of people on here all but are arguing that he should be canned, probably mid-season. And that's probably peak message board. It's never ideal for a coach to be forced to make staff changes, but it happens and is probably recoverable.
  16. Regardless of the terminology, do you or do you not agree that a) community/family values are perceived as a problem if not a real problem and b) that white, hetero Christian marriages are not the only or even an ideal solution to those problems.
  17. Ok, so maybe Sark saw OL problems as early as last May, still too late to really fix them. I think it's all going to boil down to canning Flood in the off-season and whatever triage we can do in the portal.
  18. This is fair. The buck absolutely stops with Sark. But ditching Sark at this point is off the table. So, if you want to do more than shake your tiny fist and yell at clouds, the answer has to be in staff changes. Sark was deferential to his assistants Flood and PK. Flood has let him down, PK mostly has not. I'm thinking fixing the OL fixes most of our problems: red zone, run game, gives Arch more time and comfort. Unfortunately, that's not going to be a quick fix. I think it's almost essential at this point that he shitcan Flood. If he doesn't can Flood, he's on the way out.
  19. Yeah S&C is definitely Scip's white whale.
  20. I have been reading some arson crime fiction. It points out that firemen are often the worst arson investigators and that the first thing they do is devastate the crime scene. So yeah it seems possible if not likely that we have only seen very preliminary investigation.
  21. The signs have been there all along. But as with the above, easily dismissed until you had near 100% turnover in the personnel. I think it's the nature of these things that whether the blame goes on the QB or the OL for a sputtering offense can be a close, difficult question. Perhaps less difficult are red zone and RB struggles. But when you have a couple of RB that can make their own yards like Bijan, that gets masked, too. We've had somewhat similar nits to pick with the defense in terms of a little too soft in coverage, not getting home often enough with the rush, but overall one of the best in CFB.
  22. I doubt this is unique to Texas Football. The NFL is pretty lousy with MAGAts also. And baseball, and wherever undereducated white males gather.
  23. This would be the first time in history, I believe, that a "sex offender" has been pardoned or had their sentence commuted, since that term and registries came into vogue.
  24. Ok wrong word then, but the data processing, which extended into April 2021. Although, again not clear who decided to do it or when. Apparently, as you drill down into the data for smaller and smaller units, ie congressional districts, the risk increases of revealing personal information. At some point someone decided that was bad and we should do this differential privacy thing. And that has been the subject of some criticism and also studies that it had no material effect. So, while this guy wasn't as blatantly wrong as the above suggests, this is more FUD conspiracy theory shit.
  25. In AA meetings you hear stories, some pretty true, about meeting a chick in a bar in Dallas and waking up a couple of days later in Cabo, or Moscow, or Philly, with no idea how it happened. And a lot of those stories are fueled by chemicals in addition to alcohol, which I think may be involved here.
