Virtual for the first 3 weeks.

I’ve worked at rich schools and poor schools in the Austin area. The poor kids are much more likely to live with a family member that is over 55. Many times it’s multiple family members over 55. My prediction is that those people are going to be in serious danger next month.

They are the red raiders

How much were you or other pros you know putting on games? Always been curious about that. I know it’s probably too much to type out but I would love hear about your process for betting college basketball. It does seem like the place you could find some bad lines with the sheer number of games on the board each day.

Feeling better about my MJ vote today.

Hold on, we have a pro sports bettor on here? We should all be rich by now.

I’m hearing through the grapevine that TEA has the majority of their employees working from home until 2021. Please let this be true. Edit: all TEA employees are currently working remotely until further notice according to their recorded message. Yes I called. Fuck these clowns.

Schedule a zoom, Karen. Not hanging around outside my office 3 days a week anymore. Looks like kids under 10 are not required to wear masks. Unclear if schools can mandate that though. Right now TEA basically left employment issues up to each district. My guess is that they will clarify that when they give more info in two weeks. There is going to be a lot of media attention surrounding teachers with health conditions.

Edit: it’s more if you are directly impacted by Covid that precautionary. No guidance yet on what will happen with teachers that don’t feel safe to return. My guess is that the district will work with them as much as possible. We already have trouble filling certain positions because the pay doesn’t match the demands of the job.

100% of my younger teachers wanted to return to campus when we surveyed them. BUT that was almost a month ago when numbers were expected to decline, not spike. We will survey again in a couple of weeks and see if there were any changes.

“But it’s a dry heat”

It wouldn’t work this year. The attacks aren’t sticking because the people throwing the bombs have no credibility outside of their base.

Duckworth would make conservative heads explode. They are definitely going to play up the patriotism angle this year. Pretty sure the “America hating libtard” line won’t stick to a lady that had her legs blown off in Iraq. Same with Demmings and the “libtards won’t back the blue and want all cops to die” idiots.

Bullshit. I get emails like this daily from his top people: President Trump LOVES America, and he isn’t ashamed of it. While the Radical Left TERRORIZES our communities, OUR President took bold and decisive action to PROTECT our great Nation’s monuments and statues by swiftly signing an Executive Order that is in FULL FORCE AND EFFECT. Rest assured, Un-American THUGS who choose to illegally destroy our America’s history will be prosecuted to the FULLEST extent of the law. As a REAL Patriot and as one of our TOP supporters, we need YOU to step up and show the Left that you support your President 100%. Do you stand with President Trump right now, Friend? We're sending him a list of every Patriot who proudly signs their name to support the President's Executive Order, and we know he's expecting to see your name on there. Yes, I actually got this today. You have to be really low iq or in a nursing home to believe this shit. He knows his base well though.

Biden winning the overall election easily and coming within 5 in Texas is my goal. That would get rid of dotard and hopefully bring some down ballot victories as well. It would also continue the trajectory of Texas turning purple. Bush +22 (won Travis county lol) Bush +23 McCain +12 Romney +16 Trump +9 Something like Trump +4 wouldn’t be a bad result at all and would give a lot of hope for the future.

My parents honestly believe that the only thing stopping the liberal mob from taking all of their (middle class) money and burning America to the ground is Republicans. My mom is taking about burying gold in the back yard or using offshore bank accounts. She started watching Tucker during Covid lockdown and has gone from normal to batshit crazy in 3 months. I try to show them how tucker is trying to manipulate them by taking something with a tiny grain of truth and extrapolating that out to “the world is ending” but they won’t have it. We spent 2 hours going over the first 8 minutes of his show point by point, stopping to fact check everything. They will get it for a few minutes until the next segment comes on and the world is ending again. It’s just sad to me because I feel like I lost my parents. They saved their entire lives to have a good retirement and now this is how they are going to spend it. Living in fear. I would love to get one swing at that little fuck. He knows what he’s doing and that it’s brainwashing people.

Beto on point as usual in a tweet this morning. Make cornyn and Abbott defend this guy. Bonus points for death cult. “Want to know why there is an uncontrolled covid outbreak in Texas, with record number of cases, hospitalizations and (soon) deaths? Because Dan Patrick leads a death cult that Abbott, Cornyn and company are too scared to stand up to.”

The problem is that Patrick is up for re-election with Abbott at the top of the ballot. My strategy would be to go after Patrick really hard as a long term play. Show all the people new to Texas or that have just started paying attention what a disaster he’s been. You may not win but you aren’t going to beat Abbott so turn it into a lose the battle/win the war situation. Make that the race everybody is talking about and force republicans to defend his shenanigans.

If trump is going to win, that’s the map that is most likely imo. Michigan needs to get a shitload of money, attention, and GOTV efforts. Biden is looking solid there right now but don’t get complacent.

On Thursdays the library had one dollar beers and giant mugs of LIT for maybe $4.

When you talk shit about everybody, including most of the people you have hired in the last 4 years, name calling doesn’t seem to have the same impact.

So I’ve been keeping up with this thread for a while but have a point of confusion that I’m hoping upper westside can help me with. He says he has a Brazilian girl he’s hanging out with but I haven’t been able to see any of the pics on my end. Maybe a technology issue?

Will used to run my ass over on the regular in football practice. Really good guy though. Sings the Jesus music now.

2005. Library for same. Aquarium for same. The drink with half the UT football team and some serious female talent. Best years of my life.

If we had 95% turnout, Republicans would never control any branch of government again. They are the ones trying to suppress the vote for a reason.
