  1. Although the pay raise isn’t great, it would fix a decent amount of the recapture issues for AISD. This would likely allow for raises beyond what is being reported over time. Mileage will vary by district and their recapture situation, of course. Kenneth Adix, the CFO of RRISD, was on the news tonight. He was saying that this can fix a lot of their problems as well. This is the first time in my 12 years in education that I would walk away from a legislative session and feel like we came out better than we went in. I’ll take it.
  2. What if she just broke into his house and shot him then claimed she thought it was her house?
  3. Instead of asking “for ztejas” ask “which passenger are you looking for” or something similar. The driver will have to know your name vs just saying yes. Even if you aren’t concerned about your security it will help with the drivers that don’t speak English well and just say yes. When I drive (for uber) down certain streets like Rainey or the 7th street pick up area I have to keep my doors locked with all the fools trying to jump in. Learned my lesson when some chicks did that and I couldn’t get them out. They offered cash to take them somewhere but I declined for a couple of reasons. 1. No insurance in that situation. 2. No digital record of the trip and I don’t want to be accused of anything.
  4. I came here for the “my wife is spending so much I will never retire” posts. Disappointed.
  5. Haven’t you heard, sky bridges are racist.
  6. Goes great with ketchup
  7. Beto wasn’t even in the race when people were asked who they would support if Biden dropped out. It’s logical to think that as time goes on and his name recognition goes up, he will pick up more of Biden’s vote. Beto isn’t picking up a lot of progressives but those people aren’t in Biden’s camp anyway.
  8. That data was collected mid February. I think Beto would pick up more of Biden’s vote now that his campaign is up and rolling. I see Warren’s people mostly going to Bernie no matter what Beto does.
  9. It’s weird to say that the guy leading in the polls won’t run but I don’t think he will. I think he knows his campaign would be doomed from the start and there’s too much baggage.

    Came here to post this.
  11. I think they do it so that any prior transgressions that would be immediately brought up after an announcement are already out of the way. For example, Biden can let this Hill stuff play out then announce later. The announcement is then the news, not the other stuff.
  12. Her family is like the villains in movies from my childhood. Worth 5.4 billion, have a 40 million dollar yacht, cut special Olympics because they had to make “tough decisions”.
  13. I’ll agree as well. I’m not sure what he offers other than name recognition, which will even out as the race goes on. He has high level experience but that seems to be an overrated quality (to voters) these days.
  14. Did he yell worldstar before swinging?
  15. I have no issue with betos four month break considering the insane amount of energy he expended in the senate race. I think he knew he wanted to run for president but that it would possibly be a two year slog with the same level of energy required. Taking a few months, resting, and contemplating things was well deserved. If poor and minority candidates don’t have that same opportunity, it’s not beto’s fault.
  16. Looks like I agree with BT on this take. It also is much easier for republican candidates to rally their base as they have many more common unifiers. Bringing a diverse party together will always be more difficult but there is so much potential, especially as America becomes more diverse.
  17. This place looks like my personal hell on earth.
  18. Talked with a few work friends that are all democrats this evening. We are all Beto supporters but I am spreading the word about mayor Pete as well. They were all very impressed with the videos they saw and will look more into him. This guy just needs to keep at it and get his exposure level up. If not for this election then the next.
  19. He said in living memory. Are you older than brat?
  20. America has faced tougher times. We have not faced tougher times as far as the electorate and how we treat each other. Trump is a symptom of a larger problem that Beto is trying to address.
  21. Clearly, but there is a way to go about a primary so that you don’t end up with a damaged candidate and a fractured party.
  22. You are such a fucking beating. Every tweet or article about Beto from a mainstream reporter gets inundated with Bernie bros talking shit. It’s not like this is a one time thing I found in a dark corner of the internet. We are (or should be) on the same team in trying to defeat trump.
  23. Mayor Pete is great and I’m glad he’s in the race. My dream scenario would be a Beto/Kamala ticket with Pete getting a high ranking position in the administration to launch his campaign with more name recognition and experience. If it looks like now is his time then I will happily support him.
  24. If I was talking about you, I would have used your name. Many Bernie supporters on the internet were claiming that almost all of betos money was coming from big donors, bundlers, his family, etc. This was bullshit and anybody with a brain knew it from the beginning. Now that the facts are out do the attacks stop? Of course not. Bernie bros are now claiming “fake news”. They are the lefts trumptards.
  25. The Bernie bros will not stop. They lack any self awareness. The ones on twitter “don’t believe the numbers”. Facts are as important to them as they are to trumpsters. Beto people are in for a rude awakening.
