  1. People hated HRC and she fostered that over decades: stay at home making cookies, taking charge of health care, defending her husband against sexual assault charges (and then saying we should believe the women), basket of deplorables.....
  2. I respectfully disagree vehemently. She played a very large role in that, and had for quite a long time.
  3. Don't downplay the role that HRC played in (very successfully) getting people to hate her. Also, the people you describe (which could fit many families here), imo, do not consume quality news, if any news at all. They don't really care to learn the details of our government, imo. It's "Trump is my guy, turn off brain" for them. Doesn't matter if Trump's policies harm them or not.
  4. That split doesn't tell us the reason for the split. Boys aren't going/applying? Boys are applying but aren't being admitted?
  5. Exactly, and now those texas lawmakers have to contend with browns and blacks possibly being let out of jail via bail reform. Their heads must be exploding.
  6. Why bargain a case down if the state can't convict? Even neophytes can get a lawyer.
  7. I find Trump's statement much more xenophobic and anti-immigrant than racist. But it is based on racism.
  8. So even if the defense can argue that there isn't sufficient proof that the item is, in fact, dope things won't change much? Maybe. I doubt it, though. And El Paso's response was pretty dim, imo. This is a rather big "out" for defendants.
  9. In summation: Texas politicians are even dumber than you thought. But this time, it has a positive outcome.
  10. No, that's not my argument.
  11. I don't know how much of a duty is created by a tenant "cautioning" the driver.
  12. Delivery guys were told not to attempt going down a narrow, tree-lined, drive with their massive truck. I don't think this will count for much. Was the street "zoned" for smaller type trucks?
  13. Sounds like they went down a public street in a municipality that didn't take adequate measures to allow for commercial traffic. Good luck.
  14. Read it again. He was a party to it. And it affected the ability of the government to ascertain his citizenship status.
  15. The reason it appears to have taken CBP and ICE so long to determine Galicia’s citizenship is because his mother, who is not a citizen, took out a U.S. tourist visa in his name while he was still a minor, falsely saying he was born in Mexico, Galan said. His mother, Sanjuana, told The Washington Post that CBP discovered the visa after fingerprinting her son. The conflicting documents only fueled the agency’s suspicion that Galicia’s U.S. documents were fake, Galan said. Wow. Who could have foreseen that this was wrong and could have caused a problem? I hate Trump, what ICE/CBP are doing, but my limited reserve of sympathies are going to others who don't commit dumb-ass fraud like this. This story is more complicated than most were led to believe. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/07/23/francisco-erwin-galicia-ice-cpb-us-citizen-detained-texas/?utm_term=.62010f76941b
  16. If you're an American citizen, they why do you have (fraudulent) documents from another country saying that you're a citizen of that country? Yeah, CPB/ICE screwed up. But this snafu is on this guy (and his dumb-ass mom).
  17. Then why not just say that? Why go through the bullshit of saying he's going to make it top 25? This is the type of crap that needs to be called out, imo.
  18. You sound like a UofH bschool grad. As if those are the only two options....
  19. Dude is out to lunch. He (KUHF interview) wants to make the UofH a top 50 B-school within so many years and top 25 sometime after that (can't remember the exact time frame). Why is he misguided? MBA (full-time) programs are waning, and the UofH simply doesn't have the wherewithal to compete with the big guns. Are they an ok to good school? Probably. But to espouse a top 25 ranking? Bullshit. It's akin to attempting to make a moderately talented high school athlete a top college/pro athlete. Unrealistic and shows a lack of judgment. UofH is a regional school (at best). It probably has shed it's Cougar High/commuter school image but top 25 in the US? Really? Go for something more realistic. Provide a good education to locals and produce competent business professionals. You want top 25? Go to UT. He just wants to raise some money then hightail it to a better gig. Such is the fate of UofH.
  20. Wrong. That looks like pickled herring, which is awesome.
  21. And to add, the Univ. of Illinois is a pretty good school. Really good, as a matter of fact. But I still hate the Illini.
  22. Look, neg me if you want, but "vows" don't mean shit. Meaning, if you want to uphold them you will. If you're looking for a reason to violate them, you will. It's up to you. Not the "vows". Just be a stand-up human being. Don't blindly follow "vows". But don't use that as an excuse/reason to break them, either. Think for yourself. Be an adult.
  23. Third time's a charm. Or so I've heard.
