    Please tell me this is hyperbole and all the uvalde PD involved in that humiliating tragedy have been fired. If this is accurate, it’s just too much 

    I more meant DPS, who was also on the scene in force at Uvalde. And to the contrary, the police have investigated themselves and found the response was actually the correct and appropriate. That was big ugly news a few months ago.

    Link or speculation? Forgive me if I don’t consider your speculation worth anything.  

    Abbott's claim is that perry acted in self defense when he ran a red light to aggressively swerve into protesters who were protesting police brutality. That is a complete fucking lie and ignoring what actually happened in favor of alternative facts that map to the culture war.

    Perry was premeditated in his action to swerve into protesters and shoot them. We have the fucking receipts for it. 

    Why are you happy about releasing this fucking murderer?

    So your problem is with pardons, or the letter behind the the name of the person who granted it.  You have issues with the adjudication of the marijuana users that’s proposed/happening?  Or is that ok because it fits your worldview?  What should be pardoned, and by whom would it be acceptable for you? 

    TIL marijuana smokers are killing other people with their actions. 

    What a completely unhinged comparison between a violent person who sought out conflict, and people who want to get stoned. What the actual fuck?

     

    It's not speculation - we KNOW that he went there to target and harm protesters simply because he didn't like their speech. I have a problem that a violent person is being released and given back his gun rights simply because the governor liked who he was doing violence against. 

     

    The timing of this pardon along with the deployment of the Uvalde Defenders to violently quash the protests at UT sends a pretty fucking clear message: Protesters are open season in Texas. Seek redress of grievances against your government at risk of life and liberty.

    I’m ok with them shooting a trump supporter wielding an AK-47, yes.  This is the Gritty-est of Gritty moments.  Y’all love the FAFO mantra, embrace it   

    Hey dipshit, this guy was found guilty by jury of murder. That's not FAFO, that's a pedophile killing people because he dislikes their politics. 

    Fucking crazy how many of you fuckers are aligned with texags on this

    Weed (and therapy) most likely saved me from a full fledged mental collapse when I was a young man. Additionally it helped keep me from what would have likely been a pill problem that could have taken any number of roads.  
     

    not to mention I watched my mom go through colon cancer, and saw how impactful marijuana was in her pain mitigation and relief treatment. 

    A friend of mine from a few jobs ago developed some joint issues and ended up developing gout. His doctor's prescribed him a bunch of opioids, but he just smoked weed for pain relief and completely effectively managed his pain. 

    It's such a farce that weed is considered so dangerous in the eyes of the law.

    We are almost 60 days out from due date.....nerves are starting to build for me and the wife. She's starting to get scared about delivery and that process. Any tips on how to calm her down about that? Apparently just go with the flow and breathe isn't the right thing to say. haha

    One thing that helped my wife and I was to write out a birth plan with all of her goals and preferences for care during labor and delivery. It helped us game out and think through what was and wasn't important, like no episiotomy and delayed cord clamping etc etc. 

    But honestly, even with taking classes and having a great support structure, the last trimester was hell for my wife. She got less and less comfortable every day until the delivery - and then you're perpetually tired lol. 

     

    Shoot me a PM if you'd like, I'd be happy to share our 1pager birth plan that we wrote up

     

    Edit: and my wife was SO glad she got an epidural, 11/10 in her words

  6. For the record, I'm just posting Boeing pilot error fuckups. Airlines have pretty regular incidents like an engine flaring out - it's why there's such a stringent safety culture in aviation. To make it so there's one less variable when an emergency is happening. 

    But Boeing has broken and danced on the grave of that convention and professional standard. And people are dying for the sake of their shareholder gainz

  7. My wife and I both have ancestors that fought for Texas independence, her parents have a framed land grant signed by Anson fucking Jones of the Republic of Texas. We are talking and figuring out where we're gonna go. We don't know where, but we don't feel great about raising a daughter here

    It was definitely as bad as a hurricane, for about 15 minutes.   Of course when a hurricane hits you have days to prepare this fucker we knew about like 10 minutes ahead of time. 

    It's nuts, I was walking my dog at 530 and it was sunny and nice but a little humid and then fast forward an hour and it was the fucking end of the world

    I’ve had about enough of you. This is your last warning. 

    It's something else to read the early posts of the DT thread about the shooting - it's the exact same fucking rhetoric from the same shitty right wing posters cheering on protesters being brutalized by DPS. Now, it's a state policy that protesters have no rights and can be killed without penalty - fatty is just overjoyed with his policy win

    Any reports on how Gessner area just north of I10 fared?

    That's my neck of the woods, there were a bunch of businesses and buildings that were completely ruined with the roof pulled off. My FIL's office is near there on the other side of BW8 and his office had their giant steel rolling doors pushed in, and the resulting low pressure spike in the building gutted the drop ceiling and HVAC system

    You don’t think Mrs. Alito is justice Alitos wife? Or are you insinuating he did the flag thing himself. 

    I believe he's insinuating that alito either put the flag up or directed his wife to put it up. Which given the mealy mouthed excuse given by alito seems not unlikely

  12. Quotes from the man who was just pardoned for shooting a protester: 

    "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters" 

    "to [sic] bad we can't get paid for hunting Muslims in Europe."

    "It is official I am a racist because I do not agree with people acting like animals at the zoo. I was on the side of the protestors until they started with the looting and the violence”

     "black lives matter movement to a zoo full of monkeys that are freaking out flinging their sh*t."

     See this text exchange

     

    Not to mention he was pursuing minors online… a pedo to boot! What a very fine person to get a pardon
