  1. Dems cannibalize viable candidate over policy disagreement that general voters won't understand; news at 11! Shit nobody gets their exact policy implemented, but it's at least an indicator of what they think is important. Dems have been selling out in primaries for the boring wonks and then get smoked by people who are interesting and can actually speak like people
  2. This is the essence of my feelings as well. The (D)'s have been so far up their ass about policy for decades that they never stopped to realize that it's ALL over the average voter's head. They ain't gonna win elections by boring everyone to death and telling them to Pokemon Go to the polls! The democratic party leadership is so atrophied and calcified in place, it needs to be fucking cleaned out. None of these fucksticks have done anything worth a shit since trump got elected, and have been defecting in small numbers to enable his policy advances.
  3. As pointed out, the 2016 CC that turned down the grant because OBAMA was a seasoned NASA admin who commanded shuttle and ISS missions. Dude WAS smart, he's just a selfish fuck
  4. On that note, an open source product actually can deliver FSD to any modem car! It's got about the same quality as FSD, but it's only $1000
  5. The mayor of LA came out and confronted ICE agents sweeping a park for dark skinned people to arrest https://www.foxla.com/news/ice-operation-macarthur-park-july-7-2025 Now that ICE is better funded than the Marines, I imagine LA is going to get progrom'd. At least if the president's July 4th message about remigration is to be believed.
  6. I wonder how long before Maxwell files for release since she never had a client list
  7. BAW GAWD THAT'S BLACKLABS MUSIC
  8. Aw fuck lol. Goddamnit. Posting with a flu is a bad idea. I'm gonna blame autocorrect lol But seriously, what the fuck is going on?
  9. CNN is doing some big reporting on the ground. Their chief investigative reporter is a Mystic Alum and is following the story. Quoting from another thread: Horrible receipts to find. Kerr County didn't interact with NWS while all adjacent counties did.
  10. Isn't it funny how in 2019 the cameras were broken outside his cell, and now in 2025 there's no client list and there's actually video but it's missing a minute? YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME BILL BARR WOULD LIE TO ME??? Not the man who ushered Iran/Contra through its burial in the news? If it weren't so gross and horrific that this ring of child abuse and traffic weren't being protected by the Trump administration, it would be funny. Edit: the above source is garbage but it's what I found. Here's a more authoritative source: https://www.justice.gov/video-files/video2.mp4 The video shifts frame and timing after the 1 minute skip. Which is not something you typically want to see in clean evidence.
  11. Early 2021, just after the inauguration if I'm not mistaken
  12. Accountability is CR
  13. They literally had >$5M dropped into one of their accounts and they refused to spend it because it was from the Federal Government and they would do a COVID on them. I'm not fucking kidding They eventually signed a $7.5M contract with Motorola for emergecny comms which just serve fire fighters, cops, and EMS.
  14. what the fuck? Flooding and hurricanes affects us all - it's not political. What the fuck is wrong with some of you? We shouldn't be cheering on the woodchipping of our emergency infrastructure. Fecklessly attempting to shout down factual reporting is fucking political. It's a goddamn weather man!
  15. Parents, counselors, and campers are victims in all of this. State and local leadership are the ones responsible for this mass casualty event
  16. Not they aren't. They're still voting down early warning systems, and refusing to spend one red dime on anything that doesn't benefit them directly. In their meeting minutes, they specifically said they didn't want sirens since they'd only be useful for non-locals. Whoops. A bunch of non-local children died.
  17. They very literally turned down getting a flood alert system in place in 2015 because the funds would have come from the Obama administration. City of Kerrville leadership CHOSE to not have alert system. Below is the transcript from that meeting: Mr. Hewitt: Sirens did not seem to get very much support. The thought was that sirens are better for tourists than local residents. The sirens would only be beneficial for someone that's not familiar with the area, and wouldn't know what to do. .... COMMISSIONER MOSER: The cost of that whole thing is going to be like 976 thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. All of it, and the reason we're here today and moving so quickly is that there is a FEMA grant that's available until as long as we apply by January the 20th. JUDGE POLLARD: Which is when President Obama goes out of office. (Laughter.) JUDGE POLLARD: Well, the reason I mention that is because he authorized this particular thing, and it's going to -- MS. KIRBY: It's a coincidence. COMMISSIONER MOSER: Going on the record with that it's a coincidence. And so there has to be a presidential declaration of disaster to be able to have these kinds of funds available. So it goes away just so happens to be when he leaves office. ... COMMISSIONER REEVES: And I will say and, Sheriff, you can correct me if I'm off base on this, the camps have had a very good system of letting down river if there's a rise, they're phoning their competitors or colleagues down river and letting them know what happened. It's informal as you said, but it's been a very good system to let them know over time. more good links to the meeting minutes in the link below in the spoiler. They also turned down an ARPA grant in 2021 because it came from the wrong color president and they were being crazy about COVID. We're all getting the Texas that we voted for. And it is a Texas that doesn't give a shit about dead children.
  18. The same man who said we should all be doing is praying, is the same man who unilaterally authorized billions for a border wall project that has since been abandoned unfinished. There's money available, but that would be admitting that the climate has changed and become more dangerous for Texans. But I'll leave further comments for a more appropriate thread.
  19. Not like there's a parable explicitly about that or anything lol. My biggest issue is that the State is advocating for prayer over implementation of meaningful flood alert and warning systems. Can't spend a million on sirens, but can find billions for hateful projects that are quickly abandoned. But please keep praying!!!!
  20. Energy Corridor around Memorial and Kempwood had a bunch of green ribbons and bows on trees
  21. Holy shit Annie I don't know what you're saying but you're derailing the thread. Go deny some treatments or something, cheer yourself up. But mainly, fuck off.
  22. Not for nothing, but 5 out of 5 of my wife's cousins (no pics) that went to Camp Mystic are/were biiiiiiig into Greek Life, and were all debutantes. Camp Mystic ain't fo po' people
  23. You sure about that? "It could have been worse"
  24. Never believe that fascists are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words.
  25. Almost like there was a concerted effort to overrule empirical reality with rhetoric and propaganda, or something
