  1. These this. https://www.tdcj.texas.gov/bpp/Sgt_Perry_PR.pdf but surely something more is out there.
  2. Slovakia Pres then Iranian Pres then … oh man this is building toward something great. I feel like you need another step before you get to Putin/Dotard/Xi. So Lil Kim, Orban, watch your corn holes.
  3. If I was Trumps lawyer there would be no way I’d let him get within 100 miles of the witness stand. I can’t imagine anyone having more material on them that would show they have a tendency to lie.
  4. Are we learning that campaigning is valueless? Nothing has changed in the last year, one side has all the money and all the time. The other side has no money and is locked up in a courtroom and under literal orders to not say what he wants to to fire up his base. Yet nothing.
  5. Team RISP0-18 (O'Hoppe 0-1, Guillorme 0-2, Moniak 0-2, Ward 0-2, Rengifo 0-3, Adell 0-1, Calhoun 0-2, Schanuel 0-3, Neto 0-2) good game good effort
  6. Best chance for Biden winning us for everyone to be reminded of trumps shittiness. Him being in trial and not campaigning hampers that.
  7. Today’s NYT Crossword was very sub-Friday level. Not much harder than a Monday.
  8. ? "We reject those remarks. Here are all the ways we teach that show that there are a number of high callings for women" seems pretty responsive.
  9. i'd like to put my vote in for calling flying a flag upside down as a "stop the steal symbol" as really dumb. me: [picks my boogers] slate: behold is wanting me to throw a fastball, because one finger is the fastball symbol.
  10. Then, yes, you belong on TexAgs. Your exact mentality is well represented over there. Post some links of this if you can. I could use some liberal tears right about now.
  11. I don't want to engage in message board bullshit on something this important. Do you have something you'd like to share? Was there some finding that the jury did that?
  12. I've been thinking about this for the last 24 hours. It's really gotten under my skin. This really does represent a new low. How many murders happen in our state every year? Over 2000. Clearance rate? 70%. How many pardons for those 1400 people? 1, as far as I can tell. Two guys meet on the street. Both armed. One shoots the other. Justified? Murder? Who knows? A 12 person jury is the way you determine that. And they determined that here. Abbott said this is the single one the jury got wrong. I PROMISE you the political beliefs of the victim played into this decision. Abbott doesn't know this guy from Adam. He just knows that the state will smile on him for eliminating someone associated with a political belief that is out of favor.
  13. With SC and iowa, the primaries are the reason you see weird effects there. Those are the two states with important primaries which drives a ton of contributions that don't happen in nonprimary years. 2020 was a contested D primary, lots of donations to everyone D, so the 2024 sees a huge negative delta. 2024 was contested R, lots to everyone R, so huge positive delta over 2020.
  14. this board's ability to get hurt feelings is desperate and sad.
  15. NYT: Votes for Haley aren't predictive of anything. In fact, they are low by historic standards. (Biden 2020 had 23% of people voting for folks other than him in the primaries after all other serious contenders dropped out) https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/04/24/us/elections/nikki-haley-trump-zombie-votes.html
  16. Other interesting ones include big gains in NC for Biden, which is my one pic for Red -> Blue this cycle. There are circumstantial effects here that are a big deal on a state-by-state basis, as explained by the Times.
  17. really interesting study on change of number of donors by county. a nice measure of support i've not seen looked at. so you're not just looking at numbers, but the change since 2020, which is useful to compare against because you know who won each state in 2020. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/16/us/elections/biden-trump-donors.html AZ: Biden (left), Trump (Right). Green is positive delta against 2020, orange negative.
  18. the travis and drainage basin -- basically from the lake west to fredricksburg -- is the driest soil out there. there's not going to be any water headed to travis that doesn't go through buchanan first.
  19. i was born right at the end of his presidency. it would have been neat to see the machinations that brought him to power. a very 'non-presidential' feeling president edit: mechanations isn't a word? how long have i been saying it like that?
  20. it happens more often than you'd think. the defense can still be a number of different things: "that stuff you said i did doesn't meet the statute." "that guy that is the lynchpin to the whole thing just misremembered the conversation." whatever. those sorts of defenses don't lend themselves to witnesses for the defense.
  21. Oops, did I leave an Ohio class submarine near crimea?
