  1. Arch is ass. This team is ass. Ass is ass. Assetty ass-ass mcasserson.
  2. The whole team is ass.
  3. Why do I keep watching this fucking team? Obviously, I hate myself.
  4. Oh, and when we left our house today, our long-time handyman was there working (some deferred maintenance we’re catching up on). We’ve known him and been close with him for years; he got married (by my wife) on our back deck. He’s Mexican, with legal status. But many of his friends and colleagues are at risk. As we gathered our stuff, he asked if we were going to protest. My wife said “absolutely.” Long pause, then “thank you.” As we marched, I said “man, a paleta cart would be next level here, for multiple reasons.” Well, lo and behold, when we got to auditorium shores…. Finally, on the walk back, car driving along the 1st street bridge beside us. Guy hollers out the window at all of us walking by - “I’m from Canada, and you all are great!” Different folks, from our whole continent. We aren’t going away.
  5. Remember, today was a reminder to all of us that it’s not Trump’s America. It’s ours. We the fucking people. And we’re not just going to hand it over.
  6. The missus bearing witness. And she’s been wearing the hell outta that shirt. Because Mary had some shit to say, and she wasn’t holding back. The Magnificat: It was the biggest such event I’ve ever been at. The crowd was perfectly peaceful, but also fucking serious. It was diverse racially, gender, culture, hippies, professionals, veterans, everyone. It was patriotic as hell, flags everywhere, citations to the constitution all over, love of country proclaimed loudly. We are patriots. Those who would hand over our Republic to a dictator who opposes everything America stands for are traitors. Never forget that.
  7. I yelled up at the APD chopper working overhead. Honestly, I don’t think they heard me. They were pretty high up there, and the rotor blades are pretty loud.
  8. Good. Let them show their anti-American, anti-first amendment colors. Peaceful protesters, standing peacefully but FIRMLY in front of the Gestapo. This is how you turn the tide.
  9. I hear you. But any age of American innocence is over. I wish it wasn’t. But it is.
  10. Yeah, the French toast at Bardot is fucking unreal.
  11. Just get Kinkos to blow that up to sign size.
  12. Well, see…the problem is that “roadworthiness” is woke.
  13. Bouchon is at the Venetian. That’s where I’d have your Sunday brunch. The quiche is fucking insane, as is anything with scrambled eggs.
  14. There are few sadder clauses in the English language than "in Anahuac." At this point, he's doing these for two points: (1) to demonstrate the benefits of absolute loyalty to the regime (bow and blow me, and you can have immunity from all laws, inside tips to millions, etc.), and (2) showing the rest of the world that he is willing to use his power in ways that have no limits or guardrails. It's rubbing everyone else's nose in a pile of "I can do anything, even batshit insane and evil shit, and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Donald Trump is the most evil American in our lifetime.
  15. If we don't capitalize on this greeting card opportunity, we're missing the boat.
  16. You done fucked up, A-aron! Seriously.....walking right into the arms of a nation state that will happily ship his ass to Gitmo was perhaps not the wisest choice. I do love watching fuckheads get what they deserve.
  17. I see multiple uses of the letters D, E, and I in that letter. UVA must be punished for its woke insolence.
  18. Fucking this. We have a fucking Mt. Everest-height pile of such examples. And even better, the more "religious" the community at issue, the MORE likely they are to brush it under the rug, excuse it, etc. We make fun of every hoodrat type being defended as "he's a good kid!", but goddamn.....I don't think there's a more damning thing that can be said about a person these days than "he's a good Christian man." I hear that phrase, and I immediately wonder "oh shit, what awful thing did he do?"
  19. An update just circulated by one of the Federal court districts in Texas: Federal Judiciary Limited Operations Beginning October 20 The federal judiciary nationally has exhausted all available non-appropriated and no-year funds and will move into a non-paid status effective Monday, October 20, because Congress has not passed a continuing resolution or appropriations bill to fund the Third Branch of government. We are required to abide by the terms of the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341, et seq. We apologize for any inconvenience to you and to your clients. The district court will continue to hear and decide cases. The clerk’s office will accept and timely process all civil and criminal filings, continue regular administration of the jury and grand jury system (including payment of petit and grand jurors), and will collect and deposit fees and costs into the Treasury. The clerk’s office will also process registry fund transactions and restitution disbursements. Court reporters will continue to transcribe proceedings and produce transcripts. Court security services, including security screening at all courthouses, will continue as usual. Staff will generally not be available to respond to inquiries that are not related to case administration. Attorney admission work will continue, but certificates of good standing will not be issued. Oaths will be administered, but no new ceremonial events, tours, or training will be scheduled. The court’s website will not be updated unless necessitated by an emergency. The clerk’s office will not be able to issue Pay.gov refunds. IT staff will keep the judiciary’s systems functioning and perform work necessary to protect the systems against cyberattacks. IT staff will also provide courtroom assistance to ensure that all audio-visual equipment functions normally. Attorney wi-fi services in the courtrooms, which are funded with non-appropriated funds, will still be available. IT staff will not be able to troubleshoot or help with CM/ECF problems that are related to an external user’s IT system. CJA attorneys have not been paid or received expense reimbursements since July, but CJA vouchers have been audited and are in line for payment at the earliest opportunity. As of October 20, CJA attorneys should continue to submit vouchers for payment; however, the new vouchers cannot be reviewed or audited until the judiciary is funded. The vouchers will be maintained in order of receipt for immediate review and will be given priority once the judiciary receives funding. Contractors have been notified of our inability to pay. In the context of case administration, this could impact an interpreter’s willingness to work in federal court. We have one staff interpreter in the district, and we can also use telephonic interpreting services for some proceedings. With rare exception (for example, due to a life safety issue), we will not be able to obligate funds for repairs and alterations of our courtrooms or courthouses. Projects that were obligated in a previous fiscal year will proceed. Staff will not be paid for the duration of the shutdown and will, therefore, not be expected to respond to after-hours or weekend inquiries or requests. Any calls or messages received after 4:30 p.m. will have to wait until the following business day for a response. Thanks for your patience and understanding as we navigate this unfortunate situation.
  20. You think this. And you're kinda right. At least, as to how the families of the identified victims feel. But you have missed this truth: The rest of the team and the town are gonna blame the victim for "ruining Celina football," and "not keeping it in the family -- football is family!" That's how these things work.
  21. Hey guys....remember back when we used to have those "you don't want to see what I wouldn't bang" conversations? Well, now you've seen it. She's fucking hideous in every possible way.
  22. I mean.....have you met us? It's not an unreasonable conclusion.
