    Texas Primaries

    And 365 of them are related to @BearSchlong
  2. I don’t know how anyone “frequents” Franklins unless they are retired…
  3. I’ll probably regret this later but I would take Dusty back right now.
  4. Frankly, I’ve moved on to the potential bloodbath Dem primary in ‘28. Or the VP nomination when Biden dies in office and the House and Senate get to vote on Kamala’s nominee. I can see her nominating someone loudly divisive like Hillary, because fuck everyone, that’s why.
  5. That's because the campaign has been deploying her only when it's safe...
  6. I guess--my understanding from the guys getting top billing at the Texas One Fund event is that they take seriously that there's an actual endorsement made (like the Arnold and Itkin interviews). They also take compliance seriously, just like everyone else does that wants to be welcome at Bellmont.
  7. I might be misreading your post, but are you proposing salary caps on endorsements?
  8. Let’s not get hysterical here-there’s a lot of ways this can play out that don’t point to a Trump victory.
  9. Jesus, that’s awful.
  10. Personally, I'm looking forward to a guilty verdict so I can have a brief moment of satisfaction before the polls come out and show it resulted in a gain in popularity.
  11. I think I'd prefer a manager, at least for this Astros team, that the players all hated but understood was ruthless in search of tactical efficiency. Zero loyalty, zero "he did it last year, back of the baseball card" nonsense and was relying heavily on data. @Wulaw Horn and others (including me) have opined that a championship aspirant shouldn't be breaking in a rookie manager--maybe it's also that THIS Astros team shouldn't be breaking in THIS manager. @Planet HoustonDidn't you have a contact in the GM's office? Do you hear anything that colors Espada as more of a taskmaster behind the scenes?
  12. Maybe--Seth Rogen was on a podcast recently and rebutted that with "people still go to museums." Maybe rather than dying it's just evolving (but certainly the market place for films is de-emphasizing theatrical).
  13. I beg your pardon? I know we like to extol these folks as "The Generation Generation", and maybe they were, but as a USMC OIF veteran I feel reasonably well assured that there's simply no clear condition under which surrender would be considered an option, particularly so if you want to describe it as "we", i.e., it's a unit or a platoon surrender. All of this is just fantasizing, anyway, but I'd far rather have been freezing in Belgium than running patrols through the jungles of South Vietnam. Those guys were very tough and by comparison get little of the glory. I tried to show it to my 7 year old boy and only got through Carentan before my wife caught us and shut it down as too violent. I conceded mostly because I didn't think he was appreciating the parts of it that come along with the violence-the sacrifice for your comrades in arms, the devotion to the mission, the confusion and fear and how that's normal. There's a lot to learn and as a parent you almost have to be a commentary track. I haven't tried to show him The Pacific yet (I was a little underwhelmed, myself), but his great-grandfather survived Bataan so perhaps he'll be more interested.
  14. Oh come on, that's ridiculous. He's a professional politician and totally incapable of remaining silent when there's an opportunity to give himself a pat on the back. The challenge is that the media either a) isn't interested in repeating it or b) they are repeating it but the story of those accomplishments simply isn't that compelling (or both). This may be false hope but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that, as the election nears, all this money he's raised will be used to flood the airwaves with SOMETHING. Unfortunately, the truth is most of the media would far rather report on whatever imbecilic thing Trump has done that day because outrage sells.
  15. Nitpicking but Compton was an officer-it’s an important distinction because the series touches on how it impacts the relationships the men have to one another frequently (and not just with Compton-the salute stuff with Sobel, Winters’ promotions, Nixon’s demotion, etc.)
  16. Well, on the bright side everyone else on the team is doing great tonight.
  17. I’m not sure I would castigate the whole generation, but perhaps your intention was just in reference to those in “the pack”. There’s a ton of versatile actors like Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh and Tilda Swinton that are in the same age group.
  18. The other flaw with @CHIEF’s prediction is its presumption that the central government in China or India have control over their market participants and could enforce transactions in their sovereign currency. The Eurodollar podcast guys have repeatedly pointed out that every time, for example, the Chinese start making pronouncements that this might happen, large amounts of private money flows out of the country. Chinese investors may not like using dollars, but they like them a whole lot more than yuan.
  19. I’m going to presume it wasn’t dictated by the team and was previously negotiated with the player. I guess they could have threatened assignment. For all we know they did, or maybe they didn’t have to, and this was the result anyway.
  20. Granted no one has invested $60m in me with $40m still left to go, but if I sucked at my job I really doubt my PIP would would be nearly so full of support and encouragement as Abreu’s seems to have been…
  21. That’s why I declined to answer-intuitively it seems there would be some limitations on it best answered by a CPA.
  22. Conceptually it doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to find the source.
  23. I haven’t dug into this but I’m a little surprised we haven’t cracked Russia’s ability to remote pilot those things.
  24. Yeah, I keep seeing him at concerts and evening events and he looks like someone cruising for a second wife. I’m sure “oh yeah, I’m kind of a big deal in politics-I’m the Travis County Republican Chair” plays great with the Austin Bumble coterie.
