  1. To be fair, it was second and third teamers who were eating his lunch. So lot’s of “potential” for growth.
  2. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/12/17/travis-county-district-attorney-austin-police/ These are separate quotes from the article. There is other info in the article where people may see some of Garza's activities as positive, but i am just pulling ones regarding activities creating distrust with police and why police may no longer be aggressively working low level crimes. The tension and distrust between Garza and Austin police has damaged their working relationship, according to interviews and documents. Within Garza’s office, which includes 100 attorneys, his approach has triggered strife about whether he is going too far, too fast. Nineteen prosecutors have resigned, documents show, in many cases disagreeing openly with the level and pace of change. The son of a civil rights lawyer, Garza was 39 when he launched his campaign. He was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and had never been a prosecutor or sought any other public office. He had worked as a public defender on the Texas-Mexico border, and, most recently, he led an advocacy group for migrant construction workers. “The public just voted to put in someone to the district attorney’s office that ran on prosecuting police and not prosecuting drug crimes, or hardly any other crimes,” Austin Police Association President Ken Casaday told the local Fox News affiliate at the time. “They don’t want an active police department. ... What I’m telling my guys is, ‘Answer your calls and that is it.’” Liberal activists also praised Garza for sending more defendants to pretrial diversion programs than ever before and for ensuring that more people were getting out of jail without having to post bond. "Meanwhile, Garza and Travis County Attorney Delia Garza (the two are not related) imposed new scrutiny of arrests. For decades, police in the county had been able to arrest people, jail them and secure criminal charges and an initial cash bail from judges. A person might remain in jail for days before a prosecutor reviewed the case and decided whether to dismiss the charges. Under the new process, police still could arrest someone, but prosecutors would review the paperwork before it reached a judge. If they rejected the charges, the person would be freed within hours. José Garza planned to decline most felony drug possession charges if the amount of drugs was less than a gram. He also said prosecutors would decline other charges if police had not provided enough probable cause. Delia Garza’s office, meanwhile, began rejecting misdemeanor charges, including criminal trespassing and evading arrest." But police were frustrated. Amid the explosion of Austin’s homeless population, they were constantly getting calls about trespassing and vandalism. Now, many of the people arrested as a result of those calls would be back out on the street the same day. “Many times, having people in jail, at least for a day or two, can help defuse [an unsafe] situation,” Joseph Chacon, who replaced Brian Manley as chief of police in March, said in an interview. Now, in many cases, “we don’t have that any longer.”
  3. Well, one of them is going to love him unconditionally forever, and one of them is a bitch.
  4. I think it was Jesus who said "Let he who has not forced hot sauce and chocolate cookies between someones ass-cheeks cast the first stone!"
  5. To be fair, indoor plumbing is likely not something many of the incoming students/families are familiar with.
  6. Swan's are just Geese that are putting on heirs.
  7. It’s been a while since I read the books, but I think this is right.
  8. In two days? From an explosion where this happened - "When Dugina "turned onto the Mozhaiskoye highway near the village of Bolshiye Vyazemi, there was an explosion, the car caught fire immediately," Krasnov told TASS. The flames completely engulfed it. She lost control because she was driving at high speed and flew to the opposite side of the road," Krasnov added, as cited by TASS." So two days from the explosion and being burned up to a perfect open casket funeral. They are so good it is almost unbelievable. But to see how good they are, within 1-2 days they knew not just the explosive used, but the exact amount "Russian officials said the explosive device was attached under the car "on the driver's side," and 400g of TNT was used, according to TASS." Again, it's hard to believe the FSB is this good. But saying that could get you arrested in Russia, so we know it's true!
  9. To be fair she is right. She can tell them anything she wants, but if she does it is tortious interference.
  10. Colonoscopy's can be a blessing in so many ways!
  11. But did he capitalize it?
  12. And with"Don't Mess with Texas" crossed out, does that mean they are pro-trash and pro-litter?
  13. People’s Republican Army is shit! I am team Republican People’s Army!
  14. Agree. His death by “US/NATO” would be claimed to silence him and his great ideas… of bigotry, genocide and Russian supremacy. He would be painted as a martyr. But much like the FSB agents who were told to get Sim cards to plant at “terrorist” locations, but then buy Sim City video games and plant them, they screwed this up too. They will still spin it in some way.
  15. They want to distract their populace from focusing on the real issue which is that they invaded another country and are now losing. Additionally, if the US/NATO or anyone intervenes in any way that involves people (clean up/containment) or military support Putin can point to this and say "See, I was right that this is all US/NATO and not us invading a country and losing, so we now have to call this a war and go to general mobilization!"
  16. Does anyone know what Parliament posted, I have him on ignore?
  17. I always assumed your name was Super Hello, but you just signed up by doing it phonetically. But seriously I like most of your posts so I say not to change it unless you have some kind of NowThis moment.
  18. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and assholery.
  19. 99% chance I am going to have my kidney harvested......but I'm not willing to live with being wrong.
  20. It appears the DB's can catch.
  21. I thought he looked like Lazlo in Real Genius. Note: I know who he is in relation to Surly and I would like to say that Lazlo is a realllly attractive guy and that this is a compliment to our benevolent overlord.
