  1. Interesting to see who San Fran picks in her place. Thank God at least one of these 80 year olds is able to hang it up.
  2. Yeah. I don't see any legal basis for killing somebody for knocking on your door. I cannot imagine that would generate much interest in law school. If that is ambigous then society as we know it is dead. Surely a crime needs to be in the act of being committed before you can "stand your ground"? You can't just have feelings and therefore kill somebody.
  3. Is knocking on a door really unlawful entry? I was not aware there were laws against knocking on doors. So if you knock on a door you are exposing yourself to being legally killed? I am somewhat doubtful that is true even in Texas.
  4. "Indoctrination" is just code for I am tired of losing open debates.
  5. This interview makes me ragey. George Stephanopolous referring to the billionaires who are all going to flee to Florida as "job creators." Yeah ok we created tons of these billionaires and I have yet to see all these great jobs they were supposed to create. Gig work jobs and some job you are going to be laid off from every quarter. And a ton of ghost jobs.
  6. Both the ladies who won in Virginia and New Jersey seemed very unimpressive to me. But granted I am basing that opinion on their victory speeches, they would have been fine speeches 20 years ago but seemed out of touch with the current moment. But maybe they are actually good leaders. I don't know.
  7. Once we start making things affordable and trying to solve pressing social problems instead of just hoping rich people will magically solve them, everybody will be muslim! Seems a pretty damning indictment of Christianity.
  8. People got to eat.
  9. Energy costs are way down? LOL? Maybe he means oil prices. Of course low oil prices is bad news for the Permian Basin.
  10. It was barely temporary. To me the lesson is the election is not the end of the struggle, it is just the beginning. Things have to go well in New York now.
  11. Yeah well Thomas Jefferson also dated a black woman.
  12. Exactly. Now maybe those numbers are just reflective of those specific states that voted: Virginia, New York, and New Jersey. But if they comparing national voters vs this most recent election it doesn't necessarily mean the tide has turned. Things will be more clear next year. The battle has only begun. Hope so. I am still getting PTSD from 2008 and 2020 when we thought something great had happened.
  13. Yeah well...we'll see. Let's see those kind of results in Texas or Florida among Hispanic/Latinos then we will talk.
  14. The election went better than expected but the triumphalism makes me nervous. This is a bit like beating Sam Houston State on week 1 and declaring the national championship inevitable. My dudes the right still controls all three branches of government and we are potentially decades away from undoing all that they have done even in ideal circumstances. This is no time for complacency.
  15. Glad to see Lina Khan's name there.
  16. They are so sure this is a massive bubble they want to secure their bailout beforehand. Smart. I hate them all so much.
  17. Ah good. That was ridiculous even for him.
  18. He refuses to pay even with it is with our money. Amazing.
  19. Yeah if hate could make the Longhorns win we would be getting ready for our 40th national championship.
  20. Yeah well, what else is new?
  21. Sounds to me like it is annoyance at the extent of unwanted attention.
  22. I personally think they should either shit or get off the pot. Having millions of non-represented people as part of our Union is frankly embarrasing. Same with the other inhabited territories (or commonwealth or whatever the fuck their technical legal status is). Being a territory was never supposed to be a permanent status. Except for DC but...that was a special case. So either go be your own country or join ours. But pretty far down the list of priorities. Yes. I am aware. They have technically voted to join the Union a few times, with the caveats that you just stated. However, unless Congress votes to admit them it doesn't matter and I don't see Congress doing that any time soon, even if PR was 100% for becoming a state.
  23. Well it is a double edged sword. If it starves the school districts of funds we will have to increase property taxes to make up for it. So in the long run it might not help us at all. But we will see.
  24. We have been warning the Republicans about this. The more they gerrymander the more everybody will. Granted some Blue States, like Illinois, always seemed to be about that life.
