  1. This right here is my main beef with Abbott, he actively pulled the ladder up behind him after getting his payday and that makes him a terrible person. All the other stuff about him being a clown willing to suck a golf ball thru a garden hose if it means getting more political clout or a chance at impressing the Orange God is secondary and really just politicians as usual stuff. Just tell me where the cheapest jackhammer rental place in Austin is and I'll get started at the governor's mansion. Steps only for Texans, no DEI ramps!
  2. because they did...
  3. Spring was where I used to tell people I was from when I didn't know them well enough to figure if they would judge me from being from "The Woodlands" or not lol. Technically not a lie since if you put Spring as the city for my parent's address the mail still gets to them...
  4. Brings up another question at least for myself tho...am I the unicorn that was raised in The Woodlands, had zero desire to go Aggy, now live way inside the loop in Houston and have zero desire to ever move back to The Woodlands?
  5. Not sure how you even manage that... Also motion to not claim anything that happens in The Woodlands in the WTF is wrong with Houston thread...
  6. “WONT SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY VOTE?!?!”
  7. No CR: Expansion of gambling aint happening till Dan Goeb is out as Lt Gov, if ever. Abbott can say whatever he wants to make it looks like he is trying to "get it done" to deflect angry Mavs Fans and convince angry casino owners that if they just give him a little bit more in lobby money and political donations that it will get across the finish line...but it aint happening.
  8. SIAP but add another to the pile, also all out of prayers to give
  9. What’s really sad is Cornyn is supposed to be our “elder statesman” senator, and yet still acting like a petulant child…
  10. Went to go find that tweet and see the reaction and happened to stumble on this gem, got a solid chuckle: Lotta long car trips/bus rides in Joe Biggs future I suppose. Wonder if he thinks it was worth it?
  11. Well if you happen to live in Desantisland you might have a summer tax holiday that would provide a unique opportunity to stock up to protect your pile: Gov. DeSantis proposes new tax holiday for guns, ammo Have actually read this is likely a ploy to prop up firearm and ammo sales due to them always slowing down under a Republican President, which is rather amusing... Guessing if this becomes a reality in Florida Hot Wheels will follow suit in Texas, and if he doesn't, I'll go to Austin to call him "woke" myself
  12. But if he's the DeFacto leader of the MAGA version of the Republican party...and they destroyed the old "establishment" doesn't that make MAGA the new "establishment"??
  13. So I hate to even use this imagery because of how horrific it is but feel it’s becoming more and more accurate as we go along especially with the events of last night: Why are we signing up to help Bidi enact a solution that deems fairly final to the Palestinian question in Gaza?
  14. FIFY
  15. Have heard a rather convincing argument that this was all about the Adelsons not wanting to sink super max salary money into a player in Dallas when there has been no movement and no path forward for them to build a casino in Dallas next to the Mavs eventual new arena. Adelsons are in the casino business, not the sports franchise ownership business and our (no CR) political heros in Austin ain't gonna let casino gambling happen anytime soon. Adelsons thought they could buy their way into legalized gambling in Texas but made a massive miscalculation due to all the big political players that could make casino gambling happen already being bought off by factions that do not want casino gambling. If that happened to be paired with a little birdie at the league office telling them if they wanted to unload Luka they will have cover if they give the Lakers the exclusive negotiating rights because it's what is best for the league, you very easily get to the point where what has occurred happens. The Adelsons then dismantle the Mavs and kill off any goodwill left lcoally towards getting an arena deal done and turn around to the NBA governors and say: "look at this, we can't get a new arena, woe is us we need to move" and off to Vegas they go...
  16. Color me shocked but I thought at least a few more people lived in Norway, that’s like only 15 ish percent more than the population of just Harris County…and they got a 1.2 trillion dollar wealth fund…
  17. My friends who either currently work or have worked in the lege in the past always have to remind the rest of us whenever we bring up the crazy town bills like this that get filed every two years that the way the lege is designed its far, far easier to find ways to kill a bill than it is to successfully pass one and get it to the Governor's desk to be signed into law. It still does get me aggravated that there are elected representatives out there that think some of these are good ideas and should be laws...
  18. Well at least there are a few other counties with Harris County in the fight on this one and it's not just Harris County alone vs State Republicans... Had a crazy idea that I kinda want to see happen just to watch our States Republicans squirm and waive their hands around to try and make go away: What if Elon in his quest to make X the "Everything App" gets our dear leader Donald onboard with the idea that he can make X secure enough thru some sort of blockchain tech to allow for voting by phone/over the internet? Would they throw a total shit fit in defiance of Dotard and Elmo?
  19. I mean sure it leveled off from that steep dive but...
  20. Well just over half of Congress is eating this shit up and likely to go along with it to "own the libs lol" again, I've definitely seen this movie:
  21. From a little personal experience drilling holes in hard drives is rather fun, can't imagine dipping them in bleach is nearly as satisfying.
