Evil Bill Obrien

Theres gotta be a big enough skeleton in that cunt Amy or the Adams Family closet in general that if Cal ever got a hold of it (and a pair of nuts) he would be able to use as leverage to get the Oilers name/history back for Houston. Heck I'd prob even be ok if Cal back channeled them some money for their dumb new stadium in exchange for getting the Oilers name back, but looks like they already fleeced the Nashville taxpayers out of enough that they wouldn't need that.

Absolutely bizarre how often I hear Republicans claim they are against Corporate Welfare and sweetheart tax breaks that never seem to create the number of jobs they claim they will, but then they go and trip all over themselves to vote for it in the Texas House...

Will admit I'm probably a bigger 2A/gun guy that the average Surly Cloak Room denizen but all of these seem like perfectly reasonable amendments to me. The fact that these all got shot down on pretty strict party line votes just further shows that the system and more specifically the Republican Party is totally broken/lost. Every once in a while when I have the TXLege house video feed on in the background some Rep goes on and on about how each of them are representing the will of aprox. 200,000 Texans and every time shit like this happens I just imagine these Reps must think they are all prince/princess of their own little fiefdoms doing whatever the big man above them wants, not what us peasants want.

Got a friend who has been keeping tabs on the Lege and usually will send a text in the group chat when outrageous shit is going down in the House/Senate. Every time he does it just raises my blood pressure to the moon and today is no different, these chuds in the House rejected an amendment that would add de-escelation techniques to the curriculum of this class...so maybe kids will try to solve their problems without blasting people away first.

InB4 Jeff Leach realizes maybe state representatives shouldn't be posting bare asses of people in the House gallery on Twitter...

Highly under appreciated bit of realism in that movie: Houston is totally the city the President would try nuking the Aliens in first just to see if it kills them...

I guess I should be happy about anything that gets Texas State some extra crumbs of the crumbs as far as Texas higher education is concerned...but it really feels like Dan Patrick is whatever restroom he feels is appropriate pissing on us and calling it rain... Really hope the slightly more sane Texas House doesn't pass this tenure revoking bullshit

Sean Payton seems to be adjusting to that Colorado life well, taking a mad rip during the draft.

Dade is totally calling Dan a shoobie for wearing that rash guard

Pilots gotta get them training hours in bruh, may as well do something cool while they are at it

Goodell finally found a way to not get immediately booed at the draft: dead kids family’s as a meat/boo shield

The Cowboys "Americas Team" jean short and Dak jersey crowd crowing about 5 rings while said rings fade further and further into the pages of history helps take some of the sting of the misery of those other fanbases. Just like the "27 Rings birtch" Yankees fan crowd (heck they are at least 60% one and the same crowd) and said rings are rapidly falling into the rear view mirror. They both give me a pretty good chuckle these days. While I'm mostly convinced the Texans won't be sniffing a Super Bowl in my lifetime, I'm 100% convinced Jerrah won't be getting another while he is still naturally on this earth....Now head in a jar/cyborg/A.I. Jerrah...he might get one...

Some of y'all be flying this flag way too high...

Keith probably just as big a douche as Tucker but this was rather amusing to see

Not saying it’s going to happen soon, but never is a very long time.

I'm sure the Surly 1% already know this but it must be really nice to be wealthy enough to just lawyer your way out of things...like what looked like a pretty solid manslaughter charge...

Its going to be really amusing to watch these rats go back to wailing about "local control" or "hands off of my city/local/county government" and scramble to roll back this state level power grab the second it looks like maybe the Legislature will flip to Democrat majorities...

Not a drug guy, but I'm really interested what kind of drugs this Stuart guy is on... But lets be real, if it was actually a reasonable/realistic threat that Disney could fold up shop and move out of Florida, tell me that Abbott and 10-15 other GOP Governors and all kinds of local officials wouldn't be tripping all over their own dicks (rolling in Abbotts case) to get Disney to move to their state and give Disney whatever sweetheart deal they would want a-la Reedy Creek District/Tax Breaks/Mega Corporate Welfare/etc? Disney knows all they gotta do is wait out Meatball Ron and he will be gone, and Mickey will be laughing all the way to the bank.

These are all really good ideas but nothing is going to change until there is a shift at the top and sadly don't think Hot Wheels, or the man who is really stopping most of these things from happening Lt Dan are going anywhere anytime soon. Wheels might try to run for El Prez again but don't see his peen measuring contest with the Florida Meatball or Trump going very well and highly doubtful he wins so will keep rolling around Texas. Lt Dan is more interesting in that I think he wants Wheels job but won't actually challenge him straight up for it because he is a cuck. Until the Lt Dan shaped roadblock is removed in the Texas Senate don't see any sort of positive movement on these state wide issues such as gambling, marijuana, medicaid, any sniff of common sense firearms restrictions, school funding formula, etc. Eventually there will be enough of the olds and rural folk (sorry to resident blue hairs and country bumpkins) being removed from the voter rolls (6 feet under) that the state-wide races will flip and give more state-wide control back to the cities and population centers despite voter suppression efforts in said areas, but flipping individual representatives/senators and local officials will take longer. Just hope by the time these things start to occur and give more encouragement for some more rational voters to show up regularly and vote that it isn't too late. TL;DR: Fuck Abbott and Lt Dan

Good game, another entertaining midweek series.
