  1. Guess they didn't like that the B12 didn't running through Lubbutt.
  2. Fucking LULZ. GOP are a bunch of fucking god damned hypocritical pussy idiots. Never mind when we did it... https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dick-durbin-judiciary-committee-biden-judges_n_6568fef4e4b066e398b6fb64 GOP Melts Down As Dick Durbin Uses Its Tactics For Advancing Biden Judges "It's called precedent," the Senate Judiciary Committee chair said of violating the same rule that Republicans ignored to move forward with judicial nominees. Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee had full-blown meltdowns on Thursday after Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) held votes on two of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees without allowing debate on them, saying he was simply following the “new precedent” established by Republicans when they did the same thing to Democrats, twice. Durbin appeared to completely blindside Republicans by moving straight to votes on two U.S. District Court nominees, Mustafa Kasubhai and Eumi Lee, without opening up the floor for discussions on them. Both nominees had two previous hearings and had been debated. But typically the panel would still allow for more discussion in what was their confirmation hearing. Not Thursday. Durbin went straight to their votes, saying senators already had two chances to debate their nominations. And GOP reactions went from confusion to anger to the kinds of high-octane tantrums familiar to anyone with children under the age of 5. “Are we going to have an opportunity to speak?” asked Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). “I would also like to speak on the nomination,” said Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.). “I understand what you’d like to do, but I’m saying, in fairness, we’ve debated these nominees twice,” Durbin said. “I ask the clerk to call the roll.” This is where the anger kicked in. “You’re denying us an opportunity to speak?” Cornyn asked. “Come on, man,” fumed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.). “I mean, OK. Do this. Just do it!” “We don’t have a right to speak under the rules?” asked Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.). “Under the third time, I’d say no,” Durbin said flatly. “So you’re just going to make it up?” Cotton demanded to know. “You’re telling us to shut up? You want us to SHUT UP?” Blackburn said, raising her voice. “Is that what you’re saying?” "Do this! Just do it!” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) fumed at Senate Judiciary Committee chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) for following a precedent set by Republicans on advancing judicial nominees. Soon Republicans were talking over each other and hurling insults and threats at Durbin. “There’s going to be a lot of consequences coming here,” warned Cotton. “I cautioned a lot of you. Listen to me! I cautioned a lot of you!” Cornyn suggested that Republicans might walk out of the hearing right then and deny a quorum, meaning the committee couldn’t conduct any votes. Cotton got so mad he started talking about himself in the third person. “Mr. Cotton says the chairman needs to rethink his decision,” said Cotton, as his name came up in the roll call. “That’s what Mr. Cotton says.” When Blackburn said again she wanted to talk, Cotton interjected, “Now I guess Sen. Durbin is not going to allow women to speak either. I thought that was sacrosanct in your party!” “Congratulations on destroying the United States Senate Judiciary Committee,” Cornyn dramatically told Durbin.
  3. Fucking LOL. Tarp should go ahead and give Elko a fake fucking trophy then. They can't fucking help themselves. Every coach is going to be the one, until he isn't. Desperation is a disease.
  4. Houses inside the city center has always been and is expensive for almost every major city not named Detroit. When I was younger, I wanted to live inside the loop in Houston. That shit was hella expensive. We I lived in Dallas, I wanted to live in the M streets and Lakewood areas. That shit was hella expensive. No one bitched about affordable housing back then. Affordable housing was in the burbs. I just moved to the burbs and dreamed of living in the city. That's exactly the same shit today. The closer you get to downtown and Westlake, the more expensive it's going to be.
  5. I'm going to ignore it. Not my issue because the asshole is incompetent.
  6. I did not find any tickets under my license plate. I did find the ticket for the person who's license plate was erroneously entered by the parking nazi. My argument is that they issued a ticket against my automobile. My automobile is not a person, has no free will, and therefore cannot commit violations.
  7. Question. I got a parking ticket but the citation has my license plate wrong. Do I have to pay? I tried looking up the ticket in the austingov site, but it couldn't find it.
  8. This game isn't going to be close. It won't be Tech easy but we'll beat OSU by double digits. This team is focused on the prize, which since the end of last year is to win the B12. Unless Quinn throws 3 picks or we fumbled/turnover the ball 3 times, we roll.
  9. I was thinking that no way they include the milkmen in the ceremony, and there they are. Never change aggy.
  10. I was hoping that OSU or Mike gave this team some bulletin board material. This team seems to play much better with a bigger chip on their shoulders. Mike may have done just that, at least for Sweat and Murphy.
  11. I wonder where Parker was "when the world stopped turning?"
  12. Has United's revised boarding process affected your decision to fly with them? I'm an aisle guy who mainly only cares about non-stops and departure/arrival times and am pretty agnostics about airlines, as long as it's not Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant. I fly about 8-10 times a year. I've basically stopped looking at United for flights since the decision.
  13. Socialize the losses, privatize the profits?
  14. fuck Smaxsney. He/they are just contrarians.
  15. TLDR: Fuck Big 12 refs. Apparently Fuck Pac12 refs if you are Oregon.
  16. I cannot see how any offensive recruit is wow'ed by this hire. But they'll continue to throw copious bags at Dline and in 3 years wonder why they are still 6-6.
  17. Coaches need to be aware that no matter what the results are in the next game, Surly motherfuckers will bitch.
  18. No SEC schools with coaching vacancies would consider hiring Elko.
  19. What halfway decent QB is going to want to play behind that line or wait around for the shit show head coach search to end?
  20. Remember when Sark wanted to hire Stoops as an assistant coach and the fans had a fucking revolt. These assholes hired him, as HC.
