BLKNSTY

I’m not saying this to be facetious, but have you tasted liberal tears? I haven’t, but I’m willing to bet a lot of people on the right would pay 25% on their salary just for a steady supply of it. Lying for Liberal Tears is fucking nothing for these guys. Cognitive dissonance x1000.

and if you don’t believe me, my golf game has suffered terribly for it.

I didn’t explain this well. Voter Turnout in 2020 will be recordsetting, even with that and the Popular Vote, foreign interference + gerrymandering in swing state legislatures will just be too much to overcome. Let’s not even talk about how he’s effectively turned Joe Biden into a just as crooked Hillary. They way he pivots and brands it in a way his base can eat up and spit out their talking points? Insert Italian Chef’s Kiss - mama mia, itsa beautiful!

sorry, I meant Facebook. I haven’t had a real conversation with any of them since early 2017.

I’m willing to say 5MM out of Dotards 60MM votes could fall into this magical non-Trumpkin Trump Voter category, even though I don’t know a single fucking one in real life. voter turnout is what 60%? For every 1 vote that leaves Trump, I’m willing to bet 1.1 to 1.2 come from those who previously didn’t vote. Even more from the swing states. I can tell you who’s excited to vote in FL, NC, OH, MN, MI, PA, IN, etc and it ain’t the inner city residents.

it ain’t just Brisket and Straw. It’s quite a few of us. And it all boils down to this, I’m a Houston raised UT Grad. I hang around mostly, you guessed it, Houston raised UT Grads. 50% of those fucks voted Trump and every single one who voted Trump are jacked to the tits when it comes to voting Trump2020. I’m actually willing to bet he gets 58-60% of the white woman vote. You and Atom can keep fighting the good fight, but uh, the House will Impeach, Senate will not convict, and Trump wins 2020 with 40-45% of the popular vote. people can shit on the Dems all they want on being giant gashes, but damn the US Gov. was in no shape or form built to withstand an unyielding, shameless, brazenly corrupt, white supremacist, textbook narcissistic reality tv star/hotelier who managed to convince 40% of the population via social media with explicit help from Fox News and foreign entities who exploit a divided America. The second you see Wulaw, Escriva, PHD, Pepper, Tahoe, Sack, Swam, FC back in here willing to eat shit - then maybe. But I wouldn’t if I was them. They’re right, this is MAGA Country now.

So, how does Ken Paxton (R) fit into your arbitrary SJL (D) Corruption Scale?

because it's effective. dude's playing politics just like Buzbee. it's a non-fucking-story and he's playing it how he sees fit. if you want to throw every politician who's ever said "I misspoke/misremembered" in jail, let's start with the ones who do it under oath. I'll be right there with you.

and you're part of the all dems are gun-taking socialists club. glad we cleared that up. also - the TX Attorney General's office. dude worked for Ken Paxton (R). so, yeah. let's throw your bullshit narrative out the window.

I looked up the "Intern" on LinkedIn. Graduated TX State with a Bachelors (2010) and Masters (2013).TSU Law School (2018). He's been working for the City of Houston for ~4 years after clerking for Sheila Jackson Lee, the TX Attorney General's Office, and being a Paralegal. Based on the word "Intern" I thought this was a 19 year old side piece - not a fucking 31 year old lawyer who's got a good amount of government experience by working his way up. $95,000/yr for this guy is a fucking steal. KPRC and Buzbee are trash. Straight out of the Dotard's playbook tho, so it'll probably be effective.

Yup. This loss, IMO, is 85% Deshaun 5% BOB 5% Hopkins 5% refs. Deshaun has got to throw that fucking ball away on 2 and 10 and not take a sack to make it 3 and 18. Carolina did not give a single fuck about the checkdown route and neither did Deshaun.

lol I personally enjoy the reoccurring Trump Doral Burger gag. For a site that has the greatest repository on smoking brisket and ribs, y’all get soo mad at a well char-grilled piece of meat. keep them coming Bozo! it’s the little things, ya know?

Refined fuels is the play IMO. Marathon Refining (MPC) is up ~14% (~$8/share) since the 14th.

aww shucks. I had like 10 more questions.

Question No. 1 - does he also pay $10k to watch rats fuck?

I'd like to hear more about your black friend Johnny Sack.

exhibit a: things racists say...

Elizabeth Warren is the single greatest candidate the modern-left has ever ever put up for President and based on her policy positions, the most liberal if elected. If nominated, and I think she will win the nomination, I no doubt believe her get out the vote push will be record breaking as well. he’s going to win tho. because nothing fucking matters.

not impeached and re-elected.

Active Duty Army Arrested for targeting CNN? and Beto (CNN)A US Army soldier discussed bomb-making techniques and bombing a major American news network's headquarters, as well as named presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke as a possible target before being arrested this weekend, according to court documents released on Monday. Jarrett William Smith, 24, was charged with distribution of information related to weapons of mass destruction after offering to teach others bomb-making and discussing bombing the news network's headquarters, according to documents in Kansas federal court. He was stationed at Fort Riley in Kansas before his arrest on Saturday. The arrest of Smith comes amid a wave of arrests and charges the Justice Department has made disrupting possible domestic terror plots. Smith allegedly discussed with a confidential source to the FBI that "the headquarters of a major American news network would be a suggested target, utilizing a vehicle bomb," an FBI agent wrote in court papers. The news network is not named in the court documents. Smith made an initial appearance in Kansas federal court Monday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear again in federal court for a detention hearing on Thursday in Topeka. Smith's attorney did not immediately return a request for comment. According to court documents, Smith also mentioned O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman, in a chat with an undercover FBI agent on September 20. The undercover agent had told Smith he was looking to target a politician, and Smith responded with instructions on making a bomb or grenade. "You got anyone down in Texas that would be a good fit for fire, destruction and death?" the undercover agent said to him. "Outside of Beto? I don't know enough people that would be relevant enough to cause a change if they died," Smith replied. The FBI had begun tracking Smith in March, who had been stationed in Texas since 2017. He was transferred to Fort Riley in July. O'Rourke campaign spokeswoman Aleigha Cavalier thanked the FBI for their work in the case. "We take any threat like this very seriously, and our team is in direct contact with the FBI regarding this case," she said. "This isn't about any one person or one campaign, and we won't let this scare us or cause us to back down in fighting for what's right." Smith had discussed as early as 2016 joining a far-right paramilitary group in Ukraine before he became a US Army soldier in 2017. He then bragged in a Facebook chat about being able to build explosives "in the style of the Afghans," the court filings said. Then, about a month ago, Smith started speaking to the FBI's confidential source and an undercover federal agent. He discussed in an online chat group plotting an attack in the US, said he was looking for other "radicals," and suggested targeting the leftist group Antifa, cell towers and a local news station, authorities allege. Separately, Smith suggested a vehicle bomb could be used to target "the headquarters of a major American news network," and gave advice on building explosives. Army Lt. Col. Terence Kelley, the director of public affairs for the 1st Infantry Division in Kansas, confirmed Smith is an active duty soldier. He said the Army cooperated with the FBI in its investigation. "These allegations violate our Army Values so we take them very seriously," Kelley said in the statement. "Our law enforcement team cooperated with the FBI on his arrest over the weekend." CNN's Jamie Crawford contributed to this report.

all the usual low-lying spots on the S/SE side of Houston are flooded. OST @ Spur 5, 45SB @ Woodridge. Post Oak and 610. Med Center/Kirby are up next.

HILARIOUSLY unrealistic. FOUR DISTILLATION TOWERS ARE DOWN. I'm not 100% sure on this, but without doing a lick of research I'm 99% sure that those are THE FOUR BIGGEST DISTILLATION TOWERS IN THE WORLD. the irony is though, they can honestly say with a straight face that their crude output will be back to normal relatively quickly - because that's a fucking factually correct statement. Incredibly misleading, but true and apparently effective. If anyone wants to get a lesson in framing, start right here. I've gotta hand it to the Arabs. With the Sulfur IMO Regs kicking in in 2020, betting on a refined fuels is the way to goooo. IMO.

Not a refinery, as has been said a ton. ... and? If they're doing any kind of stabilization you'll still inevitably have a good bit of methane, ethane, propane, butane that was destined for some LPG facility that is now offline. you'll still have a good bit amount of resid that would need be further processed before being sent out. maybe a little less impact on traditional gasoline and diesel than I originally thought (still want to think through how off-spec "stabilized" crude will impact the liquid fuels markets), but I still don't see how light/heavy ends don't end up in short, short supply... long LPG!
