  1. Last season of Endeavor has begun.
  2. So I'm guessing he didn't get a screenshot.
  3. Quietly impressive is how so many of these guys are on academic honor rolls, repeatedly. I would guess that would make them more coachable and quicker to adapt in game.
  4. Props to torre for posting this in the draft thread. Figured it fit here as well.
  5. Now to complete the circle, Joe needs to pardon Hunter, and let the world know he didn't even charge him anything.
  6. Or on the recruiting trail? Some 5 star is going to choose Texas over aggy and one of his reasons will be because Sark has some style.
  7. Looks like a mash up of Archie Bunker and the Bucees's beaver.
  8. Jimbo's the idiot savant of football. He doesn't have time to waste on fashion since he's constantly dreaming up ways to make aTm football the leader of the pack (or cooking up lame ass reasons they aren't).
  9. Zaxby's makes a pretty decent Cobb salad for a fast food place.
  10. I'm late catching up on the thread, but didn't they take Trump's passports earlier? Seems like they scooped them up when they raided MAL, and he groused about it. I know they didn't return his diplomatic one, but did they give his general passport back?
  11. Trump will post bail undoubtably. Can he make some sort of bail deal that allows him travel outside the US while on bail? Use his foreign properties as justification? I can see him asking for this, but then whining about not getting it, or having to pay an exorbitant amount to make it happen.
  12. Might be a Neil Young type of protest.
  13. I googled him too, and my life is a little poorer now for the knowledge. Good thing is that at my age, I'll probably forget it soon enough. I wish Dolly would stand up and speak her convictions. You know they have to be fairly progressive when you consider her friends like Fonda and Tomlin. I guess she's too worried Dollywood would go dark from all the MAGA types boycotting her.
  14. So basically he's saying the red team deserves a mulligan, to preserve the image of the US? Gotta think he figures if they can the DOJ to look the other way on Trump for this, then everything else will be moot. He's not worried about protecting Trump, he's worried people will finally start realizing how much Trump did, and how little they did to stop him, probably even enabling some of it.
  15. Approximately 7 Trillion. Maybe Christie is excusing him all the COVID measures. "When Trump entered office in January 2017, the national debt was nearly $19.9 trillion, according to U.S. Treasury data. The debt did lower slightly during the first few months of Trump's presidency, between the first and second quarters of 2017, but then continued to rise for the next three years, hitting just over $26.9 trillion by the end of the fiscal year in 2020." https://www.newsweek.com/trump-national-us-debt-1774764
  16. I could see 1/3 of teen girls contemplating suicide, but more over the idea of inheriting this shit pile country from their parents and grandparents, not so much who they share a locker room with.
  17. It goes so much deeper than just the Duggar family, too.
  18. I've made it through 3/4 of the episodes. I thought it was going to be cute little expose' on the Duggar family (which I had scant knowledge of before all this). But it is SOOO much more. It goes back to 1961 and the founding of the Institute of Basic Life Principals by Bill Gothard. This makes that Mormon sect of bigamist/groomers seem like pikers. It's really hard to tell the interconnection of all the groups like IBLP, The Family, Wilks and Dunn, FLDS and others, but they all have one thing in common, and that is white supremacy, male white supremacy, to be exact. The scary part of it is that these people have been indoctrinated for several generations. It's going to be hard to turn this around any time soon. Thing is they have been doing so much of this under the radar, under the guise of religion. "What bad things could they be doing? All they do is preach and pray?' More like preach and prey. When Abbott went on his voucher tour, there was no public notice. It was all done via texts, emails and word of mouth within selected groups. This is how they work, in the fucking shadows, and hide behind the bible when they get caught. Everything that Abbott is pushing from vouchers to 10 commandments has roots in this movement. Now whether he believes it or not, or is simply pandering to them for their votes, he's doing it. And while IBLP has some facilities here, they are all over the US and abroad too. They represent a large voting bloc, but not sure they would make up a silent majority. Here's the trailer for The Family again:
  19. It's like they don't understand the definition of maverick.
  20. For those of you up on the Texas Constitution, with Slaton being ousted, Abbott has the privilege to set a special election for his seat. People in his district were thinking he'd probably call it for mid-June. But he's set it for Nov 7 instead. So basically, those folks get no representation through all the upcoming special sessions? Is this constitutionally legal? Seems it would be Abbott's duty to fill the seat ASAP. I have a feeling he's put it off that long to let the anger in that district over Slaton cool. Might feel that if the election were now, potentially could lose that seat to a Dem. I know that seems ludicrous, but it's an open race, no primaries. So they have about 6 Republicans who have declared. That's splitting that vote quite a bit, against one Dem.
  21. I've seen where several counties have been jacking up evaluations so when the tax cut does come, it will put the counties back to where they were right before the cut. So no real savings, just sleight of hand.
