  1. While it could be easiest, it can also be hardest, depending on your county election administrator. Because there are fewer people the more likely the EA or someone on their staff knows each voter, and thus can see through BS. Question is will they or turn a blind eye? Luckily mine is pretty straight arrow about her job.
  2. I'm so tired of the "Dem candidates are jokes" schtick. Garza or Merritt or Jaworski would all be better a better AG than Bush or Paxton. I hope whoever wins their runoff will get some serious push from educated people around the state.
  3. In "Z" (zelda fitzgerald) they used an oriental aide for domestic work. A way different Hopsing than the one I grew up with.
  4. He ain't taking their guns either, but they believe that shit.
  5. Basically Lend-Lease, right?
  6. Maybe that will get out some blue votes. Imagine how hard the prison for profit crowd is going to fight this.
  7. Here's an interesting site: https://www.governorabbott.com/ It's probably not what you think it's going to be.
  8. Only the finest: Roger Stone Called Trump ‘Greatest Single Mistake’ in U.S. History After Not Issuing Jan. 6 Pardons: Report Stone said a few weeks later that he would support a Trump 2024 presidential run https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/roger-stone-bashes-donald-trump-jan-6-pardons-1316522/
  9. It does raise a lot of questions. So if they hold those assets basically in escrow until the end of the conflict, seems like they would go after the owners as war criminals for financially backing Putin and the Kremlin? Then the assets can be officially seized as part of the punishment? In the meantime, who pays the maintenance on those yachts? I assume the countries who seize them?
  10. Don't mind 3 putt. He's been busy with his ladies. Wonder if his Russian interest is still in good standing. I know, I know, don't be sugar babying up CR. Sorry.
  11. I was thinking more Neville Chamberlain, but that more likely fits Trump's take on it initially.
  12. That's textbook megalomania.
  13. All these things that are being seized need to be pressed into service to provide income streams for humanitarian efforts. Simply sell the thing to some UAE moron for a fire sale price of 100M wouldn't do near as much good as turning them into long running income streams that pay back continually into the lower economic strata that paid for the shit to begin with. Outfit it for cruises and use the money to pay into benefits for Ukrainian war widows and orphans funds.
  14. #teamkira We've been told for years now how corrupt Ukraine is. But we keep seeing these politicians like Zelensky and Rudik. We keep getting updates and reports from intelligent reporters. Why are we not seeing the bad guys from Ukraine? Who are their politicians who are supposedly carrying the water for those higher up corrupters? Why aren't we seeing any of them exposed as supporters of the Russians? Or are we just especially blessed with having more than our fair share of politicians willing to sell democracy down the river for 40 bags of rubles? Are we that jaded, or too comfortable/complacent with our freedoms to realize how threatened our own democracy is? I fear the latter, and those who fell asleep at the switch when it came to voting would rather lose the country than admit mistakes and correct the course. Because pride, of course. I just hope watching Ukraine go through this wakes some folks up.
  15. I wonder if Abbott is beginning to think turning Operation Lone Star into an invasion of Mexico would take some heat off of Putin?
  16. Lindsey Graham is known for his concrete opinions. Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV. who was that central republican again? she's about to learn more social distancing because she's about to be a pariah. That table in the congressional table is getting smaller and further pushed into the corner.
  17. I can understand that fear, but I don't think the Russian army on the ground will stand for that long. It's not the same Red Menace that Stalin had. Even with using missiles and other weaponry of mass destruction, if enough enlisted/conscripted walk off, it will be much harder to complete said atrocities. He is not controlling the message now, and that is going to do him in at home and in his troops. How many times have we heard how corrupt Ukraine is? Burisma? Hunter Biden? They have nothing on Abbott and his band of grifters. But hey, Biden should care as much about Texas' borders as Ukraine's. Right...right.
  18. Ask Onboard.
  19. My wife was a Girl Scout leader and in the one year we were in, the Houston Area Office moved three times and each time demanded new letterhead, business cards, and redecorating each new place. A hugely inefficient system. And the one leader event I went to was more about giving out bullshit awards and badges to the attention whore leader moms than anything about the program for the girls. After years in the Boy Scouts, GSA was a complete farce. On the other hand, I think something decent came from all this: She seems fun. And loved the interview. I'll follow her.
  20. MacGregor gave us the talking points for the upcoming week there at the end. 1) We should stay out of the way. Ukraine will lose handily. For the US to encourage Ukraine to resist with their lives will be seen as a monumental humanitarian disaster, since we don't have the balls to fight our own battles, or join in here. 2) He's basically giving Russia carte blanche to use whatever tactics they deem necessary, and when they win, then it's egg on Biden's face. TL;DR: Ukraine won't win and Biden is sending sheep to the slaughter. They should just roll over and let Putin in.
  21. There are a lot of good people out there who still get to learn how many of our politicians are owned by Putin and his goons. I guess I keep repeating it, because there are guys like this who think people like Hawley and Cruz and many more aren't tied to nationalistic shit like Putin pushes. Folks who just haven't been paying attention the past 4 years and are coming to the table now. They've got a lot of catching up to do. I know this guy is more aware than most, but still, this seems pretty naive to me. I'm with henrygandorf on this. Let them keep exposing themselves every damn day. They never have had any conviction other than winning office and holding it. Fuck em. Let them expose themselves, and those idiots who prop them up, be they MAGA turds or Insurrectionists or whomever. This is a litmus test for humanity and democracy. Time to clean house.
  22. Interesting how before this started we kept hearing how he was going in to rescue all those poor starving Ukrainians under that savage yoke of Zelensky's tyranny. Odd though how very little of that we are seeing compared to the well prepared eager ukrainians ready to boot his ass out of their country. Have to wonder if Putin ever thought the Ukrainians might actually be preparing a defense. That puppy is at least 3 months old, and they were there in that position when his mother gave birth. Makes you really think how long these folks have been getting ready and how resourceful they have been. What he gets for relying on Fake News.
