  1. I actually contemplated this. I think his text posts are clearly his, maybe sometimes paraphrased from something someone else wrote. His "retruths" or repostings are probably his. He can do that. I have doubts whether he could actually post a video or even a video still. That would require downloading it then uploading it, or copying a link. Also, kind of stupid that they'd claim the video is some Lion King video, because that's not what he posted. He posted a still with black Democrats as monkeys.
  2. Better late than never, I guess. But what the fuck took you so long?
  3. Probably worth noting, though, that it was just two of them. in Minneapolis or another more liberal city in a liberal state, there would have been a half dozen in the house and a half-dozen more outside. What's kind of fascinating to me is that they enter a house, a task that they are not legally entitled to, and also a potentially very dangerous one. And they leave without their ostensible target? Or the guy that "interfered" with them that they tackled?
  4. What promises has Abbott made?
  5. It may be true that she led a sheltered life. And that she saw it as ok because of that, or, for other reasons. Whether she saw it as ok or not, her job is to whitewash that maniac's bullshit and all the other bullshit from the maniacs in the administration. And she damn well knows it.
  6. Well, like Republicans for generations now, some of them are still pretending that policies aren't actually racist but something else. Every time that curtain gets pulled back a little further, they fear it will become undeniable. Of course, for a lot of people that's a feature not a bug. But once the racist policies are finally revealed as undeniably racist, guess what's next? The revelation that the pro-business policies are actually intended to keep the little guy down.
  7. One that slithered through the D-Con in the garage.
  8. "a mistake"
  9. Just to be factual, as I had swallowed this, too. Donald Barr was headmaster at Dalton just before Epstein started working there. He was known for unconventional hires. But there's no actual evidence that he was involved in the Epstein hiring decision. Barr actually retired at the end of the 73-74 academic year, Epsten started during the 74-75 academic year.
  10. And the team photo includes a lot of people in prison, on death row, hanging from Esso station canopies and telephone poles and with their brains blown out in a bunker in Berlin.
  11. I think they know that politicization of UT would wreck its reputation. And that the faculty would openly revolt and leave, making it a big spectacle and hastening the ruination. Which is not to say that Aggy faculty are all true believers, either, but they've already made certain compromises and are less likely to revolt. Aggy is just low-hanging fruit.
  12. 901 Main? He has had a most curious ascent to that office.
  13. Yes and no. South Texas is full of Jews, relatively speaking, but they're a curious, assimilated Texas Jew. Texas Jewboys if you will. I suspect a fair number of the butchers that popularized smoked brisket were Jewish. New York or Yankee Jew influences are harder to find, though. One of the most amusing things is there's a pretty authentic Jewish deli in Dallas with several locations that's especially popular for breakfast, Cindi's. It is owned and operated, and staffed, by Vietnamese, who bought it from the Jewish owner decades ago.
  14. Historically, it's a Jewish deli food. So, depending on your exposure to deli food, you may or may not be familiar with it. It's had kind of a resurgence along with barbecue because it's basically a smoked corned beef, that is, a brined brisket put on the smoker. And I think you can smoke a pastrami more easily/with less skill than Texas bbq brisket and have it come out well. So it's kind of an outgrowth of the smoked meat popularity surge. I'm not at all surprised it's big in Cali, where they might not be that good at pure Texas bbq, but they can do some bbq-adjacent things pretty well.
  15. Dammit, forgot to tune into this. Did skeletor do anything amusing?
  16. Additionally, I think people treat Bitcoin like a traditional equity or debt investment, when the reality is that it is more like currency trading, which is typically known as a high-risk, high-volatility investment for the sophisticated investor.
  17. Generally speaking, I agree. However, the OG cheese fries at Snuffers are pretty fucking good.
  18. Counterpoint, Nancy Pelosi. Politically, she was masterful. Policy-wise way too much of the status quo. Maybe the "young women of Congress."
  19. But we're respected again! Hottest country in the world!
  20. Kind of based on your recommendations, or mentions, I dug back into Hornfischer's catalog because I enjoyed Tin Can Sailors immensely. My first choice was Ship of Ghosts, about the USS Houston. I found it very interesting but didn't get very far because I know enough about The Battle of Java Sea to know that Houston was sunk, along with the rest of the ABDA flotilla. I think, but don't know that the majority of the book is going to be depredations of the survivors at the hands of the Japanese. I have some stuff going on such that grim reading is just not what I need right now, so I put it down in favor of some fairly mindless fiction.
  21. Also, her bio: https://carahevents.carahsoft.com/2025LEIS/Speaker/?sid=6550 She's an "agent" dating back to 2003. But in intelligence. While one of FBI's major roles today is domestic intelligence, it's my understanding that Intel people tend to be major second-class citizens compared to the criminal hooverites. Not sure that means much in the Trump era.
  22. That email looks shiesty. Kellie Hardiman is, apparently, employed by the FBI, but as of last May her title was: Deputy Assistant Director Criminal Intelligence Branch Criminal Investigation Division FBI https://elpasomatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FBI-TdA-assessment.pdf But, maybe it's real. NBC NewsFBI invites state election officials to an 'unusual' brie...The invitation comes amid growing tensions between state and federal officials over elections as President Donald Trump calls to "nationalize the voting."
  23. Ok fair enough. Most of CR's suspicion of Trump voters, and I think it's accurate in a lot of cases, is they don't care about the policies either, they just want the "show." And, of course, the show is just a distraction from the depredations of the wealthy and powerful. I'm also suspicious that jkates likes and wants the show too, despite protestations to the contrary.
  24. But he doesn't walk the talk most of the time. He's not going to make it any harder to get an abortion because that would be unpopular. He already basically unleashed the states to do that. He doesn't really care about immigration, but he's gonna put on a big show that happens also to be an OBEY power play, especially in cities and states that tend to oppose him. Wouldnt surprise me a bit if his deportation numbers are lower than Obama's, who managed to do it without putting the Gestapo in Bastropo. He doesn't give a fuck about election integrity. He's for all the voter fraud and suppression as long as he wins. One might hope that somewhere in all the rubble, he manages to throw your interest something of a bone, by accident. But that strikes me as a very dangerous game to play. Look at him and guns right now. He's so volatile and devoid of any convictions or personal moorings that you just never know.
