Woo-hoo!  Westlake Chaps--forever state champs!

What's the plan with this?  When cases increase in Houston and elsewhere after this, it's going to be pretty easy to put the blame on the GOP as an institution.  And for what?  What benefit do they gain from an in-person convention?

You know the answer to this - to "OWN THA LIBS"!  It's the answer to the vast majority of the stupid shit they do.

Over 100 fatalities.  Almost 10k cases on almost 18% positivity.  I guess the good news is the hospitalization rate of increase declined but still up.

And we still have assholes who won't wear a mask in public places.

Welp, tomorrow I know one of those people that will be in the up from yesterday counts for positive.  Just found out my dad tested positive.  He was going to work and to the grocery store and that's it so be careful out there Midland.

Texas GOP says not so fast, my friend. The question is whether Turner has his lawyers sandbag a bit and let them get the injunction.  If these GOP dumbasses might actually learn something when 1/2 of them come down with COVID-19, it might be worth it.  But who am I kidding - they'll throw out a conspiracy theory that Turner released coronavirus in the A/C system, and the Trumpkins will just lap that shit up ...

 

Anyone want to bet this gets settled before dotard’s appeals on his tax returns?

I mean, I would if I were them.  That said, I have a one night stay in Santa Fe on the way up to Colorado.  Not sure how they really enforce that.

Make it temporarily illegal to accept a Texas DL for any accomodations, rentals, or anything really. Wonder how that could go down

Yup. I'm betting on no college football. Ivy league already cancelled and some conferences are saying no non - conference games, which will become no games.  NFL will be played without fans. 

College football is going to happen. There's just way too much money in it. They'll set a schedule with no OOC games so the conference can better regulate testing and reduce travel and it'll happen.

The courts should hear this case in 2025.  

It's more about each conference controlling the dynamics. They may just have a centralized location for the conference games or something. They'll figure out a way to not lose out on a billion dollars. 

Listening to the San Antonio press conference. Deaths are increasing and it's not just the olds.

The problem is that TX doesn’t have a choice. A balanced budget is in the state constitution by amendment, if I recall correctly. So because the state cannot run a deficit, there will be major major cuts to deal with the fallout from coronavirus

Sorry to hear that. Hope he handles it well. Midland is a cluster fuck of conservative bullshittery. Nobody wears masks unless forced to and the mayor is trying to work himself into a Fox News gig by throwing fits about mask orders and preaching about how much he trusts the locals to “do the responsible thing” when they’ve been completely irresponsible all along.

I grew up in Big Spring and monitor a FB page for local political issues, and the new mayor there models the worst type of blowhard Trumpian behavior. A week or so ago, he was behaving like such a jackass that half of the City Council walked out of the meeting leaving them without a quorum.

Part of the problem, though, is that his best buddy is the owner?/moderator for this group of over 9,000 in a town of 25,000. Because of the heavy moderation against any dissent, the two have created a tremendous voting block who are fucking up any progress the town had been starting to finally achieve over the last ten years.

The content of the (acceptable) posts is about the worst you can imagine, including the wildest conspiracy theories about mask wearing and Covid as a hoax. It's just so damned disheartening to see that town go from having a high school astronomy teacher (former neighbor when I was a kid) with its own planetarium in the high school to where now the football coaches use it to view film.

The chemistry, biology, and physics teachers were absolutely stellar back in the 1980s, which allowed me to consider them as blow-off courses for easy credit in college. Today, judging by the most vocal deniers, I'm surprised they aren't all ripping air filters from their cars and home AC units out of fear of asphyxiating them.

That sucks man. It's crazy my small town dwelling brother who struggles to work from home because of internet speed, is also against any federal funding to get decent internet to the sticks. And he bitches about his taxes when small towns take the most and need the most. Those kids are being left behind, can't even internet their way out, and are left being indoctrinated as trumpers bitching about jerbs..

They should all go hang out in the smoke pit and hope to become musicians

The crazy thing is that at every step of the way, they're shooting themselves in their own feet and don't realize that's what keeps them from moving forward. These are self-inflicted wounds leading to a debilitating condition of paranoia, dependence, and assigning blame.

The Internet *speed* there isn't really a problem though with the town being on the Interstate with decent fiber. The Internet *access* to dumbshittery and fuckheaded ideas that reinforce the worst impulses of small town thinking, however, is a huge part of it.

Edit: I'm increasingly in the camp that believes some sort of Internet bullshit detector class that stresses critical thinking should be incorporated into the core curriculum as a prerequisite for high school graduation.

After 11 weeks of working from home I've spent the past month back in the office. But shit's borked, yo, so I'm moving my office back to my house again.

Thanks Greg Abbott. Get your shit together.

An explanation would be nice.

Covid19 hospitalizations here in Colorado.  We’re about to begin our own exponential growth.  

These numbers don’t reflect it yet, but we are going to get a huge bloom from July 4th.  After clamping down and killing spring break before it started, Colorado stayed open to all tourism with no limitations for out of state visitors over the 4th.  On Thursday and Friday, our mountain town of 1000 residents that is not on the main I-70 corridor looked like Mopac at 5:30pm on a weekday.  A good 40% were rental cars or from out of state.

well. shit. we're planning an escape to CoSprings in August 😕🤞

Did he define what constitutes improvement?  Because I bet he didn’t just like how there were no tangible metrics on how to move from Phase 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 or whatever other than just waiting a week or two.  Are amusement parks and carnivals still open; serious question because I lost track of his stupidity when that announcement came out.

Fuck him.

Why are you leaching off my hard earned tax dollars?

I've got to share this. I spoke to a woman who works at an assisted living center today. She was in tears. They have so many COVID-19 cases, workers are calling in sick and they are receiving instructions on how to preserve bodies because of delays in the morgue from getting them
 
^ See, that's the kind of thing where three weeks later you can't release a football schedule. Or have teachers setting up hand wash stations in classrooms. And if there's one story like that, there will be more in the next couple weeks. I've been a supporter of the return-to-football plan, but it's getting tougher to envision
