Also…what would airing that laundry gain (other than making Mackowiak lose)? Understand that the messages would indicate that he’s not Trumpy ENOUGH…meaning that the Trumpier candidate would win.
At this point, in Repub elections, it’s like being a Jew choosing between the candidate who is all-in on the final solution, and the other candidate who has slight concerns about the cost of Xyklon-B, and would like to find a cheaper means of extermination. You get to have a tiny bit of influence over how and when your doom arrives, but that’s it.

 

Come on man. This is bullshit rationalization. You are better than this. 

 

Hypocrisy and lies should always be exposed. 

 

Your holocaust metaphor is also bullshit. Its not like Jews choosing between two different Nazis. Its like normal Germans not speaking up when the Nazis came to power. 

 

 

(Yes, I realize this is a three month old post and the election is already passed. You should still publish the texts. )

If the Texas Democrat 'party' had any semblance of sense, they would make commercials to air in rural and suburban areas of the state, blaring about how under republican leadership, Greg Abbott, Dan Patrick and crooked Ken Paxton, state leadership has stolen billions of dollars from your schools and given them to cronies and 'big city' private, charter and magnet schools, while your children go to the same broken down underfunded public schools.

A competent party would be hammering rural Texas with "Under 30 years of Republican leadership, your electric grid has gotten worse and Abbott and company are allowing Chinese bitcoin miners to make it even worse. Your schools have gotten worse and Abbott and company want to kill them once and for all by diverting state money to private schools in Dallas and Houston. Rural healthcare is hanging on by a thread and Abbott and company refuse to expand Medicare."

Women in hip-hop DO push back against the male gaze. I heard that they regularly push it, push it, push it REAL good.

The intersection of 1488 and 2978 is not in Magnolia; it's in Egypt.  I'm sure Magnolia has plenty of cultists, but at least get the location correct. I've shopped at that Kroger before.

Texas teachers outspend their counterparts from all 50 states on yearly school supply purchases for their classrooms, according to survey released Monday as educators prepare for the 2024-25 school year.
The survey, which sampled 50 teachers from each state for 2,500 teachers nationwide, found that educators in Texas spend on average $1,396 per year on school supplies for their classrooms, compared to the nationwide average of $915. 
According to the survey, 93% of teachers dip into their own money for school supplies, including pens, paper, ink, classroom decorations, educational aids, cleaning supplies and even snacks. 
While teachers are not required by law to purchase their own supplies, many do so anyway out of fear that their classroom learning environment would suffer if they didn’t -- a statement that 77% of survey respondents agreed with.
While this is a survey and not backed up with receipts, I'm not surprised that our teachers are shelling out this much because Texas and the ISDs fail to adequately supply the teachers and students. But then they blame those same teachers when the students don't score high enough on an exam. 

I spend around $500 a year for subscriptions to online resources alone. Websites like Blooket and Gimkit that let me turn my questions into online computer games. Hate it if you want, but these kids have never not had a screen in their hands, and this is a way to increase engagement. Anyway, that's $500 plus everything else I buy that goes into making a classroom run. So yeah, $1300 out-of-pocket doesn't sound too far-fetched. At least I get a $250 tax deduction. And the $100 department allotment.

We should pump tax dollars into whatever educational systems can demonstrate performance on outcomes and objective measures of educational attainment. And I say that as one with three kids in the public school system. 
Educators: "Finland has a fantastic education system and typically outperforms American students."
Texas: "Really? What do they do differently?"
Educators: "Well, one thing they don't do is place an emphasis on testing. Oh, and they also don't allow for-profit education."
Texas: "Oh, well fuck that."

They break kids out after 9th grade into vocational and secondary track. I think that makes a lot of sense.

So does Texas. They just do it in the most inefficient possible way. Oh, and they keep giving standardized tests to the vocational kids.

Two bills were sponsored by Sen. Schwertner, R-Georgetown, whose campaign has paid for Pond visits on at least three occasions since '18. Schwertner said staff retreats at the Pond “promote team building amongst staff and perform office planning.” LOL https://t.co/vyrhmxmWRs
Come get your Chairman, @DanPatrick https://t.co/AJtFsW6sAa
So, Schwertner seems kinda awful, huh? Dick picsHates medically fragile kids even though he's a doctor Screwed up all electricity stuff that @DanPatrick put him in charge of. Not great.
Remember @DrSchwertner was in jail the last time @DanPatrick asked him to help fix electricity issues? Seems stupid to leave him in charge of that.
Little Gov @DanPatrick promoted @DrSchwertner after his dick pic scandal, as it turns out. https://t.co/IGkMw3FWZi

Ignore me, it was early. I was conflating Magnolia and Montgommery.

FWIW, I know exactly where that is, it's about 5 min from my SIL. You can call it the back of the Woodlands, but that intersection is basically the boundary from where things go from "regular" Woodlands red to dark red/kkk/hunter s thompson weird.

I’ve long told Harris County to not display my name on voter registration websites. Downside is that I can’t check my status on self serve websites. Guess I will find out in November if I’m registered or maybe I will just register again.

#1495

I check mine regularly, but what I figure will happen is that a big purge will occur at 4:50 pm on the last day to register for the 2024 election.  That way those purged will not have the opportunity to re-register.
