The president is also correct that my father killed JFK and my wife is dog ugly. Just the level of obsequious bootlicking that this man is capable of should be disqualifying for office all on its own.

“I have written many hundreds of pages on such topics, which you really need to examine carefully if you want to do responsible reporting,” he said. “You should not merely accept it on faith if some naive undergraduate student quotes something to you from an article they may not have even read fully or have the intellectual sophistication to understand.”

That is the most Classics Professor quote of all time.

Also, I'm really surprised that it's only 2 professors that they found committed sexual misconduct. Sounds like they weren't looking too hard. There were predatory professors all over the place when I was at UT. An ex of mine ended up rejecting a summer field research opportunity in the geology department because it was basically a professor taking a few women he wanted to bang out for a month of camping in ultra-rural Montana. Then there was the entire Department of Music in the Fine Arts college, where things were so bad they were notorious even by 90s standards.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations

The most generic GOP candidate statement.txt I've seen in a long time. Lol at having the Bush last name and being too scared to file your candidacy until the last possible minute. Then again, I don't know what I expect from him based on his previous statements always being insanely vague.

"If I were to run for this office, or any other office, I would certainly run as a big tent candidate focused on discussing the important matters. Together, we can stand for real opportunity for the many who need it."
https://www.texastribune.org/2019/04/16/pierce-bush-grandson-george-hw-bush-may-run-congress-houston/

Maybe name one concrete thing you stand for before running for Congress. (and maybe start a career with something smaller than Congress.)

I can't believe this state now has to worry about two more Bushs and somehow this one may be dumber than P. Someone should tell them maybe people are turning away from conservatism because their family showed how bad it is for everyone already.

I hope this guy loses in embarrassingly fashion but I know nothing about the district so I don't have faith.

Unless we have a White Night situation like in Watchmen where a bunch of cops get killed in simultaneous attacks statewide, this seems like overkill.

I agree. I keep trying to figure out what is the intended purpose of these alerts. Like what do they expect me to do?

zoux
Apr 28, 2006

Oh it's just theater, with the added benefit of making people think things like child kidnappings and cop murders are way more common than they are. They make new ones every session because it's free basically and it makes it look like they're doing something proactive. We have Amber, Blue, Silver, Camo, CLEAR and Endangered Missing Persons, just in Texas (EMPs for IDD and CLEAR is for everyone to old for Amber and too young for Silver. I think Camo is self explanatory)

PTSD veteran disappears with family worried about harming themselves or others

quote:

Current or former military members struggling with mental illness often times isolate themselves and disappear without notice. The state's Camo Alert program, created by 2019 Texas legislation, is designed to notify the public of a missing current or former member of the United States armed forces, including the National Guard or a reserve or auxiliary unit of any branch of the armed forces.
