Actually its not about planning so much as it is about getting non-corporate labor to bury cable(making actual roots). Ever buried half a mile of cable with a ditch-witch? Its really hard work.

Ein Rand wrote that the end result of the actions of the heroes was a massive disaster for society and then the book just ends? Is that right? Well there is a little captains of industry village where some dude built a house out of gold and another dude stuck a spigot into the side of a mountain and it spews raw petroleum when opened (I am not kidding about that). But yeah, the rest of society was utterly hosed.

I'm going to be honest here. Like, okay, Omarosa might spill some knowledge or whatever, but the entirety of this situation is loving awful. This poo poo reads like a USA Today Big Brother recap, not how the government of the United States of America should be conducting itself, or reported on. It's like, I can't help but feel that this is the kind of poo poo that Trump wants, because it specifically feeds into his view that this whole thing is a reality television show. Omarosa should absolutely speak her mind and tell her story, but this kind of sensationalist, gimmick-rear end coverage of the goings-on in the White House is exactly what Trump thrives on.

I recall Mike Flynn's lawyers saying something similar but he was also involved in actual international espionage and as far as I know Omarosa just fed Trump New York Daily News headlines.

The court of appeals ruled that the FCC does not have the authority to prevent states from prohibiting municipal broadband. I believe Obama's FCC was in the process of examining legal options, but, well, here we are. At this point, we'd really need an act of congress if we want it to get through the courts (or a utility determination). Stickman fucked around with this message at 07:24 on Dec 15, 2017 |

Is he really thriving? I'm sure that Omarosa could dish some dirt that provokes him to saying some ridiculous poo poo on twitter that further alienates Republicans in congress (let alone normal people). Will she actually do it? Who knows.

Ok, so someone talk to me about Beto. Because from what I see he's a state-level representative from El Paso which is not a lot to speak of voting population wise. Beyond that he's the son of a republican judge, was in a band that had some other people go on to do things, and got arrested for burglary and DUI but never charged. I'm not super stoked on the guy, Texas has to have better. This dude doesn't even have a fleshed-out Wikipedia article about him, just one small Washington Post profile, almost as a byline.

People say the Republicans are loving up the judiciary, but mostly in the sense that the appointments are effectively Heritage and Federalist Society puppets. Kind of a different ballgame when they don’t know how to do anything whatsoever.

I asked for somebody to talk to me about him, because I've seen him referenced several times but if you Google him all you get is a Wikipedia article, a dead website with no information, and Washington Post profile which is basically the Wikipedia article. My post just paraphrased Wikipedia article, if you have some more information please link it. I'm moving to Texas in a couple of months and I want to find somebody to give a crap about, and there isn't poo poo about him other than a bio in the top page of results.

The things you need to win a Statewide race. You guys all need to go outside.

If others have interest: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/features/beto-orourke-ted-cruzs-punk-rock-problem-w502060 https://www.washingtonpost.com/life...0401_story.html Can he win statewide in Texas?  I like the retail politicking strategy though, especially because the unique brand of Cruz anticharisma makes that tough to match or counter.
