Never forget the fundamental Conservative belief that all politicians are untrustworthy snakes and liars. When their guy is a piece of poo poo, he's conforming to their expectations.

Shortsighted, stupid, and selfish politicians are what Conservatives want, because that is what will advance the movement's longstanding goal of gutting government's ability to actually do things.

It's weird (but not at all surprising) to watch people wring their loving hands in angst over a policy that does so much public good at so little cost from an employer.

Da gubmint can't tell business owners what to do! They are THE KINGS OF AMERICA! The Conservatives won, so most progressives are just kinda getting ready to let the collapse of everything that we know as America happen so that we can negotiate the New New Deal for the 21st century. I wonder how many greedy people we can slap with a 100% tax margin?

Texas school funding was, is, and always will be all fuckered up without probably impossible changes to the state constitution.

That's not exactly true. My wife worked last year at a school with poor students and not enough funding. Was exactly as tough as you'd expect. Getting kids that are more worried about finding a meal than learning is a challenge. This year she works in a district that sent out a staff email recently saying that if enrollment declines next year they'll be subject to recapture and have to send money back to the state - an embarrassment of riches. The kids at this school don't have to worry about where their next meal comes from, their biggest behavioral issue is getting their ipad taken away. So a higher quality student, if you will. Money has everything to do with it.

Education needs to move past the cohort system, but the logistics of the Prussian system are easy to implement and well understood.

Most of the problems in the world are because a lot of us are stuck using 18th century forms to deal with a 21st century reality.

Same.

Sema has like 8 grand according to her funding page, 1400 followers on FB, and 52 twitter followers.

Our very own Dick Wolf has half the cash she does and is running in one district for a seat that nobody outside of Something Awful and the Tan Parker household honestly cares about.

what the christ is going on this year lol

I bet it was Republicans voting in the Dem primary to try to make people think exactly this:

It's not a derail. It's very much about why you should not vote for Ted Cruz.

Ah yes, if there's one thing we can count on from Republican primary voters, it's their craftiness, foresight, and media-savvy lol.

Tens of thousands got out of the house to vote in a primary that they had no investment in to mildly embarrass a guy that they're statistically likely to have still never heard of.

Third victim is a 75-year-old Hispanic woman. All three east of I-35. Map here; https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/12/us/texas-austin-blasts/index.html

My guess is that it's a white supremacist, which is going out on a limb a little, but not that far out on a limb; and that the first bombing in early March was a trial run for the bombings to coincide with SXSW week to amplify attention, yeah? I mean there's a twisted logic to it.

Adding to that is before Charlottesville, most of these guys were operating on the same page and following the same blueprint. But after that, it's all been thrown into disarray, while more radical voices in the white-power movement see the old blueprint of "taking the streets" as pointless and going on to actually advocate lone-wolf terrorism.

But who knows. I got the heebie jeebies about this though.

Those attacks could have been planned from census data...
