Hmm….I wonder if this is a test balloon they sent up before announcing that the case against the Shirtless Sheriff has collapsed and must be dismissed…..

Pisses me off. This one, too, should hang around Brauchler's neck. He let Maketa slide on 2 out of nine felony counts because he and Maketaa were Republican conservatives. Agustin is guilty as hell. He and his deputy kidnapped a woman and jailed her in order to try to make her recant her domestic violence testimony against one of his deputies.
It's pretty fricking clear what happened. The 11 page indictment, included here as part of the Post's reporting, details exactly what went on that night, so there is no "lack of evidence. "
They were all good old boys together. Brauchler is complicit in letting a corrupt sheriff and his cronies avoid punishment for their misdeeds, including intimidating a witness and lying to and fleecing the El Paso taxpayers.
Something nonpolitical, but cool.
Gravity waves from a neutron star collision 130 million years ago are just now reaching earth, so we can "hear" two stars colliding. Steven Hawking helps us see the big picture.
I just finished his "brief history of time.". Much of the quantum physics stuff left me baffled. He does give a good explsnation for gravity, however.
Gravity?
That's the next item on the right wing nut jobs' list of suspicious theories yet to be proven. First, they challenged climate change. Then evolution. Then the shape of the earth. And finally gravity.
Gravity, it's just a theory.
Teach the controversy!
If you're George Brauchler running for Gov, gravity is a fact of life
Someday you and Karen will have to have a chat about that, V. She understands this stuff and can explain it so it even makes sense to someone as mathphobic as I. She thinks it's fun. I tell her that's why I married her; so she can do all the math.
My small rural high school was weak on math and I never dared take calculus in college. So when theseguys start talking aabour 16 dimensions, I turn on the nfl channel. 😢
Karen got a C in differential equations-level four calculus. She'd never had to study for a math class in her life and was so insulted that she dropped out of university and went to work for one of her instructors at the company he was starting with his brother.
I approach math through a humanities lens. If the mathematician can "tell a story", then I can follow the story. That's why I appreciate Hawking, Feynman, Sagan, Degrasse Tyson, anyone else who can make hard science accessible that way. It's a rare gift.
I'd never thought about it that way, MJ, but you're right. It makes more sense to me that way, too. Karen occasionally takes on tutoring students from D.U., and she teaches them that way
"Heart of Texas" was the most popular Texas secession page on Facebook during the 2016 election, earning a quarter of a million followers. One problem. It was a Russian front, operated by the notorious Internet Research Agency.
How the Russians pretended to be Texans — and Texans believed them
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out!
As for those orphan states to the east of Texas, let's give those bootstrappers in the Lone Star and Sunshine states the opportunity to shore up the financial challenges of those (Confederate) flag-luvin' freeloaders in between.
. . . it’s all lone star country
I wonder if we have our own Commie dupes and useful idiots:
The three top counties opting for secession (Yuma, Phillips, Cheyenne) have received $1.143 billion in ag subsidies between 1995 and 2014 (those three counties have a collective population of 16,343). That equates to a per capita transfer of wealth from the many to the few in those three counties of $69,938.00 during those years. Most of that money ends up in the hands of a relative few in each county, but those economies would collapse without these federal transfers. Colorado is a net contributor to the federal treasury – which means the taxes generated on the Front Range by evil-seeking progressives are in effect shouldering nearly the totality of these transfers through their taxes.
We really need to get a grip out east, but I'm not holding my breath.
While researching that article, I was taken back by their failed attempt at replacing 'One Man, One Vote' with "One Acre, One Vote"
If they leave, will they promise to take Gardner and Buck with them?
For what it's worth, Trump has dropped about 20 points in the Red States that voted for him in the 2016 election:
Trump has seen his biggest decline in red states

Sad news for both Motor Anus and Zappy…..

I wonder how Mike Coffman will vote when it gets to the House….
One less fox to guard the hen house:
What is up with Cynthia Coffman? She barely raised more than I did for the AG race….and I'm not running! http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/17/cynthia-coffman-raises-just-10000/
And yet another one of those deplorables is crawling out of the basket…..

Maybe he auditioning for a cabinet position.
Nasrallah FTW. If they ever gave this guy an enema you could put what was left in a matchbox.
