Name the school!

I went to CMU better than your school I bet and Stanford is better than CMU.

Beto was a joke and he still is.

Stop trying to deflect away from the topic of this conversation, if you want to talk about our college educations start a thread about it and I'll participate as needed.

Lina's degree from Stanford doesn't mean anything right now, she's in deep over her head.

I should be lining one of these up on the street and not staying inside poking around on the Internet. That much isn't a joke. I might find something down here in that ****ty town that you say nobody should live in, what with most of this tracking well north.

At least I have Sunday's haul to finish editing. I'll probably head back into Houston out tomorrow, smoke be damned.

Emmett and one judge were the only Republicans I voted for. I think Emmett's leadership would be useful at a time like this, but I also wish the best to Hidalgo, who is learning a lot, I'm sure. With the kind of person Emmett is, I'm sure he's rooting for her, too, unlike the op who is using this thread to grind his already well known political axe.

The bigger issue here if you watch the video is that chem companies actually lobby congress to set fines at a sustainable rate, so that it's easier to just pollute and pay the fines than it is to actually clean up after themselves. That's our Republican legislature at work.

If you believe this it says more about your education than Lina's. The orange man has been in over his head since he took office, by the way.

My nephew's upcoming eighth-grade summer reading assignment would be over the orange man's head.

I'm not talking about Lina's education, I'm talking about her experience. I'm sure she's great with political science and would make a great community organizer just like the light brown man was but she's a **** poor emergency management leader.

I have more emergency management experience than Lina Hidalgo has but that has nothing to do with my formal education, she's gained most of her very limited experience since this fire started on Sunday.
