Why would a woman from Taiwan be a high ranking member of the CCP?

In before some idiot on here makes some comment about being Chinese or how bad a RINO Mitch is. Hopefully there will be none of that....At least no from other Aggies.

Why do a lot of incidents happen a 'private ranches.'

If you high ranking anything, might be best to decline invitations to a private ranch.

In 2024, that just seems like a bad idea.

Kind of a goofy question. Did non-Russian status prohibit Americans from being card-carrying members of the Communist party?

There are plenty of Taiwanese-CCP collaborators, particularly those who travel and have massive business presence on the mainlaind.

. . .


It probably kept them out of the Politburo. The clickbait snippet was guilty of gilding the lily with the "almost certainly a high ranking member" bit.

Was about to post the same thing. But it is curious that the five other news stories about her death have no specifics on anything. Just a "crash" in "Texas."

Weird.

The Daily Mail is usually a fun place for sensational material and almost always has the best pics, but its initial salvo is devoid of details apart from a bio about the deceased.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13082833/angela-chao-car-accident-dead.html

Good pics though.

Sounds like she had a medical episode of some sort while in the car. It happens more often than you'd expect and a lot of time ends in an unfortunate passing.

You probably got a good 15 years or so before development blows past Spring Branch on 281 and west from Dripping Springs on 290 and overruns the county. Enjoy it while it lasts

A lot of my buddies end up getting white boy wasted down at the ranch a few times a year and I could never even conceive of something like this happening.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Accidents do happen, and most of the time it is just that; not some grand evil scheme.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

So, much more likely to be sympathetic to CCP than if native Taiwanese.

They are even uglier in person than their images. Saw one in the neighbor's driveway; it's hideous.

i saw one today at work. very unique-looking. certainly catches a lot of eyeballs. that being said, if one of them just drove this lady into a lake and drowned her, there could be some negative news coming.

Not much else is being updated on this story. She died Sunday, reportedly. But did hear this, FWIW.



Maybe surveillance video?

i think the prudent thing at this juncture is to

ban all female Asian drivers

and Teslas.

everywhere


they did for the 737 Maxes, should do it for the Tesla deathtraps.

Rich people ranches aren't like your ranch. My last company did work for a VERY wealthy guy on his "ranch" putting in airplane hangars for his aircraft fleet. I saw pictures of the place, and it was certainly somewhere someone might drive a Tesla to.

This is a terribly insensitive thread and should be taken down for the good of all Aggies.

Angela was a close neighbor, a casual friend of my wife's, and a member of our church. She was an amazing person, one of the nicest you'll ever meet. She was just asking for advice on schools for her not-yet-elementary age baby, who she leaves behind and now won't grow up with a mom because a trucker ran a red light.

It's a tragedy.

My wife (not an ag & not on TA) sent me a text today when this thread made its way around the web with the quote "your aggies are a-holes". Come on y'all.
