Simone Biles is a fucking quitter.
-
Who?
-
Good for her. Fuck the haters. Do you.
The fake alpha types whining about it are hilarious, the self-awareness is just below sea level.

It's not just a bold move, it's the kind of thing that might actually save a life, and might actually inspire someone.

Pretty exciting for PAThey to be on the same page as Piers Morgan.

Hey, Spark!
C'mon..she had a bad vault, couldn't handle the adversity and quit on her teammates and her country! Imagine if Dee Brown had taken one bad shot in the NCAA championship game, said "Nope, don't feel it today" and then sat down the rest of the game. This is Scottie Pippen Migrane Headache 2.6 Seconds 2.0.
She sure doesn't mind collecting the $ from Uber Eats, etc.
-
If Dee Brown had backed out of the championship game for mental health reasons I'd have supported him. These people don't owe me a damn thing. Their mental health is infinitely more important than my desire for them to win, which is really seated in my own personal reasons (i.e., I'm a fan of the Illini, or an American). I'm a grown up.
The funny thing is how many people are sitting behind their keyboards calling her weak or selfish. The girl who at 25 has competed in multiple Olympics, competed through broken bones, a kidney stone, sexual assault perpetrated and covered up by the very infrastructure meant to support her. SHE is weak and selfish, but the people whose investment in her performance ends at "I wanted her to win for me" are alphas. Fuckin' nonsense man, some middle school shit. It's not a coincidence that damn near every athlete of her stature is supporting her, saying they've been through similar things, etc. and the massive majority of complaints about it are coming from keyboard warriors. Simone Biles is stronger than damn near any of these morons criticizing her, and has proven it time and again.
Let's say she decides, you know what I don't have it today, my head's not in it, but I'm going to go out and compete because if not these idiots will have a field day with me ... and then she gets bronze. Who are the first people criticizing her performance?
Again, she doesn't owe me anything. I'm glad she did what she needed to do. I’m always going to side with the athletes over the grown ass men who pretend the athletes owe them something.
-
Well, the difference is I'm skeptical that it is a true "mental health" issue versus she screwed up and could not handle the possibility of failure. Could that be a "mental health issue"? I suppose. But then again I think her whining is a disservice to the nut jobs on the Blue Line I see when I go into the office who have "real" mental health issues and aren't making big $ off their fame. Again, Scottie Pippen Migraine 2.0.

It’s not up to you or me to determine “a real mental health issue”. She doesn’t owe you anything. If she says she had a mental health issue and didn’t want to participate, good for her - that’s not my call to make in any way.
Not sure why you bring up Pippen’s migraine. By all accounts he was sick as hell. And tried to play if I remember right. The Pippen incident you should be talking about is when the shot got drawn up for Kukoc so Pippen went and pouted on the bench - which is obviously very different from the Biles situation. She stayed, she supported her teammates, she spoke to them directly about it.
The whole reaction to it is just thinly veiled toxicity about “toughness”, and its bullshit.

Her issues won't cause her to miss a free throw or a broad-jump. It could cause to land on her head and end up like many of her detractors. Geez, how about some better context here?
-
I'll respond to both of you here: there has never been an inkling of any of this from her before. She has a shitty first vault and then this just pops up conveniently enough that she can hide behind it. Just like Scottie Pippen being a whiny bitch because Phil designed the play for Kukoc.
The Olympics is where you make your money. Suck it up, hon. You fucked up one vault. It's ok. No one will hold it against you. Stiffing your teammates is completely different though.

Just such a childish and toxic attitude about it. I'm glad she told people like you to fuck off and did what she needed to do.
The good news is, since the Pippen event society has grown up a little, mental health has become more important and safe to talk about, and we're moving away from that kind of bullshit. Thank goodness.
As far as there 'never having been an inkling of this before', that likely speaks to her toughness. She was literally sexually abused by the very people meant to take care of her body. She is under enormous pressure that there's no way you or I could possibly understand. Despite all that, she seems relatively well adjusted and kind - but JFC, who wouldn't have mental health and psychological issues after that?
-

Quitters never win; winners never quit. She's making it up because she fucked up.

Did you miss The Last Dance? Sure seems like Pippen is still getting skewered for quitting on his team.
-

You're criticizing her because you lack empathy and emotional intelligence. You're accusing her of making something up, but the actual undeniable truth here is: you have no fucking idea if that's true. None whatsoever.
-

I watched it. Entertaining, but a shamelessly biased portrayal of those teams without question.
Those people are childish too, if they're skewering him for suffering a serious health issue at a bad time. Fuck them. That's childish and toxic too, not something to be emulated.

Well, considering this happened only after a bad vault, maybe she is using it as a shield at this time?

Who knows? It’s not my place to make that judgment or criticize the choice she made for herself. I can’t imagine she WANTED this. But I’m glad she had the courage to do what she needed to and didn’t prioritize winning a gold medal for YOU over her mental health. There’s a lot to be learned from that.
-

If you leaf back through all your Simone books, her diaries, blogs & newsletters, you'll find hints
Frankly, I can't believe a guy as well-versed on All Things Simone could have missed it.

I think as the story continues to come out that there will be a history. There almost always is. You've got to give the individual the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

I am not going to waste empathy on some wealthy gymnast who chooses to quit after a bad vault. The truth is, you have no fucking clue if she is playing you. Not like it has not happened before.

We all know Pippen was a whiny bitch who was pissed Kukoc was getting the ball. He still is about it.
-

There isn’t any possible way for her to be “playing me”, because as I’ve mentioned - I don’t believe she owes me a fuckin’ thing. I think she should prioritize herself over emotional children who will criticize her for doing so, and I’m glad she did.

She didn't screw over me. I didn't bet on it. She screwed over her teammates who had been working towards this for their whole lives.
-

You’re conflating two separate events here. One of them - the migraine - can surely be used as an analogy here. The other - refusing to play because he didn’t get to shoot - can’t in any rational way.
-

The last time she walked out on her teammates after a bad vault...*checks notes*...never.
-
She didn't screw over me. I didn't bet on it. She screwed over her teammates who had been working towards this for their whole lives.
And if they’re pissed about it, I’m sure that will be discussed and handled between them. There’s no indication of that though. The people mad about it have no skin in the game, almost to a person. In fact, I haven’t seen a single Olympian or former Olympian who isn’t supportive and understanding of her. Only like, Charlie Kirk and his fans, and you.
-

You are assuming she is being honest. I'm not.
-
You are assuming she is being honest. I'm not.
You’re assuming she isn’t instead of taking her word for it, despite you having absolutely no idea. I’ll stick with taking her at her word that she needed to drop out like an adult. Totally works for me.
-
I won't pass judgement on Biles as there is no way to know whether the situation was a mental health crisis, or her inability to overcome adversity or face competitive shortfalls.
As a human, she deserves all of the space and grace that she wants or needs, but as a multi-million dollar endorsement receiving athlete, you just don't get to say, "I can't go today". World-class athletes get paid insane amounts of money because they CAN look failure and adversity in the eye and persevere. You don't get to be treated like an "average Joe" and live in a 7+ figure income world. People who get paid at that level are always expected to answer the bell.
You think Simone Biles makes a million dollars for participating in the Olympics? You know she actually forfeited money by dropping out, yeah? 10’s of thousands I believe.
-

What are they going to say right now while in Tokyo? Fuck her for quitting on us? Nope. Everyone is going to he all kumbaya right now. Let's see what happens when the games are over and the team is back in the US.
I have no clue who Charlie Kirk is.
I really don't care about the Olympics. But this seems like some brat flippantly playing the "mental health" card when there are people with real mental health issues. This is a disservice to them. That is what bothers me.

A much bigger disservice to people with mental illness is to listen to a person who says “I’m having a mental health issue” - especially a sexual assault survivor who has faced more pressure than you can imagine, and who you’ve never met - and saying “I don’t believe you”.
-
I think as the story continues to come out that there will be a history. There almost always is. You've got to give the individual the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
No I don't. For example, I didn't believe, or disbelieve, the strippers in the Duke lacrosse case when their story came out despite all those fuck heads in the media and Duke professors who did. They all looked like chumps who got played.
-
Yes. I think that because she’s a world class gymnast (hence Olympic participant) that she makes a million dollars for participating in the olympics. If she wasn’t the greatest of all time, and not an Olympic participant, she wouldn’t have been making all of those commercials and cashing all those checks.
So, to summarize, yes.
Those commercials pay her for the ability to use her in advertisements, not to participate in the Olympics.
And with salary and endorsements, the best estimate I can find for her is $316,000 a year.
-

Yep,.especially in a team sport. If there were these issues, she should have given her spot up to someone else instead of selfishly taking it for herself and then saying "fuck it."
-
Pretty good money. Even if it isn’t a million.
How low does your salary need to be before you can protect your mental health without a bunch of morons criticizing you for it?
-

Exactly. If she does.have mental health issues, and knew about them, that means she took someone's spot to keep that cash coming in. That makes her decision to go even worse.

LOL.
Don't pretend you're worried about 'doing disservice' to people with mental illness man. You clearly DGAF.
-

Uh, she is paid for those commercials because those paying her expect her to go to the Olympics and actually perform while there. They aren't paying her to go and then quit after one bad vault.
-
Imagine being a boss, and employing a young woman who is at the top of her field despite unreal pressure and trauma in her life. And when one day she messes something up and then says, "I'm sorry, I can't do this, my head isn't in there and I'm hurting the company" you tell her "I don't believe you."
Just awful stuff.
-
LOL.

Your doing the same thing you accused me of doing. Ironic.
-

They're not paying for her to go at all. They're paying for her to sell subs or Uber rides or whatever.
-
Your doing the same thing you accused me of doing. Ironic.
I'm actually talking with you, sussing out your views. I'm not just watching you on TV and passing judgment.
If you were worried about doing disservice to people with mental health issues, you wouldn't tell them "I don't believe you" when they say they are struggling. That's the opposite of caring.
-

And if a man did the same thing? That wouldn't be as awful? No, they would say get your fucking candy ass back to work or get the fuck out.
-

And that's toxic as fuck, and shouldn't be celebrated. Yes, if a man did the same thing and you told him "I don't believe you", that's incredibly fucked up and insensitive.
-

Seriously? They paying you or me to sell subs or Uber Eats? No, we are not Olympians.

I just don't necessarily believe her, given the context this occured.
-
Seriously? They paying you or me to sell subs or Uber Eats? No, we are not Olympians.
Nope, we're not famous.
They're not using her in advertising because she wins at the Olympics. They're using her because winning at the Olympics made her famous.
Subway paid Pele for ads in the 2010's. Was it because he was gonna go kill it in the EPL or whatever this year? They still pay Michael Phelps. Is it because they thought he'd win gold in 2021?
Uber Eats isn't paying Simone Biles to compete in the 2020 (2021) Olympics. That isn't what they pay her for, flat out.
-
I just don't necessarily believe her, given the context this occured.
Yes, I've mentioned how fucked up and toxic that is. Next time someone in your life mentions that they are having mental health issues, just tell them you don't believe them. And consider the differences in the pressures they and you face, and the pressures Simone Biles faced.
-

Not sure that is true, as we don't have their marketing plans, but fair enough.

I think Jobu is kinda famous.
-

I will certainly look at the context in which the claim was raised and not blindly assume they were correct. I have 2 older boys so I hear enough whiny assed excuses for why things don't get done on a daily basis already.
-
Yeah, and I haven’t made a fucking dime off of it.
People didn't even send donations that time you pretended to die?
-
Yeah, and I haven’t made a fucking dime off of it.
Please tell us how that makes you feel.
-
People didn't even send donations that time you pretended to die?
A prime example why you may want to not take everything said at face value.
-
Yes, but if in 2018 she decided that she wasn’t going to be competing in the Olympics, Uber Eats is telling her to suck their cock.
She’s being paid for these endorsements because she’s an Olympic athlete. Seems like common sense.
Just like they told Phelps when he retired, huh? It was him retiring a slap in their face because they actually pay for him to go to the Olympics, not to sell subs?
-
A prime example why you may want to not take everything said at face value.
Well yeah, when Simone Biles does something within a thousand miles of that childish maybe she doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt anymore. But she hasn’t, despite the trauma and pressure she’s endured.
-
Haha, nope. Not one red cent.
Good. Go fuck yourself.
-
Just like they told Phelps when he retired, huh? It was him retiring a slap in their face because they actually pay for him to go to the Olympics, not to sell subs?
Do we see him anymore on ads? I haven't, but I have only watched baseball, hockey or the last 2 minutes of NBA playoff games in the last few months.
-
Good. Go fuck yourself.
Now that's fucking funny.
-
Fine, I guess. I’m not in it for the money. I just hope one day I can eat Custard’s wife’s pussy.
You may as well take Spark's advice and go fuck yourself.
-
Do we see him anymore on ads? I haven't, but I have only watched baseball, hockey or the last 2 minutes of NBA playoff games in the last few months.
Yeah, he still does Subway stuff. Or at least did a couple years ago. Had that ad with Pele, who hadn’t played soccer in decades.
-

I think we could make distinctions between Pele and Biles. Kind of like you would get a Dorothy Hamill ad in the last decade.
-
Practice makes perfect.
-
I won’t pretend to know what she’s going through. I can’t imagine the pressure she’s under and having gone through what she has gone through.
I have no doubt that performing that poorly has totally weighed negatively on her mental health. I’ll take her at her word until proven otherwise (impossible) because these things cannot be ignored.
However it does seem a little convenient to play the unassailable Mental Health Card after completely flopping. And of course her teammates aren’t going to turn on her during the games.
Frankly, using her teammates’ on-the-record support as an example of unanimous support for what she did is kind of silly. From a PR perspective they’re even less obliged to opine on this than we cesspoolers are.
Last but not least her Uber Eats commercials are fucking garbage. Not because they have LGBTQ+ people in them, but because they’re unfunny to the point of being completely cringeworthy.
Also, pretty much everyone has mental health issues or some sort. I’m diagnosed. I still had to go to work.
-
Oh, Phelps left in the middle of the Olympics? I missed that.
He retired while under contract with Subway. Twice, actually. Can’t believe he did that to them.
Speaking of Phelps, wonder what he thinks of the Biles situation? He’s probably just soft too.

And if you told your boss (yes I know you’re your own boss, but think along with me here) I can’t do this today, I’m having some mental health issues - and he replied that he doesn’t believe you and you’re soft, a quitter - that’s a positive thing?
-
Ah, there it is!
I love you, Spark. I really do.
I used to be a big fan, but for real - suck my cock.

Did the guy just fuck up a work assignment and then say that?
-
One thing I think is interesting Re: the Biles thing is the re-examining of the Kerri Strug incident. She did the opposite - pushed herself through and won gold (although with an unnecessary vault) and then had to retire because of her injury at 18. I’m glad Biles didn’t feel like she had to risk herself to win a gold medal for others.
-

We've missed you, Spark. Not the same without Tempo and you going at it.
-

Yep. He messed something up at work that hurt the team, and then admitted he wasn’t in the right place to perform at the level required of him due to his mental health. Soft!

I don't remember that, but was it unncessary? I've seen people arguiing both sides of that and I have no recollection of what happened.

I'll note that her issue was physical, something with a leg, not her head.
-

It was, but I think the debate is whether they knew it was at the time. Watch the video, it’s excruciating. Had to do a vault on a broken ankle that forced her to retire soon after. She didn’t want to but was encouraged to by her coach Bela Karolyi - an infamously psychologically abusive coach whose ranch many of the assaults perpetrated by Biles’ abuser occurred at.
This is the atmosphere and support structure available to these women for so long and we have people behind keyboards calling them soft. Unreal.
-
I'll note that her issue was physical, something with a leg, not her head.
And the implication here is that one is “more real” than the other.
Strug, for her part - just like all other Olympic athletes I’ve seen - has come out in support of Biles’ decision.
-
Let's see what Custard has to say.
Definitely more of a question for CT.
-
Definitely more of a question for CT.
LMFAO
Is that idiot still around here?
-
No. Instead, we have fucking Illinichief.
I check in here enough to know that a few of the truest morons from HQ made it over here, for sure.
But enough about ILLove, let’s get back to talking about Simone Biles
-
Or butt. Whichever.
-
Did you see Illove lose it over people eating pizza with silverware?
That was fun.
So, Simone. Hope she gets her shit together, I guess. If not, hey, cool too.
So, have you been getting pussy? I have been. More often than usual, actually. May even get some tonight.
There’s a thread on here where you can post about any pussy you might be getting.
Not for a while, but I've never been the sort to worry about that either. Thanks for asking.
I didn't see that with ILLove, but he's the sort that I'm always surprised can occasionally type in complete sentences. I bet he has to wear velcro.
-
Oh, you should start with page 1 of each of the political threads, and just let it soak in.
Just jk-ing. Don’t do that. lol
I wouldn't.

I have no doubt that Biles would have competed, and done well, if she felt she was able.
None.
I wish her well.

And if you told your boss (yes I know you’re your own boss, but think along with me here) I can’t do this today, I’m having some mental health issues - and he replied that he doesn’t believe you and you’re soft, a quitter - that’s a positive thing?
I never called someone “soft” or a “quitter”
There are millions of people far less accomplished and dare I say *privileged* than Simone Biles who don’t get to play that card. Many of those same folks have probably been traumatized or abused even worse than she has and are making 5-10% of the money.
Now if we want to say that McDonald’s employees should get to take mental health days because they say they “can’t do this” after fucking up a sandwich or filling someone’s order incorrectly, that’s an entirely different conversation.
I think people regardless of their position in society or their job or celebrity/athlete status should have their mental health valued.
I also think playing the mental health card after fucking up is kind of a bad look whether that’s what’s going on or not.
It’s not an either/or situation.

It tastes like whatever you mix it with. If you mix it with something you like, it tastes like something you like.
Of course, if you're stupid enough to buy the Big Pharma/medical supply version, you give up that control + most of your pocket money.
Knowing how stupid you are, I expect that's what happened.

I'm not offended by it, I know what it was. But it was a typical-for-this-board edgelord 4chan style joke, and there's just nothing in that for me personally. I don't get off on calling people faggots or joking about sexual assault, so I don't spend much time here.

I can't get through this whole thread, but there's a lot of junk in there.
The more apt comparison is Rick Ankiel. Ankiel was looking like he was going to be a generational talent at pitcher, started the first game of the Division series in the playoffs, and then went completely off the rails between the 2nd and 3rd inning, going from 2 clean innings to not even finishing the third after throwing five wild pitches. Now, he didn't pull himself, LaRussa pulled him, but if Biles crashed and burned in the Vault she would have been pulled from the uneven bars if she wasn't injured. Ankiel didn't just have a bad inning, his career basically went to pot and he switched to Centerfield
Ankiel was having a huge season. Biles EASILY won the US Trials - if she was a "quitter" why did she go out and post a performance that would win the Olympics at the trials, then decide not to just win the Olympics?
Differences being that Ankiel could stay out there all day long, give up a ton of runs, but not break his neck.
There is a reason the team (Cardinals and US Olympic squad) has backups

Ankiel got the yips. Like Steve Sax and Chuck Knoblach.
Biles had a bad vault. Fine, no problem there; it happens. But as "The GOAT" she could not handle the fact that she had a bad vault? So she quit?
If she had mental health issues, why did she bother to take someone's spot? Or did she have a bad vault and was pouting about it?
-

How do we know Ankiel got the yips? Because he threw a bunch of wild pitches.
"The yips" is not "torn ligament" - it means your head isn't talking to your body anymore - one could say "you have a mental health issue"
Biles screwup was letting "mental health issues" be the headline instead of "I got the twisties"
-
Biles did the right thing in not feeling the need to defend her position or reducing herself to the people who declared it a mental health issue. A gymnast with the yips could become a gymnast with serious health issues quite easily.
It's not like a pitcher not being able to find the plate.

Thank the Lord Simone didn't die doing her balance beam routine. Unbelievable mental grit and determination from The GOAT to win the Bronze.

Simone Biles has one plan in place following this summer’s Tokyo Olympics.
The superstar, who has won more world gymnastic championship medals than any man or woman, will head to 35 cities across the United States for a series of exhibitions called the “Gold Over America Tour.”
-
Good grief. When my mental state is off I might forget why I went to the kitchen. On a really bad day, I could leave the refrigerator door open. A basketball player is off, he scores less than half his average and commits 6 turnovers. A gymnast could land on her head instead of her feet ...

I thought PAThey sort of lost his mind toward the end of Cesspool I. Finally felt compelled to employ the Block User function, just to stop the harassment. When he turned up here, I was kinda surprised. But he seemed normal again.

Gotta disagree with you here. I do think it moves the bar (quite a bit) on what we glorify about championship level athletes (mental toughness), but I’ll also concede most sports don’t ask you to be upside down and spinning 9 feet in the air.
She owes us nothing. She is the greatest ever in her sport. Pound for pound the best athlete on the planet. And I’ll probably get called a snowflake for saying it, I’m glad she had the courage to take a stand for prioritizing mental wellness. We make too much of sports. It’s entertainment and theater, not life or death.

If Dee Brown had backed out of the championship game for mental health reasons I'd have supported him. These people don't owe me a damn thing. Their mental health is infinitely more important than my desire for them to win, which is really seated in my own personal reasons (i.e., I'm a fan of the Illini, or an American). I'm a grown up.
The funny thing is how many people are sitting behind their keyboards calling her weak or selfish. The girl who at 25 has competed in multiple Olympics, competed through broken bones, a kidney stone, sexual assault perpetrated and covered up by the very infrastructure meant to support her. SHE is weak and selfish, but the people whose investment in her performance ends at "I wanted her to win for me" are alphas. Fuckin' nonsense man, some middle school shit. It's not a coincidence that damn near every athlete of her stature is supporting her, saying they've been through similar things, etc. and the massive majority of complaints about it are coming from keyboard warriors. Simone Biles is stronger than damn near any of these morons criticizing her, and has proven it time and again.
Let's say she decides, you know what I don't have it today, my head's not in it, but I'm going to go out and compete because if not these idiots will have a field day with me ... and then she gets bronze. Who are the first people criticizing her performance?
Again, she doesn't owe me anything. I'm glad she did what she needed to do. I’m always going to side with the athletes over the grown ass men who pretend the athletes owe them something.

I went to high school with this guy. He was a good athlete in HS. Not sure how he lost his arm.
Oh, guess it was a construction accident.

Meh. Olympics happen once every 4 years (or so). Don't show up and then bag out when you are there. That's bogus.

Simone Biles' list of accomplishments:
Olympic Experience
Two-time Olympian (2016, 2020); seven-time Olympic medalist (4 gold, 1 silver, 2 bronze)

Impressive resume. I’d say she represented our country admirably.

We all know that. Wally Pipp was a really good baseman. Yet, he is only known for being replaced by Lou Gehrig.

I had forgotten she’s a survivor of sexual abuse, a former patient of disgraced USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar.
She said before the games that one of the big reasons she wanted to go back to the Olympics was because she was the last Nassar abuse survivor on the team, and she didn't want that to be swept under the rug.
She sure came out of all that looking stronger and better than the people sitting on their couches criticizing her.

Watched a little of the police body cam stuff today from when they were pulled over. Weird. She was supposedly the aggressor in some physical conflict between the two when he was driving. They were living in this smallish van and cruising the west, and had gotten into an argument. I wonder if they just kept at each other until he kind of snapped.
My guess is he pussed out, and committed suicide, and they've yet to find his body in that huge area where he went to hike by his folk's house.

There are basically 2 demographics in the Bay Area at this point
1) Can't afford to live here, considering leaving to find a place that is affordable
2) Can afford to live here. Considering leaving to retire like a king.
McDonald's has a sign starting at $18/hour. If you have some sort of residual housing situation - long term ownership, benevolent landlord, rent control, parent's basement - you can save up some serious scratch, because while things like gas and food are a little more expensive here, they aren't well over double what they are in the rest of the country.
When Sander's talks about income inequality, he means between high earners and low earners, but the inequality between the economies in places like SF/NY/LA and the rest of the country is becoming a pretty gnarly issue.

True story - I interviewed with HP in Boise out of UIUC. Micron is there, it's always been a small outpost.
I'm not sure it could stick with larger populations, it's gorgeous up there, there's decent skiing, the weather isn't awful, but there is just not much to do. It's basically Utah before Utah "modernized"

I can live with that. Will be a lot harder for me to boycott the 2022 World Cup which should not be in Qatar.
The Olympics are going to be an interesting thing going forwards, they really are a big money sink for the host. So the IOC is going to have more trouble getting hosts who aren't doing it for propaganda reasons. At least the World Cup is wildly profitable for the host (as long as they have existing stadium infrastructure)

Should There Be Permanent Sites for the Summer and Winter Olympics?

I think the permanent sites are an awesome idea. The only problem is it goes against inclusion to let countries host. With the financial drain plus propaganda being spewed from countries like China and Russia, I’m all for a centrally located permanent host. Keeping away from Communist and dictatorship countries. Somewhere that promotes freedom would be the best avenue imo.

Eh. The people here haven't changed. Illove has always been Illove, Tempo has always been Tempo, Custard has always been Custard...
I've been on here a lot less, and rarely look at the stuff that is not Illini sports related. I'm sure you do the same. It is what it is here. Like it or not, it is what it is.

Trans and gay people don’t bother me. One of my best friends is openly gay. I don’t personally know any openly trans people. I am sympathetic to the hatred and derision that is directed their way. I understand that the lack of understanding of these people is what breeds the contempt in the first place.
I also understand that it’s contradictory to then also say that I don’t need to have awareness and visibility and education about it shoved down my throat constantly and I’m ok with that.
I believe the education and awareness campaigns need to be handled tactfully if they are to succeed in any meaningful way.
Seems to me a lot of places have added the unisex bathrooms which easily solves the bathroom issue which, imo, isn’t really an issue.

Kind of like how heterosexuality was shoved down peoples throats for a millennia?
When I was a kid, homosexuality was viewed as a mental illness. It was also associated with outlandish conduct, sexual promiscuity, and pedophilia.
I was taught the superiority of the American nuclear family in grade school. A good family was a working dad, stay at home mom, and obedient children. We felt sorry for children from broken homes. All of my grade school teachers who taught that were women. The principal was a woman. There was one male teacher in the school. He got busted for molesting children.
There is now some interesting work that views the nuclear family as part of the fragmentation of the extended family.

My daughter got us a Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker for Christmas. You can make sandwiches with English muffins or biscuits. Basically, this contraption has a place where you put the bottom of the sandwich, along with cheese and bacon/sausage/whatever, then you close this trap door thingy, then you crack an egg on top of that and put the top on, close it and in like 4 minutes, boom, breakfast sandwich. Pretty fucking awesome.
And yes, we also have the griddle to make over easy eggs, bacon, hash browns, etc. Breakfast on the weekend...really not a whole hell of a lot better.

Does this contraption butter the bread while it is in it? Is the meat cooked or dies it cook it in 4 minutes? Can you use bagles?

It does not butter the bread.
The meat needs to be at least partially cooked. We use the precooked bacon from Costco. Or, you could fry some bacon ahead of time. Sausage, same. Cook it first, or get precooked.
Yes, you could use bagels.

The golf program just keeps winning , coming back from 1 down going into the final day.
"The Fighting Illini men's golf team made history on Sunday at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort, battling windy conditions in a back-and-forth contest to overtake Michigan State and secure the Big Ten Championship for a conference-record seventh consecutive season, and the 12th time in the last 13 years. Overall, it marks the 19th Big Ten Title for the Illini program."

$200 for 3 Ryobi batteries, a charger, and a free brushless tool at Home Depot is a good deal. So MrsMn is going to pickup a free 10" battery chainsaw when she buys the 3 batteries.

The gas chainsaw goes to the end of the bench, for emergency use only.

For some stuff, sure. The Stihl electric chainsaw is pretty decent, but it can only do so much. I cut some decent sized stuff, and there's no way in f'n hell a battery chainsaw is doing it. Hopefully the technology keeps improving.

I started with the Stihl String Trimmer and soon added the chainsaw. Still have the 2-cycle saw but rarely need it anymore.

The last time we had a competent AD, the maintenance crew ran him out of town. The excuse was he enjoyed the same perks previous ADs had likely enjoyed. The real reason was they had been doing things as certain effed up way for decades. They failed and patted themselves on the back. Then here comes this pushy guy from CA changing the losing culture by force. He made plans and carried them out. Entrenched powers resented that.
I imagine after he moved in, people from the bus garage and stadium crew fixed his cars, shoveled his sidewalks, mowed his yard, and cleaned his pools. Same as they had done for others? It seemed like part of his package. Of course, had he been a saint, he would have made sure his accountant paid his taxes on the imputed value of the services? (Trump says fringe benefits are tax free).

How China Exerts Its Power
The country has developed a network of institutions designed to silence its critics, enhance its reputation abroad, and use the strengths of the American university system for its own benefit.
Yeah, let's keep educating them on how they can enslave their own, and others!

"According to the complaint, Penn has received over $67 million from China-based sources since 2013. And since the school opened the Washington, D.C.-based Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in 2017, the school has received over $22 million from China-based sources that are listed simply as “Anonymous.”

"The Justice Department announced the end of its "China Initiative" on Wednesday.
Established by the Trump administration, the initiative expanded and better coordinated FBI-led efforts to detect, disrupt, and prosecute Chinese espionage campaigns on U.S. soil. A key focus fell on espionage efforts targeting U.S. college campuses. Toward that end, the Justice Department successfully prosecuted a number of academics who failed to register grants from China.
As FBI Director Christopher Wray observed just this January, China's espionage campaign has "reached a new level — more brazen, more damaging than ever before. And it’s vital — vital — that all of us focus on that threat together."

SB202
*removed voters' ability to submit an absentee ballot request completely online by requiring a pen and ink signature
*restricted access to absentee ballot drop boxes compared to 2020
*halved the window during which absentee ballots can be requested and submitted.
*new restrictions on the ability of third-party groups to send out pre-filled absentee ballot applications.
*specified an "unlimited" number of voter challenges can be brought at any time and requires counties to adjudicate them within 10 days.
*Voting groups estimate the state has seen at least 80,000 challenges, which they warn could have a chilling effect at the ballot box.
*The secretary of state's office has acknowledged there may be a need for a policy change to add a cutoff date by which challenges should be submitted.

First, all those new costly rules fixed a problem that did not even exist. All the law did was create more hassles for voters and county clerks. Also an avenue to sabotage voter rolls.
Making it harder usually reduces turnout. Lower turnout usually benefits Republicans. So voter suppression is in their interest. If minorities are fighting back and voting anyway, good for them!
Second, what's wrong with an electronic signature? They are legally binding in all 50 states. Even checking an "I agree" box is generally as binding as a pen and ink signature.

From Georgia Public Broadcasting, with NPR/PBS logos, regarding missing chain of custody for absentee ballots
"Georgia's most populous county is home to the heavily Democratic city of Atlanta — and a history of problems and shortcomings with election administration.
"Absentee drop boxes were authorized by an emergency State Election Board rule last year, which included the requirement of 24/7 video surveillance of the boxes as well as the transfer forms filled out by a two-person collection team."
"Grady County's registrar sent an email to the state saying there are no forms because "I am the only one in my office, and I was the only one who emptied the drop box every day." Taylor County's registrar said she did not keep track and asked "How am I going to be able to do these forms?"

2 more requests were sent to Fulton County Registration and Elections for documents required by the State Board of Elections. 6 months after the initial open records request was sent, Georgia Star News still did not have the documents for a Presidential election.
This isn't an understaffing or redundant paperwork issue.

'If Fulton County is unable to find the handful of transfer forms, they could be sent to the State Election Board for investigation, just as in Coffee, Grady and Taylor counties — and the forms have no effect on the authenticity of ballots or count of the election. Every ballot that is returned is tied to a voter, matched with an application for a ballot, and authenticated by poll workers before counting."

btw, Sean Connery was a good actor, but there were better British actors in his generation. Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness, David Niven. Products of an era of globalization. Of course, a member of the royal family represents globalized UK. Is it his bride's race?
Choosing young Arnold Schwarzenegger, who emigrated to the USA, to represent Austria, is ironic, condescending, and unintentionally funny. Is the other one a current Arnold? Did the new world order make him older and fatter?

Most of the negative effects of Globalization are related to the crass materialism and amorality of American crony capitalism.
-
I gather this is a lame effort to play on the alpha / beta male myth?
So UK before free trade is represented by an internationally famous famous actor who played a degenerate, amoral British spy? How and why?
btw, Sean Connery was a good actor, but there were better British actors in his generation. Laurence Olivier, Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness, David Niven. Products of an era of globalization. Of course, a member of the royal family represents globalized UK. Is it his bride's race?
Choosing young Arnold Schwarzenegger, who emigrated to the USA, to represent Austria, is ironic, condescending, and unintentionally funny. Is the other one a current Arnold? Did the new world order make him older and fatter?

yawn
Please explain how any part of that was a good one? Playing on their own ignorance and stupidity?
Lots of unintended irony there.
Picking a mythical Greek hero to represent Italian males before globalization might be the richest.
But at least they picked one that was actually before globalization.
Picking a fictional British spy who typifies many of excesses of global culture to represent UK males before globalization?
Why someone who immigrated to the United States at age 20 is used to represent Austrian males before or after globalization makes no sense at all.

I got the lame attempt at attempt at humor. Before globalization, men were supposedly muscular alpha males. After, they are turned into beta male soy boy girly men. A good one would show that.

This rhetoric about spending money we don't have is bs. Every Republican since Reagan has increased the deficit via tax cuts and borrow & spend. While there were true supply side believers, some Reagan insiders saw it as a devious way to starve government programs that help people.

Documents can be classified for a multitude of reasons and some don't have anything to do with national security.
All of Obama's, and Presidents before him, Presidential records have been turned over to NARA. ;D
Biden's classified documents from his days as VP were under which president ?
Biden's classified documents from his Senate days were under which President ?
From a NARA press statement on Oct 11, 2022 ..
"Reports that indicate or imply that those Presidential records were in the possession of the former Presidents or their representatives, after they left office, or that the records were housed in substandard conditions, are false and misleading."
And Senate Intel and NARA are now arguing over which, if any, of the Biden/Trump/Pence documents that they will be allowed to see. 🙈
-
These documents are not personal property. They should not be at personal residences, period. Clearly it’s a widespread issue and the system needs to be reformed. Either classifications have meaning, or they don’t.
In a less hyper-partisan time era, the proper response would be a formal government review and overhaul of how classified documents are handled – how/why classification happens, declassification, tracking & recovering documents (especially in the hands of elected officials and others who are allowed to handle them outside of secure locations).
Having said that, I think the G-men are going to need a backhoe to recover the classified documents Ronald Reagan lifted.

newspaper reports of covert actions that the government refuses to acknowledge.

The national guardsman, whose name is Jack Teixeira, oversaw a private online group named Thug Shaker Central, where about 20 to 30 people, mostly young men and teenagers, came together over a shared love of guns, racist online memes and video games.

Sure, have to try and hide your agenda, like by altering the numbers to make it look like the Soviets. The WSJ reported that the Discord "room" was filled with racist and anti-Semitic and anti-Ukraine talk/memes.

Of course they did. Lol.
Game rooms must be monitored by the feds !! There are RusSiAnS, rAciStS, aNTi-sEmiTeS and aNTi-UkRAiNe idiots lurking in dark spaces and around street corners everywhere. Tempo's game room is probably overrun with them.
It's a jungle out there.
I wonder if the NYT military writer has been nuanced with his pink slip yet after saying the quiet part out loud.

Pro-Soviet US "blogger" helped spread the Lead Incel's disclosure of the docs.
String her up, along with the Jan 6th insurrectionists, and their enablers, Trump, Miller, Hannity, Tucker Carlson, basically all the traitors who work at Fox News, ONN, Pillow Guy, I can keep going. Maybe it is time to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of faux patriots and tyrants?

On Tuesday, federal prosecutors unveiled four indictments alleging various Kremlin-backed attempts to ingratiate think tank researchers and journalists, create black nationalist movements across the American South, and interfere in the local elections in St. Petersburg, Florida.
The allegations offer a look at the often goofy places where these attempts to stoke divisions and boost conspiracy theories arrived.

Yeah I’m honestly scared of what Putin, Xi, and Jong Un might do before they die. If they were to team up with let’s say, some powers in the Middle East or elsewhere, they could cause some trouble. It appears China and Brazil already signed a contract to discredit and stop using American currency. The ego’s of the three listed leaders above gets me to believe they want to do something BIG before leaving this world…

I saw so much stupidity that I actually became an assistant youth coach a couple of times to at least try and teach stuff like that. That and when you are leading off second with less than 2 outs, if the ball is hit on the ground at or to your left, and the SS is to your right, run to 3B.

My draft was pretty stellar. 1st rounder was ace lefty pitcher. 2nd rounder was cleanup batting catcher. 3rd rounder was the steal of the entire draft SS. 4th rounder was a bust.

Mr. Jobu’s ruminations are so rife with ignorance, erroneous information, and poorly conceived notions of cronyism that I hardly know where to begin. Even disregarding obvious errors like his insistence that matters of racial justice should enter a period of benign neglect, the fallacies of his claims are glaring to those of us who have educated ourselves about the implications of solipsism. First off, it is critical that we protect the interests of the general public against the greed and unreason of lackluster, obdurate evildoers. This needs to be done, not tomorrow, not in a week, not in a month, and not in a year. It needs to be done immediately, especially when one considers that we must go placidly amid the noise and haste. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time. You may be shocked to hear this, but Jobu used to maintain that his activities are on the up-and-up. However, after my last letter so eloquently put a lie to that, Jobu and his patsies have busily if rather quietly gone to work on their palinodes—amending here, canceling there, and generally trying to conceal the fact that the reason that so many well-meaning people fall for Jobu’s prudish, tone-deaf ideals is that Jobu has taken the trouble to articulate plausible, though deeply flawed, answers to the really broad questions of human existence. What is the purpose of life? What is truth? What is good or evil? Jobu readily provides answers to such deep questions in terms of convenient falsehoods such as that criminals are merely social rebels. That lie is a transparent and strained effort to keep us from noticing that just as night follows day, he will get as many people as possible to line up behind the geek-tent barkers at the latest and greatest carnival of ageism in the blink of an eye. What I had wanted for this letter was to write an analysis of Mr. Jobu’s conjectures—not an exhortation or a shrill denunciation but an analysis. I hope I have succeeded at that.

I don’t give a flipping shit what you think about me, Tempo. And I have nothing to apologize for. I live where I choose to live. If you have a problem with that, go fuck yourself.

I grew up in Aurora (very diverse). Lived in Chicago for years. I onced managed a business that probably had over 100 black employees that I worked with daily. And for the record, I’m not the one who chose Itasca. I wanted to remain in the city.
Didn't you live near the Oakdale/Sheffield area?

As they look over the world’s painful panorama of war and terror, some people conclude that it is too late, that no amount of information or activity could possibly point out the glaring contradictions between Mr. Tempo Plus Alts’s idealized view of charlatanism and reality. But those who take that pessimistic view understand neither Tempo nor his current rung on the ladder to total power. One of the first facts we should face is that Tempo’s devotees always tell the same story, the same story that always has the same happy ending, and it’s always some kind of a lie. The real story is that diabolic clodpates are born, not made. That dictum is as unimpeachable as the poeta nascitur, non fit that it echoes and as irreproachable as the brocard that we have a choice between two different visions of our future. Tempo’s vision is disloyal, gin-swilling, and based on the idea that he is the way, the truth, and the light. The other vision is hopeful, generous, and confident in the knowledge that Tempo must have convinced himself that what he’s doing is for a just cause, if for no other reason than because human vanity demands that we justify our actions by covering them with a veneer of goodness. Sure, it’s not easy for Tempo to justify trapping us like flies in a spider’s web of heathenism, but then again, if you don’t think that I cannot too often emphasize the simple fact that his self-righteous, ornery philosophies serve only to enable intellectually lazy aspersers to seek easy answers to the complex problems of the modern world, then you’ve missed the whole point of this letter. Having endured countless hours of listening to Tempo’s pesky, sexist gibber, I can say with confidence that he always cavils at my attempts to challenge poststructuralism and thereby create the possibility of justice and fairness in our society. That’s probably because Tempo’s appalling barbs are a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to their logical extreme, his barbs imply the systematic cultivation of human failure. Your guess is as good as mine as to why he wants to blight our contentment. Maybe it’s because he plans to incite and provoke. If the mass news media were actually in the business of covering news rather than molding public attitudes to take us over the edge of the abyss of priggism, they would unequivocally report that as soon he takes us beyond the point of no return, the next thing we’ll hear him say is, Oops, made a mistake. This is not what I think; this is what I know. I additionally know that Tempo is like a stray pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don’t like; they poo on people they don’t even know. The only real difference between Tempo and a pigeon is that Tempo intends to justify, palliate, or excuse the evils of his heart. That’s why a nation concerned about the economic, public-health, and security consequences of atmospheric pollution, climate change, sea-level rise, and diminishing supplies of fresh water can do all types of things to make an impartial and well-informed evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of Tempo’s prank phone calls. Alas, such efforts will be for naught without universal acknowledgment that Tempo’s temple of larrikinism is a decency-free zone. The malodorous paranoiacs who pray there, singing Tempo’s glory, clearly have no compuction about making Tempo’s offhand remarks a key dynamic in modern fainéantism by viscerally defining pathologicopsychological through the experience of self-satisfied Cæsarism. Finally, in case you missed it, what I’ve really been alluding to in this letter is a queasy combination of revolting incompetence, base insidiousness, statism, and ignorance. All of these characteristics are embodied in Mr. Tempo Plus Alts, and they all make a strong statement about how we must highlight all of the problems with Tempo’s self-deluded, passive-aggressive sallies if we are to seek some structure in which the cacophony introduced by his witticisms might be systematized, reconciled, and made rational.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/conservatives-hail-daniel-penny-as-hero-after-killing-man-on-subway/ar-AA1b98jg
In the nearly two weeks since Daniel Penny was recorded killing Jordan Neely on a New York City subway with a minutes-long chokehold, the 24-year-old Marine Corps veteran has faced calls to be arrested, been denounced as a vigilante by activists and been labeled a “murderer” by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
But in the lead-up to the Manhattan district attorney’s office charging him with second-degree manslaughter, Penny has found a groundswell of financial and online support from high-profile Republicans such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Fox News personalities and conservatives on Elon Musk’s Twitter. Many of them have rallied around Penny and hailed the veteran as a “hero” and “good Samaritan.”

I think your anger may be displaced in this instance since it is the Christian music charts here. Maybe as a "true evangelical" you should be angry that a "non-evangelical" is at the top of the Christian music charts?

Here's really what Trump has wrought...
He's created a condition - along with DeSantis, that half the country is rooting for hurricanes, and half the country is rooting for wildfires.
DeSantis is frankly completely incompetent as a crisis manager, and now we have a scene where people who really want the GOP to finally crater through incompetence are willing to see Florida get completely creamed just to show how bad DeSantis is, in order to get rid of him and end the GOP story. This wasn't caused by DeSantis - this demonizing is all on Trump and his weird "rake the leaves" bs.
Eventually when it happens, the "libs" still send money to charity, but now we've screwed up the Climate so much they can look at it and say "meh - my money is going to Lahaina"

Here's information on the existing transgender restroom use policy from the school district superintendent. Looks like the current policy is under review and the school district is seeking public input.
"Reflecting on the September 5th Board meeting, a policy was introduced aimed at restricting restroom access to be based on an individual's biological sex. This issue has arisen due to instances where transgender students have used bathrooms that align with their gender identity, which, understandably, has raised questions and caused surprise for some. It's important to note that the number of transgender students in our schools is relatively small, for example, approximately 1% of the high school’s total enrollment. To address the needs of transgender students, accommodations have been provided, including access to the nurse's suite bathroom, single-use facilities, and, in recent years, gender identity-aligned gang bathrooms (although, not all transgender students use the gang bathrooms). The accommodations align with the principles outlined in Policy 103."
"During the Business meeting on Monday, September 11, the proposed policy to limit bathroom usage exclusively based on one's biological sex did not gain approval at the Board level. The meeting hosted significant attendance, with numerous members of the public offering their comments. The restroom use issue has sparked diverse opinions, with some advocating for the preservation of Policy 103 and the rights of transgender students to use bathrooms corresponding to their gender identity. Conversely, others argue that the rights of cisgender students are being affected, making them uncomfortable in some cases when using gang bathrooms. Up until the first week of school, there had not been any concerns raised to administration, teachers or coaches by students or parents about restroom use. As a note, the bathrooms in our schools are not designated 'co-ed.' Administration does not permit, nor has it been informed of, boys entering the girl’s room freely or vice versa."
"The discussion surrounding restroom use is scheduled to continue as part of the Policy Committee meeting this month. The goal is to foster civil discourse and explore potential accommodations that can effectively address the needs and concerns of our students while upholding policy and the rights of all. The next Policy Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 19 at 6:00 PM in the High School Library. I am also considering other forums to facilitate ongoing discussions. Stay tuned for opportunities if interested."
"Lastly, I am providing this link for those interested to share comments about restroom use districtwide. To those of you who have already shared thoughts and opinions via email, I thank you."

Imagine being in a jail cell with some badass dude. You ask what he did. He says he threw battery acid in some ho's face. Asks why you're there. You say you took a leak.
It's not about the leak. It's about being on a bike. Cops hate cyclists. There's a road near here with a T intersection, it's a 3 way stop, with a bike lane running along the top of the T. They started running stings to catch cyclists running the stop sign - cyclists tend to roll it because there is no cross traffic to the bike lane. In a car, if you run it, you could collide with a left turning vehicle.
Talking to a friend who got tagged there, he pointed that out and the cop said "You could get hit by a car that overshoots the lane and turns into the bike lane". He then asked the cop "if there is a problem with cars overshooting the lane, why aren't you running a sting and ticketing drivers turning into the bike lane?" Before the cop could even answer, he then said "or ticket that car that just rolled the stop sign?
The cop dryly answered "We are out here today doing enforcement on cyclists, not motor vehicles"
Of course we are all techies, and someone did a deep dive into the vehicle code, and it turns out that the stop line on the pavement was painted just in the primary lane, and stopped at the white line that delineates the bike lane. As such, since the stop line wasn't in the bike lane, the stop sign doesn't apply, and they beat the ticket.
Clearly there are no pressing issues for DPW in the area because within a week, they repainted the line extending into the bike lane.

[Last week, 10 years to the day after a braces-bedecked Simone Biles claimed her first world title at Belgium’s Sportpaleis Antwerpen, the grown-up Mrs. Owens returned to that very arena. After scarcely a year back in the gym and in only her third competition since the Tokyo Olympics, Biles unequivocally dominated the 2023 World Championships. She left the arena on Sunday with her 26th through 30th world medals around her neck, making her the most decorated gymnast of all time, and obliterating any notion that the undisputed greatest athlete to grace the sport is anywhere near done with it.]
But where is she now?

Then 1 issues a clarification, while not under oath, that was supposed to lead us to the belief that she was explaining her responses to Stefanik and issuing an apology for her responses.
She didn't really address the questioning by Stefanik in her response tho.

“Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate Harvard’s rules on bullying and harassment?” she demanded of Claudine Gay, the new president of Harvard University.
“It can be, depending on the context,” Dr. Gay responded.
“What’s the context?” Ms. Stefanik shot back.
“Targeted at an individual,” Dr. Gay said.
“It’s targeted at Jewish students, Jewish individuals,” Ms. Stefanik said.
.......
Calling for the genocide of any group is despicable. I am not sure if it's free speech, but it is not harassment unless it names individuals. Stefanik is just wrong. If some idiot calls for the genocide of old white guys; I can't claim he is bullying and harassing me.
If he singles out Illiniray nichi, that is another bucket of fish.
Maybe calling for genocide should still be prohibited as an incitement to violence? What else?

These university presidents were obviously ill prepared by their attorneys. If they can’t answer a simple softball question from an intellectual lightweight like Stefanik, how can they be expected to lead Ivy League institutions? They should have rightly denounced genocide language directed against Jews (or any other group). Then the hearing could have focused on whether existing policies on student safety are adequate or being enforced. This should be an occasion for reviewing university polices about free speech and its boundaries, not scapegoating university officials who are obviously not personally antisemitic. One problem is that students use slogans like “globalize the intifada” that have been interpreted by some as meaning one thing, while others say it means something else. Now that’s where things get dicey. Jonathan Chait has a more nuanced take on this brouhaha: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/12/college-presidents-antisemitism-campus-free-speech-congress-stefanik.html

I didn’t ignore it. I said “this should be an occasion for reviewing university polices about free speech and its boundaries…” Usually, it takes one high-profile incident to start the ball rolling. Everything is fair game, but this hearing focused primarily on campus antisemitism. If this congressional committee wants to broaden the focus, go for it.

"The presidents’ efforts to deflect every question about genocide of the Jews into a legalistic distinction between speech and conduct may have sounded grating, and Stefanik’s indignant replies may have sounded like moral clarity. But on the whole, they were right to focus on the distinction between speech and conduct, and Stefanik was wrong to sneer at it. A better criticism would be that colleges are failing to protect Jewish students by refusing to enforce rules of conduct. But that is different from, and in some ways the opposite of, the point Stefanik chose to stand on." -- Jonathan Chait

"What Stefanik was demanding was the wholesale ban on rhetoric and ideas that Jews find threatening, regardless of context. A university should protect students from being mobbed or having their classes occupied and disrupted. But should it protect them from an op-ed in the student newspaper calling to globalize the intifada? Or a demonstration in an open space demanding “From the river to the sea”? That would entail wholesale violations of free speech, which, in addition to the moral problem it would create, would likely backfire by making pro-Palestinian activism a kind of forbidden rebellion rather than (as many students currently find it) an irritant." -- Ibid

In the hearings, President Gay actually said, with a straight face, that “we embrace a commitment to free expression even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful.” This is the president whose university mandates all students attend a Title IX training session where they are told that “fatphobia” and “cisheterosexism” are forms of “violence,” and that “using the wrong pronouns” constitutes “abuse.” This is the same president who engineered the ouster of a law professor, Ronald Sullivan, simply because he represented a client, of whom Gay and students (rightly but irrelevantly) disapproved, Harvey Weinstein.
This is the same president who watched a brilliant and popular professor, Carole Hooven, be effectively hounded out of her position after a public shaming campaign by one of her department’s DEI enforcers, and a mob of teaching fellows, because Hooven dared to state on television that biological sex is binary.
Freedom of speech in the Ivy League extends exclusively to the voices of the oppressed; they are also permitted to disrupt classes, deplatform or shout down controversial speakers, hurl obscenities, force members of oppressor groups — i.e. Jewish students and teachers in the latest case — into locked libraries and offices during protests, and blocked from classrooms. Jewish students have even been assaulted — at Harvard, at Columbia, at UMass Amherst, at Tulane. Assaults by woke students used to be rare, such as the 2017 mob at Middlebury that put Allison Stanger in a neck brace — but since 10/7, they’re intensifying.

"There are several underlying causes for the discomfort of the college presidents, not all of which have clear solutions. College campuses have been inundated with pro-Palestinian activism, which sometimes contains a threatening tone to Jewish students. Campuses have also been struggling for a decade or so with left-wing demands to make campuses “safe,” which has entailed cracking down on criticism of the political left.
So what does it mean to make Jewish students feel safe on campus? One way would be to crack down on anti-Israel rhetoric that might make many Jews feel threatened. That would be consistent with the methods universities have sometimes employed to protect other minority groups. But it would also be deeply illiberal."
A more limited and defensible response would be to police conduct. When mobs of students disrupt classes and make it hard for students to walk around campus without being screamed at (or shoved), that creates an intimidating atmosphere." -- ibid

I suppose they justified censoring politically incorrect speech, or words that offended traditionally marginalized groups, as a kind of affirmative action, protecting those who deserved protection.

In the hearings, President Gay actually said, with a straight face, that “we embrace a commitment to free expression even of views that are objectionable, offensive, hateful.” This is the president whose university mandates all students attend a Title IX training session where they are told that “fatphobia” and “cisheterosexism” are forms of “violence,” and that “using the wrong pronouns” constitutes “abuse.”
There is a difference between "Free speech" and Harassment.
"The Israelis, and by extension the jews, are baby killers! Free Palestine" - Free Speech
"You are a dumb fat fuck with a penis that dresses like a woman you queer" - Harrassment
Harvard is a private entity and does not have to offer enrollment or employment to someone who uses free speech in violation with their mission, code of conduct etc... That could be the space we are in here.
They have a legally required duty to protect students and employees from harassment. Sullivan makes a false equivalency.

But the Chait article!
SMDH
Huh? Are you playing stupid? Chait pointed out universities have a problem because they have shielded the left from criticism.
We know that. It is a given been going on for decades. They have been ridiculed and cursed over it.
Does that mean Universities must now shield Israel from criticism and silence Palestinian supporters?
Or does it mean they should allow right wing jackasses to spew hatred and intolerance?

The attack included barbaric atrocities. Anyone who will not call it out for what it was has no credibility.
The 240 people were not hauled away. Trash gets hauled away. These people were kidnapped and many were murdered.

I'm so tired of this sort of nitpicking. "Words matter" but in this case, anyone going through the trouble of reading this article knows exactly what happened.
They killed the babies! NO - THEY THREW THE BABIES IN THE FIRE! AFTER RAPING THEM! In my world, killing the babies meets the bar, the methodology doesn't make it *more* important to respond. Like my gender, my view on responding to terrorism is binary. Terrorist attack? Respond. Done.
I think the most overused word in America these days is "Condemned". "Well, the President seems to have a problem with what happened, but why didn't he CONDEMN what happened!" People fall over each other to win the "biggest language competition" but don't actually work on the problems because they are so busy trying to be the person using the most forceful language, trying to find an even BETTER word to describe how overwrought they are.

No you did not answer it. You claim the phrase purportedly can mean different things. We know for a fact that it is a call for the eradication of Israel and its residents who are not "Palestinians" (because Hamas and others have told us that). If it truly means something else, wouldn't that make it a hypothetical question then? Or are you just full of crap like the educators who testified?
-
Criticizing Israel is warranted and certainly not antisemitic. Seems to be a bunch of momentum around trying to label everything antisemitic in the wake of the mayhem this fall. But it’s still really hard to stomach the state of academia these days. It’s madness.

A hypothetical question would be what if somebody actually called for the genocide of Jews? Would that amount to harassment or bullying?
That depends is a correct answer. If it targets a specific individual or goes beyond speech into action are good answers. All hypotheticals.
Stephanik wasn't talking hypotheticals. We both know that. She and others want any criticism of Israel banned.
I want any criticism of me banned as ageist, how 'bout dem apples? Stop calling for my genocide! Full of crap?

The common denominator in most of what you list here is that there were warning signs that were ignored and the issues continued to grow until they became a crisis. The weird hive mind of academia in 2023 is a threat to the American way of life. I understand that is a feature and not a bug for many of you.
Luckily a lot of these kids are more resilient and smell the BS better than we give them credit for. They are however still indoctrinating a fair amount of impressionable victim status seeking kids into their weird woke cult.

The nuance is that there are definitely a lot of people who revel in criticizing Israel *because they are anti-semitic* - not on the merits of what Israel is doing. Israel invades - criticize. Israel pulls out - criticize.
But there are plenty of criticisms of Israel that - as you note - are warranted. The debate over whether the criticism is warranted is always colored by the participants who will critique just because jews.

So learn how to do that kind of shit yourself. Saves you a lot of money.
Hmmm. I can put brake pads on for the cost of parts, or pay a mechanic for an inflated cost of parts plus his labor. When I can do it just as well if not better because I actually give a shit about something I own.
Hmmm. And you drive an uber for a living. And pay a mechanic. Jesus, Tempo.

I wonder if someone leveled 60% of Berwyn (and counting) if PAMan would think of that as “showing restraint.”

I guess Jobu NEVER goes to Dunkin, McDonalds, Starbucks, or any such establishment. Yay for him. FTR, I don’t frequent Dunkin much anymore, I was killing time waiting for my transmission flush I overpaid for (and should have just done myself). And that I can write off. Except I can’t. Well I could, but then I couldn’t write off mileage which is a far better write off.

So do you maintain that leveling 60% and counting is MUCH more restrained than “leveling the whole place?” Because if not, the quote is entirely accurate.

I don't go to Dunkin or Starbucks for sure. Too fucking expensive, Dunkin donuts taste like shit to me, and I don't actually like Starbucks coffee. I rarely go to McDonald's anymore because the food is shit and also getting way too pricey (unless you use an app, which is bullshit).
Why can't you write off maintenance and mileage? It's all business expenses right? Sorry, I'm not well versed in Uber because, well, its a shit way to make a living. Unless you're doing it part time for beer money.

If you write off expenses, you can’t write off mileage. It’s just the rules.

The money used to be pretty decent, it’s pretty bad now, but until I can figure out who’s going to take physical care of my kid (make him breakfast, get him to and from school, watch him till 5:00-6:00. I’ll stick with it because I need the flexibility with my schedule.

No, it isn't. They told the people to get the fuck out because they were coming in. The point was that is not "genocide" as you claimed. Genocide would he just leveling the place sans a warning to get the fuck out (which they could have done if they wanted to). I know you can be obtuse, but this grand even for you.

Not "we," the Egyptians (and the Israelis). You really do not understand how quotations work.

Of course, the Gazans could just free the hostages, the IDF would go home, and there would be new elections in Israel and Netanyahu would be gone. They don't want that. They'd rather continue to rape women and hold babies hostage.

"The Gazans" don't have the hostages. Hamas is in control, and it's just a massive mess. But yes, Hamas doesn't want Netanyahu gone. As long as Netanyahu is running the show, the chaos continues - and Hamas wants chaos. I don't think the raping and hostaging is for the sake of raping and hostaging, it's because as terrorists, they know that they need to find the bottom of the barrel to keep the chaos raging, and that's the point.
It puts Israel in a no win situation. The stuff on Oct 7 was so atrocious that they have to do whatever they need to do in order to stop more of that. The problem is, that as part of the civilized world, they are "expected" to accomplish that without killing a bunch of random impoverished civilians who happen to live in a terrorist state. All while the terrorists, being clever terrorists, put their weapons and command/control embedded in with the random civilians.
I have plenty of sympathy for the random civilians but fall on the side of Israel pretty much has to deal with Hamas, despite the high prevalence of collateral damage. To me, that's on Hamas. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

Maybe they shouldn't have started wars for the last 75 years they couldn't win. Let's go through the list:
1948 (captured 50% of land alloted to the Palestinians).
1967 (6-Day War: captured Gaza, Sinai, West Bank, and the Golan Heights).
1973 (held onto Golan Heights)
So, the Palestians and their allies attacked and lost land each time. Whose fault is that? Oh, the Israelis? Of course! LOL.

You mean the book that was actually written by Dennis Ross about 20 years ago? What is with 2020? No serious peace talks took place then that I recall. That fucking radical nationalist should have never shot Rabin.
-
No, you are. You seem to think Israel is entitled to whatever they want. They are taking what little Palestine has left.
Where have I called for anyone else, besides you to point out your hypocrisy, to return land?
I have not called for Jobu to return his place in Washington the natives.
-
Mistakes have been made on both sides. No doubt.
-

Again, you cannot recall what you told us about joining the Marines so why would you remember the 2020 Camp David peace conference where Arafat turned down the process that would work to a 2 state solution and then went and started Intifada 2?
Not knowing how to quote someone aside, hard to take you seriously when you don't even know what you are talking about.

Why is it Ok (encouraged even) for Israel to reappropriate Palestinian land, but not Ok that Palestine get back land they have controlled since, if I’m not mistaken, hundreds of years? Israel is the one reclaiming land, not Palestine.
-
Again, you cannot recall what you told us about joining the Marines
You are fucking delusional. It’s not my fault your memory is faulty. You don’t think I remember when I joined the Marines? Go find one time. One…where I said I joined after 9/11. I’d have been like 34 years old. I think the age limit at that time was 33. I know when the fuck I joined the Marines. I joined mid December 1990 and graduated boot camp Friday March 8th 1991. Platoon 3117 Mike Company. The “war” started and ended while I was in boot camp.
-
The day the war started our Senior Drill instructor gathered us together and said “Boys, today our country went to war…and today, I am declaring war on you.” Then he took us to the “classroom” and “bent” us. I remember it like yesterday.
-
OK guys - take your meds

The first Iraq war, for the record. You seem pretty lackluster at best on the period.

The guy gets his panties all ruffled up about being quoted completely 100% accurately, then can’t even hit a 50 mile radius when “quoting” me.
-
Not one time did I say I joined after 9/11. Not one. I know when the fuck I joined, and it wasn’t in my 30s.
-
I joined after my best friend got called up to go to Iraq. I can’t help it Alzheimer’s is setting in on ThePAMan.
-
I did consider going back in after 9/11. I actually emailed a Navy recruiter about joining as an officer, as by this time I had my college degree. I mentioned that I had been discharged medically after 5 years (though I think I may have cleared if tried again). I was discharged for what was then a chronic neck sprain after a car accident in Florida. Some dude was coked up and rammed into us at a very high rate of speed at a stoplight on the highway.
Anyway, I never heard back from the Naval recruiter and I said “fuck it, then.”
-
I was only really interested in going back in as a Naval officer. I’d done enough time in the Marines IMO.
-
I recall what you said. Whether you misspoke, or I recall you mentioning about thinking about going back, is lost to HQ forever.
-
You are either lying or misremembering. I said i joined after my best friend got called up to go to war (the first Iraq War), not 9/11. There’s no way I’d have ever made that mistake or try to tell that lie. Take the L and move on.
-

Because they won it in a defensive war after being attacked? Why would they even think of giving it up without assurances of the right to even exist is not recognized? We saw happened on 10/7. Well, most of us at least recognize what happened that day.

Must be Mandela effect because I seem to remember him joining the Marines after 9/11 too. But given his age (80% catch rate on 50/50 balls in 1985!) the 1990 timeframe makes more sense.

I wish we knew Netanyahu’s end game. Let’s not forget he propped Hamas up to avoid negotiations for a two-state solution because Hamas is even more opposed to that, as much as Bibi's ardent supporters.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
Hamas has to be removed--much as I dislike the way Netanyahu is doing it. Bibi needs to go. And the Palestinians must face reality; there is no way to destroy Israel without destroying themselves as well.
There's no way out but for them to learn to trust each other. Most people on either side aren't evil, and would welcome peace--if they could learn to believe in it.

The goal of the Israeli Trump (the only difference is Netanyahu served as an Israeli commando - he was at Entebbe and his brother was a commando who was shot and killed at Entebbe) is to prevent going to jail (and getting tossed out of office). He's going to drag all of this out as long as he can. Iran just handed him a lifeline. He is going to drag out the response to them until things get hot for him either at home or in Gaza.

Brad Underwood, and more specifically Brett Bielema. It took me forever and a day to realize my error, but when I finally heard the question asked of Brett Bielema I conceded that I was wrong and overreacted in calling him whatever it was I called him. “Classless,” probably. Proper use of quotes there? Probably a couple others, but I can’t remember them right now. I’m wrong on occasion. But I’m not wrong on when I joined the Marines and I’ve never been wrong on that subject. I was there, I lived it.

I will admit not knowing what exactly happened to cause the Reed guy to start shooting at the cops during the traffic stop. But isn't the cops firing over 100 shots at him but hitting him only 13 times a scandal? WTF? Did they go to Star Wars Stormtrooper Shooting School?

God damn. Tempo is harboring some real anger.

Oh, I'm confident we will get answers since the family sued. My issue here is that the cops hit their target less than 13% of the time. Meanwhile who knows who was in the area where the other 87%+ bullets were flying? I'm no marksman, but that percentage does not seem very good for shooters who are cops.

Uh, the guy was not only outside the car when the cops were shooting, but walked around to the back of the car. Did you even watch the video you posted?
Again, this is about the poor aim of the cops in an urban area. They hit the guy 13 times despite shooting over 100 times. That is Stormtrooper type accuracy.

you didn't answer my question
-
Handguns by nature aren’t very accurate outside of several yards, even with a trained stationary shooter and stationary target. Add in the fact there was a moving active shooter, police that were on the run/moving while returning fire, and the intensity of the situation itself, it’s not hard to see why a relatively low percentage hit target. I’d bet the vast majority of the misses are lodged in the car. There didn’t seem to be much else going on in the background as far as potential collateral damage. The misses fired from handguns pointed at the angle the cops would have been shooting at would have likely impacted the ground within 50’ if I had to guess. The ones that didn’t hit the assailant or the car.
-

Which one? You asked two, not that they are relevant to a non-cop who hasn't been trained to be a cop:
Ever shot a pistol before? Yes.
Ever shoot one while someone is shooting you from behind tinted windows? No. But the guy was outside of the car when shot 13 out of over 100 attempts.
Chump edit to my completely inartful response.

Well, a) there are buildings in the background, b) the dude did not have a gun on him outside the car (so he was not an "active" shooter outside the car, and c) he moved from the side of the car to the back of the car. I get shooting to make sure the guy is dead when you think he has a gun and had already shot a cop. I do not get Danja's free shot percentage in 2022-2023 being greater than their shooting percentage (especially when there were all the buildings in the background).

Apparently Reed had been shot previously. He underwent extensive rehab and suffered from PTSD. This might explain his reaction to the traffic stop. That, and the 5 officer tactical unit was plain clothes and used unmarked vehicle. He was likely frightened and confused.
He was also facing felony gun charges from an incident last summer. That might go the real reason for the aggressive traffic stop? Or not?

Where are they now implies they are washed up never to return. I can’t recall a single “where are they now” story returning to the top of their profession.

Geno isn’t the worst example; but no one had to wonder “where are they now?” about anyone you named.
Real examples would include: Jean Claude Van Damme, Ickey Woods, and the kid from Two and a Half Men.

LOL. Elvis was hiding in Graceland before the '68 Comeback Special!
Geno Smith and Kurt Warner were on the scrap heap. Dirk Diggler was trying to figure out how to get cash to fix his car before his comeback.
She was in the same boat, if not more so. No one knew where she was after she quit on her teammates and country.

The classified documents strewn all over the floor at Mar a Lago by the Trumpers were not classified documents.
The they're not really classified documents strewn all over the floor at Mar a Lago by the Trumpers were not tossed on the floor by the Trumpers.

It's pretty much in the trial documents with some of it in a footnote. Probably hoping nobody would read it.
A defendant caught it and Smith acknowledged the inconsistency from their previous statements to the court.
And this case is now on an indefinite hold. Lol
Where is your property ?

I’d e more sympathetic to this delay if Judge Cannon had ruled on any of the outstanding issues she mentions. But it seems like she’s not doing the work or not experienced enough to do it in a timely fashion.
Wondering if anyone has bought her an RV in recent months.......

The DoJ/FBI got involved in Russiagate to try to stop him from winning in 2016. They got involved in 2020 and it worked out for them. And for 2024 it appears as tho they've got a shoddy case with tainted evidence.

Too bad there were/are issues with Obama's documents. Or Bill Clinton's. Or Hillary's. Or ......

If you're referring to the Manhattan case with the prime witnesses being a porn star who can't get her stories straight and a convicted perjurer, the FEC declined to pursue. Then the previous local DA declined to pursue, then Bragg declined to pursue and then Bragg changed his mind or someone changed his mind for him to get all 4 cases going for the 2024 election.
The convicted perjurer hasn't yet been put under oath ;D ;D in this trial.

Being a dirtbag isn't illegal.
In the event it's not a hung jury the judge will get his conviction and sentencing will be set for Fri before election Tuesday. To avoid getting slapped down on appeal, Merchan will grant a motion for a new trial before Friday based on any number of reasons.
The hoped for boxes will get checked.

If I do a bad job, I can get fired, but in a well run company, it's more that the company may struggle and we make less money, so there is less compensation, stock doesn't go up, maybe even layoffs. Congress does in theory have the same incentive, but it's much further removed from the rank and file congressperson. Especially since they can pass laws that might be bad for the country as a *whole*, but their own district does better at a much greater expense to other districts. It's an institution that would function best with altruists, but requires narcissism in order to get the job.

Same for Papa Dels. There are 3-4 mini chains around here with very decent pizza, one named "Blue Line Pizza" after the L train because the guy used to live near the blue line. Very good, I think better than Giordanos or Malnatis, frankly. But Papa Dels tops them all in my book.

A Trump appointed Judge has moved the tax case to Sept, in part to allow the defense to line up 30-40 expert witnesses.
I suppose the judge could severely limit their testimony, similar to Bragg in NY, to the point that there is no point to testify.
And whistleblower documents alledge that in August of 2021 the CIA prevented any investigation by IRS agents investigating Hunter's tax situation of the guy who later paid Hunter's tax liability.

Tax years 2014 and 2015, the Burisma years, were allowed to expire. Imagine that.
Yet, from what I have read, the tax liability was large enough that everyone with that liability would be prosecuted.

Once more with feelings. Rich people do not get prosecuted unless they piss off some other rich person. Why are you even remotely shocked by this? I guess you're not, you're just parroting the outrage machine per usual
There may be two political parties but the real split is "Rich vs Poor" and that's non-partisan.

Pretty sure there is, inexplicably, a zombie La Bamba off Mattis with a zombie Garcia’s in the building right next to it. It’s been a few years since I’ve been to either of them but last I went they still replicated the experience pretty well. No clue how the really busy locations on campus closed years ago and these ones on the edge of town that are never busy remain open. My UIUC girlfriend worked at the Garcia’s on Green for a couple of years, the owners were such creeps. Got a lot of free pizza out of the deal though.
I have probably said it many times across the iterations of HQ, but a lot of people say La Bamba was only good if you were drunk. Not true. It’s really good sober, even in my early 40s. There is still one in Louisville and I have DoorDashed it every time I’ve stayed there for work the last couple of years.
My old college hack was to get a combination of asada and pastor, they would give you twice the meat without up-charging for double meat, and I still do it because it’s 🔥🔥🔥. And yes their salsa roja (chile de arbol as God intended) is amazing.

There are two two Political Parties consisting of competing elites.
Oversimplified:

There's evasion, false filings and failure to file but his lawyer doesn't want any salacious material, like whether or not Hunter wore silk pajamas or wore a condom, presented because it may prejudice the jury.
So I assume it's a jury trial.
The experts for the defense would probably testify to what the judge allows. That may be more than Merchan allowed with respect to the former FEC commissioner who was so limited it wasn't worth appearing.

**Biden is standing trial in a separate case on gun charges in Delaware, which is scheduled to begin June 3.
The attorney, Abbe Lowell, said he fears Biden's gun case may go longer than previously expected, giving him little to no time to transition to the tax case. “There’s too much to do,” he argued.**

I’m having trouble reconciling the people who want to champion women’s sports but then also think it’s ok for biological males to compete against those same women. Are women no longer a protected class? Why do we even have Title IX? Are we really celebrating the athletic achievements of women if we let men compete against them?

It's actually quite reasonable and understandable for the judge to address pre-trial motions and move the tax trial date.
And Cannon ought to get moving while Trump can't attend a SCOTUS hearing regarding the case in DC. because he's sitting in NYC courtroom while his lawyers also are involved in Ga.

“The primary crime that we have alleged is New York state election law section 17-152,” Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass told New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan during Trump’s trial on April 23. “There is conspiracy language in the statute. The entire case is predicated on the idea that there was a conspiracy to influence the election in 2016.”
"In legal filings last year, Bragg’s team members cited statute 17-152 as one of three possible underlying crimes to help make their case. The others they cited were that Trump sought to skirt New York tax laws and that he violated federal campaign finance regulations.'
"Bragg’s team does not have to prove Trump violated the statute but merely demonstrate that he was falsifying internal Trump Organization records as part of a broader scheme to improperly influence the 2016 election.''

There are reasons that the FEC the SDNY and Bragg himself chose originally not to pursue.
FEC: dropped it over objections of Democratic members.
In December 2020, the F.E.C. issued an internal report from its Office of General Counsel on how to proceed in its review. The office said it had found “reason to believe” violations of campaign finance law were made “knowingly and willfully” by the Trump campaign.
But the election commission — split evenly between three Republicans and three Democratic-aligned commissioners — declined to proceed in a closed-door meeting in February. Two Republican commissioners voted to dismiss the case while two Democratic commissioners voted to move forward. There was one absence and one Republican recusal.
SDNY: political interference
What they actually found was that Cohen acted at Trump’s direction and to Trump’s benefit. Why didn’t prosecutors pursue the matter further? According to Geoffrey Berman — the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, who wrote a book about his experiences — it’s because there was political interference from other Trump appointees who ordered prosecutors to end their investigation.
Bragg: It appears he proceeded with caution.
For a time, their efforts were haphazard as they examined a wide range of Mr. Trump’s business practices, including whether he had lied about his net worth, which was the focus of the investigation when Mr. Bragg had declined to seek an indictment. But by July, Mr. Bragg had decided to assign several additional prosecutors to pursue one particular strand that struck him as promising: a hush-money payment made on Mr. Trump’s behalf to a porn star during the final days of the 2016 presidential campaign.

A local DA is injecting his interpretations into federal election law and federal campaign finance law in front of a local judge who will set precedent with respect to federal election and campaign finance law while limiting what a former FEC commissioner may offer in expert testimony with respect to federal campaign law.
If Trump wasn't running for President and the entire scenario played out the same, it would be an NDA with no charges. If he's running for President and bills as a campaign expense, some local DA can charge in front of a local judge saying the expired misdemeanors were part of a conspiracy to violate federal campaign law.

You keep going back to the allegations.
In any similar situation, how would anyone not running for political office have categorized the expense ?
If Trump had categorized the NDA as a campaign expense would he have violated Federal campaign law ?
If, as alleged, that Bragg had knowledge of the theft of tens of thousands of dollars by the state's star witness from the Trump organization and did not inform the grand jury would that be prejudicial ?
This case is nothing more than a local DA attempting to make good on his campaign promises to go after a former President. Bragg's case is, or should be, more on trial than Trump's categorization of the expense as it not being a campaign expenditure.
"“I’ve never heard of it actually being used, and I’ve practiced election law for 53 years,” Brooklyn attorney and former Democratic NY state Sen. Martin Connor said of section 17-152."

Huh? Wft are you even talking about? Trump probably did violate federal election laws, but Bragg backed off due to to jurisdictional questions.
The crime he committed was concealing the true nature of the payment to SD by falsifying 34 bidness records.
It rises to a felony because it was related to the election conspiracy under NY law.
Not something that is going to happens a lot.
Trump was covertly using his own dime to fund “catch and kill” negative stories scheme. SD is part of that.
Why don't you read what Bragg has to say?

The distinction is whether or not the records are legal expenses or campaign expenses. Bragg must be saying that they are campaign expenses. There are charges for each transaction. Each invoice, each check etc are being treated as a separate felony.
The FEC would have jurisdiction over federal campaign expenses.
It's quite possible that the defense still has no idea what their closing arguments need to address on Tues. It was falsely assumed that the judge would give the prosecution and the defense the information they need to prepare closing arguments Thursday afternoon or Friday morning.
The assumption is that it's legal expenses vs campaign expenses unless Bragg comes up with a curveball or hard slider. The defense doesn't know what to expect on Tues so it's going to be seat of the pants closing arguments.
And the additional prosecutors that Bragg "hired" ?
Michael Colangelo stepped down from his #3 position at the DOJ to take a job assisting the local prosecuting DA.

Sorry, but that is just plain wrong. Trump falsified business records, 34 of them, to conceal the payment to Daniels. Had he not falsified the records, the payment might have been legal.
Now, was that just a misdemeanor that has passed the statute of limitations?
It depends. Trump faked the records and concealed the payment for a reason. It was part of an election related conspiracy. That makes falsifying business records a felony in NY.
This has nothing to do with Trump's violation of Federal Election Laws.
Bragg floated including the latter, but there is the jurisdictional issue and he doesn't need it. The NY conspiracy law is enough.

Thanks for clearing things up about the first felony trial of a former President in our nation's history that will go to a jury of peers from a jury pool that voted 85%+ for the opposition candidate.
Bragg's team only has to prove that it was a conspiracy. But if you don't agree with that, how about a tax charge ? And if neither of those fly, how about a federal election campaign finance violation but that's a little iffy.

A candidate paying people off to kill stories that hurt his chances of winning seems like it should be illegal. The purpose of NDAs is supposed to be things like protecting trade secrets. Not paying off witnesses to cover up personal indiscretions.
Then a cover up to cover up the cover up, by falsifying business records.
From what I can gather, Trump's defense will probably claim the deal with Stormy was arranged by his lawyer, what the prosecution calls a conspiracy was simply a political campaign, and any mistaken business records are moot due to SoL

He ended up being acquitted on one count and the other counts resulted in a hung jury and were dropped. Edwards' payments occured before and after his candidacy ended.

"The order comes as Cannon has come under fire for her handling of the case, according to the CNBC report, which cited a recent "Justice Matters" podcast by former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner that accused the Florida judge of grinding the case to a halt.

Since you missed out on Kirschner's the YouTube step by step video on filing of a complaint, do you have any idea how the Florida Bar might view a lawyer falsely accusing a U.S. District Court judge in a Florida court case of misconduct ?
;D
"As an official arm of the Florida Supreme Court, The Florida Bar’s Division of Lawyer Regulation protects the public by providing a means to address lawyer misconduct. The Division accepts complaints against lawyers, investigates those complaints, and prosecutes lawyers who engage in unethical conduct."
https://www.floridabar.org/public/acap/
From the Florida Court Rules .....
"Rule 4-8.2 - JUDICIAL AND LEGAL OFFICIALS
(a) Impugning Qualifications and Integrity of Judges or Other Officers. A lawyer shall not make a statement that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to its truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge, mediator, arbitrator, adjudicatory officer, public legal officer, juror or member of the venire, or candidate for election or appointment to judicial or legal office."

That’s not exactly what happened. And I don’t think leading comments (from another officer) to a man who is clearly confused, shocked, and not used to being in handcuffs would hold up in court, especially with little to no evidence the police report is accurate.
-
I’m guessing 99% of the world would have been conciliatory in that situation, especially when being dictated to by a police officer. Scheffler was merely trying to show respect for law enforcement in a situation in which he was confused and scared, it was not an admission of direct guilt. You should know this. No way an “admission” that weak holds up in court without more evidence.
-
Scheffler would have to be cross-examined to get the full context of what was meant in the back of the police car. Even a novice like me know that.
-
Scheffler was told by the other police officer that “he should have stopped.” What do you expect Scheffler to say? “Nah, man I was doing my own thing.” You know that conversation is never going down like that.

So with statements like this, you’ve basically admitted 40x that your problem with Scheffler is that he’s a professed Christian (and as a Texan a ‘possible’ Trump supporter). It’s obvious you’re not a prosecutor. This case wouldn’t have lasted two minutes if you were.

Outside of professing his faith he’s done no “Bible Thumping,” that I’m aware of. Bible thumping means trying to impose your religion on others. He’s never done that that I’m aware of. He’s also never spoken about Trump that I’m aware of. And as a super avid PGA Tour consumer, I’d probably know. I bet the cop is a bigger Bible Thumping Trumper than Scheffler is. I’d almost guarantee it.

T minus 2 days until I arrive at the Mother Ship in Champaign
Pretty damn excited even though I'll feel pretty old when pretty much nothing from my days at UIUC still exists. I don't even think Everett Lab is the Electrical Engineering building anymore.
If I get this straight, La Bamba, Papa Dels, and Garcia's still exist in some form but not on campus? Murphy's is there but much expanded and cleaned up. Kams was shut down and may have moved (it will only be the same if they moved the disgusting bathrooms - but I hated that place anyway).
Seems Merry-Ann's and Custard Cup still exist. The ultimate would be if Haystacks was still there (wasn't called Haystacks, that was just the thing we ordered, can't remember the actual name of the late night diner that was out near the mall).

Something we could all learn from....
Under the new dispensation, a refusal to give into this kind of smug rage has—as I realized a couple of months ago, when I interviewed Daryl Davis—come to feel strangely old-fashioned, and perhaps even a little counter-cultural.
Davis is a black musician who made his name as a versatile piano player, as comfortable playing jazz and boogie-woogie as country music. The true passion of his life, however, consists in his political work. After a patron at an all-white bar in which Davis was performing revealed to him that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, they struck up an unlikely friendship, and Davis set out to interview other members of the organization. Over the following years, Davis inspired dozens of white supremacists to leave the movement. He is now the proud owner of 25 KKK robes, all of them given to him by former members of the organization as a sign of their respect.
A key reason for his success, Davis told me when I interviewed him for my podcast, is that he insisted on treating the racists he encountered as equals—nothing less and nothing more. When he first met them, he would shake their hand and look them in the eye. Then he would ask them, with full sincerity, how, never having met him before, merely on the basis of the color of his skin, they could hate him.
There is a podcast with the guy telling his story.

I started hearing this in 2006 and 2008, where people in the cities don’t know who we are — “We’re real American.”
And I’m like, “What are you talking about?” I never saw it that way. And now it’s just something like this, “You can’t go to Minneapolis.” It’s, “You can’t do this.” Well, the fact of the matter is, when you look at it, you have more population, you have more of these things happening. And there was this desire to just make these undesirable places.
They do it to San Francisco. And just to be candid, last week was my first time in San Francisco, and there I am driving around, and I’m like a kid again. I’m like, “America is so awesome. San Francisco is just the greatest.” And that’s the way people would feel. Go out to the boundary waters of Minnesota. Go to Northern Minnesota and look where the mining has happened for a hundred years. These were the beauty of America. And they’ve demonized these places.

Did he sell his guns and stop hunting? He's shot a gun infinitely more times than Trump and Vance combined. Vance was in the military - in "Public relations". "Walz specialized in heavy artillery and had proficiency ribbons in sharpshooting and hand grenades." (NYT)

Income should be taxed. People with the same amount of income not coming from tips, as a tipped worker, should not be taxed more.
If you think tipped workers are taxed too high, lower the tax rate for anyone in that income range.

While generally I agree that if a law is stupid, and people don't follow said law because it's stupid, we are better off just getting rid of the law, among other things so that the Police can't decide to selectively enforce it just to harass people....
Eliminating taxes on tips because people are evading taxes on tips is a pretty dumb take.

The propaganda push, which researchers attributed to a prolific influence network known as Spamouflage that has been previously linked to the Chinese government, has sought to undermine confidence in U.S. elections, a new report said. The push has been somewhat agnostic on the candidates themselves, targeting former President Donald Trump and both Democratic presidential nominees, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden before he exited the race.

It will be interesting to see the approach Harris takes. In a purely fact based debate, she wins easily. However, the maga world is based on alternative facts. If she gets personal and provokes Trump; then how does the alphabet media react?
Will Trump stick to inflation and immigration? Or will he go with the weird personal attacks?

That operation is really freaking insane. It's so wild I keep trying to figure out what exactly could have happened, and how it could have been pulled off.
It has me questioning a lot of things - generally I laugh at people who talk about "The Deep State" and all the wacko things they think "The Deep State" could do. I fall back on "The things you think the Deep State is doing, most of the time aren't physically possible, and even if they were, would require so many people to be in on it that it could never be hidden. The Moon Landing was faked? There were tens of thousands of people working on that project - no way they could keep a faking from leaking"
Yet somehow what, the Israelis managed to get explosives into a bunch of pagers being sold by presumably a private company, sold to Hezbollah, with an electronic trigger, and set them all off, without this operation being compromised? Insane! Almost as insane as them being able to do that but not prevent Oct 7....

Don't be surprised what paying someone along the supply chain to let them have 1 day with the stuff can do.
The reports are that they moved now as there were signals that the terrorists were starting to have issues with their pagers and would figure it out pretty quickly.

If they cut the size by 2/3, I'd end up buying 2 glasses instead of one and drink 1/3 more beer.
Frankly if there's an alcohol problem with beer these days, it's that the newer beers have substantially higher alcohol percentage.
Back in the day I might have said that's a good thing, but they are so tasty I'd prefer to be able to drink more total quantity for my taste buds without getting the "Hazies" the next morning.

lol pretty retarded take
there's a place I go to once in a while called beernv, they have about 60 beers on tap and you can order a 4oz, 8oz or 16oz of anything, including the crazy 15% ABV beers
I usually order a small if its something strong, one those generally aren't "drinking" beers where you can have a bunch and two, a smaller glass keeps it cold the whole time, and well a 4oz is like $2-3 so its easy to spend very little and get a buzz there lol
and yeah I know english beers are different and don't taste as bad warm but still, this is pretty dumb
-
I just get an ice cold Bud Light when I'm out, and buy a 30 rack of Busch Latte on occasion for the ol beer fridge. Cheap and thirst quenching.

I'll say this - this bullshit would never play in Nevada because if you like to tip back a pint, Nevada is pretty much paradise.
I had a phase - before the prevalence of all thes 16 ounce four packs in brightly colored packaging - where I declared I would only drink beer I could get on tap in growlers. Only to find out California had this bullshit law that places that sell beer in growlers could only refill their own glassware. This led me to having like 7 different growlers and I always had to have the right one.
Meanwhile, in Tahoe (NV side), Dart Liquors has a taproom in the back. You can buy a pint and drink it on premises - in the liquor store - and you can fill growlers, doesn't matter whose growler. And they had Pliny, Racer 5, and Icky on tap. Growlers are like $8 for the fill, maybe $10 for Pliny.
Sadly though the Lakeside Casino next door to Dart has closed - that place had Happy Hour from 2-6 and 10 PM-4 AM, right before COVID it was $2 pints, they had Sculpin, Fresh Squeezed, Icky.

haha yeah, many ways to get drunk in Nevada that's for sure, I don't partake much anymore though as high altitude + dryness = horrible hangover most of the time

So, not to totally change the subject again, but I've noticed some weird shit about Colorado and altitude. At least I think it was altitude...
My daughter was in grad school in Denver, at CU med school, and occasionally we visited. She actually had a great view of the mountains, and we just all around had a great time when we went out to visit. It's so fucking awesome out there. That's the one thing I miss about my time in Wyoming when I was in the service, but I digress....
Anyway, I went to microwave some leftover fried chicken for lunch one day. Pulled it straight out of the fridge, onto a plate, into the microwave. Put it on for a minute. 60 seconds.
When I pulled it out, after one fucking minute, it was like lava. So fucking hot I couldn't touch it. It took forever for it to cool down enough where I could actually eat it. I have never experienced anything like that.
Was it altitude, or did she have a nuclear reactor for a microwave?

Anyway, I went to microwave some leftover fried chicken for lunch one day. Pulled it straight out of the fridge, onto a plate, into the microwave. Put it on for a minute. 60 seconds.
When I pulled it out, after one fucking minute, it was like lava. So fucking hot I couldn't touch it. It took forever for it to cool down enough where I could actually eat it. I have never experienced anything like that.
Was it altitude, or did she have a nuclear reactor for a microwave?
Water boils at a lower temperature at higher attitudes so it takes things longer to cook that rely on that (like pasta)
Microwaves vibrate water molecules to generate heat and yeah i dont fucking know but it sounds like nuclear reactor. Or you hit 10 minutes instead of one minute or something lol

I agree, the nuclear option. Hopefully, it didn't come from the same manufacturer as those Lebanese pagers.

Pretty on brand for a "Conservative" in this day and age to be questioned about his misappropriation of Welfare money and his response is "I have parkinsons feel bad for me". Ranks up there with recent appearances by Cotton and Vance.

Bullshit. They do not want to do anything about the climate changing so hurricanes are now more intense and move slower. Not my fault that Red States love to build along hurricane alley. Pay for that yourself. Plus, you owe for that socialist Tennessee Valley Authority providing you "nouveau hillbillies" power.

There is one major difference between fires and hurricanes.
If the forest burns, there is nothing left to burn. There's a hell of a lot of water in the ocean for the next hurricane.
There is a pretty much 50/50 prediction that a low in the Gulf is gonna hit Florida again next week.
(to be honest, the grasses in the forest actually do regrow annually and provide most of the fuel, and a lot of trees don't die in the fires. Fires in burn scars are a thing)

No need for nukes. Ian, Idalia, Debbie, and Helene got it covered.
It's pretty sad, and getting very bad. While Nero DeSantis just plays his fiddle. Well, actually he's not causing it, he can't do anything about it, his predecessors for the last 30 years did the deed.

Our foreign aid is going to be well spent when the Israelis bomb the fuck out of those American hostage taken Iranians.

Now they are going to blow up some mullahs like we should have done fucking 43 years ago....

We were down here actually visiting family when that hit. We got back home to Illinois and the whole top half of 300 year old oak tree was on top of our living room. One of the limbs went through the roof, the ceiling, and there was about 4’ sticking through right above the couch. Neighbors lost outbuildings so we were seeing debris everywhere in fields as we got closer to home that night. Pulled in and it mostly looked fine. Didn’t see the tree on the house in the shadows until we were walking up the sidewalk. The 84x48’ tool shed didn’t have north sliding doors left on it either but didn’t notice that until the next day.

Yeah, it was crazy? Do you know what saved the most lives in Washington that day?
Christianity. It was a Sunday morning, and people were in churches that were built like brick shithouses, as opposed to the McMansions that were blown away by the tornado.

Judge Judy is definitely going to this Wendy's in Carbondale....
The EEOC filed:
• EEOC v. Starboard Group, Inc., d/b/a Wendy’s, and Starboard with Cheese LLC, Case 3:24-cv-02260 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. In its lawsuit, the agency charged that the Wendy’s Carbondale, Illinois location subjected a class of transgender employees to pervasive sexual harassment including repeatedly subjecting the transgender employees to misgendering, graphic sexual comments, unequal access to bathrooms, intrusive questions, and degrading conduct based on gender identity. Employees said supervisors inquired about their genitalia and forbade them from using restrooms consistent with their gender identity, co-workers referred to them as “it” and often misgendered them even after being corrected. The conduct altered the terms or conditions of employment and Wendy’s terminated one member of the class and retaliated against the others when it reduced their hours for opposing the harassment. The company also refused to update company records to reflect legal name changes.
“Title VII forbids discrimination based on sex,” said Greg Gochanour, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Chicago District Office. “Courts have made clear that transgender status falls under the protections of Title VII, and employers have an obligation to ensure that transgender employees are not subjected to harassing conduct.”
Amrith Aakre, District Director of the EEOC’s Chicago office, said, “For many racial and ethnic groups there are certain words that are inherently hurtful and offensive. Similarly, for transgender individuals, being intentionally addressed with the wrong pronoun or being called by a former name is similarly offensive. Just as employers should not tolerate the use of racial slurs in the workplace, they must also prohibit misgendering and “deadnaming” their transgender employees.”

Yeah that’s a whole other level of nuts down there. I do miss having a real winter sometimes. We had one morning all last winter there was enough snow to sled and that was iffy.

Yeah, there's Illinois, then there's Carbondale. It's real fucked up down there.
My wife's great grandma was originally from Du Quoin. When she died, we had to haul our asses down there for the funeral, and it was quite the trip.
She was going to be the last person to be buried in the family plot. Said plot was in the middle of nowhere basically, on a property that's hard to get to.
Well, we're all there, and we're paying our last respects and all that bullshit, and the hearse goes out to take her to the plot. Of course it had rained, and the fucking hearse got stuck. So what happens next?
You guessed it. A Cat front end loader with chains. Load the casket into the bucket, chain it in, and drive her out. All of the guests walk out behind this thing trying not to ruin dress clothes. It was absolutely the most fucked up thing I've ever seen, and I've seen some fucked up shit.

Oh, it still is. Healdsburg adds fluoride to its water, and every couple of years the tin foil crew gets a ballot measure to remove the fluoride.
We have a pretty decent sized lower income population, that can't really get a lot of dental care, often happening when dentists do big sessions at a high school gym or something. Dentists from around the county will do a kids dental drive at a rotating set of towns. They are very clear in saying that the kids in Healdsburg have much less decay than the towns that don't fluoridate.
It's less obvious in places where most people have money and can send their kids to the dentist, make sure they have brushes and toothpaste, put capping material on the pockets of molars, etc...

I think the LGBTQ community is learning that there is an insincere nature to Fortune 500 support for Pride Month, especially an auto manufacturer. I saw this with corporate sponsorship of Earth Day events in the early 90s. Toyota’s decision to "wave the white flag" will be a good thing in the long run. LGBTQ groups are much better off seeking support for their events and programs from businesses, institutions and individuals at the local level.

The whole woke wave has crested and is crashing. Companies have realized that publicly supporting polarizing groups doesn’t offer any value to their organizations. It’s like sports franchises/programs that hire a mediocre minority coach just to check a box. But if you want to act like the LGBTQ groups are the ones who are distancing themselves, go right ahead.

I don’t really care who is naked. My problem is that these things are often billed as some kind of family event and people have their kids there seeing naked freaks. I have alum over here telling me I’m triggered because they’re clean and well dressed. Well actually it’s the exact opposite of that. I’m well dressed and clean, so I was triggered by how sleazy it all was. And that people had their kids out there watching it like it was a 4th of a July parade. IDGAF if people want to do shit like this or Mardi Gras or whatever, but let’s call it what it is—a hedonistic sexual display masquerading as some kind of “pride” celebration.

In New York, there are several exceptions -- participating in a play, an exhibition, or some kind of protest.
They get a permit for an artistic exhibition, it is legal as long as there is no lewd or overt sexual conduct.
I would not bring children.
If parents want bring their own children, how is it any of my business or your business?
Some apparently have family friendly sections. If it's me; I would want to know how they define family friendly.

People in the US have to be 18 to have access to nude material but if parents want to get their kids involved in public nude painting or watching some Kansas City faggot dancing around in nothing but a bedazzled tube sock, then have at it I guess.

Can you point me to that law? What I am reading is that it is illegal to make pornographic material available to minors via mail, Internet, etc.
The definition of minor varies with the statute -- 16, 17, or 18.
For minors there's a different test than for adults: "The standard of what is harmful to minors may differ from the standard applied to adults. Harmful materials for minors include any communication consisting of nudity, sex or excretion that (i) appeals to the prurient interest of minors, (ii) is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community with respect to what is suitable material for minors, (iii) and lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors."

The whole woke wave has crested and is crashing. Companies have realized that publicly supporting polarizing groups doesn’t offer any value to their organizations. It’s like sports franchises/programs that hire a mediocre minority coach just to check a box. But if you want to act like the LGBTQ groups are the ones who are distancing themselves, go right ahead.

-
Shouldn’t the Nirvana album be child porn?!
Probably not.
"... Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor (someone under 18 years of age). ...
... the legal definition of sexually explicit conduct does not require that an image depict a child engaging in sexual activity. A picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive. Additionally, the age of consent for sexual activity in a given state is irrelevant; any depiction of a minor under 18 years of age engaging in sexually explicit conduct is illegal. https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-child-pornography

I don’t really care who is naked. My problem is that these things are often billed as some kind of family event and people have their kids there seeing naked freaks. I have alum over here telling me I’m triggered because they’re clean and well dressed. Well actually it’s the exact opposite of that. I’m well dressed and clean, so I was triggered by how sleazy it all was. And that people had their kids out there watching it like it was a 4th of a July parade. IDGAF if people want to do shit like this or Mardi Gras or whatever, but let’s call it what it is—a hedonistic sexual display masquerading as some kind of “pride” celebration.

Odd because I never said or implied seeking equality is polarizing. I said the group itself is polarizing, which isn’t arguable. Most people don’t even care about the gay stuff, but the insane gender ideology stuff is where a lot of people have drawn the line. Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder and should be treated as such, not celebrated as some inspirational bravery. They 100% should have equality.

Gender Dysphoria might be a disorder, but the treatment for adults is what? Does making them cisgender work?
It looks like it's unknown if it is a biological or mental disorder. Evidence points to the former, that gender identity forms in the womb.
Gender Dysphoria in children is evidently separate issue and there is disagreement about treatment.
That's based on what I am reading.
Edit: cross dressing is diverse gender expression, not considered a disorder.
Feeling like a woman trapped in male body and being okay with it is diverse gender identity, not considered a disorder.

This is complicated as fuck. Gender expression, gender identity, and gender dysphoria are all different things. Having diverse gender expression or identity aren't considered disorders.
Gender dysphoria is a disorder, likely biological.
What you describe sounds like diverse gender expression. Kind of weird, but not a mental disorder.

During the 1950s and 60s girls who dressed or acted like boys and liked to play sports were accepted and called tomboys.
Boys who acted girlish were made fun of and called sissies.
It was normal for two girls, a boy and a girl, or an older and younger boy to hold hands. It was inappropriate for two boys of the same approximate age to hold hands.
Girls would dance with you each either. Guys would never do that.

I don’t know if this is really that accurate. I’ve read a lot of mid century Beat literature and the gays kind of did their thing and were left alone. There were cases of latent “straight” men bullying them but it wasn’t really the norm. Obviously the behavior was more taboo then than it is now.

I'm afraid beat generation literature doesn't even begin to tell the whole story. Being gay in the 50s/early 60s was a pretty unpleasant experience for the most part.
Gays faced physical assault, verbal attacks, family rejection, loss of employment, imprisonment and even involuntary psychiatric hospitalization.
This period was known as the "passing" where gays had to pass themselves off as something else in order to keep a job or secure a roof over their heads.

Citing super extreme examples isn’t exactly dispelling the notion that they were left alone for the most part. Society at large in the US hasn’t ever really harbored the hatred for gay people that we are led to believe. Mostly religious zealots and/or latent homos furious at their own attraction to men have done the vast majority of the heinous stuff talked about here and elsewhere. There have generally always been places in the US where gay communities were accepted and thrived.

The most notable gay community in the US is the Castro District in San Francisco. The openly gay SF city Supervisor representing that area was shot at point blank range, as noted upthread.
The Stonewall riots, also known as the Stonewall uprising, Stonewall rebellion, Stonewall revolution,[3] or simply Stonewall, were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. Although the demonstrations were not the first time American homosexuals fought back against government-sponsored persecution of sexual minorities, the Stonewall riots marked a new beginning for the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.
"Except for Illinois, which decriminalized sodomy in 1961, homosexual acts, even between consenting adults acting in private homes, were a criminal offense in every U.S. state at the time the Stonewall riots occurred: "An adult convicted of the crime of having sex with another consenting adult in the privacy of his or her home could get anywhere from a light fine to five, ten, or twenty years—or even life—in prison. In 1971, twenty states had 'sex psychopath' laws that permitted the detaining of homosexuals for that reason alone. In Pennsylvania and California sex offenders could be committed to a psychiatric institution for life, and [in] seven states they could be castrated." (Carter, p. 15) Castration, emetics, hypnosis, electroshock therapy and lobotomies were used by psychiatrists to attempt to cure homosexuals through the 1950s and 1960s.(Katz, pp. 181–197.)(Adam, p. 60.)"

I guess those beat generation authors forgot to tell you about the "witch hunts" for gay men and the hate-based rhetoric that equated consensual adult sex with child molestation in the 50s. Many U.S. cities formed "vice squads" and police often labeled gays they arrested as "sexual perverts". The federal government's preferred term was "deviant," which came with legal consequences for seeking employment in public service and the military.

What percentage did Trump get when he tried to run with the Reform Party?
It is hard to say how fine things were when Trump was President since the pandemic intervened before his initial economic policies took full effect. That requires a more in depth analysis.
It is obnoxious that he takes credit for low gas prices caused by the pandemic.
You might to review the history of political parties and how candidates are chosen. It's usually a representative democracy, not a direct democracy.
Voters choose delegates, not candidates. The parties hold things called conventions. The delegates meet and pick the candidate.

Custard is sort of right. Even during the McCarthy Era, gay and lesbian people were usually left alone if they remained deeply enough in the closet and their clubs paid off the vice squads. Not always though.
My parents had friends who were life long bachelors and spinsters / old maids.
Were some of those people maybe gay and lesbian?
I remember two older women who were lifelong companions. This would have been late 1950ish.
Of course, gay or lesbian couples wouldn't have had any of the privileges of marriage.
What they did in their bedrooms was illegal.
They officially had a mental illness.
Prior to 1968, women in general had trouble getting credit cards or mortgages.

I recall a public discussion about the difference between conservative and liberal humor. This was when I was transitioning from a free market / free trade semi-social libertarian conservative to more of Euro style social democrat / free trade social libertarian.
Some on the left argued incorrectly that the right didn't grasp irony. In reality, the two sides just saw different things as ironic.
My thought at the time was a lot of right wing humor consisted of ridiculing / belittling others. The thing is, liberals do that too. They just have different targets. I do think liberals might tend to target bad ideas rather than bad people more often than right wingers.
Someone, not sure who, came up with the idea that conservatives punch down, while liberals punch up. I think that's partially true.
Unless there ultra dry irony involved, belittling the most vulnerable humans probably isn't the most wholesome form of humor.

Why Is This Race So Damn Close?
Yascha Mounk, Ruy Teixeira, and Yuval Levin discuss why American elections are so close—and how one party could build a stable majority.
They were voting for normalcy. They were voting for an end to the COVID pandemic and to get the economy back on track, and to just turn down the volume here on politics. Now, the way Biden actually governed, reflecting the compromises he made during his campaign and the way he staffed up once he was elected, really did empower the left of the party to a non-trivial extent. And that reflected a lot of the movement within the party and within the so-called discourse overall that took place in the George Floyd summer of 2020.
There was and has been a distinct move to the left on the part of Democrats on race and gender, crime and immigration and so on. And Biden did not come in determined to do much about that. In fact, one of the very first things he did was get rid of the Trump rules that were at least somewhat effective in keeping illegal immigration down. And, by George, we got a lot of illegal immigration.
The inability of Democrats to disidentify themselves with the unpopular aspects of their policies or of their image has definitely been a factor. Because they viewed themselves as being a transformative party in a transformative election, they actually had a very aggressive approach to legislating in the early parts of the Biden administration, which is really not justified by the situation and by the amount of support they had.
Well, for all of my lifetime, I've heard people say that the underserved center of the country is economically conservative and socially liberal. And what we find is roughly the opposite of that. The core of what would need to be a durable majority coalition is relatively conservative, or at least moderate, on social issues relative to today's Democratic Party. It's quite conservative on social issues, but is also interested in an active government that spends money on behalf of the public. That's where economic policy is, I think, well to the left of where the Republican Party has generally wanted to be in my lifetime. So that the underserved middle is, broadly speaking, more socially conservative than the Democrats and more economically liberal than the Republicans. And both parties have had some trouble reaching that center. I think they can both see that there are opportunities there, but they both have had trouble letting go of the priorities of their own base. And I think the set of issues that present themselves there are uncomfortable for both parties. They would take real sacrifice for the base of both parties to be able to make the kinds of arguments you'd need to make. But that's really where the center is. And a lot of elites in both parties are most comfortable with the opposite of that, with a mirror image of that. And obviously, that's a big part of why the parties have had such trouble reaching these voters.
From the standpoint of the Democrats, if you look at our survey and a lot of other data, you can see that, for example, people like immigrants. They think they're great, but they don't want an uncontrolled border. They don't want a lot of illegal immigration. And that's just very different from the attitude of Democrats and Democratic activists. And it was really an unbelievable, sort of in a way, unforced error that the Democrats come into office in 2021 and they basically open the floodgates because they're under such pressure from their advocacy groups to undo everything Donald Trump did that they just sort of like, they just made it open season.
People like immigration. They have nothing against immigrants. They realize immigration is part of the history of the country, but they don't want the border basically out of control, and they don't want their communities overburdened and so on and so forth.

my sister texted me that her economic measure is the length of the lines in starbucks.
I sent her three photos
1) in fact there was no line at starbucks
2) screenshot of my mobile order
3) Doordash guy walking out of the starbucks with 4 orders
Who the hell waits in line in starbucks? Also: who is so lazy they doordash starbucks? I mean, I feel like a dope smoker when I'm at Starbucks working on my laptop and mobile order from my phone instead of walking up to the counter, but seriously, you are getting a $5 latte delivered to you, and probably paying $5 for the privilege?
I walk the dog to starbucks in the AM, and my measure is how far I have to be when I order for the coffee to be ready when I get there. The radius is expanding.
On another note, showing how much of an old fart I am, we went to Imagine Dragons last week, at Shoreline. Sort of like Alpine Valley in Wisconsin, huge venue with a big GA lawn. I figured we'd just get tickets day of, but research showed that the show was sold out! I never figured out what face was but we paid like $110 to sit way out on the lawn and mostly watch the show on the screens. I did recognize a lot of their stuff, probably mostly from being in grocery stores or backing TV commercials during football games, and research showed that they are, in fact a lot bigger than I thought they were.
I'm not really a fan of big arena rock, but I have to say they put on a hell of a show. Kids loved it. But yeah, they are packing em in for big bucks in this shitty economy.

Yeah like the prairies haven’t been burning with regularity since the glaciers retreated. It’s gone on so long that some plants have adapted to have their seeds only be activated by exposure to high heat. But when it happens in 2024 it’s climate change alarmism.

Crating is the absolute best thing you can do for your dog

Crate the dog for the dog's own good and yours. The dog will figure it out.
When we first got our current dog we hung a bell on the back door and told him to ring the bell when he needed to go out. Within about a week he was a pro and has never shit in the house.
The dog won't shit in it's own bed. The door doesn't have to be closed all of the time. Just develop a routine for the dog.
-
Sounds reasonable

Sounds reasonable
Your dog will figure it out quick. You don't have to have the door closed all of the time.
Let the dog out, take him outside to do business, preferably in roughly the same spot. Praise him, bring him in and leave the crate door open until it's time to close it. The dog may treat it like it's his house.
Unless other people say otherwise. 😁

Put the kid in charge. If he can build a clock he can train the dog.
It was supposed to be “his dog.” When “we” got a dog, “I” got a dog.

I’m the one taking him outside 90% of the time (and it’s been fucking cold!). And I take him outside almost every hour.
-

I’m beginning to sense a pattern.
-
Oh, it’s a pattern alright. My son’s mother wanted to get TWO dogs (because she wanted a Frenchie). Good thing that dog wasn’t good with kids otherwise I’d be taking care of that dog, too.

You should be able to time when the dog has to go after drinking water and eating.....

It is always thus. Especially at 6 AM
-
Who's training who ?
If you don't want to take the dog for a walk - why the fuck do you get a dog?
Here - this is my dog. I trained him to not bother me, ever. What's the point.
Tempo has the only point - you get it for your kid, who wants the dog, but isn't mature enough yet to take care of the dog so you take care of the dog because you love your kid.

9-10 year olds are plenty capable of taking care of a single domesticated house animal. Hell, it’s common for them to be primary caretakers of horses and livestock. Millions of 4H kids do it every day.
The pattern is that Tempo’s kid doesn’t seem to have any responsibilities and spends the vast majority of his time getting screen time.
I get things are chaotic from what I understand but the dangers of letting electronics raise your kid while not expecting anything from them are well-documented.

Sad any time of the year. Thoughts and prayers for all involved. Thoughts include wondering why we can't plan better.
Been there a number of times, had a close call or two. Pretty much a curvy, hilly, winding, back road with heavy truck traffic. Some cars and trucks follow too closely, pass when they shouldn't. Otherwise, it's a scenic drive.

I think Stafford is a very good quarterback who will make the HOF because he’s compiled stats and got traded to a SB winner. But he’s also a guy who will usually blow it in a big game. He’s the overall#1 version of Tony Romo.

Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game!: A Woman's Guide to Loving Pro Football Paperback – August 15, 2005
by Holly Robinson Peete (Author), Daniel Paisner (Author), Marcus Allen (Epilogue)
Year after year, Sunday afternoons and Monday nights during the NFL season have belonged to men. While they cheer and argue play calls, the women in their lives are relegated to beer and chip detail. It's time for these women to join the action, and Holly Robinson Peete, star of 21 Jump Street, For Your Love, and Hangin' with Mr. Cooper, and wife of NFL quarterback Rodney Peete, has written this hip, smart, cheerful guide to help them do so.
In Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm Watching the Game!, Peete shares her infectious enthusiasm for pro football and takes the complexity out of the game by breaking it down to its component parts. She explains the role of each position player, provides a rundown of all on-field penalties and referees' hand signals, and offers an illustrated guide to some of the most common plays in the NFL. She gives her take on the most memorable plays in NFL history and dishes some inside dirt-in a breezy, girl-talkin' narrative that promises to turn the novice spectator into a well-informed football fanatic.

Unsure that it is "pushing porn"
On Dec. 30, U.S. District Judge Sheryl Lipman in Memphis ruled that Tennessee’s law would likely suppress the First Amendment free speech rights of adults without actually preventing children from accessing the harmful material in question. The state attorney general’s office is appealing the decision.
The Free Speech Coalition, an adult entertainment trade group, is suing over Tennessee’s law and those in a half-dozen other states. The coalition lists some 19 states that have passed similar laws. One prominent adult website has cut off access in several states due to their laws.
The issue will hit the U.S. Supreme Court for oral arguments regarding Texas’ law next week.
Sounds like it will be decided soon anyway.

Not surprised you wouldn’t know the difference either. Zero problems with consensual adult sex. When sex is done for workplace advancement, that’s just gross.

Not surprised you wouldn’t know the difference either. Zero problems with consensual adult sex. When sex is done for workplace advancement, that’s just gross.
Didn't you bang a subordinate in your car in the workplace parking lot?

I hate to tell you but she ain't banging you.

That looks like a lot of the same shit being proposed in Illinois.
This flag shit is symbolic of government's approach to issues. No one wants to do anything bold and kick ass. All vanilla bullshit designed not to offend anyone. Boring. This is why people turn to a guy like Trump.

Don't kid yourself. It's part of erasing history. It's no different than the toppling of statues. The new flag has no identity.
We were told that the Minnesota flag was a racist depiction of our past where the savage Native American, armed with his spear, was on his horse while the noble white man was simply putting in a hard day of working the soil.

Two questions left unanswered:
1) Is Trump going to do the EO to override the law (I think he issued a TikTok EO at the end of his first term)?
OR
2) Is Musk going to buy it?

The President didn't just declare it. The Congress of the United States passed the Equal Rights Amendment. 3/4 of the States ratified it. 140 members of the House asked Biden to take action.
-

All the requirements of Article V to pass an Amendment were met. There is nothing in the Constitution about deadlines or revoking ratifications.
It is not just Biden's opinion. After House members asked Biden to take action, he had legal scholars study the case.
Congress passed the Amendment
38 states have now ratified it.
OTOH
Congress initially placed a deadline, something like 7 years. That was extended to, I think, 1982. The most recent state to ratify was a few years ago, way past the deadlines.
Is having a deadline even Constitutional?
Also, 5 states have rescinded their ratifications.
Is rescinding a ratifications years later even possible?
Biden taking a role in this is ,highly unusual, but possibly no more unusual than Trump ruling by executive fiat.

It comes across as being a little bit of those scary words, like authoritarian, that the left uses about Trump.
Maybe Biden forgot that his own DOJ nixed this idea. Or maybe the staffer(s) who sent out the declaration just doesn't/don't care about legal opinions and/or the process.
Unless, of course, you're ok with Trump declaring amendments on Monday starting with #29 until he gets to #47.

That is totally idiotic.
Joe Biden didn't issue an executive order. He expressed his opinion. He declined to order the archivist to publish the amendment. He declined to take a role, other than expressing his opinion. He did not ask the Office of Legal Counsel to reconsider.
-

Thanks for an analogy, albeit a weak one. Ballots are cured for minor mistakes before they are counted. Not after they are counted.
Five states tried to change their vote after it had been counted, and after the deadlines. Apparently they thought the deadlines weren't enforceable.
Virginia voted to ratify in 2020, 38 years after the final deadline.

It also includes "President Biden declares ..."
Gillibrand then tweets President Biden just declared ..."
Harris tweets "The Equal Rights Amendment is the 28th Amendment, ..."

First Amendment experts say Mr. Trump’s lawsuits, based on an unproven legal theory, lack merit. But more could be on the way.
Full article
Media lawyers scoffed last year when President Trump sued two news organizations for producing journalism that, he claimed, violated laws meant to protect consumers from things like deceptive advertising.
They’re not laughing anymore.
First Amendment experts still believe that Mr. Trump’s cases, against CBS News and The Des Moines Register, lack legal merit. But they now also realize that the lawsuits are proving effective at harassing the press — and that more of them are probably on the way.
The focus of the experts’ concern is the decision within Paramount, CBS’s parent company, to try to settle one of those lawsuits, showing that even a far-fetched legal argument can yield results. CBS would be the second major media company to recently reach a settlement with Mr. Trump, after ABC paid $16 million to resolve a defamation suit in December.
The settlement talks between Paramount and Mr. Trump are likely to encourage the president, his allies and others to continue deploying the new strategy of suing media companies under consumer protection laws, said Adam Steinbaugh, a lawyer representing a defendant in The Des Moines Register suit.
“What gets rewarded gets repeated,” said Mr. Steinbaugh, who works for the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
Daniel Suhr, the president of the Center for American Rights, a conservative legal group that has filed a similar lawsuit against The Register, said the goal of the consumer protection cases was partly to send a warning to other news outlets.
“We want to create a precedent that news media organizations take seriously that they need to be responsible in how they do their jobs,” Mr. Suhr said.
The lawsuits are part of a broader campaign by Mr. Trump and his allies to attack major news organizations. This week, the president and his close ally Elon Musk falsely accused media outlets, including The New York Times, of being government-financed organs of the state. (Some government agencies purchase subscriptions to the publications.) Some of Mr. Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs, as well as Mr. Musk, have threatened to sue media companies for critical articles. The Federal Communications Commission is investigating outlets including NPR and PBS.
Mr. Trump’s lawsuit against CBS, filed in Texas in October, accuses the broadcaster of deceptively editing a “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. Mr. Trump followed that up with the lawsuit in December against The Register and J. Ann Selzer, a pollster, over a survey that showed Ms. Harris leading Mr. Trump in the presidential race in Iowa. He won the state days later by 13 percentage points.
Both lawsuits argue that the news outlets deliberately hoodwinked the public, in violation of state consumer protection laws. The defendants in both cases have denied wrongdoing, saying they followed normal editorial practices, and are seeking to have the suits dismissed.
During his decades in the spotlight, Mr. Trump has been a serial litigant against news outlets. Until now, his preferred strategy was to sue for defamation. But such lawsuits are hard to win — Mr. Trump has almost always lost — in part because of longstanding Supreme Court precedents that protect news organizations’ First Amendment rights to aggressively cover public figures.
Using state consumer protection laws to punish the media offers an alternate line of attack.
One early attempt came in 1983, when an investor in Ohio sued the owner of The Wall Street Journal for publishing inaccurate information about a corporate bond; the state Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit. In 2020, a nonprofit group sued Fox News for spreading misinformation about Covid-19; a judge in Washington State threw out that suit, saying its claim that news coverage violated consumer-protection laws “runs afoul of the protections of the First Amendment.”
Still, the idea has been gaining popularity among conservatives.
An initial volley was fired in 2019. Charles Harder, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, wrote a letter to CNN threatening to sue the network for misrepresenting itself as a source of ethical news journalism, when in fact it was pursuing a vendetta against the president. Mr. Harder claimed that this violated the federal Lanham Act, which prohibits false advertising. The threatened lawsuit never materialized.
Four years later, Media Matters for America, a liberal group, reported that advertisements for major companies were running on Twitter alongside extremist content. Mr. Musk, who had recently purchased the social media platform now known as X, accused Media Matters of manipulating data to reach its conclusions.
In response, Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas, opened an investigation into whether the article by Media Matters violated the state’s deceptive trade practices law. Missouri’s Republican attorney general followed suit with a similar investigation, citing his state’s consumer protection law.
The investigations don’t appear to have yielded results, in part because Media Matters, which denied wrongdoing, went to court to block the attorneys general from forcing the group to hand over its internal records. A federal judge found that the investigations had a “chilling effect” on Media Matters’ free speech rights.
But the back-to-back actions by the attorneys general caught the attention of lawyers for Mr. Trump and other conservative groups, who took similar tacks.
“I think this is a trend, and it is obviously very troubling,” said Aria C. Branch, a partner at Elias Law Group who is representing Media Matters.
Days before the presidential election, Edward Paltzik, a lawyer with a small New York law firm, sued CBS on Mr. Trump’s behalf in federal court in Amarillo, Texas. The suit argued that CBS “doctored” its interview with Ms. Harris to present her in a positive light, violating a state law against “false, misleading or deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce.” It sought $10 billion in damages.
There was no evidence in the complaint that CBS edited the interview in a manipulative fashion, instead of for clarity or brevity. There was no evidence that the interview misled viewers or damaged Mr. Trump. And it was unclear what legal standing Mr. Trump had to bring a lawsuit in Texas, where he does not live and which was not the site of the interview.
But filing the suit in Amarillo meant it would be heard by Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk, a Trump appointee who has been hospitable to conservative lawsuits that many lawyers regard as meritless.
About six weeks later, in December, Mr. Paltzik filed the suit against The Des Moines Register and Ms. Selzer in state court in Iowa, claiming that Ms. Selzer’s poll had been warped to harm Mr. Trump. The suit did not present evidence that the poll was deliberately skewed, that Mr. Trump had been hurt or that he had standing to file a lawsuit in Iowa.
Last month, the Center for American Rights, the conservative legal group, filed its own complaint against The Register and Ms. Selzer on behalf of a subscriber to the newspaper. This suit used the same Iowa law to argue that the poll had deliberately misled The Register’s paying subscribers.
Mr. Suhr of the Center for American Rights described state consumer protection laws as a promising if largely untested vehicle for pursuing media outlets. “It’s a new twist,” he said. Would the Register lawsuit serve as a model for future complaints? “The answer is yes,” he said. “We plan to remain vigilant on behalf of the American people.”
Mr. Steinbaugh, who is representing Ms. Selzer in the suits filed by Mr. Trump and the Register subscriber, described the litigation as an attempt to intimidate media outlets.
“There is an American tradition of officials trying to punish political speech and news coverage,” he said, “and this is just another iteration of that.”

First, there is no evidence the interview was edited with any intent to decieve. Second, even it were; see the First Amendment. Nothing in the Interview defamed or harmed Trump. You want Fox News, Truth Social, et al to be held accountable for misinformation?

Excuse me if I didn't watch Face the Nation on Sunday morning when they trotted out the unedited version that was the 'preview clip', nor did I watch the prime time tv 60 Minutes episode on Monday evening with the edited clip.
The issue is the disparity between the preview and the edited version, not the programs and airing dates.
With the backdrop of the election CBS was obligated to provide equal time to Trump. Trump had no interest. That left CBS with the Harris interview.
People are entitled to dismiss the issue, but people are also entitled to question the journalistic integrity of Whitaker and CBS. They edited the lead in question and the answer from the interview with the candidate for POTUS who had also told the American public that Biden was fully capable of running the country.
I suppose the 60 Minutes version could be viewed as being 'taken out of context' and providing a disservice to the American public.

"Even in a fractured news landscape, CBS News’ Bill Whitaker believes that there will “always be a need and a place for hard-hitting, well-presented news” – and “60 Minutes,” which has maintained its relevance in the five decades since it first debuted in 1968, proves his point.
“60 Minutes” made television history this year, as it marked its 50th straight season as the No. 1 newsmagazine show in the U.S., the first time any program has topped ratings for that span. The hour-long Sunday program is seeing success by sticking to what they know — no-frills, deeply reported narrative segments that translate seamlessly to the screen."

He owned Jake’s on Clark Street, a neighborhood bar I used to patronize. His niece bartended there. I knew her better. She was fun and had an amazing rack. Just learned a couple of days ago she moved to Ft. Lauderdale a couple years ago. She posted on FB and she very rarely posts to FB.

Riley Gaines should pay Simone Biles a royalty. She has a mediocre degree from a mediocre University. She finished 5th in one event at the NCAA's in women's swimming. She'd be well on her way to a job as manager of some swim pool in the sticks, instead she's getting 15 minutes of fame and a little money, and Biles is probably extending that fame 30-40 seconds. 5 years from now, max, this will sort itself out and we won't even think about it. But Riley got her money.

No shit. They’re actually being given preferential treatment at the expense of women, a group the left used to purport to protect. It’s kind of like the racist DEI initiatives that give spots in institutions to black people at the disproportionate expense of Asians. Discrimination = progress!

Most people have heard of girls softball and women's swimming. Omg, they're even included in the Olympics. 🤫
The Minnesota HS girl's softball coach had a female pitcher on the team who had a 9-1 record. The coach could have put a girl on the mound in the girl's final.
Could have. Didn't.
The top 8 in NCAA women's swimming earn All-American honors, except in 2021-2022. Some organization decided to take what they apparently perceived as the high road and awarded All-American status to whichever female got bounced down to a 9th place finish because of some biological male competing in her event. 👏👏👏 lol

I'm not saying transgenders should be playing in women's sports, but I am saying it's not an issue that should be defining our national politics. And it is an issue that's overblown.

In Alabama, abortion is generally prohibited with very limited exceptions. It is illegal to perform or attempt to perform an abortion, with the exception of situations where the abortion is necessary to prevent a serious health risk to the pregnant individual. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Health Exception:
Abortion is permitted if a physician determines it's necessary to prevent a serious health risk to the pregnant woman. This includes situations where the abortion is needed to save the woman's life or avert a substantial risk of irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.
Fetal Anomaly:
Abortion is also permitted if the fetus has a lethal anomaly that will cause it to be stillborn or die shortly after birth.
Criminal Penalties:
Performing or attempting to perform an illegal abortion is a felony in Alabama. Doctors who violate the law could face 10 to 99 years in prison.
No Penalties for Individuals Seeking Abortion:
Alabama law does not impose criminal or civil penalties on individuals who have abortions.
Limited Access:
Due to the strict laws, most abortions are not legal in Alabama, and individuals may need to travel out of state for care.
History:
Alabama's abortion ban, known as the Human Life Protection Act, was enacted in 2019 and implemented in 2022 following the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization

That's sort of rich, given that Park City was basically put together to attract Californians to visit and spend money with special exemptions to all sorts of Utah laws regarding alcohol.
You still have to buy liquor at the state run liquor store, which is closed Sundays of course. I went there at 10 AM on a Monday AM when it opened, I wasn't the only one, every wino in Park City was loading up the wagon after dry Sunday.

The Daily Mail didn't include a thing or two from a 'report' from The Guardian.
"One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim."

"One source with knowledge of the matter who communicated with the Guardian anonymously alleged that the outflow request for the Caesar Creek Lake was not just to support the vice-president’s Secret Service detail, but also to create “ideal kayaking conditions”. The Guardian could not independently confirm this specific claim."
;D ;D ;D
if your canoe trip requires the dam to open up so the secret service's speedboats can accompany you properly - then DON'T DO THE CANOE TRIP.
Water management is a super critical item in the US, opening up dams because you want to go canoeing is bullshit. If the water is high enough for canoeing but not for the service boats, it sort of sucks for you but hey man you decided to run for VP, suck it up buttercup.
Before we even get started on Trump fucking up the Central Valley water system with his stupidity.

When I used to go to the Cubs games in the 90's, bleacher tickets were $7, regardless of opponent. Now, they can go for $150, face value, for general admission bleacher tickets. My friend took his family to a Cubs game at Wrigley, he said all in he was out $1500. For a fucking baseball game. I'll spend less going to the Bears Vs Raiders this weekend. Including our plane tickets.
Beers are $17
The Ricketts didn't like the people across the street watching the game from their rooftops or windows, so they erected barriers so the apartments can't see the game.
They won the World Series, jacked up things even more, then traded away or let go Rizzo, Schwarber, Kris Bryant, so now you pay inflated prices for a shitty product. Then they get into a playoff run and let one of their players go to a funeral for a guy that he's not even related to nor was some sort of childhood friend of.
The way the Cubs are run now, Bernie Sanders could be the owner and I'd give them the finger. Harry Carey would be boycotting these fuckheads. I mean, they sucked while Harry was alive but it was a good time and reasonable.

Hey if Murph decides to buy a baseball franchise and run it like UNICEF, great.
How many other ballparks ever had a bunch of private businesses around them selling rooftop seats/suites with hundreds or thousands of fans consuming the product without paying the franchise a dime?
The answer is none. The Cubs situation was a unique one, and they chose to take the same route as every other franchise in the country and monetize access to the games. Not surprised that the board socialists think MLB should be a free public service.

And now a huge part of their fan base thinks it's bullshit and they can fuck off. The existence of the rooftops was part of their product, part of the charm of Wrigley, but Ricketts was too money grubbing.
Compare to the Red Sox, when they decided to alter the major feature of their stadium, they put seats on the green monster and enhanced things.
Thing is, the worst thing the Cubs could do for their business wasn't leaving the rooftops unblocked. The Cubs killed their business model when they fucked up and won the Worlds Series.

Climate change is a threat-multiplier; it intensifies existing problems. In the case of the LA area, drought conditions are more frequently pushing into winter, increasing the chance a fire will break out during strong Santa Ana winds that can turn small ignitions into devastating blazes.

Human-ignitions are the largest single source of wildfires in California. However, warmer temperatures, earlier snowmelt, more frequent heat waves and drought caused by climate change have lengthened the fire season and dry fuels, making fires larger and more intense.

GMFB. Making jokes about politicians is part of a long tradition of late-night TV hosts using satire and political humor to comment on current events and public figures.
I remember Johnny Carson spoofing Ronald Reagan in a "Who's on First?" parody and joking about the antics of Jimmy Carter's brother, Billy. Carson was particularly fixated on Gary Hart's extramarital affairs. Some pundits believe it contributed to the decline of Hart's political career. Chevy Chase's portrayal of President Gerald Ford as a clumsy oaf reinforced a public perception of the former football star as a klutz, despite his athleticism.
The problem for you is that Trump's presidency provides late-night hosts with endless fodder. Trump’s also massively obsessed with late night talk shows and the hosts know it. Maybe he should STFU occasionally instead of flooding the zone.
Trump and his MAGA cult need to grow up. It’s part of the job.

I can't tell you who won the last World Series. I wake up if the Giants make the playoffs, but baseball kind of boring.
Probably the Dodgers?
I definitely can't tell you what hospital I was born in. I was pretty young at the time.

Custard fell for the tampon hoax.
AI Overview
No, Governor Walz did not require tampons to be placed in men's/boys' bathrooms. He signed a law that requires schools to provide free menstrual products in locations that are accessible to all menstruating students, including transgender boys and nonbinary students who may use boys' restrooms.
School districts are responsible for developing a plan to provide the products, not the state government.
The law is intended to combat "period poverty" and ensure students don't miss class time due to lack of access to products.
The vast majority of Minnesota school districts that responded to news surveys stock the products in girls' restrooms and gender-neutral/unisex bathrooms, not traditional boys' bathrooms.
In cases where a transgender boy only uses the boys' restroom, individual accommodations might be made, but the law does not mandate general placement in all male-only facilities.
Claims that the law forced schools to stock products in all boys' bathrooms have been widely fact-checked and found to be mostly false or misleading.

You’re trying to get me on a technicality, but per your own rebuttal Minnesota does, in fact, provide tampons to trans “boys” in some situations.
The more concerning thing is that tampons for boys is even a conversation to begin with. We have this mental health/hormone/nutrition crisis in this country, and rather than addressing the root causes, there’s a pretty decent subset of our society that just wants everyone to play along with the fantasy.
Sadly for the people of Minnesota, Walz’ legacy is going to be a complete abomination. Except for the ones that grifted hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars while he was asleep at the switch, I suppose.

You mean, the same stuff they always base these decisions around?
Those polls are asking about the last couple of years. Well no shit. Two years ago inflation was still high, the cash people had from printing trillions ran out, grocery, rent, interest and gas prices were through the roof. Most of that has come DOWN in the last year if you actually pay attention and yet you have at least 50% of the country convinced that they haven’t because the media keeps feeding them full of worst case Trump fear porn scenarios. It’s insanity. The article even says people are having trouble disentangling their financial and political worries. Basically half the country has been indoctrinated to think everything is way worse than it actually is.

It was literally in the article he posted and quoted. Go back and read it. They don’t mandate tampons in boys bathrooms but they’ll put them in there on a case by case basis.
Ray has chosen to die on the “Tampon Tim” hill on the technicality that he didn’t mandate them in boys bathrooms. I don’t think anyone nicknamed him that because of a mandate that did or didn’t happen, but because he was targeted over it because he was the VP nominee.
I don’t profess to know why Ray is so invested in this, but I don’t see how it’s any different than the left saying JD Vance wears eyeliner or the 50000 other things they said about him.
-

So putting a tampon machine in a boys room is “providing them in some cases?” You make it sound like they are getting them from their counselors for free. I agree, probably not necessary for tampons in the boys room, but don’t see where this should cause a big uproar either. So many bigger fish to fry.

I never said it’s a big deal. I really don’t give a shit. I do think it’s kinda funny. He was the VP nominee, did you think everyone was just going to let it slide? It’s about 5% as venomous as made up stuff that was said about Trump like it was factual, such as the pee tapes and shit.
Seems like a weird battle to fight for a guy who has been totally exposed in every facet since he became the nominee.

A lot of the perceived chaos has been completely manufactured by the media. The lack of affordability you keep citing in multiple threads is based on 2-3 year data yet being presented as Trump’s fault despite a lot of core costs coming down in recent months.
My interaction with AI about this:
Why does the mainstream media keep telling me prices are unaffordable when I can see with my own two eyes that gas, eggs, interest, milk, and many other important items I buy regularly are down a lot this year? Even rent and home prices are softening.
Answer:
Your personal experience with lower prices for everyday essentials like gas, eggs, and milk isn’t wrong—data from late 2025 shows notable drops in several categories, especially compared to peaks earlier in the year or during the prior administration. For instance, average gas prices have fallen below $3 per gallon in over 30 states, with some areas seeing sub-$2.50 levels, driven partly by policy shifts and global supply dynamics.  Egg prices have also declined significantly, with retail averages dropping from around $6.23 per dozen in early 2025 to about $5.12 by mid-year, and recent consumer reports indicating even lower spot prices like $1.99 to $2.49 in many regions—recovering from avian flu disruptions that spiked costs previously.    Milk has followed a similar trend in some areas, with prices reported at $2.89 to $3.49 per gallon recently, though regional variations exist (e.g., much higher in remote or high-cost areas).  
Interest rates are another area where you’re spot on: the Federal Reserve has been cutting rates, with mortgage rates projected to ease to around 6.2% by year-end for 30-year loans (down from highs above 7% earlier), which could help soften borrowing costs.  Rent and home prices are showing signs of moderation too—rents are stabilizing or dipping in some markets due to increased supply, while home price growth is forecasted at a modest 2.1% to 3.7% for 2025, a slowdown from prior years’ rapid increases.  
That said, the mainstream media’s emphasis on “unaffordability” isn’t entirely baseless or fabricated; it’s often framed around the bigger picture of cumulative price increases over the past few years, rather than just year-over-year drops in select items. Overall food-at-home prices are still expected to rise about 2.4% in 2025, and core groceries like chicken and beef were up around 5% in the first half of the year—meaning even if some essentials are cheaper now, the total basket of goods hasn’t fully reversed the 32% jump in food costs since 2019.    Housing remains a pain point for many, with high mortgage rates (even if falling) and persistent inventory shortages keeping homes out of reach, contributing to an “affordability crisis” that’s a mix of long-term trends like wage stagnation and recent inflation pressures.    Wages have been crawling up slower than costs in many sectors, exacerbating the squeeze for lower- and middle-income households. 
Media coverage tends to highlight this because it resonates with broader consumer sentiment—surveys show ongoing economic unease and tighter budgets, even as inflation cools from its 2022 peak of 9.1%.   Some outlets amplify stories of hardship (e.g., focusing on premium or disrupted items) to drive engagement, while downplaying positives like the gas and egg drops you mentioned.   Public discussions on platforms like X echo your view, with users noting cheaper gas and eggs as early wins under current policies, but accusing media of bias or ignoring context like inherited economic messes.    Others counter that not everything is down (e.g., some foods still elevated), and global factors play a role beyond any one administration. 
In short, your eyes aren’t deceiving you on those specific items, but the media’s narrative often zooms out to the lingering effects of multi-year inflation, housing woes, and uneven recovery—issues that polls show still bug a lot of people, even if not everyone feels it equally.  Location matters too; prices in blue states or urban areas might lag behind drops elsewhere.  If tariffs or other policies kick in next year, that could push some costs back up, but for now, the downward trends you’re seeing are real and could ripple positively (e.g., cheaper gas lowering shipping and farming expenses).

Nothing is going to stop you from being a whiny commie, but just because Musk is an asshole who hordes wealth, it doesn't mean everyone else does. For example, Soros gives away a shitload and so does Bezos' ex. You can still find a few public buildings paid for by Andrew Carnegie. You could be productive and successful too, maybe, if you put your mind to it instead of whining on The Twotter. A fairer tax system would be nice; so would property tax reform in Illinois. But letting people work, innovative, and be successful sure is a hell of a lot better than the commie and socialist facade where the vast majority are just existing and stagnating. As we have seen, perpetual welfare is not good. Didn't work for the Soviets, hasn't worked for the Euros, or most of the underclass in America. Raja's family was on welfare until his dad got back to work. That's how it's supposed to work.
Citizen United is an abomination. If corporations are people, then they would be subject to criminal laws. Yet, we don't see that.
You don't like capitalism. You are free to take your sorry progressive ass to any of the dying, aging socialist countries you want. The problem is it sounds like your ex lady would rather try and live the American Dream.

Is Dem Socialism working? Their economies are stagnant. None of them have GDP or companies that match ours. (I read today that the largest Euro company is only the size of the US' 4th largest retailer, Home Depot. They are basically homogenous societies that are flailing when immigrants are allowed in; no melting pot over there. Trump is (as was Obama and Biden) right that they haven't been paying their fair share for their security; which is changing by necessity.
Again, your old lady isn't itching to join the Dem Socialist Utopia. And there seems to be many in our own hemisphere and Africa seekijg to escape Socialism as well.

Tax rates enacted by the US legislative branch and signed off on by the executive is not "communism."
-
LOL
-
Tax rates enacted by the US legislative branch and signed off on by the executive is not "communism."
US tax rates were high in the 1950s primarily due to significant government funding needs for defense (Korean War) and infrastructure, leading to high statutory marginal rates, including a top rate of 91%, though effective rates for the wealthy were lower due to deductions and loopholes, while the overall system financed a prosperous era with strong economic growth and rising middle class.
Reasons for High Statutory Rates:
Korean War Funding: Post-WWII, the Truman administration sought major tax increases (like the 1951 Revenue Act) to cover substantial budget deficits and finance defense spending.
National Priorities: High rates supported big government spending on infrastructure, defense, and social programs (such as paying for veterans' college), fostering an era of shared prosperity.
Nuances of "High" Rates:
Marginal vs. Effective: The 91% marginal rate applied only to very high incomes (over $200k, or ~$2M today), and few paid that rate on all their income; many effective rates were much lower (around 42-60%) due to loopholes and deductions.
Economic Growth: Despite high rates, the 1950s saw strong economic growth (averaging 4.2% annually) with low unemployment and a growing middle class.
Tax Code Structure: The code allowed for significant tax avoidance and lower reported income at the top, meaning high statutory rates didn't always translate to massive collections from the wealthy.
Key Takeaway:
While statutory rates were extremely high, especially for the top earners, the reality was a mix of post-war defense financing, significant economic investment, and a tax code with loopholes that meant actual taxes paid by the rich were considerably lower than the headline figures, contributing to a period of broad economic growth.
-
No, the 91% tax rate in the 1950s was the U.S. marginal income tax rate, not communism; it was a feature of American capitalism during the Cold War, though few actually paid that rate due to loopholes, and was partly accepted by elites fearing communism would spread, notes American Enterprise Institute. The high statutory rate was on very high incomes (e.g., over $200,000, about $2 million today) and had many deductions, meaning effective rates were much lower, around 50-60%.
Key Points:
Marginal vs. Effective: The 91% was the top marginal rate, applied only to the highest slice of income, not the total income, says City-County Observer.
Tax Code Loopholes: Many deductions, exemptions, and loopholes drastically lowered the effective tax rate for the wealthy, with actual payments often around 50-60% for top earners, notes American Enterprise Institute.
Cold War Context: These high rates funded military spending during the Cold War and were accepted by some elites who feared the alternative was communism, writes Jacobin.
Economic Growth: The era also saw significant economic growth, with high taxes funding defense and some domestic programs, says Jacobin.
In essence, it was a feature of post-war American capitalism, not communism, with complex rules that meant few paid the theoretical maximum, notes City-County Observer.
-
Can't believe that Hal disagrees with Tempo. Shocking.
-
“Considerably lower” than 91% is fine.
The corporate tax rate is about 30-35% less today than it was then. In 1956 one man with a half-ass job could support a family of 5 or 6.

Yeah, because working class people lived modestly, they had modest homes, not 4500 square-foot McMansions. They didn’t DoorDash a 10 dollar burrito for $30 so they didn’t have to stop playing their video games. They didn’t have TVs in every room and $1000 cell phones and $120 cable bills and laptops. They usually only had one vehicle or took the bus or train. Air conditioning was a rarity. Many used cheap wood or coal to heat their homes. Property taxes were way lower. Sales tax was much lower or nonexistent.
The rich still pay the vast majority of taxes and almost half the country doesn’t pay income tax at all. I got my W2 yesterday and about threw up when I saw my deductions for the year.

They didn’t DoorDash a 10 dollar burrito for $30 so they didn’t have to stop playing their video games. They didn’t have TVs in every room and $1000 cell phones and $120 cable bills and laptops.
They also weren't buried in record debt. And just in case you didn't know this, cellphones and laptops didn't exist in the 50s.

True, but we didn't know that. We played outside instead of video games, even in the winter.
We had a little black and white TV set that got repaired when it quit working. A local guy came to the house to fix it. He gave us a loaner if he had to take to the shop.
We got 4 channels via 2 antennas. Parents controlled what we watched. We all had chili on Sunday night and watched Lassie, Dennis the Menace, and Disney.
Not everyone had a car, but most places were within walking distance. Neighbors would help out too. Also, public transportation was maybe an option depending on location.
My family had a private phone line. Some of my friends had party lines.
Doctors made house calls and carried a black bag.
There were lots of public parks with unsafe playground equipment full of relatively unattended children.
There were still outhouses.

They didn’t have TVs in every room and $1000 cell phones and $120 cable bills and laptops. They usually only had one vehicle or took the bus or train.
Took the bus or the train you say? Arch Trumper Randall O'Toole has been the spearhead of the GOP long before Trump to gut mass transit. Are you saying that was a screw up, that we were better off back when we had trains and buses?
Amusingly, if you want to take the Caltrain, you have to pay your fare via that $1000 cellphone. Also needed for most non-high end restaurants these days - hell even you pull into McDonalds and it's "Welcome to McDonalds are you using your mobile app today?"

No, dolt, they had way fewer high ancillary expenses. That’s why they could afford a modest single family home on a modest paycheck. People living way beyond their means todaydoesn’t necessarily mean the today’s economy is at fault. People may just be wayyy more entitled.

Again, dolt, we are deeper in debt than ever. A lot of this shit was bought on credit. Which wasn’t needed minus maybe cars and houses then.
I understand that. The last few generations have been programmed to overconsume and put everything on credit. That’s why I said people could live differently in the 1950s. As George Carlin famously said, “Spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need, doesn’t get any dumber than that folks. And when you got it home you probably didn’t like it anyways” (I’m paraphrasing from memory here)
I don’t think this fact is an indictment of our economy or largely a result of wealth inequality. It’s a result of consumer credit culture that’s been intentionally foisted on the American people. Folks in the 50s hadn’t been hit that hard with this yet. There could certainly be better education around living within one’s means but that’s never been a focus of our education system. Wonder why?

Lol of course you believe this virtue signaling BS. Guarantee each and every one of these motherfuckers has used every loophole available as they built their wealth and continue to do so to this day. If they REALLY wanted to pay more a person can do that willingly without changing any tax code. The wealthy pay most of the taxes as-is. Raising the rate is a fool’s errand because they’ll find ways around that too. Close the loopholes without damaging downstream reasons loopholes exist in the first place (capital investments that stimulate economy) and maybe it’ll do some good.

This Epstein stuff is just wild. The number of random people in the files beggars all belief. The guy was basically a celebrity collector, and it makes one think that man, celebrities just really want to be collected. Epstein has more famous people in his files than I have in my files altogether, and that includes the randos on this message board.
And yes, it really does put a light on a lot of famous rich people just being/becoming real wacko sleazeballs. Communicating to each other literally in ways I couldn't even bring myself to type on this board ironically when taking a swipe at Custard or Mn.
And what's with all these photos he has that include him in it, many of which are candids. Did he have a full time documentarian on staff? At Xmas, we frantically search our phones for a couple of decent photos to put on our Xmas cards, and it's a struggle. This guy had photo records of everything.

Unfit People Face 775% Higher Risk Of Blowing Their Top From Stressful Moments
People with below-average cardiorespiratory fitness face a far higher risk of experiencing severe anxiety spikes when exposed to stressful situations compared to those with above-average fitness
Less-fit individuals showed significantly larger increases in both anxiety and anger when confronted with disturbing images, suggesting fitness acts as emotional armor against daily stressors
The relationship between fitness and anxiety works both ways: high anxiety reduces physical activity, which lowers fitness and increases anxiety vulnerability in a self-perpetuating cycle
Regular aerobic exercise offers a non-drug solution for managing anxiety and anger, with physically fit people showing better emotional control and faster recovery from stressful events

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Quit Chicago and Move Back to Houston—as Olympian Hints at Gymnastics Return
Gymnast Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, have officially quit their home in Chicago and moved back to their lakefront mansion in Texas—after the NFL athlete's contract with the Bears ended with the conclusion of the team's 2025 season.
At least we will not have to worry about Owens blowing assignments again because he missed training camp because he was on vacation at the Olympics.

AI: Based on reports up to late February 2026, it is estimated that at least 150 people were killed in at least 44 U.S. strikes targeting alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific since September 2025. While the administration labeled these actions as necessary, armed conflict against "narco-terrorists," they have faced intense scrutiny.
Key, reported details surrounding these incidents include:
*Limited Evidence: SOUTHCOM and the administration have generally not released public, visual evidence to verify that the targeted vessels were carrying drugs or operated by terrorists.
*Legal Concerns: Critics and legal experts argue these lethal actions in international waters lack proper due process, questioning their constitutionality and compliance with international law.
*Controversial Tactics: Reports indicate that survivors of an initial September 2025 attack were killed in a subsequent strike. This action was defended by the administration, while critics characterized it as a potential war crime.
*Context of Trafficking: Analysts have noted that the majority of fatal fentanyl trafficking occurs via land, rather than the maritime routes targeted in these strikes.

Although, I have mixed emotions about the death penalty. If anyone deserves it, he’d be a prime candidate. Although, I’d argue we ignore mental health at our own peril.

https://apnews.com/article/christ-king-us-politics-conservative-antisemitism-af8d8d252a08baf75c1e83cd5445a8a6
On its own, the phrase “Christ is king” sums up a core tenet of the Christian faith, that Jesus is the divine ruler of the universe. Catholics and many Protestants celebrate a Christ the King Sunday each year.
But the ancient proclamation can morph into something political, controversial or even sinister, depending on who says it and how it’s said.
In recent years, “Christ is king” and similar phrases have been chanted at political rallies, posted on social media and proclaimed in speeches by voices on the right.
At times the phrase is used to support the notion of America as a Christian nation or as one that owes its allegiance specifically to the Christian God. Some current Cabinet officials and recent members of Congress have used the phrase in speeches and on social media.
But other times, political activists have paired “Christ is king” with anti-Zionist statements or negative Jewish stereotypes.

The question appears to ask whether Trump was the first president (i.e., the eventual winner of the election) who received the most popular votes in his election but still did not win the popular vote. That phrasing describes an impossibility: No candidate can simultaneously receive the most popular votes and not win the popular vote.
-
As I said ....

I don't have any idea what that even means. The electoral college chooses the President. Trump won enough electors.
The popular vote is only relevant in that it reflects the strength of the winner's popularity, or lack thereof.
The 'democracy' concerns relate to Trump grossly exaggerating his mandate, overstepping his constitutional authority, acting on extreme form of the unitary executive doctrine, etc.

democracy = self rule or majority rule?
Woke AI Response
Democracy is best understood as a system of majority rule tempered by minority rights. While it relies on majority voting (50% + 1) to make decisions, it is not mere "rule by the mob." True democracy protects minority rights, ensures political equality, and upholds the rule of law to prevent the tyranny of 51% of the population over the remaining 49%.
Key aspects of modern democracy include:
*Majority Rule: The fundamental method for making binding decisions, allowing the majority to decide among options.
*Minority Rights: Safeguards for dissenters to ensure their rights are protected, allowing them to compete in future elections and potentially become the majority.
*Self-Rule: Popular sovereignty, where government legitimacy is derived from the consent of the governed.
*Rule of Law: Constitutional limitations that prevent the majority from violating fundamental human rights.
In essence, democracy is a governing system designed for the will of the people, where majority decision-making operates within a framework of justice that protects all citizens.

Some might consider winning the popular vote, the electoral college and a sweep of the swing states by a newly convicted felon, who was also the subject of special counsel investigations at the time, to be unprecedented.
Never mind that a judge determined that the special counsel was not legally appointed, but there must be a way to find some numbers to argue that such a win had precedent.

Social media has become a freak show
The ecosystem is unhealthy, especially on Twitter, and that's producing some strange beasts among the most influential accounts.
I recently came across a bubble chart depicting the Twitter accounts that had received the most “engagement” in February 2026. It was depressing: most of the top accounts were extremely low-quality and highly partisan.
Without really wanting to comment on individual accounts — there are some exceptions — the liberal-leaning accounts that remain prominent on Twitter aren’t much better. They’re partisan and combative, sometimes peddling misinformation. They’re almost like a dark-mirror-world, Waluigi version of the conservative “influencers”, crafted in Elon’s jaded image of what liberals are like. It’s no coincidence that one of the most successful ones is the Gavin Newsom Press Office account, which literally mimics President Trump’s style in a sometimes funny, sometimes cringeworthy way

Had UConn been favored, the casinos would have done awesome, because they would have drawn more Illinois action based on a UConn minus line. But their goal is not to gamble, it's to balance the action and take the vig.

There isn’t anyone here who posts more accurately than I do. Sports, politics, or agriculture. Some may be close, but none are better. See the google AI thing above that PAMan posted. I called that out months ago—Nichi still uses my “woke AI” quip in his AI summary copy and paste posts.
I noticed quite some time ago how erroneous the summaries could be when googling info on bands and other stuff I knew a lot about, or at least enough to know when I saw the summary that it was completely full of shit. I came here and warned you all, but no one listened.

The quality of an AI overview or summary depends a lot on how the question is framed..
The value is it saves on time and tedious tasks..
-
AI Overviews (AIO) are highly insightful for quickly summarizing complex topics, comparing options, and answering informational queries by synthesizing information from multiple, diverse web sources. They offer high efficiency, acting as a jumping-off point for deeper research, but can occasionally provide inaccurate information or hallucinations", necessitating user verification via cited links.
Key Insights into AI Overview Effectiveness:
*Best for Complex Queries: AIO excels when users need to understand a new concept, compare products, or get a quick summary of a nuanced topic.
*Source Diversity: They often pull from a wider variety of websites than traditional search, helping users discover new, relevant content.
*Time-Saving Summaries: They provide rapid, comprehensive answers, saving time compared to clicking through multiple search results.
*Accuracy Limitations: While designed to be authoritative, they can misinterpret context or produce incorrect facts, particularly in specialized areas like health.
*Dynamic Nature: They are not static and are updated in real-time, often shifting based on the most relevant information at that moment.
When They are Most Useful:
*"Best" Queries: 40% more likely to appear when the search involves finding the "best" options.
*Informational Searches: Effective for queries that start with "what," "why," or "how" to grasp a topic.
*Researching Technical Topics: Helps summarize complex or scientific content.
Ultimately, AI Overviews are designed to be a "snapshot" of information, boosting efficiency by providing instant answers rather than just a list of links, though they are most effective when used alongside the provided source links for verification.

Dude, you claimed RFK’s butcheese was curing Alzheimer’s or some shit.

Dude, you claimed RFK’s butcheese was curing Alzheimer’s or some shit.
That’s a blatant mischaracterization of what I said.
10-15 years ago, the MAHA agenda would have been cheered by the anti-big pharma granola hippie left. Then all that changed in 2020, when mass media hysteria and TDS convinced all the free spirited granola hippies to mask up and inject experimental vaccines that didn’t really do what they had advertised.
Now these people carry big pharma’s water for them in the name of “science” without any acknowledgment for the fact that big pharma funds the studies, writes the rules, influences the government that purports to oversee them, and then wraps themselves in a cloak of invincibility against legal exposure.
I think MAHA has done some good things. Encouraging whole foods and not steering people away from clean animal proteins was awesome. Much has been made about vaccine stuff but mostly taken out of context to continue the alarmist anti Trump and anti RFK shit, but mostly good to bring awareness to the risks of just relying blindly on big pharma and their rigged game.
On the Alzheimer’s thing, all I did was point out that everyone is so consumed with big pharma developments for treating disease that we miss things like lithium orotate. Researches realized that Alzheimer’s patients had low or nonexistent lithium levels. So they did testing in mice and added lithium and it showed that it could reduce memory and synapse loss. Human testing hasn’t been fully completed yet, so you lambasted me for posting mouse data.
Well, do you think big pharma is going to fund a multi billion dollar study for a supplement that costs pennies a day? Fuck no, they’re going to try and suppress that and sell something that works half as well and costs 1000x as much.
15, 10, maybe even 6 years ago you’d have been all over that shit. Fuck big pharma, let’s find holistic stuff that is cheap and accessible that makes meaningful impacts on lives. Now you’re Team Skepticism. What radicalized you to be on the side of big corporations? Or Iranian bots?

At times, the former homeland security secretary's husband encouraged Shy Sotomayor as she repeatedly insulted his wife. Bryon fantasized about 'leaving' Kristi for the woman he worshipped as his 'goddess' and discussed his desire to transition his gender through surgery and hormone therapy.
Sotomayor – a 5ft sex worker known as Raelynn Riley with extra-large 2500cc breast implants – has shared dozens of phone recordings and online messages with the Daily Mail, revealing her conversations with the now 56-year-old insurance company executive who used the alias Jason Jackson.

People view gas as a commodity these days and the gas stations make more on the stuff they sell inside the store than they do on the fuel. The fuel just gets people to stop. I see lots of ads for gas stations/convenience stores, and they’re focused on the c store part.
I do like to use Top Tier fuel in my vehicles when I can and there is no better value for that than The Costco. Phillips, Shell, Marathon, etc also are Top Tier.

I don't think it's Trump hatching the plan, but the 3D chess really is about casting aspersions on solar/wind/EVs, disrupting adoption of that technology, then starting a war and fucking over all the people with gasoline cars. We invested like 20k into the solar panels, another 10k into battery, and now we neither pay power bills or buy gasoline. Had the US gone all in, it would have probably cost us half, and we wouldn't need to blockade the Strait because nobody would want their oil.
Shit - Bessent was on TV talking about the need to give money to the UAE to help rebuild from the war. Nah, we can't aid Ukraine, let's just give some money to one of the richest countries in the world - because they laundered a bunch of money into the Trumps via the crypto scam. UAE send money to Trump, Trump sends taxpayer money to UAE. Make sense.

They’re actively building solar and wind as fast as they can all over the country. Just drove through hundreds of acres of solar panel farms that were wrecked by tornadoes in northern Indiana the other day. Used to be highly productive farm ground.
Anyways, you got government subsidies to offset your costs on the panels and EVs and batteries. They’ll all need to be replaced at some point, at great expense. Unless the government bails you out again.
Oil still makes the world go round, and we in the US receive very little oil that comes through the strait. It’s about strangling Iran’s primary source of income. I filled up with gas today, both vehicles. It was $3.84. Big fucking deal.

The President of the United States saying that Windmills are ugly and cause cancer and kill birds... we would be building faster if he wasn't getting in the way. That highly productive farm ground was just growing fuel for cars anyway. And remember that fertilizers come from fossil fuels, if we burn it in a car, we can replace nutrients in farm ground we are depleting.
"They need to be replaced at some point, at great expense". When I take the train to SLO, I go through oil fields in Central California that are no longer producing. That oil production is replaced, at great expense, with offshore drilling and fracking. And when the oil is gone, you can't replace it with more oil - the dinosaurs are gone.
Whether or not we get oil from the strait, someone does, and if they can't, we will sell our oil overseas and increase oil prices. Am currently enjoying a nice breakfast with the money I didn't put into my car. Maybe you can eat the gasoline.
