After 97 nights, Ted might be looking for a mostly peaceful neighborhood.
In an email Tuesday from Wheeler to other residents of the 16-floor high-rise tower, the mayor said it would be “best for me and for everyone else’s safety and peace” that he finds a new home. He assured people that police are taking their safety concerns seriously and invited them to a Thursday evening meeting that will include himself and officers to voice their concerns.
“I want to express my sincere apologies for the damage to our home and the fear that you are experiencing due to my position,” according to a screenshot of the email sent to The Oregonian/OregonLive. “It’s unfair to all of you who have no role in politics or in my administration.”
" Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek called for greater acknowledgement by elected officials of Portland police’s role in violence that occurs during nightly protests."
She must not have gotten the memo that the violence is due to the Feds.

Tune in early for the NFL pre-game coverage. Maybe they'll show some clips of the Vikings in their pre-game sjw wear. Nobody will be at the game, so there must be a reason for the heads up.

Isn't one of the issues in Kenosha was that the chief of police could not confirm that the cops on the scene knew the b/g of the guy when they pumped him full of lead? If that's the case, then his record is irrelevant.
As for the Minnesota guy, the cops' defense appears to be blaming each other to.prevemt a jury from finding reasonable doubt against any one of them or all of them? Sure sounds like it.
-
I don’t have time to goggle it but they would have known why they were called there, right?
-
I don’t have time to goggle it but they would have known why they were called there, right?
They were called there, but I thought the issue was that they were not necessarily given details on the history or had time to look it up. Meaning they knew there was a dispute occurring, but they didn't know anything else at the time..
-
I think when it gets down to this level it just underscores exactly how fucking hard it is to be a cop in crime ridden areas and have to make snap decisions in intense situations.
I sold an item online today and met the buyer in Kankakee on my way by. Super nice dude, late 40s or so, not real big, looked like a banker or accountant but was driving an older import. Soft spoken, measured in his speech, and wearing a charity pullover. The kind people usually get for doing a lot for said charity.
I forgot to bring a piece of the item he bought so I said I’d be happy to meet up with him again next time I’m going through. He told me he has been a cop in K3 for 24 years and with everything going on it wasn’t a good time to be a cop.
His schedule is way out of whack due to increased criminal activity, he isn’t seeing his family or his kids’ events, he doesn’t know what hours he’s working beyond the next day, and because of his rank he’s basically never off duty. They’re basically being told to stand down unless it’s life threatening.
I put myself in his shoes and tried to reconcile having the occupation of enforcing the law against being asked to allow community wrecking crime by certain protected groups. All the while he’s missing time he can never get back with his wife and kids.
There are a lot of bad cops that seek the position to have power over others and they should be held accountable at the highest level. But imo there are FAR more guys like the one I met today whose home life is being compromised while also having his entire job being redefined every time a news program airs. These guys aren’t the enemy.

What little I've seen, and and some are alleged.
In Kenosha, the police were responding to a 911 call. Without the contents of the call or the comments of the dispatcher to the police, it's conjecture what the police did or did not know.
Blake entered the woman's residence and took the kids and her car keys.
Blake later had a head lock on one of the responding police officers.
Blake was tased twice while resisting.
Someone, not the police, apparently shouted "drop the knife" twice. A knife was found on the floorboard when Blake tried entering the woman's car, where he already had the kids in the back seat. Blake's movements reaching into the car do not appear to be those of someone trying to sit in the driver's seat.
There is no way for the officer to know if any of the first shots were sufficient to stop Blake. It's possible that it was the last shot that did it.
George Floyd ....
He was in a car apparently breathing ok.
The 2 rookie police officers showed up and Floyd was not cooperative. Chauvin and Thao responded. Floyd was sitting in the police car when he says that he couldn't breathe. The medical examiner indicated that if Floyd had been found dead alone at home, his toxicology report would have been sufficient to treat it as an od.
The "I can't breathe" didn't start when he was on the ground.
Mike Freeman, the county attorney, and 3 prosecutors have been currently disqualified from the case by Judge Cahill for discussions with the medical examiner. The Judge cited "sloppy" work.
"The ruling related to a meeting some staff lawyers had with the Hennepin County medical examiner, a likely witness in the case, which allegedly violated the rules of professional conduct for attorneys.
“I think it was sloppy not to have someone [else] present [at a meeting with] a primary witness in this case,” Cahill said."
A defense attorney for one of the officers is requesting information regarding Floyd and his previous cooperation with police as a "snitch".
I'm not defending Chauvin by any means, but there may be a lot more to this story than meets the eye so far.

One of the reports said he told them he was claustrophobic when in the police car .
Shocked at claims of prosecutorial misconduct. Shocking!

I've seen that too. He was apparently ok 20-30 minutes earlier when he was sitting in his own car.
Being in your own car, then arguing with the police for 20 minutes doesn't do much for an "I'm claustrophobic" claim after being placed in the back seat of a police car.
The Judge apparently agrees with you.

https://nypost.com/2020/09/13/la-hospital-treating-deputies-inundated-by-protesters/
https://twitter.com/josie_huang
For now it looks like a handful of protestors gathered and taunted police officers at the hospital. Shame on them. One may have said he hoped they die. Ugh. The police subsequently arrested a protestor. They also may have mugged a female reporter and perhaps even tried to destroy evidence. At some point, they posted what appears to have been an inflammatory tweet, but that has been removed. Still, the "liberal" media runs with wild stories of mobs blocking entrances and shouting 'we hope they die'.

Video shows a lot more cops than protestors. Josie Huang was wearing press credentials and yelling that she was a reporter. Cops are trained to lie.
-
Police claimed Huang, who also reports for LAist, didn’t have credentials and ignored demands to leave the area.
But those claims are contradicted by video Huang shared on Sunday showing her quickly backing away from police when ordered to do so and repeatedly identifying herself as a journalist. Huang said she also had a press badge around her neck.
NPR executives and reporters groups condemned Huang’s arrest, demanding her charges be dropped and the sheriff’s department explain why officers forcefully tackled her.

Should this be a separate wtf is up SCOTUS thread? It is going to be fucking interesting. It looks like lose/lose/lose for Trump and the weasels McConnell and Graham. OK, maybe they have an out? Obama was a lame duck? Wait, what was that about a Biden rule? A reference to 1992? Was George H. W. Bush a two President?
Meanwhile Grassley and Murkowski have recently reaffirmed. Grassley this summer, Murkowski days ago. Cory Gardner is up for reelection, behind in the polls, and is another past 'Biden rule' advocate. Susan Collins is 12 down in the Quinnipiac and is already saying the November winner should pick the replacement. Then there is Mitt Romney. Are there 4 no votes?
Meanwhile, besides Collins and Gardner, 11 other Republican Senate seats are now considered vulnerable, including Graham's. Dems have 2 vulnerable seats. If Dems gain 4, they win control of the Senate.
If Trump & McConnell ram through a hard right replacement; that should motivate opposition turnout. Even if Trump ekes out an electoral college victory, he might still lose the Senate.
It might be wiser to do nothing, or even nominate a female version of Merrick Garland. Except that is not gonna fire up the Trumpsters.
Republicans are thinking it's best to motivate their own base. Plus, they'll need a vote to steal the election and some Senate seats. My guess is he nominates a hard right anti-abortion woman and McConnell forces a vote timed to affect the election.

True. Really underscores just how much more dangerous it is to be obese than virtually any other factor. Obesity is the common denominator in virtually all the major causes of premature death in the US.
As I’ve said so many times before, I’d love to see our leaders attack mental health and obesity issues with the vigor with which they’ve attacked the spread of the virus.

Good grief, I think the two Parties did flip, but not in the sense most people think, and it has been a recent flip. We now have hand wringing, right wing victims of offensive speech who just make things up, are into white identity, and think their made up alternative facts and theories are just as valid as real facts and scientific theories, because they make them feel better. This is straight out of self esteem education and identity politics. Guys like Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have devolved into pathetic parodies of themselves.

I always wondered why "big corporate" was pushing diversity... now it all makes sense
https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/20/21228324/amazon-whole-foods-unionization-heat-map-union
Store-risk metrics include average store compensation, average total store sales, and a “diversity index” that represents the racial and ethnic diversity of every store. Stores at higher risk of unionizing have lower diversity and lower employee compensation, as well as higher total store sales and higher rates of workers’ compensation claims, according to the documents.

The chief of the Peoria Tribe did not respond to requests for comment, and his community was busy setting up for a children’s Christmas party, his office said on Tuesday.
Chief Illiniwek was officially retired 13 years ago. University of Illinois is still trying to remedy his ‘painful impact’ on Indigenous people.

I was hot when when I was young. Got hit on all the time. I Learned to tell gay guys, no thanks I am straight. I'd tell the fat chicks I had a girl friend. They cried.
Had an encounter one October with pita people at Lake of the Woods near Mahomet. They looked ridiculous in their camouflage hiking garb, armed with organic bug repellant. I was fishing; which triggered them. They seemed to think the great spirit had put those fish there to swim around and be happy. Actually, I was catching rainbow trout with my nephew. I explained to them those were stocked in the fall, strictly as a 'put and take' fish, paid for with fishing license fees. They stormed away pissed off.

I have zero clue what Hunter Biden may or may not have done. But I'm not sure that the current DOJ looking into anything he may or may not have done actually means squat at this point.

Yeah, not a freak accident, but consider the source. Oddly, this guy has an interesting past. He spent some time in prison for attempting to hire a hitman to take out his wife. Little bit of karma at play here.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/dutch-graduate-gender-neutral-playing-cards-inequality-181001836.html
A Dutch woman has created a gender neutral pack of cards which removes the need for Kings, Queens and Jacks.
Indy Mellink was inspired to create the new form of deck after questioning why a king should be worth more than a queen.
The 23-year-old forensic psychology graduate was encouraged by her father to turn the traditional pack of cards on its head.
"If we have this hierarchy that the king is worth more than the queen then this subtle inequality influences people in their daily life because it's just another way of saying 'hey, you're less important," she said in an interview.
-
Triggered?
-
Isn't the problem more with traditional poker ranking than the cards themselves? Just make up your own game like hearts or euchre where a queen or jack trumps everything. Make the jack an enby. Done.

http://diversity411.com/diversity-in-the-workplace/diversity-at-amazon/
In a rapidly shifting political climate, Jeff Bezos wants Amazon employees to know the company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion remains unchanged.
The CEO sent a reassuring letter to company leaders on Sunday, in response to an inquiry from a manager and minority advocate anxious over last Tuesday’s election of Donald Trump, following a xenophobic campaign and concerning policies.
“The US has just concluded two years of the most divisive presidential campaigning many of us can remember with an unexpected result,” senior vendor manager Anthony Little wrote to Bezos. “The groups represented by our memberships were undeservingly pulled into the spotlight, and as such many of us feel deeply affected by the outcome.”
Little went on to ask Bezos if he’d weigh in with a reassuring “nonpartisan message” that might shore up the company’s minority groups, which includes the Black Employee Network, Glamazon (an LGBTQ group) and a Latino-centric group.
Bezos was more than happy to oblige.
“Thank you very much for your heartfelt email,” he responded. “Diversity at Amazon has always been, and always will be, committed to equal rights, tolerance and diversity. And we firmly reject, and have zero tolerance for, harassment of any kind.”
He added that a commitment to diversity at Amazon is not only good for the company; on a more elemental level, it’s just deeply and fundamentally right.
“We’re a company of builders whose diverse backgrounds, ideas, and points of view are critical to helping us invent on behalf of all our customers,” Bezos wrote. “But it’s not only that diversity and inclusion are good for our business. It’s more fundamental than that — it’s simply right.”
“These are enduring values for us,” he concluded, “and nothing will change that.”
Why is this evil penis head so allegedly loving of diversity? Oh right, because of this...
https://observer.com/2020/04/amazon-whole-foods-anti-union-technology-heat-map/
Shades of Big Brother are looming over Whole Foods, once thought to be a pioneer of healthy workplace culture. According to internal documents seen by Business Insider, the Amazon-owned supermarket chain has been using an interactive heat map to monitor its 510 locations across the U.S. and assign each store a unionization risk score based on such criteria as employee loyalty, turnover rate and racial diversity.
Whole Foods employs roughly 95,000 people nationwide. Data collected in the heat map suggest that stores with low racial and ethnic diversity, especially those located in poor communities, are more likely to unionize.

I think companies should just take care enough of their employees so they don’t feel the need to unionize.
My fingers are too numb from ice fishing to goggle it but I was always under the impression Amazon compensated well compared to peers for jobs requiring similar skills.
If that’s true I don’t think unionizing is a good idea because any incremental gains will probably just end up going to the unions rather than the workers.
If that’s not true and Bezos isn’t compensating fairly and won’t negotiate then fuck Bezos and unionize. I don’t agree that he should overpay for labor just because his company is making money hand over fist because it won’t last forever. Bezos himself has said he fully expects Amazon to inevitably fail.
With the labor market being the way it is and thinking about where Amazon has positioned their facilities, I imagine Amazon could replace a very large percentage of their employees very quickly.
But a strike would definitely fuck them up big time because timeliness is such a cornerstone of the business.

Unions operate best as a tool of fear to prevent exploitation more than anything. Amazon currently has an effective monopoly (omitting a long legal/economic discussion). One of the few things that threatens that status is a workforce that can go on strike and shut the company down. They could fire everybody much easier than, say, an auto plant, but the lag and resulting customer service learning curve opens a door for competing middlemen online retailers.

This representative managed a rare feat -- pissing off people on both sides at the same time (Bigfoot community believers & deniers). I'd say it was a publicity stunt, but the election is over for now. Good to know elected officials in other states are also prioritizing the big problems their constituents face. That aside, the proposed bill serves no real purpose -- not exactly a first for politics -- regardless of whether one is a Bigfoot believer or denier. Even without the such a permit, is there a hunter (armed with a rifle) who *wouldn't* shoot if he/she had a close encounter with Bigfoot? The notoriety, possible fortune, collecting evidence for the scientific community, likelihood of being in fear for safety/life, etc., all suggest to me shooting Bigfoot would happen if such a close encounter took place. And I doubt a hunting license would be revoked under such circumstances.
I wonder if the Oklahoma representative is related to the person in this case:

“And yet again this week, less than a month after a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that was incited by Trump.”
This particular quote in that article is disturbing. It’s a completely false statement that isn’t “fact checked” or banned/taken down from being distributed. It’s propaganda and irresponsible “journalism.”
And they wonder why there’s millions of people that don’t trust and wanna overthrow our government.... 🤔

There was destruction of federal property and deaths then too. Didn’t see any censorship or trial for them then. Things that make ya go 🤔

We should just accept violence and insurrection because Judy can't find links he's not looking for on the internet.

Regarding this Trump thing.
If we accept the premise that Trump told them to "fight" but when he said that, it was a metaphor, and he wanted them to go to the Capitol and protest "peacefully"....
He was giving this speech to a topless dude with face paint and a racoon hat with big horns, amongst the rest of the rabble at his rally.
If he didn't understand that those people don't quite understand what a metaphor is, he shouldn't be impeached for insurrection, he should be impeached for stupidity

I’ve seen all those clips and it doesn’t make it true. AOC and Omar condemned De Blasio (political target) not the rioters. They spun it and made it about him being the bad guy lol. It’s all political theater.
Harris knows there’s violence going on in the protests and she encourages it in the video with Colbert. I mean if you guys can have double standards....Hell she was even bailing them out. I also find it amusing that she talked about trying to reform the system while she was a prosecutor in California. Yet she incarcerated more African Americans than ever before and even lied to keep them in prison.
We all know what the media is trying to do. It’s atrocious. Follow the money.
For 4 straight years Democrats cried about the Russian hoax, 2016 election fraud/interference and couldn’t accept the facts, or him being a racist (as debunked above). So let’s talk about those conspiracy theories. Yet they were never censored or taken down off social media as false. Or ignored for that matter. Now all the sudden it’s being done to the conservative side. Again, things that make ya go 🤔

Trump fired Republican James Comey. Republican Jeff Sessions recused himself. Republican Rod Rosenstein appointed Republican Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"As set forth in detail in this report, the Special Counsel’s investigation established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election principally through two operations. First, a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Second, a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations against entities, employees, and volunteers working on the Clinton Campaign and then released stolen documents. The investigation also identified numerous links between the Russian government and the Trump Campaign. Although the investigation established that the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities." https://www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf

That’s a pretty important piece there. I’m sure if there is/was a four year witch-hunt like with Trump, we’d/will find Chinese interference helping Biden in 2020. After all, he and his son are in bed with them. You’ve gotta be much more worried about China than you do the Russians.

This made me think of Trump's Ukraine phone call that led to his first impeachment. In that one, Trump used foreign aid to bribe / threaten / cajole foreign officials into announcing a public investigation into Joe Biden and his son. The effort was foiled by a whistleblower. Ironically, the lack of success became part of Trump's defense.

Well they can “suggest” all they want. And the only reason he was impeached in the House was because Democrats had a majority. Another political stunt. It got squashed in the Senate and they knew it would.

No, our elections are not worse than 3rd world countries. Republicans would like to have elections like they do them in Russia though.
There is no evidence that dead people and illegals are voting. Trump and his people looked hard for fraud and couldn't find anything significant. There is always going to be minor stuff, like the old lady who voted in her deceased husband's name, or the son who mistakenly used his late father's registration (they have the same name and address.
Republicans want to suppress the vote because lower turnout in more densely populated urban areas helps them. It's not just ID. They want to restrict mail-in voting and ballot collection.

I understand why Judy and other small town rednecks assume that everyone has a photo ID (and even one that would satisfy a poll watcher).
But I'm the executor of an estate in which the decedent had no valid photo ID. The only recent photo ID was a transit card, which makes sense if you live in a city.
Bumpkins get everywhere in their pick-up trucks. So naturally they carry a driver's license. Solipsism leads them to believe all normal people have one.
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that people should prove their identity before voting. But the fact is that they do. I've never shown an ID, but my signature matches, and they look.
Funnily enough, the Republican establishment of Champaign County never bothered to purge the dead from its voter rolls. I've seen them. Lots of dead people.
The GOP held both the Coroner's office and the County Clerkship for decades. For some reason, they never removed those dead, erstwhile elderly white reliably Republican voters from the rolls. Weird, huh?

No photo ID?! Wtf is this, the 1700’s?! Who said it has to be a driver’s license? There are ID cards. Yeah because nobody can forge a signature lol. We were getting somewhere when you stated it’s not unreasonable to prove your identity. Not sure how a signature with no ID does that. Especially with mail-in voting. How the fuck you even know who filled out the fucking thing?! :o

In the sense of double standards. Do as I say, not as I do. Ron Paul flew first class at our expense. Ayn Rand received SS and Medicare benefits.
I think a mix of mail-in, in person early voting, drop boxes, ballot collection, and traditional election day voting worked pretty well; so there is no rationale for a double standard.

As it should be everywhere. Yet somehow in 2021 people don’t even have IDs. I’m sure you’ll find someway to blame this on Trump too. If you notice these urban areas, you’ll see most of them are Democrats running things. Yet they never get blamed for holding people down and failed systems such as schools and widespread poverty.
I mean look at what’s going on right now with the CPS and union. Where the taxpayer money going that is suppose to be for these schools? All mismanaged and gone.

I vaguely remember the pits west of Champaign. Dudes were not very modest way back in the day. Girls generally wore suits that I recall.
Edison Jr. High (now Middle School) made the boys swim naked for PE through 1966. Suits were optional for a few years after that, then required at some point. Not that PE classes were segregated by sex. It was called sex back then, not gender. Boys also took group showers.
Heard boys also swam naked in boys only classes at the local Champaign YMCA though about 1962. I took lessons there when I was very young, but do not remember.
The reasoning was suits spread diseases and the fibers clogged up the filtration. They had to make an exception for female modesty, but real men didn't care. At some point, chlorination and nylon suits would have defeated the supposed purpose.
Then there was also this in March of 1974:

Unilever drops word 'normal' from beauty products
The word "normal" is typically used on shampoos, conditioners and face products, such as for "normal or oily skin".
But Roshida Khanom of market research firm Mintel said: "'Normal' is such a loaded term because it indicates that there is an 'abnormal' and it doesn't actually describe anything, so it's about time that the term is dropped."
"Young people in particular are shifting the conversation - the traditional notions of beauty no longer hold up for Generation Z, who see beauty as accepting and owning your imperfections," she said.
Instead of the word "normal", Unilever will use different descriptors for customers looking for particular qualities in their beauty products. Shampoo for "normal to dry" hair, for example, will soon be labelled for "dry and damaged" hair.
Unilever said on Tuesday it would also take a number of other steps in an attempt to promote "a new era of beauty that's inclusive, equitable and sustainable".
It committed to increase the number of adverts portraying people from under-represented groups and use more natural and biodegradable ingredients across its range of products.
wow, thanks PLC Unilever, you are so compassionate and caring you really make me want to spend money on your PRODUCT
now... I just have to figure out what head & shoulders I am supposed to use since the word 'normal' is apparently discriminatory or something

A pensioner was given a police warning after she had a socially distanced cup of tea with her neighbours in their communal garden.
Officers turned up at the 82-year-old’s sheltered housing complex home at 9.45pm to question her about the incident – after she’d settled into bed to watch television.
They told her she had been reported for drinking tea outside with her neighbours, in breach of coronavirus lockdown restrictions.

The AP article doesn't mention the CCP, who wants to be the world military and economic power, told Blinken that the US should mind It's own business, stay out of China's business, and that the US shouldn't be acting as if it is in a position of strength.
In other words, get outta here with that stuff and work on your own problems.
The AP article doesn't show that video.
Blinken put the CCP in its place makes for a better story.
And not a mention of a virus that has devastated the world. That should have been the opening issue.

China “wants to be a world military and economy power.” Who knew?
The China diplomat tells “Blinken that the US should mind its own business, stay out of China's business, and that the US shouldn't be acting as if it is in a position of strength.” Those Chinese officials are saying mean things to us. The horror! The horror!
Well…both sides came out throwing punches at the meeting. It’s hard to say how much of the public back-and-forth was theatrics for each country’s home audiences versus messaging to each other. I think it’s better to lay it out, express some honest thoughts and positions, step away, then move back to the table and try to create real agreements based on reality and not some fake pretend relationship.
Oh, and here’s another article that provides balanced information about the meeting. It outlines several actions the Biden administration is considering for confronting China. OMG, it also reports that Biden officials are conferring with Republicans on China-related matters.
‘Fundamentally at odds’: China, U.S. retreat to their corners after Alaska talks
“’There are a number of areas where we are fundamentally at odds,’ U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said as the last session drew to a close Friday, ‘including China’s actions in Xinjiang, with regard to Hong Kong, Tibet, increasingly Taiwan, as well as actions that it is taking in cyberspace. And it’s no surprise that when we raised those issues clearly and directly, we got a defensive response.”
“Blinken told Chinese officials that the U.S. would continue to speak out about Beijing’s crackdowns in Hong Kong and on Uighur Muslims, along with other points of contentions. Despite China’s insistence that these are internal matters, they threaten the rules-based international order, Blinken said, making them fair game for American comment and action.”
“The Biden administration is looking at taking actions in the next few weeks to punish China over what U.S. officials say is a genocidal campaign against Uighur Muslims in its Xinjiang region, according to a China analyst in touch with Biden administration officials. The actions will likely include new economic sanctions and could also involve some coordinated measures with countries in Europe which, too, are alarmed by the Xinjiang crisis.”
“Earlier this week…the U.S. issued subpoenas on multiple Chinese companies that, according to the Commerce Department, ‘provide information and communications technology and services in the United States.’ The move signaled a potential crackdown on Chinese companies that could pose what the administration sees as a national security risk to America.”

The origins of the virus should have been the 1st talking point. But no.
Instead, the world has no idea how the virus started and the CCP is keeping it that way.
The CCP came to U.S. soil and told us in front of media that we shouldn't be thinking we are in a position of strength.

But, but, but...according to our former president, China was forthcoming and worked hard to prevent the pandemic.
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!” (Jan 24, 2020)
"I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can." (Feb 7, 2020)
“Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days … Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!” (Feb 7, 2020)
"I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard." (Feb 10, 2020)
“China is working very, very hard. I have spoken to President Xi, and they’re working very hard. And if you know anything about him, I think he’ll be in pretty good shape. They’re — they’ve had a rough patch, and I think right now they have it — it looks like they’re getting it under control more and more. They’re getting it more and more under control.” (Feb 26, 2020)
“I spoke with President Xi. We had a great talk. He’s working very hard, I have to say. He’s working very, very hard. And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller.” (Feb 27, 2020)

At least Biden wasn’t dumb enough to start a trade war with China and get his ass handed to him.

https://www.newsweek.com/twitter-says-calling-boulder-shooter-white-christian-terrorist-ok-1578284
A tweet describing Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the suspected gunman in Monday's Colorado supermarket shooting, as a "white Christian terrorist" does not violate the social network's misinformation policies, Twitter told Newsweek.
Many Twitter users assumed the shooter was white before his name was released by police in Boulder, Colorado. Several pointed to the massacre as another example of racial injustice and white supremacy in the United States, coming a few days after a white man killed six Asian women in an Atlanta shooting spree.
Those tweets backfired when police named Alissa, whose family immigrated from Syria and whose now-deleted Facebook pages suggested he was a Muslim. Many conservatives accused the left-wing Twitter users of race-baiting.
Some users have deleted their tweets calling him white. Others have defended their claims, saying they were based on Alissa's skin color rather than his ethnicity.
Newsweek put the misleading posts to Twitter. The social network has been accused of left-wing bias and anti-Christian prejudice in the way it polices speech on its platform.
In January, for example, Twitter locked the account of The Catholic Review, apparently for tweeting an article that described assistant Health and Human Services Secretary Rachel Levine as "a biological man identifying as a transgender woman."
A Twitter spokeswoman said the "white Christian terrorist" tweet and other false posts did not violate its rules.
"The Tweets referenced are not in violation of the Twitter Rules," the spokesperson told Newsweek in an email. "We will not take action on every instance of misinformation. Currently, our misinformation rules cover COVID-19 misinformation, synthetic and manipulated media and civic integrity."

https://thepostmillennial.com/oxford-university-may-stop-teaching-sheet-music-because-of-its-complicity-in-white-supremacy
The University of Oxford has taken the Black Lives Matter movement to heart, and as such is considering a plan to scrap sheet music, notation, and the classical music that was scored upon it. Sheet music is now considered "too colonial," while Beethoven and Mozart, and music curriculums in general, are believed to have "complicity in white supremacy."
Musical notation is believed now to be part of a "colonialist representational system." The changes are being proposed to undergraduate level courses and the goal is to "decolonize" music study. These professors are intent on addressing "white hegemony," according to the Telegraph.
The professors argue that the teaching of musical notation would be a "slap in the face" for students because notation "has not 'shaken off its connection to its colonial past." Music study, moving forward, has been "earmarked for a rebranding to be more inclusive."

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2021/mar/24/super-freeing-mens-skirts-emerge-as-pandemic-fashion-trend
For men who want to ditch their tie-dye tops and sweatpants post-pandemic but keep the comfort, a surprising new trend has emerged: the skirt.
Skirts have been included in the autumn/winter collections of Stefan Cooke, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Burberry and Jaden Smith’s MSFTSrep label, while longer skirts have been worn by the rappers Post Malone and Bad Bunny and the singer Yungblud. But it was Harry Styles on the pages of US Vogue who cemented the trend (in a Wales Bonner knitted skirt and a Comme des Garçons kilt), following other notable male skirt/dress moments (David Bowie on the cover of The Man Who Sold the World, Mick Jagger at Hyde Park, Kanye West in a Givenchy leather skirt).
The trend is indicative of how the pandemic has unshackled men from their dress codes. And what’s more freeing to your legs than a skirt?

If 30 of the top 50 players in the world bypass the Masters but they still hold the tourney, the Masters will put a pretty big stain on their brand.
They tried for a very long time to hold the line on their archaic policies - they ran the tourney without sponsors to put off admitting women.
But running a tourney with a field of 20 isn't going to work very well for them.

1) I'll agree with the article Naiomi wrote that the "solutions" to the worlds problems that are being proposed are terrifying and literally ripped out of dystopian novels... these ideas most of the time however are just copied ideas from the old Soviet Union - vaccine passports - Propiska they were called in Soviet russia
whats next, yellow stars? a quick search on the googles makes this right here the first result... holy fuck it reads like straight up propaganda... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/03/30/dont-believe-conservative-fearmongering-over-vaccine-passports/ pretty sad being composed by a Jewish guy...
2) I don't think most of the ordinary people pushing this shit are inherently bad people, their ideas are just terrifying and they just aren't smart enough to see the consequences of their proposals that are being run through them by higher ups. Technology HAS made life better and will continue to make life better, but this weird computer/human hybrid life they are talking about where people don't have their own interests or free thought to do what the computer reccomends is insanity
3) Billionaires and other world leaders are in on this shit together and every time they see some country or business grabbing power/money somehow it gives them ideas on how to do it as well... you think its a fucking coincidence that Jeff Bezos bought a newspaper because he just really loves money losing dinosaur businesses... he doesn't care if it loses money, he just needs to spit out whatever message will make him more powerful and wealthy. And having dealt with a few recently divorced narcissist men at my job before, holy fuck these people are insane and will do anything to get their wealth back.
4) anyway - a straight up technocracy like these people are referring to is just insanely terrifying... I have found great happiness getting the fuck out of the concrete jungle of Chicagoland and reconnecting with nature and wilderness - and most humans would do best to spend much much MUCH less time with a screen in front of their faces, it makes them depressed, low energy, have hormone loss, anti-social behavior, etc. Humans for nearly our entire history spent time outside in the sun, with nature. It is not natural to sit in your house all day talking over zoom calls or interacting virtually. Oh yeah - take some vitamin D3 as we never get enough today even if you live in a sunny climate, helps a lot!
5) too much to unpack regarding this video - I'm out of time - but I do agree with most of what he's saying - the great reset isn't going to make life for everyone better - its going to make life for rich fucks a lot better - everyone else can fuck off (which is kind of how its always been)

I worked there in the early 90's for about 10 months. You'd see the occasional trucker roll in with some skank hanging on him, but the owners tried hard to make it more of a family atmosphere. It's not like you see hookers walking around from truck to truck, although I'm sure it happens. The more alarming thing was seeing these drivers (not many, but still) come in on speed doing their Corey Hart imitation.
It's really quite impressive, as far as truckstops go. Clean. Back in the day, they'd have a chiro, dentist, showers, family restaurant, fast food, huge chrome shop, truck wash, service center, etc. It's massive. It was a learning experience as to how much shit costs. That's an expensive industry.

Could be consistent if he believes that the offender should not have been released at all. Either you should be able to be out pending trial, or you shouldn't - and that shouldn't be a function of how much cash you can scratch up.
Now, if this guy was released within the scope of what we believe he shouldn't be held, then this legislator should shut up.

You compared the right to vote with opening an online payment account.
Things that require an ID can generally be done online or by mail.

"In fact, it may be a decade or more before the U.S. can safely entrust the internet with the selection of its lawmakers and presidents, according to some experts. Still, a handful of states are pushing ahead, with the encouragement of one politically connected tech entrepreneur — and the tempting logic of the question, “If we can bank online, why can’t we vote the same way?”
Who is this "politically connected tech entrepreneur", you ask ?
https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-campaign-for-mobile-phone-voting-is-getting-a-midterm-test
Chuck Schumer and Michael Bloomberg can probably answer that.
"Bradley Tusk has a plan to fix American democracy. A former high-level staffer for Chuck Schumer and Michael Bloomberg, among others, Tusk has recently been using his political wits to help tech companies sidestep red tape and clear regulatory hurdles. As he recounts in his new book, “The Fixer: My Adventures Saving Startups from Death by Politics,” Tusk has—for better or for worse—convinced authorities across the country to let Uber operate in their cities, figured out how to get the San Jose City Council to allow on-demand home delivery for marijuana, and toppled regulations banning the sale of online homeowners and renters’ insurance. When Uber, the first tech client of his fledgling consulting firm, didn’t have enough cash to pay him, Tusk took half his compensation in equity. As a consequence, he said, “I just got more money than I ever expected to have.”
Now Tusk, who is forty-five, is parlaying his Silicon Valley experience, and the fortune he made in the process, searching for a way to make it easier for people to vote.
..... the organization aims to crack the nut of voting by mobile phone, something computer scientists have been trying to do, unsuccessfully and in various ways, for the past two decades.
On its face, voting by phone makes sense. Nearly ninety-five per cent of American adults own mobile phones, and rely on them for all sorts of secure transactions. Using them to cast a ballot would seem to be a natural extension, and one that removes many of the impediments that discourage people from voting, such as inconveniently located polling places, limited hours, and long lines."

Rob Manfred gets a letter from Marco Rubio where Rubio says he has no illusions that Manfred will give up his membership to Augusta National.
The MLB All Star game may go to Coors Field. Pete Coors is listed in Wikipedia as also being an Augusta member.
It looks like Colorado has the lowest percentage of blacks of any state with an MLB franchise.

I love how the Dems say they’re all for minorities and MLB then pulls the game from an AA community and takes it to one of the whitest communities in baseball to benefit from the business/income. It’s a classic way to “say” they’re for minorities, but they know people are too stupid to actually look at the actions. Dems been doing it for decades. Give ‘em a little handout here and there and they’ll keep coming back thinking they’re winning by supporting their candidates. Keep them in poverty all while telling them how much they’re helping them lol. The AA community is gonna be a super minority here soon to the Hispanic/Latino population.

Good comparison of voting in CO vs GA.
Why did CO get the game?
First off, professional sports moguls don't give a rat's ass about politics unless it hurts or helps the bottom line. The move from ATL was strictly a business decision.
Coors was slated to get the game (pre-covid) in 2022. So, it's our turn, prep had already begun, and there are ZERO access to voting issues in our state in which every voter gets mailed a ballot.
The Monfort family, which owns the Rox, are not deep pockets compared to most other owners. Being a small TV market, they get a large % of income from in person attendance which didn't happen last year. That was a big hit for them evidenced by selling their, arguably best player in franchise history, in his prime, to the Cards in a purely money move. The fans aren't happy having owners that view it as a business not a plaything. Again, another business decision to send the game here.
So America's pass time, making a statement in the midst of a pandemic, that calls out this obvious attempt at voter suppression, is not not good for business? GMAFB!

Small percentages operating on very large numbers is a lot of people.
Imagine the National Hurricane Center issuing the following warning:
“Hurricane [insert name here] will make landfall in the Miami area tomorrow, there is a 99% survival rate so don’t take any precautions and we are sorry in advance for the 60,000 that we will likely lose their lives.”
Or imagine this weather alert from an emergency preparedness and response official for a smaller rural county located in a “tornado alley.”
“An EF-5 tornado is approaching, but there is a 99% survival rate. It won’t be necessary for you to turn on your weather radios. You can also ignore the outdoor sirens and forget about taking shelter. Only 100 or so people may lose their lives so get over the fear.”
Simple math shows that unchecked spread of the COVID-19 would kill an unacceptable number of people and create a overwhelming burden on the health care system.
And that doesn’t even account for long-term consequences of infection.

Jim Crow 3.0
The state that prides itself on voter turnout election after election after election.
Mn requirement for early voting required only 5 hours of weekend voting for 2020, from 10-3 on Sat before the election.
What's Ga now ? 4 days of 9-5, and includes at least 1 Sunday ?
People stood in line for hours in Mn in Nov. All I remember was 'it's worth it to vote'. But then people stand in line for hours to be the first one in the door at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Same old same old we do it every year. People can't get tickets for opening day and the ballpark may be 1/4 full the next day. But it's opening day.

Mn doesn't really use ballot boxes. 'Out state' ( rural ) counties that rely on mail in voting may use monitored ballot boxes. Minneapolis had 1 at the government center in downtown Minneapolis for the 440,000 Minneapolis residents.
Mn does not automatically register voters. The voter is responsible and an id is required, which everybody has anyway unless you live in Georgia and have no idea to get one. Actually, there may be a couple of Minnesota residents without an id, and to register requires mailing in a paper application that goes thru a process not indicated in the SOS website.
Mn does allow same day registration, but bring everything you have if you don't have an id. Bring your utility bills, a note from your landlord, or someone to vouch for you. They'll accept something.
N.Y. had 9 days of early voting in 2020. Ga is 17-19, which I believe is more than Colorado.
Delaware didn't have no excuse absentee ballot voting in 2020. They're debating it currently. Ga now has it.

This is not about voter suppression. It's about getting ready for HR1.
Your whole post is predicated upon the notion that we, as a country, should not attempt to make it easier to vote, no matter how hard or easy it is to vote. More to the point in Georgia, it's not incumbent upon us to make it equally as easy to vote.
When I went to vote in person in 2018, I went in at 2 PM and was the 8th person my precinct had served the entire day. It's mind boggling that you can't wrap your head around the concept that it's clearly easier for me to vote than the people we see standing in lines. And to understand that because of this, no matter how much dedication those people have, there is no way they will get the same percentage turnout as my precinct will have. And that this is a bad thing.
I think it gets down to the misuse of the term "Suppression" - we hear that word and think of "people being suppressed". But in the concept of voter suppression, it's more like spraying roundup on a field. You won't get every weed, but you'll reduce the overall amount of weeds, to the point where the corn grows fine. That's the point, sure, they *can* vote, and many will. The point isn't to stop every single african american in Georgia from voting.
The point is to just make it a little bit harder. Can't make it radically harder, otherwise the Supreme Court will nuke it. Just little tiny things - because we don't need the turnout to go to zero, we just need the turnout to go from 55% to 52%, just enough to swing the election.
Pathetic.

This is not about voter suppression. It's about getting ready for HR1.
The GA reduces the time absentee ballots can be requested.
Drop boxes now must be located at the office of the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk or inside locations where early voting is taking place. This is a change when many boxes were located outside during the 2020 election. The boxes cannot be accessed when early voting is not happening. Numerous outside boxes were used in Fulton County (Atlanta).
Voting can only take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. during weekdays. The law does require two Saturday voting days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., with option to add two Sunday voting days by election registrars.
The Secretary of State no longer serves as a member of the election board.
These changes were not made due to any EVIDENCE of fraud - because any shred of EVIDENCE of fraud would have been raised in the numerous lawsuits filed by Trump - they were made solely to supress minority voters.

So why is the first state legislative activity in 2021 for most red states to make it more inaccessible? Some have said it's a solution in search of a problem. I disagree. They know what their problem is and are trying to make it go away.
Yep.

This is probably fairly true, though poorly worded, depending on how young adult is defined.
I am curious why conservatives focus so much on 'survival rate' '-- terminology which, btw, they misuse. Is this based on the notion that anything that does not kill us somehow makes us stronger?

The GA reduces the time absentee ballots can be requested.
Drop boxes now must be located at the office of the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk or inside locations where early voting is taking place. This is a change when many boxes were located outside during the 2020 election. The boxes cannot be accessed when early voting is not happening. Numerous outside boxes were used in Fulton County (Atlanta).
Voting can only take place between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. during weekdays. The law does require two Saturday voting days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., with option to add two Sunday voting days by election registrars.

Early ballots can be requested 11 weeks before an election. Is that before debates start ?
Ballot boxes weren't legal before the 2020 election. They are now, and they're permanent.
There may be an issue with 400,000 ballot box votes and chain of custody records. Monitoring of the boxes is the result of the outside boxes.
Voting is during normal business hours. Minnesota is normal business hours. The law also allows for 7-7 voting.
The Georgia 2020 vote is still in the courts. A judge allowed for a full audit. The SoS petitioned the court, asking the court to allow an audit of only the ballot marked ballots and not the paper ballots.
Georgia now has no excuse absentee voting.
Georgia vote participation was better than the national average, in spite of the state having nothing but a bunch of dumb fuqs who don't have ids and don't know how to use a computer.
Jim Crow 2.0 was an Abrams mistake that backfired, and Abrams is now saying don't boycott Georgia. Georgia stands to lose $100 million plus. Time will tell how the voters treat Abrams.
A state with better than the national average in voter participation expanded voting capabilities with no excuse absentee voting and weekend voting.
Could it be better ? Could be.
President Unity and MLB should have stayed out of this, imo.

Why was GA's participation higher? Maybe because they made it easier to actually, uh, vote? This is all ridiculous and disingenuous. We all know why they did all this. Because you Trumpers are crybaby sore losers who don't want black people to vote. Fuck that Gov. Kemp guy with Judge Judy's small dick. So you want to change the rules to make it harder to vote, despite Trump's inability to find a single shred of evdience to support his lawsuits (just like Gore had zilch besides "hanging chads" in 2000 despite all the stories floating around). It would be more honorable if you guys just stiop lying about why you are trying to do all this.
The MLB only got involved because the players and Dave Roberts were not going to show for the All-Star game. Apparently it is fine for business to "get involved" when handing money over to Moscow Mitch or Pedo Matt Gaetz, but when it goes the other way....WAHHHHHHHHHHH!

Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have the vote counted.
If Dave Roberts doesn't want to read the bill, that's up to him. He can do whatever he wants.

How do you know he didn't read the bill? Maybe he thinks they should switch back to longer hours for voting, so people can vote before or after work, and be able to drop their vote off in a drop box. What are you guys scared of? (We know the answer to that...)

Minnesota had normal business hours for early voting. I think the only weekend voting was Sat before the election. There was not a peep about vote suppression and Minnesota led the country in voter turnout. Minnesota patted itself on its back.

Brutal. This is not Abrams fault. Any leader with a functioning brain could have seen that passing this bill would have this sort of backlash. They voted it in and Kemp signed it anyway. Holy crap, they got caught bluffing and lost, and now they are yelling at the people with a Royal Flush for calling their bluff.

I think the worst part of Georgia’s new voting law are the provisions that "create new avenues for partisan interference in election administration."
2020 taught the GOP that elections can be stolen because they came close to overturning legal election results, if only they had a few key people in place in a few key states.

Presumably Minnesota doesn't have the bullshit polling place coverage that Georgia did.
It's this simple
Question: Are there lines of over 30 minutes to vote?
If the answer is yes, then the state needs to fix it so that never happens. A 8 hour line to vote is a poll tax, as far as I am concerned, time is money. If that line is not consistent across polls voting in the same election, it's dirty pool, before we get into the an 8 hour line being more costly for a poor person working an hourly job than a salaried employee who probably gets a dispensation to vote, or a retiree who isn't working.

Edit- you linked the CNN article and it’s the same as NYT. Not a single mention of Phillips. And now that it’s all known, they have not said a single thing about it. Agendas. They were hoping and praying it was a white male. Preferably an extremist Trump supporter who has all kinds of guns. GTFO of here with your defending these POS “news” outlets.

Yes, I thought that was the gist of your complaint.
Here's the thing about serious news outlets: They don't publish accusations of mass murder without confirmation from reliable sources.
If the medical examiner is withholding the name, they have no reliable source to cite.

Ga had good turnout in large part because Abrams was able to get people out to the polls, using voting mechanisms that the GA legislature has now limited.
Pretty sad that CA had better turnout than Georgia given we had no meaningful statewide races, on the margin. The most important vote - on the margin - that I made was probably some bullshit state ballot measure.

The Jataka Tales are mythical stories about the Buddha's past lives. There are several apocryphal versions of a story about his life as a King named Candraprabha who gives his own life in various ways to protect, save, or heal others. In one obscure version, he cuts off his own head as a gift to a greedy Brahmin. The Brahmins (Vedic priests) are generally the bad guys in the Jataka Tales. The commentaries usually make it clear that these kind of stories are like fables intended to illustrate selflessness, generosity, and compassionate service to others. Some lineages tend to take them more literally than others.

My only question is how would you even enforce this?! How would the law/government even know you had this conversation? It’d be your word against another’s unless someone is spying or secretly recording it. Even a family member recording it can be dismissed on the basis you could deny that it’s your voice on the recording. Very strange/odd to even bring this up and it making news.

Is Having A Baby In 2021 Pure Environmental Vandalism?
Is having a child an act of environmental vandalism or an investment in the future? Is it possible to live an ecologically responsible life while adding yet another person to our overstretched planet? Can I get away with it if I just never learn to drive, never get a dog and keep wearing the same three pairs of jeans for the rest of my life?
For the scientifically-engaged person, there are few questions more troubling when looking at the current climate emergency than that of having a baby. Whether your body throbs to reproduce, you passively believe that it is on the cards for you one day, or you actively seek to remain child-free, the declining health of the planet cannot help but factor in your thinking. Before I got pregnant, I worried feverishly about the strain on the earth’s resources that another Western child would add. The food he ate, the nappies he wore, the electricity he would use; before he’d even started sitting up, my child would have already contributed far more to climate change than his counterpart in, say, Kerala or South Sudan. But I also worried about the sort of world that I would bring my child into – where we have perhaps just another 60 harvests left before our overworked soil gives out and we are running out of fresh water. Could I really have a baby, knowing that by the time he was my father’s age, he may be living on a dry and barren earth?

Most of this is malarkey. Some is rooted in partial truths, but things happened.
There was what was called the green revolution. Note green meant something else back then. It involved the use of fertilizers and pesticides etc to increase food production..
Also, the Nixon era clean air and water acts/ EPA. Reducing sulfur dioxide and other forms of pollution has made a heckuva difference. Lake Erie is not on fire. There are fish in the Chicago River.
50 years ago there was some debate over whether particulate type pollution would cause global cooling, or green house gases would cause global warming. By about 1979 or so, the cooling theory had been dumped for a number of reasons.

California water officials on Thursday reported the statewide snowpack is just 59% of average for this time of year as the state continues to experience one of the driest years on record.
It’s the second straight year of low numbers, after the Department of Water Resources recorded a reading of 53% on April 1 a year ago. The back-to-back low measurements could mean the return of summer drought conditions and water-use restrictions for the first time since 2016.
-

Fires in the mountains only tangentially are a function of the winter snowpack.
The issue lately has been that the spring/early summer has been so warm that the snow has melted super fast, providing heat and water for big early growth for the trees and underbrush. Then the snow runs out because it melted early, shit dies, then burns.

In the case of the California wildfires, it’s both.
Climate Change Is Central to California’s Wildfires
“Conservative pundits who tout land management as the main issue fail to see the big picture.”
“...fuel treatments alone are not the solution; we cannot disregard that our contributions to climate change continue to aggravate our risk.”
“The science is clear. Climate change plays an undeniable role in the unprecedented wildfires of recent years. More than half of the acres burned each year in the western United States can be attributed to climate change. The number of dry, warm, and windy autumn days—perfect wildfire weather—in California has more than doubled since the 1980s.”

2020 was the worst fire season ever in Colorado. Dry weather/lack of moisture combined with vast swaths of beetle killed trees were the ingredients. The beetles flourished because the mountains don't get the prolonged deep freezes that have historically occurred to keep them in check.

California has a 75 Billion dollar surplus due to excess revenues because our economy has done well despite the pandemic, half of that money is being sent directly back to taxpayers as a stimulus payment.

The largest portion of the California economy is financial services including Real Estate
Then professional and business services, then Government, then Manufacturing, and finally Information Technology in 5th
Entertainment represents only a couple percent of our economy.
We do have a very large company headquartered in Mountain View, it's called "Google". You should check it out sometime, it's pretty neat.
-
Wait...the tech and entertainment capital of the world made out like a bandit during the 14 months in which people worldwide were mandated to stay home and thus use technology to entertain themselves?
The source of the surplus is still being debated, a lot of current wisdom is that there were a lot of real estate transactions, producing a lot of fees and taxable capital gains events. And the short term real estate rental market went ballistic with people spending weeks and months in remote areas. That is income, which is taxable at a state level.
Local budgets on the other hand, have been hit because sales taxes at restaurants are down, but this is mitigated somewhat in that the real estate transactions have created an increase in property taxes.

You don't see the irony of throwing shade at California succeeding during the pandemic just because we had the advantage of growing the 7th largest economy prior to COVID. We should have been a dumpster fire instead
-
I’m not throwing shade at California, I’m throwing shade on you for touting a budget surplus as proof the economy wasn’t hurt by draconian lockdown measures.
The primary drivers of the California economy were largely unaffected and some even benefitted from the pandemic. But it also devastated many small businesses and lower class working people while people with tech jobs flourished and refinanced their ever more ridiculously valuable homes at ridiculously low interest rates and/or purchased investment properties with that cheap money.
I mean...no wonder you want to hold on to COVID. You’re making money hand over fist, you get to virtue signal about case rates and vaccines, and you probably didn’t even have a social life to begin with.
I say this as someone who draws the majority of his income from a tech company based in San Marcos and took advantage of these situations like any reasonably intelligent person would. But I have a lot of empathy for the people who experienced real hardship be it physically, mentally, or financially, and wish there had been a more reasonable solution for them.
Think of the little people, Murph. One thing is clear: The rich got richer and the poor got poorer. But hey you probably don’t mind some tax dollars pouring into homeless tent towns in SF as long as they aren’t camping in the lawn of your McMansion in Healdsburg or your investment property at Tahoe, right?
For the record this is all for the sake of discussion.

Newsom isn't Modi. The only universe where our lockdown was draconian is the FOX News Universe.
I guess it only seems draconian to shut down bars if you live in places where it's either 100 degrees or 0 degrees. I mean, I miss live music and bars too, but beaches and hiking are better for you anyway (at least the beaches not packed with slobbering drunken 20 year olds - on our beaches they'd end up drowning), and nobody had live music, tailgating at NFL games. For all the whining about haircuts, my wife and I cut each other's hair and people in states with on and off opening of hair salons were all growing pandemic hairdos anyway. Wow, you had to get take out instead of eating at a restaurant. Schools were closed nationwide.
I really have failed to see the value added that the states that didn't do a "draconian" shutdown got.

But it also devastated many small businesses and lower class working people while people with tech jobs flourished and refinanced their ever more ridiculously valuable homes at ridiculously low interest rates and/or purchased investment properties with that cheap money.
As I noted, 40% of all jobs added in the US since February have been in CA.
If by your thesis, the illuminati tech workers were unaffected, who are the people filling all those jobs?
The places that muddled along and are still muddling along, are not rebounding. The restaurants in the valley are doing monster business now, because with the low rates (down to 4/100k) and high vaccine adoption, the sector of the population that is afraid to go out has dwindled to near zero. My sister was in Vegas last week - says it's all open but it feels like a ghost town. I've been at both Castro Street and HBG Plaza this week, most people who aren't eating are still masked up but business is running ahead of 2019 levels, with the added seating outdoors via street closures (granted this isn't simple to do if your weather is crappy).
You can't do a Modi style lockdown but you can't be doing beer bongs on the beach either.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9585165/Oxford-University-teach-imperial-measurements-tied-idea-Empire.html
Oxford University reportedly plans to teach that imperial measurements are 'tied deeply to the idea of the Empire' in a bid to make science courses less 'Eurocentric'.
The University has suggested imperial measurements, including the mile, inch, pound and ounce, should be 'decolonised' due to its links to the British Empire.
Decolonising plans by Oxford's maths, physics and life sciences departments suggest the teaching of the measurements in the curriculum may change, according to The Telegraph.
It comes after a pledge from Oxford's vice-chancellor Louise Richardson to embed teaching on colonialism and the Empire into courses and 'diversify' the maths and life sciences curriculum.
I would imagine all those departments already use the metric system but I guess this is just a good chance to virtue signal that the British really weren't all that bad not that long ago and you can totally trust them now... lol

The lake level has been falling since July of 2019, when it was close to the maximum legal capacity.
Start to shit your pants when its at the 1992 levels bro
and my water bill is like $30 lol like I give a fuck about that if it even increases 10 fold

Since record keeping began in 1900, Lake Tahoe’s lowest measurement was taken on Nov. 30, 1992, when the lake’s water levels were nearly 3 feet below the rim, at 6,220.26 feet.
That's like saying "Shit your pants when your bank account is empty" when you have 200 bucks in your bank account and you owe $1000 in rent tomorrow.
The winter is over. That means no more snow. But hey, there is the snow that will be melting and filling the lake all summer, as usual! Except that it's already gone. And now the temperatures go up and the lake starts to evaporate. The lake level, snowpack, and date guarantee that the lake level will go below Nov 30,1992 levels.
It really won't be a monetary signal, to be fair, they will just put usage restrictions up.

Snow in May in low humidity Tahoe area will evaporate before it hits any water table.
For someone who hates the government you seem to be blissfully unaware that the golf courses will get their allocation before you do. And they're behind agriculture.
The best part of these restrictions is that they don't set some sort of "cap", nobody can use more than X gallons. What they do is say that everyone must reduce consumption by X%. So the guy with the big lawn can easily cut his consumption, the people not using anything for landscaping have to find places to cut. It's quite silly.

In some parts of the West, there’s a push to educate homeowners and businesses on ways to harvest rain- and street-water for reuse, such as cisterns, rain barrels, curb-cuts and rain basins.

https://www.koin.com/news/organizers-of-naked-bike-ride-wont-require-shirts-or-pants-but-masks-are-a-must/
PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Philadelphia bike riders won’t need their shirts, pants, skirts or even underwear — just a mask.
Organizers of the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride say this year’s event will take place Aug. 28 and will require masks, based on the city’s earlier coronavirus restrictions.
The city lifted most of its COVID-19 rules this week, citing an increase in vaccinations and a decrease in cases. But ride organizers said they hadn’t had a chance to chat since the city’s guidelines changed so for the time being, they’re “going to stick with our initial mask guidance.” Lead organizer Wesley Noonan-Sessa said they’ll keep an eye on what the city says in the next month or so.

The National Audubon Society is a private membership-based, non-profit organization. John James Audubon did not form the organization. It was named after him posthumously in the late 19th century because of his pioneering and brilliant work with North American birds.
Injustice and inequity don’t have statutes of limitations. Racists don’t get a pass because of historical contexts. If the organization wants to acknowledge, discuss and grapple with the checkered past of Audubon and several of his fellow ornithologists, that’s their business.
Deal with it.

Too bad Wilson unilaterally killed a proposal from Japan to include a racial equality provision in the charter of the League of Nations. And while he championed the cause of self-determination for many stateless peoples of Eastern Europe, his sympathy did not extend to the "backward countries" of Asia and Africa.
On the home-front, Wilson was extremely racist, even by the standards of his time. As an academic, he wrote a history textbook romanticizing the Confederacy and the Ku Klux Klan. It also describes the institution of slavery as a relatively benign affair.
As president of Princeton, he refused to admit black students and took steps to erase from the public record that African Americans had ever attended or instructed at the university. Talk about “cancel culture.”
As President, he rolled back economic gains for African Americans, overseeing the segregation of multiple agencies of the federal government. This effort included dismissing black supervisors, cutting off black employees’ access to promotions and reserving those better paying jobs for white workers.
A Princeton committee looked at the totality of his work. The committee weighed Wilson's racist policies with the contributions he made to the nation. It determined that his racist thinking and beliefs made him an inappropriate namesake for the university’s public policy school.

Obviously, an America first protectionist would give him low marks for international relations. He was a free trade globalist who cut tariffs and basically founded the forerunner of the
UN
Supply siders and hard core libertarians would not think much of his domestic policies. He reestablished the graduated income tax, created the federal reserve and the federal trade commission; passed workers compensation, a child labor law, and a farm loan program.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882), like most educated people of his time, was exposed to so-called scientific racist theories. He struggled with and, ultimately, rejected them. He opposed slavery. He supported full emancipation, reparations, education, citizenship, and voting rights. That does not stop some activists from taking a few things he wrote out of context to call him racist. Part of the rationale is that he actually dared to like some aspects of his English culture and was an advocate for self reliance.

Not sure, but I think I understand what you’re saying. I would not call anything “racist” in any educational initiative. Avoid personal trait references. Focus on the structural inequities that crept into areas of society and institutions. This would help reduce knee-jerk reactions, although many would argue that ship has sailed.

This is Tricycle quality material by an actual ordained Zen teacher, though written with a general audience in mind.
I agree with the conclusion. On balance, the mindfulness fad is not a terrible thing.
Still, traditional Buddhism teaches three kinds of meditative disciplines (cultivation, mindfulness, and concentration) with two applications (calming and insight).
Secular mindfulness exploits one part, albeit an important and useful part.

“Conventional wisdom would have it that the ‘black’ in black holes has nothing to do with race. Surely there can be no connection between the cosmos and the idea of racial blackness. Can there? Contemporary Black Studies theorists, artists, fiction writers implicitly and explicitly posit just such a connection,” the class description states.

https://www.npr.org/2021/06/26/1010588807/uk-health-minister-resigns-kissing-coronavirus-rules
LONDON (AP) — U.K. Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who has led the country's response to the coronavirus, resigned Saturday, a day after apologizing for breaching social distancing rules with an aide with whom he was allegedly having an affair.
Hancock had been under growing pressure since the tabloid Sun newspaper published images showing him and senior aide Gina Coladangelo kissing in an office at the Department of Health. The Sun said the closed circuit television images were taken May 6 — 11 days before lockdown rules were eased to allow hugs and other physical contact with people outside one's own household.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9731521/National-Archives-task-force-racism-calls-Rotunda-alleged-problematic-paintings.html
The National Archives anti-racism task force blasted its own headquarters' rotunda for 'structural racism' over paintings it displays which are said to depict the United States' white founding fathers in too positive a light.
According to the 100-page plus report's authors, the rotunda's famed murals depicting scenes such as the sighting of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are insufficiently tempered with depictions of Native Americans being driven off their land by settlers.
‘While these massive paintings are historically significant and loved by many, others find them oppressive and exclusionary,’ the report, overseen by National Archivist David Ferriero reads.
It adds that a possible solution to alleged issue is to either paint new murals or 'to stage dance or performance art in the space that invites dialogue about the ways that the United States has mythologized the founding era.’
The report says structural racism 'permeates all aspects of work and workplace culture at NARA'.

proper spelling and grammar is deemed racist now
https://www.theblaze.com/news/professors-say-proper-grammar-is-racist-perpetuates-whiteness
The virtual event, which took place on June 17, featured April Baker-Bell — an associate professor of language, literacy, and English education at Michigan State University — who stated that standard English usage and teaching perpetuates the idea that "black language" is inferior to standard grammar.
Baker-Bell noted that dangerous teacher attitudes include "assumptions that black students are somehow linguistically, morally, and intellectually inferior because they communicate in black language."
"The way black language is devalued in schools reflects how black lives are devalued in the world," Baker-Bell said, "[and] the anti-black linguistic racism that is used to diminish black language and black students in classrooms is not separate from the rampant and deliberate anti-black racism and violence inflicted upon black people in society."
Also present was Cristina Sánchez-Martín, English professor at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, who said that she is working hard to undo "whiteness" in her students' writing.
“The repeated references to 'correct grammar' and 'standard language' reinforce master narratives of English only as white and monolingualism and a deficit view of multilingualism," Sánchez-Martín insisted during the symposium.
Speakers also included Dr. Carmen Kynard, Lillian Radford chair in rhetoric and composition and professor of English at Texas Christian University; Dr. Khirsten Scott, an assistant professor of English in the composition program at the University of Pittsburgh and co-founder of Digital Black Life and Culture; and Reverend Dr. Zandra L. Jordan, director of the Hume Center for Writing and Speaking at Stanford University.

https://justthenews.com/nation/states/bill-put-feminine-hygiene-products-boys-bathrooms-goes-governor
A bill awaiting the Illinois governor’s signature would require schools to provide free menstruation products in both girls' and boys' bathrooms for grades 4 through 12.
Currently, Illinois requires tampons to be provided to students who need them, but the supplies are kept in the nurse’s office.
State Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, a co-sponsor of the proposal, said products such as tampons and sanitary napkins are needed in both girls’ and boys’ bathrooms in order to address the health needs of transgender students.
“If you are biologically a female, but identifying as a male, you’re going to menstruate and you’re going to need these products,” Willis said during floor debate.

Yeah, if you know in advance that you're a dude with a vagina, you should probably bring your own maxipads.
I imagine the schools can think of a better way to spend the funds.

Yes, kink belongs at Pride. And I want my kids to see it.
Children need to know that they can make their own ways in the world
Our family often took the train into Philadelphia, but as we rode across the bridge to attend the city’s Pride parade five years ago, my wife’s leg bounced with a nervous jitter. She squeezed my hand, worried that she might run into a colleague or be harassed by a stranger. My wife is trans, and wasn’t out at the time, so she typically only expressed her authenticity in the privacy of our home. That morning she wore a green skirt and light makeup, brushing her hair all to one side. Even though we’d attended Pride marches and protests in previous years, that day was our first celebrating openly as a family.
When our children grew tired of marching, we plopped onto a nearby curb. Just as we got settled, our elementary-schooler pointed in the direction of oncoming floats, raising an eyebrow at a bare-chested man in dark sunglasses whose black suspenders clipped into a leather thong. The man paused to be spanked playfully by a partner with a flog. “What are they doing?” my curious kid asked as our toddler cheered them on. The pair was the first of a few dozen kinksters who danced down the street, laughing together as they twirled their whips and batons, some leading companions by leashes. At the time, my children were too young to understand the nuance of the situation, but I told them the truth: That these folks were members of our community celebrating who they are and what they like to do.
Ummmm hold on folks, hot take here but... I'm going to say that bringing a toddler to a pride parade might not be the best idea...
-
Yeah. Forbid them from seeing it. That'll ensure they have no interest.

so much to catch up on but here's a good one for starters
https://apnews.com/article/business-technology-cuba-ca1ae7975e04481e8cbd56d62a7fb30e
Cubans facing the country’s worst economic crisis in decades took to the streets over the weekend. In turn, authorities blocked social media sites in an apparent effort to stop the flow of information into, out of and within the beleaguered nation.
Restricting internet access has become a tried-and-true method of stifling dissent by authoritarian regimes around the world, alongside government-supported disinformation campaigns and propaganda. On the extreme side, regimes like China and North Korea exert tight control over what regular citizens can access online. Elsewhere, service blockages are more limited, often cutting off common social platforms around elections and times of mass protests.

the Biden administration has admitted that it is giving Facebook a list of accounts to censor for spreading "disinformation" about the Covid-19 response.
"We've increased disinformation research and tracking," Press Secretary Jen Psaki told the press on Thursday. "Within the Surgeon General's Office, we're flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We're working with doctors and medical professionals to connect medical experts with people, who are popular with their audiences with accurate information and boost trusted content. So, we're helping get trusted content out there."

posting the breitbart version for the funny picture of boris eating soft serve
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2021/07/26/nanny-state-boris-johnson-to-introduce-junk-food-credit-score-app/
The supposedly Conservative government will launch an app by the end of the year to monitor the supermarket spending habits of families in the UK. Those who choose “healthier” options such as fruits and vegetables or engage in exercise will be rewarded with “loyalty points” in the app, which will translate into discounts and other incentives.
“There is a whole team in Downing Street working on this, and the Prime Minister thinks that we simply cannot go on as before and that we must now tackle it head-on,” a White Hall source told The Telegraph.
“He has been on a very rigorous diet and exercise programme and it is likely he will play a leading role in fronting this whole campaign.”
The outgoing head of the NHS, Lord Stevens said that the UK’s socialised healthcare system will be weighed down in the future if the government failed to tackle the rising obesity in the country.
“The layers of the onion… stretch out to things that are obviously beyond a healthcare system’s direct control, including the obesogenic food environment that children and poorer communities are exposed to.
“Countries, where more than half the population are overweight, have had 10 times more Covid death,” Lord Stevens noted.
Some have criticised the nanny state mentality of the government, likening the programme to the social credit score in China, which tracks the habits of citizens, awarding positive points for buying things like diapers and subtractions for buying alcohol. The communist scheme has also seen tens of millions of citizens barred from travelling because their score was too low.
Political commentator Calvin Robinson wrote in response to the idea of tracking supermarket spending: “The party of small state and privacy has become the party of nanny state interventionism. For shame.

Heather and I were having lunch with him at the B1G media day in October 2019. One of us must have said something about California, because he asked, quite ingenuously, "why would you go there?"
I told him about the amazing farms one sees while driving through the middle. Like, artichokes and shit.
I think he might believe that Iowa

Reminded me of my mom, and the wife, always trying to create some holiday tradition, instead of just letting it happen organically, and having it blow up when a shithead kid (either me or my kids) basically says "What the fuck is this bullshit?" And of course they all get pissed off about it. That's how you get a tradition of me making White Castle Stuffing every year.

The right is outraged that Biden negotiated with the Taliban. They seem to have amnesia about what happened in February 2020.

I tune into the very occasional Illini football game. If the opponent intrigues me. For whatever reason, I was intrigued by Penn St this past week.

Well, that makes no sense.
This is the humor you’re in for now, at TempoHQ! Enjoy, fuckers.
I’m so far into your head, this is starting to remind me of the movie Scanners.

I don’t think it’s creepy at all.
That would seem to say a lot about you.
-
I know you’ve been going back and forth about the Bernstein crap. Whatever.
I’ve been on an island this whole fucking time. I’m tired of it. He wore me out. I’m done.
Keep stirring the soup.
Hard to believe there was never a section named Tempo v. Jobu.
-
Which one? I forgot. Sorry
Don't worry about it. Was hoping to get a laugh out of you, but what is done, is done.
-
Hard to believe there was never a section named Tempo v. Jobu.
It’s really only escalated somewhat recently.
-
Plus, Spark and I just argued about actual stuff. Almost entirely sports related. Jobu and I mostly just argue about his mental state.
-
Which “Wayne” threads were deleted?
-
Posting semi-nudes of the women you’re banging without their knowledge isn’t creepy? Ok.
-
Ok.
See, this is what I’m talking about. I say I don’t think it’s creepy. I’m pretty confident most others agree with me. Tempo says “That seems to say a lot about you.” And none of you fuckers will stand up for me.
Fuck it. Tempos board. God damn assholes. Every one of you.
If Jobu had been a dictator, he’d have been a ruthless one.
-
Pretty sure those pics were on Instagram. And how do you know they were posted without their knowledge? Was that said?
Doesn’t matter. If you said it in here it’s true. It’s your board.
I’ll bet the thing side boob one wasn’t. And even if they were, are you one of her Instagram followers?
-
Sorry, but post-bragging with pics about the latest woman you’re banging IS creepy.
-
Now you’re just saying random shit. Lol.
Enjoy your board. Make sure everyone stays miserable. It’s what you’re good at.
When you leavin’? Anytime soon? Doesn’t seem like it.
-
I’m not the board police. Custard can post whatever he wants. And until I’m banned, I can say what I want. That’s how this works.
And I’m sure he said, “hey babe, mind if I brag to the guys on HQ that I’m banging you, and show some semi-nudes?”
-
Yep. Leaving now. Fuck it. Later.
Have a shitty life, dickhead.
And fuck all of you other assholes too.
You strike me as very stable genius.
-
Jesus. Proof read your shit.
I’m not on Instagram. Why does that matter?
Maybe she gave consent for the photo. How the fuck do you know if she did or didn’t? And why do you get to be the fucking board police anyway?
Oh yeah, because it’s yours I guess.
Ok, fuckers. Anyone want to chime in here or nah? I’m just gonna stay on an island like always?
Damn.
I just figured it was a stock photo found online and really didn't care one way or the other if it wasn't.
-
I just figured it was a stock photo found online and really didn't care one way or the other if it wasn't.
So a boob joke is way out of line and worth ostracizing over; but sharing semi-nudes in a “look what I’m banging” thread rates a “don’t know, don’t care?” Where’s the consistency here?
-
Jobu needs a friend, guys.
-
Well, most people don’t care. But Tempo went after me when I said I didn’t think it was a big deal. Maybe stand up for me? Or nah?
Fuck it. Doesn’t matter. Like I said, I’m tired of it. It’s not fun anymore.
Stand up for you? What do you want people to say? You seem to be able to stand up for yourself. Like most people here*.
*JudgeJudy exempted.
-
It’s nice to have friends. What’s wrong with wanting friends?
I will be your champion.

You actually just made the point why your idolozation of Dan Bernstein is inconsistent with your own worldview. Well done.
Again, I don't listen to or read Dan Bernstein because I think he sucks for a multitude of reasons. I didn't care about his boob Tweet at the time. It is odd on light of his evolution to Serious. Radio. Guy. I have only sought to point out the inconsistencies in your views/opinions based on whether you liked the person or not. You like Dan Bernstein. You don't like Mike Leach. Neither one has exhibited good character in the past.
I didn't care about the Boob Tweet. I didn't care about Custard posting photos. I guess that is at least consistent at a minimum.
On the other hand, I did not like Jobu posting under your name and I posted such.
-
That’s nice. I like that!
Nice profile pic. You’re a handsome man.
-
Would have been nice to have a little support. That’s all.
No biggie. Enjoy the board.
What support were you looking for? You wanted people to tell Tempo to shut up? Custard to ban him?
-
A boob joke that he apologized for in 2015 is far less egregious than sharing semi-nudes for other creeps to drool over last week IMO. YMMV
-
And I don’t know how sharing an article = “idolization.”
-
Damn, Jobu only kept my picture up for like 3 minutes. Typical Jobu. Dude’s emotions are on a yo-yo.
-
Yep. Leaving now. Fuck it. Later.
Have a shitty life, dickhead.
And fuck all of you other assholes too.
I'll rest on my efforts with the PSU game.
-
You wanted people to tell Tempo to shut up?
I did.
Plenty of times.
-
The saddest thing is that there aren’t more people logging into this abortion of a website, to take in the quality work that I do here.
-
No, I didn’t want Custard to ban him. I don’t want anyone banned. That’s not what this board is about.
I just thought someone might step up and at least agree with me. I mean damn, I’ve been fighting the dude forever. It gets tiring after a while.
He called Custard a sexual predator. That to me is irresponsible. I’m pretty sure nobody else on here thinks he’s a sexual predator but nobody else feels the need to stomp that shit out. I think that sucks.
If you guys want this to be Tempos board, and it seems like you do, fine. But I won’t be a part of that.
I’ve been watching over the last 24 hours or so. This place has absolutely sucked. If that’s what you want have at it. I won’t be here for that. Fucking gross.
I don’t think I called him a sexual predator, but if you want to infer that, that’s fair. I called him creepy, specifically. I doubt he’s a bad person, but IMO sexual post-bragging with pics isn’t something one should be doing in 2021.
-
There's only a handful of people here. If Custard wants to show some pics, I'm ok whether It's food or women.
-
I did.
Plenty of times.
And boy, did I!
-
There's only a handful of people here. If Custard wants to show some pics, I'm ok whether It's food or women.
Yeah, well, we’ll have to disagree there.
-
And you just compared women to food.
-
Fuck you Tempo! Fuck you ThePAMan!
I love you Jobu!
-
Well, it’s your abortion. Wear it.
I thought you were leaving (again)?
-

That's fair enough. I just don't care either way.
It's lightly used Illini message board. Only 3 people, as far I can tell off the top, have publicized their names here or at the original HQ: Rob, JeffFrank and you.
I find it comical, for example, why some guy who calls himself JudgeJudy gets mad about some idiot who calls himself ThePAMan saying he is a trailer park pedo. No one here, except maybe Custard (as I believe they saw or met each other at the same place once) knows who the fuck JudgeJudy is in real life.
Why a guy named Jobu is getting his tit in a ringer about anything said by Tempo is equally comical. I figured this is just another Jobu character bit like when he died on HQ.

Agreed. “Tempo34” isn’t my real persona. It’s a bit. Sure, there are definitely parts of me in Tempo34, and most of my takes are real opinions. But I think that’s why most of us come here. To talk about things most of our friends don’t care to talk about, amd to talk to people in a way we’d never use in real life. This place is entertainment, not real life.
-
And you two continue to make my point. I'm willing to bet Custard does not give a fuck if Tempo called him a sexual predator, or creepy, or whatever.

ThePAMan could take tips from this post and ANY Custard post about how to write poetry. His shit just isn’t up to par. That’s probably why we clash.
-
You did say that the thread was a sexual predator thread.
That was for dramatic effect.
Rob for one, seems to get this technique.

Is a lesbian transphobic if she does not want to have sex with trans women? Some lesbians say they are increasingly being pressured and coerced into accepting trans women as partners - then shunned and even threatened for speaking out. Several have spoken to the BBC, along with trans women who are concerned about the issue too.

The guaranteed basic income plan would provide 5,000 selected households $500-a-month stipends for a year, thanks to money provided under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act. Chicago joins other cities including Los Angeles in providing direct cash assistance to households in need.
the "science" says this is a waste of money from prior tests in other countries and parts of the world so yeah so glad we're doing it again here for no fucking reason at all (other than buying votes for 2022)

Because I don’t think you have any earthly idea how much money that really is.

If you liquidated that wealth Bezos could give every person on the planet $20 and still be one of the richest people in the world. Now 5x that.
You will never ever convince me that Jeff Bezos deserves to be a trillionaire more than poor people deserve fairly meager financial help.

At the end of the day, the Trump campaign was probably too inept to collude in a meaningful way. Although why would Manafort share polling information with Russia?
The fact that a presidential candidate went in front of a camera and encouraged a foreign power to find and share dirt on his opponent should have been disqualifying in itself. An embarrassing moment in American history.

There’s all kinds of evidence the Trump campaign was working/colluding with Russia. The burden of proof was so high, it was nearly unattainable.

Who fed the story to Nakashima ?
And in his Senate testimony, Crowdstrike CEO Shawn Henry said they have no evidence of exfiltration. Michael Sussman hired Crowdstrike. Crowdstrike also used the same style of arguments regarding a Russia hack in Ukraine, which they were forced to retract.
Take all of the 'likelys' and 'maybes' out and what are you left with ?
You're left with the same argument that 50 IC individuals made regarding the validity of Hunters laptop pre-election. 'It has all the markings of Russian disinformation'. They knew what they were saying, and they knew why they included the statement. It's an out, and nobody in the media took them to task.
Then look at the 'they never asked. Yes we did' between Crowdstrike and the FBI.
https://mate.substack.com/p/indicted-clinton-lawyer-hired-crowdstrike
-
Does CrowdStrike have evidence that data was exfiltrated from the DNC network?
Yes. Shawn Henry stated in his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee that CrowdStrike had indicators of exfiltration (page 32) and that data had clearly left the network. Also, on page 2, the Intelligence Community Assessment also confirmed that the Russian intelligence agency GRU “had exfiltrated large volumes of data from the DNC.”
-
Did CrowdStrike have proof that Russia hacked the DNC?
Yes, and this is also supported by the U.S. Intelligence community and independent Congressional reports.
...
This conclusion has most recently been supported by the Senate Intelligence Committee in April 2020 issuing a report [intelligence.senate.gov] validating the previous conclusions of the Intelligence community, published on January 6, 2017, that Russia was behind the DNC data breach.
...
It’s also worth noting that other security companies, including Fidelis and FireEye have supported CrowdStrike’s analysis.
-
Crowdstrike CEO Shawn Henry said they have no evidence of exfiltration.
In this particular case, CrowdStrike saw circumstantial evidence of data exfiltration from the DNC network. As a reference point circumstantial evidence is the type of evidence such as DNA analysis or fingerprints that are fully admissible in courts.
“Counsel just reminded me that, as it relates to the DNC’ we have indicators that data was exfiltrated. We did not have concrete evidence that data was exfiltrated from the DNC, but we have indicators that it was exfiltrated.’
and circumstantial evidence that data was taken as he states on page 75 ”so there is circumstantial evidence that it was taken”
https://www.crowdstrike.com/blog/bears-midst-intrusion-democratic-national-committee/
-
Crowdstrike CEO Shawn Henry did not say they had no evidence of exfiltration. He said there was no real time observation of exfiltration of data. Nothing akin to an eye witness account. He said they did have circumstantial evidence akin to fingerprints.

Sounds like Mn needs to read the report instead of relying on The Twitter, or The Gab!

Crowdstrike defends it's work with it's own blog.
"A lot of — outside of any political organization, companies, most corporations, they often would use these third party contractors, who they hired through their own counsel, and maximize the control from the point of view of the victim.”
Outside of any political organization .... Lol.
"We’ve provided all forensic evidence and analysis to the FBI related to the DNC investigation as requested. We have never declined any request for information from the FBI related to this investigation, and there are no pending requests for information by the FBI."
The FBI: 'That's not exactly true'
According to the Senate Intelligence Committee, CrowdStrike delivered a draft report to the FBI on Aug. 31, 2016 that an unidentified FBI official described as "heavily redacted." James Trainor, then-assistant director of the FBI's Cyber Division, told the committee that he was "frustrated" with the CrowdStrike report and "doubted its completeness" because "outside counsel" – i.e. Sussmann – "had reviewed it." According to Trainor, the DNC's cooperation was "moderate" overall and "slow and laborious in many respects." Trainor singled out the fact that Perkins Coie – and specifically, Sussmann – "scrubbed" the CrowdStrike information before it was delivered to the FBI, resulting in a "stripped-down version" that was "not optimal."

...The Alfa Bank investigation in the bureau went nowhere. The Steele dossier affected only the Carter Page matter, which was only one relatively unimportant thread of the larger Russia investigation....
... none of what we think of as the fruits of the Russia investigation had anything to do with Clinton-world opposition research efforts. Not the Papadopoulos matter. Not the Michael Flynn investigation. Not the investigation of Paul Manafort and his business relationship with the Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik. Not the indictment of Russian intelligence officers for hacking and dumping Democratic emails—all with the public endorsement of Donald J. Trump. Not the investigation of Roger Stone. And not the indictments of other Russian operatives for social media manipulations. The extensive findings of the Mueller report depend not a whiff on Perkins Coie or Fusion GPS.

It is interesting that people still blame / credit Presidents for gas prices.
-
Wingnuts credit Trump for gas low prices late last year, and higher prices this year. They specifically blame Biden for stopping Keystone XL and suspending new oil leases on federal land as well as economic stimulus programs flooding the economy with cash.
Both the low and high gas prices actually illustrate how transitory covid related factors affect prices. The lockdowns in 2020 obviously drastically cut into demand when producer were ramping up supply. This led to a glut, low prices, and losses.
Producers, domestic, opec, et al, responded by cutting production. As demand increased this year, producers have reacted with caution, by gradually increasing production. They fear another variant could result in another lock down.There have also been supply chain issues, such as a shortage of hazardous materials drivers.
KXL has no effect. Even if approved, it would not be operational for two years. New leases would not help. Domestic producers aren't even working all the leases they already have.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/brits-warned-christmas-tree-syndrome-25691519
Christmas trees could trigger fatal asthma attacks during the festive season, according to a leading charity.
Brits putting up the festive fir in the corner of the living room could be putting themselves at risk of an allergic condition called "Christmas Tree Syndrome".
The Yuletide centrepiece can harbour mould spores which are launched into the air and can aggravate the lungs - irritating airways and causing inflammation and tightening.
But opting for a plastic imitation doesn't solve the issue as they're usually left in attics for the majority of the year, picking up dust - another irritant for asthma sufferers, Wales Online reports.
Charity Asthma UK has urged Brits to be vigilant this Christmas period, fearing the syndrome could spur serious attacks and hospital stays.
It estimates that 40 per cent of asthma sufferers suffer attacks as a result of mould and fungi.
Turning up the heating to get cosy on Christmas Day also gives dust mites room to thrive - another leading cause of attacks.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10314717/Chicago-drug-dealer-17-given-PROBATION-murdering-boy-15-marijuana-sale-went-wrong.html
A Chicago high school drug dealer was given just three years probation and 100 hours community service after pleading guilty to the 2020 murder of a 15-year-old boy during a drug sale gone wrong.
Glenbrook South High School sophomore Elias Valdez was found dead on August 5, 2020, with multiple stab wounds to his chest after police said he took marijuana from a 17-year-old senior without paying.
The drug dealer chased after the boy, and as they fought, he stabbed Valdez multiple times with a utility tool blade.
On Monday, Cook County Judge Steven Bernstein ordered the 17-year-old senior's name not be published because he's a minor but said he was disappointed in the young man's choices.
'I see a child like you who has two parents concerned with his welfare. [You're] a bright kid with a bright future,' Bernstein said.

Bernstein also sentenced the teen and his parents to participate in counseling. The judge also offered his condolences to Valdez's family.
'You'll never get closure. I wish I could tell you you will,' he said. 'Your son will be in your heart forever.'

guilty plea, was16 at the time, sounds like parents are involved and cooperative. Tried as a juvenile.
Victim's family complains it is preferential treatment. Implies the defendant is white? rich kid?
Probably should be a juvenile case, but if the roles were reversed, do they charge an Hispanic kid as an adult?

"colored kids"
When I was very young, we briefly lived in an all white community. I recall that there was going to be a colored boy in my Sunday school class. My dad said the kid was from a Negro family. I had never seen one, and wondered in anticipation what color. Maybe purple, red, and yellow?
Was disappointed he was black.
A neighbor lady referred to them as darkies. She said the darkies should stay among their own kind. She chain smoked and yelled a lot.
I forget why I went to the kitchen, but I remember this shit from 1957 just like it happened 65 years ago.

Rather, it is calling on Spotify to develop a comprehensive policy prohibiting misinformation. ‘Any podcast that platforms dangerous people, people spreading dangerous ideas and misinformation, should not be allowed to go unchecked on the Spotify platform.’”

Gee I don’t see how policie like this could possibly be abused

I believe in a free market of ideas, but the first amendment includes the right to boycott.
An aside, even though I tend to favor free markets over central planning, the invisible hand is bunk.

Gee I don’t see how policie like this could possibly be abused
A corporate policy prohibiting the dissemination of false and dangerous information that can get people killed? Potential abuse? I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Spotify has an exclusive, multiyear $100m contract with Rogan.
But I hear the company is working on advisory labels for some content.
https://newsroom.spotify.com/2022-01-30/spotifys-platform-rules-and-approach-to-covid-19/
Here’s the advisory for the Rogan podcast: “WARNING: You may die if you believe any of the crap this person says, but, c'mon man, bro Joe brings a lot of money our way.”

If you want to learn how to ski you have to look down the mountain instead of looking at your feet.

If you want to learn how to ski you have to look down the mountain instead of looking at your feet.
That’s good advice, even for a BIG STREAMING SERVICE like Spotify.
Here’s a few more words of wisdom: “Under no circumstances should one seek guidance from a Joe Rogan podcast while learning to ski. You may end up crashing into a stationary object or flying off the mountain.”

Smile for the camera, kids.

“Atticus Finch, of course is in everyone’s memory the great hero of the book, but in fact he was kind of tolerant of the racism around him. He described one of the members of the lynch mob as a good man.”
Students and community members also cited the book’s use of the n-word as a reason for removing it from the required list.
“And it never has a discussion of why that word is bad why it is hurtful or why it should not be used,” Gahagan said. “You don’t really get the perspective of the pain that might cause people of color.”

The purpose of this federal grant program is to support community-based overdose prevention programs, syringe services programs and other harm reduction services. Yes, this includes the distribution of “safe smoking supplies” to help reduce the sharing of substance use equipment and reduce the spread of infectious diseases.
Here’s a list other services that are eligible for funding under the program:
• Distribution of overdose-reversal medications and fentanyl test strips
• Overdose education and counseling
• Management or expansion of syringe services programs (which help control the spread of infectious diseases like HIV and
hepatitis C)
• Provision of sterile syringes
• Provision of safe-sex kits
• Prevention education about synthetic opioids and other substances
• Peer worker engagement
• Medical services
• Case management and referral to treatment
Eligible applicants include States; local, Tribal, and territorial governments; Tribal organizations; non-profit community-based organizations; and primary and behavioral health organizations.

Apparently, we can't teach that humans are morally nuanced. Otherwise decent people are capable of doing bad things.
I wonder if "The Oxbow Incident" is on any reading lists? We can read that and think those were bad guys. Or we can see they got caught up in the herd mentality and that can happen to us.

Yes, because the chinese and the cartels force Americans to use opioids
and opiates? The solution is to reduce the supply? How about doing something about demand?

🤡🤡🤡
Strawman Alert.
I acknowledged the existence of the safer smoking kits in my post (see 2nd sentence, first paragraph). I also never said the article from the Washington Free Beacon was a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”
I just thought it was important to indicate the purpose of the safe smoking kits and point out that the federal harm reduction funds could be used for a variety of other purposes.
Safe smoking kits are designed to reduce infections among drug addicts. The kits have been around for at least a decade (in places like Vancouver, San Francisco, Maryland and Kentucky). Some have included the distribution of nearly-free glass pipes, even from vending machines. Not sure I like that. Safe smoking kits don't seem to be super common compared to needles, wipes, HIV med and so forth.
This would be the first time that safe smoking kits could be funded as part of a federal program. Local governments and service organizations would decide whether to seek funding for distribution of the kits. The Biden Administration said that the grant program would not pay for safer pipes to smoke crack or meth. Apparently the kits would only include mouthpieces, screens and disinfectant wipes.
https://www.fox46.com/health-care/feds-say-no-taxpayer-money-for-safer-drug-smoking-pipes/
There seems to be strong support for safe smoking kits among public health advocates as a pragmatic approach for reducing hepatitis and HIV rates among drug addicts. Here’s a good explainer:

And the Fox46 link is a story written about the WH position after the backlash and the question of the legality of drug paraphernalia possession.
From the link, "The White House was put on the defensive as outrage from the political right"....
And from another story ...
" On Monday an HHS spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that included in these kits could be pipes for users to smoke substances like crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, or 'any illicit substance.'
Buy all of the pipes you want and hand them out. That's up to you. Or if private organizations want to do it, that's up to them.

Dunno. I've never seen crack. But I'm guessing "no".

The original grant language includes "safe smoking kits/supplies".
The grant language does not specify that pipes may be included in the "safe smoking kits",
but the grant language does not prohibit the inclusion of pipes in a "safe smoking kit".
If HHS wanted funding for supplies, don't include the language for kits.
The end.

Your entire argument is “it doesn’t say they AREN’T giving out crack pipes”.
Please vet your sources better. Stop falling for outrage machine nonsense.
-
You think no one at HHS raised an eyebrow when they included "safe smoking kits" in the language ? You think no one at HHS had the oresence of mind to google "safe smoking kits" when they wrote the grant ? You think no one at HHS had an inkling of what may be included in a "safe smoking kit" ?

Maybe the WFB reporter got things wrong about the contents of the safe smoking kits. Maybe the reporter never asked about crack pipes. Maybe he just assumed the smoking kits would include the pipes because a few cities have experimented with their distribution.

There’s an old adage in journalism, “If your mother says she loves you, check on it.”
My guess is the grant program staff did not flag the crack pipe issue to HHS senior management, and therefore it was not brought to the attention of the White House.
That’s not good, but it’s something that can be fixed. Future grant solicitations should include a definitions section. And senior management should be made aware of any significant policy issues.

Liberal drug group now criticizes Biden administration for NOT giving out free crack pipes in safe smoking and harm reduction kits that include 'lip balm, alcohol swabs, fentanyl testing strips and clean syringes' - and have infuriated Republicans
The Drug Policy Alliance said the decision to 'remove pipes from safe smoking equipment is deeply disappointing'
'Harm reduction works to meet people where they are at, and keep people free of diseases and alive so they have a chance of recovery and healing'
The Biden admin may not be handing out free crack pipes, but a $30 million grant program will dole out materials for addicts to utilize when using drugs
Also funded are harm reduction vending machines, medication to reverse a drug overdose, medication lock boxes, infectious disease testing kits

A. Someone may want to tell Cornell West that there not US soldiers stationed in the Ukraine at the time of the invasion, nor was that a reason given for the invasion by Putin.
B. Someone may want to tell Matt Taibii that there is a difference between the Soviet government issuing laws criminalizing "Fake News" and dictating what the Soviet news organizations say and say, The FaceBook, a business not subject to the First Amendment, allowing content about killing Soviets.
Other than those huge caveats, and that we still have Golf and Dominic able to spout Soviet propaganda here, sure, spot on!

The US did remove the national guard troops we’d had there since November to train/advise/mentor Ukrainian armed forces sometime around mid-February. And have sent bunches more to NATO states bordering the conflict.
And big tech is so woven into the fabric of our government anymore that we have come to the point where we are pretending we don’t have mass censorship by hiding it under the guise of private company free speech.
“According to an analysis of more than 1,000 financial disclosures, senior Biden Administration officials were more likely to have worked with Google, Facebook or Microsoft than any other private sector employers.”

Saw a fox news clown explain why blaming American oil companies for high gas prices is despicable.
Some Dems argued that big oil companies are earning record profits. They should be able to pass some of that of that onto consumers in the form of lower prices.
However, pump prices are set by service stations, most of which are independently owned. And they are only earning a few cents profit per gallon.
Despite my lead addled brain, even I can see through that logic.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Richardson immediately saying that and jumping to that conclusion is very odd. It’s almost HIS preconceived notion and meaning and/or HIS subconscious thinking. Not Shildt’s.

https://www.mystateline.com/news/national/two-women-at-new-jersey-jail-pregnant-after-sex-with-transgender-prisoners/
CLINTON, N.J. (WTVO) — Two female inmates at New Jersey’s all-women’s prison have both become pregnant after they had sex with transgender inmates.
According to NJ.com, the women were housed at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility.
Prison officials say the sex was consensual in both instances.
Last year, the facility began to house transgender inmates, including those who have yet to undergo gender reassignment surgery after a lawsuit by a trans woman and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The transgender prisoner who filed the suit, identified as Sonia Doe, claimed she had been forced to live in men’s prisons for a year and a half, despite identifying as female.
The ACLU’s legal director, Jeanne LoCicero, defended the settlement policy, saying it was “in line with New Jersey’s strong anti-discrimination laws that prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender identity.”
New Jersey’s Department of Corrections (DOC) executive director Dan Sperrazza said it appeared the women became pregnant from “consensual sexual relationships with another incarcerated person.”
Sperrazza did not identify the inmates. Edna Mahan houses 27 transgender prisoners, NJ.com reports.
“While DOC cannot comment on any specific disciplinary or housing decisions that may be considered in light of these events, the Department always reserves all options to ensure the health and safety of the individuals in its custody,” Sperrazza said.
According to the Daily Mail, in 2021 two inmates filed a lawsuit trying to revoke the gender identity policy, saying they had been harassed by transgender inmates.
The president of the union representing correctional officers issued a statement saying “We opposed this policy change believing it would be detrimental to the general population of female inmates being housed at Edna Mahan and also bring added stress to our correctional police officers assigned to this institution.”
Several correctional officers at Edna Mahan have been accused of sexual abuse and misconduct over the years. Ten guards are currently facing criminal charges for an alleged assault on inmates in 2020, which included a transgender prisoner.

There may be some very weird very bad days ahead. Bitcoin is finally plummeting. For a while I worried this would cause some systemic risk because you had these hacker dudes who mined a bunch of bitcoin under $100 who now had many millions, then sold the bitcoins to buy real estate and then mortgaged the homes, took the cash from the loan and put it back into bitcoin. So now the housing market is being propped up by gains in a ponzi scheme, but the gains went back into the ponzi scheme via a loan.
Now I'm reading the crazy ass story listed above where this dude decided he wanted to have his company buy a whole shit load of bitcoin. The company wasn't making enough cash to buy the amount of bitcoin he wanted so he took out a 200 million dollar loan to buy a bunch of bitcoin.
If bitcoin crashes, he gets a margin call, can't repay the loan, and a real world company collapses because the CEO used it as a shell to gamble in a ponzi scheme. Not only that, the bank that lent him 200 million is going to have a fun time explaining that to their shareholders.
Then you have things like Ecuador buying up a shit load of bitcoin, so we are talking about the collapse of a medium level country's government.
This is infecting the stock market too. These same bitcoin douches who think that there is a perpetual motion machine driving things up without actual products and growth, that we can just sit around on our couches and "invest" and end up with houses and porsches without anyone actually building the houses and Porsches, took their funny money balance sheets of bitcoin, with the blessing of dumbass brokerages (real ones like Fidelity and scammy ones like Robinhood) and levered up the margin on stock portfolios. This drives up stock prices but when the first balloon pops and people get the margin calls, the house of cards go boom.
Buckle up.

for once I agree with you murph, lol
I read about this a while ago and actually microstrategy borrowed 2 BILLION to buy bitcoin... a boring software company borrowed 2 billion dollars to buy digital non money, the 200 million is just a margin call... lol fucking idiots
I personally know a crypto billionaire and he has let me just say... diversified out of a lot of it into tangible assets (you should see his car collection... holy shit)

Cars are tangible but I would not call them assets. Well, they are an asset, but they are a depreciating asset. Even if you have some weird ass collectors edition Ferrari, once we hit 70% or more of the US fleet being electric, the gas stations start closing and the rest go electric, then what you gonna do with that Ferrari? Well you can drive it around, but the amount of humans willing to buy if from you will plummet.
What is it with these douches and buying a fleet of cars? Call me old school but I'd go for the good old "condo in Kaanapaali"

His cars are far beyond ferrari's, they are the types of cars that only increase in value. Zero gasoline is pretty far off, and the ultra rich people buying these things will find a way regardless. He has a bunch of real estate projects he's doing as well so that's not his only thing

Tesla stock is down 40% but I don't think he'll be begging anytime soon. Company does own "2 Billion of bitcoin", per some youtube I saw yesterday, if that was true it's a lot less than 2B now.
There's a whole cadre of crazy youtuber bitcoin maniacs, they are probably doing great on page views right now but it would be the height of irony for them to bank 300-400k/year from youtube, dump it into bitcoin, bitcoin goes to zero and they lose all their money and their youtube channel evaporates too.
This crazy shit also plays a part in inflation. If borrowed money is being used to buy bitcoin, the sellers of the bitcoin now have real money they can pump into the economy (see Q97's buddy and his cars). Same goes for people borrowing against their bitcoin. I don't see the same correlation from things like COVID relief bills, if people couldn't work and got a check from the government, that injected money is replacing organic money. The bitcoin leverage is just invented money.
But if Bitcoin really tanks that could do wonders for inflation, especially if it takes down the stock market. The amount of "money" that vanishes will be quite impressive.

Great plan. Let's take some Illinois farmland and plant some trees. It's a win win as we would capture carbon and also stop burning ethanol for fuel, putting the carbon captured by corn back into the atmosphere.

We have a climate change problem and it's caused by an excess of CO2. With direct air capture, you can remove any emission, anywhere, from any moment in time – Steve Oldham
DAC is far from the only way carbon can be taken out of the atmosphere. Carbon can be removed naturally through land use changes such as restoring peatland, or most popularly, planting forests. But this is slow and would require huge tracts of valuable land – foresting an area the size of the United States, by some estimates, and driving up food prices five-fold in the process. And in the case of trees, the carbon removal effect is limited, as they will eventually die and release their stored carbon, unless they can be felled and burned in a closed system.

The product is said to look like "conventional" mince.

I know at least some have worked remotely, met with zoom etc. Dunno what they are doing now. It seems stupid to get dressed up and spend 2 to 3 hours a day in cars, buses, trains to go sit in a cubicle to do things that could be done at home.

He is still an idiot, but Jesse Watters did a nice plug for the value of going to work. Working at home, we miss the office gossip. Also, we miss out on office dating. Plus, you can't tell who is tall on zoom. The big one, if we are alone all day, staring at a screen, we will all turn into mass shooters.

Working remote isn’t all that great for a lot of people. And it’s not like everyone works in a fucking cubicle for shit’s sake.
There are objective benefits to working with other people in a collaborative environment beyond the (likely cherry picked) nonsense Nichi parsed from Watters.
Lots of people don’t need to go to an office setting to do their jobs. Some do. A lot of people I work with have decided to stay home permanently. Many others prefer to go into the office every day and be on a schedule and interact with their colleagues.
I imagine all this will shake out just fine but hey, let’s turn this into a political football too!

I expressed my skepticism over Tesla's market value, he said "look at all the Teslas here in CA, expand that to the country and it's a trillion dollar company"
I just said "You mean like Honda" (hint: not a trillion dollar company). And Tesla can't expand that to the country because of the price point, and his original point is broken anyway. There are Teslas all over the South Bay, but not so many in Fresno. My sister's kids go to a hoity toity private school in Lafayette IN, plenty of Teslas there. Unless they can adjust their price point to be closer to Honda or Ford, they can't expand into lower median income ranges, and if they do, their margins go to pot.

They'll be empty. Restaurants and other businesses catering to office workers will close. Tax collections go down..But can then convert the office buildings to homeless shelters.

Forget about buying an overpriced new Tesla. If anyone is in the market for an electric vehicle, I would suggest looking at used EVs.
The savings will vary by model, but on average, used EVs cost 43% to 72% less than new ones. Plus, they are significantly less expensive to maintain than comparable used gas-powered cars.

True for used cars in general, but are EV's available on the used market? For a while, used Teslas pretty much didn't exist.
One thing about buying a used EV - while an ICE car will have some life out of it, need new tires, have some miles in the transmission, etc... with used EVs you start getting into the situation where the battery range has decreased.

Despite the overall point re cost, there are plenty of rich Trumpers too.
I did notice that the rink in Irvine when we out there had a bunch of charging stations in front. Had not seen anything like that around here. They were always packed with people charging their cars when we were at the rink.

Converting vacant office buildings into affordable housing is complicated. Might be better to focus on renovating older motels, big box stores and ground-level retail spaces to address homelessness.

I think it depends on where you live but google used EVs for sale. I think you’ll find a surprising number of pre-owned models available in larger metropolitan areas, including 2020 and 2021 Teslas.
While it can be intimidating, there’s plenty of good information available to help people buy the right EV. This includes estimating the remaining life of the battery.

Plenty of Asian options on campus. Was looking for Zorba's to get a gyro and it is some noodle bullshit. Went to the Illini Inn, instead.of the free parent meal in the 6 Pack, and had a burger, free fries (Tuesday special), a (plastic) Mug Club mug of Miller Lite, and a $3 Long Island (summer special). Bartender let me keep the plastic Mug Club mug as I was the only one in there.

I get that, but the damned things are full. Meanwhile, moms were lined up outside the Illini Union women's bathrooms like it was a Bears game. Why not make sure the dispensers are full in there? If "Pat" needs a tampon, go in there and grab one? I'm guessing there are not as many "Pats" as there are...Pattys given how full the damned things are.

A year and a half after the arrival of Virus, some may have started wondering why the usually unscrupulous ruling elites decided to freeze the global profit-making machine in the face of a pathogen that targets almost exclusively the unproductive (over 80s). Why all the humanitarian zeal? Cui bono? Only those who are unfamiliar with the wondrous adventures of GloboCap can delude themselves into thinking that the system chose to shut down out of compassion. Let us be clear from the start: the big predators of oil, arms, and vaccines could not care less about humanity.
In pre-Covid times, the world economy was on the verge of another colossal meltdown. Here is a brief chronicle of how the pressure was building up:

https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-systemic-collapse-and-pandemic-simulation/
That is actually kind of interesting. The crony capitalists actually engineered covid to bail themselves out?
I was saying pre-covid, that Trump's great economy was largely bullspit. UE decline and low inflation were just continuations of previous trends. Trump et al tended to misrepresent his gdp growth. The Late El Rushbo blatantly misled listeners by comparing Trump's early quarterly numbers with Obama's annualized numbers. Corporations used the unique tax break to buy back stocks, artificially inflating the markets. P/E ratios predicted trouble ahead. Deficits ballooned. Covid was convenient, though I think coincident. Retrospection might tell us there was an overreaction, or not.
A friend pointed out that humans seem to be hardwired for pattern recognition. This leads to things like synchronicity. Add in the inclination of some to be to be suspicious, we get complex conspiracy theories.

Really? The Marxian analysis from some UK egghead professor resonates with you, huh? The claim that the goal, under the guise of responding to the virus, was meant to prevent or defer hyperinflation? Haven't you argued here that the response to the pandemic caused inflation? (Not saying you are incorrect, just that you made the argument.) Why would Big Oil push a plan where they would wind up having to pay to give oil away? (And have Trump, who apparently was in on this plan, tell the Saudis to stop pumping so domestic producers would not completely get curb stomped?) Granted, it is now making up for those lost profits. The lower wages part? Huh?
And Lori Lightfoot and her mandates are apparently part of a global scheme for profit making by [insert your bogeyman here]. Interesting.

I feel like the author addressed a lot of these issues within the actual article and there are some really well thought out replies to it that cover the rest.
Yeah, pumping the rescue money into the economy on top of the purposeful supply (and supply chain) destruction helped cause the inflation we are seeing, but it’s certainly not hyperinflation at this point.
Central banking and big companies run this world. Most politicians are puppets of the establishment installed to serve their masters. Even the ones that rise to office by claiming to eschew the establishment eventually end up doing their bidding if they want to stay in office. Or worse, they get offed. (Ahem, Kennedy) Politics and the media dog and pony show that covers them exist primarily to give us the illusion of choice.
Is this a cynical take? Sure. But I’m not even sure how anyone can argue otherwise at this juncture. Hell, George Carlin, a progressive standup comedian, laid this all brutally bare three decades ago. It’s my opinion that the only ones who don’t get it at this point are either not paying attention or have their heads buried in the sand.
If there’s one thing that boggles my mind about the US post-March 2020 is that somehow the normally anti-establishment left has become firmly entrenched on the side of the establishment. We’ve got Democrats leading the charge on huge taxpayer payouts to the military industrial complex, hero worship of big pharmaceutical companies with abhorrent morality issues, our intrepid renewable energy stumping president begging Saudi Arabia (they of their fantastic human rights track record) for oil, all while kneeling at the altar of the Big Tech and media oligarchies.
So whether or not everything in the article is true, it’s abundantly clear that the moves the global elite are making are working.
-
, our intrepid renewable energy stumping president begging Saudi Arabia (they of their fantastic human rights track record) for oil,
That is what Fox News says. They mock Biden for intervening with the Saudis to increase production in hopes of cutting prices; while domestic oil companies enjoy record profits. They use the word beg.
Two years ago Fox News praised Trump for intervening with the Saudis to cut production in hopes of increasing prices; while domestic oil companies suffered record losses. The word beg was not used.
Today Fox News expressed outrage because in their minds Biden lied when he said inflation is higher in the rest of the industrialized world. Actually, we are middle of the pack. It is slightly lower in some countries, slightly higher in others. So he misspoke. The point Biden tried to sell is it is a global problem, not caused by his policies. He is now blaming Putin for aggravating the supply issues.
Meanwhile, Fox consistently defended and still defends the blatant liar Trump.

Apparently Russia attacking The Ukraine and China continuing to shut down parts of its (and the world's) economy for The COVID (and, its, it appears, return to a more Marxist ideology in connection with its economy...anyone hear from the Alibaba guy lately?) was all part of GLOBAL INC's conspiracy plan to drive up profits and push everyone into a recession?
Yeah, ok.
You ever think, maybe, that businesses can be adept at taking advantage, best they can, of a bad situation on the ground when it works to their advantage? It is not as if we have never had price gouging around a natural disaster. (It was not that long ago when people were hoarding TP and selling it on eBay.) This just happens to be a worldwide natural (or man made) disaster, with huge collateral events (environmental and war) occurring, that is impacting everyone worldwide. Some industries are fucking EVERYONE over because they can. Meanwhile, others are getting hammered.
We have heard that domestic oil producer shareholders are fine taking profits right now instead of expanding production. This comes on the heels of oil demand taking a dive. Maybe makes sense $ wise, but maybe not morally. But, in the end, oil companies (like most businesses when push comes to shove) don't act morally. It's all about the Benjamins.
A push for renewable energy and addressing environmental issues could be a good outcome here. But we are too focused on pronouns and denying that water shortages out West are, in part, man made because people want to live in a desert with no water. See, e.g., QAnon97.

So whether or not everything in the article is true, it’s abundantly clear that the moves the global elite are making are working.
Now, I will agree with you that too many politicians (and Larry Sommers) willing to do nothing. When is Merrick Garland going to issue subpoenas to businesses who are engaged in gouging and, allegedly, artificial supply chain issues? Where are the state attorney generals? They all went after Big Tobacco? Why not Big Baby Formula?
I'm too busy trying to get an answer from the CTA as to who is the head of the Blue Line to take this on myself. (I am actually serious about the Blue Line stuff, they won't tell me who is actually in charge.)

That is what Fox News says. They mock Biden for intervening with the Saudis to increase production in hopes of cutting prices; while domestic oil companies enjoy record profits. They use the word beg.
Two years ago Fox News praised Trump for intervening with the Saudis to cut production in hopes of increasing prices; while domestic oil companies suffered record losses. The word beg was not used.
Today Fox News expressed outrage because in their minds Biden lied when he said inflation is higher in the rest of the industrialized world. Actually, we are middle of the pack. It is slightly lower in some countries, slightly higher in others. So he misspoke. The point Biden tried to sell is it is a global problem, not caused by his policies. He is now blaming Putin for aggravating the supply issues.
Meanwhile, Fox consistently defended and still defends the blatant liar Trump.
I don’t watch Fox News. How would you like me to phrase what Biden did so it’s less hurtful to you? He’s tough talked them a bunch when oil was cheap then he went over there to try and get them to produce more when oil was expensive.
The economy is fluid. They needed to slow production when demand tanked and they needed to resume production once demand resumed. It’s not rocket surgery.
I have friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who are in the oil business in OK/TX/ND. When oil crashed because we willfully (and stupidly) shut down the economy, it cratered their businesses.
These aren’t the Exxons of the world, they’re the family owned or medium sized businesses that feed the Exxons of the world. They laid people off and capped wells and hung on for dear life. Now they can’t hardly find people to work. You don’t just flip a switch and recover from that. Either from a pure business standpoint or from the emotionally traumatic part of having something you’ve spent your life building just shut down indefinitely and perhaps permanently altered.
Plenty of intelligent forward-looking people saw the writing on the wall really early in the pandemic and were absolutely lambasted for it. Blackballed. Made into pariahs. All to kowtow to the official narrative that so many lapdogs so enthusiastically embraced. Several of the folks here absolutely lived to lambaste people who questioned the official narrative.
The returns are pretty much in and the lockdown, it turns out, wasn’t a great idea. Maybe we shouldn’t have willfully damaged our delicately balanced supply and demand infrastructure in the first place?
-
I thought the so called lockdown was just an excuse for another bail out?
What I am reading is that the various measures did save leaves, albeit mostly older and less healthy people. One article seems to say the gains were offset by loss of quality of life affecting younger people.
One article indicates the lock down in China indirectly saved a lot of lives by reducing pollution.
Another conspiracy theory out there is the left is trying to do some kind of reset. That might not be a bad idea. Use rebuilding from the pandemic partial lockdowns as a starting point. There just isn't any leadership to pull us in that direction.

Apparently Russia attacking The Ukraine and China continuing to shut down parts of its (and the world's) economy for The COVID (and, its, it appears, return to a more Marxist ideology in connection with its economy...anyone hear from the Alibaba guy lately?) was all part of GLOBAL INC's conspiracy plan to drive up profits and push everyone into a recession?
Yeah, ok.
You ever think, maybe, that businesses can be adept at taking advantage, best they can, of a bad situation on the ground when it works to their advantage? It is not as if we have never had price gouging around a natural disaster. (It was not that long ago when people were hoarding TP and selling it on eBay.) This just happens to be a worldwide natural (or man made) disaster, with huge collateral events (environmental and war) occurring, that is impacting everyone worldwide. Some industries are fucking EVERYONE over because they can. Meanwhile, others are getting hammered.
We have heard that domestic oil producer shareholders are fine taking profits right now instead of expanding production. This comes on the heels of oil demand taking a dive. Maybe makes sense $ wise, but maybe not morally. But, in the end, oil companies (like most businesses when push comes to shove) don't act morally. It's all about the Benjamins.
A push for renewable energy and addressing environmental issues could be a good outcome here. But we are too focused on pronouns and denying that water shortages out West are, in part, man made because people want to live in a desert with no water. See, e.g., QAnon97.
No one here has argued more than I have that big businesses have engaged in a high degree of fuckery surrounding supply chain issues, shipping, collusion, and any other manner of bullshit in the Covid era.
What you said here: “Apparently Russia attacking The Ukraine and China continuing to shut down parts of its (and the world's) economy for The COVID” just kind of reinforces what the article said. They’re literally pumping more money directly into the system in support of Ukraine. Consistent with the article.
Meanwhile China is using Covid to throttle supply. Their extensive lockdowns only served to drag this on much longer. They could do this shit for years. They’ve adopted an entire ideology around it (Zero Covid) and you think they’re just going to abandon it? Coincidence?
They’re the goddamn kings of Making Cheap Shit, but now that they’ve got most of the world by the balls they’re taking full advantage of this opportunity to throttle supply in the face of rising demand, thus drastically inflating the value of their entire manufacturing industry. Because what are we gonna do? Bring manufacturing back here? Every Democrat in the US has guffawed at that very idea since the day Trump started saying it on the campaign trail.
I have buddies in finance that were telling me last fall that Russia would invade Ukraine right about the time the Covid thing seemed to be coming to a logical “end” and it turned out to be exactly right. They told me—emphatically—to go long on oil. I believe I posted that here late last fall or early winter. Definitely before the invasion.
One of my best friends has been AOTC on almost everything since March 2020. He’s VERY plugged in. The ONLY thing he missed on was that another global lockdown would come as a result of Omicron. I mean, they kinda tried, but turns out too many people were basically over it by that point to really get behind anything as draconian as we had seen previously.
One of my biggest regrets is not having listened to him. He’s one of the smartest mofos I know. He makes his own luck and lives life on his own terms. But I got so sucked up in the circus sideshow that everyone else is that I kind of dismissed it while it was all unfolding.
So while he’s in his late 30s and has multiplied his net worth many times over and doesn’t even need to work anymore, I’m still toiling away trying to keep up with the rising cost of, like, fucking everything. 🤦🏻
And also, come on, man. Market manipulation, scandals, conspiracies, all that shit is as old as time.
Ok at this point, for fun, sI’m going to attempt to set a record for longest run-on sentence ever.
Behold:
It’s not really more of a stretch to believe the central bankers used Covid to try and cool down an economy that was running way too hot (we can blame that on Trump if you like) as it is to believe that this virus just emerged from a pangolin and all the developed nations in the world magically came up with this eerily similar and unprecedented authoritarian containment plan that flew in the face of science and didn’t actually work and did a lot of irreparable damage and then on top of it shouted down anyone (including well respected scientists and epidemiologists and virologists) that didn’t toe the line and then rushed a bunch of experimental vaccines to market and forced a great number of people to take them through some combination of political, financial, occupational, or social pressure that made a bunch of huge corporations (which aren’t PEOPLE!) …(with awful human rights track records) ENORMOUS profits and then it turns out the vaccines didn’t actually do a lot of what they said they’d do, but that’s ok because if we move the goalposts enough we can pretend that it’s ok they lied to us about the efficacy against contracting the virus as long as it helped against hospitalization and serious health issues but we knew, like FUCKING KNEW, before this even happened that coronaviruses are really hard to vaccinate against because they MUTATE RAPIDLY and so by golly the vaccine was presented as this cure-all but wait it really wasn’t and people get it time and time again and new variants come out but that’s also ok because if you get it time and time again and don’t die it’s because of THE VACCINE but the people who get it time and time again and also don’t die, well it’s just a matter of time before they do die, which a select subset of our society (like this guy named fucking that used to post here openly roots for) but that’s ok because it’s actually kind of funny that fat Republicans who deny the virus end up dying from it, because they’re the ones who were actually at risk all along but went way too far the other way and it bit them in the ass, and I appreciate both sides of the debate but hate that there are even two sides to begin with but I also understand that that is EXACTLY WHAT THIS WHOLE FUCKING EXERCISE WAS DESIGNED TO DO and so we have a group of people who won’t back off their stance that this was an “Existential Threat To Our Society And It Makes Me Feel Good To Wear An Ineffective Cotton Mask And Put A Thanks Dr. Fauci Sign Next To My Hate Has No Home Here Sign In My Lawn” or the group of people who think “This Is A Plandemic And I Won’t Get Chipped Because The Blood Of Jesus Is The Only Vaccine I Need” while ignoring the fact that in reality almost everyone falls somewhere in between those two extremes and has real and perfectly rational reasons for feeling the way they do but we need to lump people into camps because I watched X on Fox News and they don’t say what I want to hear or I watched X on CNN and they don’t say what I want to hear and so since my mind is small I have to assume that anyone who watches those things believes everything they say without question or any sense of skepticism because I read here that nichi’s neighbor told him over the backyard fence about some bullshit he saw something on Fox News and it indeed turned out to be bullshit and Alum rather than using his computer power to mine bitcoin uses it to google articles that confirm his bias and post them ad nauseum in response to anything that doesn’t conform to his already established and thoroughly unchangeable viewpoint and then there’s Mn posting pictures of his his culinary creations and Wingnut talking points while simultaneously using coded language to convert the burgeoning youth movement of IlliniHQ^2 to the ways of authoritarianism and nationalism and populism and racism and bigotry and neo-nazism and undying love for Halibut despite living on a pristine (except for the mutant frogs) lake somewhere in Minnesota which from what I’ve heard is cold af most of the year so the poor dude probably has to melt the icicles off his tallywhacker before he can even pour the (cold) coals to his old (literally) lady up der in the Nortland where they should subsist on a diet of nothing more than fresh caught perch, pike, bluegill, crappie, trout, mussels, seasonal vegetables, a strawberry pie followed by slow but steady lovemaking that transcends even the joy that comes with drinking an ice cold root beer made with real Wisconsin honey on a hot summer day I just hope he sends pics but let’s get back to PAMan I think you need to get out of the city more and enjoy the finer things in life like a handy and a rosé on a blanket in a moderately populated park area where you might get caught but probably won’t but just enough ambiguity to make it exciting but at the same time ILL0vE97 needs to buy more drinking water at Costco and murph needs to SELL NOW and move to Missouri where he’s truly happy and Illinikvn needs to post more and Jobu is dying (again) and Judy needs to invite me to more bourbon tastings and Tempo needs to explain the staff shortages at Outback and Lanphier needs to help me understand his relationship with Reggie and I want to know if they saw a white light at the end of the tunnel and if not then what was it eternal doom for Illinois athletics but if it was would they even be back and if Ben Wilson on the other side did he say anything about whether or not he would have been an Illini had he not been dead and has anyone asked Nick Anderson why he didn’t properly box out I mean was it an instructional issue or right place wrong time or was it the curse of Frieder like wtf happened man that was our championship to lose, sucks I hate it but here it is 30 some years later and it’s all people like Tempo can talk about but I see the replay of the 89 game at IU where Nick made that shot and the bench stormed the court and Bobby looked real mad but he didn’t throw a chair or anything actually just looked really depressed which to me is satisfying but probably not so much for Dominic but boy that game against Cuse was a barnburner and it’s like hey I can’t even be mad they made it a long way but then I remember that goddamn Michigan of all schools won that title and we kicked their asses twice that season which just hurts even more but they always say it’s hard to beat good time three times in one season but that sounds like snowflake talk to me if you are really that much better you should just beat them every time regardless of the coach or the other team or bad bounces or improper box outs or people that are important to your team having concussions this isn’t youth soccer or the pedal tractor pull at the county fair people care about this shit and your legacy and hanging a banner and doing thing the right way and graduating players and mowing your own yard and doing Navy seals training in a slimy man made pond in Urbana and having ladders as a metaphor for success and moderately stretchy wristbands made of materials that don’t decompose that have inspiration sayings on them so when you go out to Kams (RIP) you don’t bring some skank home and get herpes and a $900 a month child support payment or threaten to cut someone with your strap or make your bitch gargle ice cubes while shoving her face in the carpet of a shithole apartment while demanding your money or getting high in MPLS and cold cocking a teammate or roughing up a bitch or buying drugs from undercover cops and running all over campus from them or going home for the holidays and sharing with them the dream you’d like to play professional basketball for money or maybe pulling guns out on people or players being all Americans in practice but not seeing the floor in games hardly ever unless it’s against a severely undermanned IU team and playing well but still losing anyways but that’s ok because it was a Good Learning Experience which is how People Grow but I need to go now to watch fucking’s videos on YouTube bye

Lot to chew on here. Put it to music and you might match We Didn't Start The Fire.
People who believe in Grand Conspiracies appear to think that the "elites" are more organized and competent than they really are. So a worldwide response to an airborne virus is to tell people to stay home and mask up (but to build in so many exceptions) is evidence of a worldwide conspiracy of elite bankers to slow the world economy? The response had nothing to do with it being an airborne virus? I must have missed the 2d lockdown attempt. Is that evidence that the world bankers wanted to slow things down even more and failed? Yet they still successfully irreperably destroyed the world economy like they wanted? The same.world bankers who finance all.the office space in the world that is now being half used. Maybe you are right. I did read about the Dolphins owner cheering for a recession so workers will have to go back to offices that he owns in order to keep their jobs. Come on, dude, half this stuff in your argument does not make sense internally.
I go out way too much and went out too much when things started opening up.
I'm not a wine drinker. If I drink wine, it is at weddings because it is on the table and the bar is closed. I would drink white, regardless of what food was being served. I am always game for a handy.
While it is in there, but wasn't the response to slow the spread to mitigate the stress on the hospitals and to not overburden them any more than they were at the time?
Seems like it worked to that extent . In the meantime, a lot of people died. You seem to forget that, as they got in the way of the economy.
Did the vaccine work in preventing people from getting the virus? Doesn't seem so. Did it work in preventing people who got the virus from having to be hospitalized (until the thing started mutating and hospitalizations went down)? Arguably so.
Aren't companies moving some manufacturing out of China to diversify supply chain sources precisely because of what they are doing over there and are not considered as reliable? Also, I would expect more companies, the ones that are paying attention, to be concerned about the new Marxist ideological focus over there. That's not good for business. This can all.boomarang on them. Maybe your smart AOTC friends should invest in Vietnamese manufacturers.
I will go all Alum on you, but you omit that COVID death disportionately impactsd minority communities:
https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19/issue-brief/covid-19-cases-and-deaths-by-race-ethnicity-current-data-and-changes-over-time/
I think Alum and Mn are the best posters here, as they tend to try and back their shit up, as opposed to the rest of us.
And Big, and Little, Oil, are making up for lost profits during COVID, but they apparently supported throttling demand during the lockdowns so they lost money so they could them make it back in an inflationary economy. Very smart on their part.
People were AOTC on the Soviets attacking The Ukraine when we had one president signaling that he didn't care if it happened and then another say that a "minor excursion" would be just fine? We are pumping money into weapons in response to the invasion so The Ukraine can blow shit up and smoke Soviets. I don't get how that supports the thesis of the article at all. It's a response to the Soviet aggression.
Illinikvn does.need to post more.
Happy Father's Day.
Chump edits for typos. Fuck those central bankers for making me nead to wear Costco readers and having fat fingers. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

Nobody ever said cloth masks would protect anyone from airborne viruses. The virus is too small. It can pass through the cloth fibers. As can oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules; which are smaller than the corona virus.
That said, when we talk, yell, sing, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc. we emit lots of respiratory droplets. It was thought if a person was infected and contagious, their respiratory droplets would contain clusters of the virus. It was further thought that contact with an infected person's droplets might cause infection. Moreover, if a number of infected people gathered in a small, poorly ventilated place; such as church, cafe, or tavern; there would be a good chance the virus might become airborne.
Note that respiratory droplets are small, but much larger than the virus. A cloth mask, especially one with several layers, could serve as an effective shield to block them. So they have two possible purposes. They might have a limited value of helping block incoming respiratory droplets from an infected person. The greater value is that they might help block outgoing droplets from infected persons before the virus can become airborne.
At the end of the day, cloth masks used alone were a provisional measure until surgical and n90 masks became widely available. Even now though, a cloth mask worn over a surgical mask is recommended for locations where masks are still required.
One would have thought the conspirators would have stocked up on surgical and n90 masks before launching their plandemic.
The one conspiracy most are missing is this is a simulation of some sort. Every now and then something goes wrong, and "they" reboot. When that happens, subtle changes occur in the fabric of time and space.

Sprecher!

Wanna send me some ? And maybe a pound or two of crawfish tails while you're at it ? ;D

this is some wack shit.
I work with some of the smartest people in the world, PhD's in all sorts of arcane number theory and other wild stuff. Hell, I have a masters degree in EE with a focus on statistics. Throw in various people I interact with in my day to day life, my son's schools have had a lot of people with double digit employee numbers at Google/Facebook/etc...
The people being accused of running all these grand conspiracies are substantially dumber than the people I run with. And the people I run with know that even really smart people could not pull of the conspiracies being bandied about. I mean, Donald Trump Jr? Alex Jones? These guys can figure out the basics of grifting some really dumb people, but the conspiracies we here about are just nuts, impossible to pull off and even harder to hide.
I will say though, entirely plausible that when we say "what is Putin's end game here" - he's getting the exact end game he wants. Invading Ukraine - and making the invasion a clumsy protracted shit show - is perfect for pretty much causing chaos worldwide. If he wanted to "invade" the US, the simplest way would be to invade Ukraine, disrupt the oil markets, and then disrupt the grain markets, and let the blame game start in the west over inflation.

Sprecher is a Wisconsin thing so I’d think it should be around MN as well. Every Menards I’ve ever been in has had it along with all the other flavors of Sprecher pop. If you strike out at Menards I’ll send you some. 😬

2 places I don't go. I'll send MrsMn. She likes to tell me about the pack of veggies when she goes to Costco, twice as much for the same price at the grocery store.
The bill is usually only $150 or so. 🤣

And in the us there is a good chance inflation will elect a wave of Trumplicans to the House.
Democrats could try to explain the series of transitory events that triggered inflation. Point out that a couple things -- auto and wage related -- were pretty much unique to US. And explain that transitory things can last years let alone months. That would answer the 3 mocking questions the right likes to pose.
While I find that interesting, most people do not. It's easier to try and divert attention to other relevant concerns: January 6, Roe V Wade, gun violence ...

They cannot do that because many of them would then have to apologize to Joe Manchin.

I get you are being sarcastic, but Manchin voted for both stimulus acts that passed. The build back better act he vetoed had provisions to help with supply.
It is demonstrably true that supply chain inflation is global and was triggered by the post covid lock down recovery. That is transient, but could take a long time to recover.
The US had auto inflation, both new and used, that did not affect Asia or Europe to the same extent because they have decent public transportation.
The US had had huge wage inflation in the service / hospitality sector. A doubling. The rest of the developed world already paid living wages.
Oh, they didn't have the same massive CARES ACT or the American Rescue Plan in Japan or Europe? Didn't they already have better social insurance programs in place?
That explains why our inflation was ahead of Europe and Asia. Now, they have virtually caught up thanks to Putin's war.
Of course the right wing is blaming the poor and government relief programs for inflation. And the corporate media is coming around.

I know some of these people personally. Someone with the verbal skills of FDR, Bill Clinton, or Obama could sway enough. Some would actually understand the nuances. Others would feel like the leader did.
I am pretty sure neither Biden nor Harris are up to the task. I don't see that charismatic confidence instilling leader out there right now for Dems. Someone needs to emerge.

From the last primary, the closest would be Mayor Pete, in terms of eloquence, but he isn't particularly charismatic. Booker is charismatic but not as eloquent. Bernie is smart but neither eloquent or charismatic. Beto is charismatic but he goes off into the weeds and gets lost then finally gets back and I'm not exactly sure what he was talking about. You can tell Warren knows a lot but decides to make stuff up that doesn't make any sense, when if she just went with her actual principles she'd be fine, instead her pandering just makes her look dumb because it's not even good pandering. Klobuchar and Gillebrand just suck - Gillebrand more so because she was advocating for bitcoin in 401k's. Inslee is very smart but has zero presence. After that it just sort of sucks in general.
My prediction - as much as I hated the guy as Mayor, Newsom might just get his wish. The problem being that Harris being from California might be a blockade, which would be just as useful as Hillary being in the way of Biden in 2016

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/19008732/police-hate-incident-boy-shorty/
cops opened a “hate incident” file after a boy of 11 was called “shorty”.
Police stepped in after the jibe in the street at the kid, who was also dubbed a “leprechaun”.
But critics say such “non-crime hate incidents”, as they are officially known, have spiralled out of control.
Josie Appleton, director of freedom of speech group the Manifesto Club, blasted: “It beggars belief that one child calling another ‘shorty’ becomes a police matter.”
And Andrew Allison, Chief Executive of the Freedom Association, said: “Something is either a crime or it isn’t.
“Non-crime hate incidents are a threat to free speech and should be consigned to the dustbin of history.”
He said the decision by cops in Wiltshire to open a file could also affect the accused’s employment prospects — as their report could show up in criminal records checks for six years.
There is no right to appeal, leading critics to accuse police chiefs of acting as the “Stasi by stealth”.
The College of Policing defines non-crime hate incidents as those “perceived by the victim or any others to be motivated by hostility or prejudice”.
Around 10,000 such incidents are recorded every year.
The kids’ spat was just one of several barmy cases uncovered by The Sun in the past 12 months.
In one recent case, cops in Essex dished out a warning to an antiques market trader who was spotted with a book for sale about TV’s The Black and White Minstrel Show.

I can understand how we wind up with horrific Presidential candidates. Voters. There is a reason why the vote was once limited to land owning men who could pass a literacy test.
htf do incompetent dimwits like Dan Quayle, Sarah Palin, and Kamala Harris get picked to be VP? They were hand picked and presumably vetted.

Not a huge Kamala fan but those other two are a couple of orders of magnitude more dimwitted. Harris won the AG role in California and it was a reasonable choice, chosen by millions more voters than even exist in Alaska. Palin's existence on that stage is pure accident.
-

Joe was picked because of his purported foreign policy expertise. My recollection was his being chosen was due to an overreaction caused by some international event at the time and the word was Obama lacked any foreign policy experience. Google it Big97Man.
-
Joe acted kind of weird at times when he was VP, but he was not incompetent. That seems to have been a more recent development. Also, there might have been some Bob Dole syndrome. Dole was very good in person, not good on TV.
Reagan, W, and Trump picked VPs that were more qualified for the job than themselves, just not good candidates.
Gore was a competent VP, but his annoying personality made him a weak candidate. He should have won easily running on Clinton's economic record against a guy who presented as a likeable idiot.
Just wonder how someone like Harris, Palin, or Quayle could slip through a vetting process. Or Perot's pick, Stockdale.
I was thinking the same way a guy like Tim Beckman even gets considered here, but I think that was more because nobody else would work for the AD.

Well, Grange can be happy that the Trumpists are just too crazy for 80% of his current and my former state.

The US elected Trump in 2016, 4 years before COVID. Is it even possible to be dumber?
Meanwhile, 40% of Americans and 70% of Republicans believe Trump won the 2020 election.
I realized something was amiss back in grade school. They gave us some kind of test and said I scored in the top 3%. I figured I was pretty stupid, and if 97% were even stupider; then we were in trouble. To make matters worse, most of my classmates had a high estimation of their own abilities and intelligence. The dumber ones even tended to see themselves as the smartest. This was decades before Dunning and Kruger published their study confirming what Laozi observed 2500 years ago.

Don't do any of those ? Oh, well.

Republicans are making the idiotic argument that theoretical so-called indirect taxation violates Biden's promise not to raise income taxes on people making less than 400 thousand. One idiot calls it a lower and middle class tax increase.
They aren't even talking about indirect taxation in the technical sense. They appear to be saying that taxes on the rich trickle down. There is the old saying that businesses do not pay taxes, they collect them from their customers.
One counter is if you are taking that approach; then be consistent, also talk about the actual and potential indirect benefits.
Energy is affordable? Wow! High energy prices is one the biggest components of the 40 year high CPI. Reducing energy costs will reduce the CPI
You are really going to argue that a tax increase on a rich corporation or a wealthy person is really a lower and middle class tax increase; then say a tax credit to middle class person is really a stimulus to megacap corp?
Making sure people can afford healthcare and prescription drugs is not inflationary. It helps keep inflation in check. The last thing we need is another round of soaring healthcare costs.
Deficit reduction might also help some with inflation.
It's questionable how much inflation is due to demand. We know it is global and related to post covid supply side disruptions. Good news I have noticed the truck traffic around here is approaching 2019 levels.
I don't think there is much more long-term the government can do beyond maintain the transportation, healthcare, education, and public safety infrastructures -- 3 out of 4 which Republicans see as wasteful spending.

Republicans are making the idiotic argument that theoretical so-called indirect taxation violates Biden's promise not to raise income taxes on people making less than 400 thousand. One idiot calls it a lower and middle class tax increase.
They aren't even talking about indirect taxation in the technical sense. They appear to be saying that taxes on the rich trickle down. There is the old saying that businesses do not pay taxes, they collect them from their customers.
One counter is if you are taking that approach; then be consistent, also talk about the actual and potential indirect benefits.
Energy is affordable? Wow! High energy prices is one the biggest components of the 40 year high CPI. Reducing energy costs will reduce the CPI
You are really going to argue that a tax increase on a rich corporation or a wealthy person is really a lower and middle class tax increase; then say a tax credit to middle class person is really a stimulus to megacap corp?
Making sure people can afford healthcare and prescription drugs is not inflationary. It helps keep inflation in check. The last thing we need is another round of soaring healthcare costs.

government spending has actually been decreasing quite substantially already in 2022 and yet inflation keeps rampaging

inflation will not decline until M2 declines which it has just barely started to do from April this year, who knows where it will go when the government is handing out another 700 billion to their cronies

and finally you really think EV manufacturers are going to lower prices of their cars because of a tax credit? Guess what, all they do is charge $7500 more or whatever the tax credit is on the MSRP of their vehicles making them prohibitively more expensive and thus increasing inflation on those vehicles and money trickling up to shareholders due to increased revenues brought in... remember when the model 3 was going to cost 35k? well now its 50k and with tesla getting their tax credit back I would wager on it costing hmmm... around 57.5k next year

Very few Tesla cars will be eligible for tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill caps the price of eligible new EVs at $55,000 for most passenger cars and $80,000 for trucks, vans and SUVs. Popular EV models eligible for the proposed rebates include Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Volkswagen ID.4, Ford Mach-E, and the upcoming Ford F-150 Lightning.
Also looks like the proposed legislation doesn’t apply to imported EVs and new EV buyers with an annual taxable income of greater than $150,000 ($300,000 for joint filers).
The $4,000 tax credit for buying a used EV got my attention.

Increasing or decreasing the money supply in and of itself does not affect inflation. The simple explanation is when the money supply increases faster than the economy is growing, inflation can occur.

Yeah, let’s keep the existing inefficient system that has multiple entities negotiating simultaneously – (aka, the Republican way).
Governing is hard. You have to start somewhere to deal with exorbitant drug prices and this is the best deal that could be struck. The bill sets criteria for choosing which drugs to target, such as drugs that have been around a while, don’t have cheaper alternatives and that Medicare spends a lot on.
Plenty of good targets like Orencia (for rheumatoid arthritis) and pricey cancer therapies.

Went in for my annual former smoker CT. I used the same back roads as last year. I always leave extra time in case of trains, detours or whatever. This year compared the last couple heavy trucker traffic cost me time. They drive slower, take longer to stop and get up to speed. They are also hard to pass on county roads. The corn and beans looked really good for late June / early July.
We did some shopping. There were a lot more NE Illinois exurbanites out and about, almost back to precovid. They were driving very agressively and mostly ignoring the posted speed limits. Those who drove sanely got honked at, flipped off, etc. I bet over half the people we saw were obese and looked generally unpleasant.
We stopped by Best Buy. There was some kind of rage incident. I couldn't tell if was a disgruntled associate or customer. Police showed up.
My CT was good enough.

We're going to have to disagree on weaker characters like Bass and the Darlings. Those characters were great. I think all of it was great up until it went to color and after Knotts was gone. Then it was done.

In order to vote, you need to be mailed a ballot (because you registered to vote) or go to the polls and have your name seen on the rolls there (because you registered to vote). You won't get that physical ballot or have your name on the rolls to be given a ballot at the poll unless you register.
To sign a recall petition, you need a pen. The signature gatherer will hand you one. Test it out, come out to SF some April when they are gathering signatures for ballot measures, and see if they even ask where you live or if you are registered to vote. I tell them "I live in Sonoma County" and they will say "well, you can sign it an then they'll check if you are registered". Because the signature gatherers are paid by signature. More handsomely by well funded campaigns, for example a bunch of rich Republicans trying to recall a "progressive" DA (Gascon is an asshole btw)
Yet somehow you think the rejection rate on a recall petition would be the same as in an actual election?

"Joshua Spivak, an expert on recall elections and a senior fellow at the Hugh L. Carey Institute at Wagner College, said the signature rejection rate was “within the range” of past California recalls. He pointed out that most of the rejections happened not because of the signatures themselves, but because the signers were not registered voters or signed multiple times."

Some of this is partially true and points to one of the failures of capitalism. We can likely agree that capitalism is an economic system with private enterprise and free markets. The far opposite is socialism, an economic system with government enterprise and central planning.
What we have is neither, we have private enterprise and central planning. Instead of central planning by socialist government bureaucrats in the public interest, we have central planning by private monopolies in their own interests.
Meanwhile, democracy has also failed. Different big business interests pretty much own both political parties. The perception is Democrats are too busy censoring pronouns and putting criminals back on the streets to pursue antitrust legislation. They appear to be the party of wealthy yuppies who live in waterfront mansions and fly private jets to climate conferences.
Meanwhile, Republicans are now the party of illiberalism, theocracy, white nationalism, science denial, book banning, tax fraud, voter suppression, police brutality, incels ... Economic Libertarianism / laissez faire just makes it easier for the monopolies. We need better government, not less.

I was pricing Thai jasmine rice. There is a mail order shop in FL that that has a 5 lb bag of lucky elephant brand for almost 30 bucks. I can buy the exact same bag at Berkot's for less than 10 dollars. I wonder what is up with that?

I’ve noticed that buying food and daily use type items online vs locally isn’t often a winning proposition.
When ordering online many times these items are already on display for sale in a brick and mortar store. Someone has to field the order, physically pull the item, scan it, pack it up, and put it out for pickup. That’s expensive.
The aggregators also generally use a dynamic pricing algorithm. If an item is selling like hot cakes at low margin the price automatically inches up. Sometimes when supply is low the dynamic price ends up getting insane.
I keep an eye on some online aggregate retailers of meat and liquor. It’s not hard to find prices that make zero sense whatsoever.

Goggling to seek to find the Genesis of this, it appears to be a few years old.
But the Goggle did have this:
https://b1039.com/2020/11/09/survey-shows-growing-number-of-men-are-sitting-down-to-urinate/
This, according to a poll done in Japan by Panasonic, shows now that men are spending more time at home due to work from home changes, they have become concerned about stains on and around the toilet. To break it down, Japanese men want to keep the bathroom cleaner since they’re home more often.
The survey was conducted in August of 2020 and showed that 70 percent of men sat during urination, compared to a similar survey conducted 5 years ago which showed 51 percent.

We’ll be better without her!
In her first weekend on the campaign trail in a new alliance with New Hampshire GOP Senate candidate and on-again-off-again election denier Don Bolduc, Tulsi Gabbard compared President Joe Biden to Adolf Hitler.
Speaking at a Bolduc town hall event in a town outside of Manchester on Sunday, the former Hawaii congresswoman and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate stipulated that she’s “pretty sure” both Biden and Hitler share a “mindset” of good intentions to justify authoritarian behavior, according to audio obtained by The Daily Beast.
“And this is something that is, you know, throughout history, we look at authoritarian leaders and dictators in other countries,” Gabbard said in a tangent about Biden’s Philadelphia speech from September on anti-democratic extremism among “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans.”
“I'm pretty sure they all believe they’re doing what’s best,” Gabbard continued. “Even Hitler thought he was doing what was best for Germany, right? For the German race. In his own mind, he found a way to justify the means to meet his end. So when we have people with that mindset, well, you know we’ve got to do whatever it takes because, as President Biden said in that speech in Philadelphia, that those who supported Trump, those who didn't vote for him are extremists and a threat to our democracy.”
Representatives for Gabbard and the Bolduc campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Yet, odds are the GOP still ends up taking the majority of the races you listed. But hey, you are right: Manchin and Sinema suck! We don't want them anyway!

Fetterman is 1,000x better than Lamb. State-wide elected official that is progressive with a blue collar streak that can appeal to a wide array of people. Assuming he recovers from his stroke fully, and he should, he could very well be running for president in 2028. Lamb was good for winning that one purple district he is in. He would not stoke turnout in the major cities in Pennsylvania enough to win a statewide race even against Oz.
Here is how I handicap the close senate races:

Warnock over Walker in GA in a squeaker because it's Georgia
Johnson over Barnes in WI even though Ron Johnson might be one of the stupidest human beings on the planet
Vance over Ryan in OH but closer than it should be in Ohio because Ryan has run a damn good campaign. JD Vance is trash but it is Ohio after all.
Kelly over Masters in AZ because astronauts are always better than fascists, even in Arizona
Budd over Beasley in NC in a fairly close outcome
Rubio over Demings in FL because it's Florida. They would elect Hitler if given the chance.
Masto should win re-election in NV but it looks close
I show a net pick-up for Democrats of 1 seat but there are a lot of very close races in potential pick-up states. I just want the election done so I can start watching live tv again without seeing the same 3 political ads ad nauseum.

Fetterman is 1,000x better than Lamb. State-wide elected official that is progressive with a blue collar streak that can appeal to a wide array of people. Assuming he recovers from his stroke fully, and he should, he could very well be running for president in 2028. Lamb was good for winning that one purple district he is in. He would not stoke turnout in the major cities in Pennsylvania enough to win a statewide race even against Oz.

You may want to wear your cup on election day.

Fetterman? Stoke guy? Over Lamb? Ok.... We will see how that goes.
And Warnock in a battle with Abortion Guy, but it is GA. The rest, pfft.
Is your assessment that despite Warnock being the incumbent, he should have not entered the primary despite winning against an incumbent 18 months ago?
Fetterman's stroke was a few days before the primary, well after most of the votes were in. Are you saying he should have dropped out after winning the primary? A popular Lt Gov that basically screams "I am Western PA" vs Conor Lamb who screams "I am Warm Milk"

I don't watch a lot of TV, so I've been able to escape most of it. Neither the districts I permanently reside in nor the one I am currently at have competitive races for statewide or congressional offices, but two competing ballot props legalizing sports betting are two of the most expensive elections ever. Basically one lets DraftKings do sports betting, one lets the Indians do sports betting. Both sides are running ads against the other side's props railing on the evils of gambling, that will be allowed by their own props.
What I can't wait for is the text messages to stop. You buy one BIDEN mask as a goof and your phone becomes a better vibrator than The Rabbit (TM)

First, I mentioned that all of the races listed were winnable but that the GOP would probably win the majority of them.
Warnick is fine as a candidate. Will see how he does when it is an off election. The rest, shaky at best.
Nothing wrong with Lamb either. Probably would have beaten Oz. If Fetterman is popular as you claim, he shouldn't be in a race at all with Oz.
You sure do love Lt. Governors. They don't do jack shit and no one knows who they even are.

Still don’t understand why Herschel Walker being an actual candidate is even a thing. Politics are a joke.

Abortion this abortion that worked sure sounded good in the summer. Problem is not everyone is shopping for an abortion, but they are shopping at the supermarket.
If turnout is good, they obviously have a good shot. If it is standard non presidential election turnout, I'm skeptical.

Pritzker is way better than Rauner.
A political ad told me I should vote for Bailey because he is an expert at growing food and Pritzker is just rich.
Another said to vote against Pritzker because some professor was sexually trafficked as a young woman and forced to have abortions and Pritzker opposes parents.

Rauner only "barely" got elected in 2014 in a Republican wave year against a weak, unpopular incumbent (Pat Quinn) and then acted like he had some mandate from the people. He desperately wanted to be the Illinois version of Scott Walker or Mike Pence. He governed arrogantly and badly, and most people saw him as the rich phony he is. Toss-up between who is the worst governor in my lifetime: Blagojevich or Rauner.

You sure do love Lt. Governors. They don't do jack shit and no one knows who they even are.
Warnock won election to the Senate in a runoff. That's as "off election" as you can get.
Gavin Newsom has a 30% chance of being the Democratic nominee. He was groomed for Governor as Lt Gov.
Fetterman isn't in a race with Oz. The closest that race ever gets is 6 points, and when you get down to brass tacks, Fetterman's persona will enthuse his voters, people will vote *for* Fetterman. Nobody is voting *for* Oz - they are just voting against "The Democrat". That's not a recipe for success.
What's so amusing about this thread is you are saying that the *Democrats* are putting up bad candidates, when the GOP has trotted out Herschel Walker, Mehmet Oz, Blake Masters and JD Vance. Tim Ryan being close in Ohio is solely a function of Vance being despicable. Had the GOP found a full slate of "Adam Laxalt - generic Republican", this could be a lot different. It is ironic, the rabid base that has elected the nutters would show up for "Generic Republican" but there are enough of them to defeat "Generic Republican" in the primary, so we are left with nutcases that depress Generic Republican turnout and can't win independents.

Road construction started right after Pritzker took office in Jan 2019.
Rauner's solution was to defund transportation.
Republicans spread lies to scare old people and defeat Pritzker's graduated tax amendment.
If Dems get blamed for inflation and crime; then Pritzker should get credit for budget surpluses. Republican dickheads should not be able to have it both ways.

Yeah, Rauner was trying to balance the books on his own since Madigan and Cullerton, one guilty of fraud the other soon to be be, weren't interested in helping.
Oh JFC, that fuck's tax amendment failed because be is a hypocritical fuck face with all his off shore trusts. And that tax avoiding piece of shit proposed a tax increase amendment with no resulting property tax decrease guarantee.
How long have you lived in Illinois? Hopefully the budget surplus lasts without fed help.

George Ryan is a nice guy, but he was apparently almost as corrupt as the Daileys. Looking back, maybe guys like Ed Madigan and Jim Edgar were compromised too?

Rauner wasn’t interested in getting the state’s fiscal house in order. He weaponized the state budget negotiations to achieve three anti-union goals: turn Illinois into a right-to-work state, change laws affecting worker’s compensation and bust the teachers’ unions. He thought he could peel off the Black caucus and progressives but ended up uniting the Democrats behind Madigan.
The state went through a two-year budget impasse, and the backlog of unpaid bills grew to $16 billion under Rauner. As Jim Edgar once said: "Illinois government did work. But then we had bad luck with a couple of governors."

Rauner (and his fat cat buddies Ken Griffin and Richard Uihlein) had just one goal in mind: bust the labor unions, particularly the public sector ones. If it meant not paying the state bills, letting infrastructure rot, slashing social services and gutting higher-ed, so be it. No wonder he lost the next election so badly for an incumbent.
https://news.wttw.com/2015/10/01/rauner-slashes-social-services-cites-lack-state-budget
Rauner came in with some goodwill and had a chance to help rebuild the deteriorating Republican political apparatus, which was losing seats in the collar counties, recruiting terrible candidates for the House and whiffing on elections for statewide offices like Secretary of State and Treasurer.
Rauner was a putz compared to Jim Edgar, Judy Baar Topinka, Jim Ryan and even George Ryan. They played the long game, knew how to build coalitions and recruited competent people to run their operations and agencies. Rauner surrounded himself with sycophants and flatterers.
Rauner talked a big game. Loved his phony flannel shirts, cowboy boots and motorcycle vests. He turned out to be just another rich, pompous dipshit who couldn’t govern his way out of a paper bag.

Progressive income tax is a start. Allowing the roads to crumble is not a plan. In England, they drive on the left. In Illinois, we were driving on what was left.

So you say, the state is bankrupt, they don't have enough money to pay for services. But raising taxes to correct that is no good, because there is no guarantee that they won't lower the taxes to offset the tax increase that we need to pay for the services.

read the report,
The "internal, confidential document by the inspector general's office, which was looking into the assessor's office, that was leaked for political purposes in this last month of a campaign"?
"In 2007, Pritzker and his wife bought a second mansion next to the one they live in on Chicago's Astor Street, for $3.7 million.
...
that mansion remained vacant and was allowed to fall into disrepair.
in October 2015, , the Pritzkers had five toilets removed from the second house so that it would be classified as "uninhabitable"
...
On October 2 2018
"Pritzker said he would pay the Cook County treasurer's office $330,000 by the end of the week. The day before, he had defended the deduction, saying he had "followed the rules."

What I am saying is, if you are going to raise income tax rates, you had to have institutionalized changes to the property tax system. Otherwise, we all know what was going to happen.
No property tax relief, no rise in the income tax. Pretty simple, Nichi. But Pritzker, Madigan, Cullerton, and all the pols who are in the property tax appeals business did not want that.

For all the bitching about Trump and Evangelicals taking over the GOP, you had a non-culture warrior (who even expanded abortion access funding) and the Dem Criminal Cabal would not play. He started cutting and slashing and it was brutal and did not do anyone any good and still nothing.

I voted for Thompson, Topinka and Jim Ryan. Almost voted for Edgar the first time around. They were all moderate Republicans who understood the responsibility of governing and reaching across the aisle.
By contrast, Rauner was a fat-cat, dismissive ideologue who held the state budget hostage for his union-busting agenda. He drove the state into the ditch. Good riddance.

Bull fucking shit.
The individual income tax rate in Illinois is 4.95%
The proposed brackets had the question passed...
For single and joint filers earning less than $250,000 per year, the first $10,000 would be taxed at 4.75%, then income between that and $100,000 would be taxed at 4.9%. From there, up to $250,000, the rate would be 4.95%, where it stands today.
The median household income in Illinois is $69,000. Someone making the median income would get a tax cut of $230 - roughly 8.2 lunches at Taco Bell using your FOX Business news math.
Median household income means that half of the households make less than this - by construction then, most people would get a tax cut. QED.

When Rauner started to slash funding for social services, high-ed, local governments, schools, infrastructure, etc., the fight was on. He managed to unite the various caucuses within the Democratic party. Madigan and Cullerton barely had to lift a finger to organize the opposition. Their existence didn’t even matter. What happened to the labor movement in Wisconsin and Indiana wasn’t going to work in a state like Illinois, with its long and proud history of collective bargaining and labor organizing.
Rauner should have played the long game. First stop the hemorrhaging and splintering within the GOP party organization. Recruit better candidates to run for office. Work to elect more Republicans to the House and take control of the Senate. That would have given him leverage to seek labor reforms down the road, probably in his second term. Instead, he decided to blow up the state budgetary process in his first two years of office.
Here’s another thing. As you know, not all labor unions are in bed with the Democrats. The construction trades, teamsters, electrical workers, plumbers and public safety unions tend to be more conservative and will support moderate Republicans. Rauner’s sledgehammer approach left these unions with no place to go but to form an alliance with the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, UAW and Illinois Federation of Teachers.
And we all know the rest of the story.

The taxes in Illinois are plenty high enough. But hey, tax and spend Democrats gonna tax and spend. The way things are going they won’t have enough actual earners to tax to death at some point. It’s telling that the retired guys with grown children here are the ones advocating for overall higher taxes.
The property taxes are 1/3 (dollar for dollar on property value) here compared to Illinois. And we lived in a rural area in IL and a new, very nice suburban area here. State income taxes are essentially half. The roads and public schools are nice. Budgets are balanced. Middle wage earners live very well here compared to back home because they get to keep a lot more of their money.
I’ll keep believing my own eyes rather than articles arguing for more of the same shitty government and politics that got Illinois into this mess in the first place.

Here’s another thing. As you know, not all labor unions are in bed with the Democrats. The construction trades, teamsters, electrical workers, plumbers and public safety unions tend to be more conservative and will support moderate Republicans. Rauner’s sledgehammer approach left these unions with no place to go but to form an alliance with the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, UAW and Illinois Federation of Teachers.
And we all know the rest of the story.
We certainly know the rest of the story.

Holy shit, 8.53% state income tax rate over 78k? 🤯🤯🤯
The flat tax looks like a huge win for all but the very lowest earners, and not taxing retirement income is great as well.
I really hate being double taxed, but it’s pretty much unavoidable.

Yeah it's pretty bad over there right now. Also, I think their vehicle registration is fairly high as well, based on the year or value of the vehicle. That was the one good thing we had going in Illinois until fatfuckface came in and jacked up vehicle registrations. What was the biggest joke was small trailers. Used to be $18 a year, and then they added $100 to that. I just stopped paying it. Fuck em. I believe they did get it back down to $36 but that is still doubling it. I've yet to get my registration current and probably won't. I don't think the county cops give a shit and the trailer sits for 95% of the year anyway.

What are the property taxes like in Iowa?
Not as bad as Illinois. About in the middle compared to the other states. Scott County Iowa (part of the Quad Cities), a $200k home would have about $2,700 in property taxes. That would easily be $1k more if it was in Rock Island County across the river.
-
The taxes in Illinois are plenty high enough. But hey, tax and spend Democrats gonna tax and spend. The way things are going they won’t have enough actual earners to tax to death at some point. It’s telling that the retired guys with grown children here are the ones advocating for overall higher taxes.
The property taxes are 1/3 (dollar for dollar on property value) here compared to Illinois. And we lived in a rural area in IL and a new, very nice suburban area here. State income taxes are essentially half. The roads and public schools are nice. Budgets are balanced. Middle wage earners live very well here compared to back home because they get to keep a lot more of their money.
I’ll keep believing my own eyes rather than articles arguing for more of the same shitty government and politics that got Illinois into this mess in the first place.

Whatever state you go to, everyone bitches about the tax that is "too high". The income tax in CA is too high. But our property taxes are low to begin with, and if you've owned your home for a while, they are ridiculously low. There are 3 million dollar homes in SF that have under 500 a year in property taxes, and your heirs can inherit that basis. It's a horrible ponzi scheme, older residents benefitted for their school districts at property tax assessments that matched the cost of living, newer residents now get underfunded schools. Or they get funded by sales taxes which also target younger demographics.
The only places that seem to avoid the argument that this tax or that tax is too high, are Florida and Nevada, because they rely on taxing non-residents. One thing that will be very interesting when DeSantis starts firing up his Presidential campaign, will the Florida budget in two years. No matter how much money the feds are throwing at Florida, their economy is going to be completely fucked. When you rely on tourist occupancy taxes, then you have a massive hurricane that destroys huge chunks of your tourist sector, those taxes vanish at a time you need to spend money to support rebuilding and services for people whose jobs won't return for 2-3 years. While Florida has no income tax, their property tax is roughly average, but it will be a lot easier for people in Ft Meyers Beach to say their home is uninhabitable than it was for Pritzker.

And maybe 4-5x higher in Cook County depending upon where you live? This is what I'm talking about Murph, and Nichi. People in IL are not going to approve higher income tax rates without a resulting change in the property tax system.
On one hand, I know where the property taxes are going - directly to the local schools. The problem is that this system sucks for poorer communities. They need to alter the property tax system in connection with a progressive income tax (and, probably add pension taxation) or else it is not going to work.

You forgot to mention and probably living on untaxed by the state pensions. Not that there is anything wrong with that other than being unsustainable.

I could see taxing retirement benefits over a certain amount, but propose that an the right wing will say see, they are raising taxes on poor seniors, just like we said. It would be a lie, but that is what Republicans do.
Right now they are a running an ad with Joe Rogan, saying if we reelect Pritzker we'll have a new no bail purge law with mandatory release for rapists, serial killers, child molesters, illegal aliens, and even people who commit voter fraud.

Probably a red state that rakes in a lot of federal money.

Good for the wealthy, not so good for the poor. It’s also not truly a flat tax because lots of tax credits and exemptions remain in the Iowa tax code.
The flat tax plan relies in part on sizable savings the state has accumulated as federal dollars flowed in to help states compensate for economic loss due the COVID-19 pandemic. Those dollars are temporary, and they were intended to be spent helping families in communities.
https://www.bleedingheartland.com/2021/10/17/iowa-governor-wrongly-claims-credit-for-large-budget-surplus/
It is also based on optimistic projections that Iowa’s annual tax revenue growth won’t drop from levels seen in the last decade.
I hope Iowa doesn’t end up like Kansas. Stayed tuned.

This sort of thing is some really great intellectual dishonesty by the right.
Let's say you're Nevada. No state income tax, a lot of other taxes are generally low. Because they have a super high transient occupancy tax, that is paid by tourists on their lodging bill. In Lake Tahoe, the transient occupancy tax is 14%
The shell game played there, is that tourists don't care what part of the bill is tax and what part is rent. They look at the all in cost. So if a room is $85 with a $15 tax, or $100 with zero tax, to the tourist, it's the same.
So just like a tariff, the tax isn't paid by the tourist, it's paid by the *landlord*. But it's not just a tax paid by the landlord itself, but trickles down in the form of reduced wages to the staff.
The staff doesn't care if they got paid $8.50 an hour with no tax, or $10 with $1.50 tax - in the end it's $8.50 into their bank account. It just feels better if the actual tax was collected from the tourist and resulted in reduced wages, instead of them paying tax on increased wages.

And to further my previous point - there are more, better, and higher paying jobs in Chicago, than say Orlando. That's a function of the State investing in itself via tax revenues. You pay more taxes, but your wages are higher too. The median income in Illinois is 35,000, the median income in Florida is $29,000. Unless Illinois is taking an extra 18% in taxes from you, you come out ahead.

Looks like the Illinois state sales tax rate is pretty much in line with nearby states.

Of course, the overall sales tax rate is higher in some areas of the state because certain local jurisdictions (i.e., home rule units) are allowed to impose their own taxes that can be combined with the state sales tax.

But the cost of living is probably lower.
That's generally true, but it's still better in the modern world to have a high wage in a high cost state than a low wage in a low wage state.
First off, the cost of say, a new Honda CRV, or a Dell Laptop, or a YouTube subscription are the same no matter where you live. True for many items, and that list is increasing with the ubiquity of Amazon.
More importantly, let's say a typical Chicagoan and a typical Floridian both sock away 10% of their income towards retirement. The Chicagoan will save up 50% more than the Floridian. Which is not that big a deal because the cost of living is higher in Chicago....
Until the Chicagoan retires to Florida, increasing the value of their nest egg. The best part being that if a hurricane destroys your retirement pad, Joe Biden will take a bunch of Federal taxes most of which are collected in higher cost states where residents are in higher brackets, and sends it to bail you out.

This said, the globalization of a lot of prices - making things like Dell laptops cheaper, has meant the cost of such items are going down for people in high cost states, but that money has just flown into increasing the cost of housing.

Chesa Boudin wasn't very popular, he was recalled with ease. We've had a lot of shithead DA's here, when you really get down to it, the BEST District Attorney we've had is probably the current Vice President! A lot of that comes down to it being an elected position but one which people don't really know too much about the candidates - the elections here that get the focus are the City Supervisors and Mayor.
One year, some dude from the SF Board of Supervisors ran for ... Sheriff. No law enforcement background. Yet somehow this guy, because he was a darling of "The Progressives" starts with some name recognition and has the money to put out mailers and ads, and he wins. Within a year he's charged with all sorts of weird domestic violence stuff, false imprisonment, it was a wack ass story. He's suspended for a while, the board refused to fire him, he gets the job BACK, runs for re-election, and gets his ass handed to him.
These races are just like Secretary of State races. In a swing-ish state in a year that isn't hyper-partisan 2022, it is mostly decided by a combo of a little prior name recognition and money.
but I take anything the SF cops say with a grain of salt. The SFPD is a pile of dog turds. I mean sure, they aren't the violent wack jobs of LA or the corrupt assholes in NY or Boston, but...
I've needed them, they were useless in those instances.
A cop once followed me while I was riding my bike to the bus stop that is on the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge. He pulled me over and yelled at me that I needed to ride on the sidewalk. I impolitely informed him that it's illegal to ride on the sidewalk in California. He said "There's a sign back there that says Bikes Prohbited", I invited him to get out of his cruiser and walk back there to show me this imaginary sign. Finally he said "I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree" and I said "I think we can both agree you're going to have a lovely trip to Marin County" (he had entered the bridge and his only option at that point was crossing to Sausalito and turning around"
Of course, if I were black he would have cuffed me and beat the crap out of me.
Then of course there is this awesome story....

On another front: Guess Lindsey and Ted made him excited. Only the best and brightest you know.
With his Georgia Senate race hanging in the balance, Republican candidate Herschel Walker had an unfortunate slip of the tongue as he tried to drum up support for his campaign Tuesday night. Flanked by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Walker spoke on Fox News about the significance of his election. “This election is about more than Herschel Walker,” he said. “This erection is about the people.” Neither Cruz nor Graham appeared to clock the gaffe, but the clip quickly went viral and sent #Erection trending on Twitter overnight. The faux pas came after a woman who accused Walker of pressuring her into having an abortion on Tuesday challenged Walker to meet her in person after he dismissed her allegations as a “lie.”

That's a bit of a stretch.
Aside from "The Left" not being some sort of genetic tribe like "Eskimos" or even a coherent developed tribe like "The Bears Fans", he's pretty much been bonkers for years, and huge swaths of "The Everyone" knows it.
Doesn't mean that the Tesla isn't pretty decent technology, and fairly awesome car and a pathway to potentially powering individual transport with non-fossil fuel. Doesn't mean that the solar panels and the battery tech isn't great. Doesn't mean that the rockets aren't cool (albeit why on earth we would use the rocket fuel on tourist trips I have no idea).
I bought a bunch of Tesla stock when I just thought of Musk as a bit of a mercurial guy. I posted as such in the famous jasn88 threads where he was shorting Facebook and Google. I sold it at 350 before the splits, it would be worth a lot more today. But I just decided the dude was flat out crazy. Entirely possible that Tesla stock goes below my sales price - he's doing enormous damage to his brand at the exact time that other automakers are rolling out more EVs.
My big red flags were the Hyperloop and Boring. Boring is basically "add another lane to the freeway", which hasn't worked for LA ever, and now you need to add a bottleneck at the start of the added lane with his elevators. Hyperloop is vaporware. Then he started getting into pissing matches on twitter with people who pointed this out, and it was clear that he's not Tony Stark, he's just some dude who fell into a bunch of money.

He gave a ton of money to the Republicans too. It was just more relevant to give money to the Democrats because Pelosi was the speaker. He didn't care about their politics - he just cared that whomever was in charge stayed away from his ponzi scheme as long as possible.
I mean if we are going to talk about donations, FTX bought the naming rights to the Miami Heat Arena for 135 Million, going straight to the pocket of their owner, a big Rubio/Scott/DeSantis donor.

The Buddha said internal corruption would destroy the monastic sangha within 1000 years. After Ananda persuaded him to admit nuns, he reduced that to 500 years.
These days, in most traditions, the monks (or mahayana clergy) largely earn their keep by doing extraneous stuff like exorcisms, blessings, or love spells for lay members.
In some cases, martial arts are stressed over the 8 fold path. Some dojos are even fronts for other stuff.

You might be surprised. You would think Trump is a competent business man. He is wealthy and viewed as a leader.
There was another story about monks from rival temples fighting over prime begging rounds.
Buddhism today is mostly devotional prayer. The average Buddhist in Asia is interested in protection from demons and material blessings or does not take it seriously. Serious meditative practices are more popular in the west.
There are also some who still take their vows and the 8 fold path seriously, and lament the current depraved conditions.
There are 1500 year old disagreements on what to do about it. Some stress a more rigid and disciplined approach; others favor tolerance and compassion.

Once a religious order becomes established, corruption creeps in. Some don't actually practice, but instead use the power structure for personal gain. The Buddha said that would happen.

This FTX story is just incredible, layered on top of the already incredible bitcoin story.
The amount of weird financial contagion caused by this is staggering.
One day in November, there were bitcoin trades resulting in 10 billion in realized losses. There are estimates that the sum total unrealized capital losses in bitcoin right now - that's if every single person with an underwater bitcoin could sell their bitcoin at the current price - would be 200 billion dollars.
Now given that crypto really is "sort of" a zero sum game, for 200 billion in losses to occur, someone cashed out major bank at the top, selling bitcoin to the current losers. The question is - "who were they, what nationality, and did they claim the income". Reasonable scenario is that the second question is mostly non-US citizens (Chinese bitcoin miners) and the 3rd is "No" (including US citizens). So the US Government won't see much of the capital gains on the zero sum gain going up, but will have US citizens with hundreds of billions of dollars of carryover capital losses.
It's even worse than zero sum because mined bitcoin is nominally zero cost, yes, you pay for the equipment and the electricity, but you aren't really taking US dollars and purchasing bitcoin. I have no clue if there is anything in the tax code if say, you spent 2k to mine an 18k bitcoin, then sell it. What the hell is even the cost basis of the bitcoin you mined? Do you pretty much need to file the bitcoin mining as a small business?

Wow, there's actual IRS guidance. When you get the coin, the FMV of the coin is taxed as ordinary income, and that's your cost basis. And you can't deduct the cost of mining unless you form a business, in which case you can deduct the equipment and costs, but have to pay self-employment taxes.

Apparently there is a nation-wide bird flu epidemic, killing the flocks.
"A virulent strain of bird flu has resulted in the deaths of nearly 58 million chickens and turkeys since early 2022, according to the US Department of Agriculture."
"The economic toll has also been staggering: Most of the birds culled to stop the epidemic have been egg-laying hens, causing the price of eggs to skyrocket and availability to plummet."

I can say with confidence that you guys are not good grocery shoppers.
Agreed. They are probably buying lettuce at the store now instead of just growing it in the garden, with the rain growing conditions are perfect.

Bought some Lorna doone cookies. Cost 7 dollars. Frozen pizza is 9 bucks.
9 bucks and permanent damage to your taste buds. Pizza is goddamn flour/yeast/water, tomato sauce, spices, cheese, toppings - to reiterate PAMan's comment on being good grocery shoppers.

Sounds like a few of you need help stretching your food dollars. Or perhaps you live in a food desert.
I’m so old I remember my grandparents telling me stories about their backyard “victory garden” and root cellar where they stored items like potatoes and jars of canned food.
To hell with those BIG GROCERY MONOPOLIES and their high priced, heavily packaged and nutrition deficient food. Fight the power! Grow your own or join the neighborhood community garden to put food on the table.
To help you get started, here are step-by-step instructions for building a coop to raise chickens in your back yard.

Name an item, and I will tell you the best place in Chicagoland to buy that item.

Get a lot of the basics at Aldi, or Costco when I need a bunch of something. Both stores carry a fair amount of relatively healthy snack items for the kids.
I probably wouldn’t have a Costco membership if my company didn’t have some relationship with them where I get the executive membership for half price. I recently bought a new TV for the primary living space and the cash back alone almost paid for the membership for the year, plus I got the extra 3 year warranty and an upgraded backlit remote I wouldn’t have gotten had I purchased it anywhere else. And sometimes I just wanna go in there and slay a beef hot dog and drink for $1.50 while I look around. But it’s not my favorite place. I did get a same day grocery delivery from them the other day as I was in a pinch for time and their location is out of the way for me. I got a big container of Orgain, two huge bags of frozen wild blueberries and strawberries, a bunch of bananas (to make smoothies) and a couple other odds and ins delivered to my doorstep within 2 hours for $65 out the door.
I prefer to get meat from local farmers or the local old school butcher shop. I like to grow veggies in the summer months. Per Murph’s comment I’ve found lettuce doesn’t keep well, so I have to buy it from somewhere in the winter. Usually from the pizza place down the road that has an awesome salad bar and cheap beer.
-
I had a Costco membership but let it expire. I bought it mostly because I thought they had good deals on tires, but when I went to get tires they were pretty expensive. They have some really good deals and whatnot there, but you end up overspending in the end. But you’ll get a great deal on a 5 lb container of cinnamon.
-
Can get some nice wines for a good price.
-
Their alcohol prices are outstanding. They also have the most expensive milk prices in the city. Like, higher than buying a gallon of milk at the gas station high. And we go through a lot of milk.
I could be wrong, but I feel like their business model is to price some things really consistently low to get people in the door, then have sneaky high prices on a bunch of other staples that people will throw in the cart without even looking at the price, assuming that they will also be priced low. Then you go to check out and you’ve spent $465. But then you get that few hundred back at the end of the year from the 2% you got back from buying a ton of shit you didn’t need in the first place and get sucked back in again.

I would hope that NY was planning on using a recipe from their neighboring state.

Funny, but misses the point. We've been over that. It is not individuals that owe reparations. It is surviving corporate entities -- businesses and governments.
-
It is patently absurd that there are any surviving persons who are civilly liable for slavery. The statute of limitations has passed. Probably for Institutional Jim Crown too.
Black activists like to pointout two examples -- native American Indians and Japanese Americans -- who received reparations.
In both cases, there were paid by the US government. Not by private citizens, their estates, their heirs, or their descendants.
Payments were made to specific extant Indian tribes, or members of tribes, as compensation for treaty violations.
Payments were also made to specific Japanese Americans, or their estates, who were illegally interned during WW II.
There were not general reparations for all Native Americans or all Japanese Americans.

In yesterday's fishwrap news, if I can present it accurately ......
At the request of a 22 year old, 15 and 17 year old brothers break into the home of the 22 year olds ex-girlfriend and murder the 23 year old mother of the 22 year old's child.
In her plea agreement with the brothers, the newly elected county attorney said "our goal is to treat kids like kids" and cites research suggesting children's brains are not fully developed until the age of 25. The plea agreement will send the brothers to juvenile detention for 2 years, and then probation to the age of 21.
Meanwhile, the governor signs an executive order protecting the rights of kids to gender affirming care, presumably under the thinking that 16 year old girls are capable of making an informed decision to have their breasts removed and boys can have whatever they want done to be done. They must be of sound mind and, what's left of it, body.
At puberty the the kids, maybe as young as 12, are eligible for puberty blocking hormones.
And to address the skyrocketing carjacking going on, the AG wants to investigate Hyundai and Kia about why they make their vehicles so easy to steal. Ellison says "the cars might as well have a giant bumper sticker that says 'steal me' on them.
Fortunately, if the education system continues to produce kids who can't read the theft rate should decline. Unless, I suppose, the inability of those under 25 to make sound decisions is a primary driving factor.

If you've served your time, you should be able to vote. What's your position on Manafort and Roger Stone being able to vote, convicted of felonies but pardoned by Trump? They can vote but some drug dealer who didn't have Trump's favor can't after he finishes his sentence?
As for drivers licenses, this is the best exemple of the GOP putting their head in the sand on principle. You don't need a license to drive a car - all you need is a car and the keys. Licensing doesn't really give a *ton* of training - I got into a wreck shortly after getting my license and looking back on it, it was criminal that I passed the test (on the 2nd try). But it does at least have that bar - and more importantly licensing and registering and *insuring* has huge value. Unless you have a magic wand to get the large companies headed up by GOP donors to round up their illegals and deport them, licensing registering and insuring them reduces a lot of chaos.
Dovetails with things like "safe injection sites" for drugs. The drug addled are going to find those drugs. Sometimes you just need to admit the chaos exists and try to put a lid on it.

There is a major election coming up in 2024 and right-wingers have lost abortion as a tried and true "get 'em out to the polls" issue. They NEED a trans war to get their voters out. There are currently more than 300 bills pending in state legislatures that attack transgender health and well-being in one way or another.
https://translegislation.com/learn
I'm on the side of trans people, but I also recognize there are questions with regard to how the medical establishment should treat gender dysphoric children and teens, and as you'd expect the research on this topic is limited and unsettled. It's both a difficult issue and a fairly recent one. It hasn't been around long enough to generate a well-accepted body of careful research that follows transitioning kids all the way into adulthood. Some evidence hints that there may be some problems with current standards of care, but we don't know for sure.
This shouldn’t be a wedge issue. The goal should be for policymakers to work with the medical community, transchildren and their parents in a bipartisan way to figure out what’s best for everyone. I favor oversight and sensible regulation.

Burying the lede here. Now we can understand the love of the bicycle: you do not know the Rules of the Road!
Who Is Most at Risk of Dying in a Traffic Accident?
Though fatal traffic accidents can happen unexpectedly at any time or place, there are risk factors that affect a person’s vulnerability on the road.
Age
Teen drivers (between the ages of 16 and 19) are more likely than any other age group to be involved in a car accident, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC).
-
It appears car drivers know the Rules of the Road better than architects are who cyclists.
Leading Causes of Deadly Car Accidents
Unfortunately, human error and lack of responsible driving behavior accounts for the most fatalities on the road. These deaths could all be preventable. Fatal car accidents are most frequently caused by these leading factors:
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
Every day, 32 people in the United States die in drunk driving car crashes. That’s one person every 45 minutes.
Lack of Proper Seat Belt Use
Unrestrained vehicle occupants are more likely than restrained occupants to be fatally injured in a crash. In 2020, of those that were fatally injured in passenger vehicle crashes (aged 13 and older), only 44 percent of drivers and 41 percent of passengers were properly wearing their seatbelts.
Speeding
Speeding was a factor in 29 percent of fatal car accidents in 2020, and has been a factor in more than 25 percent of crash deaths over the past decade.
Distracted Driving
Distraction types vary and are difficult to quantify, but it is estimated that they accounted for more than 8 percent of all fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2020. Many were caused by cell phone use while driving.
Drowsy Driving
Driving while not fully awake and alert accounted for 1.6 percent of deadly traffic accidents in 2020.

Murphy and Alum, you both seem to be missing what I believe is Mn's point. I will spell it out for you at the risk that you were intentionally seeking to obscure the point:
If we can let kids make the decision about gender affirming care, that means they can also be tried for their decisions/actions that are felonious in nature. Can't have it both ways. What Mn and Custard may, note MAY, be missing is the flip side: If you can convict kids of felonies, then why not let them decide the gender affirming care stuff?
Or, maybe we can try and figure this out on a case-by-case basis instead of a one-size-fits-all basis.

They do not break down how many accidents are caused by avoiding cyclists who do not follow the Rules of the Road.

I'm not sure it's that simple, but the Dems here appear to think having it both ways is not to be questioned.
One instance involves another person becoming a victim and losing her life.
The other instance involves kids making themselves the victim. Some will do fine. How many won't ?
And the transgender argument for adults, either 18 or 21 and older, is an entirely different argument than the one for 12-16 year old kids when it involves surgical procedures.
Walz taught high school kids. What's he thinking ?

The John Stewart clips about suicides amongst children with gender dysphoria should be pounded down over and over. Dovetails exactly with DeSantis' reputation as a bully. For DeSantis, children with gender dysphoria getting bullied is a feature, not a bug.
Makes sense the mentally ill would be more likely to commit suicide !
Love how DeSantis triggers all u soy boys

Fairly certain Mn has blocked me, but this is the canonical GOP. The kids will make themselves the victim by taking treatment for gender dysphoria, instead of not getting treatment and having a high suicide rate instead.

You do not believe there was any other biological woman who was entitled to the award over the dude dressed like a lady? There has to be someone out there in this big old world, some woman out there more deserving. Pick some lady in Afghanistan who is trying to get an education despite being banned from so doing.

As I tried to hint and Tempo has tried to say - the award is not a zero sum game. They can give out as many as they want.
If some lady deserved the award, she got it. Had they chosen not to give the award to "some dude", that would not have opened a slot for some lady who didn't deserve the award.

In yesterday's fishwrap news, if I can present it accurately ......
At the request of a 22 year old, 15 and 17 year old brothers break into the home of the 22 year olds ex-girlfriend and murder the 23 year old mother of the 22 year old's child.
In her plea agreement with the brothers, the newly elected county attorney said "our goal is to treat kids like kids" and cites research suggesting children's brains are not fully developed until the age of 25. The plea agreement will send the brothers to juvenile detention for 2 years, and then probation to the age of 21.
Meanwhile, the governor signs an executive order protecting the rights of kids to gender affirming care, presumably under the thinking that 16 year old girls are capable of making an informed decision to have their breasts removed and boys can have whatever they want done to be done. They must be of sound mind and, what's left of it, body.
At puberty the the kids, maybe as young as 12, are eligible for puberty blocking hormones.
And to address the skyrocketing carjacking going on, the AG wants to investigate Hyundai and Kia about why they make their vehicles so easy to steal. Ellison says "the cars might as well have a giant bumper sticker that says 'steal me' on them.
Maryland House bill 1180 ....
If a kid under 25 commits armed car-jacking and murder in the first degree, the murder doesn't count.
"Proponents of the bill say that the human brain is not fully formed in the frontal lobes until age 25."

Again, you speak from ignorance. And again, a man who chooses to identify as a woman isn’t taking anything from women. Especially in this case. Why are you not able to understand that they can give this award to anyone they deem worthy (meaning more than one at a time)? This is the simplest concept.

I’m PAMan: I am the only one to have a divorced mother that struggled. I also am outraged that a man who identifies as a woman stole an award intended for women (except of course he/she didn’t). But it outrages me, anyway. Because in my head it’s true (even though in reality it’s not). I assume a lot of shit and speak as if it’s fact, because in my head it is (even though it isn’t).

I don't feel as dumb as 2008 when I saw "mortgages are going to adjust and these people won't be able to pay them" didn't result in me connecting the dots and shorting bank stocks. It's simple to understand "massive defaults bad, also drives down home prices at which point more defaults occur"
"Wow, the banks lent out a lot of money at super low interest rates and someone had to be buying all those 1% treasuries" - the dots are there but less easy to connect, the first glance is "welp, you locked in a bad rate, but hey only 10 years to maturity on those T-bills!" but the reality is that marked to market, the banks have zero flexibility because they can't sell the assets, they have to hold to maturity or they can't meet deposits.
And how can the banks attract any deposits now? If the 2 year treasury is yielding 4%, then to compete, the banks need to offer the same amount, but they have huge amounts of 1-3% yielding debt in their portfolio. If they don't offer 3-4% on CD's, people will pull their money even if they aren't afraid of bank liquidity, just to find more attractive yields. It was such an obvious problem, but think the ship has sailed on shorting the banks.
I just saw a CNN clip of some startup founder who "got their money out of SVB". But then what the hell do you do with it? Put it into another bank? That has the same exact issues with their balance sheet but is just has more liquidity based on sheer size? Take delivery of dollar bills and put it in your mattress? Crypto? (no - not crypto, please)
Does feel like interest rates and yields have to drop now - if the banks start to wobble, the place to put your money is in treasuries. The risk is if rates go further up, you are stuck HTM just like the banks so you aren't liquid, but it feels like rates have to come down. Do you buy straight treasuries (not as simple) or a bond fund?

I haven’t said a god damned thing about athletics. I’m talking about a transgender person who won an award of which 11 were handed out (so probably not a specific number i.e. an award that was “stolen” from a woman, which it was not).
You are either an advocate for gay/trans people or you are not. You seem pretty inconsistent. Surprise, surprise.
On the athletic field is the one place I might make an exception. I’m not sure what the right thing to do about men competing as women is. I’m pretty sure it’s an overblown “problem,” though. And I’m pretty sure no one is doing it just to gain an athletic advantage. I’d say maybe make trans athletes their own award or whatever. I’m not sure what to do about it, and it’s not my job to figure it out. I’m not going to hate on someone for identifying with the gender that makes them feel comfortable, though.

I know you’re really obtuse, but again, I wasn’t talking about sports. Girls/women should not have to compete against biological men. I don’t know the complete answer to that puzzle, but I am mostly in agreement there. I also don’t think it’s nearly as big of a problem as it’s made out to be.
And again, no biological woman was denied this award because it went to a transgender. Which, legally is a woman. I think you can stop pretending you’re an advocate of gay/trans people now.

The difference is I use your own words against you. You just go for the low blow. “We know why you’re anti-woman!” Which, my posting history here is well documented. I’ve been mocked here multiple times for being what many felt was over the top pro-woman.”
The fact that you claim to be an ally for gay people, but consider equal recognition for transgender woman “anti-woman” shows you are not an ally of gay people. Or maybe you are, as long as it’s on your terms…
-
The claim that I’m anti-woman is completely off base. And my posting history supports that. But you, being the sewer dweller you are, saw an opportunity for a low personal jab and couldn’t resist.

I post stuff like this to Facebook, because, you know, I’m “anti-woman.”

Pro-trans is pro-trans, which means gender affirming surgery for kids.

Again, almost no one believes that should be the case. But let’s act as if 1% of political activists represent mainstream thought or governance.

A woman who is an advocate for no biological males in women's sports does not have to be polite to someone who is making her feel uncomfortable.

Other than people in the position to make those decisions tho. 9 Democrats out of the 102 in the Md House co-authored the bill, and the Hennepin Cty Minnesota AG and the attorneys who agreed with her hold a similar position.

I'm sure the child of the 23 year old woman who was murdered point-blank in Minnesota by an impressionable kid, who faces juvenile detention to the age of 21, will be happy to know the law might not pass in Md.
All that's needed is an AG who thinks that brains may not be fully developed until the age of 25 if the legislature won't do it.
And it's probably just a coincidence that 2 states a 1000 miles apart have people thinking this way at the same time.
-
Let's see. There's a teen suicide epidemic going on. Granted, it's a complex problem that needs more than bumper sticker legislative solutions on either extreme. That being said, I don't think that any form of suppression belongs in the tool kit. It doesn't have a very good track record. Beefing up the counseling services is a good place to start.

New facility, The Loft in Brookfield, provides a safe space for teens with mental health struggles
"the Brookfield facility will offer mental health assessments, classes, and programs like yoga and meditation to any 14- to 18-year-old who wants or needs them."
'the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that about 44 percent of teens they surveyed reported extreme feelings of fear and hopelessness."
"Mental Health America found almost 60 percent of kids with major depression receive no mental health services at all"
https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/the-loft-in-brookfield-teens-mental-health-struggles/
Better to get kids into something like this now, instead of locking them up later on.

Wellesley College proudly proclaims itself as a place for “women who will make a difference in the world.” It boasts a long line of celebrated alumni, including Hillary Clinton, Madeleine Albright and Nora Ephron.
On Tuesday, its students will vote on a referendum that has divided the campus and goes straight to the issue of Wellesley’s identity as a women’s college.

Talk to your governor about why they've decided to fund UIUC via International student admissions. Entirely possible the former tenant was an Indian kid from the burbs (or a white kid from the burbs who likes chicken tikka masala) but the international % is nonetheless way up from back in the day.

Laughable. Maybe the Purported Progressive Governor can unwind all of his offshore tax dodge mechanisms and pay his "fair share" first.
Oh, and I must have missed the part where the Dems unwound Trump and the GOP's SALT limits when they did control both houses and the presidency.

"McCarthy, however, has stopped short of endorsing the idea publicly and repeatedly said they won’t use impeachment for political purposes, though he has said Mayorkas ought to resign.
“I think I told you long before I even got this job, he hasn’t been doing his job,” McCarthy recently told CNN. “I mean, who in America believes the border is secure? Even when he says that, you can look in his face, that he’s not being honest.”
While Jordan and GOP leadership have a private understanding that the impeachment of Mayorkas is inevitable, as CNN has previously reported, McCarthy has told members he wants more time for committees to hold hearings on the subject before they move on impeachment articles."
https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/14/politics/alejandro-mayorkas-impeachment-lobbying-republicans/index.html
McCarthy is booted out and 26 Federal regulations get waived and a section of the wall is now good to go. 🤷

The funds in question were appropriated during the Trump years and were apparently required to be dispersed, or whatever, by the end of the fiscal year which was Sept 30.
If I look at the calendar we are in October.
Biden says he requested Congress to redirect the funds but Schumer and Pelosi didn't, or couldn't, do it. The Republicans had no interest when the House majority changed.
What's hilarious is Mayorkas saying there's an urgent need when all he had to say was that they were required to use the funds by the end of the fiscal year, which was last month.

Liberals regarding the “racist” wall Trump could’ve already built… 🥴
-
Actually, you can thank Trump and the U.S. Congress for this, not so much Biden. The money for this 21-mile segment of the wall was allocated in 2019. Biden tried to reappropriate or redirect the funds for another purpose, but Congress said no. He’s now following through with the project. I believe it has to be completed by the end of 2023.
Biden could have possibly tied this up in red tape so the money would not have to be spent. But I think he saw the political implications and decided it wasn't worth it. Maybe he can build it with tissue paper.

He could have sought re appropriation when they controlled both houses of Congress. They could have also repealed the Trump Tax on Blue States, but they were also too busy to do that. San Fran Nan must have been more focused on her husband's investment portfolio during that time.

It was as if I had a bad sinus infection where things had already set up shop in my throat and chest. The thing is that I had sinus surgery 3 weeks ago so my sinuses were ok, everything just drained into my chest. It was more annoying and tiring more than anything. I kept working, part-time at least, through it. A client today was surprised I had it last week as I was working on her stuff. She has had it 5x and said the last one knocked her out for a week. So maybe the boosters worked, considering all the morbidities I have (I do not think they are "comorbidities" at this point, just morbidities). If I had not taken the test, I probably would have gone to the game Friday night for the guys weekend and just tried to kill whatever it is I had with tequila and Jack like in the pre-COVID Era (damn you, Chinese Commie Bastards).
The other patient is doing fine. More aggravated than anything and itching to get to Costco.

There was a story on this today. The chicks suing made shit up and the judge tossed the case, because, well, the other chicks voted the person in the sorority....
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-trans-woman-joined-a-sorority-then-her-new-sisters-turned-on-her/ar-AA1icA06
“ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS,” it began.
The first thing they noticed were the pronouns — “she,” “her” — used by Judge Alan B. Johnson, an 84-year-old man who had been appointed during the Reagan administration.
The judge complained of having to wade through a lengthy “meandering” complaint in which the suing sorority sisters only “devote four-and-a-half pages to their actual claims.” He described some of their arguments as “plainly inaccurate.” He warned them that if they appealed or refiled the lawsuit they “should not copy and paste their complaint,” because of its weak arguments.
“With its inquiry beginning and ending there, the court will not define ‘woman’ today,” the judge concluded.
***
“The fact that this happened in a federal court in freaking Wyoming of all places. I can’t believe it!” she said. The national headquarters of Kappa Kappa Gamma sent a statement to The Washington Post applauding the judge’s “thoughtful and decisive ruling” upholding “a private organization’s right to choose their members.”

That should go in the what is wrong with the left thread. They are not as insanely wrong as the right, but they let themselves be distracted by this utter foolishness.
Then the other stuff the right says about them -- like teaching CRT in grade school -- sticks.
Meanwhile, the left should be focusing on things that actually matter, like improving healthcare. public transportation, and education. Continuing to reform law enforcement and criminal justice. Fighting back against voter suppression, xenophobia, originalism ...

Make it all make sense while there's a RICO trial going on down the street. ;D
The Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections certified most of the local elections from Nov. 7 today after a complete recount of all ballots.
https://roughdraftatlanta.com/2023/11/14/fulton-ballot-recount-conducted-ahead-of-election-certification/
"Some absentee advanced voting ballots were not initially counted, Fulton County’s elections superintendent told the Board of Registration and Elections during its meeting on Nov. 14."
"The number of missed ballots was small, she said."
Mountain Park elections, with the most votes cast in Mountain Park elections being 468 for City Council, still had not been certified as of press time.

VALDOSTA — Election officials are blaming a vote-counting discrepancy on state-mandated software that failed to completely load votes from Precinct 10, which votes at the Lowndes County Civic Center.
"Officials reported 4,492 ballots had been cast -- but said they believed that number was wrong. The three candidates for Valdosta mayor totaled 4,905 votes while the at-large city council seat's four candidates totaled 4,713.
About 8:45 p.m., officials updated the turnout numbers to show 5,450 ballots had been cast.
After officials re-uploaded the Precinct 10 ballots, the total of ballots cast was recorded as 5,758."

This has been a few years. We had one of the boy's girl friends over for a BBQ. We roasted a whole chicken. She said, "Oh, is this where chicken pieces come from?"
The young lady is a college grad and an office manager. She was also surprised by our garden. For example, didn't know onions and garlic grew in the dirt.

Was dating. That has been quite a few years. She is married and has kids now. Still hot though.
Far from a moron, she is highly educated and from a fairly upscale family. She always ate restaurant food or had meals prepared for her. She calls a frozen pizza baked in one of those ovens "home made."
She was simply ignorant about where food comes from. Chicken comes already cut up, breaded, and fried.

Seems like it fits in here quite nicely. Pretty remarkable how our own intelligence agencies have been weaponized against our own people for generations. It’s almost certainly happening now, even outside the scope of the normal NSA spying in the name of the Patriot Act BS. People who try to shine a light on this stuff…well you know what happens to them. Just doesn’t get talked about.
And people wonder why I don’t trust the goddamned news. If you didn’t see it yourself or implicitly trust someone who did, it might as well be political fan fiction.

Holding institutions for their past transgressions is an interesting topic.
Do we blame the current FBI for the excesses of the Hoover era?
Are modern Calvinist protestants responsible for the Salem Witch Trials?
Is the current Roman Catholic Church responsible for Inquisitions and crusades.
Does the United States government owe reparations to the descendants of slaves and Jim Crow victims. How about extant corporations that profited from slavery?
Is the United States responsible for the harm the CIA et al caused in central and south america?

I'll stick to asking if the current Roman Catholic Church is responsible for covering up pedophilia amongst it's priests.
The US Government has a generalized responsibility to give more opportunity to people who have less opportunity than others because the playing field is not level. It isn't a coincidence that the descendants of slaves (and African Americans who have arrived post slavery) happen to be on the less level portion of that playing field, but even if it were, it's still the government's responsibility in a country whose mantra is that All Men Are Created Equal.

Having a bleeding heart and wanting to help people is good.
Putting shitty symbolic half baked policies into law that favor criminals at the expense of the law abiding is bad. Same goes for some of the bad legislature around the environment and pollution and other regulations.

Racist white people recorded racist songs a long time ago so it’s ok that modern black music glorifies violence, misogyny, drug abuse, and other socially reckless norms. Cool.
Remember this conversation happening years ago at OGHQ and Tempo said these gangsta rappers were just reflecting the culture they grew up in and witnessed. And I suppose they were/are, in the exact same way the hillbillies that wrote all these other songs were reflecting their upbringing.
In this classic case of whataboutism, we once again apply selective accountability with a healthy dose of the soft bigotry of low expectations.

The notion that bundling grievances is some uniquely right wing behavior is absolutely preposterous. The Declaration of Independence is a bundle of grievances. Grievance bundling is basically the foundation of modern political discourse. The only way you could think that this isn’t a pervasive behavior is if you insulate yourself only in one side of the discourse, which is what most people do.

Police violence and murders by illegal aliens actually have a lot in common. Both are fairly rare and both receive disproportionate coverage.
The civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd was in response to 12 major highly publicized incidents over 7 years from 2014 - 2020. From 2017 - 2020, the police shot and killed almost 4000 total, roughly 1000 per year.
Illegal immigrants don't keep killing innocent Americans. The numbers are an average of 23 per year from 2017 - 2023. You are far more likely to be shot and killed by a cop.

Here's a good one.
A local pol, City Councilwoman running for County Supervisor hatched an amusing plan. Had a bunch of people write letters to the Editor of the Press Democrat in support of her.
Then she sent out a snail mail flyer with quotes from all those letters. The top heading of the flyer had the Press Democrat logo. Then a series of quotes - with no attribution to the letter writer. Reads as if it's a bunch of pulls from an endorsement by the paper.
But the Press Democrat endorsed one of her opponents.
I know this person IRL - so I've gotten the various asks for donations - "I'm in the fight of my life for the future of Northern California!" Wut? She's running in a jungle primary where the top 2 vote getters are certain to be Democrats, who will vote pretty much identically and none of whom have a particularly distinctive policy agenda. For the most part, nobody will have a differential in their life based on who wins - the only notable difference would be how well that person does their job in PR when there is a natural disaster.
Goes to show, as this forum well knows, it's all about the most non-partisan issue of them all - the Benjamins.

Your willfully ignorant to things that don’t fit your narrative. A lot of police shootings are justifiable/defense. What percentage murders by illegals or justifiable ?

Now you doofuses want to go back to 1914. Yeah, that will work out well allowing the Soviets, Chinese Commies, and Iranians to run amuck.
Putin is basically Hitler and we need to be willing to start WWIII in order to keep him from taking the part of a country that mostly wishes they were still part of Russia!
The Soviet empire we toppled has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world several times over, and you want us to fuck around and find out apparently…

That area has been part of Ukraine as long as there has been a Ukraine. It is as if the Hispanics in Texas wanted to have a chunk of Texas be part Mexico. At least Mexico would have a historical claim to the land, as opposed to Stalin moving Russians into the satellite states to salt the population.
Putin was a scumbag long before Trump was even involved in politics. But go ahead, defend him. Your kids will be over there fighting them when they are old enough the way things are going with the Appeasement Party.

The hispanics in Texas favor building a wall. It’s just not a similar situation at all.
But I get what you’re saying.
What it boils down to is we want Ukraine in our orbit. We don’t give a fuck about their sovereignty or democracy any more than we did about Iraq or Afghanistan or Vietnam or Korea or anywhere else we’ve gone into the last 70+ years. They have stuff we want.
Putin also wants it, so here we are.
And thanks to the progressives, yes my daughters probably will be the ones fighting some pointless war on the other side of the planet so the rich can get richer as they always do when war breaks out.
There was never a sincere effort to broker peace. Seems to me that if Ukraine ceded the portions (that perhaps were seeded by Soviets) in exchange for a hardcore agreement moving forward, this could have been avoided. Instead we forced Putin’s hand, and this apparently endless quagmire has ensured.
Alum talked about Afghanistan as a hopeless effort for an installed government…what makes anyone think the former actor/reality star de facto dictator Zelenskyy is going to be any different? I am old enough to remember when Democrats laughed about Trump being a former reality TV star. 🤷🏻♂️
All the propaganda hoopla about the handsome actor in his fake battle fatigues has been nice, but Ukraine is basically a tinpot dictatorship at this point with no infrastructure to support any sustainable democracy. It’s just a proxy power struggle over a valuable property.

Naïve and dangerous thinking. Right out of the America First playbook from the 30s.
If Custard had been in charge, China would have abosorbed Tawain. North Korea would have invaded S. Korea and Putin would have succeeded in puting the band back together again. The world would be a much more dangerous and chaotic place where our adversaries, including Iran, are emboldened.
Appeasement doesn’t work with brutal authoritarians like Putin. There’s a reason Sweden and Finland are joining NATO. Their leaders understand Putin’s territorial ambitions in Eastern Europe.

The Russian Revolution sympathizers back then, in particular, were in denial about Stalin’s totalitarian police state and suddenly got a dose of reality when the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact with Germany in 1939, which included a secret provision for partitioning the countries that lay between them. Germany claimed Western Poland and part of Lithuania. The Soviet Union was going to occupy Eastern Poland, the Baltic States and part of Finland.

The Democrats see it as organic law and order; the retribution for crimes he has committed. Trump supporters see it as weaponizing the legal system. I think it’s pretty clear that both are happening. I expect Ds and Rs to disagree with me. This is how propaganda works: you have two sides getting two sides of the story and both believing they’re right.

Custard likes to think they changed the SOL on the sexual assault law just for Trump. 3,000 of those cases have been filed under that extended SOL. (Per the Failing NY Times.) Incredibly, not all of them are against Trump.
It is also not as if Trump has been the only one charged under that NY financial fraud statute. There has been 70 cases brought under that statute. (It does not appear the Pharma Bro was one of them.)
-
OK. I was reading about the Judge extending the SoL for evidence purposes in the civil bank fraud case. I thought that was questionable, but have not wrapped my head around it.
Wasn't thinking about the sexual assault case.
"The Adult Survivors Act, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2022, lifted the state’s statute of limitations for one year to allow adults to file civil lawsuits for sexual misconduct no matter when it occurred.
...
Before 2019, an accuser in New York had to file a civil suit within three years of sexual misconduct. That year, the state expanded its statute of limitation for some sex crimes to 20 years, but it did not allow for legal action in cases where the statute of limitations had already expired."

Agree with Alum here. Based on the whole comment my takeaway was that she was saying it was unique for Simpson, as a black guy, to win an acquittal despite 2 white people being killed. Fair point to raise, I guess, but it ignores the "class" issues that were present as well.
The person who Judge Judy cited is obviously being obtuse.

I missed the part where she said black people felt connected to OJ because white people were killed.
I do think black people were far more likely to believe OJ was framed; especially since the victims were white.
At the time, anyone who was paying attention knew the police were not above framing black (and brown) suspects. The belief was they were guilty of something.
Also, to this day, murders of whites remain a higher priority, especially prominent whites.
I am pretty sure that is what the lady is getting at. Not what the anti woke poster is trying to imply.
Woke traditionally means to be aware of racial prejudice and implicit racism, and to take appropriate action. The word has been to cover other forms of social injustice like sexism, homophobia, transphobia...

What a world. Black people identify with OJ because he killed white people, and Trump because he's being persecuted.

Never was. Still not. Just a fan of defending women’s sports from biological men.
Who the hell was not a fan of Amanda Beard? Natalie Coughlin? There's a reason Claire Curzan gets a whole lot of NIL money, and it's not just her gold medals.
Are you geh?

"UCLA medical school’s psychiatry department hosted a talk earlier this month that glorified self-immolation as a form of "revolutionary suicide," raising concerns from prominent doctors and deepening a public relations crisis that has embroiled the elite medical school."
"At UCLA, Izar and Moustafa, who are practicing psychiatrists, argued that self-immolation is a reasonable response to geopolitical events and that the taboo against it serves "the interests of power." By "perpetuating the stigma of self-immolation," they said, psychiatrists "discredit" resistance to "power structures" like "colonization," "homophobia," and "white supremacy," framing legitimate acts of protest as signs of psychiatric dysfunction."

This is probably not the advice most people should hear from a practicing psychiatrist.

True. But looking on the bright side, as I am Mr. Positive, as long as no one else was hurt it's better than having him run amuck on the streets and shooting up a school or workplace.

You're suggestng that the 2 "practicing" psychiatrist's should have included that idea in their "talk" ?

Democrat conspiracy to rig the election by getting the Trump supporters to self-immolate

No, I'm suggesting that if you are wacked out enough to set yourself on fire, you are wacked out enough to shoot up a school or workplace. I'll take the idiots setting themselves in fire over that.

Dunno about the 1st part and he's not around to ask. But I'm guessing he wanted to go where there would be tv cameras to film his last act.
He should have gone to Columbia instead of the protest area in front of the Trump trial. Maybe some of the Hamas at Columbia could have joined him.
I'm not sure that the school or workplace shooters, who shoot other people, would fit the profile of a person who just burns his/her ass to death.

"The problem: Richards Academy failed to produce a single student who tested proficient in reading or math on the SAT, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

Or maybe they are in that tier? Weird way to rank. I suppose when there are that many schools it makes sense on some level.

I don't really find that very difficult to believe, for a few reasons
-
Don't know. A lot of people I know like to move in to places with good school districts. Weird, I know. I was made fun of by a certain dipshit on here for living where I live.
-
Lol.
-
Haha, lol. It's true.
-
What did this dipshit say specifically? I don’t recall what (he) said (specifically).

Something about how I live in a town that is a high percentage of white people, therefore I'm racist. Or something like that.

Are you positive that wasn’t an extrapolation?

Chicago's selective schools, you know the ones that dipshit progressives like Spark and you want to destroy, are very good.
-
Are you positive that wasn’t an extrapolation?
No, it is accurate. He nailed you on this one.

Walter Payton Academy ranked #5 in the country. That’s the U.S. of A. For those following along at home.
-
No, it is accurate. He nailed you on this one.
Do you have the quote?
-
I might have said he was in a sheltered community. Pretty sure I never said he was “racist.”
-
Or more accurately a community lacking diversity.
-
Chicago's selective schools, you know the ones that dipshit progressives like Spark and you want to destroy, are very good.
yes its amazing you take all the top students from all around the city and put them in a few schools, that surprisingly do well, lol
-
You alluded to the fact that I live in a community that was a very high percentage of white people that I was a racist. You definitely did that.
-
Yes he did. And then months/years later in arguments, his defense is, “well I don’t remember, show me the exact quote.” Knowing damn well we have no idea where the fuck it is right now and making us look it up to prove him wrong. Like gtfo of here with that bullshit. Lol

Oh, so NOW (exact quotes) aren’t important. We can just go by recollection now…love the double standards around this place.
I guess that means I did join the Marines after 9/11…

Doesn't matter. What do you think the percentage is of people in my town that have cognitive disabilities? Any guesses?

Well if you say so, it’s obviously true. You’d never mislead anyone. Except to maybe announce your death.

I've never seen any indication that Jobu is a racist.
-
I “definitely probably likely” did.

It is true. And I'm glad you're still butthurt about that. I guess that makes me a fucking retard. Right?

Because I'm not.
-
I've never seen any indication that Jobu is a racist.
And it’s likely no one ever said he was. Did I mention that he lived in a very white town? Yes. But we were talking about the diversity of our surroundings. That much I remember. There’s almost zero chance I called him racist.

Was.

Forget it. I'm not going to go back and look for it. It's not that important to me. You gave me shit about where I live, and the demographics. And laid it on thick that since I live where I live that I am racist. That definitely happened.
It's fine, honestly. I don't care. Think whatever you want. If you want to think that, do it. I can't stop you.
-

Haha, it's not. Unless he was dishonorably discharged.
I was medically discharged about a year early for a neck injury sustained in a car accident. I did about 5 years.
-
I wonder if it’s got anything to do with a heavy population of hard-right, right-leaning overly self-assured white men who aren’t particularly welcoming to the opinions of minority populations?

I didn't actually know it was 'militaristic groupthink'. I thought it was just how the Marines worked. That you're 'always' a Marine.
I obviously recognize that your politics aren't super typical of a military guy.
-
Nice, where’d you’d find that?
I searched your name and the term "divers"....it took me to the thread.
-
Well, anyway. Not sure of the percentage of us from Washington that have developmental or cognitive disabilities. Guessing average maybe?
Don't care to look up the demographics. Maybe Tempo can do it.
-
Was in the Let's talk about something we all can agree on...thread

That's not quite implying Jobu is a racist, but I at least see where it comes from.
-

Every Marine (or any branch for that matter) that I've ever known is like that. Regardless of politics. Again, unless there was a discharge issue.

I push back on the “always a Marine”
mantra because I’ve often found it’s just people patting themselves on the back extra hard. I once had a Marine Corps vet proudly tell me “killed more n……ers in Vietnam than Vietcongs,” because they “give away your position, and ain’t no one gonna give away my position.” I can assure you he considered himself “a Marine for life.” No thanks.
-
That's not quite implying Jobu is a racist, but I at least see where it comes from.
There were definite undertones. In multiple threads. He held it against me that I live in a downstate small town that is predominately white.
Is what it is. He can deny it, but it's true. I'm not going back to look it up.
-

Not that you will see this, but it is clear from the context of what was being discussed what Tempo was getting at.
Jobu turned it around in him by posting the demographics of Itasca.

One bad apple spoils The Marines, but...ahhh I could go on and on about how you have fought against that line of reasoning when it is something you support.
-
Yes, we owe our military members a great deal of gratitude. Also, there are a lot of truly shitty people serving in the military.
-
It's fine. Think whatever you like. I live in Washington, IL. 15 minutes from a very bad neighborhood on the south end of Peoria. Does that give me any street cred, or nah?

'Tempo is a drunk, shitty dad' was like fully accepted and repeated here constantly.
As was 'JudgeJudy beats/abuses his daughter'.
That kind of shit is really fucked up.
-
Now who's the racist
I’m racist because id rather live and raise my kid in a safe town with good schools than Englewood? FTR, I love and appreciate the south side, I just wouldn’t want to live in most of it. I’d maybe do Kenwood, Hyde Park, or Beverly. But no Mt Greenwood, too police officery for me.

The real question is did Caleb Williams really fail Wayne Whitlock?

Mike North is PAMan’s guy. I don’t listen to Parkins anymore.
I never listened to him.
-
Maybe…I’ll give The Score another listen come football season. Or maybe one or two days after the draft even. I’ve been listening to music instead.
What are you listening to
-
Duh! I get all my takes from Bernstein and Parkins!
-
Mike North is PAMan’s guy. I don’t listen to Parkins’ anymore.
I thought Dan Macneil was PA's guy. Though they're pretty much the same person.
I've looked at a couple of North's tweets lately. Woof.
And yeah, good on not listening to Parkins.

What are you listening to
Radio. I’m a dinosaur that way. WXRT and Q101 (alternative) mostly.
-
I mostly listen to a podcast that I really like. Small town murder. By a couple of comedians.
You guys should give it a listen. It's great for long road trips. Or just sitting around even.

I don't even know what gets played on the radio anymore

I can exclusively do podcasts on long drives. If I have a means to distract myself and miss it, I will take that opportunity.
I also suspect the podcasts I like, you guys wouldn't that much. Could be wrong.

Favorite “newer” artists are Black Pumas, Nathaniel Rateliff, Noah Kahan. Really like a new song called Burial Ground by The Decemberists.

You posted his thoughts once. That’s the rule. “Tempo is a Greenie guy.”

Haven't heard the new song but I typically like Decemberists. Or at least I did in the Picaresque/Crane Wife era which is unfortunately 18-19 years ago now

Small Town Murder is basically where these guys select a small town where a terrible, or crazy murder occurred. They go through the demographics of the town, then describe what happened. Often, they make fun of a shitty police force, or the actual murderer him (or her) self. They never make fun of the victim or their family.
They also do "Crime in Sports", which is obvious, and also "Your Stupid Opinions," where they make fun of reviews.
They're funny dudes.

That actually sounds good. I’m intrigued by true crime stuff. Don’t think I’d go so far as to listen to it, but it intrigues me. I know that stuff is popular. I know there are a lot of great podcasts out there now.

It's true crime, with comedy mixed in. Give it a shot. They have full length episodes which can be up to 3 hours, or express episodes which are an hour.
-
That's actually the best part. And when that other dude said "Caleb Williams failed Wayne Whitlock." Man, that's gold.
Adam Hoge is lucky I don’t have a podcast.

I got really into Whose Line for awhile, so was looking for something to scratch that itch and found some improv comedy stuff that I enjoyed. That's mostly what I've been into lately.

Adam Hoge is lucky I don’t have a podcast.
If you make one, 'Caleb Williams failed Wayne Whitlock' is a great title for it.
Maybe he'll come on as a guest even.

I would love for Tempo to question Caleb about going to that golf tournament. I would definitely listen to that.
-

I understand. I don't know how I would have posted his thoughts though, unless I had seen them posted elsewhere.
I do listen to Dumpy Dan McNeil's podcast.
-
I’d like to do a show like Pat Mayo and just talk PGA, NFL, NCAA Tournament and PGA, NFL DFS.

That's an original concept that no one else is doing so maybe it has a chance

I have been encouraging you over text to do a public response.
And while we are at it, we talked about going to an Illini football game. Will you pick a game? Maybe you can convince Spark to join us since my invitation to him via PM was not seen since he has me on block.

I would ask him about that! Why were you gallivanting around the country when the Bears were waiting on your medicals?!

This is a hypothetical question and I can already feel his eyes start to roll at it

Yeah that one website you linked to here where they all loved the old Score and now think it is too Woke.
But he was on McNeil's pod once, now that I think about it

I’d just like the future franchise quarterback of the Chicago Bears to explain why he wasn’t prioritizing the business of the Chicago Bears during one of the most important months of his life. Seems like a reasonable question to me.

Don't pick Dad's Day or MSU (those are spoken for, but in November anyway).
-

You don’t think preparing for the draft should be his #1 priority the month before the draft?
-
I think this is exactly the kind of discourse that will be hilarious on your podcast
-
Also no I don’t care that he went to the golf tournament. The Bears don’t seem to either
-
I realize it’s not the 1950s anymore, but I’d want to see my franchise quarterback show a high sense of urgency working with his new franchise, especially when he’s supposed to be “making an impression.”
-
I want to see him play well and help the team win. If he doesn't, I'll bitch about that. Not whether he's at a golf tournament and not getting a physical that will most likely show that he's perfectly healthy.
-
All indications are that he’s made a very good impression on the Bears
-
Also no I don’t care that he went to the golf tournament. The Bears don’t seem to either
I also don’t care that he went to the golf tournament. As a big PGA fan, I found that likable about him that he apparently likes golf. What I didn’t like is his cavalier attitude about things that the Chicago Bears deem quite important. I can promise you, Ryan Poles wanted his medicals sooner.
-
You can promise whatever you’d like, obviously. The Bears didn’t seem to mind though.
-
All indications are that he’s made a very good impression on the Bears
Yes, but they wasn’t always a given. Lots of scouts and GMs were miffed that Caleb didn’t do things the standard way. And yes, I get that those guys are crusty. I can assure you Poles wasn’t happy either, but it was obviously not enough to prevent interest in Caleb. Again, you guys confuse some mild criticism with condemnation.
-
Not worth caring about. If he sucks, I'm not going to come back to whether Poles was pissed about his medicals.
-
You can promise whatever you’d like, obviously. The Bears didn’t seem to mind though.
Once again, it’s not a zero sum game. “Caleb didn’t give us his medicals as soon as we wanted! NEXT!”

You can assure me of whatever you’d like as long as we agree that you actually are just making it up and you have no way of knowing if any of that is true.
For all we know Caleb told Poles he was going and Poles told him shotgun a beer for me.
-

You’re still talking about it pretty pointedly a month later
-

What if he sucks because of a cavalier attitude? Might that have been a window to a potential problem?
-

I didn’t bring it up first, I don’t believe.
-
What if he sucks because of a cavalier attitude? Might that have been a window to a potential problem?
There isn’t really any indication of a “cavalier attitude”, whatever that means. But it’s clear there’s a prt of you that hopes he sucks so you can come dunk on everyone for laughing at the golf tournament thing
-
I didn’t bring it up first, I don’t believe.
You are definitely the only one who is serious and not laughing about it
-
Or maybe not cavalier, I don’t think that applies to Caleb; but a “I know what I’m doing and I’m doing it my way”
attitude? What if that contributes to any failure he might see?
-
If that happens we’ll almost assuredly never know about it unless he ends up in jail or something. Which seems unlikely.
Pretty much every report about Caleb Williams for years is that he’s been singlemindedly set on being a great NFL player since like Middle School
-
You are definitely the only one who is serious and not laughing about it
People here took a stance opposite me. Throw it on the very large pile.
-
Let’s put it this way: there are very very few situations where Caleb Williams sucks and I think that golf tournament has even the slightest bit of relevance to it
-
I know you’ll hate this but it’s extremely similar to the dumb “why isn’t Justin Fields watching tape and studying the playbook all the time” meme
-

I don’t question his work ethic or desire. I question his ability to conform and lead a franchise. Even Tom Brady conformed at the end of the day. If Caleb wants to be some Maverick after a couple Super Bowl wins I’d have less of a problem with it.
For the milliontieth time, I think Caleb is a great prospect and will likely be very very good. It doesn’t mean I’m completely worry free.
-
I know you’ll hate this but it’s extremely similar to the dumb “why isn’t Justin Fields watching tape and studying the playbook all the time” meme
I disagree. The Bears weren’t waiting on vital information from Justin as he attended Bulls games.
-

You are totally missing the point.
-
I disagree. The Bears weren’t waiting on vital information from Justin as he attended Bulls games.
We have no idea what the Bears thought of it. We know publicly they didn’t seem to mind at all. I think it’s fair to guess that they had discussions about it and had more information than we do about the situation.
-
You are totally missing the point.
I followed your lead
-
I had zero problem with Caleb attending a golf tournament. I was a little bothered by it because the franchise he’s in line to lead was waiting on vital information from him at the time. It just sends a poor message IMO. It’s not end of the world shit.
-
What if he sucks because of a cavalier attitude? Might that have been a window to a potential problem?
Nope. I would be shocked if he sucks because of his attitude.
-
I had zero problem with Caleb attending a golf tournament. I was a little bothered by it because the franchise he’s in line to lead was waiting on vital information from him at the time. It just sends a poor message IMO. It’s not end of the world shit.
But for all we know he had communicated to them exactly when he would do his medical stuff. There is no indication this bothered anyone in the Bears organization, so why would it bother me?
-

So you really think Ryan Poles wasn’t at least a little miffed that Caleb made him wait for the medicals? That would be totally naive. If Poles’ attitude was “hey bro, whenever…” then that would bother me about Poles. Fire Poles (said no one)!
-
I can assure you, Poles wanted them at the combine. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t “willing” to wait. He obviously was.
-

I have no clue. There was certainly no indication that Poles minded.
I think it’s extremely likely Poles knew exactly when the medical stuff would happen, don’t you? They seem to have been in near constant communication with Caleb
-
I can assure you, Poles wanted them at the combine. It doesn’t mean he wasn’t “willing” to wait. He obviously was.
You keep saying stuff like “I promise,” and “I assure you,” but the truth is you have no idea how Poles felt about any of it
-
A GM is going to want that information as soon as he can get it, and they always got it at the combine, until this year.
-
So you really think Ryan Poles wasn’t at least a little miffed that Caleb made him wait for the medicals? That would be totally naive. If Poles’ attitude was “hey bro, whenever…” then that would bother me about Poles. Fire Poles (said no one)!
I have no idea. Neither do you, though.
I think if Caleb said “hey I’m not doing medical for anyone at the combine but I got you in a few weeks when I come for my visit” then chances are good that Poles wasn’t too worried about it.
-
No leader of a serious organization is going to say “whenever is great by me!” When waiting on extremely vital information. Sorry. Again, it wasn’t enough to get Poles to go to plan B. No one said or implied that.
-
None of this is a big deal. That's why Hoge made fun of you.
-
No leader of a serious organization is going to say “whenever is great by me!” When waiting on extremely vital information. Sorry. Again, it wasn’t enough to get Poles to go to plan B. No one said or implied that.
Frankly, I doubt you know how a “leader of a serious organization” thinks. There’s no indication that Poles was upset or put off by it though. People like you are the only ones I’ve seen upset about it
-
I guarantee you Poles was “worried” about his medicals. He’d be a piss poor GM if he wasn’t.
-

Extremely vital? He's a world class athlete. Chances are the medicals are fine. lol
Guessing Poles didn't give much of a shit. But maybe he was furious. Who knows and who cares. Again, if he sucks and he busts out, it isn't going to be because he handed in his medical shit differently than normal.
-
But clearly that’s who Poles wants, so of course he had no real choice but to wait.
-
I guarantee you Poles was “worried” about his medicals. He’d be a piss poor GM if he wasn’t.
haha, I doubt it.
-
I guarantee you Poles was “worried” about his medicals. He’d be a piss poor GM if he wasn’t.
You have guaranteed, promised, and assured something but still not acknowledged that you have zero evidence supporting your claim or the means to know at all. Which you don’t.
It’s clear YOU are upset that he waited to do medicals at his visit, but my guess is Poles knew that would be the case long before the combine. You’re projecting your own thoughts onto Poles
-
“Chances are.” You think GMs run their team by “chances are?” Downplaying medicals is pretty nuts. Hell, I’ve seen guys rejected in line joining the military and they’ll take almost anyone!
-
haha, I doubt it.
Did it “keep him up at night?” That’s not at all what I’m saying, but if you don’t think Ryan Poles put a very high value on his medicals then I have a two-flat in Englewood to sell you.
-

A competent GM is going to want the #1 pick in the draft’s medicals as soon as he can get them. It’s common sense. Doesn’t mean it’s a deal breaker.
-
A competent GM is going to want the #1 pick in the draft’s medicals as soon as he can get them. It’s common sense. Doesn’t mean it’s a deal breaker.
And he knew he would get them, likely knew when he would get them, and he got them.
You're projecting your own views onto Poles and 'guaranteeing' he feels the same way you do.
-
I'm pretty certain that the number one overall pick in the draft is going to be fine on medicals. Sure, they obviously want them, but the chances of those medicals being bad are pretty fucking slim, don't you think?
And, even if they said something bad, when do you need them in order to determine that you're going in a different direction?
-
I'm just having trouble understanding why medicals are so important to have at a certain time.
-
Tempo, stop using all your good stuff here. Save it for our podcast.

Of course he knew he would get them, it doesn’t mean he didn’t want them sooner. What if Caleb’s medicals came back with a problem and then Poles had 3 less weeks to adjust accordingly?
No corporate GM is going to happily sit around waiting several weeks on vital information that will determine the very direction of his company when it’s information he could have today. That is not the way these people operate, and thinking they do operate that way is height of naiveté.
-
Again…NOT A DEAL BREAKER, as Caleb is the obvious #1 choice.

I'm going to guess they had a plan of what they would do if there was some glaring issue with his medicals, which was obviously a longshot from the beginning.
The point is it WASN'T information he could have today. But he almost certainly knew exactly when he would get it, so my guess is he wasn't too worried about Caleb doing fun stuff in the meantime. That's not a guarantee or an assurance because I'm not in the business of projecting my views onto others and guaranteeing they agree, but I have seen no indication anywhere that anyone in Bears organization was particularly worried about the medicals coming at his visit instead of the combine. I've seen you and other people (mostly, surely coincidentally, people who loved Fields and have been weirdly critical of Williams for months before this) complain about it, but nobody who actually is involved.
-
Again…NOT A DEAL BREAKER, as Caleb is the obvious #1 choice.
No is saying you're claiming it should've been a deal breaker, you can stop repeating that.
We're saying it's a dumb thing to be worried about at all. Especially the part about the golf tournament.

You don't think that Poles had a contingency plan in place in the event Caleb had multiple sclerosis or something? Did you think he would sit there and say, well, we don't have the medicals, so I guess we just have to sit and wait.
Lol, come on. Leaders always have plans for when things don't work out. Poles had a plan if Caleb had cystic fibrosis or an enlarged heart or something.
-
Oh shit. Caleb has stage 4 breast cancer. We're fucked now. What are we going to do?!
-
Tempo you LOVED Fields being a part of the Chicago community and going to games from other sports. Why the sudden change regarding Williams doing it?!

Then I guess they’d have traded him. Again, you guys don’t understand the point at all. Ryan Poles is going to want that information as soon as he can get it (but yes, he’d also be “willing” to wait for it if need be). But it wasn’t really “needed,”
It was preferred by Caleb. I just don’t like the message it sends. I’d rather have someone who prioritizes the business of the Chicago Bears as they are getting ready to make him the 1st pick in the draft. Is it a deal breaker FOR THE 900th TIME, NO…
-
Eat shit, nerd.
You did have contingency plans, didn't you ?
And the Bears probably have contingency plans for every pick that they have in the draft. Including the #1 pick.
-
Fair question actually
We now that he sucked because he was too busy going to the Bulls game AND studying the Bible instead of the playbook.
-
LOL, it was absolutely not a fair question
Tempo wants it both ways.
-
You did have contingency plans, didn't you ?
And the Bears probably have contingency plans for every pick that they have in the draft. Including the #1 pick.
The Bears never even had dinner or a sit down with DeSean Watson. There are typically stones that go unturned. As their clear #1 choice how do we know most of the resources weren’t directed at Caleb? I would think the decision between Daniels and Maye (or whomever) would require more due process. That’s also 3 less weeks you have to hammer out a trade if you pursue that option.
-
No CEO is going to be “totally fine!” with waiting 3 weeks for vital information to the direction of his company, if that’s information he could totally have today.
-

While the Bears are waiting out Caleb Williams, other teams are finalizing their plans. Could be a major wrench in any potential trade option.
-

Yeah. Well, it's a good thing that his medicals were fine. You know, since there was a 99.99999% chance that they would be.
-
How many times are you going to say that?
Maybe as long as it takes common sense to prevail.
-
How many potential number 1 overall picks in the history of any sport have flunked a physical?
-
Yeah. Well, it's a good thing that his medicals were fine. You know, since there was a 99.99999% chance that they would be.
That’s a high percentage. What if they weren’t?
-
My opinion is common sense even when almost no one else agrees with it
-
That’s a high percentage. What if they weren’t?
How many potential number 1 overall picks in the history of any sport have flunked a physical?
-
Larry Ogunjobi’s medicals were fine until they weren’t.
-
That’s a high percentage. What if they weren’t?
Again, the chances of that were so astronomically slim that it's not worth considering. That's why Hoge called you out. And you're bitching about this because they didn't keep Fields.
-
Betting Adam Hoge knows the price of the orange chicken he bought.
-
Larry Ogunjobi’s medicals were fine until they weren’t.
Oh. Was he a potential number 1 overall pick?
-
Betting Adam Hoge knows the price of the orange chicken he bought.
Probably takes his car to a mechanic for oil changes tho
-
I love the Ogunjobi example since he turned his medicals in on time and came back clean, even got drafted a couple rounds ahead of his projection. Doing medicals at the combine didn’t prevent something coming up later
He’s also about to enter his .. 7th? Year in the league?
-
I wonder if the Bears have done another physical on Caleb this week.
What if something popped up in the last month?
-
I wonder if the Bears have done another physical on Caleb this week.

Could happen. He probably smokes 3 packs a day and eats red meat for every meal.
Hell, he could be missing a limb for all we know.
-
How many potential number 1 overall picks in the history of any sport have flunked a physical?
Again, I find it really hard to believe that a GM on the verge of making a franchise altering pick that will likely determine whether or not he keeps his job would have such a laissez faire attitude toward the medicals of his future franchise quarterback. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
This is the highest stakes in the sports world, not tiddly winks. It’s a no-brainer that any GM would definitely prefer to have such vital information sooner, rather than multiple weeks later. Caleb is the “generational” quarterback prospect in this draft, and this is a new era of player empowerment. Being Caleb is the near unanimous #1 pick, I’m sure Poles was willing to wait it out, if not thrilled to do so.
-
Oh. Was he a potential number 1 overall pick?
No, but he was signed and cut loose, and not nearly as vital as a franchise quarterback.
-

Again, it’s not just that, but yes, sometimes teams don’t do their homework on others (see, Ryan Pace/DeSean Watson). And again, it’s less time to build up a trade market for the pick if that’s something he’s interested in.
-
(https://i.postimg.cc/vHfc0xjN/IMG-7266.jpg) (https://postimages.org/)
It's not a strawman, I'm just making fun of you.
I'm not actually worried, nor do I think you are, about something having come up in the last few weeks.
Your example was an odd one though. A guy who passed his physical at the combine, but later couldn't sign with a team after he failed one. Then signed a 3yr/$28m deal with a different team (who he apparently passed a physical for).
-
Actually, you guys are right, it’s just the franchise and Poles’ career at stake. I’m sure Poles was totally cool to wait several weeks unnecessarily. Would have been a good time to take a 17 day trip to Europe!
-
Could happen. He probably smokes 3 packs a day and eats red meat for every meal.

Ok, but that didn't happen. He's fine. And Ryan Pace isn't here.
How much time to you need to build up a trade market for the number 1 fucking overall pick when this draft is loaded with talented quarterbacks and receivers? Come on, man. You just wouldn't have given any kind of a shit about this if you didn't want them to keep Fields and trade that pick.
The medicals on Caleb came back fine. Just like everyone thought they would.
-
Actually, you guys are right, it’s just the franchise and Poles’ career at stake. I’m sure Poles was totally cool to wait several weeks unnecessarily. Would have been a good time to take a 17 day trip to Europe!
Now you're coming around.
The medicals are fine on him, right?
-
What if he has a vagina?!😳
Oh. Well, then the Bears would be the most diverse franchise in football.

It's pretty clear that there's nothing too small for you to criticize Caleb Williams for and he isn't even drafted yet. This shit is going to be absolutely insufferable this year.
-

Since you will be at the draft, maybe you can do a "cup check," so to speak.

Jobu is right. Just like the huge majority of the criticism Tempo has for Williams, it's not actually about Caleb Williams at all. It's about Fields still.

It could be worse than the constant Fields dick sucking we all witnessed last season.

No, it's not like that at all. What the fuck are you talking about?
-

Sure it is. Caleb Williams is probably the most empowered NFL prospect of all-time. How is that much different?
-
Obviously not given that rookies used to negotiate their contracts, but post-rookie scale how is he any more “empowered” than any other presumptive #1 pick?
-
If he is somehow empowered, that doesn’t do anything for the rest of the rookies in the league. So it’s nothing like the portal at all.
Peyton Manning and John Elway were empowered as fuck. That, also, is not like the portal.
-
Oh. Well, then the Bears would be the most diverse franchise in football.
The Bears are already a diverse franchise.
They suck at running the ball, passing the ball, stopping the run, stopping the pass, and special teams.

He’s already rich. He’s the best prospect in 10 years. It’s the era we live in. If Caleb wanted to force a trade he could have pretty easily done so.

Trying to have a civil disagreement with you is like trying to drink from a sewer.

Dealing with him is similar to dealing with the portal. Your mid-round picks are probably no more empowered than normal.

Oh. Was he a potential number 1 overall pick?
A football player that fails a physical is a football player that fails a physical. What does his position matter?
-
I wonder if the Bears have done another physical on Caleb this week.
What if something popped up in the last month?
I would assume there’s something in the bylaws that prevents teams from requiring random physicals every other day.

Jobu is right. Just like the huge majority of the criticism Tempo has for Williams, it's not actually about Caleb Williams at all. It's about Fields still.

No criticism of Caleb will stand! No matter how minor!

Well yes. You add to it.
"I'm worried about his car because it may mean he's full of himself."
"I'm worried about this social media video because it may mean he's full of himself."
"I'm worried he went to this golf tournament because it may mean he's full of himself".
They are all absurd and stretchy 'criticisms'.
-
JFC dude, and you like to accuse me of being disingenuous.
-
We’re done discussing any of that if you’re going to continue to misrepresent what I’ve said (over and over).
-
For the 11th time, I’ll try to explain what I’m talking about in regards to “his car!” I never once said “Can’t draft Caleb, look at the car he drives!” What I said is that I would be curious enough to ask if there have been any noticeable changes in Caleb since “getting paid.” I can assure you, had I been given a couple million dollars at 21 I’d have been out there making some questionable decisions. I even remember multiple Chicago Bears saying fortune and fame became a distraction for 50 year old Mike Ditka in the mid 80s, and believe me, that dude had a lot more than just coaching the Bears on his mind. He was everywhere.
Even Custard agreed it seemed like a point POTENTIAL interest. About a week after I said that, I heard Dave Wannstedt say that teams will hire private investigators to look into the top prospects. I wasn’t even talking that level of scrutiny, I was implying I’d ask a handful of people around Caleb and the program if they’ve noticed any changes in his personality. “OMG that’s way too much scrutiny!”
-
I have ZERO problem with Caleb attending a golf tournament, it actually makes me LIKE him more. But I did think it’s not the best look to be farting around while important business of the Chicago Bears, the franchise he’s likely to be leading for the next 15 years is on the back burner. I want someone who shows a high level of urgency during perhaps the biggest month of his life.
My concern level on this? A 2, maybe 3 on a scale of 10. OMG that’s too much scrutiny!
As I’ve said multiple times, minus a serious revelation, I am drafting this kid if I’m Ryan Poles. OMG so unfair to Caleb!
-
So I will say this…I am willing to concede that my (mostly pretty minor!) “concerns” about Caleb could easily turn out to be overly skeptical. I’d also confess that some of my skepticism is likely born of my lack of desire to see a change at quarterback.
Are you willing to concede that maybe (just maybe!) your eagerness to give him a complete pass on literally every conceivable critique could also be a mistake? I’d be surprised if you did. I can’t think of a single thing you’ve “dinged” him for.
-
In 12 hours Roger Goodell will announce, 'with the #1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft the Chicago Bears select USC QB Caleb Williams.'
And then everybody fights over the rights to the remaining 5 QBs

I have not given him “a complete pass on literally every conceivable critique” in any way, that’s purely made up. I’ve said he tends to big play hunt in a way that needs to be reigned in in the NFL, that he tends to try to make every play incredible when that isn’t necessary even if he “can” make the play. I’ve said he carries the ball away from his body in a way that will result in fumbles and he needs to fix it. I watched the Notre Dame game and said he needs to be careful about trying to do too much and compounding mistakes with risky throws instead of taking easy ones which he did in that game. Those are all IMO reasonable, valid criticisms of him.
I do not think his car or the video or the golf tournament are remotely reasonable criticisms or signs that he has some bad attitude or character flaw. Those types of things are the stretchy desperate seeming “critiques” that people are making fun of. If you want to criticize his play, have at it. I may not agree but at least that’s a relevant thing that actually matters.

I saw him back in the day. My cousin was engaged to a guy who was a bouncer at The Comedy House in Little Rock Arkansas. We arrived about an hour early and my cousin’s fiancé and Jerry were outside chatting. I talked to Jerry for about 10 minutes. This is actually before his show blew up. So late 80s, very early 90s. Was backstage with him after the show and our group asked him if he was going to go out drinking with us. He mulled it over a bit and said he was tired and headed back to his room. I was that close to partying with Jerry Seinfeld. My cousin and the bouncer guy never got married.

"Two Jordanian nationals were known to federal authorities before they attempted to breach security at Quantico Marine Corps Base."
"The second man crossed the U.S. from Mexico to California six weeks ago, on April 8, 2024. The next day, the U.S. Border Patrol issued a notice to appear before an immigration judge and, later that day, released the man into the U.S.
Just 24 days later, on May 3, 2024, ICE agents detained both men after military police at Quantico’s main gate on Fuller Road said the driver of a box truck ignored commands to wait patiently on the side of the road while they worked to identify the two men inside the truck, who did not have ID. Instead, the driver hit the gas and collided with a hydraulic barricade, known on base as a vehicle denier."

There has to be some 3D chess opportunity in the world today. Conservatives HATE regulation. A "No U Turn" sign is a regulation. But removing the sign "because gay" is ridiculed, despite it producing a result that Conservatives like.
Maybe the Democrats need to raise taxes because low taxes discriminate against immigrants. Abortion restrictions result in more gay babies, so we need to restrict abortion to increase the gay population. etc...

I don't think it was about stigmatizing a street. You have to keep in mind why the signs were put up in the first place. Times have changed and the locals thought they should come down.

For some reason, the most vocal Christians among us never mention the Beatitudes (Matthew 5). But, often with tears in their eyes, they demand that the Ten Commandments be posted in public buildings. And of course, that’s Moses, not Jesus. I haven’t heard one of them demand that the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, be posted anywhere.

Teachers teach. Governors govern.
The Governor of the Great State of Minnesota, who ran on a platform of education, absolved his Department of Education of any criminality in its lack of oversight of a $250 million fraud scheme.
Rather than saying there will be accountability and expectations in his Dept of Education after an Office of Legislative Auditor report critical of the DoE, he comes up with 'nobody at the DoE has been found to have done anything illegal' and 'we can always do better'.

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by their Vagina. He was found civilly liable for doing just that. He was convicted of a felony for charged related to paying hush money to another woman. Yet half the country thinks he is fit to serve as President, and a disturbing number think he's a messenger from GD.
Terrence Shannon was [wrongfully] accused of grabbing a woman by the vagina, and there were a significant number of Illini fans who thought he was unfit to represent the University on a basketball court.

I always used to think my Democrat friends were nuts for always wanting more money for education. After all, most people aren’t getting into teaching for the riches and notoriety. As I’ve gotten older and watched a lot of good teachers I know leave education for other pursuits, typically because of politics and bureaucratic nonsense, I’ve thought a time or two that maybe we should pay these people more.
In some ways it’s the same decline that’s hit police forces—keep lowering the entry standards, pay like shit, force them into a never ending cycle of red tape and “Gentle Parenting/Policing” school of thought nonsense, and then everyone wonders why the end product is garbage. About the only people left to do the work are people who can’t do much of anything else in society—the conservative ones choose law enforcement and the liberal ones tend towards education/government.
So given all that, it’s sadly unsurprising that 250 million went missing and they are just passing the buck.

Like, those who don't know have a clue how to raise children, tell others how to raise their children.
Education is mostly inspiring the kids to want to learn, instilling intellectual curiosity. Then it's possible to save them time by teaching them how to think. Really, though, once the fire is lit, no one can stop them. I attended fairly good schools, but they were largely a waste of time.

I was a (small) public school kid but that was a long time ago. My kids are in private school and it will stay that way. Ms Custard grew up wanting to be a teacher and taught elementary school for 4 years after college. Left for 1/10 the headaches and 5x the pay at age 26. I originally was against private school, but she insisted. In retrospect, I am glad she did. It’s been worth every penny.

I’d say maybe instead of celebrating the symptoms of mental illness we should be encouraging proper treatment. The singer of Nashville based Rainbow Kitten Surprise, a trans person who is currently a girl I think, is a prime example of how resources and medication can help. Most trans people don’t have those resources, so instead the left insists we should pretend this is normal, and worse, celebrate them as brave heroes. This phenomenon is essentially what happens when participation trophy and gentle parenting reach a full-blown lack-of-accountability zenith. Let’s stop normalizing untreated mental illness and get these people the help they need.

The truly sad thing is that it doesn’t take a doctorate to recognize that it’s mental illness.
Tens of millions of Americans take a daily antidepressant or anxiety pill, most with significant side effects, for relatively mild clinical depressive or anxiety disorders. (Mental illness)
But people who have gender dysphoria that go into debt to mutilate their bodies and take hormones to chase a reality that they can never, ever achieve is fine and dandy!
These same people are many, many times more likely to attempt or commit suicide than the former group of people who have recognized mental illness, and it’s not simply because they’re marginalized, but because they had mental illness to begin with!
The progressive argument around the gender issues seems to be based around not believing what my own eyes and brain tell me, backed with self-serving and tenuous-at-best research. Scary when participation trophies and gentle parenting have trickled down to medicine and research. Like George Carlin said 30 years ago, “People have been bullsh*tted by the system into believing that if you change the name of the condition, somehow you'll change the condition”
The progressive left:
“Destigmatize mental health, normalize conversations and effective forms of treatment!”
Also the progressive left:
“(insert condition here) is NOT a mental health issue, they just need love and compassion”
Gay people are called gay for a reason. Generally some of the happiest, most upbeat people I come across. Most of the trans people I’ve been around have some serious issues that they need genuine help with, not progressive enablement to keep grasping at all the wrong straws.

Is gender dysphoria a mental disorder?
Because gender dysphoria is included in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, also called the DSM, it is diagnosed as a mental disorder, experts said. (The DSM is the handbook used by health care professionals as the authoritative guide in diagnosing mental disorders.)
Joe Locke and Kit Connor
Hungarian bookstore to fight fine for sale of LGBT-themed ‘Heartstopper’ graphic novel
But the gender incongruence — having a gender identity that’s not the one assigned at birth — isn’t what makes gender dysphoria a mental disorder. Having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence is what makes it a disorder, Ahuja said.
“Like all DSM illnesses, one key component of depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, all of that, is that you have to be functionally impaired by it, otherwise it doesn’t count as a diagnosis,” he added.
Gender dysphoria’s inclusion in the DSM is also necessary for access to gender-affirming care — so for The Trevor Project’s DeChants, whether gender dysphoria is in the DSM is partly a pragmatic issue.
“We do need to do more to destigmatize and help folks understand that being trans is not being mentally ill,” he said. “I would like to see moving away from the DSM.”

Basically, like George Carlin said, we’ve been bullshitted into thinking changing the name of the condition changes the actual condition. We need to destigmatize mental illness, but we also need to change the diagnosis because it’s stigmatized. Which is it, boys?

From the Wiki ....
"Gay is a term that primarily refers to a homosexual person or the trait of being homosexual. The term originally meant 'carefree', 'cheerful', or 'bright and showy'.[1]
In the 1960s, gay became the word favored by homosexual men to describe their sexual orientation.[3] By the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, the word gay was recommended by major LGBT groups and style guides to describe people attracted to members of the same sex,[4][5] although it is more commonly used to refer specifically to men.[6]
The Wiki backs up Custard. Sorry, Ray.
Illove may have a point.
And thePAMan is correct.

Harry should have used /s. Maga Republicans tend to lack innate sarcasm detectors.
Usually, something like this causes people to jump back a little, self reflect, and find common ground.
I can't believe maga would blame Trump's opponents, given his and their own unprecedented levels of personal nastiness.
Also, they are the ones who talk about 2nd amendment solutions.
The hypocrisy is deeply rooted on both sides, but exceptionally so on the hard right.

"The law bans school rules requiring teachers and other staff to disclose a student’s gender identity or sexual orientation to any other person without the child’s permission. Proponents of the legislation say it will help protect LGBTQ+ students who live in unwelcoming households. But opponents say it will hinder schools’ ability to be more transparent with parents." -- ABC

Paper straws will kill you. Use plastic.
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19440049.2023.2240908
Many food contact materials (FCMs) and reusable plastics in the food industry contain poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a group of synthetic pollutants that are known to be potentially harmful for wildlife, humans, and the environment. PFAS may migrate from FCMs to food consumed by humans. As a replacement for plastics, often paper and other plant-based materials are used in commercial settings. This also applies to drinking straws, where plant-based and other presumably eco-friendly straws are increasingly used to reduce plastic pollution. In order to make these materials water-repellent, PFAS are added during manufacturing but can also already be present early in the supply chain due to the use of contaminated raw materials. In the present study, we examined the PFAS concentrations in 39 different brands of straws, made from five materials (i.e. paper, bamboo, glass, stainless steel, and plastic) commercially available on the Belgian market. We combined both targeted and suspect-screening approaches to evaluate a wide range of PFAS. PFAS were found to be present in almost all types of straws, except for those made of stainless steel. PFAS were more frequently detected in plant-based materials, such as paper and bamboo. We did not observe many differences between the types of materials, or the continents of origin. The presence of PFAS in plant-based straws shows that they are not necessarily biodegradable and that the use of such straws potentially contributes to human and environmental exposure of PFAS.

Spectacularly off-target.
My paternal side fled Germany to escape religious persecution in 1848-49, and my great great great grandfather enlisted and fought for four years in the Illinois Infantry Civil War.
My grandmother is a DAR and can trace her family’s American roots back to 18th century New England. Her side of the family also fled persecution.
No one in my family ever owned or condoned slavery, and actively fought against it for the entirety of our time here in America.
I’ve been a history and Civil War buff since I was in elementary school. I’m intimately familiar with American history, and I’ve no shame for being born white, unlike Tempo.

Who could blame a company for cutting back on its DEI initiative in the current political environment. SCOTUS affirmative action decision, anti-DEI bills, Republican AG harassment and social media firestorms are all part of a very predictable right-wing backlash.
But the DEI news isn't all bad. In fact, it's pretty encouraging. Many companies still see the benefits and are carrying on with their programs or retooling them to better explain their purpose.

What I find incredible is that minority DEI hires sometimes (often?) didn’t deserve to get the job, yet every white person who got hired clearly deserved the job (and even some that didn’t).

Being white is a tough job! It ain’t for everyone!
-
The point of diversity, equity, and inclusion is to counteract traditional uniformity, favoritism, and exclusiveness.
While there has been improvement, women and racial or ethnic minorities have been disadvantaged. The reason for the improvement is because of DEI. Diversity is also an inherent good, but as with all good things, it has to be cultivated.
Some white males complain that losing their advantage places them at a disadvantage.

I know, it is tough. Black males have it so much easier. They only have to deal with things like being pulled over by the police and searched for no reason, and possibly being shot.
Or being denied a credit card, a mortgage, or a job for which they are otherwise qualified.
Or being treated like an an affirmative action hire if they do get a job.

DeSantis got all huffy in a presser this AM regarding total damage from Milton, for some reason trying to minimize it. But to do so, he compared it to Ian and Helene. Not sure if he gets the irony that 5 years ago we used to talk about Andrew, which happened decades ago, and now he's downplaying Milton because it wasn't as bad as last week's hurricane.

No state "locked down" for three years. And Forida implemented many of the same protective health measures as other states did in the first eight months of the pandemic. When the Delta variant hit in November 2020, some states extended their measures for another six months. Others like Florida didn't.

I gather he is saying DeSantis mismanaged the recovery from Ian.

What did he do to fuck up their property and how could he have done better?
DeSantis' policy on immigrant visas created a labor shortage right at the time the state needed lots of that sort of labor for reconstruction of Lee County. Materials were also in short supply because the port was clogged up due to similar labor issues. Delivery of materials was also bogged down because road clearance and reconstruction by FDOT was to the level even the Iraqi's would scoff at.
His utility commission was completely fubar, and water/power were not restored to the north stretch of Hickory for over a year, despite the utilities NOT being in a labor crunch - utilities share their skilled workers who pretty much go from disaster to disaster. Good luck with the 3 million in Florida out of power now if North Hickory had to wait a year post Ian. The condo had to buy multiple generators at their own expense and run them to power A/C units such that units undamaged by the storm surge didn't become mold infested while we awaited power.
In disaster areas, best practice is to streamline permitting. 18 months after Ian, our condo building still did not have permitting to replace what was an existing elevator. We finished a kitchen remodel (plenty of labor to do interiors - because those types of skilled workers were picking their asses because external construction was going at a snails pace in Lee County). In order to get the countertops to the unit, we had to hire a crane and put the granite through the window because there was still no elevator.
There were additional permitting problems with the reconstruction of the pool house and plumbing to the poolside bathroom, which had existed for over 40 years - to the point that the HOA just punted completely on rebuilding the poolhouse, going with only a pool.
Debris removal in Lee County - Ft Meyers Beach, Bonita, and Naples, was ineffective, delaying the ability to access parts of the building and for safe beach access.

We'll see how it plays out for the shit head. He has this psychic need to say "see, Florida is A-OK" when he says the storm wasn't as bad as they predicted, but that just means "it didn't hit Tampa, but Sarasota and Punta Gorda got completely fucked"
And there is no rooftop on the Rays stadium. It was pretty bad. He's trying but he's gonna be in a corner when people just start saying "fuck this shit, I'm out". People will eventually leave their ancestral homeland if it gets bad enough, but if you have a state full of transients, they aren't gonna put up with much of anything

low key underrated part of this...
A lot of midwesterners took their nest eggs and retired to Florida. Even the ones whose houses didn't get completely trashed in the series of hurricanes, are putting a lot of thought into getting out.
The ones that stay are going to be paying a shitload of money for insurance or just going naked. The ones that leave are going to have a hell of a time trying to sell their homes. Stock market at an all time high but retirees losing half their nest egg in the Florida housing market will not end well

Also underrated: Florida is going broke one way or the other. Either the state is going to have to bail out underinsured homeowners or homeowners whose insurer went broke and didn't pay out - or property values in Florida are gonna crash. Florida has no state income tax - relying heavily on property taxes... and that pot will crater if home values crash

Central Coast is not Southern California. Carmel is pretty awesome. What's really wild about Carmel is, you think of it as this super expensive ritzy place, but we have friends who moved there because the high school is pretty good and the housing was *cheap* compared to the Bay Area. Like it used to be pricier, but outside of places that are literally inside the 17 mile drive that run into 8-9 figures, prices have stayed pretty stable while the Bay Area got silly.

This guy is pretty good, he makes one key point but then doesn't take it to the next level.
Harris discusses a 25k credit for first time home buyers. What good is that going to do you if your *insurance* is 10k per year.
In many areas, insurance is getting to the point where insurance costs are as much as the mortgage. And you can't get a mortgage without insurance.
So we end up in a situation where the only feasible housing market is cash buyers who self insure, in some parts of the country. Anywhere near a tree that might burn or a river that might flood.
My insurance in MV is 1/5th the amount of the insurance on the Tahoe place, despite being worth 4x as much. Or is it worth even more, given who can buy the Tahoe place at what price if insurance is what it is? I don't own a lot on the property, there is a very real consideration to paying off my loan (at 3% !!!) just so I can go naked on the insurance. But if I do that, I have to stop the VRBO due to liability, or just get a liability rider.
It will be very interesting to see the Florida condo market when the special assessments start rolling in for the HOAs. If you try to go naked to lower the HOA, some people will say screw it and sell. If you don't, other people will say screw it and sell.

These dumbasses probably making 200k base with at least that in stock comp and benefits decide to steal the 3k per year charitable contribution match - donating the 3k to the charity and then getting the whole 6k (their original plus match) back from the charity after paying off the mole at the charity. Then of course taking the 3k deduction from their taxes.
So now, no fat salary and 5 years in jail. Come on - if you're gonna be corrupt, you gotta have a better ROI than that.

Here's one.
My sister is doing a remodel in West Lafayette, because you know, the Murphy's are real estate barons.
Anyway, the remodel is getting punked because they can't just put good, solid, modern siding and windows onto the house. You see, the neighborhood - which is basically right off campus and has a bunch of ramshackle homes that are all hodge podged together and don't have a lot of money piled into them because for the most part are student rentals - was declared "historic" so any repairs have to match the "historic" nature of the neighborhood.
Regulation! Big Government!
Who lobbied for those regulations? The chair of the Tippecanoe County GOP. Who doesn't even live in the neighborhood.
Everything is hypocrisy, we should just get over it already. It's pathetic - in this case "historic" means "we hadn't invented better shit yet, the people who built these houses would have killed for modern plumbing"

The kid's dad only shows up now so he can file some lawsuit against the guy who had to deal with the loser's BS on the train. I don't see the yahoos from West Virginia, for example, just showing up so they can sue someone.

You mean the bankruptcy creditors like States, local governments, hospitals, etc. that sued them? Not really comparable to this scenario. But keep trying.
-
Where was the dad when the kid needed him? Sounds like he was nowhere to be found. Only being in the courtroom to feign outrage is way too late.
I’m gonna point out that article was written by a guy who was fatherless. Clearly has daddy issues, so I’m guessing everything is Daddy’s fault in his opinion.
-
So the son was addicted to drugs and that's the father's fault.
But drug overdoses in Appalachia are Mexico's fault.
Checks out.
And Big Pharma. It’s always someone else’s fault when the perpetrators/victims are white. Black fathers are absent, so of course it was his father’s fault…fits the narrative perfectly. It’s his father’s fault that white man choked him out.

A white man trained to kill I might add.

regardless of how you get to that point, if your kid dies, it would suck
I don't think it's useful to throw shade at a parent grieving their child.
The situation was FUBAR. The dead kid was a mess. The kid who killed him... - the situation could have been handled in a manner that didn't end up in a death. Shit happens. We try to make less of it happen.

As someone who actually rides public transportation, fuck these crazy and/or doped up assholes. If their parents won't do anything about them, what happens happens when they fuck with people just trying to get to work.
Normalizing lunatics and junkies on public transportation is one of the reasons a Trump won.

I didn't normalize it. I just said - if your kid dies it would suck. I don't think you're disagreeing, just making the standard HQ2 strawman argument.

and to this point - you could extend this to say it doesn't matter if the cartels are providing fentanyl, we can't normalize high school kids who go to a party and pop pills and end up getting one laced with too much fentanyl and die, it's their parents fault.
Just because their parents are rich white people - they can still be useless parents who deserve to have their kid die. Nope. Good parents can have bad results, bad parents can have good results. We weep for dead kids. Period.
(Note - while I think the cartels are evil sons of bitches, I don't think we can stop that problem by putting gestapo on the border, I posted a ways back about a drug bust in Lincoln that involved a lot of meth, cocaine, and fentanyl, and it was all white guys. If they can't get it from the cartels, they end up breaking bad and figure out how to synthesize it themselves. I don't know how we get kids back on bud light and an occasional doobie, but stopping the availability of fentanyl is like saying if we all stay home for 3 months and wear masks, we can eradicate COVID).

The dude who got choked out was homeless, crazy and gooped up on goop. His mother was murdered by her boyfriend and stuffed into a suitcase. He was a serial harasser on public transportation. Dad was nowhere to be found until he sniffed a payday.

Reminds me of a story. About 40 years ago I was in NYC GCS with 2 guys. Now I was not small, 6-2 or 3 in shoes and about 185. The other two guys were bigger. One of them was an Olympic athlete.
We saw a thief using his cane to try and steal a woman's purse. So we approached in an intimidating manner and he had to back off.
The would be thief then approached a cop. He was pointing at us and waving his arms around and yelling.
Cop looks over at us and looks at the thief and shrugs, like whaddya expect me to do? Thief walked away all disgusted. He was doing his job, gets harassed by three tourists, and the cop did nothing.
It was fun getting around on the subway and ferry. Came across a few crazy people talking to nobody. Everyone just ignored them.
NYC reminded me of riding on an airplane and looking out the window.

https://www.persuasion.community/p/the-tragedy-of-jordan-neely-and-daniel
Custard's Guy DeBoer qouted....
The Tragedy of Jordan Neely and Daniel Penny
If not for America's prohibition on involuntary commitment, they would probably have never met.
Neely entered the train at 2nd Avenue loudly complaining of hunger and thirst, throwing down his jacket and shouting that he didn’t care if he went back to jail, even for a life sentence, and that he was “ready to die.” Penny pleaded not guilty to manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, and his attorneys have argued that he was trying only to restrain Neely, not to kill him. (Passengers other than Penny were worried about what Neely, judging from his own words and demeanor, might do).
On the left, many activist groups and elected figures rejected the verdict out of hand. Some tried to depict Neely as a man pushed to the limit by poverty, and whose difficulties end there—despite the fact that Neely had been picked up two years earlier for breaking a 67-year-old woman’s nose and fracturing her orbital bone as she exited the subway, in exactly the type of random, violent outburst to which the severely mentally ill are sometimes prone. On the right, meanwhile, many have argued that Penny shouldn’t be tried, but celebrated as a hero and even a patriot, with seemingly very little recognition that a man, Neely, is now dead—or even that he, or any others suffering under similar circumstances, were ever deserving of sympathy to begin with.
Confined in the car with Neely and a bunch of frightened and vulnerable people, Penny can hardly be said to have gone in search of a proving ground that day. The question of whether he misapplied the choke that must have seemed like the least of all bad options was rightly a main focus of the trial.
What shouldn’t be in dispute, however, is that the status quo regarding crime, mental health, and homelessness is intolerable. America needs a real conversation about the decades of failed policy that conspired to put Neely—and Penny—in harm’s way.
And while the statistical relationship between deinstitutionalization and mass incarceration is unclear, people suffering from severe mental illness are, in fact, more likely to commit violent crimes, and our current revolving-door setup does very little to meaningfully deter people from that path.
Neely’s too-short life is a case-in-point for whom the current system fails. In and out of jails and hospitals for the past decade, Neely was 14 when his mother was murdered by his stepfather. Her remains were discovered in a suitcase discarded on the shoulder of the Henry Hudson Parkway, and when he was 18, Neely testified in the murder trial. Contemporaneous reports compiled since his discharge from foster care at age 21 depict a man of profoundly wrecked psyche, who suffered from major depression, schizophrenia, PTSD, the destabilizing effects of synthetic cannabinoids, and the associated bodily ravages of severe mental illness and life on the streets.
Released from Rikers Island on a plea deal following his attack on the 67-year-old subway passenger two years ago, Neely was required to complete a 15-month stay in an intensive inpatient treatment center. He walked out after 13 days. Three months after that, he was dead. And his case isn’t unusual: according to one journalist, of the more than 45,000 individuals “engaged” by the NYPD in the subway system in 2022, only 7,700 accepted assistance. Too often, when offered assistance (however dubious), psychiatrically unwell people prefer to go it alone—as the courts have established is their right. As the critic and author Freddie DeBoer has argued, “Our mental health crisis is not merely a crisis of access; it is also a crisis of refusal.”
Jordan Neely deserved better—as did Daniel Penny, who ought still to be an anonymous student, unfamed and unhated, one among millions who work and study quietly in this city. But no matter whether you support the trial outcome or not, what a broader sense of justice requires of us is to look unflinchingly at the status quo surrounding mental health and homelessness and decide if it’s the best we, as a wealthy, modern country, can do. The answer should be “No.”

'Nobody did anything illegal' was the VP candidate's response when asked how the state missed what has been described as the largest fraud case in U.S. history.
Walz was referring to state employees not doing anything illegal in the state's lack of oversight.

(https://i.ibb.co/BP4Sp6L/Screenshot-20241214-075759-Chrome.jpg) (https://ibb.co/1nswgXZ)
EIDBI is a state and federal funding program for kids under 21 with autism.
And Walz said the state couldn't stop funding them without a conviction. But it appears as tho the state never tried to convict anyone. They called up the feds instead, and they had to do their investigation.
The number of autism services program centers went from 41 in 2018 to 328 last year.
And our AG ? His name was being tossed around to be the Harris/Walz AG. 👌

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz conceded that his previous behavior that is at the center of a House Ethics Committee report was “embarrassing, though not criminal.”
In a post on X in response to CNN’s reporting on Wednesday that the committee has voted to release the report, Gaetz emphasized that he was “FULLY EXONERATED” by a separate Department of Justice probe.
And he said he “NEVER had sexual contact with someone under 18” — a claim that is addressed in the House Ethics report, CNN has previously reported.
“My 30’s were an era of working very hard - and playing hard too. It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now,” he said.

It's pretty sad the Senate is going to confirm Hegseth.
The GOP controls the presidency, so one would presume a pretty hawkish Sec Def, maybe some random pushback on various cultural initiatives. Might not be what I would prefer "exactly", but frankly Sec Def isn't exactly an office mostly shaped by what we consider partisan theory, like say maybe Transportation.
Transportation in a GOP administration might prioritize more money for highways, reduce subsidy for electric cars (modulo vice president Musk), and less for bike/ped projects, subways, prefer freight rail to passenger, etc... There is a reasonably clear differentiation in priority.
Sec Def is pretty straightforward. You want someone who has been a high level manager in the Defense Dept or a civilian Defense contractor, who has experience running a monster size organization.
Hegseth is a lightweight.
Kaine had a pretty good line of questioning, regarding the assault allegations in Monterey. Hegseth kept going back to "never charged"/etc... but he did do a settlement and he said it was a "shakedown". Kaine said "so you were blackmailed" and Hegseth tried to wobble away from it. The Secretary of Defense should not be someone who puts themselves into a position to have a "shake down" happen.
I'm even less concerned about RFK. If he starts a program to eliminate measles vaccines requirements for public school, that's bad policy in my opinion, but Trump won the election so they get to pick the policies. I don't like the pick but I'm hard pressed to just say he's flat out incompetent.
Sec Def is not a policy position. It's an experience position. Bad pick.

Trump and Elmo are draining the swamp. A low level Customs and Borders director has been charged with stealing 2 months rent from FEMA and lying about it to the FBI.
The Director was approved for assistance to repair water damage to her basement. She also indicated her home was uninhabited and was granted 2 months money for rent and utility assistance. Evidence gathered by the FBI indicates she and husband still lived in the home. Bank records indicate the money was not used for rent. When interviewed by the FBI, she denied any wrongdoing.

It's being hyped on the right as rooting out deep state corruption. I first came across this story in blog that bragged about how Trump is ignoring lower court orders.
From the NYT
"FEMA approved funds for the repairs as well as two months of rental assistance, specifying the money was to be used for rent and essential utility costs while she was in temporary housing, according to the criminal complaint. The complaint said she received about $6,300 from the agency."
It doesn't say how much of that was for repairs and how much was for rent.
I am glad they are focusing efforts on 55 year old black women in low level manageable positions receiving questionable chump change.
"Ms. Baker-Hill, 55, is a career customs employee and the director of an agency center focused on the automotive and aerospace industries."
The FBI was apparently looking at other things when they became suspicious of Baker-Hill.
Perhaps her agency was investigating automotive and aerospace contracts?
-
A director of a governmental agency had to actually apply for the funds, from another governmental agency, before the funds could be approved.
-
Yeah, don't see the issue with this one.
-
I don't know how much of the whopping 6300 was for rent, but it will take a lot of those to balance the budget. I am guessing the cost of the investigation exceeds that.
At this point, they haven't decided whether to even seek an indictment, or if so, if it would be a felony or a misdemeanor. They did put on her on unpaid administrative leave.

after all these years, still, nobody is cracking down on employers who illegally hire undocumented workers. It's like the way a lot things work; nod nod, wink wink.
Not that I agree with Obama, or Trump, or Biden. I would start by decriminalizing simple unlawful entry. Make it equal to a parking ticket. Then set something up so x number of migrants can work here legally with some form of a tax ID. Determine the number by assessing the need.
I sort of agree with Trump on taking an aggressive approach against the gangs and Cartels.

You support defunding the people who uncovered this shit. Like firing people at the IRS in charge of catching tax cheats.
If you think taxation is theft, don't fire the IRS. Have congress eliminate the income tax. But you see, the GOP isn't against the income tax, they are against being taxed personally. So it's better to keep the income tax, tax the suckers, then cheat on the taxes and fire the IRS agents.

Your story always goes "he didn't know" or "there was nothing he could do about it". Bullshit.
I have a gardener who was born in Mexico, who takes care of a lot of our yard as a side hustle. No - I didn't vet his SSN.
What I did do, was rely on the vetting of Ferrari-Carano vineyards, where he has worked for 20 years. Ferrari-Carano is owned by Bill Foley (owner of the Vegas Knights), who has donated massive amounts to Trump. Surely Bill Foley would not be in violation of the law?
Winery was previously owned by Gary Carano, uncle of Gina Carano, noted wingnut. But at least Gary Carano took care of his workers. Foley sounds like a major dick. Been great for me as my guy has more availability and needs to hustle more because Foley cut his overtime, and Carano also owned a bunch of local housing stock that he let his workers use for free as in kind compensation, Foley started charging them rent.

-
Your takeaway was that the farmer didn’t know the employee’s social security info was bogus? He showed it to me specifically because he knew it was BS and thought it was funny.
You guys say that they need to crack down on employers, but if they need labor, these illegals can provide it for the right price, and they are able to meet documentation requirements, what employer is going to blow the whistle on themselves? The government clearly doesn’t care, why should they?
As always with you guys, the people that are here illegally using falsified documents to get jobs are the good guys. Local people trying to run a family business and meet regulation requirements are the bad guys.

I don’t think everyone that comes across illegally is a bad person. I suspect the vast majority of the ones that come here for work are good people, and it’s good for us to have their labor. Have never really been concerned about it in the past.
I do think what’s happened the last several years has been a complete debacle, and a lot of bad people have come across that shouldn’t be here. Glad we are at least making an attempt to send that faction back and bust up the cartels.

I haven’t seen them flying planes full of maids and dry wallers and roofers back, have you? Seems to have been pretty laser focused on the worst elements that have entered the country, which is something I think we would all support. 🤷🏻♂️
Disrupting supply has been the strategy by both sides for pretty much forever until the torrent that flowed across the past several years. Not just on border crossings, but drugs, etc. Obviously with mixed results, but I don’t think an open border with no ramifications for entering is the answer either, just like it wasn’t the answer for Portland to legalize hard drugs.

I understand where you are going. Trump is using some obscured wartime law to deport gang members without due process. He ignored court orders to stop it.
Anyone who says he should not violate due process rights and should obey court orders is accused of arguing on behalf of gang members.
I have no sympathy for the gang members. I would stil be cautious about this kind of reasoning.

Only a judge, not the President, should decide if US designated foreign terrorists are allowed to stay in the country, or be returned from international airspace to the country.
It's especially fitting that the judge be the FISA Court judge who gave probation to the FBI lawyer who misled the FISA Court in the Carter Page FISA application.
It's especially fitting that the judge be the judge who authorized 2017 subpoenas on 2 Congressmen, Jason Foster and the current FBI Director, Kash Patel in Russiagate.
Foster is still trying to unseal the subpoenas.

Obviously not, but it was a pointless, stupid stunt to appease who, exactly?
Deporting gang members here illegally is wildly popular, even if an obscure policy was used and mid-air court orders were ignored. Perhaps especially so, after being told for year there was nothing Joe could do.
Only the most deranged of the TDS crowd could oppose it, and only on the grounds of “due process” and “obeying court orders.” It’s the wrong battle for Democrats to fight right now.

Summary Proceedings Involving Deportation WIthout a Legal Hearing
"Many foreign nationals are removed from the U.S. through various types of summary proceedings, without any involvement by a judge. Perhaps the most common type of summary proceeding is expedited removal. This discussion focuses on the other two main types of summary proceedings, which are known as reinstatement of removal and administrative removal. A foreign national may be subject to removal without a hearing before a judge in a few other rare cases that are not covered here."

Not really, but I am also not spending time parsing every detail of what Trump does trying to find reason to get mad or offended. To me it appears that the EO declaring these violent/gang illegals as essentially invaders then invoking the war powers grants more sweeping authority and fewer potential roadblocks to executing the roundups.
Will I be upset if he uses this to round up maids and roofers who aren’t causing any problems? Yes. But maybe we should let it play out a little before we play the “it’s a constitutional crisis” card. These people never should have been here to begin with, and I really don’t give a shit what strings the the admin has to pull to get them out of here.

More red meat for the MAGAs. Apparently using current law is not giving Trump the flashy visuals of mass deportations he was expecting. Trump’s initial immigration actions have been largely underwhelming in terms of the number of deportations he continually claimed would happen during the campaign.
They just sent all of the migrants that were being held at Guantanamo (which was only about 40 people) back to the US because Trump's DOJ was going to have to appear in court in the next week or so to face a lawsuit over the detentions because only a few of the migrants being detained remotely fit the description that Trump claimed (“dangerous criminals”).
It's true that nobody is losing sleep over gang members being deported, but Trump sold a false narrative that he can't deliver on and is now desperately casting about for ways he can use to convince his cult that the false narrative might still be true. Sadly, the way he's going to do that is treat migrants who have not committed a crime and have no criminal record like violent criminals.

While I am sure you desperately want this to be true, I don’t think it makes much sense. As he does, he bloviated about mass deportations beyond just criminal elements, but also hinted at primarily focusing on criminals. That’s what they’ve done to this point, and the base aka “cult” seems to be ecstatic about it. Don’t think he needs to go after regular folks just to appease the relatively small radical element that wants them all gone at the risk of alienating a bunch of the others that wanted exactly what we’ve been getting.

The Trump gang knew they couldn't remove “11 million people”. They have nowhere near the ICE staff or facilities. So the plan was to launch a huge, loud, PR blitz with lots of tough talk and video of planes taking a few dozen people away so they could throw red meat to the MAGA base and fool them into thinking lots was being done.
Trump spent his first weeks in office emphasizing a mass deportation campaign aimed at criminals who are in the country illegally. That’s fine, but it looks like Trump isn't content with targeting undocumented immigrants. His administration is now testing its power to deport any non-citizen it feels like without just cause or due process.

She didn't like Thomas' inclusion in the race. Enough examples exist in this space, that it's pretty much baked in that there will be changes going forwards. But Trump was promising to deal with her top issue pronto - an issue that will resolve regardless of Trump's election - so she voted for him despite Trump being so bad for her on other issues that were previously fine, which Trump has now fucked up.

Say you don't know how hard it is to get a green card without saying it.

She did not lose I thought. I thought she tied him/her and they would not let Gaines on the medal stand, preferring him/her to be up there when they tied for third.
If that is the case, I can understand why she is so pissed off. That was stupid on the NCAA's part and completely backfired.

After that race, Thomas and Gaines shared the fifth-place podium, but Gaines said that Thomas was given the only fifth-place trophy for the event. Gaines told The Daily Wire that an NCAA representative told her, “Hey, I just want to let you know, we only have one fifth place trophy, so yours will be coming in the mail. We went ahead and gave the fifth place trophy to Lia, but you can pose on the podium with the sixth place trophy.”

Being married to a US Citizen doesn't mean you get a green card. I have plenty of co-workers who joke about that, having moved here on H1-B, marrying a US Citizen, and still not having a green card a decade later. So they fly back to Mumbai or Dubai or London for 3 weeks every 2 years to renew their visa.
One laughs that eventually instead of his wife sponsoring him for a green card, his son will when the son turns 18.

So they fly back to Mumbai or Dubai or London for 3 weeks every 2 years to renew their visa.
One laughs that eventually instead of his wife sponsoring him for a green card, his son will when the son turns 18.
She's just making that shit up for click bait for stupid people. And you swallowed the hook.
I didn’t know anything about it until you brought it up. 17 seconds of research showed nearly everything you said about the situation was not true. The original story you were citing off the cuff was simple “gotcha” clickbait, just like when you and Robb would post with glee any time someone who questioned the vaccine supposedly died of Covid.

She did not lose I thought. I thought she tied him/her and they would not let Gaines on the medal stand, preferring him/her to be up there when they tied for third.
If that is the case, I can understand why she is so pissed off. That was stupid on the NCAA's part and completely backfired.
They were tied fifth. Almost a second behind 4th. In a 200 free that's an eternity. I mean, it's a pretty solid accomplishment just to make the Division I NCAA cut, let alone qualify for the finals, so to say "she was a shitty swimmer" is being a major asshole. I swam in High School and Riley Gaines would have beat me by an entire pool length at my best. Even if I had modern swim techniques and a race suit, she'd still smoke me.
But at that level, there is a very huge leap between the top couple swimmers and someone who finishes 5th. Like - "Lottery Pick for the NBA" and "played a little semi-pro ball in Estonia". The NCAA's are this week and for most races, the winner is already known barring injury or DQ. Gretchen Walsh won 4 medals at the Olympics, set 9 WR's at short course worlds. She's not gonna get challenged by someone who didn't make the finals of US Trials.
This said, I think we still need to have separate categories for transgender athletes. It's an a priori good to have humans compete in sports, so I don't think we just drop someone off the map. And the category would be so small that it might not be an NCAA division - if you want to swim competitively you can swim Masters. Masters races are already raced mixed gender by seed times, with winners sorted by overall time, so it doesn't cost the meet organizer anything.

She claims he would have his green card if he had been vaccinated. That's at best misleading. If there was a rule holding up his application because of vaccination status, removal of that rule doesn't mean he gets a green card. He's been here 3 years. Means he's probably not even near the front of the line. Even as a white european.

My son doesn't like scrambled eggs. Never has.
Somehow, he will eat this product called "Just Eggs" which is some sort of vegan protein fake eggs. Certainly they are trying to make them just like eggs, maybe they aren't doing a very good job if he will eat them and not scrambled eggs (really, this is just some psychological thing with him - we hope he finally just will eat actual eggs because the protein in the eggs is probably better for him).
Why clown thread? We went to Whole Paycheck yesterday - not a single egg in the joint. But they had "Just Eggs". And it's not like people weren't interested, they were pulling out pallets of the shit (hell if I know what they taste like).
Go figure. Thanks Trump.

There was more to the story.
He did go to a job interview earlier that day. He wasn't going to get hired.
He did have a backpack delivery that he made
"A 10-year-old child, stated that she, her father (Chris Louis), and her two siblings had walked to McDonald’s from [an apartment complex]," police said in the report. "She further stated that her father left to deliver a backpack to [the apartment complex] and told her he would return shortly. The child also mentioned that her father frequently left them alone."

DENVER — Denver will stop using its automatic license plate reader cameras after every city council member voted against a contract extension with Flock.
They voiced concerns about data security and potential immigration enforcement access. Flock camera data is accessible to more than 80 law enforcement agencies, some of which have committed to cooperating with U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

I am not sure what planet some here have been living on. Maybe Mars? In the United States, the term Democratic Socialism is used interchangeably with Social Democracy. It refers to a mixed economy -- free market capitalism with some central planning / public funding / social insurance.
Democratic Socialism can also mean socialism achieved via democratic elections rather than violent revolution. So the context matters.
It is never used to make socialism sound better. Rather, Social Democracy staves off socialism by addressing the excesses, inequities, and other shortcomings of free markets.

If Republicans keep going down the roads of White Nationalism, Predatory Monopolism, and Neo-Mercantilism; literal Democratic Socialism will become more popular.
If we are going to have centrally planned economies by corporate monopolies in their private interests; why not instead have government central planning in the public interest?

The failing NYT sets off TDS victims with some irrelevance, gets criticized for exploiting the deaths of people, changes course and has a London writer tell readers 'how to help' and then tells its readers about avoiding scams but fails to include the NYT and their role in scams and fraud.

Seems to require a Denver Post sub
A judge fined two attorneys for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell $3,000 apiece Monday for filing a motion riddled with AI-generated errors in a case that resulted in a jury finding Lindell liable for defamation over false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.
Judge Nina Y. Wang, of the U.S. District Court in Denver, found attorneys Christopher I. Kachouroff and Jennifer T. DeMaster violated court rules when they filed a motion that featured numerous errors, including misquotes from caselaw and citations from nonexistent cases.
Kachouroff acknowledged using generative artificial intelligence to draft a motion during a pretrial hearing after the mistakes were found.
Kachouroff initially argued that the error-ridden motion was filed by mistake. However, the version that Kachouroff said was the correct one still contained “substantive errors,” including some that weren’t in the filed version of the motion, and it had timestamps that did not align with his claims, Wang found.

She said “contradictory statements and the lack of corroborating evidence” failed to persuade her that the AI-assisted filing was an inadvertent error, versus sanction-worthy negligence.
The judge also found Kachouroff’s responses, in which he tried to shift responsibility and suggested that the court attempted to “blindside” him over the errors, “troubling and not well-taken.” As Wang sought to determine if the AI-assisted motion was filed out of simple human error or was sanction-worthy, she wrote that neither Kachouroff nor DeMaster provided the court with “any explanation as to how those citations appeared in any draft of the Opposition absent the use of generative artificial intelligence or gross carelessness by counsel.”
Wang wrote that “this Court derives no joy from sanctioning attorneys who appear before it.” She settled on the $3,000 fines as “the least severe sanction adequate to deter and punish defense counsel in this instance.”
Kachouroff and DeMaster did not immediately return requests for comment Monday.
Lindell is not liable for the fines. Last month, he and his media company, FrankSpeech, were ordered to pay $2.3 million to Eric Coomer, the former director of security for Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, after the jury returned its verdict. Lindell, one of the most prominent pushers of the conspiracy theory that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, had called Coomer “treasonous” and accused him of committing crime

“When you send a message, there’s no guarantee that it’s received, so someone needs to follow up,” he said. “In the weather forecast offices, the one who follows up with that is the position called the warning coordination meteorologist. And guess what, there is no WCM in the San Antonio/Austin weather forecast office, because that’s one of the positions that was lost in the cuts from this administration.”

When you took time off from work whether it be a vacation, sick time or any other reason were your job functions assigned to another department or to anyone in specific ? Or were they completely ignored ?
Mine weren't.
When someone retired, were there job functions assigned to others ?
Mine were.
When Rachel Frazin's supervisor takes time off, does she have someone to report to ?
I'll assume that she does.

Oh, it "appears, you say". You're not certain tho. Are you ?
Nobody knows yet, because they've been too fucking busy to pay attention to the NYT, and everybody's stories about "could" and "may" and "appears" from employees under the Biden administration, ex-NWS, ex-NOAA employees, union officials or any others.
It's been less than a week. They've got work to do.
And Rachel Frazin quoted the person from during the Biden administration who said "could".
A journalist could ask for other possibilities than the one mentioned. Or, I suppose, just quote the person and leave it at that.
I'm not reading the other one.

There is nothing definitive yet, but the evidence indicates staffing cuts may have hampered getting the message out.
"Tom Di Liberto, a former NOAA climate scientist and public affairs specialist, told The Hill he believes that even with the staffing cuts, the administration should still be able to get the forecast out.
However, he warned that other functions that help the NWS do its job such as building relationships could be diminished by the cuts."
“My big concern is, when it comes to the staffing shortages and the loss of expertise, that we’ve lost, not only their knowledge … knowledge of their regions — what areas flood, what areas are most of concern — but we also lost the relationships with existing partners and external partners,” Di Liberto said."
The worst part is they are cutting research.

"What we're hearing: The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
"Our own base is telling us that what we're doing is not good enough ... [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public," the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them "civility isn't working" and to prepare for "violence ... to fight to protect our democracy."

The WNBA is a good metaphor for Government. The existence of the WNBA gives young girls someone to watch playing basketball who is "like them", so maybe they pick up a ball and play hoops. Go out for the HS team, maybe play some pickup ball in college, maybe even play college ball. They do this instead of volleyball or swimming or tennis or the drama club.
A decade or so later, they might go to a WNBA game or two, not enough that the league makes money. But when their hubby asks if they can get seasons tickets to the Sacramento Kings, she says sure why not, because she likes basketball. Maybe she buys a t-shirt. She watches the NBA finals.
The league loses 40 million a year? If instead of trying to expand viewership for the NBA with American women, they decide to go after European or Asian Men, that costs a lot more than 40 million a year. The NFL probably spends more than that for each game they play in Europe, for games that are only profitable because they get the added TV revenue from having a game at 8:30 AM Central for the degenerates who usually don't care about Jacksonville vs Arizona.

OK, try this one. It's a "Loss leader".
The government does not make a profit from building roads. The government spends money on roads, but gets nothing back in return, modulo a few toll roads.
But the existence of roads means that we can go to work and make money, and sell things to people who want things, sometimes by them driving or biking or walking on those roads to get to a store. All of those activities generate sales and income taxes, far in excess of what it costs to pave the roads. Roads do make a profit in and of themselves, they enable a profit in a larger context. And really if you are doing it properly, you don't measure it in terms of the taxes generated down the line - people's lives are better because there are roads, and while that isn't measurable in a P&L statement, it can be worth investing in roads for people to have better lives. When I buy an ice cream cone and eat it, I now have less money, making it a bad financial decision, but I like ice cream and the benefit from getting that ice cream cone might be more valuable than the money.
The NBA loses some money running the WNBA, but the WNBA draws more people into the overall basketball ecosystem of the NBA, where the real money is made. And some of the return is just general goodwill. not measurable in dollars and cents (though that's probably a very small part of the motivation here).
The NBA is thriving. MLB not so much. Coincidence? The NFL is creaming themselves over Taylor Swift attending Chiefs games. Increases their bottom line.

As I have pushed here repeatedly, the terms Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism are frequently conflated in the United States. However, in some circles, and especially in Europe, they are clearly distinguished.
Social Democracy = a mixed economy. Primarily free markets with some central planning.
Similarly fascism, conservativism, neo-liberalism, capitalism, monopolism, and nationalism all tend to get lumped together in the USA.

Drug addiction, also known as substance use disorder (SUD), is a widespread public health crisis impacting millions of Americans across various demographics.
Prevalence
Over 48.5 million Americans aged 12 and older (16.7% of the population) had a SUD in the past year, according to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).
Drug use disorders (DUD) specifically affected approximately 27.2 million Americans aged 12 or older in the past year.
Over 70 million Americans (24.9%) reported using illegal drugs or misusing prescription drugs at some point in the last year.
Roughly 25% of individuals who use illicit drugs are likely to develop an addiction.

Drug addiction in the United States
Drug addiction, also known as substance use disorder (SUD), is a widespread public health crisis impacting millions of Americans across various demographics.
Prevalence
Over 48.5 million Americans aged 12 and older (16.7% of the population) had a SUD in the past year, according to the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).
Drug use disorders (DUD) specifically affected approximately 27.2 million Americans aged 12 or older in the past year.
Over 70 million Americans (24.9%) reported using illegal drugs or misusing prescription drugs at some point in the last year.
Roughly 25% of individuals who use illicit drugs are likely to develop an addiction.

It is not all that hard.
The terms Democratic Socialism and Social Democracy are often used interchangeably with inexact meanings.
Strictly speaking, Venezuela is an example of Democratic Socialism. Why? Because socialist economic policies were adopted via the democratic process, rather than by Marxist revolution.
Denmark is an example of a Social Democracy. The economy is mixed; primarily free markets, but with some central planning to mitigate the shortcomings and excesses of predatory capitalism.
Due to the bullshit Two Party system, Social Democrats and Democratic Socialists are lumped together in the USA. Just like Conservatives and Nationalists are lumped together.

The GOP. They prefer to defund the police and just go with strict military control. The police do things like help old ladies cross the street, and also they do things like investigate rape allegations against GOP politicians, and pull over Matt Gaetz for DUI. Useless. The military takes orders man, go beat up some Mexicans.

You're not an elected Congressperson and AOC appears to disagree.
“Defunding police means defunding police,” the congresswoman said in a statement. “It does not mean budget tricks or funny math.
And the Wiki describes her as a member of the Democratic party, not as in a fringe subset of democratic socialists.
"She is a member of the Democratic Party."
The Minneapolis mayoral candidate advocates for defunding the police and he's endorsed by the DFL ( the Democratic-Farm-Labor party), who are Democrats to the rest of the world. It would be difficult to label him as in a fringe subset of democratic socialists if he's endorsed by the Democratic party.
But heh, anything to get him elected. Maybe even say he's a social democrat.

It probably depends on who is using the terms, how they are using them.
Republicans call for defunding social programs that help people. Defund the Police is a semi-sarcastic retort that means different things to different people.
- Downsizing -- Reduce some of the funding that goes to law enforcement and divert it to proven crime prevention programs.
-Completely defund current effed up law enforcement and start over with a reformed version that serves the public.

Yes. They want to defund social services, including those provided by police, and divert money from community policing to authoritarian style policing.

AI Overview
The slogan "Defund the Police" became prominent during the George Floyd protests in 2020. It has different interpretations, but generally refers to reallocating or redirecting funding from police departments to other social services and community support initiatives.
Here are the key aspects of the "Defund the Police" movement
Reallocation of funds: This is the core idea. Instead of increasing police budgets, proponents suggest diverting funds to areas like education, housing, healthcare, mental health services, and community-based violence prevention programs.
Emphasis on addressing root causes of crime: The belief is that by investing in social services and community development, the underlying issues that contribute to crime (poverty, lack of opportunity, mental health crises) can be addressed, ultimately reducing the need for police intervention.
Demilitarization of police: The movement also advocates for reducing the militaristic aspects of policing, including acquiring military-grade equipment.
Shifting responsibilities: Some proponents advocate for specialized teams, like mental health professionals or social workers, to handle situations that don't require armed officers, such as mental health crises or homelessness interventions.
Varying degrees of reduction: While some activists advocate for the complete abolition of existing police systems, others propose more modest cuts and reforms.
Rethinking public safety: The movement aims to redefine what constitutes public safety and envision new models that prioritize community well-being and preventative approaches rather than relying primarily on law enforcement to address all societal problems.
It's important to note that the "Defund the Police" movement has faced criticism and controversy. Some argue that it would lead to increased crime rates and reduced public safety. However, proponents counter that investing in community programs can be a more effective way to reduce crime in the long term.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is among the proponents of the call to defund the police, and a recent post on her Instagram story on the subject quickly went viral, after it was screenshotted and shared by Twitter user Ashley Quan. Asked, "What does an America with defunded police look like to you?" Ocasio-Cortez responded, "It looks like a suburb."
"Affluent white communities already live in a world where the choose to fund youth, health, housing etc more than they fund police," Ocasio-Cortez explained. "When a teenager or preteen does something harmful in a suburb (I say teen bc this is often where lifelong carceral cycles begin for Black and Brown communities), White communities bend over backwards to find alternatives to incarceration for their loved ones to 'protect their future,' like community service or rehab or restorative measures. Why don't we treat Black and Brown people the same way?
"Why doesn't the criminal system care about Black teens' futures the way they care for White teens' futures?" AOC continued. "Why doesn't the news use Black people's graduation or family photos in stories the way they do when they cover White people (eg Brock Turner) who commit harmful crimes?"
Affluent White suburbs also design their own lives so that they walk through the world without having much interruption or interaction with police at all aside from community events and speeding tickets (and many of these communities try to reduce those, too!)
Just starting THERE would be a dramatically and radically different world than what we are experiencing now.

The Minneapolis mayoral candidate moved to Minnesota from DC in 2016 after failing to win a school board seat . He was somehow placed into various govt jobs, and lost a Mn House representative race in 2018.
He won a senate race 2 years later. His 1st electoral win put him in the Mn Senate in 2020 and his campaign manager was convicted of perjury regarding absentee ballots. He faced an ethics violation over campaign expenditures.
He repaid $11,000 in campaign funds from Feeding Our Future and is on video celebrating with group members over their court case to continue the funding of a program that has resulted in 50 convictions and guilty pleas. With more to come.
In 2022, 6 years after moving to Minnesota and 2 years after his 1st electoral win he was appointed chair of the Senate Higher Education committee and vice chair of the Senate Human Services Committee.
The Minnesota Department of Education was the controlling agency in the Feeding Our Future program.
This is not normal. Nor is a man, who may or may not have run a lemonade stand as his only business experience, winning the Democratic primary for NYC mayor.

The recipent was also later awarded a conviction in the Feeding Our Future fraud by the DOJ. I've seen no pics of the award.
According to court documents, Abukarwas the founder and executive director of Action for East African People, a non-profit which she enrolled in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future and Sponsor A. Between October 2020 through 2022, Abukar falsely claimed to be serving as many as 5,000 children a day at her various sites in Bloomington, Minneapolis, Savage, and St. Paul. In total, Abukar fraudulently received approximately $5.7 million in fraudulent Federal Child Nutrition Program funds. As part of the scheme to defraud, Abukar also paid more than $330,000 in kickbacks to a Feeding Our Future employee. Abukar spent millions on real estate, including a 37-acre commercial property in Lakeville and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase an aircraft in Nairobi, Kenya.

I don't think this article from the DI had an expiration date:
Don’t confuse ‘social democracy’ and ‘democratic socialism’
By Austin Stadelman, Columnist
September 5, 2018
"Democratic socialism refers to the anti-capitalist philosophy that the public controls as the means of production through a planned economy. Resources and labor are distributed according to what the society, whether that be through means like state or planning committees, deems appropriate.
Social democracy, on the other hand, accepts the market principles of capitalism while emphasizing the importance of collective bargaining and unionization, regulatory overwatch and an adequate welfare system."
"This confusion in large part stems from Senator Sanders incorrectly identifying himself as a democratic socialist, to which he is not, as he is not even a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). He is an Independent whose beliefs align with those of a social democracy, showcased by his high praise for the Nordic model countries.
Yet since he self-describes as a democratic socialist, his supporters also inaccurately describe themselves, or at least the ideas, as democratically socialist. The actual philosophy of democratic socialism is based in an anti-capitalist planned economy. That is not how the Nordic model operates nor is it what Mr. Sanders endorses either, as they both support the free trade and the movement of goods based on liberal economic theory."

-
The Russian interference was not a hoax.
The misconduct change is an example.
"The complaint is hogwash, say legal scholars. “This is the sort of laughable thing that should go straight into the trash,” writes Joyce Vance on Substack. “Even if it’s referred for investigation, because it came from the Justice Department and the court feels some need to show it took it seriously, it shouldn’t go anywhere.” That view was shared by Thomas Lee, a professor at Fordham Law School, who tells me: “it's hard to see what he is alleged to have said violates any judicial ethics rules.” And Radhika Rao, a professor at the UC San Francisco Law School, calls the charges “ridiculous – nowhere near grounds for impeachment!”"
"What’s ironic and shameless is that the complaint keeps insisting that “Boasberg’s actions have harmed the integrity and public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary” when it’s politically charged stunts like this that sow mistrust in our justice system."
'But maybe that’s the long game: to erode faith in our judicial branch – which, as it now stands, is the only check against Trump’s authoritarianism."
"The more immediate goal is obvious: to silence judges through thuggery. And what better way to achieve that objective than to make an example of an establishment judge like Boasberg. The message is clear: if you make a critical remark or rule against us, we’ll come after you using the full force of the government."

"The complaint is hogwash, say legal scholars. “This is the sort of laughable thing that should go straight into the trash,” writes Joyce Vance on Substack. “Even if it’s referred for investigation, because it came from the Justice Department and the court feels some need to show it took it seriously, it shouldn’t go anywhere.” That view was shared by Thomas Lee, a professor at Fordham Law School, who tells me: “it's hard to see what he is alleged to have said violates any judicial ethics rules.” And Radhika Rao, a professor at the UC San Francisco Law School, calls the charges “ridiculous – nowhere near grounds for impeachment!”"
"What’s ironic and shameless is that the complaint keeps insisting that “Boasberg’s actions have harmed the integrity and public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary” when it’s politically charged stunts like this that sow mistrust in our justice system."
'But maybe that’s the long game: to erode faith in our judicial branch – which, as it now stands, is the only check against Trump’s authoritarianism."
"The more immediate goal is obvious: to silence judges through thuggery. And what better way to achieve that objective than to make an example of an establishment judge like Boasberg. The message is clear: if you make a critical remark or rule against us, we’ll come after you using the full force of the government."

Even worse is the way federal judges are having their well thought out decisions obliterated for a desired political result by John Roberts.
Not that Roberts is the only justice to render the opinion of the court but this is how things work here. SCOTUS can overrule district court judges. The reverse is not the way it's supposed to work.
-
This all goes to the influence of big money.
-
Bove also "fired prosecutors who brought charges against January 6 rioters and requested a list of FBI agents who worked on the cases."
He didn't defy a court order because there was no order to defy. Wow!

Because their job was done and they knew their appointments had an end date.
So. The agents were also told that if they had followed dept policy they had no concerns.

Your AI not working ?
Some were temporary hires due to the caseload. The media may be referring to some of the 'career prosecutors' as the temporary hire prosecutors who were given permanent status by Biden after the election but before he left the White House..
The Trump administration ended those prosecutions so the extra prosecutors were no longer needed by the DOJ.
If any of the fired ones were involved in the filing of conspiracy charges, that's fine.
-
I laughed at the AI line.
Nichi, you, like many others, need to realize the rules have changed. To the victor goes the spoils. Also, just imagine if that dumbshit Merrick Garland understood it and actually prosecuted Trump for his actual damned crimes at the start instead of doing whatever it was he was doing.

Hopping on one foot, blindfolded and barking like a dog to get those classified documents instead of locking him up. He and. Mitch are going to regret their lack of action for perpetuity.

Doubt Mitch feels any remorse. He wanted to have it both ways. He wanted Trump gone but didn't want to do anything himself so the GOP could hold on to his MAGA voters. To the extent Mitch even cares about his legacy, he will focus on what he set out to do - get a conservative SCOTUS and judges.

The 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre was a horrific event where a white mob attacked the Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a prosperous African American community known as "Black Wall Street". The attack, which began on May 31 and lasted into June 1, resulted in the destruction of hundreds of businesses and homes, and an estimated 300 deaths. The massacre was a period of intense racial violence and its legacy continues to impact Tulsa today.
The Tulsa Race Massacre serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of racial violence and the ongoing struggle for racial justice
The Tulsa Race Massacre wasn't an isolated incident, but rather one of many instances of racial violence in the United States. Other notable events include the Red Summer of 1919, characterized by widespread white supremacist terrorism and riots across the country.
Specific examples from that period include the Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the Elaine Race Massacre of 1919, and the Washington D.C. race riot of 1919. Additionally, other events like the Memphis riots of 1866, the New Orleans massacre of 1866, and the Opelousas massacre of 1868 also reflect a pattern of racial violence in the US.
Here's a more detailed look at some of these incidents:
Red Summer (1919):
This period saw numerous racial conflicts, with white mobs attacking Black communities in various cities. The Chicago Race Riot, for example, resulted in 38 deaths and hundreds of injuries.
Memphis Riots (1866):
Following the Civil War, tensions between Irish and African American communities in Memphis led to riots where 46 African Americans were killed and many more injured, according to Wikipedia.
New Orleans Massacre (1866):
A protest by Black activists advocating for voting rights in New Orleans was met with violence by white mobs and police, resulting in at least 34 deaths and many more injuries.
Opelousas Massacre (1868):
In Opelousas, Louisiana, white residents attacked and killed African Americans, including prominent Black leaders, after a dispute over a Black newspaper.
Asbury Park Riots (1970):
This incident involved seven days of rioting, looting, and destruction in Asbury Park, New Jersey, leaving over 180 people injured and causing millions of dollars in damages.
Other incidents:
The list of mass racial violence incidents is extensive, including events in cities like New Orleans, Camilla, and even in the western US, like the Marias Massacre of 1870 where the U.S. Army killed over 200 Piegan Blackfeet.

Let's not forget the shortcomings of the Great Society and the efforts by Republicans to sabotage programs.
factors that contributed to violent urban black culture
AI Overview
Factors influencing urban violence in some Black communities are complex and multifaceted, drawing on a confluence of historical and contemporary issues. These include:
1. Structural disadvantage
Socioeconomic inequality: Poverty and unemployment rates disproportionately affect some Black communities, leading to feelings of frustration, hopelessness, and alienation, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). These factors are often rooted in historical and ongoing systemic racism, leading to disparities in areas like education, employment, and housing.
Concentrated disadvantage and residential segregation: These factors are linked to higher levels of violence, irrespective of individual socioeconomic status within a given community. This is because concentrated disadvantage can erode local systems of informal social control and collective efficacy, potentially fostering environments where violence is more likely to occur.
Educational inequality: Lack of access to quality education and educational inequality are linked to violence and limited opportunities.
2. Legacy of racism and discrimination
Historical oppression and racial trauma: The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and ongoing institutional racism creates intergenerational trauma and stress, impacting the mental health and well-being of Black communities.
Systemic inequality and limited opportunities: This legacy has created and perpetuated disadvantages in Black communities, impacting access to resources, opportunities, and ultimately, influencing experiences with crime and violence.
3. Subcultural adaptations
Exposure to violence: Experiencing or witnessing violence, especially during childhood, can increase the likelihood of both victimization and perpetration.
"Code of the Streets": In some areas with concentrated disadvantage, a "code of the streets" may develop, where violence is tolerated and expected as a part of daily life, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
4. Other contributing factors
Police brutality and lack of trust: Experiences with aggressive policing, racial profiling, and police brutality contribute to a lack of trust in law enforcement and other institutions, impacting community safety and potentially leading to more violence.
Limited resources and services: Many Black neighborhoods lack adequate public and private investment, leading to a shortage of resources, such as quality schools, healthcare centers, recreational facilities, and social services, which can contribute to the challenges faced by residents.
Role of media and cultural representations: Negative media portrayals and cultural narratives can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to a cycle of violence.
It's important to note
These factors are not isolated but interconnected, creating a complex web of challenges in some Black communities.
This is not a reflection of an inherent characteristic of Black culture, but rather a consequence of systemic issues, says the Urban Institute.
Focusing on prevention and intervention strategies that address these underlying systemic factors, such as investing in education, creating economic opportunities, addressing historical injustices, and improving community-police relations, is crucial for promoting safety and justice in these communities.

A new bill recently introduced in Congress is called the "Make Entertainment Great Again Act," but it focuses narrowly on one particular venue: the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
Presented by Republican Rep. Bob Onder of Missouri on July 23, the bill would rename the modernist, cream-colored building the Donald J. Trump Center for the Performing Arts. A national symbol of the arts, the Kennedy Center has hosted thousands of performances on its seven stages since it opened in 1971. Renaming the venue after President Trump has been under discussion since February, when the president took over the organization's board of trustees.
"Since he was elected as chairman of the Kennedy Center's board of trustees, President Trump has been working to preserve the integrity [of] the fine arts by ending woke programming and rebalancing the Kennedy Center's $234 million budget, which had normalized operating in the red," Onder's office wrote in a statement.
"You would be hard pressed to find a more significant cultural icon in the past 40 years than President Trump," the congressman is quoted as saying. "President Trump's love and mastery of entertainment has stood the test of time and allowed him to capture Americans' attention for decades."

Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom
The 18-year-old high school student alleged the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts.
Gerika Mudra, 18, went to dinner in April with a friend in Owatonna, about an hour south of Minneapolis. When she went to the restroom, a server followed her inside and banged on the stall door while saying, “This is a women’s restroom. The man needs to get out of here,” according to Gender Justice, a Minnesota gender-equality organization that filed the charge on Mudra’s behalf.
Mudra, a biracial lesbian who is not transgender, said she’s been in similar situations before, where people have suggested she’s in the wrong restroom, but when she tells them she’s a woman they leave her alone. However, when she came out of the stall at Buffalo Wild Wings and told the server, “I am a lady,” she said the server responded, “You have to get out now,” according to a statement shared by Gender Justice.

Sort of like in LA, where he sent 4,000 National Guard troops and nearly all of them did very little for a few months, then were demobilized.
The goal is a photo op. And he hopes for a clash with activists. Beyond that there are no orders, no mission, no plans. Just like everything else Trump does. This action is largely performative. Trump’s is our Showbiz Fuhrer. He's not running a junta; he's producing a reality show. The National Guard are the extras.

Sort of like in LA, where he sent 4,000 National Guard troops and nearly all of them did very little for a few months, then were demobilized.
The goal is a photo op. And he hopes for a clash with activists. Beyond that there are no orders, no mission, no plans. Just like everything else Trump does. This action is largely performative. Trump’s is our Showbiz Fuhrer. He's not running a junta; he's producing a reality show. The National Guard are the extras.
Maybe they can get to the bottom of the Epstein files.

Trump's lottery number in the 1968 draft lottery was 356. He wasn't going anywhere.
dunno about that, but do know that if he were called to serve, he would find a way out. War is for suckers and losers.

People of means rarely fight in modern wars unless it’s existential in nature. While I’m appreciative of those who fought in Vietnam in a pointless conflict, I can also understand why people who had an out took it. Zero percent chance your kids would fight in a similar conflict—you’re too smart for that.

I am pretty sure that was the 1970 draft for dob 1944 to 1950. Trump had been exposed to the draft prior to that and received several deferments. It is not hard to look up.
"A lottery drawing – the first since 1942 – was held on December 1, 1969, at Selective Service National Headquarters in Washington, D.C. This event determined the order of call for induction during calendar year 1970; that is, for registrants born between January 1, 1944, and December 31, 1950"

Illiniray, I can help you. All you needed to do was ask.
Yes. Donald Trump received five draft deferments during the Vietnam War:
Four student deferments (while attending Fordham University and later the University of Pennsylvania, 1964–1968).
One medical deferment in 1968, classified as 1-Y (later 4-F) due to bone spurs in his heels.
That medical deferment kept him from being eligible for service unless in a national emergency, and it effectively exempted him from the draft.
I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do, illiniray. The thread I started should be used for questions such as these. This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to human error. Moderator, this thread can serve no purpose any more. It should be locked.

I don't believe I was wrong. I had the incorrect year but I do remember where I was watching tv on the day of the lottery. Was Trump called by his draft board pre-draft lottery ?
If not, he was going nowhere.
Then Trump's draft number in the lottery also meant he was going nowhere.

Hal,

Here’s the direct answer to your question:
Joe Biden and Donald Trump both received a total of five draft deferments during the Vietnam War era:
Joe Biden received five student deferments—while he was an undergraduate and later in law school—and then, in April 1968, was reclassified as 1-Y (available only in a national emergency) due to asthma as a teenager.
Donald Trump likewise received five deferments—four for educational purposes (college) and a fifth medical deferment based on bone spurs in his heels.
So the answer is that they received the same number of deferments—five each.
Additional Context
Biden’s deferments:
Student deferments were common at the time for full-time undergraduates and graduate students.
His medical classification in 1968, 1-Y due to asthma, meant he could only be drafted in a national emergency—effectively exempting him from service.
Trump’s deferments:
He got four student deferments while attending Fordham University and the Wharton School, plus one medical deferment due to bone spurs.
His medical deferment has drawn scrutiny—he himself described the condition as "temporary" and "minor" and has been criticized for the ease with which it was obtained.
In short: neither received more deferments than the other—they both had five.

Judge Judy, I enjoy your TV show. Here is your answer:
The main reason you hear more about Donald Trump’s Vietnam draft deferments than Joe Biden’s is that the type of deferments, the circumstances behind them, and how they’ve been publicly discussed are very different — and that difference shapes media coverage.
Here’s the breakdown:
1. The nature of the deferments
Donald Trump: Received five deferments — four for education (common for college students at the time) and one for a medical reason (“bone spurs” in his heels). That last deferment has drawn attention because the bone spur diagnosis was reportedly given by a doctor whose daughters later said it was a favor to Trump’s father. This makes it a “story” in the sense that it raises questions about privilege and influence.
Joe Biden: Received five deferments — all for education while in college and law school — and then a medical deferment for asthma. Biden’s medical deferment is less frequently questioned because asthma is a documented, chronic condition and he had mentioned it in earlier contexts.
2. How the candidates themselves talk about it
Trump has made strong public statements about military service, criticizing others for avoiding it, which invites scrutiny of his own record.
Biden rarely criticizes others over military service in the same way, so the press hasn’t had the same “hypocrisy” angle to latch onto.
3. The political and narrative fit
Trump’s deferment story fits into broader media narratives about him benefiting from family wealth and privilege.
Biden’s deferments, while similar in count, don’t align as neatly with a “special treatment” or “hypocrisy” storyline in most reporters’ eyes.
4. Historical context
During the Vietnam era, student deferments were very common; millions of men received them. Medical deferments were also common, but ones perceived as questionable — especially when the person later downplays the war or criticizes others — tend to draw more attention.
If you strip away the political spin, both men had multiple deferments and avoided Vietnam, but Trump’s deferments — especially the bone spur one — have been treated as a richer “investigative” and “character” story for journalists.

Baker Mayfield was recently asked what it’s like living in Florida.
“Did you know you can just leave literally anything on the street or in an alley here, and some dirty man in an old truck will magically appear to take it?" Mayfield said.
"Anywhere else, you’d have to call a service, pay a fee, and beg someone to haul it away. Here? Nah. The man is already out there. Always circling your hood. Collecting trash.”
According to Mayfield, it doesn’t matter what you put out there. “Moldy couch? Broken table? Rusted-out grill? Put it curbside and within hours, some dude in a beat-up Ford F-150 will scoop it. I swear, he’s got the reflexes of a jungle cat. Tears well up in my eyes just thinking about it.”
Mayfield called it an “unspoken bond” between every Floridian and the mysterious junk collector.
“Doesn’t matter if you live on millionaire row or in the hood, he’s always near. And you never see him. One time I put a trampoline with broken springs in my alley and pointed cameras at it. I saw motion… then it was gone. No person in frame. Just gone within ten minutes. Where did it go? Is he fixing it? Selling it? Living on it? I don’t care. It’s gone. That’s all that matters. And somehow, we’re both better for it.”

AI Overview
Determining the precise origin of COVID-19, whether from a lab leak or natural spillover, remains a complex and debated topic.
Based on intelligence assessments and scientific discussions:
Intelligence Community: The US Intelligence Community remains divided on the most likely origin.
Four elements and the National Intelligence Council lean towards natural exposure to an infected animal.
The Department of Energy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation lean towards a laboratory-associated incident.
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and one other agency are unable to determine the precise origin, as both hypotheses face challenges with conflicting reporting. The CIA has reportedly shifted its assessment towards the lab leak theory, but maintains "low confidence" in this finding.
Scientific Community: The scientific community largely favors the natural origin hypothesis, citing evidence such as:
Strong evidence of animal spillover at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan.
Genomic analysis showing the virus's phylogenetic relationship to SARS-like bat viruses.
Research indicating that SARS-CoV-2 likely emerged through natural evolution and recombination events between various hosts like bats and pangolins.
Other considerations:
The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is located near the Huanan Seafood Market, leading to speculation about its potential role in a lab leak.
Some intelligence reports suggest risky research methods and breaches of laboratory safety rules at the WIV.
However, no definitive evidence has been shared to support a lab leak.
China has denied the Wuhan lab's responsibility and has been accused of hindering the global investigation.
In conclusion, while there are differing views and ongoing investigations, no conclusive evidence definitively proves either a lab leak or a natural origin for COVID-19. It's crucial to acknowledge the complexities and avoid hasty conclusions based on incomplete information or biased perspectives.

You should probably hold CBS, a traditional national network, to a higher standard than niche commentators or broadly partisan outlets. What they did was wildly misleading at a critical time in the election cycle. I get that you preferred the outcome of the edited footage and as such are inherently biased and can’t be objective in any way, but I do think there’s a path where you could at least try to seek objectivity from the major networks while letting the tribes find their confirmation bias dopamine fixes on the niche channels.

Time Constraints. LOL
AI Overview
Editing interviews to fit time constraints is a very common practice in media production. In almost any pre-recorded interview for a news segment, podcast, or television show, the full conversation is cut down to its most relevant and engaging points to fit the allotted time.
Why interviews are edited for time
Conciseness: Editing removes filler words, irrelevant digressions, long pauses, and repeated information. This makes the interview more focused and efficient for the audience.
Audience retention: Unedited, raw footage of a long interview can be boring for the average listener or viewer. Condensing the content helps to maintain audience interest and deliver the key takeaways quickly.
Production logistics: News and other media programs have specific and non-negotiable time slots. The final edited version of an interview must be a precise length to fit within the schedule.
Highlighting key information: Producers and editors will choose the most impactful soundbites and quotes to create a coherent narrative or highlight the most important parts of the conversation.
-
More:
While editing for time is normal, media outlets operate under ethical standards to ensure the practice is not misleading. Reputable journalists must:
Preserve meaning: The edited version should accurately reflect the interviewee's intended meaning, tone, and substance.
Avoid taking quotes out of context: Altering the context of an answer to misrepresent a person's remarks is considered unethical and can carry legal risk.
Handle "cleanup" carefully: Removing stumbles or filler words ("ums" and "ahs") is generally acceptable, but overly "cleaning up" an answer can sometimes make it sound unnatural.

Yeah that’s all fine and well but also not at all what happened.

"Time constraints"
We'll attribute it to "time constraints" and that's our story and we're sticking to it.

AI Overview
No, Chicago is not the murder capital of the U.S., and has seen historic declines in violent crime and homicides in the first part of 2025. While Chicago did have the highest murder rate among U.S. cities with over one million people for seven consecutive years, this is a specific statistic, not an overall claim of being the capital. Other cities and counties may have higher overall murder rates, and the national homicide rate has been decreasing, with Memphis, TN having higher rates in its home county in a recent July 2025 report, according to USAFacts.
Clarifying the "Murder Capital" Claim
Misleading Term:
The term "murder capital" is often used politically, but it doesn't reflect a definitive statistical title for a city.
Specific Context:
While Chicago's murder rate for large cities was high, this only compared it to other large cities and didn't consider smaller cities or counties.
Declining Crime:
In the first eight months of 2025, Chicago experienced significant drops in violent crime, homicides, and shooting incidents, contradicting the idea that the city remains at the top of the list.
Factors to Consider for Homicide Rates
Population Density:
Homicide rates can vary significantly depending on the population size of a city, with larger cities often having higher numbers of crimes.
Geographic Areas:
A city's overall rate can be influenced by the rates in smaller neighborhoods, not just the city as a whole.
Data Sources:
Statistics can be reported differently by various government agencies, leading to conflicting information.

No, Chicago is not the murder capital of the U.S., and has seen historic declines in violent crime and homicides in the first part of 2025. While Chicago did have the highest murder rate among U.S. cities with over one million people for seven consecutive years, this is a specific statistic, not an overall claim of being the capital. Other cities and counties may have higher overall murder rates, and the national homicide rate has been decreasing, with Memphis, TN having higher rates in its home county in a recent July 2025 report, according to USAFacts.
Clarifying the "Murder Capital" Claim
Misleading Term:
The term "murder capital" is often used politically, but it doesn't reflect a definitive statistical title for a city.
Specific Context:
While Chicago's murder rate for large cities was high, this only compared it to other large cities and didn't consider smaller cities or counties.
Declining Crime:
In the first eight months of 2025, Chicago experienced significant drops in violent crime, homicides, and shooting incidents, contradicting the idea that the city remains at the top of the list.
Factors to Consider for Homicide Rates
Population Density:
Homicide rates can vary significantly depending on the population size of a city, with larger cities often having higher numbers of crimes.
Geographic Areas:
A city's overall rate can be influenced by the rates in smaller neighborhoods, not just the city as a whole.
Data Sources:
Statistics can be reported differently by various government agencies, leading to conflicting information.
Hi AI, what is the common denominator in US cities with the highest murder rates and murder numbers?

Care to provide some evidence? ABC, CBS, The Hill, BBC, CNN and others have published articles in the last few days noting the drop in crime rates. These articles have also included supportive comments from the mayor.
I've seen a couple of articles where crime experts have suggested waiting another 3 weeks or so to report data in order to improve accuracy because the reporting of crime always lags. One expert questioned how the National Guard troops were being deployed. Another would like to see a breakdown of the arrests and how they are being processed.

Hi AI, what is the common denominator in US cities with the highest murder rates and murder numbers?
*Residual effects of historical factors such as Jim Crow, redlining, ...
*Traditional underfunding of education and crime prevention programs.
*Over reliance on militarized policing.
*Poor relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
*Emphasis on punishment rather than rehabilitation.
*Saturation of guns and illegal drugs
*Recent improvement despite Republican sabotage efforts

The sarcastic reply to AI response practically writes itself. Murder inequality?
Hi AI, what is the common denominator in US cities with the highest murder rates and murder numbers?
AI Overview
The common denominator in US cities with high murder rates and numbers includes economic hardship, concentrated poverty and unemployment, and the disproportionate impact of violence on historically disadvantaged communities and specific demographic groups, particularly young Black males.
Other contributing factors include a lack of resources for public safety, isolation from social supports, and the presence of firearms.
Key Common Factors:
Economic Disadvantage:
Cities with high murder rates often experience significant economic hardship, high poverty rates, and unemployment, which can drive individuals to criminal activity for income.
Concentrated Disadvantage:
Violence is often concentrated within specific, disadvantaged neighborhoods within cities, a phenomenon known as "murder inequality".
Demographic Disparities:
Black males, particularly those aged 15 to 44, face significantly higher homicide rates compared to other demographic groups.
Resource Shortages:
A lack of resources for public safety and policing can impact a city's ability to address and prevent violence, contributing to higher homicide numbers.
Social and Environmental Stressors:
Factors like isolation from social supports, which were exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic, can contribute to volatile environments that increase violent crime.
Firearm Accessibility:
The prevalence of firearms is a significant factor in the high rates of gun homicides in affected cities.
Why This Pattern Exists:
Systemic Inequality:
These factors are interconnected and often stem from historical and systemic inequalities that create environments where violence is more likely to occur.
Localized Impact:
Focusing on the specific, high-crime areas within cities provides a more accurate picture of the threat and can inform more effective prevention strategies.

Your anger once again misplaced when it comes to food.
Using policy to justify collusion to increase margins is BS. The middlemen make most of the money already in the food industry.
Almost none of the supply chain for a Smucker or Hormel is under pressure from tariffs. Feed for livestock is dirt cheap, and it’s made here.
Hormel just may price themselves out of the shitty canned meat market if they aren’t careful.

You nailed it with your own article:
That said, not every item in Americans’ grocery baskets could see price increases.
Many agricultural products from Mexico and Canada, including some fruits, vegetables and meat products, are reportedly exempt under a trade agreement negotiated during Trump’s first term.
Potential duties on other imports and countries are still being worked out. Trump struck a trade deal with the European Union this week that established a 15 percent duty on goods from the bloc. But wine and spirits, for instance, still need to be negotiated, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this week.
“The Administration has consistently maintained that the cost of tariffs will be borne by foreign exporters who rely on access to the American economy, the world’s biggest and best consumer market,” a White House spokesperson wrote in a statement.
Every month the prices and inflation are much flatter than expected and the TDS folks can’t make sense of it.

We grilled out some chicken kabobs yesterday. Two chicken breasts, an onion, green pepper. Even organic at whole paycheck, and if you toss in a buck for amortized cost of olive oil and spices, we were out like 12 bucks, for 5 decent kabobs. A few years ago maybe that's 9 bucks.
Go out to eat around here, probably 25-30 bucks, maybe they throw 30 cents worth of rice on the plate. Groceries are up but labor costs are the real issue. With the fast food places it's also them trying to grab as much profit margin as possible. The rubicon has been crossed. I eat out like... never. It wouldn't bankrupt me but it just fucking pisses me off so I just can't do it. An omelet is not 20 bucks homie.
And they crossed the rubicon. They can bring back lower prices but they've built into me the behavior that we just cook. Period.
I'll eat out when we go to Vegas. Which - is only happening because we are going to the Broncos game. And we are staying way off strip. My sister is stopping at Costco on the way to the hotel to get a case of water and beer. I never did *like* paying for a beer in Vegas, but sometimes you just don't feel like putting quarters into the VP machine or sitting down at a table and waiting for service, and beer at the bar in the casino was like half of a bar in SF so who cares - but now a beer in Vegas is MORE than one in SF. Hell, it's probably as cheap at the Raiders game as it is at Aria.
Back in the day, I was at the Mirage and hanging in the sports book watching the Illini, I think this was circa Kiwane Garris. A waitress just was bringing me beers, I was tipping her but the beers were comped. Then they moved to where you had to get a ticket for a beer when you made a bet, but they were pretty much just giving them away for any bet. I've been told at Bellagio sports book, to get a beer comp you have to make FIVE HUNDRED in wagers.
fuck the corporations. Except Costco.

Seems like every time I bitch about McDonalds prices, someone always says, well, get the app. There are great deals on there!
No. Fuck that. I hate that shit. Why should I have to have an app on my phone to get a good deal on shit food? Especially when you put the order in the fucking app, show up to the place and some kid is like, derrr, I don't see your order here.
Taco Bell pisses me off with that too. There are some things that are only available on their stupid fucking app. Why?

Just about every business tries their best to force you to use their app these days. I’m with you on principle—I don’t go along with it most of the time. McDonald’s is one of the rare exceptions because I do like a couple things from there every so often, and using the app is the only way it’s somewhat justifiable. Even though it’s usually something I get when I’m traveling for work and using the company card anyways, but again it’s the principle of the thing. If they want to give me what I want for half the price of ordering at the kiosk or the speaker by using the app, fuck it. But I totally get where you’re coming from.

I read something in the last couple of days from the CEO who said that they've been losing customers for years.
In the video the guy says that for the last, wait for it, 4-5 years the company has seen increased costs and increases in employee wages.
What happened 4-5 years ago, say around 2020-2021 ?

Increasing app use with the lower prices reduces the number of "pimple faced dipshit named Carl" employees. The remaining people, who's wages have increased, are still putting the food together and bat signal Carl isn't there to upsell your order.
Let's ask Carl. He's been well respected here.

Carl is standing there anyway. He's fucking there. All he would have to do is punch a button on a computer and I get my super special yummy style taco. If I can only order it on the app, I get something else instead because I don't have the damn app. He's still fucking there, whether I have the app or not.

McDonald's sucks. Never eat there, but was craving a Royale with cheese a couple months ago and it was shit. Threw most of it out. The fries were bland as fuck, too. Recall the nuggets not being bad and I do like the breakfast burrito, though.

Yep. Some people will use the app for the lower prices and some will just not go to McDonald's as much as they used to because corporate won't give them app prices on in-store orders.
Like the CEO said, customer counts are down.

I’ve saved a ton of money with the McDonald’s app. I use it more than I’d like to admit, because I’m in a car a lot and my 10 year old loves McNuggets. But I’ve saved a lot of money with it. I’ve cut back on how much I eat, though. I usually just get a $2 biscuit or a free mcchicken.

The food-at-home (bought at grocery stores) CPI grew 2.2% from July 2024 to July 2025.
The food away-from-home (restaurant or fast food) CPI increased 3.9% from July 2024 to July 2025.
Over the last few years, McDonald’s average prices per item grew around 40%, according to several reports. The chain faced harsh criticism, but until now, it attributed these increases to the rising cost of food, writes TheStreet’s Veronika Bondarenko.

It hasn't been amplified enough but eventually this guy is going to have to answer for it. People are struggling, and the problem he has is that McDonald's bottom line has been impacted by lower income people making new choices like "skipping breakfast".
People having to skip breakfast isn't a problem in and of itself. The problem is that he isn't getting that 8 bucks.

Correct. CEOs aren’t the enemy because they command a high compensation. That comp package is a drop in the bucket of their earnings and if he fucks up, he’s out and won’t ever hold a job like that again. He’ll be fine, of course, but he probably did something along the way to be the CEO of a giant corporation.
There are 2.15 million employees in the McDonald’s system. Fire the CEO, distribute his salary amongst those 2.15 million employees, and tell me how much difference that makes those employees.

right. he's the enemy because he doesn't give a fuck about anyone, not just his employees. The company goes through machinations to save pennies by making their food shittier and shittier, and paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to gauge just exactly how many extra pennies they can charge for a happy meal without losing the sale. Advertise to kids with stupid toys in the happy meal that makes the kid happy for a second but they end up at the doctor obese. Oh, the parents should navigate their kids food choices - newsflash we have a lot of undereducated gullible people in this country and they will get quickly addicted to crap, especially if all they can afford is soylent McNuggets.
Did you miss my post - the guy is unhappy that people can't afford to eat breakfast BECAUSE IT HURTS HIS PROFIT - not because of malnutrition and poverty.

This is some great shit.
5 months ago, Trump administration bans Nvidia from selling chips to China. Jensen being Jensen, Trump summons Jensen to DC, and Jensen convinces Trump to lift the ban.
Then China bans Chinese companies from buying the chips that they were banned from buying by the US a few months ago, and Speaker Johnson calls it an act of war.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/china-us-nvidia-chip-ban.html
"Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson called China an “adversary” of the U.S. on Wednesday after a report that the country has told tech companies to stop buying Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips."
-
Then China bans Chinese companies from buying the chips that they were banned from buying by the US a few months ago, and Speaker Johnson calls it an act of war.
The best part of this is that, as a condition of lifting the ban on sales of Nvidia chips to China, Trump negotiated a deal that the Government gets 15% of the sales of the chips.
The Chinese then say fuck you 15% of nothing is zero. Trump is playing Checkers, the CCP is playing Chinese Checkers.

The irony being that this is the crux of the GOP's thrust to end Government programs because you know, these things should be done voluntarily via charity. Which is basically the GOP saying that rather than pay taxes to assist programs like that for all children, if we do it with charity, we can funnel our donations solely to the demographics we approve of.

Don't Trumpers benefit disproportionately from the social programs they hate?
AI Overview
There is significant evidence that many counties with strong support for Donald Trump and the Republican Party are heavily reliant on social programs, such as Medicare, Social Security, and federal-level Medicaid benefits.
Disproportionate reliance on social safety net
Research from the Economic Innovation Group published in late 2024 revealed a strong correlation between voting patterns and reliance on government transfers.
The study found that Donald Trump received 63% of the vote among "significantly reliant counties," where at least a quarter of personal income comes from government transfers like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, unemployment benefits, and the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).
In contrast, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris tended to perform better in counties with minimal reliance on government transfers.
Geographic and demographic factors
This pattern is driven by several demographic and geographic factors, with many rural areas that lean Republican showing a higher need for government assistance.
Older populations in rural areas: A 2025 analysis by the USDA found that rural counties have a higher proportion of older residents compared to urban areas, leading to increased reliance on federal benefits like Social Security and Medicare.
Persistent poverty: These high-dependency, often-rural counties have higher poverty rates and lower wages, making residents more reliant on the social safety net to make ends meet.
Medicaid reliance: A KFF Health News analysis found that more than two-thirds of the counties with the biggest growth in Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) between 2008 and 2025 had voted for Trump in the 2020 election.
Conflicting attitudes
Despite high rates of participation, many Republican voters express skepticism toward the same programs that benefit their communities.
Views on government aid: A Pew Research Center poll in mid-2024 found that Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say that government aid to the poor does more harm than good.
Skepticism toward welfare: A 2019 Cato Institute survey found that 68% of Republicans believe that welfare creates dependency, while 71% of Democrats think it helps people get back on their feet.
Republican Medicaid enrollees: A June 2025 KFF poll found that even among Republican enrollees in Medicaid, many were divided on whether the Trump administration's policies would ultimately strengthen or weaken the program, though majorities of Democrats and Independents thought it would be weakened.
Differing views on specific programs: While there are broad partisan differences regarding programs for the poor, Pew data from 2012 indicated that Democrats and Republicans use Social Security and Medicare at roughly equal rates. This may explain why support for these programs is strong across the political spectrum, even as Republicans are more critical of means-tested programs like food assistance.

Keith Olbermann makes a good point:
"There are bigger issues in play. It is clear now that there were two different public Charlie Kirks. On the left we saw a slick but rather run-of-the-mill hate monger who mocked Democratic victims of political violence and wanted to see public executions. On the right, they literally never saw those videos. They only saw a 'beautiful man, armed only with a bible' preaching family values. How? Different social media feeds."
Seriously, I had heard of Kirk, but what little I knew of him came from secondary accounts. I gather that is true of most people on both sides.

75% of the country barely knew who this guy was - but the 15% of the country that loved him really thinks that 75% needed to have a moment of silence for him and have flags at half staff.
75% is probably an understatement.

From the WGAF file comes this perfect example of why Judy calls you out for being envious and bitter. Sorry the world left you behind, but your decisions have a lot more to do with your personal plight than anything Charlie Kirk, white evangelicals, or Donald Trump ever did or said.
You can wear your white guilt on your sleeve and post shit online about how you’re an ally to the marginalized and distressed and depressed and transitioning and Ukrainians and your support of LBGTQIA+ folks in your neighborhood. You can prefer “exotic” dark haired women even though natural blondes are like a single digit percentage of the global population.
All of these things are great. But seriously, use your intellect and go out and make some money bro

I guess we're at the point that most people on the left never heard of Charlie Kirk but they appear to be damn sure that he was the person secondary accounts on the left and who knows what foreign country accounts portrayed him to be.
So he got murdered.
And we're told that Kimmel has been treated unfairly because he told a fabrication, wouldn't apologize, told ABC that he was going to double down on his fabrication and ABC told him "No, you're not going on tv."

Brendan Carr pressured ABC to punish him. Carr said it could be done the easy way to hard way. He suggested affiliates could lose broadcast licenses.

Tempo (amongst many others) has become radicalized since Trump reclaimed office. As such, he considers moderate Democrats like PAM to be politically opposed because they reject progressive values.
Actual progressives are a minority within the party, and even though the Biden administration let the crazies take the reins for a while, they don’t speak for the majority and they’re going to keep losing Democrats elections.
Not sure the big tent is big enough for the both of you!

That's a good one Ray.
He was murdered by a MAGAt is quite the joke after the left spent the weekend saying Robinson was a conservative from a conservative family and some saying he was a right wing extremist.
The family said Robinson leaned left and the Gov said he leaned left and the people investigating the murder said Robinson leaned left.
With that in mind, Kimmel went on stage to say Kirk was murdered by MAGA, told ABC he wouldn't apologize and would double down and the dumbass got himself suspended.
Who doubles down to their employer over what they meant to be a joke ?
If it was a joke, a really bad joke, by a "comedian" with failing ratings he could have apologized for his "joke" rather than double down and he'd probably still have his job.
Kimmel can learn to code or flip burgers.

Hold the boat….the paying sycophants in the captive audience laughed at the “joke?”
WOW!
Mn already did a great job of pointing out how fucked up the whole monologue was, but here you are still leaning into a “joke” that accuses MAGA of killing Charlie Kirk.
Obviously that’s your ultimate wet dream which is why you are defending known misogynist Jimmy Kimmel, who rebranded himself as a bleeding heart liberal to salvage his career.

Tempo (amongst many others) has become radicalized since Trump reclaimed office. As such, he considers moderate Democrats like PAM to be politically opposed because they reject progressive values.
Actual progressives are a minority within the party, and even though the Biden administration let the crazies take the reins for a while, they don’t speak for the majority and they’re going to keep losing Democrats elections.
Not sure the big tent is big enough for the both of you!

The audience laughs after Kimmel showed the clip of Trump.
The laughter had nothing to do with Kimmel's attempt to continue the 'Kirk was killed by a conservative' that Matthew Dowd started and the left continued with the Groyper theory.
Matthew Dowd, fired without the Kimmel uproar, said that Kirk may have been shot by a celebrating supporter.
Yeah, that's the ticket. Conservatives are shot frequently by celebrating supporters. gmafb
Dowd then said everybody in the newsroom understood what he was trying to say.
Maybe, just maybe, Dowd explained the problem as a 'yeah, I'm an idiot and so are they.'
But no, he went on to say that he apologized and if everyone would follow him on his path towards redemption that they too will come to see the light.
There is no joke in saying that a man who has not been laid to rest died at the hands of his supporters after family and law enforcement said otherwise.
None.

I agree with this part. It's all premature..let there be a period of mourning. There is plenty of time to try to sort it all out after the funeral.
That applies to both sides. The body wasn't cold and Trump was blaming liberals. Anyone who didn't declare Kirk a martyred saint was accused of celebrating his death.
A few actually did. It's called free speech.

Well it was a dude who his parents stated leaned more liberal as of late and was “heroically” defending his trans lover according to a weird CNN reporter who tried to dramatize it as a love story. Trump wasn’t wrong in blaming liberals.

Kimmels problem was that he was making the point that the “right” was really really really focused on making damn sure that it wasn’t “one of us” because that would destroy their narrative.
This is not an implication that it was a MAGA, just pointing out that MAGA sure as hell hopes it’s not.
This is really bad framing in 2025. Too much nuance - it’s not a positive assertion, it’s pointing out the lack of a negative assertion.

WASHINGTON — While politicians of both parties largely coalesced to mourn Charlie Kirk after he was shot and killed Wednesday at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University, President Donald Trump blamed the "radical left" for the conservative activist's death.
"For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals," he said in a video message Wednesday night. "This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."

Hey man, it’s the truth…
Yes, toxicology reports from George Floyd's autopsy showed that he had fentanyl and methamphetamine in his system when he died in May 2020. The drugs found in his system were also linked to a history of opioid addiction.
However, the medical evidence does not indicate that drugs were the cause of his death:
Cause of death The Hennepin County medical examiner ruled the manner of death a homicide and cited "cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression" as the cause. An independent autopsy commissioned by the family also ruled it a homicide due to asphyxiation.
Medical testimony During Derek Chauvin's trial, medical experts testified that George Floyd died from a lack of oxygen caused by the officers pinning him down. One expert testified that Floyd's drug use had no impact on his death, adding that a healthy person would also have died under the same circumstances.
Overdose evidence An emergency medicine physician explained that a fentanyl overdose causes sedation and slowed breathing, which contradicts the video evidence of Floyd struggling and begging to breathe.

His abrasive humor is where his friends’ opinions on him diverge the most, with some describing it as amusing but others as grating — especially as his online persona bled into real life.
“I mostly stopped talking to him when he took his 4chan/irony stuff into daily interactions,” one friend told me. “He was becoming unbearable … once he dropped out of college he had no obligation to be social and none of us reached out due to his edgelord behavior.”
I wasn’t able to find anyone with insight into Jahn’s more recent views, something that his friends said was unsurprising given his withdrawal from social life over the past few years.
“If you’re having trouble finding people besides immediate family who knew him, that’s part of the story,” one friend said. “Every mutual friend drifted away over that kind of edgelord behavior.”

They say Portland is war-ravaged. As I sipped my iced pumpkin latte, strolling past historic Victorians and boutiques selling $300 clogs, I had to ask…
War-ravaged…by what? Gentrified minimalism and too many options for artisanal cheese?
On NW 23rd, the only thing in ruins is my willpower. I went in for toothpaste at Zupans and came out with a block of truffle cheddar, a ceramic soap dish made by someone named Sage, and a sense of calm I can only describe as “suburban witch chic.”
They say it’s chaos. But I see women in Eileen Fisher cardigans debating olive oil varieties. I see dogs, so many dogs, most of whom eat better than I do.
If there’s a battle here, it’s over parking. Or trying to leave Powell’s with only one book. And I couldn’t help but wonder…
If this is war, where do I enlist?

Some men who use steroids say the drugs come with an unexpected side effect: a sudden change in who they are sexually attracted to.
***
The drugs are controversial, with mountains of evidence linking them to low sperm counts and shrinking testicles.
But a small subset of male users are now reporting a change in sexuality.
In a social media post titled 'Why the f**k is trenbolone turning me homosexual?

The SEC alleged that Walters told Mickelson material, nonpublic information about Dean Foods,[115] and the SEC fined Mickelson the equivalent of the $931,000 profit he made from trading Dean Foods stock as well as interest of $105,000.[116] In 2017, Walters was convicted of making $40 million on Davis's private information from 2008 to 2014 by a federal jury. At that time, it was also noted that Mickelson had "once owed nearly $2 million in gambling debts to" Walters

FAA sets unprecedented drone restrictions over Chicago as feds step up immigration arrests
"The Federal Aviation Administration set the sweeping restrictions Wednesday at the request of the Department of Homeland Security. Updated Oct 2, 2025, 4:12pm CDT
The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed unprecendented restrictions on unmanned drones across much of the Chicago area as federal law enforcement steps up its immigration arrests in and around the city.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security asked the FAA to set the sweeping 12-day restriction against private drone that started Wednesday, an FAA spokesperson said in a statement. An FAA alert on the restriction says the restrictions are for “special security reasons” without further explanation."

In other news. A federal agency provides for security with respect to drones for federal agents who may be arresting people who may have violated federal law.

Fact: Middletown OH has a higher violent.crime rate than Chicago IL.
Oh give me a break. Crime rate is what liberals point to in order to divert attention to sheer volumes of violent crime. The overall numbers are relevant and the reasons behind it are vastly different than some small town. No one with half a brain thinks that Middletown Ohio has the same systemic issues that Chicago does. And particularly certain areas of the city. Junk cherry picked stats.
-
Chicago can have more homicides on a Saturday than Middletown has in a year, or 2 years, or 3 years.
-
Minneapolis organizers are canceling the long running 5 days in December Holidazzle and the July Aquatennial traditions due to downtown safety concerns and lack of foot traffic.
The decades of Democrat mayors may end soon with the election of a socialist.
Good job, Dems.

LOL you guys can’t be fucking serious. Oh, that’s right, you’re not.
-
I picked Middletown because the VP is from there. He was just mouthing off about the high violent crime rate in Chicago.
Chicago has 2.721 million people, with a population density of 2.721 million.
Middletown, Ohio's population is 50,987, with a density of 1,950.61 per square mile.
It is not an astute observation that there is going to more total violent crimes in Chicago It isn't a valid comparison. Crime rate might be a better comparison. Even better, look at individual neighborhoods in Chicago.

Sounds like a change in priorities for the downtown business group (i.e., shift to a winter monthslong campaign vs. a four-day event) and the need to find new leadership and partners to host Holidazzle and Aquatennial. The group still wants to be involved in both events.

No That was intentional misinformation from DHS liars.
Official Misinformation: A top official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, initially posted false information online claiming the video was an old, unrelated Chicago Police Department arrest for burglary, a claim proven to be inaccurate by local police statements and video analysis.
AI Overview
A video has gone viral showing a young woman, identified as 18-year-old Evelyn (a U.S. citizen), being violently pulled from a car, thrown to the ground, and pinned face down by a federal agent in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on Friday, October 10, 2025.
Details surrounding the incident include:
The Incident: The video, circulated widely on social media, shows unmarked law enforcement vehicles swarming a street and an agent pulling the young woman from the passenger seat of a car. She can be heard shouting, "I'm not resisting!" during the arrest. Reports also mentioned the agent appeared to place a knee on her neck.
The Context: Evelyn and her two friends were reportedly in the area monitoring U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity and attempting to warn neighbors about their presence.
The Response: The woman and her friends were detained for several hours at the Hoffman Estates Police Department parking lot before being released without charges.
Agency Identification: The officer involved was wearing a vest with "ERO" (Enforcement and Removal Operations), a division of ICE, branding.
Official Misinformation: A top official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, initially posted false information online claiming the video was an old, unrelated Chicago Police Department arrest for burglary, a claim proven to be inaccurate by local police statements and video analysis.
Local Police Statement: The Hoffman Estates Police Department confirmed that ICE agents were present in their area and came to the local police department to file a report regarding an incident that occurred during their enforcement, but stated their officers were not involved in or assisting with the immigration enforcement itself, in adherence to the Illinois Trust Act
Aftermath: Evelyn's parents have spoken out, describing their daughter as shaken by the experience, and are planning legal action. U.S. Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi has condemned the arrest and demanded transparency from the DHS.

Yep. They're changing priorities out of need.
Attendance at the 2 festivals is down because of safety concerns people have with going downtown for evening and nighttime events.
Foot traffic is down during the day.
The Downtown Council is trying to revitalize downtown. Safety concerns and reduced foot traffic forced their hand. They're going to focus on the return to work crowd and try to get them to stay downtown for whatever.

I've served on planning committees for downtown events. Safety is always a priority, but producing a big outdoor event has other challenges like setup, infrastructure, and funding to build a temporary venue. It's also important to have multiple partners and an extensive volunteer network.
The downtown business group doesn't want to produce AND promote these two large events primarily by itself. The group wants to find partnering organizations. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Meanwhile they are smart to look at a series of smaller events that take place throughout the winter months.
I hope they succeed.

The Aquatennial originated 85 years ago to showcase The City of Lakes in the summer. I think they've probably figured out a thing or two about the challenges of running the event. They have little control over the safety concerns that people may have with respect to crime in Minneapolis.
The Holidazzle is the newbie. It's only been around for close to 35 years. Downtown was all lit up for Christmas, stores had their window fronts decorated and people shopped the stores and lined the streets for the Christmas parades.

Is it margarita mix or MD20/20? That's probably where the confusion lies.
When I was like 19, I snuck MD into some pepsi cans to watch 4th of July fireworks. That's the last time I drank it. I'll just leave it at that.

I saw some MD branded drinks at a liquor store the other day in San Diego. I think they were going after the Buzz Ball type segment, and I’m 100% sure they are terrible.

I don't know if this is still a thing, but in Decatur (ugh, fuck), there's a convenience store that sells "purple drink." It's basically grape kool aid in a gallon milk jug spiked with god knows what kind of foul liquor. You can get a gallon of this poison for like $1.50. Although thanks to the radical left and inflation, it's probably like 2 dollars now.

About 15 years ago I was on some island in the Carribbean, it was the last day there and I was walking down this trail from the resort buildings to the spa center. Thought a nice massage prior to flying back to the states sounded nice. Anyways, some fella had a little stand set up along the trail and was selling piña coladas in freshly halved coconuts to passersby. I also thought one of these drinks sounded nice. Turns out the bathtub rum or whatever the hell liquor he was putting in these things was like gasoline, I got terrible heartburn and ended up puking my guts out before I even got to my massage appointment. To this day I can’t stand even the smell of piña colada anything. Those MD drinks were piña colada flavored, and I assume the rum/liquor was of similar quality to that experience years ago, so it was a hard pass for me.
I did get a few bombers of Pliny the Elder and a jalapeño IPA which were really good.

Haha, we went on a Bahamas cruise with my dipshit BIL and his wife. When we got there, we went to the beach, and these dudes had a stand set up. For 20 dollars you could drink as much as you wanted. And yes, they had it all set up in the coconuts, rum, punch mixers, etc.
Well, my son and SIL proceed to take advantage of this deal and drink their 20 dollars worth, and probably then some. As we're headed back to the boat, my SIL (lightweight pussy) proceeds to puke out the window of the shitty taxi van we're riding back in.
When we got there, the driver was acting all kinds of pissed off, and bitching at me. I was like idk, he got sick. Probably because you're a shitty driver lol. Then I said let's go everyone.
This asshole then starts screaming and talking about calling the cops. I was like, dude, fucking relax. He had a bit too much to drink and got a little sick. He was like, I'm gonna have you thrown in jail blah blah. You need to pay to clean my car.
I was like fuck. Fine. How much do you need. Dude says 5 dollars. I laughed and said yeah? 5 dollars. Damn. That's pretty steep.
I gave him 5 dollars and we walked off. Then we went to Senor Frogs and my SIL puked there too. I was like fuck, man.
We got back on the boat and he slept it off.

So Larry Summers - this guy was the fucking Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard University.
And he's emailing Epstein for *dating advice*?
The more shit comes out these days the more I realize that there are just a lot of fucking doofuses out there. Me personally, I never asked anyone for dating advice, I just went out and went with it. If you are missing some "trick" or "strategy" at the start and that's what sinks you, well, it wasn't gonna go anywhere anyway. But sure as hell, if I was Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard, I wouldn't think I'd need a trick - basically "I'm Keith Hernandez". But sure as shit I wouldn't be emailing a known sex offender.
Why were any of these fuckwads - Trump, Clinton, Gates, Dershowitz, PRINCE FUCKING ANDREW - in this shithead's orbit? You're in the position they were in and *this* is they guy you spend time with? Confide in?
I was in a Fraternity at UIUC. Take 80-90 undergrads from a big ten school in the 80's, and you're gonna have a dozen or so bad skeevy apples, no way to screen it out. But sure as shit by the time I was 25 or so, I knew who they were and even when they are on some email distribution, I need nothing to do with them. These fuckheads SOUGHT OUT Epstein.
What the hell is wrong with people.

But sure as shit by the time I was 25 or so, I knew who they were and even when they are on some email distribution, I need nothing to do with them. These fuckheads SOUGHT OUT Epstein.
What the hell is wrong with people.

Because I'm a Californian. Not only that, I'm a Californian who grew up in Colorado, so that's about as insufferable as it gets, like it's the only thing worse than a Coloradoan who grew up in California.

So Larry Summers - this guy was the fucking Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard University.
And he's emailing Epstein for *dating advice*?
The more shit comes out these days the more I realize that there are just a lot of fucking doofuses out there. Me personally, I never asked anyone for dating advice, I just went out and went with it. If you are missing some "trick" or "strategy" at the start and that's what sinks you, well, it wasn't gonna go anywhere anyway. But sure as hell, if I was Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard, I wouldn't think I'd need a trick - basically "I'm Keith Hernandez". But sure as shit I wouldn't be emailing a known sex offender.

None of it makes sense until you accept that there is no way this went down organically. You shouldn’t always rely on Occam’s Razor, but you do.
Epstein was planted for the purpose of generating blackmail material against a fair number of the most powerful people in the West. It’s the only conclusion that’s somewhat rational.
“Who might do such a thing?” You might ask.
Any ideas?

In Florida watching Caleb Fumble away a game at Doc’s boathouse
This morning made some scrambled eggs with Custards vaunted cheap Trump Costco eggs.
I needed 6 eggs to make a 3 egg omelet. His cheap eggs are in fact cheap - they are not XL, they are “large” and by “large” I mean medium
At Publix the shittiest factory farm white size L Eggs were 4.69 a dozen. Vital farms XL were 9.99, same as California. So much for DeSantis’ brilliance
Shrinkflation is not just Trumps penis
On the 1 mile drive between Publix and my parents condo - FIFTEEN for sale signs. Yeah everyone is moving to Florida
-
That would be ballsy if Costco was selling large eggs below the weight threshold set by the USDA for large eggs!
Yes, Publix in touristy areas are notoriously expensive.

I worked at Publix when I briefly lived in Sarasota. Lol many moons ago

What’s ballsy is saying prices went down by comparing the price of XL eggs a year ago to L eggs today
-
🤷🏻♂️ Regular L eggs still running around $2 a dozen here and milk was $2.12 yesterday. There’s a little chicken farm down the road that has a sign out for $4 a dozen.

Didn’t need eggs today, but looked like large eggs (the cheap ones) were $3.39ish

Democrats have recently made a lot of formerly great places shit, like MPLS, SF, LA, NYC. I’ve been to all recently since their downfall and seen it with my own two lying eyes. How do you feel about these things that have already happened versus your alarmist fever dreams that may happen?

I moved to SF in 1995. It's light years better and more cool than it was back then. Not even close. Huge chunks of the Mission District were no fly zones, as was Hayes Valley. Both are key commercial corridors right now. Market Street's renovation has been a godsend. The closing of the Great Highway as a pedestrian zone, as well as many slow streets/parklets have rejuvinated many spots.
-
Can't speak for MPLS, SF, LA, NYC; but have been a resident of IL for 66 years. Although I mostly grew up in ECI, spent a lot of time in Chicago. It's not perfect. There are isolated neighborhoods that need to do better.
Overall, there has been significant improvement. Improvements have been due to government regulations, not voluntary private enterprise. I was always a bit of an outdoorsman, so I look at air and water quality.
*******
AI Overview
Chicago is significantly better off environmentally than 60 years ago, with drastically cleaner air and water due to regulations like the Clean Air Act and infrastructure improvements. The city's water meets EPA standards, and the river, once an open sewer, now supports ecosystems. However, challenges remain, as some neighborhoods still face higher pollution levels and the city has extensive lead pipe issues.
Improvements in Water and Air Quality
*Water: The Chicago River has undergone a "renaissance," shifting from a heavily polluted industrial channel to a revitalized public asset. The Metropolitan
Water Reclamation District (MWRD) has implemented massive projects like the Tunnel and Reservoir Plan (TARP) to manage stormwater and reduce pollution.
*Air: Air quality has improved, with a 37% decrease in \(PM_{2.5}\) (fine particulate matter) since 2000, reducing the heavy smog that was common in the 1960s and 70s.
*Lifespan: Improved air quality has led to increased life expectancy, as noted by studies on the impact of the Clean Air Act.
Persistent Challenges
*Environmental Justice: While overall pollution is down, lower-income and minority neighborhoods often face higher,, localized pollution, according to a 2023 air quality report.
*Lead Pipes: Chicago has more lead service lines than any other city in the world.
*Sewer Overflows: Despite advancements, heavy storms can still cause combined sewer overflows (CSOs) that dump waste into the river.
While the environment is cleaner than 60 years ago, these ongoing issues indicate that work is still required to achieve environmental equality.

Note I didn’t say anything about Chicago.
I’ve been to the other cities many times over the last 20+ years and have seen their decline. Was in SF 2.5 years ago (before they cleaned it up for Xi) and LA/SD a few months ago, MPLS twice in last two years, NYC in October of 23.
Tempo keeps talking about which side of history people want to be on, but I sure as fuck don’t want to be on the side of the people that ran Minneapolis (and these other cities) into the goddamn ground.
It used to be a beautiful, safe city you could walk around anytime of the day or night. I couldn’t believe my eyes the last time I was there. It’s like a dystopian hell escape downtown. Same for Saint Paul. No one is outside, there’s no nightlife, people at the hotel are telling you not to be outside after dark. There are weeds growing everywhere.
That’s what these people are fighting to save? It’s already lost. And the people that oversaw losing it are the same people lying to you about what’s happening there right now. All they’re doing is trying to prevent the collapse of the house of cards that they have built. They’re not going to give up their rampant fraud and destruction of the cities without a fight.
Of course, no one other than MN and I have been there recently, so we’re a bunch of assholes for pointing out what you can clearly see when you go there. Hilarious.
In California even the damn tourist attractions are run down, everything looks like it needs a scrubbing and a new coat of paint, most public places smell like weed and urine.

Bullshit. You either know the teachings of Jesus, or you don’t. Or you don’t care. And we’ve gone way past “expelling criminals.”

The Democrats had their immigration infrastructure in place, Biden surrendered our borders and called for a surge at the border during the 2020 primaries.
The Democrats never cared about the trafficked kids, the women raped and abused on their way to the border, the people who died on their way to the border, or the US citizens being raped and murdered.
And now, after viewing the U.S. border as a minor inconvenience for entry into the country, they view the border as a line that may not be crossed for any deportation efforts.

These are made up tales that have been refuted here multiple times.
Most people care about rape and murder victims, but the Republican leadership is using them as props to stir up ethnic hatred
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here, even though some time back, they may have entered illegally". -- Ronald Reagan 1984
I think most Democrats would agree with this. Republicans not so much.
"Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then while they are working and earning here, they pay taxes here. And when they want to go back, they can go back... Open the border both ways".-- Ronald Reagan 1980

This is exactly what liberals want to rile up the voters before midterms. They love this chaos they created because it’s their only opportunity to try and win. It’s calculated and they want bad things to happen. It’s like starting a fight and then blaming the other side when they fight back. Hopefully most don’t fall for it…

Most people care about rape and murder victims, but the Republican leadership is using them as props to stir up ethnic hatred
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and who have lived here, even though some time back, they may have entered illegally". -- Ronald Reagan 1984
I think most Democrats would agree with this. Republicans not so much.
"Rather than talking about putting up a fence, why don’t we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally with a work permit, and then while they are working and earning here, they pay taxes here. And when they want to go back, they can go back... Open the border both ways".-- Ronald Reagan 1980
They haven't been refuted tho.
You conveniently gloss over 4 years of the Biden administration to find quotes from 40 years ago that have nothing to do with the current left efforts to protect people with criminal records and orders for deportation signed by judges.

Huh?
The concern is about the tactics ICE has been using. Tom.Homan promised changes. We shall see.
Nope. It's the tactics that Walz and Frey are using that are the concern.
With their refusal to cooperate, ICE is forced to do detainments in public rather than in a jail.

We have been over the 4 years of the Biden Admin numerous times. My hands are getting worn out reposting the same information over and over.
Nobody is shielding anyone with actual criminal records and judicial warrants.
Most of the people arrested by ICE have no criminal history and no judicial warrants..

An order of removal from an immigration judge is, and has been, sufficient.

Unlawful entry should be decriminalized. It is already almost always a civil offence in practice..
We should have the work permit system that Reagan endorsed 46 years ago.
I support amnesty for those who have already been here and working honest jobs for years. Especially for dreamers.
Focus efforts on drug smuggling, human trafficking, hard core gangsters .....

A order of removal from an immigration judge is a lawful order.
There doesn't need to be a criminal conviction.
There doesn't need to be a judicial warrant to deport someone with an order of removal from an immigration judge.
Until Congress changes immigration practices the current practices stand.

You are correct. There doesn't have to be a criminal conviction. Except we were told they are only going after the worst of the worst. We the people aren't going to tolerate ICE and Border Patrol occupying our neighborhoods to round up people whose only crime was unlawful entry.
One issue is whether a signed order of removal with an.administrative order is sufficient to make an arrest.

AI Summary
Based on recent 2026 reports, ICE agents may attempt to enter homes without a judicial warrant if they possess a final order of removal from an immigration judge and a signed administrative warrant (Form I-200), particularly after knocking and being refused entry. While traditionally a judicial warrant was required, recent memos suggest a shift allowing agents to use administrative warrants for home entry.
*Key points regarding this situation include:
*Administrative vs. Judicial Warrants: ICE uses administrative warrants (signed by an ICE supervisor) rather than judicial warrants (signed by a judge or magistrate) to authorize arrests.
*Policy Shift: A January 2026 memo indicated that ICE agents are authorized to force entry into a home if they have a final order of removal and an administrative warrant, following a "knock and announce" procedure.
*Constitutional Concerns: This practice is considered controversial by legal experts, with some arguing that entering a home without a judicial warrant violates the U.S. Constitution, despite the internal ICE authorization.
*Your Rights: While ICE asserts authority to enter with administrative warrants, individuals generally have the right to keep their door closed and ask to see a warrant signed by a judge.

Minnesota law enforcement could just cooperate with federal law enforcement instead of hiding behind the 'we're not going to enforce immigration law' argument when cooperating would allow immigration enforcement to enforce immigration law. Couldn't they ?
Other jurisdictions appear to be quite capable of cooperating without baselessly falling back on the 'it's not our job' excuse.
There are Minnesota jurisdictions outside of the Twin Cities that actually support ICE operations. ICE members are able to go to restaurants, perform their duties, and sleep at night at a hotel without having to listen to the Democrat party street militia band.
Has the Lt Governor of Illinois suggested to people that they 'put your body on the line' ?

Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, primarily by declining to honor "detainers" issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for individuals in local custody. These policies, which began in the 1980s, are designed to enhance public safety by encouraging immigrant communities to report crimes without fear of deportation.
The conflict often hinges on the distinction between administrative warrants (issued by ICE) and judicial warrants (issued by a court), with many sanctuaries only honoring the latter.
ICE Detainers (Form I-247)
*Definition: An ICE detainer, or "ICE hold," is a nonbinding request from ICE to a local law enforcement agency (LEA) to maintain custody of a person—who would otherwise be released—for up to 48 hours to allow ICE to take them into custody.
*Legal Status: Federal courts have frequently found that holding individuals solely on the basis of a detainer is illegal and may violate Fourth Amendment protections against unlawful detention.
*Sanctuary Policy: Most sanctuary policies instruct local agencies to refuse these requests, as they are not legally binding commands, and to refrain from notifying ICE about release dates.
Administrative Warrants (Forms I-200, I-205
"Definition: These are civil immigration warrants signed by an ICE supervisor or agent, not an independent judge or magistrate. They authorize the arrest of a noncitizen for immigration purposes.
*Limitations: Because they are not reviewed by a judicial branch officer, they do not authorize nonconsensual entry into a private residence.
*"Secret" Directive: As of early 2026, a legal challenge arose regarding a previously undisclosed ICE directive suggesting that a "Warrant of Removal/Deportation" (Form I-205) could be used to enter homes without consent, which civil liberties advocates argue conflicts with the Fourth Amendment.
Judicial Warrants
"Definition: A warrant issued by a federal or state judge/magistrate based on a finding of probable cause
*Authority: A judicial warrant authorizes law enforcement to make an arrest, search, or seizure, and must be complied with, including entry into private homes.
*Sanctuary Requirement: Many sanctuary jurisdictions will only cooperate with ICE if they provide a judicial warrant, citing the need for constitutional compliance.
History
*1980s Origins: Sanctuary policies originated in the 1980s when religious organizations provided sanctuary to Central American refugees fleeing civil war, which the Reagan administration classified as "economic migration".
*First Municipalities: San Francisco was the first to adopt a formal "City of Refuge" ordinance (No. 12-h) in 1989, prohibiting the use of city resources for federal immigration enforcement.
*2017–Present: The Trump administration attempted to revoke federal funding for sanctuary cities, resulting in legal battles over the scope of 8 U.S.C. § 1373, which concerns information sharing.
Rationale
*Public Safety & Trust: The primary argument is that when local police act as immigration agents, immigrants stop reporting crimes, making communities less safe.
"Resource Allocation: Local jurisdictions argue that detaining immigrants for civil infractions is a federal responsibility and a waste of local taxpayer money and police resources.
*Constitutional Protection: Supporters argue that complying with ICE requests without a judicial warrant violates the Fourth Amendment rights of residents.
Recent Developments (2025–2026)
*Stricter Detentions: An ICE memo issued around July 2025 instructed Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers that individuals who entered without inspection were generally no longer eligible for bail, aiming for expedited removal.
*Increased Detainers: Some cities, such as Boston, saw a sharp rise in detainer requests (57 in 2025 vs. 15 in 2024), despite local policies to reject them.
*Litigation: Legal challenges are currently addressing whether administrative warrants can be used to enter private homes, with lawsuits arguing they violate the Fourth Amendment.

So they can review the file and go to the person's house.
Except they have a law against that because they want to encourage reporting of crimes without fear that the reporter will be deported. That's the point behind the laws. Like Nichi said.

He’s pointing out new evidence that dietary modification and eating whole foods can be life-changing for people with mental illness. For most people exercise alone is more effective than antidepressant medication for depression. How often do you hear that? You don’t because big Pharma (your buddies) don’t profit from someone going for a run.
It’s not like we just found out yesterday that our diet is killing us in more ways than one. We need all the data and info we can into the hands of the public to do everything they can to eat better and stop this crisis.
Then he goes on to encourage people to eat healthy real foods. Talk about making a mountain out of a fucking molehill. Is there anything you won’t find to bitch about?

Turns out the people in each of the first three camps protect their respective tribe in exactly the same way as the people in the fourth example protect theirs.
It’s probably not inappropriate at this stage to point out that pumping adolescents full of hormones and SSRIs so society can let them be who they want to be may have some lasting repercussions down the road. Last I checked, gender dysphoria is still classified as a mental disorder and should be identified and treated as such. Not celebrated and enabled as to avoid hurting any feelings.

Kalshi gets a tiny cut from each wager. So the more wagers that happen, the more Kalshi makes.
The Trump family, by controlling the White House, can cause the sort of chaos that creates more things to bet on. More money has been bet on the Iran War than on the Super Bowl. Which - that's fucking sad. We can sit here and grouse all we want, but that's just fucking sad and a sign of western decline.

I get sports gambling, but Kalshi shouldn’t be legal IMO. Betting on war is insane.

Buried deep in the morning NYT email about illegal immigrants being scared to file their taxes was a bit of good news that Murph and Co will hate:
Plenty of taxpayers who are in the country legally, though, are starting to benefit from the tax cut that Republicans passed last year, reports Andrew Duehren, who covers tax policy. He spoke with more than three dozen taxpayers about that, up and down the income ladder.
Many told him they had received their largest refund in years, allowing them to pay down debt, save more or cover the cost of a vacation or a new bed. That was true of higher earners especially. “I thought it could be five figures, but it was still a little more, and a welcome surprise,” one told Andrew.

People getting larger refunds is not good news. It underscores the horrible financial literacy of our populace that they celebrate giving the federal government an interest free loan. I make sure I owe money in April.
Sadly for a lot of Americans they are so poor with money it actually works out for the best because if they use having withholding that is too high as a forced savings instead of just well, saving

Gas prices are higher today than when Trump took office. He promised to lower prices. He lied.
The thing here is - I think Kamala - who put out that shit statement - is an idiot, just like you do. We are both right.
You - think Trump - who has broken every campaign promise - is Jesus Christ reborn. I disagree. Only one of us - me - is right.

Maybe Republicans are right. Has the pope even read the Bible? | Opinion
Rex Huppke
USA TODAY
Updated April 15, 2026
Is it just me, or does it seem like Pope Leo XIV won’t stop talking about religion?
He’s all “the Gospel says this” and “Jesus taught us that” – dude, we get it, you’re head of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. But does that really make you an expert?
As our Catholic Vice President JD Vance, who has a book coming out on his conversion to Catholicism, said, “I think it's very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology.”
Exactly. Vance has been a Catholic since 2019, the year Lil Nas X’s "Old Town Road" hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, so I’d take his warning seriously, Pope. He’s seven years deep into the Catholic faith – you don’t wanna mess with him. He’s part of the new Catholicism, the one that’s afraid to say “transubstantiation” because it sounds woke and has “trans” in it.
All this started when Pope Leo took a ridiculous “war is bad” stance and found himself facing off against U.S. figures like Vance, President Donald Trump, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson and even Fox News host Sean Hannity, who recently asked of the leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics: “Have you even read the Bible?”
That’s a great question, Sean. We know President Trump has definitely read the Bible, because he sold ones with his name on them, and I can’t imagine he’d sell a product he can’t 100% guarantee. Does Pope Leo sell a Bible with his name on it? That’s the kind of question the Vatican needs to answer before its leader goes out and opines on whether it’s moral to kill lots of people to distract from a child sex trafficking scandal.

People put 'breaking news' or things like 'new details' on their posts so people click on them and share them. That's how monetization works. Post any stupid shit and somebody will spread it and the original poster may get monetized.
I don't think HQ2 does monetization but if you've found a way to get monetized on HQ2 you can tell us. Lol.
Other than that, maybe keep it to your Tik Tok, X and Blueskyy accounts.

ThePAMan pointed out that the "new details" occured 10 months ago.
As I tried to explain, people put claims like 'breaking news' and 'new details' to get clicks on their posts. The embedded post can be from 10 months ago on local tv but the 'new details' is solely to generate clicks.
I was referring to the post, not the embedded tv report, and the 'new details' worked as designed, you twat.

I’m pretty sure the video being released was “new details” asswipe.
