Fun times for me today. Just listening to coworkers on Zoom hyperventilating over ZOMG MUH COVID SPIKES! Which is par for the course I suppose, this is a health plan I work for, if anybody is going to go full retard over this, its these people.
Now on to the links!
Juan Orlando Hernandez, the President of Honduras, was hospitalized with Coronavirus. Don’t know where Honduras is? Don’t worry about it. Don’t know who that is? Nobody you really need to know, even Mexicans ignore him.
Coming soon to PornHub…Brazilians develop…”Hug Tunnels” that will allow you to hug your relatives through plastic sheeting.
Six American oil executives jailed in Caracas. But don’t worry, Venezuelan law guarantees prisoners have the right to preventative health measures against COVID-19 or any other disease.
Surely, there must be something besides the plague in the news…Colombia delivers!
An interesting opinion piece against birthright citizenship.
A main argument against automatic birthright citizenship is that, the granting country gives up its sovereign right to decide who can become citizen. Birthright citizenship disempowers the existing citizenship.
A just government relies on a social contract freely entered into by free citizens. Thus, the scope and authority of that social contract extends only to those citizens that have agreed to be bound by the provisions of the contract. This is the essence of citizenship. So, as the argument goes, a social contract where anyone can join in defiance of the community of existing members is no social contract at all. Birthright citizenship is inherently self-contradictory.
Here’s some tunes. Have a good afternoon.
“Brazilians develop…”Hug Tunnels” that will allow you to hug your relatives through plastic sheeting.”
But why?

Because Brazilians like to hug a lot and retardation has taken over the world. There’s nothing more to know.
A just government relies on a social contract freely entered into by free citizens.
Stop it. You’re killing me.
It’s almost as sexy as Taxation is Theft.
After recovering from snickering over that line, let’s poke at the author’s premise. By it, even if the person born and raised in the US wants to enter a social contract with that society, the government could say “no”.
They couldn’t say no to anyone protected by the post Civil War amendments. But how about barring citizenship for people below a certain income level. Or for not speaking the language. Or even for Wrongthink or a low Social Credit score?
I’m torn on birthright citizenship, but acting like a free social contract exists is oversimplified.
acting like a free social contract exists is oversimplified
I would have gone with “fallacious”. Maybe “delusional”.
Or for not speaking the language. Or even for Wrongthink or a low Social Credit score?
And how many stripes and degrees of that is there? Who determines where the dividing line between US English and other languages are? That’s right, government. And once the principles are established it’s so easy to shift the goalposts over time.

“Black man, 50, who died in custody after being stopped for cycling without a safety light told cops ‘I can’t breathe’ at least 17 TIMES – as family still seeks answers nine months later”

Cycling without a safety light? That’s like being gunned down for wearing white after Labor Day.

Not only are infections increasing, but the proportion of positives to overall tests is rising. It couldn’t be that they are testing known susceptible groups, could it? They’d tell us, wouldn’t they, Shirley?
Bullshit or it would be all over the news.
I read a similar NYT article. It criticizes Pence for not giving full context because positive test rates are increasing in some areas. Of course the NYT always gives the full context, especially when reporting on the Administration. The article also had a lot of mind reading.

a social contract freely entered into by free citizens
Oh, yes. Seems like it was just yesterday that I signed the contract. What a wonderful day that was.
Judge Napolitano has a more nuanced reaction to the DACA ruling.
So Trump could order the Administration go through all the bullshit hoops and do it all over again.
That won’t be done until He’s lost the election in November.
Did the formation of the DACA that was not the non-enforcment policy go through APA?
He was revoking a prior EO, right? Lousy decision, and it will only be applied selectively.
Isn’t that the beauty of law? there’s no case so similar that you cant come up with a reason why “this time is different”, so that you can get the “right” decision, every-time.
Has the APA ever been applied to an executive order before?
Congress and the courts are excluded, so I think there’s an argument that it applies to the President and not just executive branch agencies.
Does that include executive orders? Arguably. Of course, let’s just go straight past the myriad pronouncements of government agencies that are “of general or particular applicability and future effect designed to implement, interpret, or prescribe law or policy” that don’t go through the APA process. CMS has massive manuals, thousands of pages, that meet that definition, and none of them have gone through the APA “notice and comment” process.
But I note that no executive order ever goes through the APA “notice and comment” process. And many (most?) of them meet that broad definition of “rule”.
In this case, an agency wallah actually wrote the implementation of the executive order, so the issue of whether it applies to executive orders isn’t really at issue. Of course, the original DACA order was also implemented via a memorandum from the DHS Secretary. It didn’t go through the APA process, as far as I know, so why isn’t it void ab initio?
But the question of why the President can issue edicts which meet the definition of a “rule” without going through the APA process is one I’d like to see answered.
One other thought:
Reading that definition of “rule”, I’m not sure it actually would apply to revoking an existing regulation in its entirety.
There’s probably a decision, most likely from an enviro case, that repealing is a form of rule making.
Except that as the Kavanaugh dissent pointed out, they ignored the memo where the administration *did* do it all over again and are basically requesting a repeat of said memo. It is nuts.

I think someone doesnt understand what America is vs the rest of the world.
America is a racist, ignorant, backwater that denies people access to healthcare (government goons lie down on sidewalks to impede access), poisons Gaia, and worships Kardashians. You are more likely to be shot than to reach the age of 30.
At least, that’s what I’d think if I only read foreign papers reporting on America.
Yeah, listening to Europeans bitch about America is always gets my hackles up.

@RebelScum – WRT Brave/Pale Moon (from morning thread) I like PaleMoon a lot. It is a fork of the old firefox codebase, with nice privacy features. When it works, it’s great, but it occasionally will fail to render a website properly, has a much more limited set of add-ons than FF or Chrome (it’s incompatible with current FF extensions), and – the biggie – no Greasemonkey. So I use Brave in this den of thieves, and mostly PaleMoon elsewhere.

I want a deet mister for outdoor use. Fucking bugs.
DEET is fine for your skin. I dont know if inhaling it is a good idea.
I have one of these: https://www.nixalite.com/products/propane-foggers?msclkid=11e102a75cd012878d985c4c8f53fb7a&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Dynamic%20Search%202020%20CAG&utm_term=nixalite&utm_content=All%20Products
It is very effective. Get one at any Lowe’s or Home Depot.
Ooooooh didn’t know about this. Thanks!
If we are going to bbq or sit and watch stars I will go around the yard and fog all of the bushes, under the porch etc then make a line of fog upwind of the yard and let it drift over the grassy part.
It really cuts down on mosquitoes. Double up with DEET on your skin and clothes and you won’t get a single mosquito bit or a gnat stuck in your eye.
Do you use an insecticide with it like it says in the link or just run it for the propane exhaust?
I use the oil based ones with cypermethrin or/and tetramethrin. It kills the hell out of them.
The gnats are really bad here in Illinois.
Our gnats arent nearly as bad as yours. We have few biting gnats but plenty of pestering ones trying to get the salt out of your tears. When they are really bad in the spring you can end up with half of a dozen stuck underneath your eyelids. I keep some saline wash around.
We will have a dozen or so mosquito species active at any given time, some much worse than others.
I dont know their names but there is a big, black squishy one that congregates around cattle wallows in the fall. They are unbelievable. One or two hundred will come at you at once and they dont even try to dodge swats, they go right to your skin in a kamikaze attack. No matter how. you try they eat your ass up.
Early to mid-summer there is a teeny tiny mosquito that you barely notice. They are silent and bite without any sensation at all. Then it sneaks away. After a minute or so you will start swelling and itching like mad. It makes a hell of a welt. It probably sticks it’s nose up a rat’s ass or something before it injects that into your skin. The tiniest mosquito;uito gives the worst bite.
I cant tell you how much I love using that fogger knowing I am committing mosquito genocide.
The tiger striped mosquitoes are mean too.
Higher woodlands here are full of them. Of course they come out just as hunting season starts and stay until the first frost.
In a bad year, with zero precautions, I will get three mosquito bites.

Next wave
The number of people sickened with Covid-19 across Texas’ hospitals hit a new high Wednesday, surging about 11% in a single day.
There are 2,793 patients hospitalized with a coronavirus infection in the state, up from 2,518 patients reported Tuesday, according to updated data from the Texas Department of State Health Services. The total Wednesday marks the eighth new high in the state in less than two weeks. Texas coronavirus hospitalizations are now up more than 84% since Memorial Day as the state continues to reopen.
——-
Coronavirus hospitalizations, like new cases and deaths, are considered a key measure of the outbreak because it helps scientists gauge how severe it may be. In recent weeks, some state and federal leaders have downplayed a recent rise in cases and hospitalizations across the U.S., tying it to an increase in testing.
Now tell me how many of those hospitalizations and deaths are exclusively attributable to the virus. Because an 80 year old woman with emphysema who died while positive for the virus belongs in a different column than a thirty year old otherwise healthy woman who got the virus and suddenly died of pneumonia.
Oooh, a jump of 275 people reported to be sick (not dead) … in a state with 29 million people. That’s about 1 out of every 100,000 people. Somewhat more than the 100 people who move to Austin every single day.

Somebody hates trees
“Several nooses found on trees around Lake Merritt were removed and will be investigated as hate crimes,” Schaaf said in a statement, “Symbols of racial violence have no place in Oakland and will not be tolerated.”
Oh, the humanity!
Riiiight… because all of those white supremacists in Oakland were just itching to plant nooses in trees. Someone wanted more attention.
I was accused of being racist in Oakland back in the mid-90s. I was with friends at a Spaghetti Factory and we ran out of butter. They served it in two bowls: white for regular butter and dark blue for garlic butter. In the dimly lit room we thought the bowls were black and white, and asked for more of the butter in the black bowl. The next thing we know the manager is asking us to pay our bill and take our racist asses elsewhere.
My (black and from Peru) stepmother was accused of being racist my black co-workers from here because she hung her coat on one of those white, plastic coat hangers in her locker at work.
After having lived here for 30 years she has developed a burning hatred for most American born blacks because of shit like that.
I read that twice and still don’t understand their logic.
Wut?
A) Expressing opinions is protected. Can you show that these fall into the exception of threats?
B) If you see a noose hanging in a tree in some kind of mouth-breathing attempt at ‘racism!’ it is a false flag. If they find the BLM folks responsible are they going to prosecute them?
If you see the picture of the “nooses”, they’re just the ropes used for TRX workouts, just two ropes with little triangular handles on the ends. Seriously.

Early Data Show No Uptick in Covid-19 Transmission From Protests

Arent they simultaneously screeching about a second wave?
Of course.
Well, if your forbidden from asking if the person went to a protest, you won’t find any evidence that the protests spread the virus.
Here’s a good litmus test for whether or not the person you’re talking to is awake (as opposed to woke) or redpilled. Ask them what is different from an epidemiological standpoint between a large crowd of densely-packed people shouting all day at police and a large crowd of people in a stadium shouting at athletes or a large crowd of people in a field shouting at a stage.

Americans are not happy. Just 14% say they’re very happy, according to a poll from NORC at the University of Chicago. That’s lowest since at least 1972.
Why? It’s at least partially because they believe something is wrong with their country. That’s the key takeaway from the polling that has come out since the beginning of the anti-racist protests in late May.
I’m not merely talking about voters’ reflexive partisan responses (e.g. Democrats dislike President Donald Trump). Nor am I talking about specific questions relating to views about race or the ongoing protests.
I’m talking about something bigger than any of that.
Start with the fact that a mere 21% of Americans think that the country is going in the right direction, according to the latest Monmouth University poll. The vast majority, 74%, said American was on the wrong track. A majority of Americans usually believe the country is on the wrong track, but it’s rarely this bad.
Meaningless noise.
If you ask 100 of those people why, specifically, they feel that way, you’ll get at least 100 different answers.
Let me guess…the only way out of this misery. is to destroy capitalism.
What do I win?
Personally, I’m pretty happy, but I also think something is going terribly wrong because so many people have lost their damn minds.
I have similar feelings. One question; is the number of insane people really that large, or is it artificially inflated by the media, social and otherwise?
I’m guessing it’s both, and one reinforces the other. When I listen to my coworkers, people who are otherwise mostly sane, talk about the virus I can only shake my head about how they’ve been taken in by the panic.
Can’t leave the house, can’t see your parents, no sports, gotta wear a useless mask everywhere you go, gyms closed for months, bars still closed, riots all over the city complete with curfews…

That case is much more cut and dry than the Brooks case.
Yeah but that’s why they have to fight it. You can throw the cop under the bus when its an unplanned encounter. When its a no knock raid, that means that actual important people signed orders to conduct it.
This reminds me of the Kathryn Johnston case, if any of you remember that.
Happened in Atlanta in 2007. Cops on a no knock raid break in on a scared 90 year old woman, who greeted them with a gun. Cops shot her dead. Good shoot, until they figured out that the cops had been lying about the existence of a confidential informant telling them that drugs were being sold out of the house. Cops got some jail time, but they’re all out now.
Similar here. Cops on a no-knock raid, had no evidence that it was the correct house, person defended themselves, cops shot and killed. But … they’re cops, and cops still have that privilege that the rest of us dont.
Cato did a good interview with Balko on it: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cato-daily-podcast/id158961219?i=1000477818210
He suggests the warrant was probably illegal because the judge said she issued based on a phone conversation with one of the cops.
Gawd, that one was heartbreaking
Taylor was sleeping in a back room and was killed. The boyfriend who opened fire survived.
I assume the claim will be that the boyfriend fired first and therefore the cops were defending themselves.
Yeah what I am saying is, since there are police captains and judges with their signatures on documents, now they will all close ranks.
If they had been arresting her boyfriend and shot her by accident, they would have thrown the cops under the bus. But since actual important people are on the hook, they will circle the wagons.
Which, hey, I fucking hate cops. But there is a huge difference between a fluid encounter that goes wrong and a planned raid. The raid falls on the judge for signing off on it, and whoever the raid commander is for fucking up and getting the wrong house.
Yeah, wasn’t disagreeing, just adding more info.
This. Defending oneself when shit goes sideways, Im more lenient. Ginning up the most adversarial encounter possible, and fucking people up because you want to treat some crackhead like an ISIS warlord? They can all rot for all I care.

The DACA decision is correct on the law. They didn’t say that he couldn’t overturn DACA. Fuck, the decision tells him exactly how to do it. He could do it again tomorrow if he wants. It’s just that there are rules and procedures for this kind of thing, and Trump and the people around him are so fucking stupid that they can’t be bothered to follow the very basic procedures.
I find it absurd that refusing to execute the law as written has fewer legal impediments than complying.
Obama din’t follow those procedures to create DACA did he? The APA procedures, right?
AFAIK, he eventually fixed that. Which is all Trump has to do here.
So the Court allowed DACA to go into effect despite not passing APA?
As far as I can tell yes.
Which would tell me anything that ends it would’ve been ok.
I keep hearing that Obama didn’t follow the rules when EOing DACA. Didn’t someone go to court then to demand the “rules and procedures” be followed?
They probably didn’t have standing. It’s a heck of a legal trick.
Still, we’re talking about more than 20 million adults who are not at all proud. That’s not an insignificant number, and it’s grown a lot in a short period.
The question is whether there’s anything that will stop Americans from being so upset about where their country is going. Hopefully, something will change.

I told him he could have the day off if he would streak his lily white ass in Richmond as a form of protest. Because that would make it worth it for me.
Mr. Mojeaux’s company told them they might want to take tomorrow off and if they didn’t, they should take a few minutes throughout the day to reflect on Juneteenth and its significance.
I told him if he didn’t take it off, he’d be on a list.
He’s a white, hopefully heterosexual Mormon. He is already on that list.

The Goys Are Back in Town?
MA man charged for car registration and voting fraud in NH
A Massachusetts business owner registered dozens of his vehicles in New Hampshire to dodge Massachusetts’ higher registration fees and taxes, resulting in 70 charges against him, police say.
“It’s been going on for a while,” Atkinson Police Chief Timothy Crowley said Wednesday.
He said the discrepancy was first identified by Atkinson’s town clerk after Coleman P. McDonough of Newburyport, Mass., registered two vehicles back-to-back.
When investigators checked the single-family residence McDonough listed as an address, they found a person who has lived there since 2006 who knew nothing of McDonough.
“As far as we know, he’s never lived there,” Crowley said.
He said most of the vehicles McDonough registered were for his company, CP Construction, which police believe is based in North Reading, Mass.
The charges McDonough faces include 16 counts of title fraud, a Class B felony; 25 counts of unsworn falsification; 25 counts of tampering with public records; one count of false swearing; and driving after suspension, all misdemeanors.
Crowley said McDonough, 65, also voted in a New Hampshire election at least once, in 2012. Police charged him with a misdemeanor for registering and a felony for voting.
Just Move to my, my man.
NH*
Fuckin phone
Arent they shooting people at the border now? Or is just people with NY plates?
It’s mostly the CT and ny plates that get looked at near me.
Louisiana was hit hard.
Texas Troopers were stopping every LA plate and ordering 14 day quarantines. I am not sure how that is supposed to work but I didnt bother going over there to find out. I am not sure what they thought they were accomplishing, Houston and Dallas are national and international hubs. Texas was always going to end up where they are now.
Rhode Island was officially hassling people with NY plates.
NH asked, but did not mandate, out-of-staters quarantine for 14 days. There were a myriad of exemptions to this “asking”. On the other hand, I saw some reports on the NH subreddit (yeah, yeah, I know, take it with a grain of salt) about folks letting the air out of tires of cars with out-of-state-plates. I also saw lots of people on the NH subreddit bitching about out-of-staters coming to NH during the Lil Rona Panic.
Maine required anyone, whether from Maine or not, entering Maine to quarantine for 14 days except for people on “essential business”. Now, NH and VT residents are exempt. Before the exemption for NH residents I made two trips to Maine. I ignored the quarantine order both times. Nothing else happened.
Hawaii is actively deporting tourists who do not self quarantine is what I hear. Another power a state had that I was unaware of.
Talk about a way to fuck that state over. Tourism is the biggest industry.
Slightly unconstitutional as well but I guess that ship has sailed.
Yep. People who I trust are saying it will take 7-10 years to get tourism back once they lift the bullshit. And right now the gov won’t commit to an opening date because there is no vaccine.
This state is fucked.

The Constitution gives the fedgov the power for naturalization. Does it for immigration in general?
And can someone help me with what the long term plan was for deferred action? Doesn’t that inherently mean it has an end?
I have a Maß full of this delicious Sunday River Brewing beer. I am out of Sunday River Brewing beer. I will make a run up this weekend to get more. The owner is an American hero. He fought Gauleiterin Mills and won.
Good Lord I am tired. I can hardly lift my arms. I have been on the wagon for a week or so and that seriously disrupts my sleep. I haven’t had a wink in 48 hours.
I was trying to write a bit for an article and all my exhausted brain can come up with is gibberish.
I think I better get out of here and try taking an ambien.
Melatonin works great for me.
Name brand Benadryl, not the generic.
Take two and we’ll talk to you sometime tomorrow evening.
Advil PM. Two of those and I’m out in about a half an hour and gone for 8.
That has Benadryl in it. That’s why it works.
Melatonin will make me stay up all night, Benadryl works though.
The best thing for sleep for me is don’t drink any alcohol.
Yeah, I don’t think Bill Cosby mixed it with alcohol either.
Heroin. A couple milligrams of that and you’ll be out like a light.
But you wont shit for a couple days.
Taco Bell waves hi.
It only affects me for a couple of days and then I will sleep like a baby. What really disrupts your sleep, is alcohol.
Babydoom is ambivalent about sweet potatoes, but seems to like bananas.
My kitchen is a lot messier now.
My kids, I mean back in the stone age, would always make the most god awful baby face if you would give them those peas or sweet potato baby food in the jar, and then spit it out.
I still hate sweet potatoes to this day, my parents must have made me eat that god awful shite. I like peas though, but not made into pudding.
Canned and/or mushy peas are an abomination, and an affront against the natural order of things.
We’re not doing the jar stuff thank heck.
Smart cookie.

Birthright citizenship is linked to the state system, i.e. the link between the state and territorial boundaries. So, you’re an American because you’re born in America, and because America is run by the U.S. government from border to border (and nobody else) you’re subject to U.S. laws and receive U.S. citizenship. Eliminate that link, and birthright citizenship goes away.
Racist!
The news on Google is hitting hard on coronavirus spike. I really have a hard time thinking this has anything to do with actual concern and concern about the Trump rally.
I’m now 100% convinced it’s all about politics, and nothing else.
I don’t see then stopping the rallies at this point. Needz moar systemic racism.
I still don’t understand how the rona knows to only spread when Republicans gather in large groups.
Those little projections on the ball form of the virus? Those are racism detectors.
Everything is political now.

Tucker starts with another great monolouge.
I’ve really grown to like him. I had this thought of him as a bow tie wearing conservative but when i catch him lately i like what he says. Just sensible and fairly even handed
He is very good when he is responding to the hard left, but he gets pretty bad when the issue is SoCon wish lists. Right now the left is absolutely the big problem so he is good.
There are many of that flavor out there. My biggest grins had these days when I listen to the hate radio is that the Con Upper Crust’s have finally realized John Bolton is a piece of shit.
Yeah you nailed it
He’s terrible on The War On Drugs but he nails the Left right in the nards over most of their pet issues. I like his stance on immigration and that makes me persona non grata to a few on these boards, including at least one of the Founders.

Oxford, MA officials shut off power and water to gym which opened in defiance of Gauleiter’s orders
The water and power supply to Prime Fitness in Oxford has been cut off after owner Dave Blondin repeatedly defied state orders to shutter during the coronavirus pandemic, WBZ reported.
Mark Reich, a lawyer for the town of Oxford, confirmed the shut off in an email to WBZ Thursday morning, the station reported.
A judge ordered Prime Fitness gym in Oxford to shut down after finding the owner, Blondin, violated the state’s restrictions ordering fitness centers to remain closed to prevent the spread of the coronavirus as other businesses gradually get the green light to reopen, according to court records.
You know what other Reich used the power of the State to enforce conformity with the leader’s decrees?
Robert?
You know who’s drunk? My gf. I had to tell her to use her inside voice.
She’s on a rant on her phone. 35+ minutes so far.
I’m trying to catch up on intoxicated level.
I had two Smithwick’s at the Irish pub with dinner (I sat at the bar! YAY! had to wear a mask to walk in and out though). I am nursing a Maß of porter.
35+ minutes so far.
Impressive
She’s still going and has taken it outside. Did I mention her Irish heritage?
?
Ah.
Msy the wind be always at her back.
Be grateful she has someone to argue with. Mine always gets worse on the way home when it’s just me.
How does she have time to drink?
NJ school teacher (non union).
I meant during a 35 minute phone rant.
Sean is feeding her drinks.
My half assed part time gf is a NJ public school teacher and I was shocked the first time I saw how big her paycheck was. “Is this for a month?”
My kingdom for a half assed part time gf with a big paycheck. You won the lottery!
Haven’t seen her since the lockdown. It sucks. We’re both in states with Fascist Governors
You get a big ass full time gf who takes half your paycheck and like it!
Aaaaah, I see you have perused the dating apps using my zip code.
I’m outside of a dive bar drinking with the older brothers. We’re all kumbaya it’s kind of funny/cool. All agreeing that the current nonsense going on is stupid. It’s about white liberals signaling how woke they are and the brothers are mocking them.
Makes me feel a little better about humanity
Good to hear that this is the way things are going in the US – at least in your area.
A little while back I was at a PX on one of the local US bases here and had a long conversation with another military retiree – black guy in this case – and we covered a lot of different topics including race relations in the US. It’s a little different in this case as we both spent at least a couple decades in uniform so it’s given that we had to have gotten over any racial bigotry (if either of us had any to start with) in working with people of all races often in close quarters.
I guess that’s one factor to explain why I generally feel more comfortable around veterans – in most cases colorblindness is a given.
I grew up in a Brooklyn neighborhood that was as diverse as you could imagine. Plus I’m half PR and half Jewish so I experienced both sides of those families.
I never noticed racial differences until I hit high school. All of a sudden, like a switch, shit changed. I’d go on a bus and go to the back and the blacks would fuck with me. Things like telling me to give them my seat or trying to take my shoes. I don’t want to make this post too long so I’ll stop now but it was ugly
Juan Epstein, is that you?!

I grew up in a Rust Belt “inner city”. Shrimpy white kid. I’ve heard it all. And I’ve about had enough from collectivist assholes who think they know me.
I’m done with it. Just wish I had fuck you money
I had an interview board a couple years after for a gov job in a white bread town and one of the questions was about working with people of different races and such. Took me a half moment. Felt like saying “you see my app in front of me where it’s says infantryman? I had to work with anyone. Skin color was as irrelevant as how someone laced their boots.”
The reality is that you are a racist if you don’t look at people as part of a race. It’s frustrating to a degree that I almost feel like I’m insane
Yeah, it’s funny how some people seem to think the US military still has the same ethnic makeup as “Band of Brothers”.
All notoriously racist countries. (I typed that as a joke but it might be true)
Bullshit. A natural born citizen is one who does not have to go through a naturalization process such as an immigrant. The 14th amendment trying to overcome the hideous wrong of slavery did not grant any kid spit out the loins of whomever made by whomever’s the right to citizenship. If there is one fucking thing that should be canceled in these trying times of covid and cancelling it is Dredd Scott and anyfucking thing related to it. That would require moving on and apparently that is off the table.
You want a kid to be a citizen of a certain country? Do the wild thing with a person of that country and make a baby.

Are you serious UCS? My laptop has an SSD an boots in about 10 seconds. My desktop doesn’t. It takes 1-2 minutes.
100%, I timed it several times because I wanted to be sure it wasn’t just impatience.
My new build doesn’t even have an SSD (SSD/Platter hybrid with something like 8GB flash and 2TB platter) and Windows 10 loads faster than that.
Holy fuck Windows 10 is killing me. 2 minutes to open up a Word doc, among other things. Fuckers!

Yanno, it’s one thing to be all about bread and circuses while the country not-so-quietly smoulders, but it’s another thing to take away the bread AND circuses, shit people up in their houses, take away their jobs, let shit go up in flames, and still expect people not to get pissy.
I always think a breaking point is coming but shit just keeps getting more ridiculous
I’m at a breaking point. I’m tempted to sell everything I own, walk away from my job and buy some property in the middle of nowhere and stare at the wall until the world burns down.
I don’t understand why anyone in a position to that won’t.
It’s over. If you have the means to cash out and buy a ranch in Montana or move to Switzerland wtf are you waiting for.

No disrespect but eat me
I’m surprised there hasn’t been anyone saying “fuck it, if I’m going out, I’m taking some of these bastard with me”.
What’s going on now scares the shit out of me. I think the genie is out of the bottle but the only question is how far out right now. I don’t see how this can be put back to a previous stage.
The fires went out in 92, I’m sure they’ll go out again. I’m more pissed about every corporation dropping trough and bending over. Where the fuck were they with Kelly Thomas, Tony timpa, and Daniel shaver? But the police only kill minorities for sport and if you post these examples it’s just your white frailty, never mind the point isn’t that it’s okay what happened to Floyd, the point is the police aren’t held accountable and instead of making it racial it should be about real reform.
Bigot
It’s the double standards – looters aren’t prosecuted but regular guys who try to protect their property or refuse to genuflect to the commies get slammed. One of them is going ambush a politician or prosecutor.
That’s what I’m afraid of.
“I’m surprised there hasn’t been anyone saying “fuck it, if I’m going out, I’m taking some of these bastard with me”
That’s coming soon if there’s no way to end the hard left’s complete control of education and the media.
I remember my grandmother always saying stuff like this:

Shit. My grandmother would say callate and then have me rip off a branch to beat me with
The critical mass isn’t there yet and may never be. The stabilizing factor is “i hve a good thing going, why would I give it up? ”
Either the good thing has to go away (economy gets much worse) or the reason for giving it up needs to threaten normal people’s way of life. Woke on parade isn’t there yet. Hell, its hard to tell how many people are actually sick of it and how many are eating it up.
“the reason for giving it up needs to threaten normal people’s way of life”
They’ve already done that and are winning, and they show no sign of giving up. I’m sorry to say it, but them giving up and letting people go back to normal life is not going to happen without extreme blow back and probably a lot of violence.
The thought police are here and they’re in charge.
Thats the thing… Is there a critical mass to even fight back? Doctrinaire conservatives are pissed, but they’re not really doing much except tsk, tsking from the sideline. Libertarians can’t garner enough cultural force to do anything. Moderates, never trumpers, and establishment Republicans seem to be all in with the left on this shit.
Culturally, we lost. The only question is what happens when it becomes clear that we’re not ever regaining the ground we lost.
Knuckle under and say there are 4 or 5 lights, whichever it takes.
The rallying cry of the liberty lovers
They’ll increase your gin ration from a pint per day to a half pint per day for that kind of cooperation.
Conservatives are either collaborators or wusses and getting libertarians to act is like trying to herd methed out cats and, let’s face it, there aren’t many of us. We’re screwed.
Unfortunately, we are close to a critical mass of government tit-suckers on both sides.

I just marvel that people can’t even fathom that someone does not agree with them. Like the minimum wage. Of my 9 employees, 2 earn more than $15/hr. I don’t have a bottomless pit of money that I can just magically pay more people out of.
One of my favorites is the new one, “If the economy was so good, why can’t these businesses survive three months of downtime?” Really? My shop wouldn’t have made it two weeks without earning money. I took about 4 day vacations three times a year and had to work overtime to compensate and that was before the great recession. Three months and I’d have had to close after one. Retards.
There was a sports reporter in the UK who declared that if a football club could not survive two months without income, then the club was not very well run.
And he was talking about semi-pro clubs without TV games.
How many of those saying it could survive with no paycheck for three months either?

The window AC I used for the last 20 years died yesterday. Had to break down and buy a new unit. If I’m going back on third shift I can’t being trying to sleep in the hot day without AC. Good thing I had some money socked away. Can’t fit a window unit in my bedroom anymore since I replaced the window, so had to buy one of those ‘portable’ units. $300 just to not be hot while I sleep. It’s kind of cool if it works though, has a thermostat on the remote, so I can put that in the living room to keep it cool and keep my room extra chilled.

If they are coming hard for The Federalist as a “far right” site that promotes hate, then any site they don’t like is fair game. I’m just still hoping that this power grab that the left has taken over the past months gets big pushback and a pendulum swing. At this point they are basically using all their power to swing an election and push through a bunch of terrible policy, they couldn’t bide their time and continue the slow takeover.

TLDW, Google might be legally viewed as a publisher not a platform.
Thanks! Very interesting indeed. It’s nice to see some pushback against one of the 2000-lb. gorillas of the Internet. I suppose the True Libertarian® position would be that Google can do what it pleases, but if so, they should accept the potential liability for doing so. They’re trying to have it both ways.
Google aren’t just a private enterprise – there is an overwhelmingly strong case to support the fact that they are a hugely powerful part of large progressive establishment that spans government, media, NGOs, and corporations such as themselves. Maybe it’s not True Libertarian(R) to cheer on using the power of the FCC to curtail Google’s crushing of dissent, but the True Libertarian(R) is an absolutist strawman anyway.
At least The Federalist has gained some free publicity out of this. I hardly ever check it any more. I remember a good piece by Liz Wolfe talking about the “ideological turing test”, which she framed in terms of the abortion debate (hence it appearing there rather than Reason?). Anyway that’s beside the point I s’pose – just one piece that stuck with me.

Sorry, the tune is “Stupid Things”. I am a stupid thing. Also, how did I never know about Shriekback? I had tons of musician friends back in the 80’s and they were all Eno fans. I guess he had so many fingers in so many pies back then that some of those gems just slipped through the floorboards. Maybe my fixation on Zappa and Beefheart and the Dregs and Gabriel kinda blinded me to some other stuff. It was a different world back then. Just fanzines, word of mouth and whatever the cool older brothers and sisters were playing. I missed so much cool stuff.
This one has some wicked delay on the geetar pickin’, and some cool, smokey smooth vox.
Right? She’s a huge Nick Cave fan, too. Her radio show is eclectic. *fanboi squee*
