Good calls both, but the Best is T’pal, OMG better than 7 of 9, (7 of 9, yeah right)
Yeah. But you could blame 7 of 9 for Obama.
No. When it comes to Star Trek, the only correct answer is Yvonne Craig.

^ Check out Mr Moves here.
@Brooks: I’m so sorry to hear about your situation and grief. I do understand; sadly—from the other direction. I am always sorry about “doing this” for me to my family and Lady and others.
I am in Indy but I don’t have my first doctor’s visit here (another EEG–which are actually kind of fun and relaxing, but no one is going to like the results) on Tuesday.
My family, or at least my brother, has pretty much isolated me completely and doctors simply keep changing meds and dosages and my body and brain can’t keep up with all the changes.
Your post hit me hard, but from the opposite way. I feel like I’m doing to my people what is being done to you. No one likes to be on either side. It’s a hellish feeling. I wish you the best, and hope that everything works out as best as it can. Be strong, not just for them but for yourself. It’s a tight corner to be forced into. You have all of my wishes and hope.
I’m going to stop typing because I’m now crying. Be the best you can. I’m the “soldier” and my Lady is my nurse. Both people love and need each other. And now we are so far apart. We still rely on each other. That’s a mixture of sadness and happiness that people can be so kind. Thank you for what you’re doing and who you are. Even if you can’t be there, it never goes unnoticed. And appreciated. And necessary.
Sorry that I keep typing. It made me emotional. Be as well as you can. Love goes out both ways.
Evan, we all have things to work through, You take care of you, it’s been a rough ride so far, relax and get better,
God Bless You
That’s a mixture of sadness and happiness that people can be so kind.
I won’t say that’s all there is, but life without it is not worth living.
I’m glad to hear your lady joined you on the trip back here (unless I’m really misreading things). The isolation and avoiding others I think is what’s hurting people the most. Hope to meet up with you at some point.
Lady is still in Korea. She is to be deported for being hired illegally…but South Africa and South Korea aren’t great friends. They don’t let flights go between each other. So she is stuck. Illegally in exile. That’s pretty fucking rough.
So she looks out for me from 12,000 miles away.
I’d love to meet. I’m in central Indy but without a car or even a bike. I’m lucid but no one trusts me for silly (IMO) reasons. Thanks, bro, for thinking I have an illness that will spread to everyone and being so stupidly obsessed with Covid.
But I have my own place now. Watching documentaries and reading. Hoping for the best. I want to go back to my ex-pat family and friends (and Lady) as soon as I can. This country has shocked me with how it’s been altered recently. Korea makes much more sense. Having said that, I’ve spent 6+ years there.
Sorry to hear your lady’s not with you man.
What’s the time frame when you’re out of isolation? I’ve got both cars and bikes, and a large amount of vacation time to burn.
I’ve done my two weeks of quarantine! So really just no job (Like I’m ready or planning on teaching in America) and all of my friends live abroad. I’ve never been an adult (well, post 22-years old) in the States.
It would be profoundly interesting and liberating to meet with some folk. Timing is weird because of meds and my family insisting that I get everything checked out over and over. It’s hard to get your brain in balance that way. They don’t seem to realize that.
But i’d love some companionship!
How you looking for the weekend of the 4th of July?
If they’re custom building the drone plane, I don’t think the pilot has a chance. A lot of the design considerations and limitations on performance are to keep the pilot from losing consciousness. It’s not like the AI has any business getting into a dogfight with the human.
Hell, were I designing an AI “drone”, I’d essentially upsize an air-to-air missile, swap out the rocket motor for a turbine, and cram a supercomputer inside. Probably 1/10th the cost of whatever they put together, and just as effective.
even with equal tech, the drone reacts faster, and according to Boyd, will out OODA the human, every time,
I don’t even think you need AI for it. Leave it RC, and you don’t need to worry about any pilot.
I can fly that plane (RC plane that is)
a lot of drone missiles are already run turbines, especially those by Turbomeca in Grand Prairie
Don Escaped a Missile Factory?
I’ve avoided military contracting for the most part. Not interested even a little.
I was thinking about you earlier after last night’s Zoom
‘Don Makes Shit Cold’
I just finished reading a mystery novel where it turned out the way a victim was killed was via a top secret government drone, which housed a precision long rifle which could accurately fire .416 boat tail ammo on a target from 600 yards away while hovering in the air, using video controls a thousand miles from the site. About how much BS was this?
none at all, that’s pretty straightforward, I could manage it with my RC stuff and a few Arduinos,
/No, i haven’t thought about it, really
A few years back a fellow rigged a 9mm pistol to an RC helicopter and was flying it around shooting things. He made the mistake of posting video on Youtooobz and the feds went after him. I am not sure what they charged him with but they sure went after him.
None at all.
I dont know if it is still around but a fellow used to have an interactive web site with cameras where you could control his rifle via your computer and shoot at targets. As for the 600 yard range with a (I assume a 416 Remington Magnum) it is very possible.
My gunsmith used to compete using 50BMG on a rail gun. Their competitions were at 3000 yards with a 12in bullseye.
Then there is this: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/03/bullseye-from-1000-yards-shooting-the-17000-linux-powered-rifle/
I once hit a big screen TV with a 7mm Remington Magnum at 1000 yards and it totally wasn’t luck. That is my story and I am sticking with it.
Railguns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4idDEwnLFQ
Not .416 Barrett?
I don’t think anyone made .416 Rigby or .416 Remington Magnum boattail spitzer cartridges, because they were for dangerous game, and neither were military.
I can’t remember who all make 416 caliber rounds. I was never interested as bullet selection is very limited. Why not go with a .458 and have an unlimited selection?
I think Lapua makes one….Ruger…uh…yeah, Barret. I am sure there are more. Maybe some of the older English cartridges.
The Remington is just the first one that came to my mind.
I guess it depends on the size of the drone. Heli-borne snipers are a standard thing, but even an AW109 has three tons of mass to sop up recoil.
Not complete BS, but very close. It’s one of those things that is theoretically possible, but the cumulative error would stack up so fast that it makes the concept worthless.
Hanging a gun on a drone and shooting stuff is easy. 3D station-keeping of sufficient precision to allow a 600-yard first-shot hit from an aerial platform? It can’t be done.
Bullshit, modern drones hang hang with precision, remember, we aren’t hanging a gun, just a Barrel/receiver mechanism,
Wanna bet? I’ll do it, can you?
/Smartass Yusef
600 yards, first shot hit on a stationary 10″ target from an aerial platform? I’ve got a fifth of top-shelf booze that says you can’t do it once in five chances.
+1 /westerly gusts to 10 MPH
You maybe could stabilize well enough to hit shot one. There is no way any hobbyist drone is hitting shot 2, I doubt there is a publicly available drone that would still be flying. F=MA, so A=F/M and drones don’t have the M.
Have you seen an M1 Abrams in action?
I know its not aerial, but their ability to move and shoot is impressive. And my knowledge is based on 25 year old tech.
@jarflax
easy, mount 2 identical guns pointing opposite ways on the same axis and fire them simultaneously. :’D

Just bought a Speed Queen washer and dryer based on some old Glib advice. Being delivered and set up Tuesday. Thanks Glibs and a special thank you to DJT for the funds what purchased them.
I remember that advice and when the time comes that is what I am going with also.
I hate my washer. I have to add water with a bucket.
One of these?
https://preparednessadvice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/wash_board_and_tub..jpg
It’s one of those dumbass “high-efficiency” washers with electronic controls. If I try to change a setting after it starts, it dumps out all the water and detergent, and starts over. Thanks, Obama.
Although, I do have a washboard…
Speed Queens are the bomb, we have both a washer and dryer we bought separately over time and replaced finicky Maytags. Love how simple they are to operate with their analog controls, they can handle huge loads and are virtually indestructible. Trust the folks that make machines that stand up to laundromat abuses. You will love them.

Mojeaux is loud and southern (love you hon!), so she can always cut through.

That seems to be the way it is with most groups of 5~10 people. 1 or 2 people talk 50% of the time, another 20% and the remainder divide the 30% among themselves. Get me some beers and a parking lot to sit in and I move into the first group.
You just have to hang around long enough. Don put up with my slurred speaching drunken ass probably far too long last night. I was annoying myself at the end.

*Facepalm*
Just kill me.
I went into the kitchen to see how wife is doing with her cooking. She is cutting up pork chops with my chef’s knife and a SS fork. I heard the edge scrape the fork about four times.
*Begins crying*
I have a Chefs Choice diamond wheel sharpener. It works great. I had some old knives that were totally dull, and got them razor sharp.
I’ve always assumed that Suthen here sharpens knives
with a stone in his sleep, it’s just that he has so many
that putting one into the rotation early throws him
off his game.
I got a Spyderco knife sharpening set. It has two sets of triangular rods that you put in this base, and just slice down with the knife. You start with the rough stone then graduate to the finer one. Made all my kitchen knives literally shaving sharp.
What state exactly is a pork chop in that requires
a chef’s knife to begin with?
I think she might have had a couple of cocktails.
There is a boning knife right next to the chef’s knife in the block.
Your saying you Don’t have an abundance of sharp knives? Heathen!
I have 4 or 5 chef’s knives but none to my liking as well as the one she had. It is perfectly balanced and ground, not stamped. It was cheapish but super good steel. It isn’t as hard as glass but almost. I paired it with a diamond block made for sharpening chisels. I was afraid she would chip the edge. I snuck in the kitchen and carefully examined it just now while she wasn’t looking. *whew* No chips.
I can cut tomatoes thin by dragging the edge over the tomato using only the weight of the blade and pinching the handle with thumb and forefinger at the base of the handle. I will never find another one like it.
“SS” Fork? I knew it! Suthen’s a Nazi.
I assumed that if searched for “SS Fork” I’d end up
on another list somewhere.
Stainless Steel?
/Yes, hence the Tears…..
Black knives matter.
Yeah, I hate those Social Security forks.
Dude, get her a cutting board.
I have never dated, let alone married a woman that I would trust in my kitchen.
Eh, Mrs Dean is careless with knives. I can take care of them. She takes care of me. Win-win.
Ok, I’m officially worried. Steak selection sucked today.
Our take out BBQ was noticeably more expensive and lower portion size. There was a sign that brisket is in short supply.
/panicmode
Quality and quantity of restaurant food has been declining for years. Prices rising. Eating out just aint what it used to be.
The same. has been happening with most food for a long time. I notice that bread loaves are only about 3/4 the size they used to be.
I saw an ad for bread yesterday, 1 lb loaves but priced the same as 1 1/2 pounders not long ago. Some products that used to be 16 oz are 13-14 oz. TP has gotten much narrower in width. We don’t see the product shrinkage as fast as a price increase.
The product shrinkage has been going on a long time. Most people can’t tell the difference between a 4lb bag and a 5lb bag.
4 Lb. bag of sugar
Yeah, the “one pound” cans of coffee are down to 11.5 oz or somesuch.
Noticed the narrower TP after I started saving the cardboard cores to use as “bobbins” for yarn. First couple looked normal, all after that were about half an inch shorter. Very sneaky.
Huh. I haven’t noticed that. I use them to store cords and cables a la this. I had many that are quite a few years old and I just added a bunch and there’s no discrepancy.
Yep. I’ve noticed that certain paper towels don’t stay on the holder as tightly anymore.
And the cardboard is thinner than it used to be.
But it feels better when you wipe with them.
My mom was just talking about that today. She has some old TP she got when she cleaned out an old lady’s house and she says it doesn’t fit on modern dispensers.
I think there is a joke in there about ass size increasing instead.
Brisket? You can get it, but you will pay for it, like me last night, yikes!
/hides his brisket that’s been brining for 9 days.

I’m planning on cutting it in half tomorrow, cooking half of it, and vacuum sealing the other half. There’s only two of us in the house.
Had to pass on the NY strips at Costco, barely under $15/lb. Pack of 4 was $78.
Last year, I bought NY for $5/lb. a few times.
How much does NY weigh? that’s a lot of rock……………..
Didnt the Fed just dump about 4 trillion on the economy? Soon that 78 bucks won’t buy a pack of gum.
Buy it
Can it
Freeze it
Store it

$15.99 at ours today. Hard pass.
Harris Teeter beats Costco and Publix in our local meat war.
Ground beef is 8 bucks a pound now around here. GTFO.

HOLY MACKEREL! I was gonna bitch because our store just jumped to $5.99 per lb.
Well now I know 3 lb of ground beef will get me a blow job in NYC.

Took some stones to do that. I’ll give him some credit.
It may just be that he is more scared of the cops than he is the protesters, but he still went out there (by himself apparently) and did that.
He looks like a high school kid. He doesn’t own a suit?
That is some kind of a crowd. Be some fireworks in ol’ Mpls tonight. I can’t help but wonder how many guns are there, concealed, legal, illegal, etc. Gotta be 2 or3.

Curious.
Looks like they’re recruited from Cracker Barrel security personnel.
Hehe. Could’ve been one of our zoom meetings.
Those are part of some private contractor security. That thread is chock full o’ some weapons grade TDS. It truly has poisoned their minds.
I especially like the calls there to have the police some disburse them or arrest them.
1. Run in the streets day and night screaming ‘fuck the police!’
2. Smash and burn property
3. Beat people
4. When someone scary shows up to resist you start screaming ‘call the police!’
Notice in the initial pan you can see US military behind them. Yep, those are mercenaries contracted as security by the military. Probably all ex-military, mostly vets and more than a few scalps under their belts. I wouldn’t fuck with those guys.
Blackwater types?
Yes. There are several of those companies. I think Blackwater is gone now. Same guys though. They are used to operating with impunity in countries with no rule of law.
Erik Prince is alive and well operating under a new company name.
The guys I know who worked for that company refer to it as the company that shall not be named.

If you want a glock, get a 26 or 19.
Or you could go to WalMart sporting goods section and get a proper boat anchor for much, much less money.
*hates clunky, square, plastic guns*
I’ve put a moratorium on buying polymer framed pistols. I’ve been much happier with my acquisitions.
If you want a Glock, get a Smith and Wesson 686 4″. It’s way more powerful, not picky on ammo and twice as easy to clean. The fact that it’s beautiful is just a bonus. You could load it and put it in a drawer for 50 years, pull it back out and it’ll go bang, as long as the ammo survived.
I like Glocks and I want that pistol.
Funny, that picture is me right now, minus the booze.
Keep waiting for this “Oh, just you wait until the right strikes back against these cultists!” What if they never do? Sure, when the left goes too far ahead of the culture like they did at Evergreen, they finally get push back from the broader public. There is a tipping point, however, and maybe we’ve reached it where the average dude and dudette just cave. Guess I’m asking, when, if ever, is this moral panic gonna end? It took a while for the radicals of the 60’s to work their way into govt jobs, but it looks like they are being mainlined into them now.

(why *does* he keep tweeting that?)
Started doing my jog around my neighborhood (3 miles) with a weighted vest on (30 lbs, it’s a 40 lb vest with a few weights taken out). Goddamn. It’s about 4x more difficult. Walked most of the way because I couldn’t make it.
My neighborhood is about to fall into all-out political war. I’m in a gated community in a mostly white/hispanic, middle-upper middle class area. The county is about 75% Dem but out here is closer to 50-50. Every day walking around I see someone with either a new Trump flag/sign or a Biden sign. One asshole put up a thin blue line flag this week and it got torn down (I’ll let whoever did that slide). There were barely any political signs in the neighborhood in 2016.
“One asshole put up a thin blue line flag this week and it got torn down (I’ll let whoever did that slide).”
nah, that’s buckshot. even if I don’t agree with thin blue liners, they have the right to hang whatever they want out there.
I’m not sure it did get torn down. Just wouldn’t mind if it was. The guy claims it did (on Nextdoor), but neighbors called him a liar. It was replaced with a regular old American flag the next day at any rate.
The person that lives there is a Sheriff’s Deputy, so definitely wouldn’t put it past him to pull off that kind of thing.
That seems to be about the state of the country right now. It is pretty scary.
Not where I live, it’s all Rednecks all the time and I like it!
Manhattan, Brooklyn and The Bronx are, apparently, having a rough time of it. The Rockaway Peninsula is thankfully absent just about any trouble or strife. A neighborhood gang-banger shot up a parked, unoccupied, NYPD cruiser a few blocks away but he was rousted the next day. Our beaches are busy when the weather is nice and I’m happy we’re separated from the other boroughs by a costly toll bridge at either end.
All quiet in Bay Ridge (Brooklyn). Watched a crowd downstairs of about 100 peaceably protesting up the sidewalk of 5th Avenue a couple days ago, and about 20 yesterday. Nothin’ today. No noticeable strife when I’m out and about.
Also, my wife and I got absentee ballot applications in the mail today. OMG VOTER FRAUD! Or I’ll just get one because I’m too lazy to go to vote in person.
JFC. This shit makes me irate. Fuck you, Broncos.

Celebrities Show Solidarity With Protesters By Burning Their Own Homes To The Ground
BELL CANYON, CA—According to sources, Hollywood celebrities have courageously united under an inspiring new movement to show respect for black lives. Entitled the #BurnYourHouseDown movement, celebrities such as Alyssa Milano, Jimmy Kimmel, and John Legend have volunteered to relinquish their power and privilege by burning their houses and everything they have to the ground.

In two weeks we’re either going to have a metric fuckton of new COVID cases or proof that the lockdowns were absolutely pointless. This’ll be interesting.
The proof the lock downs were absolutely pointless is there. Nobody wants to pay attention to it though.
Or in between. End of formal lockdowns doesn’t mean people are either engaging in the same number/level of interactions. Flip side of people were not going out to restaurants or traveling before the formal lockdowns started.
Karl Manke wins
The Michigan state supreme court sided with a 77-year-old barber Friday night, ruling his shop could open despite prolonged shutdowns of wide swaths of the economy ordered by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitner.
In a unanimous ruling, the court overturned the decision of an appeals court that upheld a temporary restraining order the Whitmer administration had sought in what became a spotlighted case in an ongoing dispute in Michigan.
I got my first haircut since early February this morning. I look human again.
For some values of “human”.
Ah, thank you, anxiety disorder, for making this reply seem more than it is.
I needed it bad. My hair hasn’t been that long since I was a teenager letting my hair grow long because I was an idiot.
I look forward to the deluge of lawsuits from other businesses that had the right to open up too. What’s that, sovereign immunity? Well damn.
“Win” meaning that he can cut hair again. These “wins” are getting less and less fulfilling. I mean, good for him, but…
Polite applause, rising slowly to a standing ovation.
What the hell is wrong with my country?
Leftism…collectivism…what I think of as European philosophy and values have infested our country. It is a cancer.
Where do you all live?
it’s been calm and peaceful here, nary a peep, The cities need to get over it…..
On the “All you white people are racist and need to just shut up and listen and be supportive” front:
I made a shopping run to the Walmart in the bad neighborhood today. 80% low income, trashy types. Large minority presence… maybe about 40% black, 40% white, 20% Hispanic.
And you know what?
Everybody was fine. Nobody was a racist ass. Nobody shouted white supremacist slogans while sporting a Hawaiian shirt. Nobody screamed “Black Lives Matter, you racist!” in my face. Nobody seemed to be the least bit interested in even mentioning any of it.
I’m sure people are upset and wound up…. but not nearly to the extent that one might believe based on press reports, riots and online mobs. The quite obviously ghetto couple that was blocking my way in the aisle looked up and noticed me and moved without being prompted. He said “sorry about that” like a normal polite person would. I said “no problem” like a normal polite person would. There was no underlying tension. Just normal people doing their normal thing.
The girthy black lady at the meat section struck up a conversation about the crazy prices. “Five bucks a pound for chicken wings? Are they crazy?” We commiserated for a few moments, like you do.
These assholes in the press and in these DNC associated groups are really trying hard to drive forth a race war…. But so far most folk are still just folk.
I really, really hope they lose and lose hard. I don’t want to live in a world where the color of your skin is the only thing that counts. I know it makes me a crazy alt-right racist, but I prefer the Dream of MLK.
Exactly, in the real world we are polite because its the right thing to do, everyone enjoys it,
I hope they lose big before they manage to spark some kind of crazy race war.That would get very ugly and a lot of the wrong people would get hurt.
Yup. Today, I gave a bunch of fish I caught to a couple of noob fisherman (one black, one white) because I didn’t really feel like cleaning them and they were having a tough time. Then when I was at the launch, I let a black guy go ahead of me because the way the boats were set up, it made every one’s life easier. I even joked with him later because he did a great job backing up and getting his boat on a trailer, and in my experience that never happens. Usually when you give up your spot, it turns out that the guy ends up not knowing how to back a trailer. Everyone at the launch laughed and nodded.
So yeah, the lake was a cool place to be today and I think you’d be hard pressed to find the systemic racism that seems to be all the rage right now.
Apparently we forgot to check our privilege. If we had done that, we could have identified the hidden racism of being normal and polite in public.
I like your new bio Spud.
Ha! Thanks for noticing. I thought I would lighten things up a bit, ironically.

Loud noise outside. The lady looks at me like “are you going to do something about that?”. Instinctively I get the nondescript rifle of color out of the safe.
As an aside, “AR” might technically stand for “Armalite Rifle”, but I like to think of it as America’s Rifle.
What is the noise?
Last time I did that I discovered a whole family of raccoons eating my muscadines. The mom and four kids all had the hair on their faces slicked back with juice. They just looked at me and kept chewing with that open-mouthed smacking they do. In climbing up the pergola one of them had knocked over a shovel that was leaning up against it. I scolded them to be quiet and stop chewing with their mouths open (Use your manners! What? Were you raised in…oh. Carry on) and went back to bed.
What is the noise?
Plausibly a rifle, but far in the distance. Which has happened around here before. She tends to overreact. I assume a neighbor killed an aggressive animal if no police sirens follow up.
Neat and appreciated story though.
Woody Guthrie had “This machine kills fascists” on his guitar. I was thinking about having “This machine kills socialists” engraved on my AR.
Ooops, I mean “would have” before the unfortunate boating accident.
Best job in the world? – I dunno. Lets ask Jeff Epstien.
What’s the difference between Jeffery Epstein and Anthony Bourdain?
Jeffery Epstein did not kill himselfBourdain’s job was a constant vacation.One is a chef and the other a pimp and likely a blackmailer.
I remain suspicious of all the charges against him. The girls all seemed old enough to consent and they did, in fact. All of the under-aged accusations seemed flimsy. It really seemed like hookers haggling over the price after the fact. You know, like the whole #metoo movement.
Boat bunnies who aged out and, once they were no longer desirable enough to be carted around on jets and yachts, decided they had been raped.
They don’t have to be underage to be blackmail leverage. Also, even though they were likely old enough to know what they were doing, legally they weren’t and that added to the effectiveness of the arm twisting. He was obviously an intelligence asset that got sold down the river by his handlers.

Grocery store updates: still having trouble sustaining restocking. Cleaning wipes completely gone again, along with most spray cleaners. Bleach half cleaned out. No Brawny paper towels, but the shelves are full with a very limited selection. Not one, but two Mexican brand toilet paper. Not just the brand, but all in español like it was never intended for the US market. Genuine poor paper quality too from the look of it.
No bleach or disinfectant cleaners since March. But I had a case of bleach shipped to me, and got a gallon jug of quaternary ammonium concentrate.
Uffda. I wasted a lot of my afternoon with a couple shitlords (Tundra and Leap) when I could have been screaming at an elected leader for not defunding the police department. And I could have gotten some Game of Thrones LARPing in.
I have to hand it to the lunatics, they got to live out a fantasy of mine. Even though we’ve had so many Libertarian Moments in my lifetime, we’ve never forced a major politician to take walk of shame.
Your State is dead.
The metropolitan area is fucked. Outstate is still cool. I wonder what the process is for parts to secede to Iowa and the Dakotas.
Everyone must watch the video of the Minneapolis Mayor trying to address the protests.
The DNC may be about to realize the error of their ways. They’ve been pushing this… But they wanted them to stay in their box. What if Antifa and the Communist Worker’s Party of America and #BLM don’t go back in their box like a bunch of good little toadies?
This should be interesting.
Half of the DNC are socialists closet or otherwise. How are they going to pull it back? They may be about to learn why they were called “Useful idiots” and that “Liberals get a bullet too.”
Realization is not in the DNC toolbox.
Solemn nod of affirmation with a sad and wistful look.
Serious question for my political analyst buddies here:
Is Trump going to be able to do his 3D chess thing on this one? He’s been dealt a double whammy of Covid shutdowns and riots across the country.
I think there is an obvious opportunity here to take this and ram it up their rear ends. By making a direct appeal for the black vote, Trump could completely blow everything up. All he has to do is get the list of names that BLM keeps repeating. Run it down. Then ask… Who was the mayor for this one? Who was the chief of police? Run them all down, and ask… what do they have in common? They are all democrats.
Just hammer it home. Ram it up their rear ends.
The media will howl. They’ll call him racist. But he can just be Trump and keep sticking it to them.
It might be the only way out of this insanity. The media has been so … soviet. We have no national discourse any more. They’ve even gone full tilt with the “now is not the time for you to share your opinion” thing.
Maybe this is Trump’s calling. This could be why he is here. No other politician could pull that off… I don’t mean nobody else could make the case. Almost anyone could make the case better. But nobody could sustain it and pull it off. Except maybe Trump. He managed to survive the “grab them by the ” audio.
My take is that the election will be decided in about 5 States and therefore will not be decided by national events, but rather local. Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin and North Carolina, and three of those will be decided by Union votes. How does all of this play with the blue collar vote? I don’t know.
I don’t know about Florida. We have had a lot more people move here from NY.
That “I don’t know” is why you guys are one of the deciding States.
He’s already the only one decrying the rioting and looters. The people who do that almost always win after a huge national riot, maybe more so this time with all the defund bullshit being bounced around. Imagine the hilarity when these defund idiots get themselves into a victim situation?
I would agree with that – except we may not be living in a world where normal physics works. Because in my world, people who call for defunding the police department in Los Angeles because of something that the Minneapolis police did are rightly viewed as being insane and are roundly ignored by all. And probably shunned and maybe taken for a stay in a mental hospital by their close family.
But I’m living in a universe where those people are having the leaders of their cities kneel before them, begging for forgiveness and telling them that they promise to listen hard, and listen deep.
So, when it’s time to reelect them, and there’s a looted and burned street right in the middle of town, you think they’ll vote for the grovelers? I don’t. Especially once the PD starts it’s “show them what a mistake they made by defunding us” program.
They did the last 3 times this happened in my lifetime. I wasn’t around for ’68, Well, I was
but I was barely out of diapers.
I’m pretty sure that every major riot I’ve seen has resulted in law and order types winning office afterwards. ’68 was Nixon ’92 was Riordan ( the last republican mayor of LA. Chaos makes people vote for protection. The cops are going to make sure there’s high profile cases where they just “couldn’t get there in time” and punch that point at the press conferences until funding is restored. Incentives matter.
I remember Rodney King.
Hands up, don’t shoot.
Neither resulted in a law and order US President. And more to the point, neither resulted in Democrats losing control of the city governments where the riots happened.
Hell, they ransacked Atlanta when I was living and there… and we’d had a black mayor since I was a little kid.
I guess, but LA elected a republican mayor after the riots, and there were riots in ’65’67’68 and Nixon won in a landslide. Even the democrats were massively law and order after those riots. Biden wrote the crime bill, Hillary gave her “superpredator” speech. Tough on crime was the only way to go in the ’70s and the ’90’s. Unfortunately, lot’s of anti-2nd measures included.
The problem is that cops are one of Trump’s blind spots (like the WOD). He loves cops too much to take advantage of this moment. If he was really smart, he’d seize the advantage here and propose elimination of qualified immunity and pubsec unions. He’d say that it was to deal with police unions, but expand it to be all govt employees.
He love the cops too much though and won’t do it.
The upside is that if you believe polling Trump’s numbers with black likely voters are high enough to be giving DNC folks the terrors.
I wonder what that actually means….
I mean, it is entirely plausible that historically low unemployment has broken through with people.
And there certainly is an opportunity. The freaking crime bill that so many decry as racist was sponsored and pushed by Joe Biden. Trump is the guy who has been unwinding it…. without the love and support of the democrats in congress.
I doubt very many people know these facts. But it could be an opening.
If Trump pulls in a major chunk of the black vote, he’s in without trouble. But if he does so with coattails… breaking the stranglehold of the democrat party over the minds of black voters… Well, the house could be in for an avalanche. I doubt it, but if he were to run that gambit hard and pull it off, the entire political map gets blown up.
The DNC implodes. The RNC likely turns inside out. It would be a huge opening for a 3rd party to form and either join the other two or fully replace one or the other.

It isn’t vigilantism if all they did was walk about with bats.
Oh, I see now what you are really getting at:
“It is absolutely not appropriate for people to take up arms, bats, pipes, whatever in patrolling neighborhoods.”
AND we’re defunding the cops while we outlaw all guns. Have fun!
Defunding the police is a good idea if people have the ability to arm themselves and to defend themselves as they see fit. Otherwise it’ll be a disaster. Believe it or not, there really are people out there who’d happily slit your throat for a twenty dollar bill.
Defunding the police would be great, AFTER we defang them and we no longer use them to collect fines and hassle everybody over nothing. Starting with the defunding is/will be a disaster. They will just “not make it in time” every time they are called for serious shit and blame it on lack of money. They are not going to take this shit lying down. Laws making them accountable and putting them in prison when they do this shit needs to be first.
There are people who would slit your throat just to see the look on your face.

Hola, glibs. Happy birthday to me – though I believe it was a couple hours from now, half a century ago.
“Cocktails and delivery Cuban in the neighbors yard, while we avoid coming too close to each other” was not really how I had envisioned this milestone.
An uplifting message in honor of the occasion. Many happy returns of the day!

Plus, TMBG rule.
I’m generally in the “birthdays are not special – everyone has one” camp.
(and yet, I felt the need to mention it *drinks*. I blame the Tenderoni)
Happy Merry, slum!
Happy half century slum. Here’s to the second half.
50 was easy compared to 31. I kinda went bug-shit for a few months. Lost much and gained some in the process.
Happy birthday!
I may be slow but at least I’m late.
/Hoists a glass of OJ to the birthday boy, First 50 is easier than the next 50 though
Happy B’day, Slummy
