Good morning my Glibs and Gliberinas! And what a a beautiful morning it is for everyone but China who had their Houston consulate closed due to accusations of IP theft.
Trump signed an EO barring illegal immigrants from the census count.
Only 23% of people favor defunding the police where they live.
Probably due to shit like this.
Chicago Police video shows Antifa using protests as cover.
35 year old cold case solved from DNA evidence collected from a cigarette butt.
That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
“And what a a beautiful morning it is for everyone but China who had their Houston consulate closed due to accusations by the US of IP theft.”
I would replace the word”but”, because part of why it is beautiful is because they are now getting what they should have been given over 2 deccades ago.
Fuck China and their shitty products made with slave labor.
Biden will give them a 20 trillion dollar bailout.
Something I think about from time to time – I hope that somehow that “China is asshole” guy has somehow escaped the ire of the CCP and is – best case – living a better life somewhere in Europe or the US, sponsored by the local government as a political asylum seeker.
As when viewing less-than-up-to-date porn, just assume the people in the image all died years ago.
Meh. Being forced to GTFO of Houston in July isn’t actually a bad thing.
Fuck China.

Good morning Banjos.

China threatens retaliation after US orders closure of Houston consulate
Come at me, bro.
Here ya go, brah…
I for one am kind of glad we pulled out of that shitshow. Now we need to get out of the UN next…
CNN has this story front page, right?
I want some of whatever you are smoking man….
Never have done drugs in my life, and don’t feel the need to do so now, but what you are doing sounds so awesome I will break that rule of mine this time…
I assume Hyperion meant that CNN front page says something along the lines of “Checkout this awesome new website that proves Trump created COVID in a secret lab under the WH!”
Otherwise, yeah, I’ll have what he’s having.
“That’s not peaceful protest, that’s anarchy, and we are going to put that down,” Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot, told media. “We are actively investigating, and we will bring those people to justice. We want people to feel safe.”
Watch out, hoodlums.
That Census Cowboy is coming for ya!
“And this time we mean it! Like for reals! Not like last time either.”
We want people to feel safe.
How nice.
Lori said the reason so many were injured (shot) at the funeral last night is because too many people are going to funerals. Makes sense.
“too many people are going to funerals”
The solution? Kill the whole family so there’s no one left to attend.
Thank you Enver Hoxa…
Damn near the only site on the interweb that would get that joke. We’re the cool kids and those guys are Lame!
His wikipedia page is straight up classic Commie propaganda.
LITERACY! ELECTRIFICATION! RAILWAYS!!! followed by
“Detractors criticize him for a series of political repressions which included the establishment and use of forced labor camps, extrajudicial killings and executions that targeted and eliminated dissidents, a large number of which were carried out by the Sigurimi secret police.”
“Lori said the reason”
I have to ask a question, I hope it doesn’t sound mean. But, is Lori as dumb as she looks? I mean seriously, because man that is one dumb looking xe right there.
Now if you were running the Chicago Democratic Machine, would you put someone into the Mayor’s office that had a lick of smarts? Or one that would obediently trot out whatever talking points are put in front of them?
A mostly peaceful funeral.
“We are actively investigating [people we don’t like], and we will bring those people [who are politiucally disfavored] to justice [AND BY JUSTICE, MEAN RAPE]. We want people to feel safe. [and vote for me you stupid racists]”
Oh NOW they’re gonna finally do something?
Gee, interesting timing.
Watching that video of the coordinated attack on the police made me cringe. How is it possible that at this point in the ‘protests’, Chicago PD don’t go to these events in full riot gear. 50 fucking cops were injured and 20 sent to hospital because they were guarding the Columbus statue in short sleeves and flack jackets. A Handful of them had their bike helmets on.
Their captain should be run out of town.
Probably came from higher up that there were to be no riot police or any indication that they expected riots, in some bizarro world that that would prevent “escalation”. Besides, CPD should be used to being thrown under the bus. Like the CPD officers “busted” for hanging out in Rush’s offices during the last riot.
The people of Chicago knew what kind of government they wanted and now they’re getting it, good and hard. (h/t to Mencken)
This is what I’ve been saying about Portland and Seattle wrt to DHS police. There’s no reason to think that the citizenry wants the chaos to stop at this point so just let it happen.
What about poor Swiss?
We can air drop him some Kirschwasser, raclette, and 5.56.
Only if he promised to import some Swiss made SG553’s.
People keep saying this but it doesn’t make any sense. Chicago’s elections are a clusterfuck. Lightfoot won the second round handily but the turnout was 32% and she only won 17% on the first round, and the difference between who did and didn’t make it to the second round was just over 1 percentage point. The city has a notorious political machine rivaled perhaps only by Baltimore. Not to mention there’s no way to remove a Chicago mayor once in office.
Somebody’s getting something they wanted good and hard but I’m not sure the majority of the people of Chicago are.
^^^ This. Everyone talks about election stealing, when chances are that the majority of election stealing that goes on is in local politics.
I don’t understand the political dynamic in these democrat cities. The nation has a pendulum that swings back and forth – “ok, you’ve screwed up enough, time to give someone else a turn…”
But these voters don’t dare try something different. If the murder rate in Chicago doesn’t motivate you to change horses, what will?
Haven’t the voters in any of these cities looked at the example of New York City? They were a cesspool, drowning in filth and crime. So they shook off decades of democrat one-party rule and gave Giuliani a shot. He made a noticeable difference in rather short order, markedly improving the quality of life in the deepest parts of the city. You’d think that this example would be enough to get people in places like Chicago and Los Angeles to toss aside their inept leadership.
Los Angeles is literally a garbage dump – with random garbage littering highway rights of way. Things like broken toilets, bedding, etc. are common sights along the freeways of LA. Yet they are absent the moment you cross the border into orange county to the south. The contrast is very stark.
Yet the electorate does not seem to even flirt with the idea of changing horses. How is this possible? The example is literally next door, yet they don’t see it.
Like i said. You are assuming fair elections in the places most likely to not have them. Rigging a local election is much easier to do than a national one, and there is less scrutiny too.
Add in years of missmanagment and you don’t even have to rig it because people are demoralized to even believe that voting could work.
Yet the electorate does not seem to even flirt with the idea of changing horses.
The overseers make sure that no one gets any bad ideas.
No the electorate of LA is moving down here to OC and voting out the Republicans. If you think that the streets and highways are all cleaned up in OC, go visit Huntington Beach or Santa Anna.
The political machine of New York City went to war with the national party and lost. FDR broke Tammany Hall and it never recovered. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a political machine in New York City today but it is not as powerful as Tammany Hall once was. This allowed some NYC elections to be genuinely competitive for decades, though those days may be behind us now.
As leon notes, it is much easier to rig local elections than state and national ones. I don’t think Baltimore has had a real election in the better part of a century, though Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was a bit of an exception to that rule as the machine was in disarray at the time. The machine controls the process and the precincts and it generally gets what it wants.
No Maryland governor will challenge this; the Republicans know it will be a nasty fight with little benefit to themselves or the state party, and the Democrats are either from that machine (e.g. O’Malley) or otherwise benefit from having lockstep control of the legislature and the largest municipalities and so don’t think they’d benefit from cleaning up their own house (plus, it’s just a bunch of poor non-whites anyway, they’re to be pitied not respected).
Giuliani took on the mob too. Totes balls.
Not to mention there’s no way to remove a Chicago mayor once in office.
Being Chicago, I’d assume you’re just supposed to shoot them.
They’re there for their (hey, all 3 spellings in 4 words…) pension clocks and taxpayer-paid health benefits. That’s all. They’ve done the math and figured out that there’s a greater chance of keeping those by standing there and letting this happen. That way, they stay in good with the criminals running the city, and there are no investigations into their “other” behaviour.
I already know this going, and it will be nationwide.
Two words:
Government.Disability
You know, with all the shit show that’s going on now, one would hope that the cops would find actual real work to do and stop shaking down kid’s lemonade stands and shooting people sitting in their cars smoking some weed.
But they won’t, because the politicians have once again made it all about race, so expect them to instead be given tanks and to start using those to run down little kids lemonade stands, and to begin executing people in the street who have unpaid parking tickets.
FIFY
That’s because some cities know that their cops only go after out of towners, and use that to fund the city’s budget:
City Council and motel tax, catch the transients.
In the good old days, highwaymen were thieves. Nowadays… still thieves.
Kind of a low quality mug shot, but I’m gonna say would.

Only 23% of people favor defunding the police where they live.
To get the correct answers you must ask the correct questions. Of course, we can’t do that now that the issue of policing has been morphed into a faux racial narrative. What we should be talking about is the militarization of police and general lack of accountability, not the “funding”.
The left ruins everything. Which is why you never get into bed with them. Police reform is going to be set back for decades thanks to these stupid cunts. There is going to be a pendulum swing towards cop dick sucking just like after Ferguson.

Actually I was thinking about this – the violence is going to keep going and maybe even ratcheting up until November, in particular it will be focused on polling stations, maybe even with aNtIfA et al physically preventing people from entering, and of course, Trump’s Federal Schultzstaffel or whatever they call them will end up being stationed at polling stations to try maintaining order and the whole thing will be painted in The Narrative as Trump deploying federal military police to intimidate and prevent D voters from casting a vote, or something.
Oh never mind me, my thoughts just caught up with everyone else.
“the violence is going to keep going and maybe even ratcheting up until November, in particular it will be focused on polling stations”
The dems are going to send all their brownshirts to the polls to prevent any people brave enough to go out during a total lockdown for our own safety, from doing any dangerous voting at the polls. After that, the brownshirts get their marching orders to make sure those paper ballots get to their destination in Broward county, FL, for counting to prevent any thuglican cheating and stuff. Democracy at long last!

I don’t get it, why would he have to steal the election with Biden up by Eleventy eleven hundred megazillion points in all the polls? People want fresh new leadership!
We’re independent journalist, here. We write bad stuff about Trump al the time.
Trump has been issuing increasingly dire and outlandish warnings about what Democrats will do to the suburbs. He warns suburbanites will face rising crime and falling home values if they elect Joe Biden.
The message: be afraid, be very afraid.
The newest ad from Trump’s campaign is a very dramatic dramatization of an older white woman calling 9-1-1 when she sees an intruder. But no one is there to answer her call for help. As she is attacked, the words “You won’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America” flash on the screen.
This is all based on the false claim that Biden wants to defund the police. Biden has specifically said he doesn’t want to defund the police. His campaign says these are “smears” that aren’t working.
——-
From there, the appeals to suburban voters and his ideas about what issues matter to them have only gotten more direct. Trump has pushed for schools to re-open, threatening to pull funding if they don’t without explaining how it can be done safely while coronavirus cases spike. And he has targeted an Obama-era fair housing regulation, promising to sign an executive order halting it.
The 2015 regulation deals with racial segregation of housing and requires local municipalities to address historic patterns of it. But Trump warned last week that it would “destroy” the suburbs.
“Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise,” he said. “People have worked all their lives to get into a community, and now they’re going to watch it go to hell. Not going to happen, not while I’m here.”
That kind of racial view, pitting whites in the suburbs against Blacks and Latinos who might move in, is an appeal that seems to stem from an anachronistic view of the suburbs.
“He thinks it’s basically the planned development of Levittown in the 1960s as opposed to today’s suburbs, which are multiracial, diverse and highly educated,” Matthews said.
Haha, that Trump guy; what does he know about real estate?
The media wing of the party of hate and fear calls out President Cartoon Villain for stoking racial resentment. You can’t make this shit up.
Biden specifically said he does not support defunding the police… he wants to move funds from the police to social services. (seriously… that is literally his position on the issue. Democrats are quite proud of this hairsplitting.)
Trump has been issuing increasingly dire and outlandish warnings about what Democrats will do to the suburbs.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with Democrat’s record in the cities.
Yeah, it’s not like you can’t see the results of decades of uncontested Democrat control in the big cities on your TV every night.
Maybe you’re just fat?

Yeah, whenever a guy stops having sex with a chick, it is because she dropped below the bar he sets for “I will only plow that when I am stupid drunk & high, and can tell I am committing some sort of fetishized weird sex act I would otherwise avoid when sober”

You’re doing a good enough job of terrorizing your residents yourself, Lori.

So, I went to happy hour – the real thing – not virtual – last night with a few friends, and one of the people there, a Russian immigrant girl I have know for a long time whom had been real scared and I was surprised to see there, had a doozie of a story to share (which also was why she was there). After months of living in panic about the Kung Flu, she had a couple of incidents that pulled the veil from her eyes
Anyway, one story was personal to her, the other happened to her best friend’s parents. She had taken a test which had shown her as having the virus(she had no symptoms whatsoever) and freaking out about that, went to a different place to take another test, and guess what? That one came back not positive. She immediately realized that the tests were either not reliable, the people doing the testing were doing something wrong, or that the results could just be made up, and this really freaked her out something wicked. Salvation & the great awakening, however, came because she had her best friend, which lives in NYC, call her a couple of days after her own experience, to tell her that her (the friend’s) parents had gone to take a test, but after standing in line for 5 hours in the hot sun, had given up & left and gone home (without taking the test, mind you). The real killer came when they received paperwork a few days later telling them that they both had registered positive to the virus! So she sees this all as bullshit now.
Now, I told her it could just be a screw up: that the idiots doing the testing misaligned the names and results, and her friend’s parents got someone else’s result (something that in and of itself is a disastrous problem for the people being tested and getting the wrong result). That or someone else pretended to be them to get the test they had not signed up for (or decided not to wait any longer in line for without realizing they wouldn’t be getting the results (which is also a real problem). But to her this was neither situation. She was now convinced that they faked results and send them out because they want big numbers.
She went from someone scared to death of the Wuhan Flu to a complete skeptic in the span of a week based on this stuff. One has to wonder how many other people are experiencing things like this but we never hear about it because of the lockup & destroy the country agenda of those that only care about the coming November election results or their time in the current panic limelight.
There’s a black guy, I believe in Georgia, who on Instagram said he also went to go get tested but left because of the long line only to receive in the mail he tested for the virus.
This is some virus.
He’ll probably learn too that he’s already voted in the Presidential election in November.
I got an antibody test yesterday. I forgot to to the tech I was on blood thinners. Oops. Anyway, if it comes back negative, I will be going to another lab.
Thankfully, the erroneous positive results are coated in the virus, so they’re technically correct by week’s end.
Just got the results… Negative! Now I don’t want to go back to work. Heh.

I just love last minute urgent requests given at close of business and due the next morning.
Of course, it’s not a technical item, it’s paperwork…
That seems really common in IT. I wonder if that ever happens in other departments? I have had many round-the-clock work days …. I don’t really remember seeing anyone from sales, marketing or accounts payable doing that. Occasionally legal and the top accounting staff will work really late, if something big is happening.
But for IT it is kind of routine.
Quick anecdote:
I had an episode with the president of our company. He was enamored of an outside service provider and had been working with them to do a pricing model for one of his division’s products for 2 years. This was for a project that he told me and the board of directors that he couldn’t trust to my group because we would take too long (we had already produced a working prototype in less than 30 days, but his group was now too busy to do user testing).
So he spends a bunch of money on this outside company and 2 years later…. nothing. He has a board meeting coming up and he’s under a lot of pressure. So he comes to me on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving weekend …. at about 5pm. “I’m giving this project to you. You have my full confidence. (pats me on the shoulder) You’ll present it to the board of directors on the meeting in December (Tuesday after the Thanksgiving holliday). So literally 1 working day between out-of-the-blue request and “emergency due date” for a project he had failed to finish in 2 years.
I went to my team and we voted on whether to do it and present it, or walk in and detail the ludicrous scenario to the board. The team decided to just get it done… so they worked a couple of days over the weekend from home and fixed up the original project to the new specifications, adding some nice graphics.
At the board meeting he tried to take credit for the project’s success… but we had included a few facts in the demo – “requested date” and “date completed” as well as a blank for “user test completed” were included on all of the application screens. So all of his puffery about how he had been trying to get us to complete the project for 2 years looked pretty silly.
Bonus…. They never really used the application in production. He waited another 6 months to get the outside company’s version up. It was supposed to be a robust B2B application, but it was never rolled out beyond our internal team because it was too finicky. Needless to say, that division fell through and was closed up after another year of that sort of thing.
Tech people are the best.
Do you know who else used the military to suppress the vote?
After playing a clip of MSNBC Analyst John Heilemann saying that we should consider the possibility that President Trump is rehearsing using law enforcement to intimidate voters, Host Joy Reid asked, “Are you concerned about that, that these paramilitary forces will be used to suppress the vote using intimidation and fear?”
Holder responded, “I mean, if you’d asked me that question about any other president, I would say, of course not. That’s the script from a very bad movie. But this administration, this president has demonstrated that they have a capacity to go lower than we can possibly imagine. So, yeah, I think we have to be concerned about that. His attempt to talk about mail-in voting and all the fraud that is associated with it is factually incorrect. He’s just trying to set up a situation where he has the ability to delegitimize a vote that he might lose. If he loses, and I expect that he will, then we have to be prepared for what he is going to do in the immediate aftermath of such a loss, and what he’ll do for the time period between the election and the inauguration of the next president. We have to be prepared for things that this nation has never faced before, and unfortunately, that could involve the use of, you know, these forces. Who knows what he’ll do and the people who are in — as part of his administration will support him in doing.”
They’re really setting themselves up for a very bad situation.
So soft coup becomes Banana Republic. Nice work, Holder. CWAA!
Holder: I’m a personal expert on corrupt presidencies and criminal administrations!
?
@Holder:
“and what he’ll do for the time period between the election and the inauguration of the next president.”
What if he uses his DHS cronies to set up a fake investigation of the guy coming in!!!
“His attempt to talk about mail-in voting and all the fraud that is associated with it is factually incorrect”

“I mean, if you’d asked me that question about any other president, I would say, of course not.”

Shouldn’t there be some overlap for whistleblowing?
Id say that’s what he was trying to do, right?
You’d need to know the oppression levels of both the student and professor to know whether it was a whistleblowing or a hate crime.
Beat me to it.
If a black student had an illegal recording of a white professor being racist, they’d never be arrested for making the recording.
Indiana is a town in PA. There is also a California University of PA.
Lawyer question:
Hes screwed because its a 2 party consent state, fine. But could he bring a civil suit against the professor for libel with the recording as proof, or does the evidence being illegally gather mean he can’t use it in a civil trial?
It’s in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Birthplace of Jimmy Stewart.
IUP is the Arizona State of the Rust Belt.
IUP is in Indiana, PA which is the county seat of Indiana County, PA. A relative of mine went there for a bit.
I think the Indiana Territory (which became the state of Indiana) was created before Indiana County was created.

Yesterday, I spent about an hour and a half trying to get some photos from one of my old phones onto my windows 10 machine. What a pain in the ass. And it kept telling me to sign up for a microsoft account, whatever that is. Not gonna happen.
I hate microsoft.
I must do this (transfer photos) in order to create some craigslist ads. Today, I’ll see if I can blunder my way back through the process with my camera (and hope the fucking computer doesn’t just download everything off the camera whether I want it to or not, which has happened before).
Yesterday got a call from some mystery 17 digit # on my phone. Should probably stop clicking on HM linkx.
Years ago I got tired of all the different incompatible system problems trying to move photos between phones and PC and since then I always do this by attaching to a g-mail message, sending it to any other account I have, then pulling the photo from the send folder in g-mail on my PC. It’s foolproof and I don’t have to figure out some new method every time microsoft decides to update their system.
My son ‘fixed’ my computer. I’m with you, all I want is to save photos, make dvds for folks and talk to Festus via the machine because he’s like a son (and Canadian).
Praise be to TPTB, making life better every day and to all the commenters that willingly give up their time to make my life better.
I got sick of plugging in to get pics off the phone a while back, so I got a file explorer on the phone and do the copying from that end to a shared folder on the PC.
I got sick of futzing with the phone to get pictures off, so I got a real camera.
Email the photos to yourself if it’s a smart enough phone to do email.
I have now heard 4 or 5 independently different versions of the “wait in line, leave, test positive” story. Either it is widespread, or it is an urban myth that is taking off like wildfire. In most cases, my suspicion meter would be pointing hard to the latter, but in this case, it is swinging wildly between the two.
This was supposed to be a response to AlexinCT.
My guess would be to split down the middle: it can and has happened, but is less common than internet rumors are portraying. There’d be someone with tangible evidence if it was as widespread as people are saying.
In any event, there’s been enough coming out that you’re insane if you go to get tested right now unless you’re sick or unless you really have to.
Ass Wednesday brings more cushion for the pushin’ and more padding for the pounding.

PA Sheriff Overwhelmed By Demand For Concealed Carry Licenses
Long lines of applicants are a daily recurrence at the sheriff’s office at the moment. With office hours limited to appointments only, and demand for the concealed carry licenses at an all-time high, Allegheny County residents who call to set up an appointment today are being told they can come in sometime in November.
According to KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, Sheriff Mullen is processing 84 applications every day, but simply can’t keep up with the high demand from residents like Keith Vangura. Keep in mind, these are new applicants for the most part, since Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf has extended expiring concealed carry licenses for several more months.
Now do voting registration, with similar delay.
But voting is a real right.
SHUT UP GUN-TARd
On Tuesday nights, I can hear people practicing for the live fire part of the carry license. Yesterday night they had a lot of people there.
The wait to get a gun added to your permit has gone from 2 days to.. well, I still haven’t gotten mine yet and it’s been eighteen days.
Note that Allegheny County is also somewhat gun-unfriendly.
I have a minor internal debate.
The first two chapters of this work form a cohesive, more or less self-contained novella, but the last part of the text leading up to the narrative cut-off point contains a lot of material which is exposition for the future chapters and not related to wrapping up the starting arc. If I post the novella, do I cut out the elements that are not strictly needed? Or do I leave it in for color and risk it dragging down the narrative?
Cut it, the novella should be the novella, but you add the extra back into the novel.
That does, however change the tone of the ending.
The truncated version would stop after a somber conversation with his father.
The unabridged version would end with him at a party going “I’m the man of the hour, I’ve probably got a shot with most of the girls here.”
It’s the dream! The dream that’s totally relevant to the main plot! It’s the perfect opportunity. Jus’ sayin’.

RIght? Somethings need e’splaining.
Maybe the answer is to count them all, per the Constitution’s requirement, and then, per the 14th amendment, remove for districting purposes all those not eligible to vote? That would require, of course, the census including a citizenship question.

“Trump signed an EO barring illegal immigrants from the census count.”
I’m interested to see their arguments, because the Constitution seems clear that all residents should be counted.
It seems like a mostly meaningless symbolic gesture anyway since the Supremes said he can’t ask immigration status on the form. How do you know who to exclude?
Cut about 45% off the population of Commifornia, 25% off New York…
Because they’re illegal aliens, not illegal immigrants or residents, and remain residents and citizens of the countries that they’re from. The census doesn’t count tourists in hotel rooms no matter how long their reservation is.
The what now? Let’s not start using outdated words.
Executive orders are always totes legit, my local judge said so.
The funny part is that President Biden won’t be able to rescind it.

I am at least 60% sure that there had to be a special Constitutional provision for other people that were non-citizens. So I am inclined to think that non-citizens should not be counted.
60% or 3/5s?

The wording of the 14A on apportionment is interesting, flopping between inhabitants and citizens (with adult and male being added as modifiers from time to time).
Seems like a benefit to me.
Most police officers are able to go their whole careers without having to discharge their weapon in the line of duty anywhere outside of a training environment. For LAPD officer Toni McBride, though, that isn’t the path her career will take.
That’s because, as a fairly new police officer, McBride has already had to use her weapon. She’s the officer on the other side of body cam footage that’s made the rounds on social media. Faced with a man armed with a knife, McBride seemed to do everything right. She clearly didn’t want to shoot the suspect, but he gave her no choice.
She did what she had to do.
Now, she’s being vilified because in addition to being a police officer, she’s also been a competitive shooter.
I know that i want my law enforcement officer who we trust with a weapon, to never every pick it up until they need to.
Of all the gun grabber talking points, that’s the one that probably irritates me the most.
“Only well trained people like cops should have guns!!!!”
If you gave me the choice between sitting downrange of a bunch of cops, and a punch of local IDPA shooters, I’d take the IDPA shooters in a heartbeat.

“Portland, Oregon, is not out of control. To be sure there are some people who have strong feelings,” Blumenauer, who represents most of Portland in Oregon’s Third Congressional District, said. “There are some who have done things that are inappropriate and unlawful, but that is the challenge of our local officials and our state officials to manage it, not having somebody unwelcome, uninvited, and unprepared coming in to take this difficult situation and make it worse.”
Oh, well, that makes it all ok.
Look, some people did something.
Trump should pull out, cut off all federal funding to the city, and send them the bill for fixing all of the federal buildings.

A grand American tradition
People have been mocking DiAngelo. We should be in awe of her instead. She’s the absolute master of this, a P. T. Barnum for our time. As detailed in a New York Times Magazine piece (from which the six examples I mentioned above are drawn), DiAngelo is a great American capitalist marketing genius, up there with the inventor of the pet rock or the people who figured out how to get rich by creating prestige brands of water. Like them, she didn’t invent anything useful, didn’t do any noteworthy work whatsoever. She simply exploited an opportunity. Someday there will be a wing devoted to her in the Marketers’ Hall of Fame. No, they’ll rename the whole institution for her. She’s that good.
Sure, what DiAngelo is selling is so toxic to society that what she has done is the 21st-century equivalent of inventing the Marlboro Man, but we all play the hand we’re dealt, or to put it more bluntly, why shouldn’t she profit from people’s stupidity? There’s a racist born every minute, which means that one minute after that, their parents turn into suckers who feel the need to buy an anti-racist baby book, or otherwise add their dollars to the gross sales of the anti-racism business. This is America: We show our love for an idea by showering our dollars on it.
In the Times Magazine profile, which was over a year in the making, DiAngelo proves to be a dazzlingly contemporary cross between a charismatic religious leader and a therapist. Does a televangelist ever tell you that you are without sin and no longer need to listen to his appeals? Not if he wants to keep up the payments on his fleet of Jaguars. Does a therapist ever tell you you’re cured? Not likely, although your therapist, or even your televangelist, probably didn’t get into the field as a pure business proposition. The genius of DiAngelo is that, as an author/consultant, she doesn’t even work in an industry tied to any traditional notion of medical or religious ethics. There’s no association or board or synod judging her against some predetermined code of conduct. She is merely an entrepreneur, her own splendid money-making machine. “Internalized white superiority is seeping out of my pores,” she tells her parishioners, setting an example by confessing and encouraging others to do the same. Listeners are in the same position as accused witches in Salem; you can’t prove you’re not a witch, just as you can’t prove you’re not a racist. If you don’t confess to being a racist right away, that marks you as a clandestine racist — the most insidious kind. Not being a racist is, of course, not an option, not if you’re white. She makes no attempt to establish empirical truth about any of these propositions — DiAngelo’s pitch is all about anecdotal evidence, feelings. “From whose subjectivity does the ideal of objectivity come?” she often asks, neatly suggesting in a single phrase both that there is no truth and that ad hominem disparagement should settle all questions.
Huckster Supreme, bilking the credulous.
It’s like his super power is that his enemies are all fucking evil morons that just can’t help committing ritual suicide because of their idiocy, and things like this seem to keep validating that….
Interesting that Breitbart is calling him “Founder of anti-Trump superpac.” NPR reported the story as “Head of the OH Republican party.”
Have you seen what passes for a Republican here in Ohio?
Yeah this is his PAC’s take
“As part of the effort, Axios reported in June the group would highlight “Biden’s record on free trade, states’ rights, federal spending, and respecting U.S. diplomatic and military alliances … to make the case that most anti-Trump Republicans can feel comfortable supporting him.”
Joe Biden, legendary advocate of federalism and balanced budgets.
The Leftwing Branch of coproprate press isn’t the only one trying to sell you a shit sandwich.

Is that a John-ism or was it deliberate?
Well, he is the former head of the Ohio GOP, and the current chairman of a NeverTrump SuperPAC.
Keith Ellison should be properly identified in news headlines as “Minnesota AG Ellison” not “DNC Chairman Ellison.”
How about “Failed Presidential Candidate Ellison”?
Has anyone noticed Trump is slowly freezing out Fauci? Apparently, he wasn’t informed about the Wednesday briefing.
Trump said ‘it will get worse before it gets better’. Talk about a line the media will run amok with (I don’t know if they did). Trump seems to have changed his tone. More in line with his speeches. Seems like there’s Donald Trump the entertainer for press conferences and Donald Trump the President during speeches.
Thoughts?
Fauci’s “retirement” will be announced the day after the election. Firing him is more trouble than it’s worth, but Trump will never listen to him again.
Hopefully.
I am with bad orange man on this call to freeze this idiot out. As Rand Paul points out, Faucci is a fucking douche for pretending NY handled this virus anything but terribly. I had my doubts about Faucci but hoped he could be above the politics and just motivated by a narcissistic desire for face time, but not after that comment. Cuomo should be dragged in front of the international court for crimes against humanity (using some leftard hyperbole here).

@ 6sec “Ok you’re a lying bitch”
Today’s journalism at its finest.
This seems like Kabuki theater. “Journalists” now get attention by acting like rude assholes. The Press Secretary and sometimes the President get attention by slapping them down hard.
If the Administration really wanted it to stop, they would just pull the press passes of the obnoxious reporters.
Personally, I’m all for journalos calling BS on govt flacks and throwing in disparaging names too. The only problem I have is that I’m sure that once Biden wins, the new flack will no longer be treated so.
See how they groveled and covered for Obama even though he would constantly ass duck them then pull out and make them suck him clean…
The press wants to engage in mutual masturbation with the politicians of their dreams, and are furious when they aren’t accorded such pleasure.
Didn’t he try that and and a judge declared it a 1A violation? Or is that a hallucination of mine that can no longer be distinguished from reality?
Yes, see “Everybody look at me, I’m Jim Acosta.”
If Trump had the balls he thinks he does, he would have read that ruling and announced that press passes would henceforth be assigned by lottery to 50 random Americans every week. They would have the same access the press corps has, or they could choose to auction their press pass off to the highest bidder.
well if you subscribe to the Columbia Journalisim School of thought on the 1A, Freedom of the Press refers to the press as an occupation. You know that they are the only profession to be protected by the constitution, as long as you don’t read the 9th or 10th amendments.
You need to be on the WH communications team.
It’s just typical fucking Republican cuckery. They know, for a fact, that the entire press corps are Democrat partisans……so why not open it up to the people? Instead of 50 white people who all went to the same 20 colleges asking questions from their upper middle class leftist journo school framework, open it up to the actual people of the country.
The median household income in the US is 61,000. The majority of the people in the US do not have a college degree. Oh, and obviously the vast majority of the American population does not live in NYC or DC.
When’s the last time someone who fits all three of those categories got to sit down and speak to POTUS for a ten minute interview?
I think 1901
Around the time of your handle when those assholes would just walk right in the front door and give the president a piece of their mind like he was the hired help.
Polk used set up a desk on the White House lawn and anyone could come up and talk to him. You could walk up and talk to Andrew Jackson too, but he might decide to beat the shit out of you.
That policy probably changed when J W Booth gave a piece of Lincoln’s mind to everyone underneath the balcony.
i listned to it at a slower speed, and it sounds like “Ok, you don’t want to engage”.
She actually says “I don’t think you want to engage” on the much clearer audio.
From American Consequences:
“….The good news is that we are likely moving toward herd immunity, we are just doing so with the maximum amount of corruption, hypocrisy, and stupidity from our political elites.
We will make it through this virus, as human beings have beaten all pandemics in the past. That COVID-19 has a higher than 99% survival rate for those infected seems to be drowned out in a political discourse that seeks blame over solutions.”
But is it established this can be achieved? How does this, for example, relate to allegedly low antibodies or the fact T-cells may be the key to understanding this virus? I have no idea how they relate just by the fact I can’t even form a cogent sentence about it. But I’m sure some of you can.
They abandoned studying the ‘common cold’ in the 80s and we all learned to live with it. Is this gonna happen here or are the vaccines being tested gonna prove likely effective?
Derek Lowe, in his In the Pipeline blog, has had some very good posts on T-cells (6/22, 7/7, 7/14). The comment section is also good.

The Vaccine is going to prove to be immensely lucrative given the political hay made about this thing. I predict By the end of next year you’ll have to administer a vaccine to your kid to enroll them in school even though statistically this is less than flu dangerous for them. It doesn’t matter they’ve gone to far to be able to gaslight us into making it disappear completely.
You betcha, lotsa of money gonna be used to accomplish nothing or less. Its a great time to be alive and a grifter.
So how long before it’s discovered that antifa is bringing/stockpiling firearms near the riots?
Antifa is an urban myth. Like Samsquanch.

Hand grenades might be easier and less traceable. If some of the pawns blown themselves up, no big loss.

I do wonder if the AFA shot-callers are trying to provoke a violent response. A couple of dead ‘peaceful protestors’ might be just the right impetus to start cranking out a new batch of gun control laws…
They want a Kent State so bad. Neil Young could write a shitty song, they could put up new memorials, and create some new saints a bit more saintly than George Floyd.
That’s my read on it. The way riot control works in this country, hundreds of people can throw bricks and rocks and the cops are limited to tear gas, pepper balls, and direct clearance with shield and baton.
If a guy slams a brick into a cop, then drops the brick right before the cop breaks his teeth with a baton, hes now an “unarmed protester”
Need a Crispus Attucks volunteer to get things rolling
ISTR someone jumping out of a car and passing out bats to “protesters.”
I also remember a video of someone in an old Lexus trying to give a nice lady a brick and she went off on them.

I contacted a highly respected scientist in Montreal. Over the years, he has been doing God’s work fighting back against bad and junk science on the radio. He taught me a lot about EMPIRICAL evidence.
I asked him about what he thought about the masks. He said what most highly respected people have said and I’ve learned: Some strong evidence but not conclusive.
Then he said: This is a very serious situation. It’s worth a try. We’ll know in a month.
I couldn’t but help be disappointed with this because it shows scientists don’t consider trade-offs. It’s worth a try to change people’s habits and further manipulate their fears?

Apparently, the pollsters aren’t asking the right questions. They need to oversample some antifamums or something.

Since childhood, I’ve heard “Buy American! Save American jobs! Say no to cheap Chinese crap.”
But it was always coming from the labor union ad campaigns. I kept buying Chinese because it was cheap or there was literally nothing NOT made in China on the shelf.

After having my ID compromised in the great Office of Personnel Management Oopsie in which Chinese hacker stole sensitive ID information for hundreds of thousands of people with clearances; and then after being stung a few times by online purchases from China wherein there is no recourse if they screw you, to the shoddy nature of workmanship, I’m ready to start buying American.

Walmart said it will close stores on Thanksgiving Day this year, in another indication of how retailers are shifting business practices in response to the pandemic
I don’t get what a panicDEMic has to do with opening or closing on Thanksgiving.
Trying to avoid pre Black Friday crush?
I suspect Walmart execs and employees have wanted to get rid of Black Friday, and they’re using COVID as the excuse.
They should have just said “We want our employees to enjoy this family holiday so we’re not doing the big sale this year. Cheers!”
Why chicken out? It’s their store to open or close; they don’t need a cover story.
Given how much they make money-wise, skipping it is not something they should want.
Most likely their doors wont open but I bet their pack and ship teams in the back will be doing ship-to-home orders for Black Friday. Just my hunch.
I thought as long as they’re virtue signaling they might want to pretend to care about family time.
I don’t think Thanksgiving / Black Fridays are like they were 20 years ago for brick and mortar arms of a store with an online presence.
Now, all the normies shop online at home (and rarely on that day). The only people that show up are the insane, the bargain hunters, and the insane bargain hunters. They aren’t being lured in with a loss leader TV and then buying $399 in regular-priced toys. They are buying a loss leader TV, leaving the store, and buying the regular-priced toys online later.
20 years ago, most places was closed for Thanksgiving. The getting a jump on Black Friday thing by opening on Thanksgiving is relatively recent.
20 years is about where I pegged the start of opening on Thanksgiving. you can replace 20 years with whatever length of time is appropriate.
But Black Friday is as American as white supremacy.
Suppression of Black Friday is white supremacy!

Progressive Policies Wreck Everything
I laughed when I saw The Washington Post headline: “Minneapolis had progressive policies, but its economy still left black families behind.”
The media are so clueless. Instead of “but,” the headline should have said, “therefore,” or “so, obviously.”
Of course, progressive policies failed! They almost always do.
“If you wanted a poster child for the progressive movement, it would be Minneapolis,” says Republican Minnesota Senate candidate Jason Lewis in my new video. “This is the same city council that voted to abolish the police department.”
The council, which has no Republicans, spends taxpayer money on most every progressive idea.
They brag that they recycle most everything. They have a plan to stop climate change. They tell landlords to whom they must rent. They will force employers to pay every worker $15 an hour. They even tell supermarkets what cereal they must sell.
Despite such policies, meant to improve life for minorities and the poor, the Minneapolis income gap between whites and Blacks is the second highest in the country.
While that surprises the media, it’s no surprise to Lewis, who points out, “When you take away the incentive for work and savings and investment, you get less of it!”
I used to listen to Jason Lewis when he had a radio show, before he ran for office.
He’s totally right on this one, but notice the article points out there are NO non-Dems on the city council.
Not to worry though; Minnesota canceled it’s huge state fair due to COVID, but they’ve announced Black State Fair whatever that means.
Yeah, the mayor has been dem for the past 50 years or something like that, with maybe a couple repubs/independents for a few years. It’s interesting how when they say systemic racism, no one in the media asks who has been running that system
Of course we know the Party has our best interests in their hearts. All would be well if it weren’t for the kulaks and wreckers that the Party warns us about!

Sign Petition: If Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to leave, and the United States military does not remove him from office, I, the undersigned, will personally go to Washington and help remove him from the White House with my fellow Americans. https://join.tyt.com/removetrump/
Is that guy really as stupid as he is ugly?
I don’t know, he got Cortez elected to Congress.
Why would the military be involved in any case? We’re not even supposed to have a standing army, never mind a Turkish/Thai military that is constantly couping the civilian government.
Because they live in a fantasy land in their heads. Why is it so hard to see that regardless if he kicks and screams and locks himself in the presidential shitter, come Jan 20, 2021, if he doesn’t swing the electoral college votes, he ceases to be president and just becomes a trespasser on White House grounds.
Instead they think he will circle the military and barricade himself in and begin his reign controlling a Federal Government machine that barely likes him and barely follows his administrative policies.
They keep trying to goad into him saying he won’t leave, or he won’t respect the outcome, or some such but he never takes the bait. Meanwhile, it remains all projection by the people who can’t accept that he won.
They watched Seven Days in May?
They desperately want a military coup to remove Trump, and this is as close as they can get.

We are at a place where neither side is willing to accept the results of the forthcoming election. We already know how the left will react to a loss, and Trump has been saying his loss would be illegitimate since 2016.
Rational, cool headed people, would realize that a situation wherein we disolve the republic and go our own way would be the best peaceful resolution to this problem. But i’m afraid that everyone is bought into the need to utterly dominate their neighbor.
Stock up on toilet paper!
Still need to buy more ammo and TP.
And more mags.
I just ordered some stuff from gunmagwarehouse.com
Some of things I would have added to my cart were out of stock.
I used to make fun of people stocking up on gold. I said they’ll have to use the gold to pay the people they need to protect the gold.
Now I realize I need more ammo to protect my TP.
My TP defense ammo arrived this morning.
My case of 5.56 Nato arrived yesterday.
Who has 5.56? I could only get .223
I posted last week that SGAMMO had 5.56 at a reasonable price. I bought 2 500-round cases.
It was gone the next day.
Are you sure about that? I admit, I expected a lot more pushback on some of this draconian crap, but we’ve seen very little. What makes you think the “silent majority” won’t just go back to their everyday lives if Biden is elected and the draconian measures are lifted? I really want you to he right here, but its hard to see.
What makes you think a hard left Biden administration will lift any draconian measures? At least, not without replacing them with more draconian measures. His platform, after all, is basically a list of draconian measures.
A fair point. I was just thinking that if Biden were elected and immediately removed all mask mandates and cower in place orders, a whole lot of people who did not vote for him would be happy enough with that to tune the rest out.
Dude, we all have left hands. (Or at least most of us do I think)
You jest, but I am actually staying ahead on that now. Just opened the next 12 pk so a pack goes on the grocery list this week.
I think we have about a 6-month supply on hand now. I told my wife I would keep buying it until we have a year supply on hand.
We are not Czechoslovakia. And allegedly the people there didn’t even want to split the country–the politicians did. The next breakup in terms of peacefulness is the Soviet Union.
I don’t see any split that doesn’t end up as Swiss cheese, or with a (probably violent) “population exchange”.
November will be sad and stressful. Regardless of the outcomes in the election and whether most kids go to school, much of the country will be rather displeased with the outcome.
The most accurate prediction IMO.
But i’m afraid that everyone is bought into the need to utterly dominate their neighbor.
Yup.
Rational, cool headed people, would realize that a situation wherein we disolve the republic and go our own way would be the best peaceful resolution to this problem.
I read an interesting observation on divvying up the US:
If the US splits into two (or more) countries, who gets the nukes? I wish I could remember where I saw it, but the speculation was that any split of the US is not going to be friendly or even entirely peaceful, and that sets up a situation where nuclear weapons could be a flashpoint. None of the new countries are going to want to be nukeless (even the Deep Blue nation-state), and none are going to be happy that their neighbors have nukes.
Of course, the same is true of the rest of the US military and its stuff, but the nukes could be a different kind of problem.
Sign Petition: If Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to leave, and the United States military does not remove him from office, I, the undersigned, will personally go to Washington and help remove him from the White House with my fellow Americans.
And if he wins the election, will you promise to leap off a cliff into the sea with the rest of your fellow lemmings? Would you do that for us, Cenk?

Question time:
In the latest push for all masks, all the time, the propaganda wing has been fighting back against people who point out the early advice to not wear masks. They say we didn’t understand the virus well enough to realize it was being transferred as “aerosol” humors in the air. Our understanding has evolved.
How did they originally think it was being transferred? By radio waves?
Yes – 5G, duh.
Related.
First there was chemtrails, and now 5G, and next Starlink. This is how it ends!
“ How did they originally think it was being transferred?” Butt sex.
They knew, they just lied to manipulate you into not buying masks, because there was a shortage.
^This. And now they can’t admit it. They were trying to keep people from getting pissed and also to prevent panic. I remember seeing the various experts shrugging off mask use and thinking they were either full of shit or nuts.
Nice avatar, wuvwy Bwunhilda.
I’ve always liked the fat horse for some reason.
This doesn’t wash though. The recommendation against masks had been there for a decade. Furthermore that wouldn’t explain the advice against cloth masks since medical professionals wouldn’t be wearing those anyway.
Folks have this all wrong. They weren’t lying before and are telling the truth now. They were telling the truth before and are lying now. Because the masks serve a variety of purposes now, just few of them medical in nature.
The real secret is that anything but the N95s aren’t of any real use to the medical professionals either, but many medical professionals insist on them anyway.
Surgical masks are not used to protect the wearer in hospitals, they are used to “protect” (really, give the appearance of protecting) patients. They are used in surgery for the same reason the doctors wash their hands and glove up before surgery.
Right. Unfortunately even in RCTs involving post-operative infection rates, there has been no evidence of reduced post-operative infections for masked surgical teams compared to unmasked ones. In fact, most studies done showed a small but statistically insignificant increase in infection rates for the masked group. It makes sense that they _should_ work for that purpose, but so far there’s no compelling evidence they do.
From the very beginning, the masks were _assumed_ to be effective, they had never actually been tested to be so. Most of the tests that have since been carried out have generated extremely underwhelming results in support of them for any purpose. It makes some sense to mask up extremely symptomatic people in a hospital setting, because the risk/reward ratio is skewed so far in one direction. It’s moronic to require everyone to wear masks in a grocery store. The risk/reward there is skewed equally as far in the other direction.
They don’t know jack shit.
They assumed that it would stay on surfaces for some time, people would touch them, pick up the virus and then touch their faces. That’s why the initial advice was to wash hands and not to touch your face. That’s also why everything is wiped with Lysol.
100% correct, though the advice to scrub everything down all the time doesn’t go away… Leviathan means never having to say you’re sorry.
It’s also transmitted by telepathy – to be specific, by WrongThink. Thus BLM/Antifa “peaceful protests” are safe but anti-shutdown “riots” and Trump rallies are festering hotbeds of pestilence.
If it’s truly an aerosol, the vast majority of masks don’t do shit.
yep
The mask requirement will eventually be replaced with a vaccine requirement.
A Trust Stamp infused vaccine that is beyond Orwell’s worst nightmares. It’s being tested in Africa right now.
I really truly wish this is just conspiracy. Jesus that’s horrible.
The conspiracy guy at the gym told me about it last year. I thought it was all anti-vaxxer conspiracy stuff, then actual articles like that started showing up in the news.
It transfers the same as every other coronavirus. But this one is special for some reason.
And they have it all wrong anyway. The aerosolization is actually what makes the masks ineffective. The original transmission theory was large droplets being sneezed or coughed and then landing on someone else before gravity caused them to fall on the ground. Theoretically masks could help with this by reducing the distance the large droplets could travel. But smaller aerosolized droplets would just hang in the air and those pass through or come out the top and sides of the masks. Dr. Brosseau has issued an update in bold to this article that has been shared on here multiple times:
https://publichealth.uic.edu/news-stories/commentary-masks-for-all-for-covid-19-not-based-on-sound-data/
It only has 52 medical journal cites so it’s obviously not real science.
Thanks famous.

SJWednesday: Whatever You Say Honey
Gosh, what kind of organized, dedicated, well funded, mainstream movement could have been bashing motherhood and the traditional family for the last 50 years? Who could have done this?
If it weren’t for the hysterical contradictions, they’d have nothing.
We place the utmost impotance on motherhood, that’s why we need free birth control and abortions, and all women must have highly demanding careers and free childcare provided by the state! /herpity derpity herp durrr
Ultimately, it’s just an argument for why you should listen to mothers and not question their pronouncements.
Useful advice if you’re a husband.
It’s just proof that women always want what they don’t have and when they get it, they want what they had before, always. Cake and eat it too, let them eat all the cake.
Now do men in divorce cases involving children you you will realize that motherhood is the golden ticket to constant flow of government cheese.
You know who in America never gave up keeping motherhood front and center, keeping it at the top rung of the ladder?
White supremacists (like the real ones with pointy hooded robes). She sounds like a white supremacist.
there was that game once where you got a statement and had to guess SJW or stormfront
Feminism has diminished the value and perception of motherhood.

Battle of Portland?
We need free birth control and abortions, confirmed.
At this point, I’m okay with some late late late term abortions. And maybe some preemptive birth control (AKA spaying/neutering).
I was all for letting them eat the Tide pods, but since we have to protect the children, then I’m pro-late term abortion, up until at least the age of 30 years.
If it’s a battle, can we start using lethal force against the enemy combatants?
Helicopter rides but the nice kind where we just fly them over the border into their choice of either Canada or Mexico and drop them off.
it’s the nice kind because they splat on land instead of the ocean
But then we’ll get fines for littering.

“Get in the zone!”
Not sure. Probably shrug and do nothing, until the next time, where they will be even angrier, and probably burn down more black owned businesses that that low income people use to buy their medicine and groceries.
Well, if they don’t shape up, I will call the cops on them!
Were there any plans proposed that were decent? Hate to admit it, but I’ve sort of tuned out most of that crap for my own mental sanity. I assumed that the competing plans were going to be grand gestures that sounded good but did nothing vs some draconian plan that actually would do a lot of stuff, but most of the stuff would be disaterous.
Sounds like smoke and mirrors won out.
I don’t know that any state-level plans were ever discussed publicly. I think you are probably correct, but add in the third plan of “What is the minimum amount we can agree to in order to make it look like we are doing something, but not really doing anything”, which is what won out here.
Yeah it’s a problem that “police brutality” is used to lump things that aren’t actually police brutality.
George Floyd was police brutality.
Breonna Taylor was not police brutality. Breonna Taylor was the completely foreseeable consequence of a policy choice. A no-knock raid is completely asinine in and of itself, as a policy choice. There’s no amount of oversight, training, or equipment that can make it a good idea.
Eric Garner very similar. When the lawmakers decide “X is banned” what they mean is “Men with guns and clubs and pepper spray will apply force to people who do X.” Yes, there is a way to “professionally” throw a man in the cage for selling loose cigarettes, but the very law itself is immoral.
Rayshard Brooks is dead, bottom line, because this country acts like drunk driving is somewhere below rape and above theft as a crime, in large part because hysterical mommies made it a TOUGH ON CRIME issue that politicians could pander for their votes.
It’s always more laws, more training, more policies, more procedures, more paperwork and all of that means more money. The argument is never “We should have fewer petty laws on the books, we should leave the cops with the strict mandate to enforce common sense laws that stem from the natural principle that a crime has to have criminal and a victim, and they have to be separate people.”
Actually, I’d say Garner’s case is very similar to Floyd’s. That he was “selling loosies” was a post-hoc justification by the police. At the time of his death, they lacked probable cause that he was committing or had committed a crime.
Right, fine, but my point is that the conversation in government and media right now is:
“How can we professionally and humanely and competently throw people in cages for selling a legal product?”
It’s never
“The police should not be throwing people in cages for selling a legal product.”
George Floyd was a piece of shit who 100% deserved to be arrested that day. He did not deserve to be murdered.
Eric Garner didn’t even deserve to be arrested, even if he had been 100% guilty of the “crime” he was accused of.
Like, that’s my issue with police reform. Eliminating all these petty bullshit laws is never on the table, ever.
It’s like gun control “compromises”. Repealing gun laws is never ever on the table. The compromise is always “How much of your current gun rights will we take away this time, and how much will we leave for next time.”
I’m less annoyed by the lack of progress, to which I had grown accustomed, than I am to the same sort of people who were accusing us of wanting to live in their caricature of Somalia turning around and saying we didn’t care about this problem loud enough or hard enough or whatever now that it’s become politically convenient to pretend to care about it.
Most bad laws are popular, or at least popular enough to go unchallenged.
Most bad laws are popular
this is the alpha and the omega of our dilemma
And he didn’t actually have any loosies on him at the time. They used the fact that he had previously been caught selling loosies as justification after the fact.
Great take, and I agree wholeheartedly. Police brutality is just a subset of the real issues, and I would say probably a small one at that.
establishing commissions to study the issue.
The problem is as good as solved.
you will need an interdepartmental committee to study the results from the commissions. And the a work group after that. it aint that easy
Yesterday I had two political discussions/arguments with customers which is not typical as I usually avoid that topic. The first was a 77 year old retired mail carrier who was also a native SFer. We were both bemoaning what a shithole this place has become and he said that while he used to vote Dem he could no longer do that after seeing how bad they fucked this place up. He didn’t vote for Trump last time, but he said he would this time even though he thinks he is a horse’s ass. Ended up having a great conversation about that and outdoor adventures in the West. He added 40 bucks to my invoice when he paid me.
The second guy owns a property management company and goaded me into a politics discussion by asking me about the shutdowns and what I thought about them. He then went on a rant about how Trump caused the virus to be much worse here than it should have been. “He should have listened to the people who knew better in January and we wouldn’t be wearing these fucking masks now.” I pointed out that the Surgeon General, Fauci, the WHO and the CDC all downplayed the severity of the virus in January and he didn’t believe me. Within 30 seconds I had a quote from Fauci doing exactly that on January 23rd. I asked him if he wanted quotes from the others during January as well and he pivoted to Federal Agents “kidnapping peaceful protestors in Portland”. This is why try and avoid these conversations.
As, I think, Viking1865 pointed out, these “kidnappings” should be easy to trace down. Surely the “kidnapped” have, you know, names and identities and somebody, perhaps a reporter or journalist even, could go to a Federal courthouse and find out where they’re being held.
“This is why try and avoid these conversations.”
Stick with that.
Regardless of any enjoyment on either side, you both get muddy.
Yup, after the first friendly one I was off guard. I’m going on a yearly camping trip with friends this weekend and one of them has become quite the lefty over the last few years after becoming a nurse and getting exposed to the union propaganda. Good reminder to go collect more firewood if she starts any political conversation.
Similar situation for me, except we started with the Portland issue and me, being me, took the uncomfortable side of the Feds doing what they are doing because the Mayor has lost control of their city. His quote “Well Trump declared all democrats as fascist in his speech” Asked for his source and of course, it wasn’t that but rather rhetoric how there is a growing far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance. He of course complained that it was still a broad brush and doesn’t help. I asked do you think Obama calling a group of people bitter clingers or Clinton calling a group of people deplorable was any better.

Ya think?
I guess he subscribes to the “The only individual liberties you have are in the constitution, everything else is at the discretion of the Federal government”.
Look at Bleeding Heart Liberal leon!
Smart people understand that even the individual liberties that are expressly set out in the Constitution and the BOR are subject to “reasonable restrictions”.
What kind of crazy person doesn’t understand that?
Don’t forget they are also subjected to declared emergencies that require nothing more than the stroke of a pen by the numerous governors.
Hard to convey it, but read that in a uptick voice with enthusiasm.
You and your individual liberties is why we can’t have utopia, cause it’s all about you!
“as if I’m encroaching upon their individual liberties.”
Wonder why the fuck anyone would think that?
Meh, I have zero patience for those who think that the appropriate response to anything is to start anonymously threatening lives and families. That’s juvenile at best, psychopathic at worst. Both sides are guilty of it.
It’s also part of why we can’t have rational discussions. Social media contributes to a lot of it, but the severe lack of education in critical thinking and proper debate also does.
If someone is sending Fauci death threats from a cell phone, then the cops can find them. Guaranteed. You don’t think Apple or Google would cough up the location data in a heartbeat?
I don’t have much doubt that he’s receiving death threats.
In fact, I expect that the sheer number of death threats for all politicians and public figures across the board is so high (particularly right now) that it’s impossible to separate the wheat from the chaff. People are assholes.
it’s all chaff

For a lot of people, promotion just depends (or seems to depend) on time at grade. Getting fired may kind of prevent you from getting that promotion, though.
