Dropped our youngest off at VPK for half the day this morning. This afternoon my wife picked him up and took both kids to the zoo. Hopefully, they don’t get forced to stay at the primate exhibit. Kidding. But man, it has been quiet in this house for three… fucking… hours. I have missed silence. Badly. Also, you’ll probably have another Glibertarian doing links tomorrow. My MIL is moving closer (a good thing in our case) and the wife and I are going up there to help her start packing her house (which I assume means me moving heavy shit around all weekend) while my kids go to the beach with my parents. Its like normal has returned.

No secret that the Arabs and Persians do not get along.
Aren’t the Ayatollahs in Iran, the Arabs?
Negative, the two biggest ethnicities in Iran are Persian and Azeri (Azerbijianis).
I know what the ethnicities are.
The reason I say that is that I used to work with a Persian guy, I mean an Iranian. But he was always cursing about those damn muslim arab assholes. I thought he was talking about the Ayatollahs. I guess I assumed wrong.
Aren’t the Ayatollahs in Iran, the Arabs?

Coronaviruses are thought to spread mostly person-to-person through respiratory droplets, the CDC says. However, “it is possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object, including food or food packaging, that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes,” the CDC says.
Is it just me? If something is transmitted through droplets, of course you can get it by touching a contaminated surface then touching your eyes, mouth, nose.
no we live in the absolute dumbest times. This is the argument against the efficacy of masks, they are toxic breeding grounds that leave a trail of viral waste. I’m beginning to suspect 95% of people can’t handle the concept of tradeoffs.
Speaking of masks…
After @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris were briefed by public health experts, Biden says America’s 50 governors should institute mask mandates for the next three months to help save lives.
I’d be interested to see how they could even do that legally but like that even matters. Who knew the conservatives were right about sharia law being instituted in america all the women will have to wear burkas.
One report said Biden wants the mandate to include wearing masks outside. Can’t find that confirmed right now.
And, of course, the thread has all kinds of people declaring this “leadership.”
The federal government cannot do so. It should be by a 9-0 vote unconstitutional. They’d have to bribe the states with money: IE, mask mandates or you don’t get monies. And that would have to come from Congress.
“It should be by a 9-0 vote unconstitutional.”
Try 5-4 approving it, penaltax emanation of penumbra written by Roberts.
In the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts the mask mandate has been in place for the last 3.5 months. Nobody is discussing its repeal. On the contrary, it was recently expanded.
I walk around with a condom on my penis everywhere I go without a mandate.
3 months. That’s cute. If those two authoritarians get in power, you’ll be wearing a mask until they’re gone.
I just wonder how long it will be after they take office, that the travel restrictions take effect?
I’m moving next May or June, but if Trump loses, I’m seriously wondering if I should just take the financial hit and get out of here while I can still go. Can they get that done in less than 6 months with all the other over the top shit they’re pushing? Maybe they’ll get distracted with the door to door gun confiscation and forced vaccinations and I can make my escape.
I dunno but I remember them saying at least two months ago that the chance of catching the plague from your groceries was infinitesimal, so stop “washing” them.
Since it’s not about the virus, it should never have to make sense, and it won’t.
Its as if 100’s of years of virology knowledge suddenly disappeared and we started back at square one.
Is Immunity a Case of Rothbard’s Lost Knowledge?
Herd immunity is a taboo topic because it doesn’t advance the power-hungry goals of politicians.
Yeah, the knowledge didn’t just suddenly evaporate.
This is what 100 years of gov mandated progressive education leads to, people thinking the top chips can some how magically solve every problem with their science.
In fairness they used to just believe the top chimp in the sky could solve anything with his powers or the top chimp could solve everything with his powers. So ymmv
This 180 degrees out from what they have been saying and means that any mask less than N95 is basically worthless.
Two months ago the main vector was through touching surfaces where large droplets had fallen. Masks ‘worked’ by catching those larger droplets and by reminding you to not touch your face.
Respiratory vapor is not stopped by a layer of cotton/polyester/rayon.
Try running around on a hot day, all day, with a N95 mask on. I can’t even tolerate those things for an hour at a time. I wear one of the cheap comfy ones now because I’m 100% convinced it’s all on joke on we serfs, and when we were out last weekend, mid 90s, I thought I was going to fucking pass out from having that thing on my face.
Something from 93 years ago that reminded me of Dr. Fauci and the climate change assholes.
H.L. Mencken, September 1927:
Mr. Ayres seems to have a fear that the end is not yet – that science, having turned its back upon the moral orders of the world, will one day return to put it down, maybe by force – that is, we are facing scientific tyranny almost as bad as the old theological tyranny of the current political tyranny. “When science has becomne supreme,” he says in the the last sentence of his book, “any attempt to rectify its formulae will be persecuted as heresy.”
But here, I believe, he is simply judging science in terms of the crimes of philosophy. There is not the slightest sign that science, in itself, has any such malign ambition. Its aim is simply to establish the facts. It has no more interest in the moral significance of those facts than it has in the moral significance of a stroptococcus. It must be amoral by its very nature: the minute it begins separating facts into the two categories of good ones and bad ones it ceases to be science and becomes a mere nuisance, like theology.
Nevertheless, there is a certain uncomfortbale reason in Mr. Ayres’s fears. Science itself will never send him to the stake, but the quacks who hang about its flanks may one day try to do so. Such quacks are alrady numerous, and they tend to disguise themselves as scientists, and to be accepted by the world in that character. I point, for example, to the so-called hygienists, and especially those who are public job holders. Theoretically and by their own representation, these singularly cocksure men are scientists, actually they are simply moralists, and of the same lineage as Prohibition agents. The body of exact facts lying under their pretensions is of very modest dimensions, and so far as I am aware not one of those facts was unearthed by their own efforts. It is certainly by no mere coincidence they they are the only claimants to scientific authority in the whole modern world who make any demand that the police enforce their decrees.
Monty Python figured this out in the 70’s.
as an aside Cocksure is an amazing word.
Shows how little progressives have changed through the years.
In the US, if I have this right, they were slave owners, and then the KKK, then they showed up again as commies who called themselves progressives, joined the temperance movement and got alcohol banned, and then the invented eugenics. And now they’re intent on burning down and destroying the country.
Those guys must be fun at parties.
Reading the Hamilton/Jefferson stuff – if either camp was an intellectual forebear to our contemporary progressives, it was the Federalists. The belief in strong, central govt, the Bank of the US (when Congress was not given the power to charter corporations), and govt “investment” in developing the economy. That’s kind of a really weird thing with the Democrats now pissing all over the legacy of Jefferson. The big difference was the Federalists didn’t really think they were making people better, as every progressive from Wilson on has dreamed.
The Anti-Federalists were right. They were right all along.
” It has no more interest in the moral significance of those facts than it has in the moral significance of a stroptococcus.”
My, how times have changed. I remember when I was a little kid, 5-6 years old, the adults were always saying ‘one of these days they’ll figure out a way to charge us for drinking water!’, and they’d laugh. Not even, they’ll charge you for breathing air, you badly underestimated them.
Sloopy is already talking shit about asterisks, but the men will take the field and the boys will cower behind their masks.

Agreed. I’d rather click an HM link than that.
*fractures own knees to avoid choosing between the two*

Nope. I still do squats but quit the whole “do a little heavier” every time Starting Strength thing after a few episodes with my knees.

Re: “How much additional kit will I need?” from earlier
As with any other hobby there will be add ons. RCBS sells a pretty good kit, I have most of the same stuff but piece by piece. Scales, powder dispenser, etc
I counted the other day, have 17 die sets and a couple are multi, like .38/.357 and .45/.45 Winc Mag. Suthen probably has X3, his inventory is far more vast.
Don’t watch that. You can hear something snap and then his right knee appears to just slide right out of place, it’s ugly. I assume that bones were going through flesh. That can happen I guess when you’re holding up 1000 lbs.
As he attempts the squat, all seems well for a brief moment, before his knees buckle and Sedykh can be seen screaming in pain.

Holy shit, I’d forgotten what Dennis Miller looked like back then. I remember one of his great lines about “can you imagine what a cranky bastard I’ll be when I don’t have this hair”?
Think of the children.
“Let me just say this … you know everything I do is about the children,” she continued. “You know, having five children of my own, nine grandchildren, I worry about everybody’s children in America, of course. I have advice for them whether they want it or not. And one of the things that is so terrible is in this epidemic because we’re saying we have to assault the virus, we have to defeat the virus, contain the virus, stop the spread, and that means we have to have testing, tracing, treatment, masks, spacing, all the rest of it. And we especially have to look into the minority community, which is suffering an undue disproportionate impact of this virus. Think of this: a Hispanic child is eight times more likely to be hospitalized with the virus than other children. Eight times. An African-American child is five times more likely to be hospitalized from the virus than other children. I mean, this is a challenge to our conscience. But, again, they refuse to face the gravity of the situation and listen to scientists and tell us what we need to do. And with their school money that they have, they want to spend the overwhelming bulk of it, in only schools that open up.”
Yeah, everyhting she does is using children as collateral to run up debt.
She’s such a giver. What a good person.
The inheritance she has in mind for those children, truly mind-boggling.
“And with their school money that they have, they want to spend the overwhelming bulk of it, in only schools that open up.”
I just don’t understand their problem? Why don’t these parents just hire a private tutor. That’s what my kids are doing. Sometimes they come over to my house and put their lunches in my 10,000 dollar refrigerator right next to the 96 dollar gallon of ice cream that we share as a special treat.

Since your on the topic, why not bring up the rates of morbid obesity in children in those populations, and also let us know how many of the hospitalized children without other severe medical comorbidities were profoundly overweight? Nah, that’d be fat shaming, can’t have that.
I wonder what pct of those populations are uninsured. Maybe i’m off base here, but at least in the northeast ER’s are the go-to doctor’s offices for those lacking medical insurance. These days I suspect if you shown up at an ER with any sort of URI you’ve got a good chance of being hospitalized. And those populations will be highly over-represented.
It is certainly by no mere coincidence they are the only claimants to scientific authority in the whole modern world who make any demand that the police enforce their decrees.

“I think her policy perspective is very consistent with the need to help hard-pressed households that have been slammed by the pandemic,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “I think she’s focused on the right things.”

Sure he did.
The day after they think they located all of her stashed evidence, she sadly succumbs to despair.
She should be scared when she hears a strangely familiar voice say ‘you guys can take a break now *cackle cackle*’.
She’s understandably paranoid and it wouldn’t surprise me really if it’s true.
I’m picturing the prison scenes from Tango and Cash with Hillary as the Jack Palance character, stepping out of the shadows while all the inmates she’s paid off attempt to carry out an overly elaborate death.

Best chance is that their tests are shit.
The viral identifying material is still around long after the virus is technically inactive from what I understand. Maybe frozen foods are different though but indicated presence doesn’t necessarily mean you can catch it.

More nonsensical jibberjabber from Vox
I think something Keynes contributes to this discussion is that if your economy is not producing at its capacity — if you have people, if you have machines, factories, buildings that could be utilized and are not being utilized — the government has a real role where it can step in, particularly amidst massive amounts of uncertainty.
But that’s where you get into something really tricky, which goes back to our consumer preferences versus social purpose discussion. There are broadly two ways you could respond to this: One is to say we are going to offer more stimulus checks that are going to go out every three months as long as unemployment is above 6.5 percent. That’s just getting money into people’s hands. And here, there’s a debate over how much money to give, but no real debate over what you’re doing with the money.
The second is to say, we have all these people were sitting around at home. We have all of these folks who had jobs who don’t have them anymore. And we have this unbelievably pressing need to decarbonize our economy. So, let’s put those things together and announce a massive Green New Deal investment plan.
“What would Keynes do?”
Who gives a shit?
My response is: Fuck off, slaver.
They just jam the Green New Deal into every damn situation, don’t they? That’s just what we need in these trying times is an end to fracking and skyrocketing energy costs.
It’s just the latest tact of institute full socialism now. Same words different tune.
Shorter Vox: Why give people money for them to decide what to spend, when we could decide how they should spend the money and do it for them, and conscript them into a national service if necessary.
“We have all of these folks who had jobs who don’t have them anymore. And we have this unbelievably pressing need to decarbonize our economy.”
Giant treadmills? Chain them all to wheels? We could hire some other people to hold long braided pieces of leather to encourage them.
And you thought the Black Mirror episode where most people’s jobs were to ride stationary bikes all day to generate electricity was just dystopian fantasy.
Sounds like stoking the electricity plants with the bodies of the unemployed.

Dissolve the UN.
As U.N. Human Rights Officer Jan Arno Hessbruegge noted:
International human rights law establishes boundaries on how broadly domestic laws on personal self-defense between private persons may be drawn. States may not prohibit self-defense altogether, but in protecting the right to life they must also be sure that self-defense rights do not exceed reasonable boundaries. Certain initiatives to broaden self-defense laws raise serious concerns from a human rights perspective, notably “stand your ground” laws that permit the use of lethal force despite the existence of safe retreat options. Contrary to what has been asserted by some gun rights advocates, international law does not establish a right to firearms as a means of self-defense.11
The linkage between the right to self-defense and the right to be armed is a fallacy perpetuated not by human rights scholars but by lobbyists for the firearms industry.
You have a right to an effective form of self defense. I don’t care what anyone else says.
Fuckstick has no say in the matter.
Frankly, I don’t give a fuck what international law says about the matter. I bet the rapees who got victimized by the UN’s blue helmets wished they had a pistol.
John Roberts has a word to say about that.
“The linkage between the right to self-defense and the right to be armed is a fallacy…”
How so?
“The linkage between the right to self-defense and actually having the means to do so is a fallacy.”
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
Same gibberish we always get from people wanting to put the yoke on us. Fuck that guy with a firehose.
Basically if you’re young, handicapped, or a woman you don’t have the right to effective self-defense if you can’t be armed. Why does the author hate these groups I wonder.
If you’re old I mean. Jesus…

Because the first episode passed the admittedly low bar set (It caused at least one audible laugh), I decided to watch episode 2 of Lower Decks.
Good point 1 – they toned down Manic Psycho. I still don’t like her and the entire plot she was in with
BluePurple-Haired Soyboy was 100% predictable. It also contained all the cringe.Once again, the side plot was better than the main plot and housed all the actually funny bits. It managed a few laughs and one actual guffaw, but is also forgettable to the point where I had to think to remember what the joke was after having just finished the episode.

Said it before. When the Karens flip, and they will, they’ll be berating people for wearing a mask. Some whiny ass person laying into an allergy sufferer or someone immunocompromised because they don’t think anyone should wear a mask anymore. Individual personal choice is dead. Mobs rule.
Dude, the latest thing the fucking insane white women of the country have latched onto is that MASKS LEAD TO CHILD TRAFFICKING.

This is not good.
The elite always sit in their ivory towers tenting their fingers and smiling to themselves then shock and disbelief when the rope shows up.
They knew damned well they were crushing the best economy in history and impoverishing millions when they started this nonsense. Hunger has a tendency to help people pull their heads out of their asses and catch on and when they do…
Unfortunately, I’m not seeing much resistance.
We dont have insurrections because people have too much to lose. That is changing very rapidly.

People are driving across Texas to get 20$ worth if groceries? Bullshit. I’m not seeing a bunch of broken down hoopties in those lines of cars either and I’d wager dollars to donuts everyone of those people have cable and internet for their 50″ HDTVs. Absent the politicization of Tom Hanks Disease these people would be ridiculed for taking goods meant for truly needy people just because they made bad decisions.
Something‘s off. I find it hard to believe that there’s only one food bank in all of Texas.
There’s an entire class of people out there who don’t know fuck all about personal finance, or can’t be bothered to discipline themselves to live within their means. I have some sympathy, because been there done that, but when you’re queuing up at the food bank 2 weeks after uncle sugar turns off the spigot, maybe it implicates more than just the macroeconomic situation.
On the one hand, the article wasn’t laden with anecdotes.
On the other hand, they missed the chance to find someone from, oh I don’t know, at least Sherman or Palo Pinto or Palestine who made the drive if they wanted to make that case.
I spoke to my mother in Copperas Cove a couple days ago. She said nothing is shut down, restaurants are open for dining and nobody is masking unless they go to Walmart.
Seriously. Is gas free in Texas now? You can buy a lot of food for the fuel cost of driving across Texas and back.
I was going Meijer today around lunch time, and the right lane of a State Route was nothing but standing cars for at least 1/2 mile. I couldnt tell what was going on- funeral procession? Construction ahead?

Speaking of revolting peasants
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan asked the state Supreme Court to reverse the decision of a King County circuit court judge that allowed a recall effort to move forward against her, which could result in her expulsion from office.
Durkan, a Democrat, was called out by five Seattle residents who filed a petition seeking to recall her because of how law enforcement officials have responded to protests this summer, according to The Seattle Times.
Durkan reportedly asked the circuit court judge to reconsider the decision, but the request was denied.
The state’s highest court is now being asked to render judgment after a notice of appeal was filed on Wednesday, The Times reported.
The petitioners in turn asked the state Supreme Court to reconsider two of the charges the judge initially dismissed and to broaden their original charges against Durkan.
Their patience is not infinite, after all. Maybe somebody in Portland will step forward.
I pray that her goose is cooked. Sane people would run her out on a rail. Next, get rid of the DA’s facilitating this chickenshit commie insurrection.

And they will vote democrat, I don’t care if it’s Hitler reincarnated running. The nicest people, but also 100% proggy brainwashed and naive as you can get.
No one is saving Portland, or Seattle, it’s over.

Waitwaitwaitwait…an ethical cop???????
Probably just someone that just hates the cunte, because she’s a cunte.
This is her underling, a male piece of leftist shit.
Which is even scarier to me. It’s one thing for Soros to handpick his DAs, but I was under the impression that the people in the office were civil servants. Now, naturally civil servants will tend leftwing, but the idea of a whole fucking building full of commie DAs and ADAs scares the absolute shit out of me.
I meant the cop, not the prosecutor. I would expect DA’s and piggies to be tight though. But yeah, commies in the justice system are one of the biggest problems.
Did anyone have any doubt that the St. Louis DA is hopelessly corrupt and an idiot?
Chances of disbarment?
The helo service looks an awful lot like a hobby farm to me.
Absolute immunity boyeeee!!!
Wow.
After Biden strokes out and Harris takes over, VP Kim Gardner.

Prima facie sex discrimination remains legal.
Prima facie slavery, too.
I’m willing to compromise: no voting for anyone who’s not registered for selective service.
Fuck off slavers. I hope Lewis Hershey is burning right now.
Hey, discrimination it totally OK if you do it for the right people or to the right people. How do they square the circle on this one?
I’m addicted to Chunk the Groundhog
Chunk is addicted to my garden. Gun glibs cordially invited over for target practice and beer. Will post videos.
I never really minded donating 30% of the crop to the local critters. However, the fucking woodchuck would wait until the lettuce was just right and destroy the entire patch. Not eat a few heads – shred the whole crop.
My wife is a tree hugger and our gardening Bible was Rodale – plant marigolds in the tomatoes to keep the tomato worms away. Rodale’s advice on wood chucks? Shoot them. It shot two of them and we never had anymore probems.
We lived in MA at the time and when my wife told the folks at work what we did over the weekend her colleagues were all “Shot it? Like with a GUN??? Your husband owns a GUN? How does he know how to use a GUN?”
“67-26 in favor of mandatory mask laws, with 50% of the public strongly supporting them
You can say whatever you want about the science of masks, they are *popular* and we are less than 100 days from an election that could destroy the conservative movement”

Trump put on a mask for a reason.
Funny how polls always seem to parallel the prevailing opinions of the ruling class.
Amazingly, the support rises the more educated you are.
(And by “amazingly” I mean “not amazingly at all”.)
I don’t think in human history There has never been a more educated credentialed class of complete retards than we have now.
And the left is proud of it. Top Men are smart. Only stupid rubes deny Science.
And it makes complete sense that everyone coming out of a university with a degree today are uber liberal. Because they drove out all of the conservatives. And if any are left and they’re working in an academic environment, they don’t dare talk about it.
So there you go, 100% of highly educated people are liberal.
It is interesting how the “strongly oppose” doesn’t change nearly as much though, while the “strongly support” shoots through the roof. The authoritarian impulses of educated lefties runs like clockwork.
Land of the not free home of the not brave.
As often as they’ve portended the end of the Republican party and the conservative movement, I wouldn’t be too concerned if I were either. All you’re going to do is make them hate you more and be more resolved, dummy.

I’ve been mostly offline for a week with a torn cornea thanks to a literal sharp stick in the eye. I don’t recommend it.
Although I did get some laughs from my Japanese friends when explaining what happened as a “dad joke”.
気のせいじゃない。木のせいだよ！
Google translate is…not helpful
I’m guessing the word play of “ki” of the two different kanji.
“Ki no sei” is a set phrase for “imagination”
Ahh…
*scribbles more notes*
The first part of each phrase sounds the same.
(My) Imagination
The tree’s fault
So a loose translation would be, “it’s not my imagination. It was because of a tree.”
Sure it is…
Eventually, through some clicking it translated it to:
Actually it’s the exact opposite. Japanese does not machine translate well.

Sorry. Healed up?
Just about. Thx!
Murphy’s Law of living alone: every time you sit around in your underwear, someone will unexpectedly knock on your door. Every. Time.
And? Answer the door. Do it!
Uh, that is what the door robe is for ?
You answer your door?
Never. Unless it’s Uber Eats.
By the time I got my pants on, they were gone. No note, no package delivery.
I can’t tell you how many times someone has knocked on my door, thinking it was someone else’s house. I think I need a more off-putting “welcome” mat.
Glibs should sell FUCK OFF, SLAVER welcome mats?
Maybe if you closed your curtains that wouldn’t happen?
Man, I live in Virginia and all my windows face due east and it’s August. My curtains are WWII London level blackout.
Then you should look for the hidden creep camera. I’m trying to tell you it ain’t coincidence.
I only get a knock once in a while, not every day. ?♂️
Living in the middle of nowhere, the only knocks we get are from the rare times it’s UPS or FedEx delivering something.
My neighbor walks my dog, so she just comes up every day and lets herself in, so I’m wearing clothes most of the time. Today I played basketball and was overheated, so I stripped down as soon as she left. So of course, someone knocked.
It’s also always when I’m at my most chill.
Hawt.
When you call the hot pizza delivery guy and then disrobe that’s bound to happen.
Lift one slat so all they can see is one of your eyes and growl “What do you want?!”
For a new “welcome” mat, I’m thinking: “this is not the house you’re looking for”. Or “you must be lost”. Or “your GPS steered you wrong”.
(I can’t have profanity because there’s kids on my floor)
Just be honest. “I’m in my underwear”. Decent minded people will just keep walking.
I used to have “GO AWAY” and a old buddy has(d) “Do you have a warrant?”
How about a picture of the T-1000 in the helicopter with “Get. Out.”?
In the olden times when people smoked and one was allowed to do so in public places, the trick to making a bus come to the bus stop was to light up a cigarette. Wouldn’t be more than a puff before it rumbled into view.
but the men will take the field and the boys will cower behind their masks
Well in the case of Penn State, their team will be cowering behind the boys in the shower.
Everyone knows (esp Sloopy) that this is just panic over the prospect of being beaten by the Golden Rodents of THE U of M this year.
The Stannous Gophers?
At least Penn State fans won’t have to be mourning yet another loss to the Buckeyes this year.
Not Minnesoda Nice
The background for this story is that the GOP in Minnesoda only controls the Senate. The GOP has tried several times to end Gov Walz’s one man rule and gotten no where. Walz has not even pretended to work with the legislature. So yesterday, the GOP refused to confirm Walz’s Labor Secretary which pretty much meant she was fired. The DFL and Walz have gone apeshit at the pushback.
The story contains a juicy bit of dirt sent anonymously to a friendly reporter (what reporter isn’t a friend of the DFL?).
Bonus Glib points for the John-O using principals instead of principles
Viruses are not living organisms. So, this is the person setting public health policy?
*facepalm*
Technically, they are parasitic living organisms – they reproduce copies of themselves using DNA – that have dispensed with spending energy creating metabolic tissues in favor of hijacking those from their hosts
They are molecular remnants from living cells that have died. They are the biological equivalent of junkyard litter. No metabolism to speak of. They dont live or do anything at all. That’s my story and I am sticking to it.
*If do manage to find evidence of life on Mars is it s toss up in my mind whether we find nothing but fossils and viruses (dead world) or some living slime growing under the surface.
Both sides have been extensively argued on this. Essentially you’re both right, you can say they are either living or nonliving. Such is (or isnt) life.
Probably not. They are some shit stain press flack trying to get a mob stirred up against the GOP hoping that they will go back into the fetal position.
Hopefully they will understand that most people in the state are tired of Walz and his never ending emergency powers. The ones who aren’t are all in heavily blue districts you will never win.

Seriously.
Salesforce – shocking.
Salesforce, the solution to nobody’s problem
General Motors already makes shitty vehicles so they may as well.
Too bad about Albertsons. The infections in corporate America run deep.
Salesforce is no surprise. Besides being a gun grabbing POS, Marc Fuckface is an asshole and his company pumps out garbage software.
Benioff’s connections got his company’s hooks into the Fedgov during the Obama admin. AFAIK they’re still using Salesforce widely.
The sales dipshits at my company are apparently in love with it as well, as though it was some sort of magical revenue generator if they just fuel it with enough leads and activities.
Salesforce is indeed garbage, but so are all CMS packages. They’re basically ransomware that you pay to infect your own systems.
As expected, antifa criminals have lost their lingering fear of cops. Especially now that they’re even unlikely to be arrested, let alone the revolving door of immediate release. Shoving cops and getting away with it.

LOL
What was the name of that movie….oh yeah, There Will Be Blood.
Keep setting up those dominos and eventually one is going to fall down.
BUT IT WAS FEDERAL SHOCK NAZI STORMTRUMPERS THAT WERE CAUSING THE VIOLENCE
All I’m seeing is the cops clearing a stairway, and arresting some one (presumably a protester) and a bunch of people filming it, where is the cop shoving? and who got away with what?
The revolution will be tweeted.
This all comes down to one thing, these useful idiots don’t need to work to be fed or housed.

You the man Fauci, keep up the good work! Just ignore the rest of the shit he said though.
First fucking sentence. Shove the politics up your ass.
Yeah and by win they are referring to the deaths of people in nursing homes.
“Win for Trumps critics” is the death of old people. Yeah. OK.

Oooooooh and 62 grainers at that. Yum.
I thought sportsmans guide was no bueno.
Does anyone have anything positive to say about them?
I have no experience with them. That’s good to know.
I’ve never ordered from them.
Gosh, $20K+ a student doesn’t go as far as it used to.
Flaking lead paint at a school. Now there’s something to actually get spun up about.
I wonder what they’re doing with those delicious paint chips.
Feeding them to the children to make them stupid and compliant.
Whatever happened to a good old 12 pack of wax crayons? All the flavor and none of the heavy metal poisoning.
Found the Marine.
To be fair, they’ve only had four or five decades to fix it since it was discovered that lead is no bueno.
What’s all that about “too important to be left to the market”…?
See also: the public housing that is literally falling apart to the tune of several billion dollars a year.
The Republicans keep denying them the funding though.
I am skeptical. I would swear lead paint for walls has not been made for many decades. The only true lead paints made today are artist’s paints.
Oh look: The United States’ Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) banned lead paint in 1977 in residential properties and public buildings (16 CFR 1303), along with toys and furniture containing lead paint.
Someone is full of shit. Another zombie boogeyman.
It’s not uncommon for inner city schools to have never been remediated. The suburbs are generally lead free these days.
You have to understand that literally zero dollars are spent on maintenance for these buildings. That paint probably dates from the fifties or sixties.
This looks like a nice drive

Me neither. I’d get shot.

Be careful going through Sturgis. I hear the corpses are piled in the streets 10 deep.
I know, right???
Maybe there will be some strapping beardos with robust immune systems left, though
Stay off of I-90 since it is meh. The route through the middle of the Black Hills (385) looks good. You can always just swing south to Sturgis as a side trip to see the piles of bodies.
I figure by the end of the day, I’ll just want to set the cruise control and get back to RC on I-90
US385 runs through both Deadwood and Marathon TX (Big Bend). What an intriguing pair of towns.
I could do 385 if I’m feeling perky. But usually at the end of the day in a strange place, especially if there’s been socializing, I just want to get back to home base and have a cocktail.
Just came through there last week on the way back from Montana. If you want to see Rushmore take the loop to the South. Also 16A drives through a gorgeous valley with lakes and granite boulders. Lots of happy Harley riders having a grand time without helmets or masks. Good to see.
I’m having trouble deciding between Devils Tower & Rushmore. I’m only there 4 and 1/2 days, so I gotta pick one or t’other.
The tower is a little off the path but more impressive to me than someone defacing a granite cliff.
Off the path is never a problem for me
Devil’s Tower is my definite pick. It is kinda out there but the views from the top are great. There is a trail around it and you can watch the climbers. Plus by being on a trail you have left 95+% of the people behind.
I love the Black Hills. Take some of the gravel roads out to the Badlands too.
Wall & Badlands is on the itinerary
Also going to hit up the SD Air & Space Museum, and maybe Mount Rushmore depending on crowds.
Tryna look at the satellite to see if there’s any spotting locations for Ellsworth in case they’re doing training exercises when I’m there. Looks like the museum parking lot os as good a spot as any.

Good video. This mask thing is really messing people up. I was hiking in the mountains last week and encountered idiots wearing masks at 10,000 feet and still glaring at me and turning away as I passed them on the trail. F’ing insane.
