Coughing again…This time with low grade fever! I hate to be #$@&ing paranoid about this, but I have to care for a Mom in her 80s and a Dad in his 90s. So, these will be sparse, while I go look for a rapid testing location.

Empaty = lots and lots of other peoples’ money.
I thank the taxpayers of the rest of the states for funding the corruption, lavish union pensions and politicians ability to steer contracts to friends, etc., of Illinois!
“Empathy” = Let’s punish those Trump fuckers! Make it impossible for them to do anything!
But do it in a way that brings unity and healing.
My tax bill is a prime example of why NYS is in such deep shit.
City/county pensions cost more than all city/county srvices combined.
Medicaid is more expensive than that.
School taxes are four times all of the above combined.
I have 13 lines on mine – 6 are other people’s retirement funds.
11 on mine, none are obviously other people’s retirement funds:
1. County general revenue
2. Schools – state
3. Schools – local
4. Municipal MTSU (basically services such as roads, mosquito spraying, fire/sheriff, etc)
5. Water management district
6. Port authority
7. Children’s Board
8. Transit
9. Environmental voter approved debt repayment
10. unincorporated parks voter approved debt repayment
11. County libraries
Im on a tax free NYC pension. Craziest thing about it is that if i had my wish i would have worked until i was 60. I had to retire and start getting my pension at 45. They said i couldnt do my job after my second surgery—yet i go the the gym every day and can still lift more than 95% of the guys/gals still working. What a country.
I could just cut out the middle-man and hand my wallet over to you.
Sorry Rywun, i didnt plan it this way.
Concealer, lady: look into it.
When I was a kid my dad banned the use of he word “hope” in our house, because hope isn’t enough. You have to do.
I’m beginning to feel the same way about “empathy”. Having empathy is fine, but it’s also cheap and often nothing more than theater.
I guess I should clarify. Empathy is cheap for the one exhibiting it. It’s expense for a lot of other people.
Progressives are all about empathy, until you ask them to actually show it for someone else. Then you get a very confused look.
Empathy = other people’s money + ends justify means
Fuck you, Beetlejuice.
Many, many people use empathy when they really mean sympathy.
I think this site provides a nice clean explanation: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Empathy_vs_Sympathy
Empathy is the ability to experience the feelings of another person. It goes beyond sympathy, which is caring and understanding for the suffering of others. Both words are used similarly and often interchangeably (incorrectly so) but differ subtly in their emotional meaning.
Empathy — Understanding what others are feeling because you have experienced it yourself or can put yourself in their shoes.
Sympathy — Acknowledging another person’s emotional hardships and providing comfort and assurance.
Sympathy without empathy is a dangerous combination. I would argue that all of progressive theory is based on sympathy without empathy.
They will force their solutions on people they sympathize with (for their own good) without having any concept of why those people reject the progressive solutions.
I disagree. In the normal course of events, MOST people can only sympathize with another who is going through something. My cousin’s wife is dying from the ‘vid (probably). Since I have not lost a spouse, I can’t possibly empathize, but I can have sympathy and express my hope that she wakes up, and tell him I am praying for/thinking about him and his wife.
I cannot empathize with a closeted gay person, but I can be sad about his/her situation.
I cannot empathize with someone who is so poor their cupboards are bare, because no matter how little money I’ve ever had, I’ve always had food to eat. But I can be sad about their situation and help put food on their table.
The problem is when people use the word empathy as a cudgel, which is what is happening on the left.
I cannot empathize with someone who is so poor their cupboards are bare, because no matter how little money I’ve ever had, I’ve always had food to eat.
I can. At one point, I was selling plasma (to two separate centers, which is a no-no) to get money to buy ramen.
Right. You’ve been there, so you can empathize.
I have not been there, so I can only sympathize.
You’ve either been there, or you have a highly trained emotional intelligence that allows you to accurately assess what other people are feeling based on preconscious cues. Most people can’t do that with anyone other than family and/or intimate partners. Really good salesmen and spies tend to have high levels of general empathy. The FBI Behavioral Sciences Unit operates based on having substantial empathy for serial killers. It’s rarely warm and fuzzy.
I did not know that. Very interesting.

I hope you are negative, and get well soon.
Thanks – rapid (15 minutes to results) test tomorrow at 3:45pm.
Hope it comes up negative for the sake of your responsibilities.
You’re a tough goomba, d00d. I’ve seen the photos from the forward positions.
Take a Ricola and sound the horn.
Wishing you the best, Swiss.
You’ll be OK, probably not the virus. Good luck with your parents.
Yeah, get better Swiss!
My son just got his results back. Negative, despite sharing a bong or a joint with someone who later tested positive.
Hood luck with the ‘Vid, man!

A homesteading group in which my wife participates got hit with the FB “moderation” hammer because they discussed “preparing.” The preparing is for gardening and canning and the shackles should, I assume, pass, but the whole group had enough. They migrated to MeWe.
Everyone knows preppers are crazy, right-wing, terrorist nutjobs.
” crazy, right-wing, terrorist nutjobs.” Yes, but not a prepper….
/Hides ammo and canned goods……….
Only nazis buy canned goods.
I have a garden,
“Whiteness fuels and dominates policy and practice in food systems. Whiteness permeates the food system in the ways it “articulate(s) white ideals of health and nutrition, offer(s) whitened dreams of farming and gardening that erase the past and present of race in agriculture, mobilize(s) funding to direct programming toward non-white beneficiaries, and create(s) inviting spaces for white people.””

This drivel passes for higher learning.
It’s a damned disgrace.
That’s just your whiteness talking.
/Professor Jaime Roberto
You know who else complained about putting the food under lock and key?
Capt. Queeg?
When Whitey stops farming/gardening S will really HTF. The economy is going to be where the action isn’t, with the businesses closed, Biden’s grandiose money schemes and limited production and distribution all those believing that they are the winners are going to be surprised. Nothing left to win.
Modern Monetary Policies are so old-fashioned. I wonder if a free market would improve things, didn’t some Massachusetts? governor try that 300 years ago?
I notice Walmart carries a lot of southern food. Even a bit of Caribbean.
That is some grade A SJW derp. This passage stood out to me, “Consequently, many historically white-led organizations find that their policies and programs fail to resonate with Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) communities.” Remind me again how well Michelle Obama’s school lunch program went.
I think he means home-canned, like with mason jars. What the Brits would call “jugged.” We call it “putting up” down here.
This past year canning supplies ground to a halt. We had to beg, scrounge and borrow to insure enough we had jars for honey production. We’re not talking big quantities, about 7-8 dozen. Now I have a standard entry on my shopping list when I go to Walmart/Big Box stores, check for jars.
Interesting business model they have.
Is it too early to sound the bugle-oo?
Seriously, going after preppers is on my shortlist of “shit’s about to hit the fan”
I think the algorithm gobbled them up..or at least that is all it is, cause ya, going after the preppers means something else is coming down the pipe.
Who would have thought that while fishing for tuna, casting a wide net would catch dolphins.

What a cunt. For someone who has supported Israel so strongly, you would think he would be less vicious towards the one President who has actually supported that country.
Heh – think again.
Speaking of, is Biden going to move the embassy out of Jerusalem?
Now that would be a tell. Hadn’t even considered it.
What does it say that Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and got multiple Arab states to recognize Israel?
I think it says our diplomatic corp is useless.
“What does it say that Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and got multiple Arab states to recognize Israel?”
Imma guess that, in ten year’s time, you’ll be hard pressed to ever find a history book that will ever reflect that achievement.
Trump sold the Ambassador’s residence in Tel Aviv.
He’s just jealous Trump is a better troll than he is.

http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/peace-and-prosperity/2021/january/10/a-nursing-home-had-zero-coronavirus-deaths-then-it-vaccinates-residents-for-coronavirus-and-the-deaths-begin/
WTF??
It was the only way to save them.
Two possibilities.
1. They assumed the vaccine was more effective than it really is and engaged in unsafe behavior that brought the virus in.
2. Well, I won’t even say it, it even sounds too conspiratorial to me. But we shall see.
The Covid outbreak in the nursing home started at the same time as vaccination. So many people were infected before they got the vaccine. Also, the vaccine isn’t supposed to work instantaneously.
Says the vaccination was a week before the outbreak, so another possibility is one of the vaccinators and/or support staff coming in to do it were infected.
The timing lines up. I think this would qualify as “irony”, no?
Yeah, sounds similar to that infected person who spread ‘vid at the hospital with her blow-up X-mas tree costume.
Va Capitol Police
@VaCapitolPolice
Per order of @GovernorVA, U.S. and Virginia flags are to be lowered to half staff Monday from sunrise to sunset across the state to honor the memory of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who was fatally wounded Wednesday when a mob attacked the Capitol in Washington.
But fuck that chick that was killed by a government goon.
NJ doing the same because he lived here once or something.
I thought Trump gave in and ordered them half-mast?
He did from what I read.
Maybe instead of a flag they can wave the officer’s bloody shirt

The Rocky Mount Police Department (RMPD) said they were made aware of two-off duty officers who attended the pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., on January 6.
In a released statement the RMPD said:
“The Rocky Mount Police Department is aware that two off-duty officers were present at an event in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, January 6, 2021. The Town of Rocky Mount fully supports all lawful expressions of freedom of speech and assembly by its employees but does not condone the unlawful acts that occurred that day,” the released statement said. “Based on the available information, the Police Department has notified federal authorities and the individuals that were present at the event are on administrative leave pending a review.”
So if you were anywhere near DC that day you participated? Fuck.
50 mile radius like other rules?
Unless they prove wrongdoing, that’s going to be a nice lawsuit.
Yeah it will go before a judge who is a member in good standing of the Ruling Class, who will rule in favor of the government.
How is it constitutional? The PD is a government entity.
I would never have thought the state would so giddily demonstrate to the right what a malignant entity it is, but I’ll take what I can get.
“So you ask me today: What is our state of the state? New York is suffering,” Cuomo said during an unprecedentedly brief 45-minute virtual address”

Put your big boy pants on and fix it Fredo.
“We will do what we did in the ’70s.”

Or, in the reality universe, you got placed under the oversight of a financial board that demanded you rein in the drunken-sailor spending that caused the crisis in the first place.

“So you ask me today: What is our state of the state? New York is suffering,” Cuomo said during an unprecedentedly brief 45-minute virtual address without the usual audience of thousands of people in attendance because of COVID-19.
“We expect basic fairness from Washington finally. With our new president, a new Senate and the House members, I believe they will do justice.”
Cuomo shut down the state, causing the suffering. Trump gave him everything Cuomo wanted, so I don’t see the lack of basic fairness. Yes, I have a handicap: a working brain.
Locals in the southern province of Nimroz on Sunday said the airstrike by the Afghan air force had resulted in the deaths of 14 civilians, but government officials denied the claim. Residents later brought the bodies of the deceased to the provincial capital in protest.

“The theme of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is ‘America United,’ despite deep divisions in the country, and will be focused on a ‘new national journey’ that the Biden team says will ‘restore the soul of America’ and bring the country together,” according to Fox News.
“Biden’s inauguration, set for next week, Jan. 20, comes at ‘a time of unprecedented crisis,’ according to the Biden team, and its inaugural theme ‘reflects the beginning’ of a ‘path to a brighter future,’” the outlet continued, referencing the official announcement.
“Our political divisions are seeking to tear us apart and continue to test the strength of our democracy,” the announcement read. “The moment calls for sober reflection and the mustering of our national resolve. It is also a moment of hope.”
“Everyone who doesn’t fall in line is a domestic terrorist.”
I see 2021’s Word is going to be unprecedented. Everything is unprecedented. Like I say, nothing occurred in the country prior to 2017 to these people.

“America United against people who didn’t vote for me.”

‘Cause fuck those Trump Guys!
The Clown Prince won’t swear in an NH state rep who happens to oppose him.
At the national level, a complete bomb. However, that’s not the point of this post. It is:
Why are you refusing to swear in and seat Ann Copp? She won her election as a Republican!
I got a call from her last week; she and I have known each other from years and we occasionally talk on the phone so I figured this was one of those “general” calls. It wasn’t.
We talked for quite some time and it was rather disturbing; here’s a lady that has been, by Gov Sununu, to transfer from Rep-Elect to Representative. To be lawfully seated with her peers to the NH Hall of Representative seat to which her constituents have elected her. It was a lot of information she through at me as she has tried hard to get what would amount to just a couple of minutes of Governor Sununu’s time to have her swear her oath in front of him. How petty is that?
How is that…allowed?
She’s refusing to be sworn in over zoom.
Article 85 of the NH Constitution requires, as I read it, oaths of office being administered by the governor in the presence of a justice of the state Supreme Court in the presence of both houses of the legislature. Note the governor’s oath is given by a justice of the state Supreme Court.
The State Supreme Court decided that the governor and the Executive Council didn’t have to take their oaths this year in the presence of the legislature as as mandated in the state constitution because a) it’s not an official act, and b) LIL RONA. Only the governor, the Executive Council, one state Supreme Court justice, the Senate president, the Speaker of the House (I think), and a few other officials were present at the governor’s inauguration and swearing in of the Executive Council.
Sununu did comply with the state constitution when swearing in those members of the legislature that were present for Organization Day. Those legislators that weren’t present were sworn in over Zoom because of Lil Rona. The rest of the legislature was almost certainly not on that Zoom call.
I’m not saying you’re wrong, or that the Clown Prince doesn’t deserve to be gibbeted, but whats-her-face makes it seem like her ego is involved:
I think there is a bit of ego involved.
Doesn’t matter to me. He should do his job.
“It was a lot of information she through at me”

Cuomo does need help: After unused vaccines are thrown in trash, Cuomo loosens rules
Have you seen what people have to do to schedule their vaccination? It is a mess that made the Obamacare roll out look smooth. Expecting 70+ year olds to navigate multiple steps via an online processes created this or at least lent to it.
I got a letter from VA telling me that VA will notify me when it’s cool to skip the vaccine.
You could just get out of the way, let people work, and stop discriminating.
“Our focus will be on small businesses on Main Street that aren’t wealthy and well-connected, that are facing real economic hardships through not fault of their own,” Biden said in a video that was posted to his administration’s official transition Twitter account. “Our priority will be Black, Latino, Asian, and Native American owned small businesses, women-owned businesses, and finally having equal access to resources needed to reopen and rebuild.”
“But we’re going to make a concerted effort to help small businesses in low-income communities in big cities, small towns, rural communities that have faced systemic barriers to relief,” he continued. “Think of the mom and pop owner with a couple of employees who can’t pick up the phone and call a banker, who doesn’t have a lawyer, an accountant, to help them through this complicated process to know if they’re even qualified or who simply didn’t know where this relief is available in the first place.”
The invisible hand is very poor at shaking out favoritism and graft.
Fuck them white male businesses, with their business privileges and all. Colored businesses would have been shot by now.

ZIP TIES!!!!
Two men allegedly seen in viral photographs of the deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol have been arrested, the Washington, D.C., attorney general announced Sunday. Larry Rendell Brock and Eric Gavelek Munchel were both allegedly seen in pictures of the riot occupying the chambers of Congress while wearing tactical gear and holding plastic zip ties.
——-
Brock was arrested Sunday in Texas and charged with the same crimes as Munchel, the Justice Department said. The department alleged that Brock is the man seen in multiple photographs from the riots wearing a green helmet, tactical vest and black and camo jacket while also carrying plastic zip ties.
Brock was identified as a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel by John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto’s Munk School. Scott-Railton told CBS News that he used a combination of facial recognition software and a group of experts to help identify the patches on his clothing. Brock’s identity was first reported in The New Yorker.
After feeling confident in his identification, Scott-Railton told CBS News, “I decided it was time to contact the FBI and refer the info to them.”
“I didn’t immediately go public, but worked with [journalist] Ronan Farrow and his team of fact checkers at the New Yorker,” he said. “I believe American public needed to know but wanted to be certain.”
Obviously planning to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and waterboard her.
Why else would you have zip ties? To hold doors open?
Kinky Sex,
/Yep
The zip tie guy brought his mom with him.
To fix the cable?
Mein nammen ist Karl, ich bin expert!

Lesson learned is to wear masks like Antifa. I’d say the fact that they weren’t wearing masks to prevent identification is a pretty good indication that this was a spontaneous action of the part of most of the participants.

Ivanka Trump is planning to attend Joe Biden’s inauguration on January 20 – much to her father’s chagrin – and is scrambling to save her aspiring political career as the White House plunges further into chaos and is being dubbed a ‘circus on steroids’ by insiders.
‘Ivanka is worried that her promising political career is in jeopardy and she’s doing whatever she can to save her reputation,’ a White House insider tells DailyMail.com.
But President Trump is up in arms about Ivanka’s decision.
‘He said it’s an insult that she would even want to engage with the crooks that are trying to bring him down,’ says the insider, adding that Trump said the family must stand together and put on a united front.
‘The president told his daughter that her presence at the inauguration will cost her thousands of supporters and would be the worst decision she could ever make,’ they say.
But Ivanka is convinced that by attending Biden’s inauguration she will come across as ‘being a good sport and will gain future supporters,’ the source says.
‘She said she has to protect her own political aspirations and isn’t about to muck it all up by attending her dad’s 2024 campaign kick-off which is set for the same day. She’s leaving that for her dad and Don Jr.'”

Woops! sorry about wall of text. Feel free to edit/delete.
Allegedly.
DM is even more amoral than 45.
Obvious if that’s true caveat, but how could any Trump family member think that they will ever be allowed to run for office ever again. Whichever socialist shark gets the SDNY job will put dozens of lawyers on the case to go over every single piece of paper with a Trump letterhead on it.
Their best case scenario is to live out their lives with high class security to protect them from mobs. 50/50 chance that when the bill comes due for the massive printing press explosion of the past few years that the Trump family ends up charged with economic high treason and shot.

Tomorrow, I’m introducing my resolution to expel the members of Congress who tried to overturn the election and incited a white supremacist coup attempt that has left people dead. They have violated the 14th Amendment.
We can’t have unity without accountability.
What does it say that I thought that might be a George Bush family member?
We’ve also got some extra Dominion machines on the way to those states to make sure the special elections go smoothly.
Fuck your “unity”, you diseased bitch.
If we say it was a coup attempt then we can say the violated the 14th amendment because reasons. GFY Cori Bush.
Amazing how the white supremacists didn’t manage to kill anyone, only the government did.
There was a cop who was killed. Hit in the head with a fire extinguisher.
30 days ago: What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Right now!
Today: Not so much.
I thought he died of a stroke?
The media can’t get their story straight. I assume he wasn’t murdered because they aren’t howling about it.
Broken heart. He couldn’t bear the thought that anyone would prefer the bad orange man over the shining savior, senor Biden and his trusty sidekick, Kam-ha ( which I assume will become her hip nickname ala, J-lo )
He was a Trump voter.
Don’t try and confuse the issue with facts, man. That’s sooo 5 years ago!
Was that confirmed? I remember the NYT deleted that story, and the last article I read the wording was pretty ambiguous.
They’ve certainly implied that was the case, but none of them have come outright and said so.
Riiiiiight, these ‘peaceful protestors’ who were escorted in by the capitol police and went on what at worst could be described as an unguided tour of the building actually killed someone. Next you’ll tell me the Browns beat the Steelers in a playoff game.
I don’t recognize your authority anymore. That was all lost when you shaved.
DC Police denied that happened.
The left demands silent obedience.
But I thought silence = violence. Man I am confused.
“Our political divisions are seeking to tear us apart and continue to test the strength of our democracy,” the announcement read. “The moment calls for sober reflection and the mustering of our national resolve. It is also a moment of hope.”
We wish we could unite the country, but it is infested with traitors and seditionists. This is not a time to lower our guard. We will remain strong and vigilant. Justice will come, swift and terrible, for the good of the nation.
“The moment calls for sober reflection and the mustering of our national resolve. It is also a moment of hope.”
“Ooh I hope we get to see some Trumpalo heads get cracked!”
Troy, NH closes town offices
“We will be open normal hours, however the doors will be locked for the time being. Sorry, but this seems to be required by prudence at this time,” the statement read.
The threats come after it was reported Police Chief David Ellis took part in last week’s protest in Washington, D.C., in which supporters of President Donald Trump turned violent and stormed the U.S. Capitol building.
Say, who might these threats be coming from?
White supremacists.
Refusing to enthusiastically accept the free and fair election of Biden is a crime on its own.
Fuck this shit is getting crazy! I think we might be witnessing the tail end of the American experiment. When you can’t vote out the crooks, you’re stuck fighting them. There will be fighting. The left desperately wants a fight and is doing all it can to bring it about. They will get the fight they want.

If this keeps up, the instability will be an invitation for China to move against Taiwan.
And Iran against Israel. And Russia against Ukraine. Possibly simultaneously.
Iran doesn’t have the reach, and is slowly being surrounded by enemies.
Russia already has moved against Ukraine – the low level war continues, with all sorts of covert aid (EU, US) going to Ukraine. If Joe helped the Russians, it would kill most of the US by irony poisoning.
I have thought that will happen right about when Senile Joe is getting sent off for pudding a nice sit in the sun with a blankie.
So Taiwan has less than 2 years to get nukes.
China needs a lot more sea-lift to pull it off. (They are working on it)
Taiwan has 6 nuclear reactors. I bet they could put together nuke warheads as fast as I could assemble my M16.
My dad, who was in the business at Los Alamos, told me years ago that Japan and Taiwan could build a bomb the week they decide they want one. So, yes.
Taiwan has 6 nuclear reactors. I bet they could put together nuke warheads as fast as I could assemble my M16.
I bet they (and Japan) already have.

Uffda. Doesn’t look like this year’s legislative session will be filled with Minnesoda Nice. But good for the GOP for pushing back against King Walz and the DFL.
Maybe Tim Walz should think about relenquishing his “emergency rule” powers and letting the legislators do their jobs?
Also, do you think I should hold my breath waiting for a fact checker to rate his statement about the mob wanting to kill the VP at the bidding of Trump?
They have been creeping that goal post. First it was a riot, then an attack, then sedition, then insurrection, and now attempted murder of the VPOTUS?
It’s more of the “Are they this dumb or this dishonest?” to me.
Let’s postulate that there was in fact a mob, lets say 200 strong, of zealous Trumpaloos who were 100% committed to armed insurrection, with capture and public execution of the politicians in the Capitol. Let’s say the plan was to breach, truss up, and drag out senior politicians and kill them on the steps of Our Sacred Temple of Democracy.
None of them brought guns? It’s the middle of winter, I can imagine quite a lot of hardware being smuggled in under winter coats. Where was it? If I was conspiring to commit a coup, I’d bring in more than a flag or a Q KNOWS THE TRUTH poster.
Maybe Walz should resign his governorship as he did his NG Sgt Maj position when the going got slightly sticky. I have a word I use for people like that.
Every Donkey in the US is going to be waving the
bloody shirtprotest picture…They were intent on killing all those people? Boy, that was one pretty ineffective mob then!
yeah the lack of explosives, serious weaponry, etc is a tell. They going to take over the capitol — how?
They were armed with flagpoles, I’ve heard. Oh, and zip ties, too.
Where’s Andrew Jackson when we need him?
He who wanders through the halls of the capitol are the rightful rulers. Its right there in the Constitution.
Ah, that secret ink portion is tricky!
Yeah if you can snatch the Speakers gavel and find enough fellow travelers to make a quorum you apparently wield the power of the US government.
Like, we need to be careful with foreign visitors to the oval office. The Pakistani ambassador could grab the red phone and yell NUKE ISRAEL NOW and StratCom just flips the switches and the ICBMS fly in seconds, no questions asked.
I laughed and I needed that.
The gavel is precious like the ring.
That is prime meme material right there!
There are people walking this Earth that believe that and it does make me laugh…then cry…then laugh again.
I thought “Minnesoda Nice” was just being passive-aggressive.
But enough about #Resist
How about we investigate the election fraud claims? I’d like to know if it’s normal to kick all of the observers out and then run the stacks of ballot through the machine 3-4 times. There’s more th
an a few other things that we ought to look at from this mockery of an election, too.
How do we find common ground when we have people who won’t admit that there was at least the appearance of electoral impropriety?
We don’t. Common ground requires a common understanding of reality, and we’ve lost that. Either we get it back, or one side consumes the other. That, is it.
Yes. When we can’t even agree what happened, right before our eyes, there’s no common ground anymore. Last week at work, my supervisor came into the morning meeting and said that the rioters, had they been black BLM folk, would have been shot on sight. I pointed out that BLM had burned multiple cities to the ground, killed, raped and stole all year and nobody lifted a finger. In fact the vice president actually shilled for raising bail money for them. The two crazy lefties ( the supe and one other ‘tard) just paused until I was finished speaking and went right back to bitching about all the racism. I knew then that I was leaving that place as soon as is practical.
Really? Bullshit! They were intent on walking through the building with little to no damage. Excepting of course the couple of odd birds wearing all black with hoodies trying to break windows ( who, BTW, were stopped by MAGA people) AND, the president did no such thing. He gave a speech which did not include any incitement whatsoever. The lies are just way too extreme. How does anyone not just look at the tape?
Well this certainly has been a time for reckoning – learning that my Democrat mom is insane about DJT and wants him IMPEACHEDEHDHHDDDDD!@!!!! I reined myself if from making some snarky comments.
And the posts I put up on FB – Glenn Greenwald, etc – about the dangerous path they are taking was met with stony silence from almost everyone I know.
But happy to see that a few folks from the old punk rock scene are calling this censorship out; so there is some hope for humanity. Old punkers either become Libertarians or rabid government apologists. A strange world.
Two coworkers told me in private chats that they wish that Parler was up so they could sign up as a middle finger to the Tech Bros. Neither of them have any social media presence now but were appalled by the blatant deplatforming.
I wouldn’t have pegged either of them as radicals before. They told me about it because they know I’m a crazy libertarian.
The only positive thing that has happened in the last year is the number of “normies” that have quietly come around to our way of thinking. People who used to tell me I was nuts have told me that they realize I might have been onto something.
Tundra is still incorrigible though.

False or incomplete justifications.
They are claiming the verdicts and sentences are false or incomplete?
I think they are just claiming Trump and Barr are executing at will….
Given the many, many, organizations out there opposed to the death penalty I highly doubt much of what is written in that arricle.
At this rate of internet censorship, we’ll be back to secret printing presses and hiding notes to be picked up at public parks.

Someone needs to notify the folks at Area 51 about #6, they’ve got an escapee.
#33.
A number of them are sporting crosses. Christian gals sure have changed since my youth.
Back in the day, when I attended a Bible College (B.A. in Religion! — my first of several degrees!), I noticed many young ladies who couldn’t even be remotely described as “Christian” wearing a jewelry cross.
As a “tell,” it’s pretty meaningless.
#3 has a lazy eye – amazing I got that high in the pic to look.
oh and #31’s hip is… uh odd.
Do any of the plugins work with the Brave browser? (And why can’t I seem to find any of them? I get a 404 error when clicking on links that are supposed to go to the plugins…)
Yep, at least the desktop version. Just download tampermonkey from the extension store. Then go here https://www.glibertarians2017.link/2017/02/27/monocle/
Thanks, mang. Works a treat.
Pardon if a silly question – Brave’s extension store?
Considering switching from Firefox, and I don’t want to do without Monocle.
Brave has a method of accessing extensions that I was under the impression you could only get for FF. Seems to work really well.
And so far, Brave’s smokin’ fast.
It also brought over all of my saved bookmarks and passwords etc. quite well, if occasionally in a different place (there’s no 1:1 mapping of how the two browsers present bookmarks to you, but I haven’t found it to be a big deal…).
It brought my bookmarks, passwords not so much.
It did my passwords flawlessly, but I did it this morning. If you did it with a previous version, perhaps it wasn’t bullet-proof yet. ???
Brave sent me to the Chrome store. Works. *shrug
Brave is built out of chromium which is the baseline for Chrome. So they utilize some of that API and why you get sent to the Chrome extension store.
At least I think that of the top of my head.
Thanks Trashy! I could not figure that out on my own.

I suck at chess. I have been trying for nearly 51 years to not suck, to no avail. I started playing on chess.com against other live sucky players.
So far, in 18 games, 9 of each color, I am 4-5 as white and 7-1-1 as black.
I know enough about chess to know that isnt right. I know the issue. To put it in soccer terms, as white I pkay a positive game, pushing forward. As black, I park the bus and counter attack. Against other players of my level, it works.
Also, my endgame is awful. Just horrible awful.
Tip the King, and move on….
I do the lessons and games on chess.com’s app. It really helps with finding the best move.
My issue is and always has been patience. Having the patience to evaluate the entire board rather than succumbing to whatever noise my opponent is making.
#metoo
And I am always afraid to recapture for some reason
I’m terrible at it too. Back in my high school days I would play against a classmate in study hall. He came to class stoned every day and he would kick my ass in chess. It drove me nuts. Apparently THC unlocks some sort of hidden analytical portion of your brain… I just say that as cover for the fact that I just suck at chess.
The chess nerds in my school were always kids that weren’t good at anything else. It’s like some weird savant skill. I was a good student and I completely suck at chess.
I always thought my first born was going to be a chess wizard but he doesn’t like rules and spent more time coming up with new ways to play chess to his advantage rather than the set of rules it comes with.
I already like your first born quite a bit
My eldest brother is a chess (and other strategy games) god. Unfortunately, he also has the emotional intelligence of a carrot, which is combined with a really ugly self-righteousness.
I don’t talk to him any more.

@EmmaKinery
Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Dan Bongino’s employer, Cumulus Media, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Trump — or face termination “immediately”
I saw a bit ago that Bongino said that was a lie. So, sounds more like a backhanded attempt to pressure the media company into doing this, than something they actually did. Or maybe their PR claimed they did it to this Emma person to get her to go away.
All three of them came out to say its a lie. WaPo is allowed to run false and possibly inciting articles

Replying to @ScottAdamsSays
I pledge allegiance to the official narrative. And I affirm that our election systems are the only digital systems that are 100% immune from hacking. I further affirm that there was no election fraud of any kind because we are not allowed to check.
Amen and awomen
Also Scott Adams: I fully support the storming of the Capitol and the cop who shot the chick was right.
Lehigh Univ. has voted to strip Donald Trump of the honorary doctorate they gave him in 1988. Meanwhile, the president who pardoned three people who shot up the House of Representatives wounding five congressmen; and pardoned a guy who killed a cop while trying to assassinate President Truman? According to Wikipedia, he has 57 prestigious awards and 22 honorary doctorates.
It’s all political slight of hand. These are people compelled to make sure they can change history so future generations will not call them despicable and childish cuntes.
And then there’s the guy who commuted the sentence of one of the Senate bombers.

lol. They took a phony recognition away from him that he never earned or deserved anyway.
who the fuck are these people who think they matter?
Hope you don’t have the vid Swiss. Hell, hope you are not sick at all and just got a bit of a cough as we used to call it in the before times.
The Kung Flu sucks when it is no worse than an annoying cold to you, but interferes with your obligations to those at risk.. Hope it is all a false flag and you are gonna be fine man.
Late to the party, but all the best, Swissy! My 82 yo mother in law has no fucks to give but I worry. Which is actually kind of retarded…
My father in law who is on oxygen, has heart disease and just had a cancerous tumor removed got the vid. Not a single symptom. My wife and I are relatively healthy got it, had aches, chills and lost our sense of smell. This virus makes no sense.
Why, it’s almost like it’s been designed to have symptoms that look almost random from one person to the next.
To be fair, flus and colds are the same way. Remember reading an article published on the CDC web page years ago about this.
For whatever reason, a healthy percentage of people just don’t get serious serious symptoms from a particular strain and THIS IS NOT PREDICTIVE of what will happen with the next strain.
It’s just a weird wacky world.
“It’s a wiggly world,” as a friend of mine is fond of saying.
I have an 82-year-old MIL. She got the ‘Vid back in February (before anyone knew it was on the B.C. coast). She was subsequently tested and had the antibodies.
For her, it was what she called a “nasty cold.”
Yeah, mine got pneumonia in early 2020. She is the highest risk of high risk people.
I have no fucking clue whats going on.
