Former President Sues Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube in Desperate Plea for Platform
After getting “canceled” by them earlier this year, Donald Trump has announced a trifecta of class action lawsuits against Twitter, Google, and Facebook, thus generously giving Americans the opportunity to join our former POTUS in his valiant mission for personal revenge.
The lawsuits (embedded below), which were filed in federal court in Florida on Wednesday and list both the companies and their respective CEOs as defendants, are being supported by the America First Policy Institute, a political nonprofit culled together several months ago by former members of the Trump administration.
Trump himself announced the suits in a “press conference” held at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Wednesday. The club was suspiciously styled to look just like the White House.
“We’re asking the US district court for the southern district of Florida to order an immediate halt to social media companies’ illegal, shameful censorship of the American people,” Trump said, standing at a podium, behind which was what looked like a fabricated Pennsylvania Avenue soundstage.
As a worshipper of chaos, I approve of this move. And The Hair might start Tweeting, at least under his own handle.
It’s unfair to blame dementia given that Biden has always sexually inappropriate, creepy, oversharing, and just generally off.
This is a 1974 interview, during Biden’s first term in the Senate.
Death and the All-American Boy
How did an unknown attorney with only two years’ experience as a county councilman manage to topple Delaware’s firmly entrenched 63-year-old Republican Senator Caleb Boggs? Boggs, a two-term Congressman, two-term governor, and two-term Senator, wanted to retire in 1972; President Nixon persuaded him to run for a third term, suggesting that he resign after a year. Then Nixon planned to appoint Congressman Pierre DuPont to Boggs’ seat, keeping Delaware on the Republican side of the aisle. Biden spoiled the game plan. He was unknown—his statewide recognition factor was eighteen percent, compared to Boggs’ 93 percent—but he defeated Boggs in 1972.
Biden had little time to savor his victory. The week before Christmas 1972 he was in Washington putting a staff together. His wife, baby daughter, and two young sons were driving home on a highway west of Wilmington after shopping for a Christmas tree when a hay truck hit their station wagon. The car was thrown over an embankment, and Biden’s wife and daughter were killed. The sons lived—four-year-old Joseph, known in the family as Beau, was in traction for weeks. Two-year-old Hunt was hospitalized with a serious head injury.
Biden was devastated. He wanted to resign. Majority Leader Mike Mansfield persuaded him to stay, promising him several prestigious committee assignments. The Senate passed a resolution allowing him to be sworn in at the hospital bedsides of his sons. That was more than a year ago, and at the time he wasn’t sure he’d be able to stay in the Senate through 1973. He said he would resign if his Senate duties took too much time away from his sons. “They can always get another Senator, but my boys cannot get another father.”
Biden says he no longer allows himself the luxury of long-range planning, but he enjoys the prestige of being a Senator and seems committed to finishing his six-year term. In fact, he says he might consider running for President. “My wife always wanted me to be on the Supreme Court,” he says. “But while I know I can be a good Senator, and I know I can be a good President, I do know that I could never be another Oliver Wendell Holmes. I know I could have easily made the White House with Neilia. And my family still expects me to be there one of these days. With them behind me anything can happen.”
…
Neilia, the beautiful blonde he met during a college vacation in Nassau and married during law school at the Universityof Syracuse, still dominates his life.
His Senate suite looks like a shrine. A large photograph of Neilia’s tombstone hangs in the inner office; her pictures cover every wall. A framed copy of Milton’s sonnet, “On His Deceased Wife,” stands next to a print of Byron’s “She Walks in Beauty.”
In his office in the New Senate Office Building surrounded by more than 35 pictures of his late wife, Biden launched into a three-hour reminiscence. It wasn’t maudlin—he seemed to enjoy remembering aloud. He was the handsome football hero. She was the beautiful homecoming queen. Their marriage was perfect. Their children were beautiful. And they almost lived happily ever after. “Neilia was my very best friend, my greatest ally, my sensuous lover. The longer we lived together the more we enjoyed everything from sex to sports. Most guys don’t really know what I lost because they never knew what I had. Our marriage was sensational. It was exceptional, and now that I look around at my friends and my colleagues, I know more than ever how phenomenal it really was. When you lose something like that, you lose a part of yourself that you never get back again.
…
“Let me show you my favorite picture of her,” he says, holding up a snapshot of Neilia in a bikini. “She had the best body of any woman I ever saw. She looks better than a Playboy bunny, doesn’t she?
“My beautiful millionaire wife was a conservative Republican before she met me. But she changed her registration. At first she didn’t want me to run for the Senate—we had such a beautiful thing going, and we knew all those stories about what politics can do to a marriage. She didn’t want that to happen. At first she stayed at home with the kids while I campaigned but that didn’t work out because I’d come back too tired to talk to her. I might satisfy her in bed but I didn’t have much time for anything else. That’s when she started campaigning with me and that’s when I started winning. You know, the people of Delaware really elected her,” he says, “but they got me.”
Zombie-faced dictator rules island nation bony fist
New Zealand has dismissed suggestions it should follow in Britain’s footsteps to “live with” Covid-19, saying the level of death proposed by Boris Johnson would be “unacceptable”.
If cases in Britain explode as a result of the lifted regulations, New Zealand may also consider putting the country on a no-fly list.
On Monday, Johnson announced plans to scrap regulations including on face masks and social distancing by 19 July, saying that Britain must “learn to live with” the virus. He said Covid cases would likely reach 50,000 a day within a fortnight, and “we must reconcile ourselves, sadly, to more deaths from Covid”.
“That’s not something that we have been willing to accept in New Zealand,” the country’s Covid-19 response minister, Chris Hipkins, said at a press conference alongside the prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, on Tuesday.
“One of the things the UK government have been very clear about [is] that there will be a spike in cases, potentially thousands of cases a day. There will be more people dying,” he said.
“We are likely to see more incremental change than dramatic change where we wake up one morning and say: ‘We just go back to the way things were before Covid-19.’”
Ardern, asked whether the country would accept deaths from Covid, said: “Different countries are taking different choices.
“The priority for me is how do we continue to preserve what New Zealand has managed to gain and give ourselves options, because this virus is not done with the world yet.”
Director-general of health, Ashley Bloomfield, said on Wednesday that New Zealand would be “watching closely” and could place the UK on a no-fly list if cases grew out of control.
Ah yes the libertopia of New Zealand. The Labour party gave us Roger Douglas and decades later Ardern.
Don’t understand how a nation that can produce such good rugby players can be absolute pussies.
Same way England did. Kill off a lot of young men in two wars and embrace increasing socialism for 70-100 years.
Don’t worry. The largest population in NZ are still free, the sheep. Now they human sheep, not free. And don’t want to be.
Jesus you’re tedious. Every time you show up you ascribe libertarianism to some straw man and then expect us to defend it. Just fuck off, Winston.
Fuck gizmodo and the rest of the festering corpse of Gawker Media.
They should all have been put to the sword as a condition of the Hogan settlement.
Keep up those lockdowns New Zealand, there are no side effects.
I was on a work call earlier, and someone brought up that they were still wearing masks even though they were vaccinated so they didn’t catch a cold (like they had in years past). They said this immediately after complaining about a cold.
Hahaha. Hilarious. I wouldn’t have been able to resist. “Wait a second, didn’t you just say you had a cold? How is that possible with the mask?”
It was my boss, so probably not the best time to point out issues like that.
Of course, I also dodge when some of the more… ‘vid terrified ask how things are in Ohio. I mention we’re opened back up, they generally respond in shock and ask if everyone’s gotten vaccinated, and I just respond that we’ve opened up with no more restrictions.
I would shock them and say I don’t know anyone that’s been vaccinated.
Darnned HIPAA rules. The government needs to do something about that.
Yeah, in that case best to let it slide by. Even here in the People’s Republic we are pretty much back to normal going on almost a month now. There’s still die hards wearing their masks everywhere, but no where is requiring them. The big thing will be if schools require the face diaper in the fall.
A week now with us. Gov. Brownshirt has decided we can have our freedoms, even though we failed her and didn’t hit the magical 70% threshold. No matter that the number of cases and deaths are falling like stones. All that matters is the vaccine.
Our fifth week of fweedom here in Ohio. We didn’t hit the threshold of vaccinations or cases per 100k residents, but DeWine graciously allowed us to get back to normal (three weeks before the state legislature could have forced the issue).
I may actually have plans this weekend, one of the fun events the girlfriend and I went to are starting back up, and a brewery is doing an anniversary party on Saturday. Even the Branch Covidian board gamers are starting to schedule gatherings again.
Biden was also a liar and a plagiarizer from way back. I remember Rush Limbaugh making light of it when I first started listening in the 90’s. And yet here he is, the leader of the free world.
It was the 1988 primaries.
Also Joe Biden was always an awful man with awful politics so I’m not sure why so many “libertarians” thought he would be any different now. Well he is a weathervane so he must behave like Bill Clinton in 1995.
It’s the same old split; who’s a cosmo vs. a yokel.
That doesn’t stop at the Libertarian county line.
Are those “libertarians” in the room with us right now, Winston?
Show us on the doll where they touched you.

No. I can’t believe it.
He only married her because she was a hot piece of ass.
…with money.
Works for me.
According to my dad, his mother’s advice was “It’s just as easy to love a rich girl”.
According to my dad, “Don’t marry a rich girl. They will never appreciate what you can provide them.”
Based on experience and observation, I think he was onto something.
Your dad may have been right. My uncle married a rich girl and was divorced within a few years. My dad married a poor girl, or “a little working girl” in my grandmother’s words, and they were married over 60 years.
On Monday, Johnson announced plans to scrap regulations including on face masks and social distancing by 19 July, saying that Britain must “learn to live with” the virus. He said Covid cases would likely reach 50,000 a day within a fortnight
A case is 24 cans.
If I were still young and putting a new band together, I’d name it Covid-20.
Or better yet, Covid-20/20.
“These Challenging Times” would be a good album name.
These Trying Times adds some alliteration.
Yeah, we all know that would be the sell-out album.
The UK is having a heck of spike in new cases right now, but their deaths are pretty much flat. Makes me question the reporting. In any event, based on their current spike, I would say 50K new cases a day is not unlikely in a couple of weeks, regardless.
But if they are having a spike in new cases with masking and social distancing requirements, that would seem to mean they don’t work (very well?).
(at all).
Hey the Chicoms say it worked…
Suck that dick and half an hour later you want more (and if you don’t, they’ll tell you you do).
That is correct. The medical grade masks will stop some of the aerosolized body fluids but only temporarily which is why the manufacturers recommend changing masks every….uh…either fifteen minutes or thirty minutes, I can’t remember which. See anyone change to a fresh mask lately? Fauci recommend doing it?
The cloth masks don’t even work temporarily.
The mask mandates mean three things: security blanket, signaling but mostly OBEY.
The whole thing is sickening to me.
“The UK is having a heck of spike in new cases right now, but their deaths are pretty much flat.”
“But if they are having a spike in new cases with masking and social distancing requirements, that would seem to mean they don’t work (very well?).”
Things I said repeatedly since the hysteria started. I was challenged by someone that is deathly afraid – “Why do you think you know more than Fauci?”
Me – ” Twelve hours in Micro and the associated labs, but what do I know?”
Everything the guy has said is nonsense or outright lies. Every policy has been designed to rend the fabric of western society, not insure public health and the results speak to that. This is all political. They are teeing us up for their glorious great reset (international communism).
A case is 24 cans.
24 cans equals out to 16 alcohol units per the UK Ministry of Health. Which should be enough for 8 days (Imperial Days not US).
So, you’re saying Brooks has big cans?
Hey…its 2021…why not?
Lockdowns are rapid social change and libertarians like rapid social change so why aren’t they happy?
This has been a pretty huge weakness since at least the 1880s back when progressives and Socialists argued that classical liberals were the outdated reactionaries and the classical liberals had difficulty refuting them.

“I’m just a regular working class shmoe. My wife is the one with the money.”
Two-year-old Hunt was hospitalized with a serious head injury.
So he really was dropped on his head?
He said he would resign if his Senate duties took too much time away from his sons. “They can always get another Senator, but my boys cannot get another father.”
What a guy. Were his fingers crossed?
But while I know I can be a good Senator, and I know I can be a good President, I do know that I could never be another Oliver Wendell Holmes
So modest.
I can’t believe Biden sat for an interview with Kitty Kelley who was basically a gossip columnist — back when ‘serious’ journos made a show of pretending to be respectable.
In the “Senators Only” elevator he says hello to several colleagues. Senator William Proxmire pops the question: “Hi, Joe, how are you? I understand you’re going to be getting married soon.” The Wisconsin Senator obviously read the recent UPI story about Biden and Francine Barnard, a Capitol Hill reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Since he has another reporter with him—me—Biden is flustered. He tries to make a joke out of it: Turning to Senator Thomas Eagleton, he says, “Be careful, Tom. Ms. Kelley’s with the press and she’s here to check out those rumors about your marriage bust-up.” Eagleton smoothly changes the subject as we walk back to the office. Biden tells him a joke with an antisemitic punchline and asks that it be off the record.
Cancel culture doesn’t work on this side of the aisle.
I can’t believe Kitty Kelley allowed him to go on a three-hour digression about his late wife during the interview.
Why not? If she was interested in gossip and dirt, she’d just let him shoot off his mouth and eventually he’d say something she could use.
Fair point. Some people have more patience than me, I guess.

For those who were speculating why the U.S. military snuck out of Bagram Air Base at night without telling the incoming Afghan commander about this:
Pretend you’re the base commander. You’ve learned from bitter experience that your “allies” have questionable tribal loyalties at best and are riddled with enemy spies at worst. Would you announce in advance you were leaving, so you could enjoy getting shot at in ambushes along the way out?
Did the commander get the call the night before? I am sure they could have started moving items/hardware/etc for the past few weeks under the guise of repositioning assets. However, I agree, for the commander on the ground it was a lose-lose, but not just now, from the start.
I would think that the incentives for a political animal like a commanding general would be to haul out high value stuff like the soldiers, guns, ammo, vehicles, and maybe food, and leave behind lower value stuff that aren’t worth risking your soldier’s lives (and thus your career) over.
Nobody wants to be held accountable for a Black Hawk Down scenario.
Agreed. It just left some good propaganda footage though. I am sure Trump’s plan would have left the same.
So now that we’ve freed up our military from Afghanistan it would appear all the MSM editorials would like it to go directly to Haiti.
Sure, why not…
Makes sense in terms of long-term goals and internal military occupation of major US cities to ensure no outside intervention can take hold on outlying islands. /tinfoilhat
In reading one of the articles on the assassination, Haiti’s succession plan seems a bit…. messy.
Might finally be a war they can win.
Before I jump to that conclusion, though, who will they be fighting?

On top of that, they made a huge point of displaying how certain crimes would go unpunished now. Violent crime is up? Murder is up? No fucking shit!

I don’t want to wear a mask indoors anymore. That’s what I’m feeling this second week of July, living in Toronto.
Now depending on where you are in Canada, you’re going to have wildly different responses to what I’ve just articulated.
For many of my neighbours in downtown Toronto and other Ontario cities, their reaction will probably be somewhere between shock and horror. After all, it’s still illegal to not wear a mask in Ontario stores and, based on what officials are saying, it doesn’t look like that’s going to change anytime soon.
….
While much of Canada is evolving its response to COVID-19 and reopening society, Ontario is in a perpetual state of fear. The province that’s supposed to be a dynamic driving force for the federation has now become a backwater state, a joke compared to other provinces.
….
Indoor dining, gyms, art galleries and museums — these are all places that have been open in other parts of North America for months now but remain closed in Ontario.
Based on the latest data from Public Health Ontario, there are only 1,841 active cases of COVID-19 throughout the entire province of over 14 million people, with the vast majority of these people already isolating at home.
…
Still, the madness continues. Ontario does not have an actual reopening plan, despite what Ford says. The current plan merely concludes at Stage 3 — with mask mandates, capacity limits and distancing rules in place for the foreseeable future.
The harmful policies that Ontario kids have needlessly endured are also set to continue. During a recent appearance on CTV News, the province’s new chief medical officer, Dr. Kieran Moore, bizarrely claimed that kids will likely still be masked come the fall to protect them not from COVID-19 but against other viruses. This attitude represents a disturbing step backwards.
….
One of the challenges, though, is that not as many Ontarians as you’d think are up in arms about the sad state of things. The past year and a half has been habit forming for too many people and the psychosocial scarring runs deep. Ontario’s therapists are in for boom times in the months and years ahead.
Ontario is fucked. Canada is fucked. Four more years of Turdeau Jr. And then Mark Carney to finish us off…

“The identity of the Capitol Police officer who shot the MAGA rioter on camera on January 6 has remained one of the most closely guarded secrets in America.

know all this because DailyMail.com journalists did their job and found out, as I am sure have journalists from other news organizations.
Although I’m equally sure that many prestigious left-leaning news organizations – who ought to know better – have probably not even bothered.
Nobody has reported the information yet because there has been enormous pressure put on the media from the Capitol Police and the officer’s legal team not to do so for fear it would endanger his life.
That is a perfectly legitimate concern.”

No, it isn’t.
Sure it is.
No non-police officer who killed anyone else, legitimately or not, would have their identity kept secret regardless of any concern about their safety.
This is why you are a cunt.
If I were a journalists I would be concerned that my reporting might get someone killed, It’s a perfectly legitimate concern. If that makes me a cunt so be it.
Tell that to me the next time they fail to report the identity of a non-cop who shoots someone.
That is what makes you a decent person…however, would you be equally concerned if your reporting was false/fake/deliberately untrue and killed people?
At least with the truth, it is put into the light.
Note that it hasn’t been reported because it would endanger his life.
it hasn’t been reported because of pressure from the police and the officer’s lawyer.
Not a good look, Daily Mail. Either don’t report it because you agree it would endanger his life, or fucking report it, screw the police and some killer’s mouthpiece.

This was a group that had spent on average 15 years in war zones. There is no other profession, I believe, that has such a long exposure to war and trauma.
Soldiers had a tour of duty, maybe two, and they came home. But who spends 15 years or more in the world’s worst places? Journalists do, and in response to that, over the course of all the years, the rates of post-traumatic stress disorder were actually quite high.”
They are putting themselves above fucking 18-19 year olds that watched their buddies turn to goo next to them and saying they didn’t even experience what they did cause they only have to be there for a tour.
Yeah. Sorry Hype. That article doesn’t drive the point home you think it does.

C’mon, guys. The Capitol is infested with Capitol Police officers and federal security, who gunned down an unarmed woman and contemptuously dismiss any concerns that maybe they shouldn’t have done that. How excited would you be about going to work every day surrounded by the kind of people who kill unarmed women and suffer no consequences for it?
Well, it’s Vice, so they just make up stories out of whole cloth based on whatever the snarky garbage nihilist hipster “journalist” thinks they want to say.
“This whole thread appears to assemble evidence for the reporting, first advanced by @DarrenJBeattie, that the FBI and other law enforcement agencies had informants and even agents working with planners and participants of the 1/6 riot:”

Well, I know those people with earpieces removing barriers were not protesters.
It was obvious to me from the start that the whole thing was theater, a pretense for casting aside the rule of law and cracking down. The most obvious suspect to me was ANTIFA who, of course, are the brownshirts for the radical left Democrats. Of course it was coordinated with govt agents.
Sounds familiar. I might have read about that in a book or heard it on one of those new fangiled picture shows you kids talk about.
Tin foil hats are far more effective than masks.
The sudden onslaught of anonymous accounts spamming Parler and Gab with threats and defamatory generic nonsense was textbook psy-ops.
Who actually reads them? Both of the people that read the Russian cyber efforts to get Trump elected?
I suppose so. I used to check Parler when it was an app and there were a couple of funnies on it.
But, it was the easy way to generate the “evidence” they needed.
And now that I think about it, those tweets and FB pages had pathetically low views…some only got a dozen or so views.
I can see a time coming when a bot will send out reverse propaganda and another bot will repeatedly view it until it has very high view numbers. Then the high numbers would be used as a premise for…say…white supremacists being surpressed (insert any imaginary non-leftist group). They can hang that label on anyone they dont like and then go after them.
Speaking of using bots on social media to impact public opinion, Tom Woods found a bunch of bots on Twitter shilling for lockdowns. Multiple accounts with the same exact “personal” message against opening up.

I’ve never listened to his podcast, but I did listen to the recent interview he did with the Bee. What’s all this stuff about him being associated with neo-confederates? Previous organisations hijacked by dumb civil war LARPers?
What’s all this stuff about him being associated with neo-confederates?

I loved the place when I visited, 20 years ago. Gave some serious thought to moving there. That would’ve been sticking my whole body and not just my dick into crazy, so yeah, real happy THAT never came to pass.
I notice there is a serious lull in commenting right at quittin’ time. So y’all are commenting from work…now you are commuting home. Heh.
My commute from work computer to home computer is… let’s see…
*Grabs yardstick*
About two feet.
Confirmed! You are back commenting again.
On occasion. I’m approaching the end of a project and my workload is fluctuating dramatically just now.
Look at the rich guy over here. Two feet, you say. You must have two desks or one big shitlord one. My wife’s game computer is 90 degrees from her laptop/docking station.
Wait. *pulls out measuring tape and measures computer spacing*
Never mind.
My work computer is a laptop positioned in front of my real computer and connected to its monitor during office hours. So… about six inches.
Except on those horrible days I choose to go into the office.
“about six inches.”
Meh.
There it is.
Shouldn’t your yardstick be 3 feet?
I have one of those newfangled ones that’s divided up into units, like inches and feet, so I can measure small things.
*snicker*
Isn’t it a little humiliating to see so much yardstick left over after measuring?
Anyone else getting robocalls that leave 1:09 long voicemails of nothing but background noise, presumably to con me into calling back to see who butt-dialed me? I’ve gotten 4 in the past 3 days.
It could be future you calling to warn yourself about the coming catastrophe, but the signal isn’t strong enough to make it to voice mail.
Did the caller perchance mention atheistic sea otters?
Science damn you!
Yes all the time…though didnt pay attention to the timing.
Usually it’s a “hello?…….” followed by some almost personal information ques.
FBI?
Nah those are usually an AI generated voice script.
It seems using voice mail to self-screen one’s calls has become the norm and expected. It is amazing to me how many unproductive people are out there trying to make money on grifts.
Speaking of grifters the leftists have realized that they overstepped and are getting serious pushback on teaching bigotry in schools. They are beginning to distance themselves from critical race theory. However they haven’t all gotten the memo, some of them are still trying to defend it.
The talking points went out pretty quickly. “No one is teaching critical race theory to kids. It’s a graduate school thing. Can you mouth breathers even define what critical race theory is? Nope, it’s just trying to better understand history. Why do you want to shut down open inquiry?”
The only viable response is “No, fuck off, you can’t have my kids”
This. Like I said earlier today. This is the education equivalent of ” no one is trying to take your guns!!”
Totally not relevant or in any way remindful of anything happening today.
Too late.
It is right in front of their nose and they just cant see it.
It isn’t their fault really. If only we had some medium to make marks on and tools for making those marks. People could use those to record what they experienced so that people in the future could read those marks and know what mistakes to avoid.
I don’t answer anything that isn’t someone I know.
Is the West decadent? This is disturbing since pretty much everything I have read suggests that libertarians assumed rich educated urbanites becoming totalitarians was literally impossible.
You use so many labels and I have no idea what any of them mean. Define them. Start with ‘libertarian’
Here is Rothbard writing in the 1960s:
https://mises.org/library/left-right-and-prospects-liberty-0/html/c/77
the death throes of an ineluctably moribund, Fundamentalist, rural, small-town, white Anglo-Saxon America.
…
The society of status gave way, at least partially, to the “society of contract”; the military society gave way partially to the “industrial society.” The mass of the population now achieved a mobility of labor and place, and accelerating expansion of their living standards, for which they had scarcely dared to hope. Liberalism had indeed brought to the Western world not only liberty, the prospect of peace, and the rising living standards of an industrial society,
He speaks of “death” of small town rural America and the glories of industrial society. How is that not pro-urban?
Also the talk of society if contract is a clear reference to Herbert Spencer who explicitly said it was an urban phenomenon:
https://mises.org/library/new-tories
The truth is familiar that, here as elsewhere, it was habitually by town-populations, formed of workers and traders accustomed to cooperate under contract, that resistances were made to that coercive rule that characterizes cooperation under status. While, conversely, cooperation under status, arising from, and adjusted to, chronic warfare, was supported in rural districts, originally peopled by military chiefs and their dependents, where the primitive ideas and traditions survived.
I dunno. That didnt help with defining libertarian.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/fee.org/articles/the-urban-origins-of-liberty/amp
In his concise masterpiece, Medieval Cities: Their Origins and the Revival of Trade, the Belgian historian Henri Pirenne explains just how, long after the fall of the western Roman empire, the liberal idea gradually reemerged and how this was directly tied to the birth of the modern city.
Oh in case you are wondering this is why I keep saying “city air will set us free”.
But is he wrong? It’s clear you find the idea objectionable, but was Pirenne making a universal case or reporting a historical artifact? If the former, I’ll need an argument, as I don’t get that out of Pirenne at all. If the latter, was he wrong?. And if so, citations needed.
I’m not saying he is wrong but I think what is happening is that libertarians in the past realized that urbanization was good for them but they assumed this would always be the case but I’m not so sure that this is true today. Urban lockdowns were heavily supported by the urbanites and not by the country yokels after all.
Then why not simply say so rather than make grandiose claims that somehow never cite the villains you see lurking in the heart of the collective “libertarians”?
Now you’ve done it.
Yes. Do you think they’re more decadent that the Bolsheviks or Nazis were? If so, I suggest reading more history.
pretty much everything I have read suggests that libertarians assumed rich educated urbanites becoming totalitarians was literally impossible.
You live a pretty sheltered life, don’t you?
Well there were the agrarians too I guess.

“HOW JILL BIDEN’S AFFAIR WITH JOE CAUSED NEILIA BIDEN’S FATAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
On Monday, December 18, 1972 Neilia, Hunter, Beau and Naomi Biden piled in the family car and set out to buy a Christmas tree. Husband Joe, Delaware’s newly elected Senator, should have bought it, but he was busy juggling his time between Senatorial duties and schuping Jill Tracy Stevenson now Dr. Jill Biden. Little Hunter asked, “Mommy do we have to go? Can’t we stay with the baby sitter?” Neilia didn’t want to leave the children with a baby sitter ’cause it would’ve been Jill Tracy Stevenson, the woman who stole her husband’s heart away. Neilia knew the home breaker from when she hosted campaign events at the Stone Balloon in order to get the youth vote since the voting age had been lowered to 18. Bill Stevenson, Jill’s ex-husband, said they all knew each other in 1972. Jill’s story that Joe’s brother set the up for a “blind date” is part of the cover-up. Joe and Jill began sexual relations on the downlow. Neilia, a homecoming Queen but not a model was well acquainted with Jill, knew what was going on between her husband. It was dirty lowdown and mean for Joe to have the woman he was schupping, in his wife’s house, with their kids. Jill’s ex-William Stevenson, confirmed the 1972 Jill baby-sitting gig and the affair. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Jill contradicted herself as to when she first met Joe and when he first called her. Initially she said it was at his victory party then said it was at a fundraiser. Neilia had a drink to ease the pain and anger she had kept to herself in order to not destroy Joe’s career, and drove off into eternity.
She stopped at the fatal intersection. She didn’t run it speeding. Maybe, along with the few drinks, the boys were misbehaving? Or were constantly asking “Are we there yet mommy?” Or the baby was crying? Or her husband’s infidelity was haunting her? Who the fuck knows? Whatever the reason, she went through the intersection, when a big rig, a tractor trailer truck, that had the right of way, T-boned her. Neilia and her daughter died and the boys were injured. (LISTEN) ASSISTANT DELAWARE ATTORNEY GENERAL JEROME O. HERLIHY, Joe’s friend and neighbor, covered up the DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and destroyed the documents about the accident. Without this Irishman Joe would not be President. Joe, having an extra marital sexual relationship and throwing it in his wife’s face, contributed to or caused his wife and daughters untimely deaths. Biden, a total lowlife, pinned the rap for a baby’s death on the trucker by saying Curtis Dunn was drunk as a skunk. As far as the probability of Joe’s having an affair, factor in his youth and sudden success and remember Joe was a virile male who sniffed the hair on numerous woman’s heads, and in private, elsewhere. Joe also touched women in public as much as he thought he could get away with. He apologized and the media made it all disappear like magic.”
https://neiliabiden.com/
Look, Biden is the most beloved president of all time. And Dr. Jill is the most beloved Mrs. Dr. First Lady of all time.
But you all hate them just like you hate America’s doctor, the most beloved doctor of all time.
Schtupping the baby-sitter. I had no idea about that part.
Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if this was written by the truck driver who Joe tried to bury with the accident. And i would completely understand him doing so.
I just don’t fucking care about this shit. Dude cheated in the early seventies. He was busy cheating so she had to drive with all the kids. She got killed and he later married the side piece. I just don’t fucking care. I care that he’s gone out of his way to curtail people’s rights every year since then. That’s what pisses me off. He’s my liberty’s kryptonite. That’s the problem I have with him. I’d be fine with is sordid past, if he just respected my rights and left my money alone.
He was a senator in 1974. 19 seventy fucking 4. I was 14 years old. Just imagine what a piece of shit swamp critter you’d be after staying in the toxic swamp for that long. Biden is one the worst rotten politicians in the history of the USA. He makes Hillary look OK. Seriously. That’s why they picked the piece of dog excrement to put in office after stealing an election. There’s not even anyone worse alive, except Harris, who they really wanted. But she’s less popular than foot fungus.
Cheating on his wife? Yeah, probably a pass on that.
But for 40 (?) years he lied about the truck driver, blaming him for being drunk. For the sole purpose of generating sympathy to advance his career. That says a lot about character.
That’s much worse than the cheating.
It’s totally fucked up. I still wouldn’t care if he was respecting everyone’s rights and leaving them the fuck alone. I can accept a person of low moral fortitude far easier than a power mad authoritarian, at least as a politician. I don’t want to be his friend. I want him, or anyone who holds his office to leave me and everyone else alone.
True; “decades-long swamp creature is an authoritarian POS” is dog-bites-man story.
He’s just an above-average POS in his personal life too.
I go through the fatal intersection every time I visit my stepson’s family in Hockessin. Unlike many such accident sites, in Delaware and elsewhere, there is no cross or monument to Mrs. Biden.
I am just happy to make it through hump day.
Not because its the middle of the week, but because it has become the day of the week when I have back to back meetings from 9 am to 4:30.
No lunch, no scheduled whizz breaks. I just excuse myself when I have to go and can’t put it off any longer.
I also deliberately don’t drink coffee or water (or anything) so I can maximize my time between nature breaks. That ain’t healthy.
I’m wall-to-wall every morning and getting increasing numbers of afternoon meetings.
NB. I have actual work to do. And increasingly less time to do it in.
Not because its the middle of the week, but because it has become the day of the week when I have back to back meetings from 9 am to 4:30.
What would happen if you blocked off a half hour every 3 hours for “breath catching”? Would it be respected or would somebody schedule over it? If people are fitting stuff onto your schedule, you can add those breaks. If not, then it doesn’t really matter because they’ll schedule right over other meetings.
I’ve tried carving out time to actually be productive, but I’m too much of a peon, so people would schedule right over those times.
Here is Rothbard writing in the 1960s:
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

From dedthred: Thanks everyone who wished my kitteh well. SF, thanks for the advice. I didn’t know that about cats.
He’s still unwilling to move so much as an eyelash, and he’s starting to sneeze. The vet told me to call tomorrow if he starts sneezing.
Aw.
One of mine was like that. One exploratory surgery later, they had no idea what was wrong with her and after pumping her full of a cocktail of drugs for a few weeks, she bounced right back.
Why, does he have stress herpes?
I was driving, or I’d have wished the kitty well. I hate when they don’t feel good.
He speaks of “death” of small town rural America and the glories of industrial society. How is that not pro-urban?
I won’t pretend to speak for Murray Rothbard, but I’d suggest that the urban/industrial versus rural/agrarian dichotomy is probably a little dated. It may well have applied in Rothbard’s time, but our urban centers today are better characterized as post-industrial and post-modern. In that regard, the bourgeois Enlightenment ethos that characterized the rise of our urban centers no longer characterizes urban leadership. The continued focus of some libertarians to the urban consensus is essentially an anachronism.
Don’t confuse him.
It don’t much matter. The days of there being a huge divide are probably past. Hell, we had huge Trump enthusiasm here in L.A. Everywhere, people got to be free. Trump got more votes in Cali than he did in Texas. You don’t get that just in the central valley.
Wut?
went under at 5pm, woke up at 7pm. Am back in hospital room. will probably doze due to meds. Made it past the actual cutting part.

Enjoy your new boobs.

What happened?
Gall bladdar removal.
I would have answered sooner, but I got some morphine and drozed a bit.
Well, you’re alive, yay! Did they actually cut you open or was it laparoscopic? They’re usually laparoscopic.
yeah, he said it would be laparoscopic earlier.
I either missed it or forgot. Thanks!
It was laproscopic, but there were still cuts involved that hurt once the general anasthesia wore off.
First dose of morphine wore off. I’m allowed one every three hours.
First drink of something other han ice water – diet ginger ale.
No food yet.
From very limited, second-hand anecdotal experience, I urge you to be cautious when you eat for the food time. Try the blandest thing you can get and eat it as slowly as you can.
I think that’s a sign that it’s time for me to go to bed. Nighty night, all!
So you recommend the ghost pepper jumbalaya?
My ghost pepper plants are the happiest plants I have right now. The super hots are being lil bitches. ?
Has the head nurse been in to see you yet?
Glad to hear your through the tough part.
Not that I am aware of, but in a hospital this size, that’s probably an administrative position.
The good news is that each time the painkillers wore off the pain came back less.
pain came back less
Glad to hear that. Soon you actually enjoy the drugs.
I’m not going to do that. I only accepted the doses I did because the first time around I was in what was threatening to become the worst pain of my life, and the second because the pain wouldn’t let me sleep.
I do not enjoy loss of cognitive ability.
“that’s probably an administrative position.”
That’s not what internet videos have led me to believe.
Very glad you’re okay and everything went well!
Thank you.

I’m trying to make our skateboards passable as carry on baggage. I took off the trucks and wheels and put them in a backpack, but the decks stick out about 4-5 inches. They have a linear inch rule and this surpasses it. Gonna take some persuading, I think. Maybe I can get some special consideration since I work for lawa. Maybe? There’s a cool looking skatepark in Ormond beach we might try skating, if the heat/humidity isn’t so bad as to preempt it. I don’t have a bag big enough for the decks or I’d check it for 30.00.
Try to get a bag at a thrift shop?
Too late. I fly tomorrow. I had to work and my wife doesn’t really think that way. She can argue a case all day, but practical matters baffle her.
Well, Delta (yes, I’m flying the Delta variant) allows 62 linear inches and my back pack with the decks sticking out is under. I have that argument to make. It’s gonna suck if it’s too hot to really skate out there. I’m sure the hurricane did nothing to reduce the humidity.
Tape it to your back, say it’s a medically-ordered spine brace.
Well, I considered renting a llama and hanging them saddlebag style over it, then claiming it was for emotional support. I didn’t think I could get the llama to wear a mask for that long. I’m not sure I can pull it off a solid 6-7 hours of wearing one, either.

Why do you hate utopia, bigot?
What did the German press do when Hitler came to power? I’ve recently been reading some stuff about how awful it is that the press goes along, but have they ever truly fought authoritarians?
I recently heard some tales of that very thing. Most aggressively authoritarian governments only allow glowing reports. The “news” agencies write them to gain continued access. The slightest hint of criticism will get a reporter banned, so they just don’t even try. If they were to report negative facts, they’d be forever reporting from outside. Cancel culture, basically.
‘“Neilia was my very best friend, my greatest ally, my sensuous lover. The longer we lived together the more we enjoyed everything from sex to sports. Most guys don’t really know what I lost because they never knew what I had. Our marriage was sensational. It was exceptional, and now that I look around at my friends and my colleagues, I know more than ever how phenomenal it really was. When you lose something like that, you lose a part of yourself that you never get back again.’
It’s important to remember that all of us are capable of losing our principles, morals, our very souls when the things that make your life worth living are ripped away from you. Had that happened to me I’m not sure I’d been able to provide for my remaining family, much less Onward Crispin Glover.

If you really want to know about Joe from Scranton, you have to learn about Pat Caddell. Caddell was Biden’s campaign consultant through most of his career and about whom Biden once said – “I don’t know where I end and Pat Caddell begins.” In 1988, Caddell was shocked about the fooferall about the Kinnock plagiarism because he had been instructing Biden to use that anecdote for years but this time Biden went off script and didn’t attribute the original Kinnock story along with his personal history tie-in. There is a great 1989 episode of the old CBS news magazine show 48 Hours, the subject of which was advertising, that features Caddell and other giants of the ad game (George Lois is a wonderful interview). The Wiki article’s attempt to paint Caddell as a conservative GOP operative is just sad and a fine example of why I no longer edit there.
I can’t even imagine the shitshows that go on behind the scenes there.

Seriously, are there people for fucking real? I mean, obviously they are real, but have they ever been out of their mum’s basement? Because I think if they did venture out and met someone with a different opinion on reality, they’d just drop dead on the spot. They’ve been hiding under their bed since Trump got elected, hoping the apocalypse will just pass them by.
Tangental, but Sinema hasn’t nearly been as bad as I feared she would be. I was expecting something along AOC lines.
Also, she’s a solid “would”. I dig glasses.
Thick with glasses?
Yes, please.
It’s only because she’s from AZ. If she was from NY, she’s be the blonde version of AOC.
Probably. AZ hasn’t gone _that_ blue. Yet.
If the filibuster had been abolished two months ago we’d have moved on by now. If it had been abolished two years ago, the butthurt would never have healed. And it seems like the republicans are making it harder or even impossible for people they don’t think should vote to do so? By extending voting hours and not letting random people mail in any old ballot with a scribble for a signature? Fuck right off. I firmly do not believe that Biden won the election fairly and anyone who does believe that is a fool. If they wanted the results taken seriously, they shouldn’t have cheated so badly and blatantly.
They cheated, or they would have lost.
But this is like everything else with them. Reality depends on who’s doing it. For 4 years they attempted a coup. And they finally achieved it through a fraudulent election. Then they immediately start accusing Trump supporters of attempting a coup, which they had been attempting for 4 years.
Let them do way with the filibuster and voting security. Let them pass laws that can be used as weapons against political foes.
Then to their shock, someone will come along who is not Trump and who is not squishy nice like the current good ol boys of the GOP. Then whoever that is will use the powers they granted themselves to silence any dissent and who will be just thrilled to be a real dictator and start lining these wokesters up against walls, with their shocked faces.
Holy crap, how can anyone plow through that turgid mess?
They’re as dumb as the idiots at DU.
With a mighty “hiss”, the piston on my chair gave out today – I’m now sitting about 6 inches too low.
It’s a 20 year old Aeron, so I can’t complain too much – replacement on the way, hopefully it’s not too much of of a PITA to swap out.
I’ve swapped the pistons on chairs before. It’s not too bad. Mostly they tend to be held in place by the weight on them. This may have pressure fit the piston into one end or the other after 20 years of use though.
I hose clamped a piece of angle iron to the piston on my chair. No more random lowerings.
The air shot out along with a bunch of oil, so I think I’m beyond that.
RIP chair
It’ll be the Chair of Theseus after I replace the piston.
Slumbrew and his chair
Yep. With less public masturbation.
Then what’s the point?
Then what’s the point?
I said “less”.
So, I was making dinner for the wife and I, using the broiler, as the recipe calls for. Now, I don’t really like cooking, generally think of it as drudgery and would rather just do dishes at the end of the night, mostly because I don’t find food very interesting, which is in stark contrast to my wife, who thinks it is the single most interesting thing.
Now, I am relating this because, while I am competent as a cook, I don’t tend to really get into the kitchen tools and appliances I am using. I was almost done and was resting the chicken on the hot stove to keep it warm while I finished the couscous, and I see smoke rising from the top of the stove. At first, I thought it was something to do with the bowl I just put there, so I moved that. Nope, smoke still rising, and getting thicker. I have zero idea what is causing this, as I just took everything out of the broiler. Smoke is getting thick, but no flames. The wife comes in and says (the obvious) “somethings on fire!” No Flames, but smoke is now streaming out of the MAIN part of the stove, which I hadn’t used. Open that up, and there is a now blackened tray of what were breadcrumbs.
What hell damn guy!?
Who stores breadcrumbs in a stove? And now she is mad at me for letting this happen.
What hell damn guy?!
who stores anything in an oven?
Everyone living in an apartment in Manhattan?
Everyone living in an apartment in Manhattan?
I’ll store cast iron skillets in there temporarily.
My wife
That’s on her.
That’s small comfort to you, of course. You’re still wrong, by default. 😉
Yes, because when I brought that fact up, I was asked in no uncertain terms “Are you saying I can’t use MY kitchen the way I want to?”
Don’t get me wrong, I love my wife, but this “change” bs has got to stop.
Dude, I’m assuming she’s a woman. So there’s nothing left to ponder here and no use to try.
Every time I’m cooking something, my wife comes in the kitchen and tries to correct everything I do. Too much salt, not enough salt, you should have used ‘this’ pan, you should have put this ingredient in first… I just completely ignore her and eventually she gives up and goes away.
SMDH.
The wise woman never says or does anything that might discourage a man from cooking. Or cleaning. Or (short of preventing a tragic shrinkage or color-transfer accident) doing laundry.
“Every time I’m cooking something, my wife comes in the kitchen and tries to correct everything I do.”
Just with cooking?
I think the Babylon Bee covered this with ‘All referees should be women because they are so much better at telling men what they are doing wrong’.
I forbid my wife from the kitchen when I am cooking. She never complains about the end product but if she is in there when I am cooking…..
‘Too many cooks in the kitchen’ didn’t get to be a saying for no reason.
They say if you keep burnt stuff like that and if you get really drunk and have a horrific hangover, lying out on the front lawn and eating the burnt stuff will cure your hangover.
So, you can save it.
I really want to know who “they” are in this case.
Them of course.
Ah, of course.
I’m with Hyp on this one, you can’t win so don’t play the game. You will, of course, have to apologize about the breadcrumbs. It was a tragic loss and should not be discounted.
Btw, that proud boys piece is basically just saying, “See those racist assholes are bad people. We told you!” Nobody likes a snitch. Nobody.
I love you muthafuckas. Thats all.

Good morning, UCS! How are you feeling? I hope you slept as well as can be expected under the circumstances.
I got two naps with the assistance of painkillers, the overall pain is down, so I declined a third dose for the time being. I’m able to get up and walk around unaided, albeit slowly.
I just wish I had some breakfast. 🙁 I last ate tuesday morning.
So glad the pain is lessening! As for food, how do you feel about oatmeal? Or Jell-O? I hope you can at least give it a try ASAP.
Depends on the flavor.
Any flavor of Jell-O you want! And I think it’s a safe bet they’ll skip the carrot shavings.

What the heck does it mean when the USPS says they’ve received a shipment from another carrier but haven’t accepted it yet?
“We’re not sure if we want it.”
Likely the carrier unloads trucks at the post office, which is ‘recieved’ and the post office determines if the end address is in their delivery area ‘accepted’ sending back those for a different post office.
That makes sense. Thanks! Our ZIP code and the one just to the south no longer have their own dedicated post office, so the mail for each is routed through another PO – 05 goes to the 06 PO, and our 15 goes to the 14 PO. Happily, my package appears to be at the correct office, so maybe I’ll actually get it delivered today.
I really hate this trend of partnering with USPS for last mile delivery. I use carriers other than USPS because they always cause problems. Having UPS (who have both a morning and evening route through our neighborhood) drop my stuff off at the USPS facility 3 blocks from house is spectacularly unhelpful as USPS will, without fail, sit on it for 2 or 3 days before schlepping it 3 blocks West and leaving it at the wrong house.
Yup. My package was AWOL from tracking from the 3rd until the 7th, somewhere in limbo between UPS and the USPS. I’m sure it didn’t help having the holiday weekend in between.
I get angry when I see the post office is involved with my packages. The only thing they’re particularly good at is screwing up.
my local post office sems to have their act together.
Mine too, but package tracking is generally off so I don’t rely on it.
Whether you have a good experience or not seems to be very localized with them and I’m being a little unfair to be honest. My new mail carrier has been delivering my mail to the wrong house but I guess she’ll learn.
I find small packages under the conveyors every night. I just pull them out with the broom and put them on the table. That’s another delivery day lost through incompetence.

SO last night, we had another fellow come in, throw 6 of the giant liquid GAIN laundry soap containers ($24.99 per) into a couple ratty IKEA bags and saunter out the door. I followed him outside and watched him mount his bicycle and pedal away.

I think I’m gonna keep a u-lock or length of chain and padlock in my work satchel and secure his velocipede upon his next visit.

You both are, of course, correct. If I do the right thing, I get fired and open myself to liability.

The Haiti assassination is yet another incident in a series of political, social and economic crises that have festered throughout the Western Hemisphere. The situation is emblematic of a larger democratic regression afflicting many countries — including Nicaragua, Peru, and Venezuela — where, in lieu of negotiations and political compromise, taking political prisoners and even conducting political assassinations have become worryingly commonplace.
Haiti’s constitutional crisis has failed to register with many Washington policymakers as well as those in the international community for far too long — in part, thanks to the plethora of challenges already present in the Western Hemisphere. Notwithstanding the Biden administration’s claims to the contrary, the inattention of US policymakers in recent years has contributed to the country’s rapid unraveling.
It’s as if he’s riding a tiny bicycle on a high wire.
And holding a tiny parasol in his hand. Clown nose optional.
“taking political prisoners and even conducting political assassinations ”
I used to believe that the US didn’t take political prisoners.
And remember all the assassination fan fiction published by big name newspapers.
Link
The international community, and in particular the US, should push for an investigation into the assassination and make resources available for bringing the perpetrators to justice — lest they benefit from the impunity that is all too common in Haiti. In the long-term, the international community has a key role to play in encouraging political and institutional reforms that will advance a national dialogue, generate economic opportunities for all and bring greater stability to Haiti’s turbulent domestic politics.
Moïse’s assassination is a tragic reminder of the country’s unraveling democracy and the need to forge a solution to the escalating turmoil that puts Haiti’s constitutional order and the well-being of its people at its center.
Take up the White Man’s Burden.
I don’t think the US should be part of the investigation, since our DEA is the prime suspect.
If we don’t, you can be sure that’s why.
It’s hard to believe we don’t already have our dick in that shithole.

Based on what little I know, it seems Haitian DEMOCRACY! has been unravelling pretty much uninterruptedly since the Slave Rebellion.
This seems to happen when militias control any space. Haiti is an extreme example of this. Threw off the wrist shackles and promptly donned the ball and chain. They are fucked. They have always been fucked and will remain fucked. Nothing can fix this situation. The people are too ignorant and starved and the ones in charge like things just the way it is. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
After the rebellion, the French blackmailed them for massive reparations to the slaveholders. The resulting Haitian government was designed to extract money from the populace in order to pay off their debt. That fleecing operation has remained in place ever since, even after the debt was satisfied.

The Outrage Machine spools up yet again
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday compared officials carrying out President Joe Biden’s latest Covid-19 vaccination push to Nazi-era “brown shirts,” just weeks after apologizing for her comments comparing Capitol Hill mask-wearing rules to the Holocaust.
Responding to remarks from Biden about mobilizing officials to reach unvaccinated individuals at their homes, Greene tweeted, “People have a choice, they don’t need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations. You can’t force people to be part of the human experiment.”
The term “brown shirts” refers to the paramilitary group that helped facilitate Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s and ’40s. The group bears no resemblance to Biden’s plan for targeted outreach to unvaccinated communities in the face of rising concern about the Delta variant.
Okay, CNN.
She should have tossed in a reference to Mengele. Just to see if Brian Stelter or Chris(?) Cuomo would swallow his tongue live on the air.
Greene really is a gift to the left and their media lackeys.
Instead of a star painted on your window you get a mark on your electronic record (they’re absolutely going to be recording info of some sort). Totally not the same.
He’s right, this would be more like the gestapo, an actual arm of the government, rather than a paramilitary force.

“President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for the education system to be expanded from 12 years to 14 years for all Americans to make the US more competitive on a global scale.
His speech in Illinois drew about 100 protesters holding signs supporting Donald Trump. McHenry County, where Biden made his remarks, went for the former president in the 2020 election. One large sign read: ‘Make America Proud Again.’
Biden’s focus during his daylong trip is on his plan for free childcare and the education component of his ‘human’ infrastructure package that he will push to pass Congress without Republican votes. In addition to his call for more, free education, Biden also wants to extend his expansion of the child tax credit.”

Naming the Capitol Police Officer Who Killed Unarmed Ashli Babbitt
HInt: It’s the same guy who left his gun in the shitter a while back.
“Following the shooting, Byrd’s Internet footprint was scrubbed, including his social media and personal photos.”
Yeah that’s not even remotely incriminating.
Maybe he was raped by Brett Kavanaugh.
In February 2019, Lt. Byrd was investigated for leaving his department-issued Glock-22 firearm unattended in a restroom on the House side of the Capitol, even though the potent weapon, which fires .40-caliber rounds, has no manual safety to prevent unintended firing. Fortunately, the abandoned gun was discovered by another officer during a routine security sweep. A Glock-22 was used in the Babbitt shooting.
I remember that. Much like the FBI twat who decided to break dance with his Glock in his shorts, he should have been fired at a minimum, but alas…

Remember the big ice storm in Texas? Well turns out that Minnesoda’s public utilities didn’t have a contract to buy gas at preset prices, so they got stuck with a bill that was $800M more than expected. Stupid right? Brother Keith said “hold my beer” and raised the bar in the Stupid game
According to Brother Keith, the gas companies could have done better and reduced the amount of gas it needed to purchase. The story has a list of things that the gas companies could have done. One of the items was “Failing to reduce gas purchases by “interrupting” customers who have contractually agreed to a lower rate in exchange for the ability of the utility to require them to stop buying”. I’m sure Brother Keith would have totally agreed at the time that the gas companies were right to cut off gas during a brutal cold snap. No way he would have sued the shit out of the gas companies.
