Joker is out through injury. The Astros won two in a row. The Stanley Cup Final is about to get underway. As Are the Euros. And that’s about all I’ve got for sports, so on to…the links!
When in doubt, blame the Jews. It’s a hell of a lot easier than blaming the psychopathic cretins who have been brainwashing children for 50+ years generation after generation.
Maybe they don’t trust the messenger. It’s not exactly as if he’s an expert. And it’s not exactly as if he’s in touch with the needs of the average person. Hell, he’s not even in touch with his own mental faculties most of the time.
Is their entire defense gonna be “but he’s an addict?” Because that’s gonna be a tough sell, so long as the jury is impartial. Which is also gonna be a hard sell if he’s not convicted on the evidence that’s been released already.
There was no need to mention the airline. Not sure why they did so. Also, this woman took a hell of a risk. Fortunately it didn’t end with her getting hurt.
This is the lede in almost every news site out there today. With that kind of coordination, something might be up. Let’s keep a close eye on Newsom and Whitmer’s goings-on for a while.
Who knows why? Who knows why?!?!?! Maybe because the entire left has sought to undermine the Supreme Court while at the same time running politically-motivated trials against their opponents. At least that might just have something to do with it.
Who knows why? Who knows why?!?! I’ll tell you why: because local government sucks (lockdowns) and because the entire surrounding area is a war zone. At least that might just have something to do with it.
So much for the state constitution, huh guys? If the pardon power can’t be exercised at the discretion of the person wielding it, then there’s no point in having it in there. Also, claiming Perry violated the guy’s free speech rights is laughable, seeing as the guy was part of a mob that was falsely imprisoning Perry and of course then he pointed a gun at him. But this is Biden’s DOJ, so I would be shocked if Perry escapes without a civil rights violation charge.
LATE ADDITION: I’m highly skeptical. You know, since that’s when women are generally crazy.
Here’s a good one. Pretty good stuff. But this one is even better, in my opinion. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday, dear friends.
What, hip problems after riding on his Harley?
Morning, Sloopy — morning, all.
I *hate* walkovers.
The player who drops out’s previous victim should be allowed to go forward.
I agree and this shouldn’t even be controversial.
You serious sports folks… it is no fun when no one runs with the joke.
And of course now it is dead… Sigh.
Morning all:
It is suspicious that all of the sudden, Biden is bad. (How did that happen)
In other news, finally got motion to disqualify towns lawyer filed. (He was/is also the lawyer for developer who is suing us)
Ive had my own year of hell.
“)
What happened?
What has not happened.
Small town lawyers who don’t represent the client?
The DA never reading the material given to him by they guy who is suing us? (That was fun, his own dept. mocking him)
Encounters with ATF on the highway. (A good one)
Mental health services suck.
Fractured Leg
Insurance company calls the police
Lawyer expect other guy to lie, tells the truth, and then our lawyer bails because 3rd lawyer is his friend?
Eventually it will be a long story. ANd expensive lawbill…..
Just promise us you’re not looking at buying a bulldozer, sheet steel and a lot of concrete man. That didn’t end well 20 years ago.
And if you do all of those things, just avoid places that have basements.
If he is looking to buy… We need to start a GoDozer account for him.
OnlyDozers… for the three people in the world with a sleeping in construction equipment fetish
I polled my household on buying an EV. 100% of the respondents said “Fuck you.”
I hope you replied to your wife “Challenge accepted” or somesuch (I always prefer “Hie thee to the bedroom, wench!” — but my wife rarely heeds me…)
I see no benefit in an EV for what I do and what my family’s needs are. But I can see how they’d work for some suburbanites. No idea how they’d be feasible for a majority of people in urban or rural environments though. Not without reliable home charging (urban) or a massive increase in range (rural).
Agreed. Its all situational and I think American’s were going in that direction organically. Its when its all or nothing, (see: vaccines, healthcare, public schooling, etc) where the push back comes into play and rightly so.
Maybe people are beginning to sense that it will never be the only solution because the technology doesn’t exist to allow it. Like the entire rest of the “net zero” fraud.
They built the cars without upgrading the infrastructure. Even if they had 500,000 chargers ready to install tomorrow it would be impossible due to current grid capacity. America needs to triple it’s megawatt output to fulfill their electric transportation dreams. And that doesn’t take into consideration the new transmission lines and substations that would be required. Currently the lead time for a new substation transformer is 30 months. None of this makes any sense for the scale and timelines being proposed. And we haven’t even discussed where the necessary trillions in infrastructure spending would come from? It’s all insanity.
Charging is also competing with data centers. The local fights over those are growing. Amazon is building a data center about a mile from me.
And regulations pushing electric appliances and HVAC and on and on.
The whole thing is a complete disaster in the making. And they know this.
The ensuing brown and blackouts, ever increasing prices to “maintain the grid” tied with “social equity” will force the demand curve to the point we won’t be competing with them for power. (Look at California… that’s their model and they’re happily moving along).
Until we throw up our hands and move into our 15 minute city apartment so we don’t have the transportation bills.
And a spare petrol car for real trips…
EVs are a very handy niche purchase for people with lots of parking space and who can afford to have more than one (expensive) car.
When you’ve used it up and the dead battery totals the vehicle, the cost of ownership becomes more apparent.
I considered buying an BEV when I replaced my car but the extra $20k buys a lot of gas and maintenance. A hybrid was a better value.
My next car will probably be a hybrid. Not because I think they’re environmentally friendly or anything, but because I want the incredible acceleration those electric motors do in a 535HP 992.2 GTS.
If maintenance holds up and I’m not hit with government mandates forcing behavior — my next car is more likely to be a hearse. I’m hoping to get another 20 years out of the ones I’ve got — and by then I’ll probably keel over working anyway.
That said, I guess the hearse can be a hybrid or even a full electric. Unlike Pie, I’m unlikely to complain.
The new hybrid 911 drive looks amazing. I’m very impressed how they tried to make it as light as possible.
However, it is both German and insanely complex. No way for me. Even if I had unlimited money.
Germans? Over-engineer something?
:fans himself: I do declare, suh…. you’ll give me the vapors with such slurs!
Germans? Over-engineer something?
It’s not over-engineered. It’s just German-engineered. Sadly, the GTS’s will probably all be sold on an allocation for the first 7-8 months so my chance at even a test drive will not exist for some time.
And I’m not buying something like that until I drive it first.
Sloopy, that sounds fun in a new-mustang-driver-dangerous way.
I’ve had the car six years. I’ve only paid to replace the regular battery. I’ve used less than 400 gallons of gas.
Like we said, over-engineered.
The German’s overengineer. The Italians underengineer. We need Swiss cars.
Nononononono
They’re worse than Ze Germans.
The dilemma is be facing is that I think the drive would be amazing, but at the same time I have the last of the NA GTS’s they made. And I’d have to part ways with it. I did not like the 991.2 turbo GTS’s exhaust note or feel when I drove one. So that and a 992.1 are right out. So it’s all the way to the hybrid or I keep what I’ve got.
Also, that sticker price is eye-popping. And not in a good way.
I used to have a BMW motorcycle. Most over-engineered GummiKow ever made. Seriously, you couldn’t get to the battery without dropping the rear subframe.
I do like my German guns though, but also “German engineered”
We need Swiss cars.
The Army went with Swiss guns so, why not?
OBJ FRANKELSON:
Well… the Science Center is next door already.
Why don’t people trust the systems we’ve skinsuited? They’re just the same as they were before!
I’m having much more fun following the stadium drama (that local media is trying to stir up, to little effect) locally. The suburb that has rumors around it for the new location just passed a resolution saying they would welcome the Browns building a stadium in their city.
Is the new stadium gonna have a retractable roof so they can try and get the Super Bowl?
That’s the (unfortunate) current plan if they build a new one in the ‘burbs. I don’t believe that’s in the plans for the renovations to the old stadium (at least based on any stories I’ve seen). What brought it to mind was the article on the A’s stadium, as one of the complaints coming from both sides is how it could “destroy” the economy of the suburb/downtown (depending on which side the person arguing is on).
If they do a roof but only close it in the case of a Super Bowl or extreme rain, it’d be fine. Sadly it usually results in the dome being closed all the time.
sloopy:
That’s my problem with a dome. I want the warm weather teams to suffer up here.
/waits for the Dolphins in Cleveland in December
The mask has completely slipped off the last 5 or 6 years. BLM rioters who burned and looted weren’t charged at all. White men who defend themselves are overcharged, people with the wrong politics are sent to gulags.
Other than that, the legal system is working great.
The mask slipped? They ripped it off, hurled it to the ground and did a New Guinea mud man warrior stomp dance on it..
What exactly is wrong with the current stadium?
The primary one being that it’s old. It was built back in 1999 for the returning Browns. It’s also in prime real estate, is amazingly underutilized (outside of games, there’s maybe a dozen events there open to the general public). There’s currently only spotty transit to the location itself (you can get within a couple of miles, but the Rapid line that terminates directly across the street from the stadium was closed for years and was only opened for game days last year).
Then there’s the usual complaints about concessions, ADA access, restrooms, and all the others that comes with a 20+ year old building. I’d be happy if they actually built out some damned network infrastructure there so the cell network/web access don’t just get crushed while everyone is trying to get into the stadium with their mobile tickets.
25 isn’t old for a building.
So it needs some renovations.
CPA:
As I stated below that’s one of the options. The downside to renovations is if they go long, the Browns would need to play somewhere else. There were some rumors of them playing in the Horseshoe if that’s the case, which seems like a terrible idea to me (2+ hours away from the city, with no easy transit options other than by car).
*laughs in Arrowhead*
?? I could see it from my office window downtown when I was there. Isn’t it an easy walk from Public Square?
But yeah football stadiums do not belong downtown anyway. What a waste of space.
And yeah, 25 years being “too old” is ridiculous.
rhywun:
It’s an under 1 mile walk to the stadium from Tower City, which isn’t bad during most days. It can get a bit… uncomfortable… near the end of the season with a good wind whipping off the lake. There’s another line (the Waterfront Line), which has two stops right next to the stadium. One on W 3rd St., the other about a block away (near the other stadium entrance).
They should have built a new one back in 99.
M&T Bank is a year older and in great condition, also currently receiving some minor renos.
Neph, be careful with the renovation, otherwise, it will look like a spacecraft is humping your old stadium.
*stares in Soldier Field*
Or hell… maybe Americans still remember their tradition that the government doesn’t get to tell us what to do and we should be skeptical and check ourselves when they trot out “studies”. The bully pulpit isn’t supposed to mean the President can bully the people into whatever the Executive branch wants, jackanapes.
But it has worked for so many other things and we accepted it.
That and having Presidential statements and FRAU DOKTOR Jill there to stare them down and remind them how miserable the Executive branch could make their lives apparently. Crips and Bloods are more subtle. Somali corruption gangs fortunately are not.
At least one article I read had some nice slight of hand in changing between addict and drug user interchangeably. When talking about the lying on the form, the statement was always couched as the form saying “drug addict”, while talking about Hunter, he was always just a “user” at the time, and was only an addict before and after the purchase.
Why doesn’t the prosecution call Joe as a witness? He’s got firsthand knowledge of Hunter’s drug use.
That would make for some good tv.
Judge: “I am denying this as it would be cruel to put someone who clearly has a failing memory as referenced in the Hur report on the stand and his testimony would not be considered sound”
That would be glorious…
Law & Order Special Victims Unit.
“Plus, when I reached out to him for a preliminary discussion he kept trying to challenge me to a fight behind his high school… or in a pool… or by a rain barrel filled with razors or something. I didn’t want to deal with the headache of holding him in contempt, so let’s just move on.”
As my college girlfriend would say: special is just another word for retarded.
I am absolutely, 110% convinced that SVU single-handedly forged a generation into helicopter parents, which turned another generation into coddled little pricks. I loathe that show with every fiber in my being.
Do you have a newsletter I could subscribe to?

And that’s where I tapped out.
Wait, what? I thought Biden’s reputation on the Hill was that he was a fucking incompetent idiot. That’s why Barak picked him, after all.
30 years ago he could talk all day. It was all bullshit and everyone knew it, but he could arrange sentences. In a normal world, he’d be selling used Cadillacs.
Ya know, in some some ways I feel sort of sad for Ol’ Joe. I understand his condition, sort of a lived experience, but let’s not go on with this game of pretend. He’s in decline, nothing to be embarrassed about, but with 350 M lives riding on his coat tails there’s no room for error.
My observations, over the years, is that when others begin to notice the changes it takes a couple years to finally admit the truth. Incompetency in judgement and inability to perform the physical requirements of the job can cause others to be hurt. At some point and we’ve passed that, the car keys have to be taken away from Joe.
We’re past that point. Whether Kamala can drive is a different story.
Instead he’s playing chicken with 2 other nuclear superpowers…
Never feel sorry for these people.
Seems so.
Clearly, the deep state is building up to pushing him out.
I wonder who’s next.
Yeah, looks like the Dems are planning a Torricelli move to just replace him at the last minute with another candidate. Which the courts will of course allow.
eye on Newsom and Whitmer’s goings-on
Kamala will cut both of those bitches. I’d say she’d cut the nuts off of them, but neither of them have any to begin with.
I don’t have any idea why Whitmer has any support (after “You can’t buy seeds unless I tell you peasants!! Oh… just ignore my husband getting the boat ready for our lake vacation…” and such). But surely, surely no one outside of the CA machine seriously thinks Gov Hair Gel has a f’ing chance after steering CA firmly into the canal, driving away as many actual taxpayers as possible, almost literally kowtowing to the CCP and proving they *can* clean up the cities — they just don’t want to for YOU and lighting literal billions on fire and shrugging his shoulders as the state racks up massive deficits…..
Ok, you know what… I guess he *is* perfect for the current Washington DC mode of governance. I just would prefer something a little different — plus it isn’t as easy to leave the US as it is CA.
I don’t have any idea why Whitmer has any support (after “You can’t buy seeds unless I tell you peasants!! Oh… just ignore my husband getting the boat ready for our lake vacation…” and such)
You must have missed all the “analysis” the last two days about how those measures saved millions of lives, and how without brave people like her, Newsom, and Fauci we’d have cut our population in half (that’s a bit of an exaggeration on my part). The media have their covid talking points down this cycle and they’re gonna be hammering it home if Biden steps down.
I guess I just assumed only the moron-iest of moronic useful idiots would buy that line of bullshit at this point. (The vaxes prevent spread and you’re immune!…..
Oh wait… they don’t prevent the spread…
Oh wait… you’re not immune….
They decrease symptoms! You would have been sicker! How do we know without peering into alternate timelines? We don’t! Just trust us!
Oh… you have to take them once every 2 months now!
Oh… and after the first 3 or 4 weeks your immune system is worse!
Oh… and the 6 foot rule? Pulled it out of our ass!
Oh… and masks? That too… except we had to ignore the ENTIRE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC WHERE THEY TRIED MASKS AND THEY DIDN’T WORK! But we’re THE SCIENCE!
Oh… and ignore Florida… and Sweden… and the other places that didn’t follow our
CCP mastersguidance…)I mean, yeah — there’s going to be a portion of the population that will happily bleat “4 legs good… 2 legs BETTER!” with every rewrite by the Party, but enough to get these assholes into office? I guess I’m not black pilled enough yet to think that. 2022 means I probably should, granted.
ObamaWhitmer created or saved millions ofjobslives.Trust me, the majority of people have no clue how bad Whitmer and Newsome are, and if selected by the Dems they will only know what the glowing reports in the MSM tell them.
Oh… and the 6 foot rule? Pulled it out of our ass!
Oh… and masks? That too… except we had to ignore the ENTIRE 1918 INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC WHERE THEY TRIED MASKS AND THEY DIDN’T WORK! But we’re THE SCIENCE!
I just want to point out that it’s even worse than that.
Masks and social distancing were protocols set up after SARS in the mid 2000s. They had 15 years to marinate on that stupidity and still decided to do it.
These were not bumbling idiots. They were wannabe Mengeles, playing “science experiment” with a captive audience.
One word: vulva.
Was this meant to a reply to an alternative to over-engineered German cars?
Over-engineered Swedish cars that are actually Chinese?
Smells fishy.
Did someone overdo the fish sauce?
FWIW, my parents are lifelong country club repubs that can’t stand Trump even a little bit, may have even voted D in the last election for the first time ever. They LOVE Whitmer as do many of their church friends. She “feels” normal to them and they would be totally on board with her taking over. I don’t get it, but they are my window into that large, moneyed and involved demographic. When I asked why they are on-board with getting involved in a hot war with Russia they gave me a blank look.
“Son,” he said
“Grab your things, I’ve coke to take you home.”
I love that line. There’s a lot of story packed into it.

That prosecutor in Texas cannot override the pardon. But he could be a snake and try the guy on different charges.
#Treechippersforeveryone
I’m not so sure Abbott wouldn’t preemptively pardon Perry if the local DA tried to charge him with a lesser crime.
But I’m not sure how the Texas constitution addresses preemptive pardons, since all pardons are vetted through a board process before they get to the governor.
Why isn’t there a local mob with pitchforks and torches camped outside the DA’s house?
Is there so little crime there that the DA is sitting on a huge budget with nothing else to do? Maybe instead of wasting all this money on a retrial, he could spend it on putting other criminals in jail.
That’s the kind of justice that comes next, whether these assholes know that or not.
Not following the details but the whole thing is so politically charged that I can scarcely believe the original conviction was on the level.
My money is on the DOJ not doing anything to Texas but opening up a Federal case against the dude who was just pardoned. Which surprised they didn’t do but white on white isn’t a civil rights violation in their eyes.
Commies are a protected class now.
That whole jeopardy thing is just a folktale.
This story feels like liberal pr0n.
Don’t read the comments. They are full of “I told you those jackpine savages were racist as fuck!” Also lots of stories about how rural Minnesoda is full of racists and black people are afraid to leave the Twin Cities.
Well… was the bank robber a black guy with dreds who was wearing a surgical mask?
I got about 5 paragraphs in and dropped out. Agree with your assessment. Any crises to move the progressive agenda forward.
RJ, I love you and I wish you could see how your words hurt people.
I lost so many friends during lockdown. Maybe I should just go commie and get them all back. Love! Love is the answer!
…Not.

Please tell me that’s a misprint.
In reference to their ballpark in Las Vegas….
I will not step foot into that building.
When the Twins stadium was being built I knew a woman – an Ecuadorean – who was married to a very wealthy guy here who started a company with her sister and got a huge contract because of a similar “goal” to use woman and minority owned businesses.
They would simply take an order for the materials that were needed, call some other shitlord company owned by white guys and have them deliver it. Add 10-15% and you can make a lot of money.
She was cute and connected. Even better she made no pretenses about what was going on. She simply added her fee and got out of the way, so the other construction guys liked her.
Jimbo, that’s standard operating procedure. Nothing special about that.
I assume half of any construction crew in Vegas is Mexican.
OFFS!!
Between the Mexicans and most likely any white guys in construction are vets anyway, not sure this is too much of a stretch. If women and the disabled make up the 51%, then the thing will never get built.
California Bay Area — I’m assuming the first $10 billion is for the environmental and feasibility studies. Look at the magic choo-choo and where it is at.
No that is the price tag for Las Vegas!
Er…sorry, 1.5 billion for the Las Vegas one.
Considering the costs for the stadium here is in the $2.4 billion (new – suburban)/$1 billion (renovations – downtown), and everything is more inflated in California, that still seems… inflated.
In comparison, the football stadium in the Jersey Meadowlands was around 2 billion and it was only around 10 years ago.
Imagine spending 2 billion on this
I’d like the price discounted by the demolition costs to clear that obstruction from the property.
And, sadly, there was nothing wrong with O’co. Bart goes right to it, so that boondogle is useful for once, and it is miles ahead of that shit pile in SF called a baseball stadium.
But, Oakland being Oakland fucked everything up.
there was nothing wrong with O’co
Now that is a take.
You are right: no enough parking.
$1.2B, but a 10x overrun would surprise no one.
Please tell me that’s a misprint.
How can there not be a decimal point missing?
You know, since that’s when women are generally crazy.
Maybe the dudes grading those cognitive tests decided they didn’t want to go through the hassle of flunking them and just gave them A’s?
That was how arguments with Mrs. Holiness went during The Troubles. She’d say something crazy and I’d agree. Worked much better than sticking to facts and stuff. The flaw was the Altar Kids. They’d set her off and then everyone was in the shit.
At least the bank robber wasn’t Somali, AFAIK. Or Asian.
My wife is disappointed when we go to a VN restaurant and the young wait staff don’t speak Vietnamese.
Wait until you find out the cooks are Filipino.
There was a chef on Triple-D who was Mexican but had learned to cook in a Korean restaurant – in Mexico.
The first Korean restaurant we went to when Mrs. Holiness and I moved back to Minnesoda had a waiter who tried to pretend he spoke Korean. It was pretty amusing to me, Mrs. Holiness was livid. (The food stunk too).
The guy didn’t even look Korean. We thought he was Hmong. But the guy tried to brazen it out. He even rolled his eyes a bit when my wife started asking him questions – like her Korean was bad.
Usually it is me who is mad when we go to an Asian restaurant. Because my wife gets good rice and because I’m white they bring me a bowl of that flaky Minute Rice crap.
No such thing.
You are truly a broke person UnCiv
No, I am convinced more than ever that I am the only Sane man here.
Madness… takes its toll.
My father used to be so proud of his rice. He’d rinse it 7 times and it came out very good – if you are an American and think rice should be flaky.
He was actually pretty upset when I told him that Asians like it clumpy and sticky. He had been looking forward Mrs. Holiness praising his rice cooking skillz.
UCS:
You are wronger than you have ever been. I’m no where near an expert, but it was eye opening to discover that there are many different kinds of rice!
Even when we were poor, poor, poor Mrs. Holiness would not buy the “rice” sold in supermarkets. She’d insist on only rice from the Korean market. When I went with her (because we buy in 20lb sacks) I was amazed at how many different types of rice they were selling there.
On the flip side, Mrs. Holiness has no idea what bread or cheese to buy (to this day). If we are doing something special like Reuben sandwiches, I have to buy the rye bread because she would come back with some random loaf and wonder why I was freaking out.
SDF-7:
Hey you. Don’t watch that… watch this!
Just because they have lots of cultivars of inedible starch doesn’t make it any less bad.
In the face of billions, UCS stands alone in his righteous fight.
I refuse to sacrifice the truth because of peer pressure.
*adds white rice to menu of next Honey Harvest*
Nephilium — believe me, I wavered on which way to go on that reply. But Sloopy’s played them a good bit lately so I figured go classic.
Here in NYC if I go into a Japanese restaurant odds are better than 60% the Asian staff will be Chinese (likely) or Korean.
I really don’t worry about it at the Panda Express all that much.
The Viet restaurant we go to is mostly staffed by whites, not surprising in Oregon. But we can see the cook, and I know she is Viet, plus the wife is making friends with her.
the wife is making friends with her

Influencers Are Driving a New Category of Unionizing: Pharmacists
https://www.wsj.com/business/retail/influencers-are-driving-a-new-category-of-unionizing-pharmacists-6c188daa?st=03puuf7u5ksegwq&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
My debate here is that all this unionizing isn’t to protect employees, it is to expand woke marxism.
I absolutely feel sorry for many pharmacists and the techs that work the big chains.
I feel sorry for anyone i the insurance and care delivery industry. Unions won’t help them, it will end up hurting them and controlling their options. Pay money out of pocket to a union for no perceptible benefits. The real decline for the entire industry was Obamacare. And I fear that will never be walked back.
If only Republicans were voted in, then they’d be able to repeal it.

Aw…
It’s from 2020
I hate the Internets
Pretty smart move from Trump. Sunset park is a shithole of a park in Las Vegas. Problem is, its going to piss off a lot more people because of its location. Catty-corner to the airport and intersection of two of the larger streets is going to make that area unbearable.
What I think is smart is it is a very public venue. Not some rich folks house or in a stadium or penthouse at a hotel.
“Biden Administration invites Trump to next debate in Dallas’s historic Dealey Plaza…”
Once again, I feel like Trump is getting good advice from someone. He’s actively trying to convince people to vote for him, while Biden sees anyone who didn’t vote for him as the enemy.
If his team was really smart, he’d take all the homeless that call Sunset Park their home and put them up on stage. Talk directly to them, not about them.
And what would he do when the first one starts going off about Zenu coming, and wanting to see them tiddies?
Ha! Didn’t think of that, did you, smart guy?

Researchers from The Netherlands analysed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than three million excess deaths since 2020, with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.
They said the “unprecedented” figures “raised serious concerns” and called on governments to fully investigate the underlying causes, including possible vaccine harms.
Welcome to the party, Telegraph Dare we hope for a little sanity to seep through the Wall Of Idiocy?
We need a lot more money to know for sure.
“With that kind of coordination, something might be up.”
I was skeptical this past year of the theory that Biden will drop out. But this is a huge tell, and I think that’s going to happen.
I still think it won’t make that big of a difference. Biden is corrupt and senile, yes, but his policies are Dem policies and there’s no hiding that. Is Newsome going to say “I’m no longer behind all the green energy and immigration that I was 100% behind last month”? The best they could do is “I’m just like Joe Biden just not as senile.” Not a huge seller.
As mentioned above, I don’t know about Whitmer — but there’s no way they can run “We’re better on the economy!” with Newsome… just “Abortions for you! Abortions for you! Abortions for your dead grandmother (and I appreciate her vote!)” which hopefully won’t suffice. I’d like to think the economy and the border still dominates this cycle, they certainly should. And CA is poster child #1 for how bad those policies go.
I think it’ll be harder for them if they don’t replace Biden at least a few months before the election with the candidate who’s gonna appear on the ballot. No way are people gonna vote for one of those two especially unless they see what policies they’re gonna actually implement. Especially with their track records.
Mail in ballots laugh at you.
I’ve been one of those claiming that they are going to dump Biden (along with a number of others here). And yes, the appeal is going to be either “vote for historic abortion woman!” or “vote for handsome abortion man!”. And that will certainly be enough to beat Donald Trump, all they need is a bit of a swing with independent voters. If they don’t do it, Trump is gonna win, their lawfare project hasn’t killed his support.
“I’m just like Joe Biden just not as senile.” Not a huge seller.
You’d be surprised. The LIVs care about things like charisma and public speaking capability over actual issue content.
Oh yes, it absolutely won’t change the direction of the Party – that is set in stone by whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes. It will continue to be the party of wealthy elites and welfare dependency.
Waiting until after the primary elections to force him out so they can replace him with whoever they want would be very on brand for the modern “muh democracy” Democrats.

Chicago is doing great.
Why is she complaining? She got a free abortion.
Carpetbagger
Republican Tim Sheehy won his party’s nomination to run for Montana’s U.S. Senate seat on Tuesday, according to a race call by The Associated Press.
Sheehy, a former Navy Seal and entrepreneur, is a political newcomer taking on incumbent Democratic Sen. Jon Tester in November. He addressed his lack of legislative experience head on at a dinner with Montana Republicans earlier this year.
Pandora keeps feeding me ads from some Montana political PAC featuring whiny-bitch complaining about how rich out of stater Sheehy bought a bunch of real estate and drove prices up for Real Montanans.
Look what happened to Oz. Some voters resent candidates (not named Clinton) who parachute into their state and claim they are the best person to represent them.
My prediction…another scrub. Hopefully this goes as planned if not a scrub. Then tomorrow SpaceX turning out another IFT Starship test tomorrow. Absolutely amazing.
At this point I’m hoping for a scrub — because I’m suspicious that if they try a manned test we’re going to lose a crew at this point.
And at this point, I’m going to repeat myself and sound like an idiot.
Balls on those astronauts is absolutely insane
^^ this.
Hopefully they didn’t forget the door bolts on this one.
This is test flight 3. Flight 1 was a failure. Flight 2 was mostly successful. Flight 3 should be uncrewed to ensure that the issues are ironed out and nothing else crops up during a different set of environmental variables.
They got one (or was it two) with cargo up and back. Sure they had all kinds of unplanned issues, but still…
As a Boeing stockholder I’m hoping they get something right. It hasn’t been a good 12 months.
Score one for Boeing. Now they need to ask Elon to use their Starlink to get onboard video longer.
I’m going to reserve judgement until the crew is safely off the vehicle.
Agreed with UCS – wasn’t one of the problems with Test Flight 2 a heat shield issue? That’s the part I’m worried about.
And have to agree with one of the YouTube comments along the lines of: “Didn’t know NASA licensed Kerbal Space Program mods…” SpaceX launches have really spoiled me.
Never, never, never let your commentators jump in with a “WHOOF!” and then mute.
Jesus Christ on a cracker people — I thought it blew up and they were muting until they figured out what happened.
Yeah that was a “oh fuck…” Looking good so far.
MechJeb really is essential.
Crunch time…t -11 mins. Go/No Go poll incoming.
I think the go/no go poll is so iconic. Green across the board it seems.
Its a go. God speed people!
Sheehy’s campaign platform includes proposals to cut the federal budget by shrinking the executive branch. He’s suggested the U.S. Departments of Education and Homeland Security could be eliminated, arguing they add bureaucracy for services states and local communities should provide.
You don’t say.
Who hasn’t want to do something to some person that just randomly stops and blocks traffic for no apparent reason?
According to the prosecutors, the incident involved a parent in a vehicle on Williams Street outside the Taunton High School. The woman said she stopped at the intersection when she sneezed and was trying to find a tissue. The crossing guard, later identified as Chaves, started yelling at her to keep driving.

Give him a cutting edge exoskeleton and drop him off next time the Pali Protesters try to shut down a hiway. Maybe a supercharged weed whacker too.
Ominous threats
Fresh off last week’s historic guilty verdict, former President Donald Trump had a warning for his political opponents on Tuesday.
In an interview with the conservative outlet Newsmax, Trump seemed to float the possibility of imprisoning his political opponents if he becomes president again.
“So, you know, it’s a terrible, terrible path that they’re leading us to, and it’s very possible that it’s going to have to happen to them,” Trump said when discussing his guilty verdict.
“Does that mean the next president does it to them? That’s really the question,” he added.
Since everything Democrats do is strictly on the up and up this can only mean one thing: Death Squads.
It will be interesting to read what yarn he spins about personally building Higgins Boats that will be promptly dismissed by the MSM.

He saved a village from German gas attacks and then destroyed a church spire hiding a sniper by jumping up into it. Then he took down Ares.
There was this bad dude Adolph … [inaudible] … yeah everyone called him Mais-Pop who I got into a rumble with. Dude was fascinated with my Aryan-like blond hair on my legs. Finally had to threaten him with a chain to get him to leave France.

Checkpoints and rows of police vehicles lined a major road leading to Beijing’s Tiananmen Square on Tuesday as China heightened security on the 35th anniversary of a bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protests.
China has long quashed any memory of the killings, when the Chinese government ordered in the army to end the months-long protests and uphold Communist rule. An estimated 180,000 troops and armed police rolled in with tanks and armored vehicles, and fired into crowds as they pushed toward Tiananmen Square.
The death toll remains unknown to this day. Hundreds, if not thousands are believed to have been killed in an operation that started the night before and ended on the morning of June 4, 1989.
Mow them down.
If I was a Chinese tank driver today, I’d totes put a bobblehead of a guy holding a plastic bag on the front of my tank as a hood ornament.
If you were a chinese tank driver today, you wouldn’t even get the reference.

Earth’s atmosphere is trapping more than twice as much excess heat now compared to 1993, making scientists increasingly concerned about the impact on the world’s oceans.
The planet’s energy imbalance is a measure of how much surplus heat there is in the climate system. It is the difference between how much energy enters Earth’s atmosphere from the sun, and how much is radiated back into space.
How? Paywalled.
The suspense is killing me.
Gibberish out
The rate Earth is warming hit an all-time high in 2023 with 92% of last year’s surprising record-shattering heat caused by humans, top scientists calculated.
The group of 57 scientists from around the world used United Nations-approved methods to examine what’s behind last year’s deadly burst of heat. They said even with a faster warming rate they don’t see evidence of significant acceleration in human-caused climate change beyond increased fossil fuel burning.
Last year’s record temperatures were so unusual that scientists have been debating what’s behind the big jump and whether climate change is accelerating or if other factors are in play.
“If you look at this world accelerating or going through a big tipping point, things aren’t doing that,” study lead author Piers Forster, a Leeds University climate scientist, said. “Things are increasing in temperature and getting worse in sort of exactly the way we predicted.”
Maybe they should look up in the sky at the big bright light.
“calculated”
🤡🌎
SCIENCE requires using United Nations-approved methods.
Their methods have become…unsound…
It’s always fascinating how they present themselves. According to the Leeds U website, Dr. Morgan has a BSc in Physics and a PhD in Meteorology. Almost all the research groups where he did his research are doing some kind of climate modeling.
Look the average temp of a human is 98 degrees or so, which is usually warmer than the temperature around them. So they are leaking excess heat into the atmosphere.
The only solution to this is to get rid of 6 billion or so of these heat bleeders.
* It would almost be worth it to have them actually get rid of all those icky humans they think are causing all the problems. Then watch as the remaining “elite” try to figure out how they are going to get a cup of coffee (or someone to clean their bathrooms).
AI and robots!
(And they’d be lucky if it turns out as well for them as for these hermaphroditic weirdos.
“…they don’t see evidence…” They dont see what they dont want to see whether it is there or not.
It’s pretty much explained by the buildup of carbon dioxide from rising fossil fuel use, he and a co-author said.
We checked the model, and everything!
