Link brand links.
The Link store was out of name brand.
Oh yeah? Well, the jerk store was out of you!
Think of the food packaging in Repo Man.
Go Meatloaf. Go!
Was Joe Perry playing guitar?
I just got a copy of Bat Out Of Hell on vinyl in the mail today. Obviously fate is rearing it’s head.
You haven’t checked your mail in 42 years?
Please solve the mystery of what he won’t do.
Srsly? You don’t know? Everybody knows that.
Don’t let your meat loaf.
Woo hoo!
Nobody likes dropping meatloaf.
Somebody took his eye off the potato.

You know they were having a ‘european’ house guest.
They all bombed, playing Caligula, and lost track of the hour.

Those who can see Paradise by the dashboard light.
But they won’t do that.
Someone with leftover Ticketmaster credits.
I saw him in ’88. His career was over. Spent the evening hitting up his daughter who was acting as manager for him. Struck out. Too bad. I was hoping for a little paradise by the dashboard light lights. No matter. He put on a really great show, despite only having half the band he really needed.
Today? Probably not. Still, hell of an act.
There was a period of time where he’d totally blown out his voice and had to give up performing.
Haven’t they always been gender-neutral?
Also, kids dolls are anatomically correct in Russia? This is a thing?
Barbie always had boobs, and Ken was mildly cut like you’d expect of a gym-body twink.
You are of course correct. They were asexual, but genderconforming in their presentation.
Of course someone figured this out.
Pine beetle infestations in nearby forests were the cause of concern when the fireworks were discontinued. These infestations can kill trees, which increases their flammability risk and, in turn, poses a potential wildfire hazard. Fireworks increased the risk that a fire would ignite.
Wot, no kkklimate change?!
Some studies suggest that climate change is causing some types of pine beetles to reproduce more rapidly and influencing their growth and development to make them more lethal.
Phew. I was a little concerned.
It is the zeitgeist of our time. It is the go to explanation for pretty much all of Natural History these days.
Wait,I thought climate change was wiping out animal life?
There is a lot of lodgepole pine up there and my understanding is it requires fire to reproduce. rump is solving global warming by reforesting with fire. WITH FIRE! He is the most metal President!
I think part of the issue was that having suppressed fires for so long and the extra dead trees associated with the bark-beetle infestation there was more kindling and the fires weren’t just burning through quickly and relatively coolly, they were sustained and hotter which didn’t just allow the release but destroys the seed and harms the parent tree.
Isn’t that a problem that can only be solved by biting the bullet and doing large burns? It isn’t going to get better over time.
Not necessarily. The federal government in the form of the forest service put out long term contracts for purchasing large tracts of timber sales to drastically thin out the trees. Long story short, it sort of worked…
In any event the area will regenerate quickly with lots of browse for some kind of critters. Other tree species may take over but nature-vacuum.
It really depends. Most of the area would regenerate to something, but there would likely be many areas where the already nutrient poor soil is so cooked that it won’t support much for decades. Certainly nature won’t mind, but it would likely affect water quality and cause other problems we humans don’t much care for.
Correct. Add in that the black hills is dominated by pine forest, so not much to stop a fire if it gets going, and you have the potential for serious problems.

I can’t believe how good my husband’s timing is. We just booked a week camping at Rushmore over the 4th of July last week! I’m very excited.
Good timing? Trump is actively attempting to burn the Black Hills down around you. STAY HOME!

“Quant Legend Seeks $1.5 Billion For New Fund Dedicated To Fighting Climate Change”
FTA:
Seemingly crafted to cash in on the ESG craze, Vogel’s Voloridge Sustainability Fund “will focus on companies affected by events such as floods, fires and natural disasters; firms that invest in efficient technologies; and electric-car makers and their suppliers,” according to anonymous sources cited by Bloomberg.
Here’s a rundown of the fund’s business plan:
About 30% of the Voloridge fund’s risk will be attributed to the three climate-related strategies, with the remainder made up of Voloridge Investment Management’s medium-term equity strategy – but include ESG rules and rankings. That strategy holds the average trade for about 45 days.
The new fund will also be market neutral – bets on rising shares will be matched by wagers on falling stocks – and invest in companies that are more efficiently spending money on sustainability and ways to address environmental issues, while wagering against those that aren’t. It will short industries usually excluded from ethical investing, such as firearms, tobacco and casinos, but won’t take long positions on them.
The new fund started trading this month using only internal capital. Vogel’s firm is coming off a hot year after its $2 billion Voloridge Fund gained 37% in 2019, while its $1 billion Voloridge Trading Aggressive Fund, which is closed to outside investors, gained about 31%. The firm manages about $3.1 billion.
Vogel has reportedly spent years closely studying data pertaining to climate change, and is also extremely passionate about the issue: He also runs a nonprofit focused on studying the effects of climate change.
According to Bloomberg, Vogel’s biggest challenge will be selling the fund to Wall Street: Just 23% of hedge fund managers surveyed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. said they believed ESG principles will help them outperform.
But cagey investors might spot another problem: Vogel’s 70-man firm is based in Jupiter, Fla., which is situated along the state’s Atlantic coast.
If one believes Greta Thunberg & Co., that city will be underwater in a decade or two.
For somebody who’s trying to sell a fund based on the idea of capitalizing on climate change, he sure doesn’t seem too worried about it’s impact.”
Also, quantitative analysis is voodoo science (damn, does it feel good to write that).
Nope, I’m happy with my low-fee Vanguard funds.
(Just wish I had more money to invest.)
John Bogle was a great man.
We have Fidelity through work. I was thinking about opening a Roth IRA with Vanguard though.
“The Roth IRA- for those who are hoping, against their better judgement, that the government won’t tax that shit twice”
Vanguard options are quite limited if you are using them as your investment firm.
Small cap index, mid cap index, S&P 500 index, international index, bonds. What else do you need?
“GOLD!”

+ Dann Florek
Personally, I use/like a lot more options. To each his own.
I’m the kind of guy that eats Cheerios for breakfast everyday, so it’s one less decision to make.
We’re heavy into “fat” FIRE, so spend a lot of time on investments/strategy.
Index funds and buy and hold are difficult to beat investments and strategies. The Bogleheads converted me.
^^ thisssssssssss
Lately many brokerages abolished their fees for stocks/ETFs. You can buy Vanguard funds with any of them.
Vanguard offers a “robo”.
https://investor.vanguard.com/financial-advisor/personal-advisor-services
The idea being that it is diversified, personal risk qualified and age appropriate.
I have my IRAs in Vanguard, but Fidelity has some great options available that you should check out. Then you can see your work contributions and Roth IRA all on one screen.
Thanks!
Know why they’re not worried? Just like Obama buying a house on Martha’s Vineyard and Di Caprio staying on his yacht….because they don’t believe their own bull shit. But bull shit they must to look good while virtue signalling. And they expect US to pay for it all.
Fuck that. And I hope people use their noggins for once and see the shell shill game at play here.
I know a con when I see one…and a money suck.
Let the lobbying for more green shit begin!
Holy cow, i think he’s gonna make it!

Brushing aside what he said were dubious environmental concerns that had previously prevented fireworks at the South Dakota landmark, Trump said he’d secured this year’s show easily.
“What can burn? It’s stone. Nobody knew why,” Trump said of the concerns over the environment.
What a scamp.
He never got his parade with tanks, so why not?
Somehow, by wife already knows about the “Paducah Fabric Store”.
I get this feeling that I am being set up.
Bitch set me up.
Yeah, I was going to mention that’s in town too. Don’t worry, it’s not that big.
Paducah Kentucky? I grew up there (moved to Texas in 97). Hit up Dry Ground Brewery if you have time – they’re good.
My wife and I are heading to Nashville for the National Homebrew Convention. I was looking for things to see/do along the way.
Someone mentioned the National Quilt Museum.
So now, it appears were are spending two nights in Paducah (it is along the way from Iowa).
Cool, so you’re already pre-disposed to try out beers. I go back once a year at either Thanksgiving or Christmas to visit family, and usually end up spending an afternoon at Dry Ground. A few years ago the poor schmucks didn’t even realize what they had – they were legitimately as good as, if not better, than quite a number of larger/more established micro-breweries around here (Dallas), but didn’t know it. When I asked their distribution range, one of them pointed to another and told me that it was as far as that dude’s van could drive.
For Thanksgiving last year they had a fantastic chocolate milkshake stout that they served with Nutter Butters to dip in. I’m normally wary of kitchy small-batches like that, but it was out of sight.
*edit* You should write an article about the convention when you get back.
Imagine going to any home improvement show/convention. There will be a showroom with lots of people trying to sell you their scientific gadgets for making beer — many of them serving you beer from their booth.
Thursday (club night) and Friday (pro nigh) are basically beer festivals with dozens and dozens booths serving beer.
There will be class sessions about making beer. And most people do pub crawls in between.
That is NHC.
So large crowds of inebriated enthusiasts? Not my cup of tea, but I hope you have a great time.
Some combination of what you described and Wasteland Weekend is what I want my own personal afterlife to be like for eternity.
There are some really good BBQ places in Paducah. But even better is Owensboro.
Don’t think I’ve ever tried anyplace there. Recommendations?
We ate lunch at Just Like Mama’s in Metropolis, and liked it a lot.
Is that Trevor Lawrence in the picture?
He fell off that stage like a bat into hell.
According to Bloomberg, Vogel’s biggest challenge will be selling the fund to Wall Street: Just 23% of hedge fund managers surveyed by JPMorgan Chase & Co. said they believed ESG principles will help them outperform.
I’m surprised they found that many. They should go back and ask those guys if they would put their own money in that stuff, and not just clients’.
Yeah, I think I’ll stick with this…
https://www.ccn.com/why-the-dow-jones-could-rampage-past-30000-within-days/
Any company in that will only ‘make’ money when they receive subsidies for their green bullshit and as soon as that runs dry they will tank. The people setting up the fund are likely connected or already in charge of subsidies and will likely make money. The useful idiots putting their money in….not so much.
What is ‘federalism’?
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the enforcement of President Trump’s executive order that would allow state and local officials to opt out of accepting refugees — the latest judicial hurdle for the administration’s immigration policies.
U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte agreed to issue the preliminary injunction, which had been requested by three faith-based national resettlement agencies: HIAS Inc., Church World Service Inc., and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.
Trump issued the executive order in September saying that the federal government would only resettle refugees if states and local governments had consented to do so — giving states a de facto veto over whether they would resettle refugees. The government is expected to appeal the injunction order.
“State and local governments are best positioned to know the resources and capacities they may or may not have available to devote to sustainable resettlement, which maximizes the likelihood refugees placed in the area will become self-sufficient and free from long-term dependence on public assistance,” the order said.
It’s an upside down world. Anything not mandatory, is prohibited.
I approve of the front page picture and the lead picture. This clueless straight guy doesn’t want those that like looking at men to feel left out.
“Have you considered that it could simply be a manufacturing defect? Or they accidentally put a female head on a male body?”
I think that is more likely.
“What can burn? It’s stone. Nobody knew why,” Trump said of the concerns over the environment.
The trees nearby? But on the other hand, yes to fireworks.
Lurking deep inside some tumours are “factories” full of immune cells that help the body fight a rearguard action against cancer and are key to helping some patients recover, new research shows.
I like this.
I like Cheap Trick.
Those are some fellows of size. I think you might be targeting the Warty demo more than the “people who find men attractive” demo though.
Is that a fox?
The context link has the full size version of it, which I imagine would be easier to figure out.
Is that Star Fox?
You’d have to ask HM. Context.
“Clueless” is the operative word.
I think with those guys it only matters what THEY find attractive, dudes who toss around 1/3 ton rocks for recreation can use linebackers as spinners.
This is Fucked up, it is Cali though,

As some of tou may recall, the wife and I were right there when Meatloaf had a great fall – I think I mentioned it in the annual article I write about our adventures at Texas Frightmare every year.
I don’t really have anywhere else to go with that story. I was there, he fell, had to be taken for medical evaluation, his panel was cancelled. He did seem to have a consistently decent autograph line before that.
How hard did the ground shake when he fell?
Gojira’s wife: *outstretches arms* Oh my God- is that an earthquake? Why is the ground shaking?
Gojira: *holds onto wife* Don’t worry honey, I got you
*lights swing perilously above*
Random Concert Goer: Oh my God, there’s a beached whale here! Somebody get a marine biologist, fast!
I don’t remember if I *actually* felt the ground shake, or if my brain is inserting that memory because I imagine that’s what would happen.
At least she has a nice rack.
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has named Kimberly Guilfoyle as the new national finance chair of the Trump Victory Finance Committee, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.
Guilfoyle, the campaign confirmed to Breitbart News ahead of a public release of the move, will lead a nationwide volunteer and grassroots fundraising program targeted at recruiting and activating bundlers across the country to help the president’s reelection push.
“The stakes have never been higher in a presidential election, which is why it’s my honor to serve as national chair for the Trump Victory Finance Committee,” Guilfoyle said. “The president’s record of success is drawing unprecedented support from across the country, and these crucial financial resources will ensure he’s in a strong position to win in November.”
Colluding with Russia was one thing. Now Drumpf is colluding with Faux News.
Eh…Guilfoyle is the beta model for the brunette smoke show that Fox use to have before they sexually harassed her into resigning

Even better
Andrea Tantaros is hot.
Here’s another good one from her instagram page.
Isn’t she one of Trump’s kid’s squeeze, good way to keep the campaign money in the family.
I miss Lori Rothman. After her and Red Eye disappeared, I lostmy last two reasons to watch FN/FBM.
Guilfoyle’s legs were her bestest asset.
Hate her voice and personality though.
Yup. Andrea is way smarter.
The onion can sometimes still do it:

“Faith-based” groups can now compel government action?
WTF SRSLY?
And why do they have standing?
Because shut up and bend over.
Because FYTW?
Because racist.
Lost revenue.
Orange Man Bad?
I may be wrong, but I think the federal government has used these groups to resettle refugees since before the “faith based initiative” stuff. Their standing would likely be that this order would detrimentally impact their work.
So I woke up to water under the floor board in the master bath, so went to shut off the main water supply only to have the valve break. So I shut water off from the street supply and pulled the valve, took it to Home Depot and got a 1 inch replacement. Got home and discovered it’s 1 and 1/4. Had to shower at the gym. Luckily it’s super busy and I’ll probably have to work late. yay.
Sorry to hear that. Did you at least think of the Benny Hill theme song while this was happening?
I thought about burning the house down. Does that count?
Relevant.
Or, you could have tried this.
Haven’t we all.
With your luck the water from the leak would put it out.
Hearty chuckle*
Yup.
Turn the water heater off if you have the mains turned off, as a precaution
I didn’t know that. Thanks.
Sorry.
Thanks. Plumber is coming Friday. Hopefully he is gentle with me.
There’s an inch and a quarter joke in there somewhere…
*takes microphone from stand*
And what’s with 23 mm valve nuts?
If your valve nuts are 23mm, consult a doctor immediately.
Nobody needs 23mm of valve nuts.
I think I’ve replace most of the valves in this house. Good valves are cheap, in the big picture, but fucking builders put in garbage.
Why aren’t ball valves standard everywhere?
I’m assuming it’s Trump’s fault.
At least they bothered to put valves in. *mutters *
Ah yes, the missing shut-offs for the shower and bath.
That’s handy for replacing fixtures, eh?
The whole upstairs (2 full baths) and parts of the basement with no valve separating them.
Now I add a valve whenever I shut off the main, which luckily hasn’t happened since I replaced the garden house bib last year. thank God for pex and shark bites.
Word.
Valves need to be everywhere.
I ran into a similar problem about a decade ago.
All of the valves outside are gate valves. Two of the hose valves were leaking, so I grabbed replacements. But when I went to sweat the joints, I learned that the main valve was also crappy and had a tiny amount of water coming through when closed.
Why is this important, you ask? Well, I’m trying to get the pipe up to temp, and water keeps running down the line. Just a tiny bit, but enough to make me worried that I’m never going to get it up to temp. It took an inordinate amount of time to get that joint done – and all that torch work scorched my wall.
All thanks to cheap gate valves that don’t close right.
Virginia Governor Declares State Of Emergency Ahead Of Pro-Gun Rally
“We have received credible intelligence from our law enforcement agencies that there are groups with malicious plans for the rally that is planned for Monday,” Northam said during a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
Let’s see that evidence. Unless ANTIFA was planning on showing up, then I might believe him.
Same trick VA played with the Charlottesville madness. They declared a state of emergency to stop Nazis from protesting. Led to someone getting killed. Civil libertarians all of a sudden silent
Civil Libertarians instead called for mass ostracism and censorship of the unwoke.
Neither civil, nor libertarian.
It’s a shitty attempt to paint all guns rights activists as violent racist.
We know it’s going to work, right?
He’ll get by with a little help from the press.
Northam is one of the most repugnant pieces of shit in American politics today, which really says something. Lucky for us Virginians, he’s not even the most vile elected official in the state – that would be Mark Herring.
Po-TAY-to, Po-TAH-to.
Northam is a giant pussy.
It wouldn’t surprise me that the cops or other Commonwealth-affiliated groups have malicious plans for the rally.
Supposedly VCDL has been buddy-buddy in coordinating with the City/State police. So idk whats going to happen but I wouldn’t be surprised if Profa showed up and caused a Charlottesville type situation. Either way I will not be in Richmond that day.
Fears Charlottesville style violence? More like welcomes it so he can get all the Betlwayarians to call for gun bans,
Yep, get people so worked up that there is violence and then crack down.
Fearing potential violence, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam is declaring a state of emergency and is banning firearms and other weapons on the Capitol grounds in Richmond ahead of a gun rights demonstration planned for next week.
I’m sure bike locks and cups of cement are still allowed.
Scare people and suppress turnout by those fearing Antifa violence and police inaction.
So is the governor planning on breaking out the fire hoses or not?
He doesn’t have many, but Mayor Stoney does.
At this point I assume the group with malicious plans is antifa and the gun grabber is using their threats to tar the pro 2A groups deliberately.
I was going to bitch ab out the late lynx, but the pictures make up for it. All is forgiven.

So can someone explain to me how Grandpa Gulag is a libertarian?
Also they claim this applies to all countries while claiming that only in the US is Sanders leftist and supporting “unfettered market forces” and opposing state healthcare is mainstream.
Not to mention the whole four-quadrant is based on American politics of the 1960s and 1970s so not universally applicable.
I guess they don’t have access to a dictionary. Sanders is about as libertarian as I am a communist.
The Bernie Bros I know actually have some libertarian impulses, they just have broken minds from our educational system. The thought process seems to be:
1. Liberty is good
2. Government & big businesses are frequently in bed together to the detriment of smaller businesses and individuals
3. This crony capitalism must be stopped.
4. brain breaks down
5. Giving Government more power over businesses will somehow accomplish #3
This is why all the libertarian glee at college kids talking about freedom leaves me cold. They talk about freedom, then they turn to big Government as the source of freedom. That is like someone deciding they want to eat healthy and then doing their grocery shopping at the candy store because the candy is plant based.
Oreos are vegan!
Correct. My best friend is exactly like this. He was a Bernie bro in 2016, I tried convincing him to vote for gay Jay, but I doing think it worked, given gj’s fucking around.
Deranged cat lady pushes Russian conspiracy theory.
Sources told CNN that the speaker “mused that sometimes she wonders whether McConnell has Russian connections” during a closed-door meeting with the Democratic caucus.
Pelosi criticized McConnell for “acting like a rogue Senate leader” and raised concerns about the Russian hacking of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
Over the weekend, Pelosi also said McConnell is an “accomplice” to Russian election interference.
McConnell has faced accusations that he is in league with Russian interests before, including from MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough, who labeled the senator “Moscow Mitch.” In July 2019, McConnell called such claims “modern-day McCarthyism,” adding that they are “toxic and damaging because of the way [they warp] our entire public discourse.”
Progressives Call On African Americans To Quit Their Jobs To Avoid Being Used As A Trump Statistic
“If you really cared about the cause, you’d quit and become homeless so we could tell everyone how bad Trump’s economy is for black people,” communist activist Pau Jamm told his only black friend in a Portland coffee shop Wednesday. “You guys are really killing us here with how much you’re working.”
Some committed progressives are even firing black people in order to show just how bad the economy is for minorities. Austin woman Britney Baila sat down one of her employees, black man Henry Porter, to let him know that he was being fired for his own good. “Listen, you’re doing great — you’ve been a valued part of this organization for several years now. But you’re just not helping the narrative that Trump is harming minority workers.”
Perfect
We need bee quote marks or something.
? beemojis?
Good idea!

Gang Of Known Criminals Holds Meeting To Discuss How Much Of Your Money To Steal
So, it’s probably too local, but lemme tell you why I love the Bills Mafia. Some loudmouth jackass named Jerry Coleman from the radio in Baltimore started ragging on Bills fans. Talk about how our city sucks, etc. It was pointed out on Twitter that he had a pinned tweet about his mom having Alzheimers, and a link to a charity. Bills fans, instead of just shitting on the guy, instead decided that we would donate money to the charity instead. It looks like drunken Bills fans donated over 7k to the charity.
Here’s some audio when he started to take notice today.
It’s about being a dick in the nicest way possible. That’s my fucking city.
Wait. Some guy in BALTIMORE is talking crap about another city? I’m sorry. I’m letting that sink in.
Yeah, I was having the same reaction. Probably about 20 years ago he would have been right, but it’s actually starting to get liveable here.
The success of the chicken wing industry really made a huge impact.
Get out.
Heh, sometimes I miss Buffalo. Imagine if the state government wasn’t trying to destroy it?
Have you visited lately?
It is vastly changed.
Nope. Not since I packed my bags on North Street and headed to California ~25 years ago.
It’s about being a dick in the nicest way possible.
So, libertarian role models?
They were already my 3rd favorite NFL team solely for this.
Once Mahomes is retired they’ll move up to 2nd.
Slander! We don’t throw dildos. It’a not our fault that Brady drops his mouthpiece on the field and we get blamed for it.
As a long time listener of Coleman on 105.7 here in Baltimore I must say that he is an absolute local treasure. He got shit from bills fans on Twitter about the upcoming game (which sucked) and took it out on all of them in a very general manner along with the city of buffalo. He stated it was all in good fun until one of them brought his mom into it when he stated that his mother was dying from autism, prompting him to post the charity link, which many bills fans donated to. He talked about it today and was very gracious and thankful for the donations.
Their standing would likely be that this order would detrimentally impact their work.
Boo fucking hoo.

This may be anecdotal. My in-laws have housed foreign college student athletes for several years. Kids from France, Brazil, Serbia, the UK and Poland. They’ve all had one thing in common, after graduating they desperately want to stay in the United States.
It also suffers from a self-selection bias.
“It’s funny how many people from Illinois are on this flight to Chicago.”
They should compare with individual states — I’m sure the bad ones are mostly very blue, or at least the bad areas in them are blue.

What’s the unemployment rate in all those countries?

I’m currently on a month of newborn leave. It’s a perk of my job and one they advertise heavily. I also make a hell of a lot less than other people at other places with my job title.

You shouldn’t be free to choose a compensation package of your liking!!!

Basically, that seems to be “The people there engage in wrongthink”
The US doesn’t cut it when it comes to leftist shibboleths. How dreadful.
“Gun Violence”
Gun violence is not about guns, it is about culture. What no one seems willing to say is that nearly ALL of the gun violence in the US is concentrated not just in urban areas but certain neighborhoods in urban areas. Those urban areas also happen to be mostly minority, either black or immigrants from countries with violent honor cultures. Go into rural areas filled with deplorables….you know, gun nuts….and you find gun violence to be almost non-existent. Yet those deplorables are the primary target of the gun control crowd not because the grabbers want an end to violence but because those same deplorables are the least likely people in the world to bend the knee.
Interesting map: https://www.thetrace.org/features/gun-violence-interactive-shootings-map/?place=Richmond-Virginia
Same pattern everywhere in the country. Certain neighborhoods of urban areas, barely a smattering outside of that.
Gun control isn’t about guns. It is about control.
Nice link – thanks.
Ditto.
Interesting map. Take out the 4 biggest metro areas in MN and the map is nearly blank
Huh, stay out of the cities.
Good. We’re a shitty place to seek sanctuary. Get the illegals the fuck out of here then. Send them somewhere more “safe” – for the children.
Which is why all those counties have far higher birth rates, oh wait. ..
Pointless virtue signal is pointless
The Equal Rights Amendment is one step closer to ratification in Virginia after a house committee voted 13-9 to move the amendment to a full floor vote Monday morning.
A Senate committee already advanced a similar resolution. The resolutions are now before the full House and Senate, and final passage could come as soon as this week.
ERA advocates say the measure will enshrine equality for women in the Constitution, offering stronger protections in sex discrimination cases. Opponents warn it will erode commonsense protections for women, such as workplace accommodations during pregnancies.
Once the measure advances fully through both chambers, Virginia would become the decisive 38th state to approve it, surpassing the three-quarters of states needed to add an amendment to the Constitution.
But even if it’s ratified, court battles are expected over a long-passed 1982 deadline set by Congress, as well as other legal issues.
It should be a very short court battle.
It should be a very short court battle.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha
3 years and a circuit split minimum.
Apparently the argument is that the preamble mentions the deadline, not the text, even though no one at the time thought that was a real change or how the preamble is the only place that mentions that State Legislatures are the ones to ratify which advocates won’t ignore. Or how Congress can extend the deadline, let alone retroactively.
Or That five states revoked ratification.
A bunch of defeated Confederate states tried that so…RACIST!
They want it both ways. Five
States have revoked ratification and so they have to argue that A deadlines don’t matter and B states can’t revoke ratification before an amendment is ratified.
You forgot: The Preamble stating how the Amendment is to be ratified still matters but the deadline in the preamble doesn’t matter.
Note how both the deadline and the requirement of ratification by state legislatures is in the same sentence.
https://www.heritage.org/the-constitution/report/the-1972-equal-rights-amendment-can-no-longer-be-ratified-because-it-no
In this case the “preamble” states a legal qualifer. And I had previously hear that some states revoked ratification. Checkmate*.

It’s only fair.
“No future President should entertain the idea that Article II means he can do whatever he wants” – Speaker Pelosi, upon signing the articles of impeachment.
1. He? Sexist.
2. If only she meant it, because of course it will be ignored when Team Blue is back in office with a pen and a phone.
Not sexist. A woman president would listen to the people, form a consensus, and do what’s right for the American people.
The correct interpretation
It’s as if Obama didn’t act just that way for eight years straight.
And of course as a politician, she ignores context. His comment was in regards to firing Comey.
I figured this was how she was announcing she’s supporting Bernie.
Every time Bernie enters my mind from not until the moldy old commie dies I will hear “What are going to do with all the liberals? – Oh, they get the wall first.”
All of the liberals and berniebros are going to roll their eyes up in their heads and pretend that was never said.

Search Louisiana, it is a particularly enlightening example of what I was talking about.
Hey Suthen, we were generally in your neck of the woods last week…four days in NOLA.
“four days in NOLA.”
I am sorry
Good food, good music.
We were happy.
Yep, pretty quiet except for the metro areas
14 shootings since 2014, 6 dead, 9 wounded in a city of 80k. I think I am safe.
That is in a larger metro area (my city os not the metro core).
Hm. The one homicide shown in my neighborhood actually happened miles away.
The shootings in our area are unsurprisingly primarily in the ghettos.
In my town, last year there were something like five shootings near me. Four were at the intersection of Madison and President, right in front of a public housing complex. The fifth was a block away and was related to a high school beef; a kid got shot walking around with some friends by another kid driving past. Both lived in that same public housing.
My wife put on the world’s worst beauty pageant, AKA the Democratic presidential debates, for about twenty minutes. Wow. None of these clowns can come even close to beating Trump. It was hilarious listening to these people try to finagle some kind of advantage out of Iran and the USMCA.
My wife refuses to watch those things, and she can’t stand Trump (she cried the night of the election). She was rolling her eyes at a news report about it this morning though. I told her that between the debate and the Bernie and Warren supporters fighting that my estimate of Trump winning 40 states was too low. She gave me a look and then said that I’m probably right.
Has she explained what she doesn’t like about Trump? I have yet to get a rational or honest explanation out of any Trump hater
He destroyed the USFL.
It was destroyed before they played their first game. Kind of like his casinos in Atlantic City.
We’ve discussed this before, but I wasn’t a Trumpian. I thought he was going to be Peter King in the Oval Office. To my surprise, in most areas, he’s kicking ass. There’s never been a President I agreed with 100%, but Trump is up there. I would still like to shove his iphone up his ass.
Seems the Deep State and MSM hatred of him and his genuine dislike of the regulatory state has lead to some libertarianish impulses showing.
According to the political compass I posted above Trump is an extreme-right authoritarian. I’m not sure how that jives with his dislike of the regulatory state which is something that right-wing authoritarians love.
Saw that and rolled my eyes.
I Speak Fluent Jive,
Or do you mean Jibe?
And it came as a complete surprise to me.
If Trump didn’t have Twitter his approval rating would be 10 points higher.
I don’t think he’s as libertarian-ish as some of you all do. He’s your standard politician, basically. He’s better than our last few leaders but that doesn’t say much. I’ll vote for him against most anyone the Dems put up though, because they’re genuinely frightening to me.
He’s a 90s Democrat.
The entire mainstream Republican Party are 90s Democrats nowadays.
I thought 90s Democrats were the libertarian moment?
Also Republicans being Old School Democrats is nothing new. That is their whole MO since Eisenhower.
I know, tallest midget and all.
Disagree about his Twitter use. Yes, some of it gets cringey, but it drives his enemies into rages and fits of stupidity.
Mostly afraid he’s going to get us into a major war (she didn’t exactly like it when I told her that Hillary was more likely than Trump to do that).
She doesn’t like any of the Dem candidates though, save Yang and Mayor Pete. She’ll vote for Biden if she has to. She won’t vote, as far as she’s told me, for Bernie/Warren/Bloomberg.
Mine hates him because he was a big Obama foe, he’s boorish, and she swears he’s a big ol’ racist rape monster. He’s an obnoxious, rich white guy who isn’t sorry for it. I think that’s the main gripe.
yep, he represents the subhuman white working class vermin that our rich white urban elites hate so much.
Correct answer is that he doesn’t pretend to be sorry for being a rich white man since the SJWs are perfectly fine with their money and fancy houses.
Except the first, none of that has anything whatsoever to do with being president
Well, if it did it would be one thing, but LBJ was a notorious boor and nevertheless seemed to keep it together enough to not ignite WW3, and Trump seems better than he was. Obama was pretty racist, and I’ll bet we’ve had more than a few other racist presidents–FDR leaps immediately to mind–but, again, if it doesn’t affect performance on the job I don’t care. Frankly, the word is thrown around so much that it means nothing to me anymore. As for accusations of rape, I’m still waiting on actual proof. So far, all I see is a bunch of screaming lunatics who hate the man and have already shown they’re willing to level false accusations against their political foes.
It’s because he’s a type, and people of a particular ideological or political bent hate the type the same way some people hate Pajama Boy. Leonardo DiCaprio owns a goddamn cruise ship of a yacht and only dates women under 25, but he goes on about climate change so he’s ok. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is, ironically, the very stereotype of the rich, cruel, Republican WASP, and because he hasn’t banned straws from the White House or apologized for the Enlightenment he’s a racist misogynist anti-Semite Russian spy.
The phrase you’re looking for is “curb stomp.”
As in, Trump will curb stomp anyone the DNC runs against him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism
So what exactly is populism then? “Us vs. Them” and attacking the “corrupt serving elite” have been the bedrock of politics for millennia. Classical Liberalism was all about attacking the Catholic (or Crypto-Catholic) Other and the corrupt Church and Aristocracy.

That’s why you’re no fun at parties. Also, not libertarian.
So you have to be a Mexican then?
Is a pretty great response.

Leftists trying to discredit libertarians. I don’t know why they bother, libertarians are doing a fine job all on their own. See TOS.
I’m pretty sure they are socons, not leftists.
What about eating ass?
Excuse my ignorance, not following the twits, and not being familiar with Liberty Hangouts, but, good grief, is “libertarian” now defined by self-identified “SJWs” on the Twitter with rhetorical garbage like “words have meanings”?
Unless one actively suggests, when prompted, that something is “beautiful, stunning, and brave”, then it means they are an intolerant shitlord? I remember Chef’s brilliant speech about tolerance from ’90s South Park. Good grief we’re a long way from that now.
Yes? Need those cocktail party invites.
Turns out society is still perfectly fine with ostracizing people with improper beliefs but what is now improper has changed. Tolerance! Pluralism! Social Liberalism!
It’s a mad mad world.

Victory.
That was friggin’ awesome.
That was Pope Jimbo!
Mongorian?
And I’m assuming that was a honking rock of salt?
I will absolutely surrender to the awesomeness of your pic and song selection.
Well done, Spud.
Links took me about 10 minutes.
I wore out my cassette of Live At Budokan.
I’ve listened to that song now four times in a row.
Five.

Risky click of the day.
That pussy got topped.
That’s a brave chipmunk.
Not a chipmunk. I think it was a sugar glider.
I like to listen to old-time radio dramas. I have hundreds of hours of them on my phone that I listen to in the car. Mostly police dramas like Dragnet.
An ad that comes up once in a while comes from the early 50s. It’s an anti-racism ad. The announcer talks about how none of us would knowingly betray our country, but we do so if we’re tolerant of, or don’t fight back against prejudice. It mentions some common prejudices (“Christian against Jew, white neighbor against colored neighbor, and native born against foreign born”). Why? Because that’s what the communists want. “They’d like to see us divided. If our enemies could divide all the small groups that make up this country, then we would be weak. And could easily be overcome”. Ends with an excoriation to work against prejudice and “accept or reject people on their individual worth”.
Something of an interesting parallel to how the left is trying to divide people on those exact lines nowadays. And how accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth is now bad.
Democrats encouraging racial tension to defeat Republicans and create a one-party state? Never happened before.
Dayum, that’s awesome. And absolutely correct.
I used to love “CBS Radio Mystery Theater” when I was a kid. I should look into that.
Sounds interesting, where do you download those from?
+1
Not JB, but Radio Classics on SXM. Pretty sure I heard that commercial too.
Gracias
Been years, but I think this is the place I downloaded from. Old Time Radio Library
The thing I notice about old-timey radio is that when they pinned a murder on a guy or gal they pretty much just assumed s/he was going to the chair. Justice was quick and unforgiving. Also Marshal Dillon was a Capital ‘A’ Asshole.
Yeah! Give me Andy Griffith as my sherif.
When I got involved with IDPA, they used a magazine loaded with one round that they’d chamber before loading a full magazine. This 1-round holding mag was called a “Barney.” I kicked myself at how long it took me to figure that out.
We could use more cops with only 1 bullet.
This reminds me of another thing from a radio drama. I think I’ve mentioned it before.
So there was this show that lasted 2 years called “Tales of the Texas Rangers”. It was a Dragnet-like (“Names, dates and places have been changed for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record.”) show about a Texas Ranger named Jace Pearson, played by Joel McCrae, who was a pretty big movie star at the time.
At the end of one episode he tells an anecdote about a Ranger who would carry his revolver with only 5 bullets, with the hammer resting on the empty cartridge. He says that the Ranger said that would protect the gun from being accidentally fired, for instance.
When asked if having only 5 bullets might harm his position, he said “If you can’t hit your target with 5 shells, the 6th one won’t matter”. I think of that when I hear about modern police spraying bullets everywhere (and hitting everything but their target).
“Also Marshal Dillon was a Capital ‘A’ Asshole.”
SHUT YOUR DIRTY WHORE MOUTH!!!
Agreed. Marshall Dillon was the man.
If by ‘the man’ you mean an authoritative dickhead who bent the law he claimed to uphold whenever it didn’t quite jive with is personal feelings than yes Marshall Dillon was ‘the man’. I’ll take Britt Ponset or Paladin, not lawmen but they held themselves to a higher ethical standard than that douche bag Marshall, Oh and Chester is a sniveling cunte.
Yeah.
It isn’t parallel, it is the exact same. That is exactly what identity politics is about and the goal hasn’t changed one bit. It is a deliberate, calculated attack on civil society.
Hey JB, you’re probably gone by now, but I listen to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio (website and 6-day-a-week podcast). If you haven’t seen it, you might be interested.
Just saw the 2020
rock and rollhall offamewinners. What an absolute joke.Lynk?
No Boston or Foreigner?
It’s in Cleveland FFS, what do expect, a Lou Reed, Lemmy and Neil reunion?
Until the Kinks are init will continue to be a joke.
It doesn’t matter if the Kinks ever get in. It has been a joke almost since it’s inception, and will continue to be one until it changes it’s name to the Pop Music Hall of Fame.
Also, the Kinks were inducted 30 years ago.
Oh well, I guess it’s all good then, rock on! Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

C’mon. Depeche Mode fuckin’ rocks.
I love them, but they are not R&R.
Halls of fame are fucking retarded, regardless.
Agreed. I like that it attracts visitors to Cleveland, though. They need all the help they can get.
It’s still a fun way to spend 3 hours.
I have to visit a vendor there soon. I’ll definitely go.
That could be a Ramones song.
Biggie didn’t die for this shit.
Nope, he died for no reason at all.
Good God, and I thought Janet Jackson was a low.
I like all of those acts, but none of them are what I’d consider rock except T. Rex, maybe The Doobie Brothers.
Here’s some nominees who were less worthy than Biggy for inclusion into the R&R HOF:
Pat Benatar
Judas Priest
Kraftwerk
MC5
Motörhead
Todd Rundgren
Soundgarden
Thin Lizzy
Would but no

Gee, Mike, why would you think the MC5 might be a better choice than Biggie?
I mean, they don’t rock at all.
Damn
They have an awfully broad definition of “Rock & Roll”.
Spud’s musical selection took me down the rabbit hole.
I saw these guys a couple days after this show.
First concert, front row.
It might be why I like Canadians so much.
I’ll take 80’s prom themes for $600, Tundra.
Just between you and me, RA!
Canadian 80s prom theme
It pains me to admit this, but you are really good at this.
Bastard.
That takes me back – Baybayayaya
WADDA FUCKEN WEEK
At least it’s finally over.
In two more days.
