Coming (back) soon!
Sports news consists of people saying they’ll do this or that when they play again or saying they’re sorry for things. But they’re still playing soccer in Germany, and England is starting up here shortly. And that’s about it.
Definitely a nip in the air.
Explorer William Dampier was born on this day. He shares it with architect Frank Lloyd Wrong Wright, DNA research pioneer Francis Crick, Indonesian President Suharto, painter LeRoy Neiman, former First Lady Barbara Bush, actor Jerry Stiller, comic genius Joan Rivers, rocker Boz Skaggs, comedian Keenan Ivory Wayans, the lovely Julianna Margulies, the lovelier Maria Menounos, and gospel singer Kanye West.
That’s a decent list. But not half as cool as our very own Swiss Servator’s birthday taking place yesterday TODAY! Love you, Swissy! And now on to…the links!
How was the struggle session, Jacob?
Uffda? I hops those social workers and medics are trained to defend themselves. Which they likely aren’t. This will end badly.
The plot thickens. I wonder how this one is gonna play out.
Wait, this is bullshit! We didn’t even get to see his struggle session.
And speaking of struggle sessions…this was painful to watch. What a stupid asshole this guy is.
Creep
Prince Andrew ain’t out of the woods just yet. Well, let’s hope not anyway. Dude’s a creep.
Let the bloodletting begin. The NYPD are some of the most brutal, out-of-control cops in the nation. And it looks like the residents of that city are following their example.
Wow. She looks like a ton of fun.
These poor people will never recover. That’s not snark either. Their lives are likely ruined by the very same assholes who claim they care about them…who looted and destroyed their livelihoods.
I’m not so sure I’d have broadcast this. Because now the tax bill is coming.
Oh, fuck off Chronicle. Here’s an alternate (and more accurate) headline: Two large gatherings obey the law. There, I fixed it for you.
LATE ADDITION: Go fuck yourself, Tucson. And I mean that with all sincerity.
LATE LATE ADDITION: Expect more of this to come. Also note the way the story is written: like shit.
Here you go, friends! Expect this kind of thing to pop up in the classified ads in Minneapolis in the near future.
That’s it. Go have a great day, friends!
!
Psh… cheater.
Many links! Many cries… Is it ever going to get better?
Not bad for a Monday.
I’ll give the mayor of Minneapolis some credit for being the lone voice of reason when the city council is determined to virtue signal their way out of the problem.
Watching that video was one of the most pathetic things that I have ever seen. All that he needed was to be forcibly stripped naked and followed by a ginormous woman with a bell as he walked away.
These people need to get their struggle-session act together. They didn’t even have a paper hat to put on his head that listed all of his sins.
Is Minneapolis a strong mayor system? Can the mayor veto the council if they vote to disband the police?
If so, it seems to me that the council is a bunch of spineless twats who don’t have to bear the burden of their virtue-signaling nor the responsibility for the decision.
Apparently they have a veto-proof majority now that 9 of the 12 members are on board. MPLS is fucked.
Welcome to your new Supreme Court when the Dems regain control. Nine? Fuck that! Fifteen!
If they actually do it, I don’t see how Trump loses the election. Most people don’t want that crazy, and for good reason.
They’re going to do it, and they won’t stop there.
I’m finding it hard to believe that the entire nation has turned into a bunch of cowardly virtue signaling useful idiots who want woke communism to save them. But if you follow the news the last few months, you have to come to that conclusion.
There’s your problem Thinking Twitter/News is a random sampling of Americans.
I think most of this type of shit happened during the 2018 mid-terms, IOW, we had to vote in a gang of batshit crazy twats because bad orange man. OK, well you got it, now live with it. Enjoy.
They did that to Drew Brees.
Malcom Jenkins is one heckuva prick. Especially for putting words in Brees’s mouth.
Punks and bullies if you ask me.
Lebron James is a punk. Like Jack Dorsey.
Not men.
Punks for what they do from Twitter.
If Lebron is a man he faces Drew Brees in the face like a man.
But this is a guy who knelt before China so….
Punk.
And I’m not impressed with Rodgers.
The day I see an athlete say, ‘Hey man, I disagree but he’s entitled to his opinion’ is the day they become men.
Until then, they’re just jerk offs for piling on each other like a bunch of pussies.
Lebron got upset when a member of the Houston Rockets organization tweeted out support for the Hong Kong protesters. Didn’t want to lose the money he gets from China.
Not to mention he’s a fucking retard who supports Biden…who will, once elected, turn around and shut off James’s entire charter school program which was designed to help inner-city kids get out of the terrible public school systems.
He’s an asshole.
Too bad he isn’t old enough to vote.
We’re not going to talk about Seattle?
It’s foreshadowing.

So did he start the incident by driving into the crowd or did the protesters attack his vehicle for being in the wrong place and wrong time? Not clear.
Well, he ran right to the cops…I’m gonna go wrong place/wrong time.
The video from above just shows him driving relatively slowly and avoiding everybody. Then they stop him by basically putting a barricade in the road and then some dude tries to reach into his car to punch him. Then he shot his attacker.
Evidently, he didn’t shoot until that guy reached into his car. We’ll so how this turns out.
He will be fucked over by the people that are kow-towing to the assholes that demand those that don’t bow to their lunacy be punished.
yes
See the late addition. I just found out about it. If you’re taking about what I think you’re talking about.
“LATE ADDITION: Go fuck yourself, Tucson. And I mean that with all sincerity.”
I’m just getting a blank page.
If that’s sarcasm, well-played!
I’m not that clever. No really, the site loads, I can view the page source, but nothing loads from that page.
Nah. They’ve got some overzealous scripting on the site. I had to open it up in an incognito window to see the story.
Tried that, didn’t work. It doesn’t come up if you search the site either.
Werks on my machine
huh
What about Seattle?
See the LATE LATE ADDITION.

Good morning, Sloop!
Yeah, we’re fucked. I wondered what having a mayor’s office and city council chock full of commies would bring. They certainly don’t disappoint.
I have no idea what they think this ‘community policing’ is going to look like, but we know how it always ends up.
That’s a perfect song for these wild times.
Here’s another from some Minneapolis punk pioneers: Burn it down.
Have a great day, y’all. I hope all our Southern Glibs are safe from the storms.
Hold Fast, Tundra! This too shall pass. Sorry about your city, Man. Up here it’s all Larpers and not so bad. That shit will not be tolerated.
Get a load of Mr. Confident Positive here.

How long until they start asking for federal aid when all of the paramedics and firefighters resign? I have a friend who was a paramedic, they said they don’t respond to shooting victims unless they have police escort. Same with the firefighters when it’s in a rough area.

I am still waiting for the COVID-19 report on how the 53 genders, or whatever the number is these days, were affected so I can properly accuse it of being created and sicked on us by of the patriarchy.
Had this discussion with my girlfriend last night (she had been out of the loop cause her dad was really sick and ended up passed away in the wee hours this past Saturday) and she was not happy when I pointed out that when you elect morons like this, you shouldn’t be surprised they actually decided in the heat of the moment and out of totally selfish reasons to actually propose horrible ideas like this in earnest. A lot of people that thought things would never devolve into this level of stupidity, now are seriously regretful (even if they might not openly admit it) considering the massive chaos and crazy going on….
Me: Play stupid & crazy games thinking things will stay sane & working, get real broken & stupid/crazy as the prize…
Sorry about your girlfriend’s dad.
“That’s a decent list. But not half as cool as our very own Swiss Servator’s birthday taking place yesterday.”
Um… its today, actually.
I am celebrating by working from home, while my cervical spine continues to collapse, pre-surgery this Friday.
Happy birthday, Swissy!
Good luck Friday.
Happy Birthday and may your day be narrow gaze free.
Um… its today, actually.
That’s what I said. Today.
Bumps!
Happy Birthday, Swiss!
I hope you get better soon.
Happy Birthday! Fix yer back.
Happy birthday! Hopefully the surgery gives you complete relief. Everybody I know who has had the surgery has said they should’ve done it even sooner.
Well, our jackass Governor Landwhale had other ideas about anyone getting “elective” surgery done – you know, hip replacements of bone on bone grating, fusion of cervical or lumbar spine (you can take those nerves being crushed for a few more months!).
I hope he gets Space Aids and Ultra-hemorrhoids.
Happy Bday.
Felicitations on your day of birth, and even more so for a speedy and complete recovery.
HBD!!
“while my cervical spine continues to collapse, pre-surgery this Friday”
So the surgery is next?
Yes, Friday…insh’allah.
Sorry to hear about your spine! But look on the bright side, if it completely collapses you become qualified to run for President on the L ticket.
Happy Birthday and may your spine be infused with the healing powers of Ricola!
pre-surgery
good luck; my back is strong enough still, but the important wires are getting pinched off: my fingers won’t do what I tell them to do, my good leg feels like it’s on fire for no obvious reason
I’m going to limp around until the sphincters stop holding; all bets are off after that
Happy Birthday! That fusion is a godsend.
Happy birthday alpine pun crusher, and good luck Friday!
Happy Birthday!
Happy B-day and may your spine hang in there till Friday, brah…
Happy Birthday!
Sorry about your spine. Best wishes on your surgery.
Merry B-Day, and good luck on the cutting.
Welp, that was one of the other areas I’ve been sniffing around for properties. Maybe I’ll just move to the fucking Alaska wilderness.
https://tucsonaz.onbaseonline.com/1801AgendaOnline/Documents/ViewDocument/ORDINANCE%2011746.pdf?meetingId=1460&documentType=Agenda&itemId=57902&publishId=49115&isSection=false
The actual ordinance.
I’m having a hard time being outraged by this. It even spells out that “The acts of recording police activity or engaging in constitutionally
protected speech alone shall not be considered prohibited conduct under this section.”
What am I missing here?
Which in practical application means that after the cops beat the fuck out of you and take your camera to prevent you from filming them under some flimsy pretext that you were being belligerent, you’ll be released 8 hours later without charges and receive your broken camera back.
What was keeping them from doing that before this ordinance?
Nothing really, this just gives them additional cover to set up ridiculous area restrictions and then face no liability for it.
Right there in Article 1 Sections A and B. It lets the cop determine what the boundaries are and what constitutes interference. So any cop doing anything can just say “everybody get off the street” or “this is a crime scene all the way around the corner, disperse or you’ll be in violation of the law”.
This isn’t about protecting the integrity of crime scenes. It’s about controlling who can record the cops in action. And to gives the cops wide latitude to criminalize the recording of something the recorders aren’t in any way interfering with.
The taping or placing cones to set up a crime scene is fine. The “expressly communicating that an area is temporarily restricted for police activity” part is not.
“Expressly communicating” to cover a wide area will require a large number of cops to be doing nothing more than standing around where people can film them.
Don’t worry, they’ve had training for that.
Ah, you think the cops will declare the entire state of Arizona to be a restricted area if a crime is committed somewhere on a street on Tuscon.
Okay.
No, but what’s to prevent them from taking the “reasonable” position that the entire surrounding area of an encounter is now a crime scene and that everybody needs to go inside or vacate the area until they’re around a corner?
“Sir, back up, you’re too close to the police tape.”
“No officer, I have a constitutional right to be here.”
“I’m placing you under arrest for violation of ordinance 11746, you are interfering with this investigation and our officers’ access to this crime scene.”
You might beat the rap in court 8 months later, if the charge even sticks. But the cops got to stop you from filming, which is all they give a fuck about.
Up here the cops beat and pepper-sprayed a guy to death and then grabbed all of the witnesses’ phones. This ain’t my country no more.
The ordinance. “Line of sight” is not a boundary that can be marked off with caution tape, or guarded by cops who can expressly communicate that someone is on the border of a restricted area. If the crime scene is in a room or a private residence with a door then it can be reasonably considered a restricted zone, but if a shooting takes place outside on a street the cops will have logistical problems cordoning off every area from which the scene can be filmed.
Yes? Have you not been paying attention for the past forever? I know most people who are now the loudest weren’t paying attention until 2 weeks ago, but some of us were.
Remote Montana is starting to look good at this time.

All kidding aside, my ex-wife has relatives in Vidor and she said they are hard-core racist.
What an ass Romney is.
But to the point about voting to dismantle the police. They did say they want to rebuild it. Though how I don’t know. Maybe it’ll be filled with Antifa type leftists.
The scary part of all this is the commie hate group BLM is winning at the moment. People are useful idiots when they let emotions run wild It doesn’t help when Rice says stuff like ‘the streets aren’t battlefields’. Has she seen the destruction? When people hurl bricks all bets are off. If I throw a brick at a house I WILL get arrested but if you claim to be protesting you get away with it?
So if there are no cops and some punk kid throws a brick at my business am I free to beat the crap out of him without fear of getting arrested? Is this the message here? If there’s no police, people who remained civil will organize and defend or retaliate and it won’t end well for the punk rioters.
Police partly bought this on themselves by refusing to reform. A guy who has 17 complaints against him shouldn’t still be employed. And the perception of them getting away with the crap they do was obviously a huge social problem. And this is a failure that includes politicians, unions and prosecutors who protected them when they did bad things. Watching degenerate whores like Kamala Harris play politics with this as if she’s BLM when she was a cop-sucker is sickening to boot.
And blacks have been failed by their so-called ‘community leaders’. They’re like the First Nation band chiefs up here. Wallowing in perpetual victimhood because it pays. They played their own part in this. The war on drugs was a scourge but at the same time whitey didn’t make them poor or force that life onto them.
Everyone needs to put their damn big boy pants on and account. If the black community lets itself be ruled by organisms like BLM and Sharpton while there’s no police. Watch out. That’s not a good combo. So it’s about time they do some looking in the mirror too. Chicago is a great example.
Toronto’s blacks are calling for the dismantling of cops.
There’s a better way I reckon.
They haven’t offered up a replacement strategy. It’s beyond irresponsible.
I’ve read that they want to pump the money back into the community and will create a system where social workers and medics answer calls the police would have answered.
So this pretty much means the place will be lawless.
Soooo, medics will go into a potentially dangerous situation without training or armed?
Sounds legit.
Where do I sign?
Does this mean that henceforth Minneapolis will replace Somalia as the model of libertarian governance?
This is the new assimilation.
Once they go back to gravel roadz.
Most cops would probably tell you that the most common dangerous calls they make are domestic violence incidents.
How long until the social workers start getting the shit kicked out of them on those calls?
Day #1.
Never. They’ll tell the victim to let them know when the beatings are finished so they can come by and take a statement.
I don’t mean to sound like I don’t care, but the whole domestic situation is unpoliceable. When you have he-said she-said behind the veil of the home, I don’t really see that the community has an interest in mediating a private problem; what do you want the police or a jury to do with your private mess? I’m not advocating spouse abuse: I’m just saying there’s no good answer. If you don’t have any business being one-on-one with someone behind closed doors, then don’t be there. Date-rape is the same problem although I’m sure this sounds like blaming the victim. Why people (women?) get into such intimate, vulnerable situations with men who don’t deserve them is beyond me, but it’s also surely beyond fixing by the government.
Family still strikes me as a primary legal unit. Raising my kids and taking care of my parents isn’t anyone else’s business no matter how bad a job I do at it. As for me and my house: this is a sacred enclave, a veil that should not be pierced. I don’t find it hard to choose between a government that manages everything on the one hand and my being responsible for choosing a suitable domestic situation on the other.
How long until the social workers start getting the shit kicked out of them on those calls?
We can only hope. Social workers, with a few exceptions, are the truest scum of the Earth. For every 1 child in desperate need that truly needs rescuing, there are 1,000 families broken, harassed, and bullied by these thugs backed up cops. They are weaponized bureaucracy.
I’m sympathetic that there are problems, and I would DefundSocialWorkersNow!
But on the ground it’s not universally bad like that. I’m related to a lot of poor people, and the typical visit goes something like this:
1/ a separate bed for each kid? check
2/ some food in the fridge? check
3/ see ya next month
What no one has time for is an unnecessary bureaucratic fracas, not even the bureaucrats.
And poor people have to bend their knee to the social workers or they lose their gov benefits. It’s all a show. As long as they are obedient the social worker, they get their checks and everyone wins.
Unless if you aren’t reliant on welfare and dispute the authority of the social worker because your neighbor with a grudge calls them on you. Then you are well and truly fucked. Lawyer up or strap up are your only two options to prevent having your kids seized. And they probably will be anyway regardless of which option you choose.
My wife visited a lot of poor pediatric patients in their homes living in some truly horrible conditions. Roaches everywhere, diapers filled with shit lying on the floor, etc. All passed regularly by the social workers. The few times she or her colleagues reported a truly frightening case that needed intervention, the social worker ignored it and continued passing them. One of those cases was later baked alive in the oven by the mother. Another starved to death. Social workers have zero value.
TOS has some amazingly different stories. My suspicion is that people of some means get different treatment than the truly poor. The stories I read generally started with a crazy ex and led to home visits where the dad was penalized because he had some dirty dishes in the sink, etc.
everyone wins…
not everyone, as you pointed out just a few sentences later.
Oh, come now. Maybe the new social utopia workers have some wise Latina… errr… Lantinx? among them who will just walk in, talk things down, and universal tranquility will ensue?
In NYC they’re going to pour it into “youth groups”. ?
Do you know who else had a youth group?
OMWC?
boo you beat me by 3 minutes
In the biblical sense?
OMWC?
Lord Baden-Powell, the original OMWC?
Finally, the midnight basketball leagues will get the funding they deserve.
“youth groups”
Oh, you mean those groups of ‘youths’ roaming the streets of Baltimore, resulting in security alerts about a group of ‘youths’, no further description, and a victim?
Probably not
That story has cops in it. I’m going with the scenario where there are NO cops like the commies in Minnie want.
I true to not to get emotionally involved in this bullshit, but the stories about who prosecutors are letting off (looters) and who they are prosecuting (anyone who tried to defend their property) are absolutely infuriating. That is how you get a revolution.
That is how you get a revolution.
We’ve been saying that a lot lately.
Judging by the reaction to abolishing the cops that we see on the board, no one really wants to stand up to them.
The commies seem to be willing to start a shooting war over this.

“am I free to beat the crap out of him without fear of getting arrested?”
No, you have to pick up the brick, take it back to him, ask him to throw it again until all your windows are gone, and then apologize for your systemic racism. /Progtopia
Some people really need to realize that the cops are supposed to protect the accused as well as the people. No cops is how you bring back no shit lynchings.
That sounds like a pretty good deal for a certain group of people who statistically commit ridiculous amounts of crime and murder.
Yup
The mafia/mob will fill the void in neighborhoods. And the mob will discriminate based on race.
Story from my FIL in Philadelphia back in the fifties, when they lived in an Italian mafia controlled neighborhood.
He was in a barber shop when a black man ran by the store. All of them, every single one of them, barbers and customers, got up, grabbed razors and chased the dude down.
He was running to catch the bus.
This is what will return if they go thru with what they’re planning to do. People will segregate along racially identifiable lines and treat the other as guilty until proven innocent. Mob rule of any kind is a travesty.
Nothing will change without the approval of various public sector unions. I.e., nothing will change. This is all just theater and they know it.
“Watching degenerate whores like Kamala Harris play politics with this as if she’s BLM when she was a cop-sucker is sickening to boot.”
I wonder if that might hurt her VP chances. Sure she is some kind of black, but the cop meme was fairly wide spread.
Biden’s only going to play the ‘I’m picking a black woman’ as running mate, until the media move on to something else and this all dies down. Then he’ll pick Warren, like he was instructed to so since the beginning. I’t ironic that the ‘democratic’ party are anything but democratic. Biden has absolutely no choice as to who he will pick, anymore than the party had a choice about nominating Biden. It all comes down from the establishment top.
Biden can’t be allowed to choose. Do you want cake as VP? That’s how you get double chocolate gateaux as VP.
I look at it this way, if Biden was even half way coherent, he isn’t, he’d be panicking right now with Romney and Bush endorsing him. There can’t possibly be any good in that for his chances.
Sloop’. Moving forward I will not read the sports section. I’m done with sports and Hollywood. Not interested anymore. It’s been a couple of years I’ve been weening off it anyway. When soccer went to DAZN I didn’t follow and don’t miss it. Eventually they will all ask for you to pay to watch millionaires kneel and act like a bunch of cunts while denying people the right to express themselves. Screw all this virtue signalling and everything in between.
The values we cherish are being ripped apart and I wish to play no part in it.
Watch UFC. They were the first to open and now are playing to open “fight island” to get around all the stupid covid restrictions. Last week a fighter with a “Molon Labe” tattoo knocked kicked another dude’s ass and then cried in the post fight interview. His brother died earlier in the week.
Too violent for me but I wish them luck. If I had to choose a sport that would probably be it.
Values aligned.
Listening to Goodell’s drivel was enough for me to realize the NFL is done. Not gonna watch that crap.
Watch Dana White’s reaction to being asked about not wearing a mask?
https://youtu.be/wS13HhPnXZs?t=685
I hear he’s an asshole with his guys? But he’s the asshole we all need.
Honestly, that guy is refreshing and a real leader. None of that Goodell NFL bull shit. His take on free speech was on point.
Drew Brees wishes White was his boss.
Would love to see him as the commissioner of the NFL.
I’m not sure why you are so defensive of Drew Brees. He folded very quickly on his own and is continuously putting out new apologies for his sin. Brees was always squishy.
It’s sad really. He was stating his position for himself. It’s truly a struggle session for him.
Yes, that is true. He’s in his own way weak. But the bigger point is how he was treated.
We have been getting our “sports” by watching martial arts films. Some of the Kung Fu in the 70’s – 80s Hong Kong films is spectacular. Example: Drunken Master. The sound will absolutely make your ears bleed, and it is funny to watch the film as it goes between dubbed and non-dubbed dialogue. But some of the set piece fights in that are amazing when you consider that they were done with no special effects except some periodic film speeding up or reversal.
We have been mixing in with some more contemporary martial arts films. The Ip Man series (loosely, and hooo boy do I mean loosely, based on the story of Bruce Lee’s kung fu master) is very good. The hand and foot work is a site to behold. It’s a shame that the plots are universally Chinese propaganda. The first one is about how, during WWII, the occupying Japanese commander continuously defeated Kung Fu masters, until Ip Man was forced to put him down. The second one takes place “After the Japanese were defeated” (no real mention how that happened) and tells how the evil Brits sent a boxer to Hong Kong who defeated Kung Fu masters until Ip Man had to put him down.
In a way, Ip Man 2 is much like Rocky 4. But they did a good job of showing a plausible set of fights between a western style boxer and a martial arts master.
Anyway, there are hundreds of these films spanning back into the 70s. I am looking forward to them instead of sports this year.
Noir film when they come around and reading.
And Deadliest Catch.
That’s about it for me.
Anyone who plumps down money for a Seth Rogan or Ben Affleck film is a useful idiot. The lunatics are running the asylum.
Literally low IQ, illiterate, illiberal morons are lecturing a nation. It’s the Idiocracy in plan view.
Anyone who plumps down money for a Seth Rogan or Ben Affleck film is a useful idiot.
You know, this was just as true a month ago as it is now.
And I hate Affleck for completely ignoring the role of Ken Taylor in Argon.
Had to get my patriotic digs in.
“And I hate Affleck for completely ignoring the role of Ken Taylor in Argon.”
I heard he was pretty inert in that film.
Gaseous – yes, noble – no.
Drunken Master is the greatest martial arts film of all time, bar none.
I’m a big fan of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, but they fall squarely on the comedy side of the kung-fu films.
My favorite movie of the 00’s.
Kung Flu Hustle will make a fine name for the documentary about the whole shutdown-getorangemanbad kerfuffle.

Baseball could have really done something positive to entertain us and be there as things open up – instead the players and owners couldn’t look past their own greed. The NFL can fuck off. I was done with the NBA decades ago.
I feel bad for college sports, although they are getting pozzed too.
Seriously. MLB is acting like it’s still a contractual issue. Bananas.
.
I feel bad for college sports
yes, the poor NCAA.
I mean the kids who actually play sports because they like the competition. And the other students who like to watch and have fun – D2 and 3. Same for high schools. I miss going to my son’s games, it was fun night with the town.

At least Cato didn’t spray paint BLM like they were nailing a lamb to the door during Passover.
I’d be utterly unconcerned if the building was burned down with all of the employees inside.
Just had a news story pop up in my feed about a woman getting her car impounded (read: stolen) while sitting in the McDonald’s drivethru. Her mortal sin? She didn’t have insurance. This was in Britain, and I hope that kind of bs never makes its way here (who am I kidding?).
here in PA, it’s the same thing and has been for a long time.
Thats disheartening. The reason I brought it up was that the story in question seemed to indicate the cops knew the vehicle was uninsured without ever speaking to the driver. Here in IA, they would at least need to pull you over to find that out.
You can’t even register a vehicle and get plates and a sticker here in NV without proof of insurance.
That is the case in many states. Insurance companies are required to report coverage to all these states. Ask me how I know.
You don’t even have a car, do you?
LOL true, yet I have spent a large chunk of my professional career doing what I described above. It’s like rain on my wedding day.
you can’t even transfer a title here without proof of insurance – you might be technically legally able to, but title places just won’t do it.
The Fenn Treasure is the one I mentioned here a few weeks ago. I’m kinda bummed that it’s found. Was hoping to get back out to NM and try again.
He kinda had to announce it, for a variety of reasons – not least of which is that several people have already been killed in the search. My attorney and I had pre-gamed a variety of the issues I would have needed to address if successful, but the reported lawsuits from some of the crazies out there (“you hacked me and took my solve argle bargle!!!”) actually wasn’t one of them.
On the mask thing I’m 50/50 on that I thought that at first but now I almost think it’s because they know it’s a magical dumbo feather that will get people back out into the world again. Although that theory assumes a level of understanding of human nature that they probably don’t have. Maybe it’s a combination of both. Who knows all I know is the people telling us to wear them are proven liars, which is a shame especially if they do indeed work.
Eh. In states that reopened, having things open gets people back out. Some wear masks, most don’t. It’s fucking June and this virus is now far less deadly.
They don’t work. It’s nothing more than requiring acts of compliance so the politicians don’t have to admit they fucked up bigly by wrecking the economy over what was essentially a bad flu season.
It’s security theater they plan to enforce forever just for fun.

So a rapist is either punished with prison or lectured by a white liberal? Maybe they are on to something.
Abolish police, I’m fine with. But policing is a valid market good, so you need to let it be purchased on the open market.
Vinnie Gambolino concurs.
Say what you will about Vinnie, but at least he gives you the services you pay for, rather than stand down on your time of need, and beat you down for trying to defend yourself.
Hey, they do this insanity and I may find myself donating to the Order Sons of Italy in America as well.
Bullshit. Those murderers take what they want and anybody that bitches about it winds up in the dumpster.
“Frankie Carbone was so frozen when they found him, it took two weeks to thaw him out…”
True, they are murderers. Mostly making the point that when a riot happens the least you’d expect is for the police to protect your property that you’ve been paying protection money for. But no, they (like the fuckwad cowards that they are) stand down and let the mob destory your livelihood.
And then will come back and tell you how the lack of sales extortion means they need to raise the amount they collect from you for protection money.
or worse: everyone’s favorite, the HOA
Protestors have some right to some access to public ways. My street is private: I paid for it, I built it, I maintain it, and I’ll let you know if you’re welcome on it. As I was saying on the dead thread, it might be time to pick your neighbors better.
I have only one problem with the recent video of the neighbors lining their presidio, arms at the ready: that plastic fence ain’t great cover; I suggest brick: stops bullets, noncombustible
The tyranny of the Karens is upon us.
tyranny? why you’re free to burn down anyone else’s shit as you please: knock yourself out
I, for one, look forward to our new nextdoor.com warlords.
Either it will be purchased, or the posse will make a return to American life.
From the cop-filming story:
“ He said some regard themselves as “sovereign citizens,” an ideology linked to “domestic terrorism,” according to the FBI.
We are all criminals now.
It’s not the cartels, it’s not Antifa, it’s not organized crime, it’s not Islamic terrorists…
It’s those guys that want to be left alone. They’re the scary ones.
-1 Vicki Weaver
What acts of domestic terror have they been linked to, other than awkward videos?
But the FBI can’t find anything on ANTIFA
He’s probably right. The 2020 election is less than 5 months away and the left seems to be pulling out all the stops. Blue state governors who are purposefully killing their state economies, BLM and Antifa in the streets, leftist prosecutors letting looters off with warnings and prosecuting people who resisted the looters, and the mainstream media pumping out propaganda shamelessly.
This whole year is going to be a shitshow – and I wonder if it will ever get better regardless of the election results.
That’s what I think too. The Deep State and the Left tried to pull a soft coup in 2016. Failing that, they did their best to hamstring Trump. Despite the evidence, there will be no consequences to those responsible so why not go all in. We’re witnessing the beginning of this effort now.
The left deserves 4 more years of Trump. They deserve it good and hard up the ass.
Actually, they deserve exactly what they’re asking for: Maoism. The only hitch with that is we get dragged down with them.
They just want to see America take a great leap forward – what’s so bad about that?
Really, they have a 5 Year Plan for how that will go. What could go wrong?
I apologize in advance.
I knew before I even clicked.
Well, it’s the perfect plan, right from the playbook. First you dumb down an entire generation though public school. Then you get your brown shirts on the streets, make self defense illegal, and overload the system with massive debt, so that it all collapses.
The rioters and looters and other useful idiots will no longer be a problem after the takeover. We already know what happens to them, as they’re no longer useful.
When Murphy in New Jersey is out marching shoulder to shoulder with thousands of BLM protestors, yet insists that restaurants and other businesses must remain shut down which will completely destroy the multi-billion dollar tourist industry on the shore, it’s pretty damn obvious what the motivation is.
Yeah, the Left have always been hypocrites but their shamelessness the last few months has been something to behold.
Today was to be my granddaughter’s graduation. But the school cancelled it because social distancing could not be enforced. However, today there will be a big Black Lives Matter rally at the school that hundreds of kids will attend, along with school administration, etc. etc. It is really a scientific curiosity how this novel virus understands what gatherings to infect and which to pass over.
Some things are worth dying for.
Likewise, somethings are worth letting people infect each other with the “most dangerous pandemic ever!!”
Well, didn’t you hear, it’s a racist virus.
I wonder what happens to anyone who doesn’t attend that struggle session.
Sorry, but the shutting down of the public schools might be a blessing in disguise. Especially if lots of parents decide on home schooling. A lot of parents who were otherwise oblivious to what’s been spoon fed their children in public school, may be horrified once they wake up and actually see it.
That is my hope as well.
I can’t go to the gym or a restaurant, but tonight I get to talk to two local families who lost kids to suicide since this madness started. On Zoom of course, to be safe.
Same with Twitmer in Michigan.
I shared with my eye doctor Count Potato’s “Gretchen Whitmer became Govenor of Michigan after a house fell on her sister.”
It took him a minute, but liked it once he got it, and said he’d be using it.
Days of Rage II. The Millennials are larping the hippies. I wonder if anyone has pointed out that Nixon won in 68?
Honesty, I think this is going to backfire on them in a big way. I think a large portion of the public that might otherwise find Trump objectionable is going to be a lot more comfortable with him than the guys pushing this madness. Think about it this way. I’ve noticed that there are a lot of New Yorkers who are talking about or have moved and are talking about not coming back. I didn’t see this after 9/11 or even after the financial crisis. That says something I think is significant. You’ve got a lot of people voting against the blue state model with their feet, even if unconsciously.
All Trump has to do is frame himself as the candidate of civil order and show how the economy is rebounding in spite of lockdowns and he’ll win. I don’t think it’ll be a blowout; in fact he’ll probably lose the popular vote again but he’ll get enough in the states that matter.
Like in 2016, Team Blue has a fairly obvious and easy opportunity to win in front of them and they’re going to manage to completely fuck it up.
Their base is completely unsustainable. The technocrats and critical race theorists are natural enemies since the one runs all the organizations the other views as the oppressor. It’s amazing they’ve held the coalition together this long.
Having a common enemy as a bugbear can do wonders for coalitions.
/Hoffer
My only issue with this hypothesis is that those fleeing Blue States tend to turn their new Red State homes purple with the prog bullshit that they can’t bring themselves to reject.
Exactly this. And we’re about to see a massive exodus from cities and guess what those people will do when they arrive in podunk village? Turn it into a prog shithole, they ALWAYS do it. They don’t learn anything.
Hey!!! I’m part of that exodus. And I’ve even said I’d refrain from voting for five years if my fellow escapees will do the same.
But then they’ll move to Florida, and vote Democrat because the Republican keeps talking about Jesus and that makes them feel icky.
Sort of like Blacks and Latinos who are in general more religious than white folk, and (((them))) who just keep voting for dems, despite the fact the dems are very open about their hatred of religion.
Bear in mind that the voting in the vast majority of states will be by mail, and a dozen or so have already legalized ballot harvesting.
One can hope. The problem is that a large majority of the public only see and hear what CNN and MSNBC are spoon feeding them and they believe all of it.
Defund the police and give the money to Mammary Monday.

All the people who would sneer and say Taxation isny theft it’s extortion, can go eat it. Where’s the security service they promised. No they just took your money and left you to the mob.
And any Lefty who says you don’t need a gun because we have cops can fuck off.
That argument is down the memory hole. It will be retrieved as necessary when you don’t comply with their mob (that brought bats and knives to a gun fight).
Fuck, when you paid the mob protection money you’d actually be left alone. Their service is much better than the government’s.
Cheaper, too.
And the mob would also swiftly deal with anyone who fucked with you while you were under their protection.
You really think that? Ask anyone that has had to pay if the payments ever stop or get cheaper. Don’t trade one boot for another.
I think JB means the mob doesn’t circle back to your restaurant and write you a ticket because your delivery guy is double parked. They don’t issue you a citation if you take a beer out to the sidewalk.
That don’t put you in a cage for decades and let you get ass raped repeatedly. Cement shoes don’t look that bad in comparision.
I can definitely see some growth in private police forces. Of course, the left will try to outlaw those as racist. So, maybe it is back to the mob. ‘Hey Guido and Bruno, I got a proposition for you, it pays money’.
No, instead they circle back and take free food and booze for all their buddies. And you have zero recourse unless you want to wind up being disappeared.
When I was a teenager, I was drinking on a golf course. Had a whole cooler full of beer. Sitting in the sandtrap with friends, drinking beer. Had pizza too.
Cops came. We ran. They tried to chase us, but they stopped at the bunker and confiscated our pizza and beer for justice and safety.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I’d rather have the Mafia than the cops, but I don’t think it’s as different from the average taxpaying citizen POV since the cops are apparently no longer enforcing so many core laws against actual violence.
You put up with the parking tickets because when someone throws a brick through your window, the cops beat him to a pulp with nightsticks.
My father was invited to attend a Van Halen concert with a Hampton city police detective back in the early 80’s.
The cops roughed up kids, took their weed and booze, then went to an officer’s house after the concert to smoke and drink it all.
Asset forfeiture anyone? Or what about a cop stops you and finds some cash? Maybe a gun they like? We all know these things happen.
The police are just the mob with the last word on the use of force.
I find this interesting: Crime as a whole has been decreasing in the USA for a couple decades (or more) now, correct? But the more it declined, the more militarized police became and the more politicians gave them cover with QI while giving them more power to abuse with asset forfeiture. Add to the fact, traditional Democrat bastions decided to not vote GOP opting for leftist Democrats to replace the established candidate and POOF! Coo-coo for cocoa puffs!
Am I on point here?
Yes.
Also as endless wars in the ME dragged on, local PDs had all kinds of fun military surplus to play with.
Tools, no matter what tools they are, are amoral.
If the local sheriffs office gets a recon drone with a FLIR, a Constitutional sheriff will keep it ready and waiting for when a kid gets lost, or when a fugitive escapes from the penal farm. He will not use it to fly over the county hither and yon looking for stills and pot fields.
All tools are also toys, and toys will get played with.
I don’t know. If there is anything patently untrue, it’s crime statistics. All I know is the number of crimes on the books keeps increasing. So if crime is down, government will just increase the number of crimes.
It’s even more ludicrous when you compare them across countries. The UK crime statistics are the crimes cleared. Which is patently absurd, but it doesn’t stop people from referencing them as a low crime utopia.
Just to play devil’s advocate here, because I think libertarians have blinders on in this regard, the “tough-on-crime” policies they rail against that began in the 80s as a backlash against the colossal spike in crime in the 70s probably led in no small part to the precipitous decline observed since the 90s. Pretending as if crime just magically fell for no explicable reason, and purely coincidentally the police became militarized and barbaric is… well, it’s worth examining more closely at the least.
It fell because crime is principally caused by men between the ages of 15-35, and the baby boomers got too old for this shit.
I’ll have to look it up, but I recall seeing a correlation between the ban of leaded gasoline and the decline in the crime rate. It wasn’t until the 90s that the kids who grew up in a lead-free environment started getting into the prime crime-committing age frame.
1) cash is almost eradicated. You used to have carry it around and every store had a bunch of it.
2) Cameras are everywhere, everyone has one at all times.
3) Somehow, they’ve created the most compliant generation ever. Everyone just took it when they outlawed haircuts, gyms, Disneyland, even our fucking jobs.
4) Last is the hardened policing/sentencing. I would argue that even without it, crime would be at an all time low.
“Am I on point here?”
Yes, and a big part of it is because of the WOD, which both major parties have whole heartedly supported for decades.

As an absolute misandrist these past two weeks have not much helped my hatred for the human race.
You only hate males, or are you mixing misandrist and misanthrope?
How could you hate this?
http://archive.li/Qt5Bm/bec7ecb4d05d50e8332c1d5d848412df913f9b79.webp
Isn’t it misanthrope? I thought a “misandrist” hated men.
Don’t judge.
I’ve always thought misandry applied to both “men” and “everyone”.
Ah, doesn’t matter. Y’all know what I mean.
We are all that, here. You are in good company.
Humans built the Parthenon, Pyramids and Wall of China; they painted the Mona Lisa and sculpted David. They cured small pox and went to the moon. The people you hate are the true misanthropes.
At least China will still have the wall after these bat shit crazy leftists in the West destroy all the rest of that. Guess we can go visit that if we get a desire to visit something historical.
I wonder if the lefties will start speaking up when the mobs start destroying the Field Museum and the Smithsonian museums? It’s only property after all, property can be replaced.
Nope. It’s the opposite of misogynist, bro.
I think most people think the rioting is awful and that the George Floyd murder was a murder.
It’s just that they don’t work in the mass media, who have inexplicably decided to be looting apologists.
“inexplicably”
Think of them as agit-propagandists and it all makes sense.
Most people I’ve talked to are pretty upset about the looting and rioting, including the dem voters. Of course, I do not know any antifa like people, because I mostly know people here I’ve met at work, and those people do not work.
But if you listen to the media, you would think a very large majority of American support the looting and rioting.
“Anthro” being the root of “human”, “andro” being the root of “male”.

I asked about the NH 20k yesterday: it doesn’t look like 20k people moving to a state of 1M makes much difference, but, if they like NH, good for them.
This does get me going, though. Can you imagine 100 Glibenista friends buying a box canyon west of Fort Worth and building their own quiet presidio in it? Private gun range, far from the madding crowd, buddies to commute with . . . something to chew on.
Not a bad idea, but we’d never agree on where to go (as Glibs are wont to do).
IE: I’d much rather a cold climate liberty haven like Wyoming, Idaho or Alaska.
Boise and Ruby Ridge… I’d rethink that as a liberty haven.
Ruby Ridge was Fed driven. Could happen anywhere.
True, but it wasn’t exactly random either. You have to be very careful retreating into the wilderness, because if you’ve got a neighbor 25 miles away that once said “nigger”, the feds are OK with dropping a few million dollars in resources and undercover agents to badger you for 5 years until they can come up with a pretext to kill you.
We need somewhere where we can secede from the US. I ain’t fucking living in Texas.
I have thought about it too, although I think Wyoming is a better fit.
Wyoming was also my vote for the Free State Project.
I’m good with Wyoming.
windy, so I’ll need new sights for the rifles, but at least you can see your problems coming as soon as they pop over the horizon
Wyoming was mine too.
I think I’d love Wyoming. However, I would never, ever be able to convince my wife to move somewhere that gets such harsh winters.
We were set to move to Ft Collins last summer, before ending up in Charleston, SC. So I think I could get my wife to accept Wyoming.
truthfully, I’d starve in WY; Fort Worth is near money, is near some pretty places, and has worked before, so that sprang to mind,
NewWife and I need big piles of capital for anyone to afford us. I’m not getting dirty rolling around in entrepreneurial battles with any armada of plumbing vans: there are memos to be written, equipment to be designed, and coffee to be drankt.
I say southern Utah, somewhat warmer, and the neighbors already have a leave me the hell alone mentality.
Somewhat warmer than the hinges of the Gates of Hell.
60 state house seats in Wyoming, each representing about 9000 people. We could practically get a district ourselves. The free state project would have taken over multiple districts.

robc: thank you Mr Speaker; I rise with urgent business. I move that we immediately change our good state’s motto to “Fuck Off!!”
Speaker: The representative from…. Asssex is recognized.
Glib: Yes, Mr speaker, i like the proposal from our friendly representative, but it doesn’t go far enough. I’d like to proposed an amendment to change the motto to “Fuck off, Slaver!”.
And why would I leave off the slaver in the first place?
Representative from District 420, shouting: [predictable stuff redacted]
As much as I would enjoy Hayekberg, cant I live in Misesville instead?
Fair enough. Each house district in Utah is ~30,000 so we would need moar. But how many voters does it represent?
If we move to Utah, can I make all of my wives vote like I tell them to?
Yes, but you only get 3/5 vote for each one.
I’ll have you know That Polygamy is A Felony here, per the constitution.
Of course it’s also been decriminalized. So i don’t know how that gets squared.

We now have a hard timeline; we will be in Alaska full-time by 24 months from right now. Somewhere in the Mat-Su area.
I”m afraid bad times are coming. I don’t want to be near a major city when they get here.
Dude…. SHHHHH!!! Property is still almost affordable.
it doesn’t look like 20k people moving to a state of 1M makes much difference
It didn’t.
Oh…. and it was less than 20K people if I remember correctly.
And to be fair, NH, in part thanks to Free State folks, no longer has any knife laws and has Constitutional carry.
Just don’t think about legal recreational marijuana or the Clown Prince’s current central planning activities.
I know that it’s rerouting me based on my location, but BBC World Service is wall to wall coverage of the protests/riots, with stories of people bending the knee to the Wokerati and a small dash of worldwide Covid stories for good measure. When did the BBC become Vox?
They were Vox before Vox existed. At least BBC World Service Radio has been like that since I first listened to it on XM 15 years ago.
You’re right, of course, but I feel like I used to be able to read them for cultural news about European countries I was interested in. (Food, archaeological discoveries, etc).

LOL
Guy is a warhawk IIRC, but that is good.
My neighborhood flag war continues.
1. Weirdly, it’s only half the neighborhood. There’s not a flag or sign to be seen on my side of it. If it starts I’m just getting a white flag that says “go fuck yourselves” in black lettering.
2. On the half where this is going on, new flags and signs continue to go up each day.
3. The majority of the homes where there are Trump flags are owned by Cuban/Venezuelan expats. You can guess why.
4. A LOT of whining from both sides on Nextdoor.
Neighborhood politics can be utterly insufferable.
Sorry you’re in the middle of that. Your flag idea sounds like the way to go.
Here’s an idea.
Maybe the pot leaf flag. I’d burn down the confederate ones myself.
I’m guessing the guy is making some kind of joke. Watching that truck drive through town would be a sight to see.
I think the guy prints and sells flags at swap meets.
And Gayjay made him make half of those.
The majority of the homes where there are Trump flags are owned by Cuban/Venezuelan expats. You can guess why.
They are white-supremacist nazi’s?
If it starts I’m just getting a white flag that says “go fuck yourselves” in black lettering.
I’d suggest something a bit more classy, like the Pine Tree Flag, which conveys a similar point more subtly. Plus, it’s ambiguous enough not to choose sides: it’s patriotic but supports the right of revolution, and the appeal to heaven could be interpreted as either a prayer that the craziness stops or a wish for SMOD to achieve the same ends by other means.
I’d like to see the SCIENCE behind this claim about the hurricane Cristobol
They must have old sepia tin types of the radar tracks of that hurricane back in 1820 right?
“IF Cristobal can stay organized, meaning it hangs on to its overall center of circulation, it would be the first to do so this far north and west on the continent in nearly TWO CENTURIES!
”
Well then I expect you to get out there and cheer it on! You don’t think Cristobal can do this on his own, do ya?
I made a joke on FB last week about the latest scientific models predicting the hurricane to be a Category 8 and hit central Nevada. So apparently the COVID model guy really did get a new gig.
Hurricane Ike knocked out my power for a week in Louisville. It was still hurricane speed winds, IIRC. Power came back on as I was prepping to head out to watch the Final round of the Ryder’s Cup (which was going on just down the street from me). Ike hit the previous Sunday.
Yeah, that’s the thing. All this about “biggest/most active/most powerful/etc. on record” is silly because the records only go back about 50 years since we had satellite coverage. The records for strength (where we derive pressure and wind readings from satellite presentation) only go back about 30 years.
Fun fact: In 2005, we set a “record” with 28 named storms, which flew past the old “record” of 1933, where there were 21 named storms. In 2005, there were 7 storms that did not make it past 60 degrees west longitude. In 1933, there were none. Unless a ship passed through a storm (and survived, and bothered to report about it), we didn’t know it existed.
Which is why honest scientists have been comparing landfall storms to landfall storms, because thats a dataset that you can actually work with and get useful information out of.
See also: climate scientists who use a sensor box that was in a farmers field 50 years ago, but is now in a shopping mall parking lot, and acting like its the same thing.
Minneapolis mayor booed out of protest after reportedly refusing to defund police
He said he did not want to “completely” end the police department.
We need to defund the failing police departments in order to fund the failing school systems.
Funny how that works. When a government program fails the answer is always more funding. But not the police.
Some prog blue check tweeted yesterday
“Defund the police does not mean defund their pension plans.”
It has since been deleted. Someone told her she gave the game away.
They know they are facing big cuts in tax revenue. Time to punish the deplorables by taking away their cops, but keep the pubsec union money coming.
The video where the protestors start chanting “Shame! Shame! Shame!” like he was Circe Lannister was particularly delightful.
Little Prog douchebag hoisted on his own petard and I am here for it.
He’s a wuss but he didn’t knuckle under there even at personal risk. There are plenty of angles to right fully criticize the guy but this isn’t one of them other than saying that he should have known to not put himself into that situation in the first place.
In that regard, yes he was brave for going into that situation and did a good job not caving to their demands.
My schad is not directed towards him individually so much as the “White Proggy Media-Hero Archetype that uses Wokeness to come to power and then have it turn on him” that he represents.
Crossfit founder makes George Floyd/COVID joke, social distancing ensues

10 minutes until Supreme Court opinions start coming out. A bunch of cases that could piss a lot of people off (on either side) possible.
Any of the QI ones this round?
Nope. SCOTUS keeps punting. Haven’t even said if they’re going to hear the QI cases next year.
Hoping for a legislative solution to that one rather than a judicial one.
“SCOTUS keeps punting”
Given how big of a shitstain Roberts has become, I’m ok with this until Ginsburg kicks off and is replaced (hopefully) by a Trump nominee. His judicial nominees (especially Gorsuch) have been a welcome surprise.
Gorsuch has been great. Kavanaugh has been terrible.
In almost every 4th amendment case over the last couple of years, there have been a maximum of two votes against the government’s position, and those have always been Gorsuch and/or Sotomayor. We wouldn’t like any QI decision that comes out, I don’t think.
Not a laywer/expert, but wouldn’t it seem to be the case with QI that
1. The progs will hate it because they hate cops.
2. The true cons will hate it because its blatantly unconstitutional.
3. The statists of both right and left will be wanting to keep it because if you strike down QI because its got zero textual support, you can open the door to striking down a lot of other stuff that has zero textual support.
Progs don’t hate cops, they just hate it when cops’ power is turned on their client classes. They don’t want to do shit to disempower cops because how else are they going to punish the Deplorables?
So, about 99.8% of each party?
I can speak with certainty that the leftist, educated friends I know are terrified of Johnny Redneck.
They really think that the trailer-trash are going to invade some day. They want the cops to protect them from that existential threat.
The 2009 case that (i) upheld QI and (ii) said that courts don’t even have to touch on whether the conduct was unlawful was unanimous.
Since then we’ve added Sotomayor (probable vote against QI), Kagan (probable vote in favor of QI), Gorsuch (probable vote against QI) and Kavanaugh (probable vote in favor of QI). So it’s almost certain to be 7-2 upholding QI.
“So, about 99.8% of each party?”
I meant on the Court.
The power of the Nazgul to make policy from “emanations and penumbras” is far too valuable a tool to the Left to undermine even a little bit by striking down QI. I can’t see the Court’s left wing wanting even a crack in that wall. I fear you’ll get some combo Kavanaugh, Kagan, Roberts, Alito, Breyer, Ginsburg writing an opinion which preserves QI.
Thomas has said QI needs to be revisited, so 6-3.
Some possibles:
1. Whether Title VII bars discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation
2. Whether DHS getting rid of DACA was lawful
3. Whether money for school vouchers can go to religious schools
4. Whether the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is even constitutional
5. Whether Louisiana’s law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a local hospital can be upheld.
6. Trump’s taxes, again.
7. Faithless electors (whether a state can make it illegal for members of the Electoral College to go against the state’s popular vote)
I can hear Roberts making last second changes to his votes right now because of the riots. Can’t appear to pick sides. Gotta thread that needle.
Real answers –
1. No.
2. Yes. Executive orders are not permanant.
3. Yes.
4. No.
5. Yes.
6. Not sure what the question before the court was.
7. Punt.
These, of course, may not be the Scotus answers.
#6 is simply whether the House of Representatives has the power to subpoena his tax returns. This case has been going on for 2 years.
For six, my decision in total (and yes I would all caps it):
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE WORD “ELECTOR” FUCKING MEANS?
That is seven, obviously, not six.
The case comes out of Washington State, where in 2016 three electors refused to vote for Hillary (I think two voted for Colin Powell and one voted for a Native American woman whose name I can’t remember). They were fined $100 each.
1. No
2. Yes
3. No, and shouldn’t go to private schools at all. Blanket refund for anyone not with a kid enrolled in school would be a start.
4. No
5. No, along with a host of other regulatory laws. Not on abortion specific grounds.
6. No, and Congress shouldn’t have the power to analyze anyone’s taxes other than government employees and their government pay.
7. Not sure of the details. Electors not representing the voters that voted for them because of the popular vote compact? No, the way to change the electoral college is amendment not this illegal bypass.
Here’s what you’ll get,
1. sure, yeah. I mean laws are living, if not we would be living under the tyranny of what some guy wrote 10 years ago.
2. That which is done by BHO, cannot be undone.
3. No, because voucher systems are unconsitutional (IIRC this is a case where families were using school vouchers to pay for religious schools, and some Teachers Union group sued over it).
4. Yes, of course congress can create a new unaccountable thing, see allso the Fed, FTC, etc.
5. No, but not because of the regulations, but because abortion is a super specai emanations and penumbras right that has more protection than any in the bill of rights. ( someone should convince SCOTUS that abortions can inhibit cops from getting the bad guy, you’d see them flip on it like that)
6. Not only that, but proscription lists are lawful too.
7. Only if it is to elect the national popular vote winner.
*looks at calendar and tries to decide if it’s worth getting up anymore*
Why get up?
Looks like only 1 opinion today. It was unanimous, except Thomas joined on all except 1 footnote. And it looks like he didn’t right anything explaining why he didn’t join on the footnote.
There’s a photo going around of armed people lined up at a protest in Indiana. That happened two towns over from me. This weekend on FB I found an argument about it. The Righties think nothing of it, the Lefties think it was disgraceful. Someone should show that picture to people calling for the disbanding of the police. Because that’s what you’ll get if you disband the police in a red state. In a blue state, you’ll just get Detroit.
Disgraceful? What, they expect people to just roll over and let criminals come in and bust shit up?
I can kind of see where they’re coming from, IF you assume the protests would be peaceful. Their point was, people were peacefully protesting against racism and people with guns showed up and it was intimidating. However, this ignores the fact that just a few days earlier, just a few miles away, people were rioting and looting, and the people with guns didn’t want that to happen in their community.
And holding a counter protest without guns and the mob rips you to shreds (potentially), with guns even the fuzz doesn’t mess with you.
Guns keep me far from these masses. I can’t be in a situation that is very likely to escalate, where I am likely to be threatened with violence, and where I can’t morally defend myself (I’m certainly not emptying my mag in the middle of 100 innocent people to take out the guy who’s attacking me).
My guns prevent a lot of violence that an unarmed me might have flirted with.
They keep you from getting attacked in the first place, no mag dump required.
This
I carry now, and I’m not determined to not be caught in the middle of a scenario that might go south if I can help it.
If it’s the one I’m thinking of, I don’t know what the fuss would be about. The protesters marched peaceably by and the people didn’t do anything at all to harass them.
Something I haven’t really seen anyone mention since this silly concept of “social workers will replace cops” began circulating – since when does anyone want to give those fuckers more responsibility? They’re doing badly enough at their actual jobs as it is. How many states’ CPS are complete disasters? A whole bunch of them.
Yeah, when I heard that one my thought was “Didn’t they try this one in the 60s and 70s?”
That’s because they need more funding.
/always the standard answer
And that’s exactly what this is – a money grab, plain and simple.
“The suspect, who has not been identified by police, then exited the vehicle, as the people who had just surrounded his car fled in all directions[…]’He’s got a gun!’ people screamed in video taken by a Seattle Times reporter.”
Shithead Marxists whose panties are soaked through at the thought of Civil War might want to take note of how their comrades react in such a situation.
Shhhhhh…let it be a surprise when they try something.
I saw something recently that said that the last place to refund or abolish it’s PD was Camden NJ in 2013. Which is now one of the highest crime areas in the country.
I’d like a refund on the police.
Camden was a violent hellhole long before that, and what they did was actually interesting. They disbanded the Camden PD but doubled the size of the county sheriff’s office, which is who polices the city now. Most of the Camden cops were re-hired as deputies, but it allowed them to weed out the worst apples.
Yeah, Camden’s actually gotten better since then. I mean, it’s still a hellhole, but it’s a little bit less of one.
The idea is good. The messaging (calling it “abolish the police”) is terrible.
I think it’s just spread out more evenly between Camden and Cherry Hill.
I don’t mind the messaging. It’s manstreaming it for us Libertarians.
Once again the progressives get something mainstream in 2 weeks, that which the Libertarian party couldn’t do for 40 years.
What i object to is their plans to make it even more unionized, and even more beholden to leftist politics.
Manstreaming? Is that a microagression where you stand up to pee instead of being a good little sitzpinkler? Or some sort of cam site?
I vote for “new name for white-water-rafting”, which was always too clunky.
“Pack yer kayak and let’s go MANSTREAMING!!! *excited hoots and grunting*”
They disbanded the municipal police department and replaced it with the county department. The city I went to college in did that but for different reasons. They were the population center of the county and rather than have several small municipal PDs. They agreed to have a single county PD. Probably saved some money for everyone.
If you haven’t read it lately or at all, now is the time to read The True Believer by Hoffer.
I gave it to my son for summer reading along with Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules.
We only get one SCOTUS opinion today, and it’s not on any of the issues I talked about above. Boring, short, unanimous opinion regarding a tiny issue on rules about prisoners bringing lawsuits.
Like I said, Roberts is busy “preserving the institution” in light of everything else going on.
“Defund the police? Impossible!” they cried as they defunded education, healthcare, social security, welfare, planned parenthood, public transit…
https://twitter.com/batwingdings/status/1269482126530850816
these tweets never include graphs on total government spending on education, healthcare, social security, welfare, planned parenthood, public transit so I can see the magnitude of the defunding. Based on my poor googling skill none of this shit looks remotely defunded. Maybe you can point me out to the proper resources.
They wanted a 20% increase in their annual budgets, but got 15% instead. DEFUNDED!
Progs lie about everything all the time.
Why are we not hearing calls to defund the DA?
I say privatize it all!
Seriously though she is either arguing that de-funding anything is bad or de-funding it all is ok.
Spending on education at the state, municipal and federal level is higher in both nominal and absolute terms than at any time in American history has not declined in my lifetime.
Spending on Medicare and Medicaid is higher in both nominal and absolute terms than at any time in American history.
Spending on Social Security is fixed by statute. The program is insolvent.
Isn’t public transit always pitched as being self-funding?
Also, pay for your own abortion you amoral lying fucking whore.
There we go, all bases covered. Fuck you very much.
It is funny how she threw Planned Parenthood in their. Give the thing a fuckin government charter already, the Dems treat it like its a sacred part of the government that can’t be touched.
The replies to that are hilarious. They have no idea how state/local government operates.
“While councilors have not revealed how exactly what Minneapolis’s new police force will look like, several prominent groups – including MPD150 and Reclaim The Block – have produced blueprints.
Their proposals include funding affordable housing, addiction support services, youth groups, mental health providers, social services, and arts programs.
Routine jobs such as traffic stops, mental health call-outs, responding to the scene of overdoses and policing schools would be taken out of the hands of officers and given over to EMTs, the fire service, counselors and others who are better placed to provide support.
Campaigners say a ‘small, specialized force of public servants’ could be used to prevent violent crime – since it does not make up the bulk of modern-day police work.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8398781/Minneapolis-mayor-balks-plans-abolish-police-department.html
If you take out the pork, that doesn’t sound utterly unreasonable. Police should be a small specialized force of public servant used to prevent violent crime. The problem is that there are too many laws. What percentage of police resources goes to drug enforcement?
Arts programs will solve violence, but of course.
Those useless fuckers haven’t solved a damn thing in centuries other than finding ways to get the taxpayers to support them.
Ah. Same fantasyland as in NYC. Just changing the bottomless maw the vote-buying money gets shoveled into.
Awwww, America’s first soviet. That’s adorable!

“funding affordable housing,”

This encapsulates the current shitstorm perfectly I’m supposed to choose sides between Ilhan Omar and Jeff Sessions?
Uffda.
And has anyone explained to Omar that she has no real say in how her district is policed. She is a US Congresswoman. She might try to get funds to rebuild her district, but how it is policed is a city matter (or a state matter at best).
For those who can’t twitter at work:
Lock everyone (except Amash), including Trump, in the Thunderdome. Last one alive fights Amash for the Presidency. And Justin gets first choice of weapons.
He’d still lose.
There’s no dangerous weapons, only dangerous people. I’d fight Justin Amash to the death with whatever weapons he wanted, and I am not a tough guy. He’s soft. Like pudding.
Rather have Rand or Massie. Amash is perfectly copacetic with using spooks to spy on American citizens so long as they’re people he doesn’t like.
^Massie! Massie, go get help!
Ah ha, but you are saying Amash is your third pick.

“Hollywood will tackle sex scenes by ‘using CGI’ to avoid COVID-19 transmission as filming resumes from June 12 (and some raunchy moments will have to totally scrapped!)
Sex scenes in Hollywood will reportedly be tackled using CGI and re-writes, with some being scrapped altogether, in wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
As the movie and TV industry looks to resume production from June 12 after shutting down amid the global pandemic, filmmakers have been instructed to still follow social distancing measures going forward.
And according to industry reports, this will see cast and crew being tested for coronavirus on a daily basis, given hand-washing tutorials and having intimate sequences totally restructured.
According to The Sun, a 22-page document from the film editors’ trade association states that ‘close contact moments’ will need to be ‘either rewritten, abandoned or [produced using] CGI.’
Personal Protective Equipment will be required on sets and TV shows that normally feature live studio audiences will operate without them.
Casting directors and actors will be able to resume auditions, but reportedly from behind Plexiglas.
There will also need to be ‘coronavirus compliance officers’ in attendance during shoots and auditions.”

We will forever remember the 2020 Hollywood Covid outbreak. So many of our beloved stars came down with a mild cough! I’m sure some old people died too. It finally calmed when they brought in experts from the porn industry HIV outbreak to help solve the crisis. Turns out the cure was protesting and rioting.
How are they going to install Plexiglass on the casting couch?
Kinky!

Yup. And they certainly are not going to put up with “You put me in chains” bulshit.
That is disgusting. That is all i’m going to say on the matter.
I will just say that if the kind of people who support that kind of thing apply their collectivist thinking to all white people and expect or demand some kind of obeisance they will be making a potentially fatal error in judgment. And if everyone is supposedly liable for the alleged crimes of their ancestors then they’re also due some compensation for the good deeds of their ancestors, too.

The presumptive democratic nominee said, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
What she just spouted off with isn’t too far off.
So, my planning on leaving NYC continues apace. I spoke with my boss on Friday afternoon and he seemed pretty amenable to my working from home long-term (the current plan is for the entire company to do so at least until year-end). He indicated he’d broach it up the company ladder. I’ve made travel arrangements to take my vacation in September in Savannah and Charleston. I figure I’ll look at Wilmington, NC and the Virginia coast a little later (November, maybe?). The reasons to bail out of NYC do seem to be just piling up.
Wilmington in nice, but I’d happily welcome a like-minded individual here in coastal VA.
I’ve been interested in moving to the Virginia Beach area for a while but I don’t think I’ll be able to sell the wife on it. Weather-wise it’s kind of my sweet spot, I like the vibe, and it’s still close enough to family that we can drive up to visit without too much hassle but far enough that nobody can just drop by. ABC liquor stores are a huge downside for me, but I could probably deal with it.
Maybe try selling her at the bars not on the beach?
*tries veal, tips bartender*
I’d probably like Va Beach much more than Richmond, but if I’m moving, it won’t be to stay in VA.
If you can afford NYC, you can afford CHS.
I married into SAV, but, with CHS, the folks on the other side of their state are of a similar sort of stupid. Whereas there are so many different sorts of stupid around GA that you never know from legislative session to session what flavor of crazy you’re getting. SC crazy is pretty stable and predictable.
The golf is pretty even, so you can choose based on whatever you please.
My favorite quote about SC: Too small to be a country, too large to be an insane asylum.
I can’t believe I actually live here now.
Also
you could live in Beaufort and just commute to SAV
Golf isn’t a big attraction to me. I want to be near water because I like sailing.
Both seem extremely reasonable, compared to what I’m paying in New York. I mean, like, “I’d save a lot moving from a one bedroom apartment to buying a 3-4 bedroom house” kind of reasonable.
I forgot, thanks for the advice!
My neighborhood in CHS area is probably 50% NY and NJ transplants.

That spawned a pretty helpful Internet rabbit-hole for me, because I learned the most useful word I’ll encounter today: baizuo, or “white left”, a Mandarin word used to refer to educated but naive Westerners who are obsessed with multiculturalism and political correctness. Apparently it’s the equivalent of “libtard”, but it sounds better I think.
Neat. Going to use that.
It’s one of those phrases the, dunno what to call them… the alt light dudes have latched onto for a couple years now. Just a heads up.
Yeah, I just read something on Vdare about it. John Derbyshire mentions it. Honestly, at the risk of being tarred with the same brush I think it’s accurate and pithy enough to be brought out to the larger culture.
Words are just words. Trying to give them magic powers and guilt by association only works if you let the progs do it.
Any pithy or cutting word, phrase, or meme that hurts leftists will be declared “alt-right” regardless of its provenance.

A comment from yesterday’s pm dead thread:
My wife is on NextDoor / NextDerp. I’ve never seen the feed, since I avoid all social media, but we’ve bought patio furniture and whatnot for dirt cheap, plus some free stuff like bushes for our yard.
There appear to be a contingent of Karens there, too, from the reports by my wife. Now if I can just figure out which Karen turned us in to the HOA for having the audacity to plant trees and whatnot in our yard without first begging permission, I could have the joy of retaliating.
Who pays your property taxes?
Ummm … we do?
If your point is that we ostensibly own our land, then sure.
ut if some jackass can file an anonymous complaint and make me fill out a bunch of paperwork which theoretically might not be approved, then de facto some bundle of property rights related to yard improvement doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to the HOA.
If you move into an HOA, you’ve signed a contract. Whose property it really is doesn’t enter into it.

No skin off my nose, just have the decency to reciprocate the apathy. I think a whole lot of the lunacy these days is the fear of what the other will do to if elected president. I know that the only reason I much care about the presidency is to deny the left opportunities to wreck things more than they already are. If the president and the Congress didn’t have that ability, do you think I’d really care if the president were a carnival-banker loudmouth buffon or a senile, drooling moron?

You won’t get this until the states can print their own money.
Right now, the Feds control almost everything, either directly under the Commerce Clause and ranted powers or indirectly through conditional federal grants, aka the end-run around constitutional limitations.

I’ll vote for ya with that platform!
Isn’t the Fed letting Michigan print its own money by buying up all their bonds?
Pretty much, but it’s going to be factored into national inflation instead of their state problem.

Does anyone speak gibberish? If so can you translate the quote from the protester in that article?
I like the cut of this guy’s jib:

I do not support ‘Black Lives Matter’.
Never have and never will.
Why?
Because they only care about the 0.001% of black lives that they can use to push their divisive political agenda.
The whole thing is disingenuous BS.
A catchy name isn’t enough to dupe all of us.
It’s instructive to note that the “offical” BLM organization was founded by Marxists.
And he holds the women’s deadlift record. (Sentence that makes sense today)
Has he appeared before the King of Blacks to see if he is a real black man?
“…founded by Marxists.”
BLM is and was always Marxism in blackface.
Indeed. It uses a legitimate issue, police brutality, as a Trojan horse for a cornucopia of Marxist bullshit and defines issues in such a way that opposition to said Marxist bullshit is verboten because RACISM!!!1!
And this would seem to be blatantly obvious:

If this country had as big as a racist problem as y’all claimed, you’d think Nazis and Klansman would be meeting you head on during the protests.
But they aren’t. That’s because there are way more non-racists.
It’s almost like this is just a statism problem.
But.. but.. Proud Boys.
A former co-worker on Facebook breathlessly announced that the Proud Boys were going to show up at a protest and watch out for them because they are dangerous and anti-all-the-good-things.
