Tira de me dedo, hombre.
Biden pulls out one of Trump’s tricks and sends migrants really, really, far back into Mexico.
The UK put Mexico on its travel ban, which actually a pretty big deal. Never fear, President Harris is….okay its not like she can unilaterally declare war on Mexico.
…but they did sue a bunch of gun manufacturers. Apparently the restrictions Congress put on suing gun manufacturers don’t apply to Mexico.
The recovering crackhead pillow guy enlists Brazilian Trump’s son to speak at his stop the steal cyber symposium. It wasn’t that long ago that line would sound ridiculous.

Just got a notice from management.
The cusstodial staff will no longer be picking up the recycleables from people’s work cubes.
Note, they still pick up the trash. I expect that instead of people carrying the recycles to the central bin, these items will just get trashed.
Perverse incentives are perverse.
My (normally liberal-ish) GF spent the weekend in DC chaperoning her neice at Otakon, and was floored by the recycling requirements that the AirBnB hosts communicated. Washing disposable paper dishes and containers because the paper recycler won’t take dirty/greasy paper? Separating everything? She said she got in a brief argument with her very proggy cousin (also present) about the massive waste of water, soap, and time–she says that she wasted so much water cleaning the disposable dishes that it probably outweighed the benefit of recycling.
It’s obvious that once the true costs of recycling became known, the jurisdictions that were paying for it decided that rather than pay the recyclers to do the cleaning and separating, they’d just impose the requirements on the “customers”/residents on penalty of fines. I’d bet if anyone were willing or able to do the calculations of lost time and expense to comply with these rules, they’d be astronomical.
The seen and the unseen…
The only reason we wash some of our recyclables (plastic and cans) is because if we don’t, the ravens, crows, jays, magpies, squirrels, coyotes and (occasionally) trash pandas will rip the bag apart and spread said items all over our neighbourhood.
Some of our neighbours have not yet learned this lesson.
Locals here too seem confused about what is recyclable.
Is the Bullshit! episode still applicable?
I just figure it’s going into the same landfill anyway.
The only reason I put the dardboard out on recycling day is taht it’s too hard to get it in the trash bags, and they’ll take a box of boxes on tuesdays.
Good and bad to be said about alleys.
Is the Bullshit! episode still applicable?
Yes.
The Bullshit! is good, also check out the Adam Ruins Everything on the subject.
I read this many moons ago and it was eye opening although I can’t say I looked into it much further:
https://www.perc.org/wp-content/uploads/old/ps28.pdf
“Eight Great Myths of Recycling”
It’s interesting stuff.
Here in proggy Tucson, they no longer recycle glass. They quit on non-aluminum cans years ago. All that can go in your recycling been is paper and aluminum cans. And clean cardboard – if it has any pizza grease on it, no bueno.
And I’m about 90% sure it all gets landfilled.
Pure. Virtue. Signalling.
Just like most green energy and efficiency.
My wife has been on an energy efficiency kick in response to higher energy costs but the upfront cost, lifespan, and savings largely do not justify any of it. Turn off the AC, the lights, tv, heating, and so on and live in a dark cave would do more for “energy saving”. And also suck.
Up here, we recycle paper and cardboard with some kerosene and a match. Aluminum – well, I plan to start melting aluminum cans, casting them in ingots and shipping them to a buddy of mine in the 48 who has access to a machine shop. He figures he’ll get some use out of the stuff.
Metal recycling makes sense to me — I have a cousin who works in the copper mines near Princeton, B.C. who took me through on an impromptu tour a couple of years ago; the sheer amount of energy and machinery required to take copper ore at around 0.05% purity and turn it into 30% concentrate (which was then shipped off to Japan for further processing and ultimately refining to a purity of 99.9% for electrical applications) was mind-boggling.
Plastic recycling would make more sense if it weren’t for the fact that there’s thousands and thousands of different types and chemistries of plastics out there, and many of them aren’t compatible with each other in the recycling stream.
Paper? Puh-LEEZE. Stuff practically grows on trees!
There’s a reason aluminum smelters set up shop near cheap hydropower.
Not only does metal recycling make sense from that perspective, but also it’s easier to clean metal during the prep stage of the recycling process because you can just burn off the detritus, something that can’t be done with paper/cardboard or plastic.
Most Plastic containers and packaging have a numeric code indicating the resin type.
Indeed, and many of them are numeric code “7.” Which is just another way of saying “Usually can’t be recycled.”
Pretty much the only thing worth recycling is aluminum cans. Everything else is a loser.
Covid related right? They must not want them to handle empty cans, bottles, etc.
Nope.
$ related. They didn’t want to pay the contractor as much, so the answer was to buy fewer services.
Ah got it, at least that’s a reasonable reason.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_XCRLDUl6sM
Most “recyclables” should be trashed.
In fairness, most stuff that people throw in the recycle bin ought to be thrown in the trash, so this is probably overall a beneficial policy change.
Where I live the trash collection is performed directly by the county. A fancy truck drives by, grabs the can with a mechanical arm, and hoists the can up and dumps it into an opening at the top of the truck. One operator, about fifteen seconds per house start to finish including drive time.
Recycling, otoh, requires a crew of at least three people and is provided by CVWMA, which appears to be a quasi-government organization. There is a driver, and two people on foot. They dump all the bins into the same opening of a truck. That means that someone must sort through it later by hand. The only thing which can be mechanically sorted is “tin” (magnetizable) cans.
Too soon!
Did we know each other in high school? That was my nickname
Nearly 200 Mexican and Central American family members were expelled deep into Mexico on Thursday in what are expected to be regular flights, the person said.
It’s like relocating a trapped animal.
A third wave of Covid-19 infections in Mexico has seen around 20,000 new cases a day, which triggered the U.K. to change the country’s status from amber to red on its travel list.
20,000 new cases a day. If this were an actual no-shit Spanish Flu level event, I can’t imagine the level of panic that would ensue.
“We don’t do it to pressure the United States,” Celorio said.
Sure.
If this were an actual no-shit Spanish Flu level event
, I can’t imagine the level of panic that would ensue.everyone would act pretty much the same as they do right now. Denialists would deny, authoritarians would authoritay, pundits would pontificate, and the bulk of people would continue their lives as best they can.everyone would act pretty much the same as they do right now.
You’re more optimistic than me.
Or pessimistic.
The all new generation of Mayan and Aztec warriors will be fun when they walk across the border and march straight to DC to kick Biden’s bony old hind.
It would be racist to stop them.
My take on the Cuomo resignation:
When a politician is going to be impeached, should resignation prevent/foreclose the legal proceedings?
While there are significant expenses associated with conducting a resignation, wouldn’t it be appropriate to follow through? The consequences of impeachment are supposed to be part of the punishment. When a CEO of a company commits a crime and is deposed by the corporate board, the prosecutors don’t drop charges and say “well, that’s punishment enough.”
Plus doesn’t Albany want to get in on that souvenir pen action like Pelosi?
Cuomomafioso, too mafioso, not enough woke.
Sorry, meant to write: …significant expenses associated with conducting an impeachment…
AFAIK, impeachment is what allows for legal proceedings to proceed. I’m not familiar with New York, and every state is different, but I know many places (including the federal government) rightfully place executives (and others) beyond the reach of prosecutors until they are out of office. Impeachment is thus the mechanism for starting a criminal proceeding against an officer of the state, it is not the punishment but the indictment. So I would think that resignation accomplishes the same thing as impeachment, only quicker and with a tacit admission of guilt on the part of the accused. There may of course be other machinations going on behind the scenes.
Two thoughts on this. First, NYS hadn’t filed for impeachment. It was only threatened. Second, the penalty for impeachment is removal from office. Resignation is a face saving measure. It doesn’t protect the impeached from other legal consequences.
The Mexican government argues that the companies know that their practices contribute to the trafficking of guns to Mexico and facilitate it. Mexico wants compensation for the havoc the guns have wrought in its country.
The Mexican government “brings this action to put an end to the massive damage that the Defendants cause by actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico,” the lawsuit said.
Mexico is a failed state. Whom will you sue for that?
Also- I thought the US government was the primary supplier of guns trafficked in Mexico.
actively facilitating the unlawful trafficking of their guns to drug cartels and other criminals in Mexico
You know who actively faciliates, etc.?
The vastly corrupt Mexican government, that’s who.
I actively encourage them to sue the ATF.
Please, pretty please…
If they don’t do it fast, I’ll be furious.

Foremost delusional old geezer
Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases doctor, on Tuesday said he supports any effort from local governments to mandate that teachers be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
“I’m going to upset people on this, but I think we should [mandate teacher vaccinations],” Fauci said during an appearance on MSNBC. “I mean, we are in a critical situation now. We have had 615,000 deaths and we are in a major surge now as we’re going into the fall, into the school season. This is very serious business.”
Fauci had been asked about comments made over the weekend by American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten in which she indicated she would also support mandating coronavirus vaccinations for all teachers across the country.
“As a matter of personal conscience, I think that we need to be working with our employers, not opposing them on vaccine mandates,” Weingarten said on Sunday in an appearance on “Meet The Press.” “And so I said last week that I wanted to bring my leadership together, and we are this week to, you know, revisit and to reconsider our policy that we passed in October about voluntary — that the best way to do this was to do it volitionally.”
Self-ownership is anarchy.
Everything not prohibited is mandatory.
No, he’s not. He is a primary care doctor who’s training is 50 years out of date, and hasn’t treated a patient in 50 years, since he got out of residency. He’s not boarded in infectious disease or immunology. He is in no sense an infectious disease doctor.
Fauci is, to paraphrase the Old Master, “…a chair warmer and a luncheon speaker.”
He plays one on TV…
the nation’s leading infectious diseases doctor
But is he?
We have had 615,000 deaths
From?
we are in a major surge now as we’re going into the fall
It’s called flu season.
More positive tests than last summer. Less than half as many deaths as last summer. Hospitalization, I don’t have the big picture, but anecdotally our COVID patient population is probably half or less than last summer. The capacity issues come from hospitals have as many or more non-COVID patients than usual.
Last summer they were barring non-covid patients were they not? Or at least begging them to wait? I can’t remember, it was so damn long ago.
Some (most?) states banned elective (read: scheduled) surgeries last spring/summer. Probably what you are thinking of.
OK, I admit, I won’t mind seeing Randi Weingarten beat the snot out of the old fool.
This may be the cripple fight we need.
The delta variant of the virus has sent daily case counts and hospitalization rates soaring in recent weeks, especially in portions of the country with lower vaccination rates. In several states where local leaders have resisted mask mandates, the spread is especially prevalent among children, a demographic for which a vaccination has not been approved for use.
There, you see?
Incontrovertible proof that masks are 199% effective.
One school district opened here last week, I think. Masking optional, as required by the state.
They sent the entire first grade class home. They were symptomatic, and many tested positive.
On the first day of school. Meaning, they could not possibly have gotten it at school.
Naturally, this is being taken as an example of why we should mandate that children be masked at school.
People are stupid, and I hate them.
Preach on!
Smoke you!
So like chicken pox when I was a kid?
All the kids that got sent home are at home calling each other horrendous names on Fortnite or Black Ops laughing at the school.
Teenaged varicella probably not fatal IME but…

Some time off school. Sorry to hear that Sr. GL had sequelae.
I would have got the CP vaccine if it were available in my age…
HPV: IDK
They have been doing that since March 2020. “People attending blah blah” have tested positive. Means they already had it and went anyway or were not quite sick yet when they went. Do we expect them to be honest when there is fear to be had?
the spread is especially prevalent among children
And? Children benefit from spreading this and other things around while they are young and not susceptible. It is called building immunity.
Murderer! Kids should be shielded from disease and death! Never see it until they are too old to comprehend it. Rebel, I am disappoint with you.
Not to spoil my article that’s dropping this evening, but the CDC’s own data raises some interesting questions regarding the efficacy of the measures taken to fight the pandemic. If I read the data right, 2020 saw a large increase in deaths due to pneumonia (compared to 2019) that was not attributed to COVID (the deaths surely would have been put in the COVID column if this was the case), which seems to me to call into question the utility of masks, as pneumonia is generally caused by respiratory infection, which theoretically should be down if masks are effective at stopping respiratory infections.
Alejandro Celorio, legal advisor for the ministry, told reporters Wednesday that the damage caused by the trafficked guns would be equal to 1.7% to 2% of Mexico’s gross domestic product. The government will seek at least $10 billion in compensation, he said. Mexico’s GDP last year was more than $1.2 trillion.
MATH!
“I’m sorry. I know people must like to have their individual freedom and not be told to do something,” Fauci said. “But I think that we’re in such a serious situation now, that under certain circumstances, mandates should be done.”
The world would be a better place if Foochy’s dismembered body were fished out of a dumpster tomorrow.
The “must” is interesting in that sentence. Its the word you use when you just can’t comprehend something, when people do or like something that you just can’t connect with.
“He wears a lab coat, he must be a doctor”. Hmm, you are correct.
It is widely known that most leftists are socially crippled by lack of empathy.

“Gimme Back My Bullets” on AMMO BOX GUITAR
Heard on the radio yesterday that Lynard Skynard had to stop playing “Gimme Back My Bullets” at concerts because people were throwing cartridges and shotshells at them during the song. I don’t know why that struck me as funny.
I wonder what those fans do at a .38 Special concert?
Given current prices, they may start playing that again.

Weird? Maybe. Seems like narcissistic, control freaks.
Their recommendations are about some weird attempt to eliminate all risk in life.
Well I can see why they would be considering a mandate. That kind of unprecedented carnage, I mean who wouldn’t?
That’s funny, I don’t care who ya are.
Not really funny, per se, but I can’t manage any sympathy for a guy who gets his bodily autonomy violated by people upset he’s trying to violate their bodily autonomy. Lie in the bed that you make, and all that.
Politicians/lawmakers deal in violence as their profession. Their job is to force us to do things. (It should be to protect our rights, but that ship…)
I’ve no sympathy for any of them getting a dose of their own medicine. If they fear violence from their constituents, that’s a good thing, IMHO.

“Buy now, pay later” options are becoming increasingly popular, but analysts warn of default risks given the lack of credit checks and “opaque” debt reporting.
Not being able to check on consumers’ credit history could lead to lenders to underestimate borrowers’ debt levels when assessing new loan applications, they said. There’s also the risk of consumers chalking up more credit card debt in order to pay off their “buy now, pay later” (BNPL) obligations, analysts warned.
BNPL providers usually tie up with retailers — both online and in stores — to offer consumers the option to pay in installments, with perks including no late fees and often high loan limits.
Such payment options are growing in popularity among younger consumers especially for online shopping, and an increasing number of companies have started offering the service in the past couple of years.
A “hidden” source of risk, it says. Okay.
You mean that extending large amounts of credit to fiscally irresponsible people may backfire? No way!
I guess I got it in my youth, but now? A purchase over $200 requires both my wife and I to talk about it, explore it, decide..etc. We can afford it no problem, but man, wisdom is wasted on the elderly.

https://www.aier.org/article/a-deficit-of-clear-thinking-about-loss-of-freedom/
In retrospect, the 1980s and 1990s were a period of ideological delusion for many friends of liberty. The Reagan and Clinton years created the impression that personal freedom and limited government were possibly making a comeback. Reagan’s often eloquent rhetoric and captivating humor in which he preached about liberty and satirized communists, socialists and others on “the left,” was summed up in his often used phrase that, “Government is the problem, not the solution.” Plus, Bill Clinton’s declaration that the era of Big Government was over, due to his stalemate with a Republican-controlled Congress for most of his presidency that saw several years of modest federal budget surpluses, made it seem that, maybe, the tide might have turned away from increasing political paternalism and governmental control. (See my article, “The Lasting Legacy of the Reagan Revolution”.)
But that was shown to be really wrong in the 21st century under the George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and, now, Joe Biden Administrations.
But the March of History! Also I had the feeling of this by at least 2008.
We are running headlong in the direction of a far more comprehensive paternalistic state, and farther away from a world in which government would basically leave us alone in our peaceful and voluntary actions and activities with our fellow human beings.
….
However, if current trends continue in the present direction for too long, the potential and possibility for liberty may be irreparably lost. We need to remember and to forewarn others that liberty is far easier to lose than to be successfully and fully regained once it is lost.
Freedom is a social norm and it turns out destroying the traditions of a free society will destroy freedom. Whoops.
I screwed up the quote function. Been a while since I posted here..
Screwed up the threading too. Oops…
God what a screw up you are but given who your mom is, I guess its okay.
Well, yes. As some wag wrote:
“Traditions are solutions to problems we’ve forgotten about. Get rid of the solution, and you get the problem back.”
Chesterton’s Fence
We need to remember and to forewarn others that liberty is far easier to lose than to be successfully and fully regained once it is lost.
Ronald Reagan said the same.
I know he didn’t govern as well as he spoke, but man he spoke well. A great “what if” for me would be what would have his administration looked like had the Americans actually ever given him a Republican Congress to work with.
Imagine his rhetorical skills with Goldwater’s policies. We would be in Libertopia or an extension of Sudan by now. Not sure which.
Reagan didn’t do shit to reduce the scope of the state. He ran on dismantling the newly created Dept of Education – how’d that work out? He couldn’t dump enough money into Defense – just like every other PoS Republican.
And then there were the people he put onto the Supreme Court.
But that’s the thing, how much of that was him not meaning what he said versus not being able to do what he wanted? AFAIK, departments are created by and so must also be abolished by Congress, and he was never given a compliant Congress. Hence, my “what if” scenario.
His court choices were entirely on him, so you have a fair point there, but while they were not as good as one would expect from his rhetoric they were not especially bad, considering the context of who else was placed on the courts by other presidents.
He let the shove an asshole Bush on to his ticket – that meant everything he accomplished in terms of reform would be immediately be undone – and it was.

Kathy Hochul, New York’s lieutenant governor, was catapulted into the national spotlight Tuesday when Gov. Andrew Cuomo abruptly announced his resignation amid a growing sexual harassment scandal.
In two weeks, Hochul will become the first woman ever to lead the state of New York, when Cuomo’s resignation takes effect and she assumes the office.
Hochul, 62, is relatively unknown outside of New York political circles, and she is certainly not a household name like her predecessor.
But people who know Hochul say the former congresswoman is ready for the job. Hochul said on Tuesday that she is ready to lead New York, which is still battling the Covid pandemic and is in the midst of a fragile economic recovery.
“I agree with Governor Cuomo’s decision to step down. It is the right thing to do and in the best interest of New Yorkers,” she said in a Twitter post.
I thought he’d fight tooth and nail.
Interesting… she’s from Buffalo. The state party machine must not like that.

Why is it that the most successful society in history is rapidly commiting suicide? I find it bizarre. Liberalism, unlike Communism, really did produce enormous wealth and didn’t lose a World War like Nazism yet its own elites are committed to its destruction…
If I had to pick one of the isms to blame, it would be feminism.
Second and third wave feminism spawned all of the crazy we’re dealing with now. Old-school commies are kind of quaint by comparison.
When your philosophy is centered on hating others because of immutable characteristics, its a quick descent to madness.
Why is it that the most successful society in history is rapidly commiting suicide?
The cyclical view of history predicts that nations which are successful get fat and lazy and eventually have their lunch eaten by up and comers. There is some merit to this.
You might as well ask – why did Rome fall?

No opinions for you!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been suspended from Twitter for tweeting that the COVID vaccines should not be approved by the FDA.
She also said that the COVID vaccines are failing to reduce the spread of the virus.
The tweet is now unsharable and has a warning that says “misleading.”
She also said that vax mandates and passports violate individual freedom. In fact, by my judgement, she did not say anything incorrect.
Nothing in that is misinformation. Opinion maybe and some opinion based in facts. Yet people still use Twitter.
Censoring opposition politicians for saying opinions unapproved by the regime. What could go wrong?
Let’s impose more sanctions on Lukashenko! Oh, wait… it’s not about Belarus?

Forgiven my child. Peace be upon thee.
Fucking scapegoats- how do they work?
Migrants are no more likely to have the coronavirus than any other travelers who are crossing the border, or anyone living in COVID hotspots in the U.S., medical experts say. To some observers, it all feels like the latest chapter in a long history of scapegoating immigrants.
Public health experts say the emphasis on migrants is a diversion
“This is not a border issue, it is not a migrant issue,” said Dr. Michele Heisler, the medical director of the organization Physicians for Human Rights, in an interview with NPR.
The places in the U.S. with the highest positivity rates are not near the border, Heisler said, or in the parts of the U.S. where migrants are heading. Instead they tend to be places with the lowest vaccination rates — and where governors have opposed mask mandates.
“They’re just trying to divert attention from the actual measures that we need to take,” Heisler said. “You know, asking people to wear masks, and socially distance, and take care of themselves and their loved ones. And it’s baffling to me that instead of trying to protect lives, they’re trying to create a scapegoat.”
Listen. Scapegoating is perfectly legitimate, if you point the finger at the right scapegoats.
A random sample of migrants is unlikely to spread the plague, but going to the grocery store in your hick flyover home town unmasked is nothing short of murder.
Clever little distraction they presented there. Travelers, through normal ports of entry, are subjugated to all the nonsense of the government, may it be passports, COVID tests, etc. Travelers avoiding those normal points of entry are not. I know that is complicated to comprehend and all and this is all coming from a dirty Fed.
are no more likely
Even without masks and vaccination? You don’t say?
“Migrants” “immigrants”
Bullshit. Illegal aliens who have unlawfully entered this country. In short, invaders. Their apologists should hanged as traitors.
There is a risk of unvaccinated migrants spreading the virus, Meléndez said. But he emphasized that they pose no more or less of a risk than anyone else who’s unvaccinated.
“The positivity rate in the migrants that are coming in are almost exactly as the positivity rates here,” Meléndez said. “Is this a pandemic of the migrants? No, it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
And again, they act as if the concept of natural immunity is some sort of bizarre sci-fi fantasy less probable than faster than light space travel.
Maybe it’s a “pandemic” of the vulnerable; you know, of the intrinsically unhealthy.
Nature always wins. Why we don’t recognize that, is beyond me.
“The positivity rate in the migrants that are coming in are almost exactly as the positivity rates here,” Meléndez said. “Is this a pandemic of the migrants? No, it’s a pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
And the vaccination rate among impoverished migrants is exactly the same as it is here?
Joe Biden’s Most Profound and Inspirational Quotes
I would be really funny if he was the pretend President of another country.
Nah, it’s still funny.
The government is a sick joke. Who better to personify it?

In my fantasy world, his speech writers get high and laugh themselves silly watching Biden try to read their words.
Thanks for the lynx, Señor!
And even if you weren’t looking for it, that’s a great goddamn song!
I’m kinda pissed, though. I just went and bought some mats for my basement gym from a dude who closed his. He said that too many of his customers just never came back after the shutdown. He had been operating for five years and doing well before the lockdowns.
The place was in Boulder, so I can only presume the guy was at least sympathetic to the progs. Not any more. We had a nice bitch session but it left me wondering just how many small businesses are doing the exact same thing.
Speed the collapse.
If clients keep demanding my wife’s vax status…we aren’t that far behind. Though we have a significant black market opportunity if that happens for a lot of her clients. It is fucked….I agree..lets light this candle and get it on.
My gym owner never ever required masks – even when he was required to. As a result he has more members than he did 2 years ago. He doesn’t care if people elect to wear masks, but offers to cancel the membership of anyone complaining about other people not wearing them.
Might help that he’s in the conservative corner of NJ.

@BeschlossDC has proven his ignorance by showing a picture of the Rose Garden in its infancy. The Rose Garden is graced with a healthy & colorful blossoming of roses. His misleading information is dishonorable & he should never be trusted as a professional historian.
…You leave Melania alone!
She did alright in the defense of it. But yes, no one gives a damn if you are a former president, first lady, diplomat. Well, they shouldn’t.
But isn’t American history nothing more that slavery, genocide, colonialism and White Supremacy? Oh wait Orange Man Bad.
In principle I agree with you. Now my question is is this something that routinely gets afforded former first ladies?
If you click the link in her profile, it goes to the similar Office of Donald J Trump. Neither one is an official office of the US government, although both probably get some amount of funding like all ex Presidents get these days.

What’s happening in Afghanistan is catastrophic. US forces on the ground were working w/Afghan forces to prevent terrorists from establishing safe havens from which they can attack us again.
Withdrawing US forces is allowing terrorists & their allies to take over the country.
Neo-con nation-building is so 2002.
Withdrawing US forces is allowing terrorists & their allies to take over the country.
I don’t care.

There’s nothing stopping you from buying a rifle and a plane ticket you bitch. If it means so much to you get over there and get to work.
I’ll pay for the rifle, the plane ticket, the parachute, and one pair of adult depends that she’ll need when they kick her butt out the door at 20,000 ft.
She can’t be expected to nut up.
She’ll be more than happy to send your or my kid though.
It is catastrophic and heart-wrenching. I don’t like people living in that fear, but absent us making it a territory and completely changing their culture and way of life, like children we just got to let them figure it out on their own.
We could have done it the Trump way. But we couldn’t because you know, Trump is Hitler. So instead we did the same thing only let Biden do it. So it will be FUBAR. By Biden’s first full year in office, the Taliban will be in complete control of the country and there will be stonings in every public square. They’ll be right back to little warring tribes, exactly like it was before we showed up. And at what cost? But hey, wokeness is the most important thing, right? When Biden’s new woke military shows up, the Afghans will once again be hiding in the rocks, frightened out of of the fight by morbidly obese pink and green haired Xe.
Or we could let the Afghan’s decide. Nah, that’s not woke!
Breaking the deal before we honored it doomed it. It was probably doomed anyway but that removed all doubt.
We could have asked the Russians. But we already knew Trump would be Putin’s beeatch, so…
In fairness, the Taliban was going to take over no matter what. The Trump way simply negotiated with the Taliban so that they would promise not to harbor terrorists at war with us and that there would be a cease fire long enough for us to save face (i.e. the Taliban would have waited until a few months after we left to complete their conquest instead of doing it while we were still there). But that’s realistically the best case scenario for withdrawing, and we should withdraw, as we have no national interest in making Afghanistan a puppet state.
I know this is anti-liberty as fuck and shouldn’t be implemented but saying that, if a politician votes for a war, they should be required to go over there with a gun in hand and fight for at least one tour. If they are too old, send their nearest relative. Liz Cheney can spout her neo-Con bullshit because she suffers no consequences and her pockets are lined by her MIC cronies.
I wouldn’t say it was anti-liberty. It is in defense of the republic. If you as a representative feel that strongly that we must send forces to a foreign land, you shall be given a commission and help lead the endeavor. Defense of our home is a different story.
“Defense of our home” means she gets fragged.
What’s happening in Afghanistan is catastrophic. US forces on the ground were working w/Afghan forces to prevent terrorists from establishing safe havens from which they can attack us again.
Twenty fucking years, you stupid twat. If we haven’t made Afghanistan into a civilized nation by now, we never will.
Never mind the fact that there are warring factions that have been at each others throats for thousands of years. We never should’ve stuck our dick in that hornet’s nest in the first place.
Don’t stick it in crazy.
“Never mind the fact that there are warring factions that have been at each others throats for thousands of years. We never should’ve stuck our dick in that hornet’s nest in the first place.”
Same goes for Europe. You would think a literal century of atrocities and two world wars would have taught us better, but no.
Ok one scumbag Dem Governor gone and the next one will hopefully be sent packing in another month. Let’s see if they can rig it enough to keep Greasy Gav in the top seat.
Speaking of Reagan, Clinton and Trump this does remind me that one of the reasons we are in such deep trouble right now is that so much of our politics are purely about aethestics not principles or results especially from the “liberals” and cosmotarians.
Reagan made some nice speeches so he was good. Clinton said one line in one goddamn speech and the libertarian moment is here. What was the most serious problem with Trump? He too mean and vulgar in his speeches and his tweets. Sure Biden is doing horrible things but at least he is phrasing it nicely.
Is our society really that shallow and totalitarian? Is totalitarianism okay if the dictator justifies it in an erudite manner? Judging by the last year, yes…
Is our society really that shallow and totalitarian? Is totalitarianism okay if the dictator justifies it in an erudite manner?
Well, I’d hardly categorize anything coming from Biden as exactly erudite. But, I get your point. I could almost understand it from Republicans and Democrats. They actually have skin in the game. But, libertarians?
Well Biden is supposed to be moderate, boring and competent as well which are again mainly aesthetic arguments..
In discussing presidential administrations, I haven’t heard a word about actual policy in face-to-face, casual conversations in the last five years. Perhaps longer.
“Is our society really that shallow and totalitarian?”
A majority in our society are Karens, looking for any excuse to justify their own failures as humans. Their *lack* of humanity drives them to dehumanize you and that makes them feel good about being evil mother fuckers. Forcing others to wear masks, to vaccinate, to nuke the Middle East… shows that they care. …that by being sadistic fucks they are benevolent.
Evolution has yet to catch up to walled cities. But eventually sociopaths will be culled.
Erm, care to elaborate?
OT: I can’t believe that the fucking GOP (well 18 of them) voted for that infrastructure bill. I can believe it but they really don’t give a shit about their supposed principles. They constantly give their base and their principles a middle finger and wonder why people like Trump are slowly taking over the party. Statist fucks.
When was the last time the Republicans had principles? Coolidge maybe?

Ah yes those sensible moderates who will save us from Trumpism…
Much obliged.
At least Cornyn is not on there. I saw that he voted for cloture, so I was worried he would vote for the whole thing. Although voting for cloture really is just as bad, but his vote didn’t make a difference either way on either of the votes, so it is interesting signalling to vote split like that.
What gets me about Romney is that the Democrats and their sycophant’s in the media drug him and his family through the mud during the 2012 Presidential Election but yet he’s eager to please these assholes and maintain this image of “being above it all.” No wonder this asshole didn’t win and allowed someone like Obama to eat his lunch. I didn’t vote for this jellyfish because it was apparent that he lacked any principles whatsoever.
Romney is truly shameful. Biden said that Romney wanted to reinstate race-based slavery (“they’re gonna put y’all back in chains”), which I would think would be the highest slander that honor would demand at least an apology for before being on good terms with the slanderer, yet here Romney is dutifully aiding Biden while having acted like Trump was somehow beyond the pale. Utah can and should do better.
It was great when he came to Trump for a job in his administration and had that humiliating picture taken of him at the restaurant in NYC. Trump was an asshole to do that but at the same time Romney is slimy fuck who deserve all the humiliation that the universe can throw at him.
From local news:

How dare they!
I can’t believe that the fucking GOP (well 18 of them) voted for that infrastructure bill.\
A product of the fetishism of bipartisanship, compromise, and “working together” among the moderates. As if there’s any valor or virtue in compromising with people who want to burn your house down.

Vaccines do not work to stop spread of variants
OK. So, there will be thousands of these variants by the end of this current year. What is that going to look like? Will they mandate a vaccine for all variants?

If you want to travel internationally, do NOT even try it unless it is absolutely necessary. Ignore me at your own peril. You’ve been warned.
Be more specific. I’ve travelled internationally within the last 9 months and am planning to in December.
“planning to in December”
Have fun.
More specific? My wife already attempted it once 2 weeks ago. The result? She arrives at Dulles, they will not let her get on a flight to London, and she arrives back home at 1am the next morning. They wouldn’t let her get on the plane because bubble head bleach blonde idiot PM of Limeyfuckistan will not let anyone get on a flight to there if they do not present a negative PCR Covid test and it must be taken no more than 48 hours before arriving in Londonifuckistan. So, you have exactly 48 hours to get this test, receive the results, AND arrive at your international destination.
It was NOT like this 9 months ago, AND it gets more extreme by the day. It is by far more insane that it was just two weeks ago.
Now, you can do that math. And the test will cost you between $200-300.
Any more question, I’d be glad to try to help.
Thanks. Going to Turks. They’ve remained pretty cool, but we’ll see. Canceling will not be the end of the world.

My mom visited me from Russia earlier this summer. It was inconvenient that she couldn’t transfer in Western Europe and fly directly to Boston. I had to pick her up at JFK, which is a bit further away than BOS. But it was still doable. She got a negative test before the trip. That was it. On the way back to Russia she didn’t need to take a test at all–thanks to her vaccination.
Britain will not accept a fully vaccinated CDC card. Germany will, which doesn’t matter if you have to change planes in Lodonistan.
If you know all of the rules ahead of time, that will definitely be helpful. But the rules change seemingly by the hour. All of this was not true a month ago.
Brazil will also not accept a fully vaccinated CDC card. And you have to take the test no more than 48 hours before arriving at your destination. The window is very tight. No way I’d even attempt it, too much stress. My wife decided to try it and she’s about to have a nervous breakdown.
One person I know told me ‘Oh, travel is no problem! I traveled to Alaska no more than 6 months ago’.
I responded ‘Umm, Alaska is in the United States now’.
Actually, up until I think March, Alaska was requiring a negative Kung Flu test within 72 hours of arrival – or that you submit a “quarantine plan” that nobody had any intention of seeing that you followed.

He also recently said that people shouldn’t say mean things about cops. So, he can take his free speech hypocrisy and shove it up his ass.
Except that a judge ruled Trump couldn’t block people from reading his Tweets. The block only goes one way.
And that judge is/was an idiot, that doesn’t excuse Rand from being a fuck wad as well. Grading on a curve is for middle schoolers.
Use their rules against them.
There are two kinds of speech; speech that is favored by the regime and speech that is disfavored by the regime. Alphabet and the Government are two limbs of the same organism. Paul is just getting reminded of his leash here.
3 more hours of work ?
I was hoping the thunderstorm would make my power go out so I could sign out.

“NEW – Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Michael Bloomberg team up to form a joint venture to drill for about $1.4 trillion worth of rare natural resources for electric car batteries on Greenland’s pristine land.”

It’s all about the environment.
Sometimes I wonder if Trumpy was playing 4D chess after all. You know, with the whole “offering to buy Greenland” thing.
Bill’s gonna need all that cash to pay off all of the wimminz he’s been hittin’ on over the last 30 years.

Weasel does it late in the afternoon.
I read the article.
She honestly believes that somehow “we can beat COVID-19 once and for all [emphasis mine].”
Who the Hell voted for this witling?
The tinker bell flappers that control this state.
That’s not how coronaviruses work. They do not go away. They mutate and persist, particularly in the immunodeficient and vitamin C/D deficient.

Sure it’s old news around here, but apparently some Vietnamese dude has been reporting live from Portlandia, and what is he reporting?
For one thing, that fascist members of Antifa are standing on a bridge and hurling blocks of concrete at little kids.
I don’t think we need to think too much to imagine what happens if they strike and kill one of them.
I remember when cinder blocks were being dropped from overpasses 30 years ago.
Intentionally at little kids whose parents are known Christians?
As has been said before, violence is a spectrum with the left. Bike locks, quickrete milkshakes, mostly peaceful arson, etc. Violence is a toggle switch with the right. The two settings are “Coexist peacefully” and “Shoot to kill.” If that switch gets flipped, it will get ugly real fast.
I don’t think we need to think too much to imagine what happens if they strike and kill one of them.
They get arrested for disorderly conduct and released without bail?

Democrat voter for sure.
Now that the mob got rid of Cuomomafioso, who’s next? One thing we can be sure of, if some other ‘ally’ of the left thinks they will not a target, they’re going to get hit hard by reality really soon. The mob will eat their own until there are none left to devour. Poetic justice?
Anyone who is a threat to ruin Kamala’s chances of becoming (elected) Pres.
So about half the country + the not woke enough among the dems. So probably at least 60% of the country.

I’m thinking just D politicians who are a) relatively popular among other D’s, and b) thinking of a WH run.
Now THAT’s some infrastructure!

The left are waging a campaign of mass extermination against the entire population of the earth. And I truly believe that they truly believe that they have until 2024 at the latest to get it done.
Can you say apocalypse now?
A historian calling a group of people “Indigenous” other than around Olduvai Gorge is laughable.
Thus has it become routine for academics to casually impute any statistical disparity in group representation as evidence of “structural racism”
It still amazes me how the long refuted “disparate impact analysis” got a new life by disguising itself as wokeness. If there’s ever been an example of the endumbening of western culture, this is it. A society that used to understand the basic nuance behind the assertion that “disperate impact does not require discrimination” now ostracizes anybody who espouses the same.
If there is not an earth shattering blowback against wokness within the next year, the West will not survive as what it was. We will slowly devolve into a new dark age which we will never recover from unless/until SMOD arrives.
Turdeau Jr labeling himself and his dad practioners of genocide will get him more votes in clown world.
My friend is not doing well.
So sorry Moj. I wish it were good news for once.
The one who had the vid? Sorry to hear, hope better news is on they way soon.
Sorry to read that. Are you still unable to visit?
I am not.
She took a shower this morning and was exhausted by it. This evening Iasked her if she was doing any better. She said it was “a battle.”
?
I’m sorry. Prayers for her.
Sorry 🙁
I do find it interesting the woke argument that canada/US/UK/Australia/New Zealand are all genocidal states but we must give those same genocidal governments more power over us since they have learned their lesson.
And allow all the rest of the population to come on in.
I can’t even figure out why anyone still wants to come here. Oh yeah, we just disappear them deep into Mexico.
You can call Jan 6th anything you want with the exception of insurrection if you want me to to take you seriously. Fuck off.
I gave up on talk radio a few months ago and only listen to podcasts while driving now. I listened to counter flow this afternoon on the drive. ep 167 and Buck Johnson (What is it with the name Buck and Podcast/talk radio dudes. My podcast name is going to be Buck Diggler) and he had a Law Professor on who supposedly has dug deeply in the stop the steal stuff. I will just say it was intriguing. I am not convinced that the 2020 election was not stolen. To those who don’t believe that search that out and dispute it. It is all there. And no the no courts took the case argument is mute. That one has been proved to be horseshit.
They’re gonna keep talking about an insurrection until they get a real one, good and hard.
