Her name is Karen. She will kill your cat if you cross her.
But, I don’t have a cat…
She will adopt one for you, and then kill it.

Fine. Be that way.

It’s almost as if there is some kind of natural progression that a virus epidemic takes.
Almost like a law from a time far back.
NOT THIS TIME! This new virus is the most cleverest, smartest trickiest virus yet! It takes EXPERTS and heroes, like America’s most beloved doctor Fauci to cure it! And he’s not ready yet! OBEY YOUR NEW EXPERT OVERLORDS! THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL… THE NEW NORMAL!
“Coronavirus reinfection may NOT be so rare: 10% of Marine recruits who quarantined and recovered from COVID-19 at the start of basic training tested positive AGAIN over a MONTH later”
Yup. That’ll happen when your threshold cycling is above 40. They were NOT reinfected.
Recalibrate the bs test and get different bs/meaningless numbers.
“Why ARE coronavirus cases plummeting? New infections have fallen 44% in the US and 30% globally in the past 3 weeks and experts say”
Well, we can’t be having that. Someone invent a new crisis! Hurry, it’s almost too late!
It’s no coincidence that Biden was inaugurated at about that time.
He truly is the cure to all our ills!
Gosh, the bell curve for cases is almost perfectly symmetrical. Unprecedented! And by unprecedented, I mean exactly like the bell curve for previous infections disease outbreaks.
Listen you! This is THE NEW NORMAL!
As I posted a few days ago, my latest analysis of the stats freely available on Alberta Health’s website shows that, between Dec. 1st and Jan. 31st, cases in Alberta have dropped by almost exactly 75%.
Nevertheless, we’re not allowed to meet with other people in our own homes. Because science. Or something.
Changing the protocols for what is a positive test in that time-frame had absolutely no impact on the number of false positives that were being reported as God’s Truth.
Anyone who says different wants to murder your grandmother.
Did test providers actually change it, or are they still using the standard set by the CDC/FDA? WHO guidance is not binding unless you’re a Chinese lapdog.

Speaking of young kids, how are you holding up with teaching your kids and working? Ready to flee California yet?
We put the youngest in private school. Not sure if he’ll ever go back.

I didn’t qualify for the stimulus last year, but I sure will this year.
Are your kids in PS in San Fran? I have a couple friends who are about to lose it up there.
Last I heard, the city was about to sue the teachers.
The city did today announce they are suing the SFUSD. Our kids are in a (new) Catholic school that started full time in person instruction in mid October. As soon as we heard we got them in there, it was where they all went to preschool. Thank god. The homeschool thing was okay, but because both my wife and I work it was exhausting.

“A Catholic priest from Nebraska who boasted about performing an ‘exorcism’ at the US Capitol during the January 6 MAGA riots is facing calls to be defrocked.
Video showed the Rev David Fulton speaking to a filmmaker, Eddie Becker, about how he performed the exorcism on a demon named ‘Baphomet’ who he said is ‘dissolving the country’ as he stood in a sea of President Donald Trump’s supporters.
Fulton, who was wearing a clerical collar, identifies himself as a ‘Roman Catholic’ from Nebraska and holds up a book entitled: ‘Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers in Latin and in English’.”

News flash: it didn’t work.
If i had been there, i would never admit it, because saying it is immediately assumed that you are one of the thieves or rioters.
I’ve been told that such an admission would result in immediate termination from my job.
There are reasons my private life is absolutely off-limits at work. More now than ever.
Bullshit. Everyone knows that a minor exorcism will have no effect on a demon of Baphomet’s rank.
^This. I mean he’s the equivalent of a Cardinal or a Field Marshal.
But not as bad as a Congressman?
Why not?
A lot of people already see the thing at the capitol as a religious occurrence.
visiting Graceland allowed me to grok differing religions more than anything else in my life.

It really hit me when at the end, people were bringing framed photos of deceased loved ones so they could “look” at the graves.

“Prosecutors seek new arrest warrant for Kyle Rittenhouse, say he violated bond
MADISON, Wis. — Prosecutors asked a judge Wednesday for a new arrest warrant for an Illinois teen charged with shooting three people, killing two of them, during an anti-police protest in Wisconsin after he apparently violated his bail conditions.
Kyle Rittenhouse allegedly failed to inform the court of his change of address within 48 hours of moving, Kenosha County prosecutors alleged in a motion filed with Judge Bruce Schroeder. The motion asks Schroeder to issue an arrest warrant and increase Rittenhouse‘s bail by $200,000.
Rittenhouse is charged with multiple counts, including homicide, in connection with the protests in August. Prosecutors allege he had responded to a militia’s call to protect businesses in Kenosha and opened fire on three men, killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding Gaige Grosskreutz. Rittenhouse, who was 17 at the time of the shooting, has maintained he acted in self-defense.”

Yikes.
I will say I only went because my friend really wanted to go. I like Elvis enough, but not take a pilgrimage to his grave.
I can’t think of anyone I’d do that for, honestly.
I went because it was the first (and only) time I had ever driven through Memphis, and didn’t have any reason to think I’d be back through there (and haven’t been). And I was more into irony and kitch back then. I was… unprepared for the earnesty and sincerity of that place.
I visited many years ago with my girlfriend. When we got to the huge painting that the women would rub for good luck, there were a couple of grandmas commenting that the painter really made Elvis look good. My girlfriend said, “Of course he did. He wanted Elvis to buy the painting.” I thought we’d have to run for the exit.

If you’re looking at the exorcising of demons as some sort of hostile act, you might want to think long and hard about which side you’re on.
Is you is or is you ain’t a EXPERT?
Does wearing two masks provide more protection?
It depends, but it’s possible that doubling up could help in some situations.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends wearing a cloth mask made with two or more layers, and ensuring it covers your nose and mouth. The agency says it should fit snugly so there aren’t any gaps at the sides of your face.
Wearing just one mask should be enough for most situations, as long as it fits well and isn’t loose, said Dr. David Hamer, an infectious disease expert at Boston University.
——-
One option in scenarios when you want extra protection is to wear a cloth mask as well as a regular surgical mask, said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious disease expert at the University of California, San Francisco.
Gandhi said that combination — with either mask on top — could help achieve a similar effect as the N95 mask. She recommended the added protection for people who will be indoors in areas where transmission rates are high — which could reflect the circulation of more contagious variants.
——-
With single cloth masks for everyday use, Gandhi noted it’s important that they’re made of tightly woven material and have at least two layers, which creates “an obstacle course” that makes it harder for virus-carrying particles to break through.
SCIENCE, motherfucker!
It depends.
Everything beyond that part of the article is propaganda, and even “it depends” provides much more confidence than is warranted in this situation. “We have no idea” is more accurate.
How DARE you doubt Gandhi?

* Opens Etsy shop selling masks with “random weave pattern” that confuses virus particles.
I wonder what the overlap is between people who think that doubling and tripling the mask is effective and people who think this is what the asteroid belt looks like:
Cool picture, bro.
It’s as effective as the first or 2nd mask.
You have wear three to be safe.

The Constitution IS just a fucking piece of paper, you know
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, told House Democrats on Wednesday that former President Donald Trump’s legal filing responding to the House’s impeachment amounted to “absurd constitutional arguments being offered by the President,” according to a source on the call.
The Maryland Democrat’s comments on a caucus call Wednesday offered a preview of how the House impeachment managers plan to poke holes in the former president’s defense during next week’s trial, while they also make their case that Trump was responsible for inciting the deadly riot at the Capitol on January 6. Trump’s lawyer, meanwhile, said Wednesday that the defense will focus on the “technical” reasons Trump should not be convicted and will avoid Trump’s false claims of widespread election fraud.
Constitution, schmonstitution. The mob wants blood, and blood they shall have.
The Constitution is nothing but a refuge for scoundrels and cads.
I caught on one news report a beautiful slip from Raskin (or someone) that Trump’s impeachment was for the terrible events of Jan 6 and everything he did since he assumed office.
Mad Maxine strikes again.
“What’s so interesting about all of this is they tried to make themselves the victim when indeed they are following the president of the United States of America who had advance planning about the invasion that took place in our Capitol. Even there’s information that some of the planning came out of individuals working in this campaign. As a matter of fact, he absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder because of the lives that were lost with this invasion, with this insurrection.” …
When he rallied, he said go to the Capitol, fight hard. This is take back your country. So if that’s not inciting the kind of violence that we witnessed, I don’t know what is.”
I just can’t even with these unserious people anymore.
I’d have the GOP go after her in the Tit for Tat punishment over Omar. Remove Maxine from all comittee assignments.

If you think he’s guilty of murder, charge him in a court of law, where he gets due process, can cross examine witnesses and can exercise his right to evidence discovery. I mean, if I thought the president was a cold-blooded murderer, I sure as hell wouldn’t be satisfied with him not being able to be president again.
It’s almost as if his accusers have ulterior motives for wanting to claim his guilt without giving him a fair trial.
They want to keep Trump in the news. It’s all they have.
It’s not like it would be that difficult to hold the trial, either. The alleged crime occurred in the District of Columbia, where people vote only slightly less one-sided than in one of Robert Mugabe’s “elections”.
This from the bitch who exhorted mobs to seek out and attack Trump staffers wherever they are in public? HAHAHAHA

Speech First, a legal group that tackles campus speech issues, filed a lawsuit against the University of Illinois in May 2019 for upholding policies they claim were prejudiced against students with unpopular beliefs. Shortly before the Illinois Supreme Court was set to review the case, the university settled and agreed to amend or remove the disputed policies.
According to a copy of the settlement memorandum obtained by The Daily Wire, the university agreed to nix a policy that required administrative approval for students to post flyers and promotional material that discuss politics around campus. By settling, the university agreed it cannot reinstate the provision at a future date.
Delicious. When they settle a 1A case like this it means they are afraid of a sweeping ruling.
^^This!!
It’s a bid to try to not make other universities’ speech policies fall like dominoes. They’re falling on the sword.

Now we’re getting somewhere
Canada’s government designated the Proud Boys and 12 other extremist groups as terrorist entities on Wednesday, placing the groups in the same list alongside the Islamic State and Al-Qaida.
“Based on their actions, each group meets the legal threshold” for the criminal designation, Public Safety Canada said as it announced the move. The agency cited “reasonable grounds to believe that an entity has knowingly participated in or facilitated a terrorist activity,” or has acted on behalf of or in association with such a terrorist entity.
The agency describes the Proud Boys as “a neo-fascist organization that engages in political violence” and whose members “espouse misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, and/or white supremacist ideologies and associate with white supremacist groups.”
Public Safety Canada also notes the group’s prominent role in last month’s attack in Washington: “On January 6, 2021, the Proud Boys played a pivotal role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Leaders of the group planned their participation by setting out objectives, issuing instructions, and directing members during the insurrection.”
That’ll teach ’em.
“The agency describes the Proud Boys as “a neo-fascist organization that engages in political violence” and whose members “espouse misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, and/or white supremacist ideologies and associate with white supremacist groups.”
Did they provide some examples of this terrorist like activity? Street fighting with antifa?
Of course not. My Sacred Government simply knows these things to be true!

Based Rand Paul.
During Paul’s time to question Cardona, the Kentucky Republican focused on Cardona and the Biden administration’s stance on transgender athletes playing school sports. Paul pressed Cardona on his view of transgender athletes, asking him specifically if he thinks a boy should be able to compete against a girl on the same level.
“If you’re confirmed, will you enforce that Office of Civil Rights opinion?” Paul asked.
“I understand that there are a lot of concerns about that. If confirmed, it’s my responsibility and my privilege to make sure that we’re following civil rights of all students, and that includes activities that they may engage in high school or athletics,” Cardona responded.
“What do you think in general of boys running in girls’ track meets like they’ve been doing in Connecticut?” — “Do you worry about having boys run in girls’ track meets?,” Paul pressed.
“I think it’s appropriate – I think it’s the legal responsibility for schools to provide opportunities for students to participate in activities and this includes students who are transgender,” Cardona replied.
“So you don’t have a problem then, of boys running in the girls’ track meets, swimming meets, you name it, you’re ok then with boys competing with girls?,” Paul continued to ask.
“Respectfully, senator, I believe I answered the question,” Cardona replied. “I think the fact that you seem to be afraid to answer the question, or you basically do answer the question by saying it’s ok without saying it’s ok, really is a statement to real problem we have and a disconnect between middle America and what most Americans actually believe,” Paul said.
“Who are these people that think it’s okay? From what planet are you from?,” Paul said to Cardona.
“From what planet are you from?,” Paul said to Cardona.”
Planet progtard of course.
I was more concerned with using “from” twice in that question.
Rand should have gone to yes or no questions, not open-ended questions.
RP: Do you think the federal government should require that biological males who identify as female participate in girls’ sports?
SC (Swamp Creature): blah blah blah
RO: Its a yes or no question. Pls. answer yes or no.
SC: blah blah blah.
RP: I will take that as a yes, you believe the federal government should require that biological males who identify as female participate in girls’ sports, unless you give a clear “no”.
SC: blah blah blah
RP: Yes it is, then.
I can say positively that only 1 person I’ve ever voted for has won office, and boy am I glad that person is Rand. He’s not perfect, but what the fuck ever. He’s better than good on almost anything.
I’d say he should spend the next 2 years gearing up for a run, but I think we all know deep down that he’ll never be nominated.

Polling is the only mass opinion tool less trustworthy than the electoral system.
Most voters said they prioritized battling the coronavirus over reopening the economy, even as the president put a firm emphasis on the latter.
So the media and educational establishments scored a win. Overreaction to the virus coupled with ignorance about how the economy is the foundation of society.
Nobody needs to eat.
If you believe that poll, ya looks like it. Now we have states opening back up when every measure they have used to shut down and mask up is worse now than when they closed up. You can’t convince me this was not all political. The reaction now proves it. TMITE I am a bit rage filled about all this shit.
I think calling it political misses the mark a bit, assuming by politics you mean something like policy preferences or party loyalty.
They want to rule you. Power is the goal. Politics is just a tool to get power.
*deletes long winded wall of text* Perhaps, but the country was played. Not sure how the rest of the world works into this. Seems most of the rest is opening mainly because of riots and people telling the Gov to fuck off. Then we have Australia. Bat. Shit. Crazy.
It would not shock me to find out that they’ve been war gaming this shit for 40 years. I’m guessing that the UN and NATO and various NGOs and non-profits have been discussing, modeling, and focus grouping the various possibilities in anticipation of the opportunity to be able to implement these restrictions when the next pandemic hit. It’s not some conspiracy in the sense of all of the world’s leaders working together. It’s a conspiracy in the sense of a whole bunch of people behind the scenes putting together various global response packages, customizing them to the countries in question, and presenting the response packages to the leadership when the opportunity arose. That some of the American politicians could connect 2 and 2 and use it to their political advantage was a matter of luck, institutional control, a visceral hatred of OMB, and a bit of on the fly planning.
I remember hearing early this response was discussed under the W’s administration but then never heard about it again so I would not be surprised if you are right.
That some of the American politicians could connect 2 and 2 and use it to their political advantage was a matter of luck, institutional control, a visceral hatred of OMB, and a bit of on the fly planning.
Ya, there is that, and now that OMB is out we can just reel it back in rather than the ten months ago when it should have been reeled in especially when it became well known to anyone with a brain the testing and death count was BS and that just makes it, and the people involved fucking evil. We will be reading about the detrimental effects of this nonsense for decades.

It is alleged that AOC was not inside the Capitol building during the “riot”, and therefore, her story could not possibly be true.
If she’s contesting the allegation, logically, she’d say something like “Yes I was!!!!”.
Right????
Her response: “This is the latest manipulative take on the right,” she wrote. “They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex. We were all on the Capitol complex”
I mean really, all of DC was under attack.
Our entire “democracy”, in fact. So it doesn’t really matter where you were. Kind of like David Hogg and Parkland.
In a way, didn’t we all survive the Parkland shooting?
If she was in her office, she was in the Cannon building.
If she was in Katie Porter’s office, she was in the Longworth building.
If she was in her office and moved to Porter’s office, then she left a building with no rioters to go to a building also without rioters. All while reliving her detail-less sexual assault because people she didn’t like were in a third building she wasn’t in.
So clearly, it was an assassination attempt.
Ted Cruz, the zodiac killer, was hiding in the bushes. Or cherry blossoms. Whatever.
They nearly meme’d her to death!
*pictures “rioters” crowding into the tram car to assault Rayburn*
She does know a bit about “manipulative takes” so………
They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex.
Capitol complex? Is she accounting all of the buildings connected by tunnels to the Capitol as part of the Capitol?
Her whole story is certainly a case study on how consuming fear-mongering media made her hysterical, if nothing else.
I’d be a little sympathetic, but that cunte had zero sympathy for anyone during all the BLM riots, so fuck her.
This is projection of the rankest kind.
They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex.
“They” are correctly pointing out that AOC was in a building that was NOT the capitol, but some other building. She is purposefully obfuscating the layout of the capitol complex to make it seem as if she were in the capitol.
Yet, “they” are the ones manipulating the layout of the complex.
Fuck you, bitch.
Her response: “This is the latest manipulative take on the right,” she wrote. “They are manipulating the fact that most people don’t know the layout the Capitol complex. We were all on the Capitol complex”
It was an anti-government insurrection. I’m the government!
The Capitol Complex. Already the story begins to crumble.
And the media story will be “Republicans Pounce”, not “AOC Full of It”.
Exposing my poorly designed lie is manipulative.
I DEMAND MY RESPECT AS A VICTIM YOU FUCKING TEA BAGGERS!!!
AOC and Emma Sulkowicz mattress time would be hawt.
“We were all in the general vicinity” doesn’t seem to show any understanding of the layout, either.
America is the Capitol complex.

In appearances on NBC’s Today and ABC’s Good Morning America on Wednesday morning – and again at a White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing – Fauci implored people to limit their gatherings to household members only.
“You don’t want parties with people that you haven’t had much contact with, you just don’t know if they’re infected,” he told Good Morning America. “So as difficult as that is, at least this time around, just lay low and cool it.”
——-
“Every time we do have something like this, there always is a spike,” he said, adding that “now is not the time” for mixed-household gatherings.
Sooper spreddurz!
If only people would take this seriously.
“now is not the time” for mixed-household gatherings.
So Fauci is coming out as against miscegenation?
“now is not the time” for mixed-household gatherings
So that tells me he was either on his way from, or on his way to, such a gathering.
So the Super Bowl will be a Super Spreader? I assume everyone will be dead by dawn.
You mean like Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Halloween, the World Series, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day?
Plus birthdays, weddings, funerals, graduations, births, sickness, and every other thing that draws humans together for the last year?
Like that “at this this time around”?
Fuck you.
“You don’t want parties with people that you haven’t had much contact with, you just don’t know if they’re infected,” he told Good Morning America. “So as difficult as that is, at least this time around, just lay low and cool it.”

Anyone have tips on refinancing? I closed on my place May 1st last year. Started getting mailers later in the summer. Now I get several in the mail every day – pretty much from all the same places too.
Are there any recommendations on timing relative to the original purchase date – is there any way that starting this process – sticking with my current bank Navy Fed if I do anything – is gonna hurt me?
I thought I had a good rate last year, but I’m getting mailers for 2+ pts below what I locked in – admittedly probably a lot of small print involved – but presumably even a point off with my current bank would be a good deal.
Would i have to pay for all the closing costs/etc again?
Yeah, you’re going to have to pay all of the fees again.
Ok. I got lucky with the seller paying last year. Maybe I’ll wait a little longer.
Some lenders are giving credits towards closing costs. Shop around.
For what could hurt you: The credit checks will show up on your credit report. I don’t remember if/how that affects credit score (negative I think?). If your lender requires an appraisal and your home value is now below the loan-to-value magic ratio, you will have to get PMI during your refinance. I’m not sure what happens if you bail on the process and somehow your current lender finds out about the appraisal. Could they require PMI after the fact? I have no idea, maybe your current mortgage documents would say. If the appraisal shows you are underwater, I expect the new lender won’t lend. I have no idea what would happen with your current lender, assuming the lender finds out (check your current mortgage documents).
Also beware of loan maturity date changes. I stayed with a 30 year mortgage with each refinance since I wanted to lower my monthly payment. It made no sense to pay off the house faster in this climate. So each time I refinanced, my loan maturity date moved out.
I’ve refinanced my mortgage three times.
First was smooth and no problems.
The second time I had to get PMI because my home value had dropped enough during the housing crash in the area that I fell below the magic ratio. I went through with the refinance because even with PMI refinancing would lower my monthly payment.
The third time was not as smooth as it should have been. The closing company was supposed to pay my property taxes as the taxes were due soon after closing. The closing company’s first check got lost in the mail, and the second check was for the wrong amount.
I’m getting mailers for 2+ pts below what I locked in
Rates haven’t come down that much since a year ago. That’s almost certainly a rate you can buy down to with points. Honestly, I doubt its worth it refinance now. Probably the safest thing to do is ask Navy Federal informally what kind of rate you could get today, no points, and what their deal is generally on costs.
Thanks. I figure with a bank like them and my background I could get a reasonable honest discussion over the phone.
I just did a refi at 2.875% with no fees and no appraisal. Could’ve gotten a better rate but there would have been at least a couple grand of closing costs.
We locked in at 3.2 in 2017 and have kicked around the idea but have decided that it isnt worth it. Forecast for the area is in the booming trend and we are looking to dip out in 5-10 to large amount of acreage.
Yeah…that’s my mid-long term goal as well. Wasn’t sure how this sort of paperwork affects other near-term goals/purchases/sales/etc.
Maybe you should have studied something useful, like double entry bookkeeping
There’s a broad consensus that student debt has reached crisis proportions in this country. In 2012, when Joe Biden was Vice President, student debt surpassed $1 trillion dollars. If President Biden doesn’t do something, student debt will surpass $2 trillion on his watch.
——-
The fact is, cancelling all student debt would help all of us—even people like me who long ago paid off their student loans.
There’s an abundance of research showing how student loans are stifling a generation and the hurting economy writ large. It hampers home ownership and dampens entrepreneurialism. Cancelling all student debt would provide an economic boost of up to $108 billion a year and create millions of jobs. It makes sense: monthly debt payments would be freed up to be spent on other things. Rather than enriching a small handful of student loan servicing corporations, money would be spent on daily needs, from rent to groceries to supporting the small businesses negatively affected by COVID.
Blah blah blah not fair. Magic pixie dust will solve this.
Sugarfree posted this in April, 2019. I believe it to be apropos for the above posting:
South Park did it.
Well, the loans are already magic pixie dust. There’s nothing backing those loans except the Federal government. Why not cancel them? Oh sure, the already astronomical cost of education will only go up even more, but hey it’s worked so well for healthcare. Lots of people will be pissed off, but they are responsible people who aren’t paying their fair share somehow anyway. This kakistocracy still has some vestiges of competence, stamp them out!

I know people can change, but I don’t think that people who have already proven to be poor at financial management are going to be at the top of the list of people who will make good home-buyers and successful entrepreneurs.

So what did notaries ever do that you now have to get fingerprinted and jump through a bunch more hoops just to renew your rubber stamp?
Someone notarized the wrong thing.
Election results?
F*cked if I know.
No idea. I’m shocked at the number of notaries who don’t require that you sign right in front of them, though.
At my previous job, 20+ years ago, I had a co-worker who treated notarizing like one of the sacraments. She’d make her boss’s boss raise his right hand and swear he actually was who he claimed to be.
A notary is a government official. Still, I wonder if governor, judges, legislators have to get fingerprinted? I was a notary for twenty years and biggest myth was that a notary signature somehow validated the truth of whatever was being asserted in the document. We validated that the person signing the document was who he said he was, not that “I swear I saw a sasquatch roaming around the campground last night and he said his name was Daryl.”
Canceling all college debt would do nothing of substance. That would merely be ineffectual tinkering around the edges.
Those people need to come to grips with the certain and irrefutable knowledge they have been swindled. Only then will reform be a possibility.
Canceling all college debt would do nothing of substance
It’d piss off a whole bunch of people who paid their debt off or didn’t take on debt.
I am “helping” my grand daughters with their debt. I believe it’s the right thing to do, they have all worked hard and if I can lighten their load I have that obligation. Missus F and I both got out of school with zero debt but it was a different time. I got my son through with no debt, he worked a lot and I was able to squeeze my budget for a few years.
Now it appears kids don’t worry so much until the day of reckoning comes. It won’t be the government that pays, the taxpayers are on the hook for that 1.7 T.
There is something about going to a bar…sitting at it….and dealing with the local Okies. Ive come to this bar for over 10 years and while I don’t get a Norm! Everybody knows my name.
There is a bar in central PA that I stop in when I’m in the area, which is maybe a couple of times over the summer.
A few of the regulars remember me.

They can just keep devaluing them (essentially, inflating them) until they’re worthless. Just like Air Miles.
God, I *hate* Air Miles.
So what you’re saying is, is they need another bail-out?

I can only laugh at that.
Isn’t it implying that, since man NOT polluting made things “worse”, that man polluting doesn’t explicitly make things “worse”?
I’m not a believer in catastrophic man-made climate change but that’s not how it works. You’re looking for gradual changes over decades.

There’s something about Ocasio-Cortez that bothers me a lot. We are almost the same age (she’s four years younger than me) and she represents the worst aspects of my generation. The belief in their own righteousness while taking pride in the fact that they don’t have the intellect nor the ability to actually understand their opponents . And when they are confronted with something or by someone outside their myopic worldview, they are suddenly the victim.
But what bothers me the most is that she portrays herself as a friend of the working class when in reality she is nothing more than a privilege elite who has no problem using the Bronx working class as a fucking stepping stone to her long term aspirations of being a politician.
She’s the Jennifer Lopez of politicians.
No. Her ass is flat.
OK, besides the ass thing.
Loretta Sanchez > AOC
^^. She’s gonna make us wish we kept the boomers in office.
Yeah all this whining about Marjory and this AOC chick is more insane.
She has as much right to represent her constituents as Greene does. If those constituents put up with her, shame on them. If she was a man, or looked like a dumpy hausfrau, no one would pay her the slightest attention.
Yeah but the more realistic outcome is making sure she gets no committees.
Uh, Bella Abzug would beg to differ, were she still sporting jaunty hats.
“This isn’t a fact check at all. Your arrows aren’t accurate. They lie about where the mob stormed & place them further away than it was.
You also fail to the convey *multiple* areas people were trying to storm. It wasn’t 1. You also failed to show tunnels. Poor job all around.”
https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1357037568966217728
The arrows aren’t showing where the “mob” was. They are showing where the buildings are.
Who cares about the tunnels? The “mob” never used them, and was never in any of the office buildings.
Disingenuous cunte is disingenuous.
She could have been killed.
She also could have won the lottery, been struck by lightning, or fallen off the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Wait, she says the rioters were planting bombs around her office? Did I miss a news report on these bombs?
I heard there were pipe bombs planted close to both the RNC and DNC offices in DC so ya, she was in DC so she survived a bomb planting by her office.
They were not in the capitol though. They were planted also before the riots.
Not clear to me if they were really designed to go off or not. We only get information that helps cow the public.
C’mon man. Believe all victims.
Y’alls social credit scores is going down.

I meant social credit score of course. The one you don’t know about yet.
My financial score is actually over 800 now, when it was 595 8 years ago. Yikes, they’ll let me buy anything!
I think he meant social credit too.

No offense intended, I have no idea who that is.
She did an interesting episode of Finding Your Roots. I thought she was pretty cool as she appeared in the episode. I’m sure I ran into her in high school at some point, out and about in suburban CT.
(Michael Moore also appears in the same episode LOL)
I ran into her in a club in NYC. She was higher than giraffe pussy.
