Colorado have taken a commanding lead over the Minnesota WIIIIIIILLLLDDDD. Anaheim and Vegas will play a pivotal game in their series tonight, and Buffalo will try to even up their series against Montreal tonight as well. I’ll note that the Lakers got swept in their series and we will not have to suffer any more Lebron this season. The Astros continue to suck ass. And Hull have knocked Millwall out of the Championship playoff, which is a bit of a bummer. And that’s it for sports.
I’m shocked! I wonder how much of that money came from US taxpayers. And I wonder how much more was stolen by others there.
Good luck with that. On a positive note, it looks like they at least ran the petition through spellcheck this time around.
I wonder what kind of plea deal she’ll get. Probably a lot better one than a normal person would have received.
You gotta spend money to make money. I’m just kidding. This is completely retarded yet not the least bit surprising.
It’s about freaking time. Have fun spending money on your own defense for a change.
He was just about to turn his life around, I bet. Do the dumbasses running these places not have a clue what “public safety” is and how to more easily ensure it? Because there ain’t no way in hell this psycho should have been out on parole.
They can always just go home. Sorry, but DACA isn’t really legal and it shouldn’t exist in the first place. You can’t eviscerate our entire immigration system with an EO. They need to just go home.
Have fun trying to draw those maps, champ. You’ve cut up your own states about as much as possible. I wish you luck figuring this one out.
The hypocrisy is astounding. They rigged the system to keep opponents out for years and now that it might backfire they are gonna undo it. As an aside, I wonder how much this will change the national party tally, where Dems have had a distinct advantage for more than a decade now by completely locking Republicans out of several ballots.
This is just lovely. I’m sure taxpayers will be on the hook and the left will consider this a win for pedophile rapist trans rights.
Here’s a lively tune. Their catalog was full of them. And here’s an underrated one. From an underrated film. Enjoy them both.

From the dedthread, Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is indeed bad, but the cold brew is shockingly good
They have a solid iced tea, too
That solid Ice Tea was da bomb when you could pay $1 for a large. Now it costs close to $5. That is criminal.
Dunkin’ Donuts coffee is bad now?
I know, I know, the state will never be perfect so we shouldn’t execute anybody.
The deadly mistakes by the State seem to mostly go the other way. Releasing obviously violent monsters again and again until they throw someone on train tracks or stab them in the neck, or commit some other subhuman act of unprovoked violence.
That’s my tax dollars.
One of my family members tried one of the last death penalty cases in NJ. It ended with a conviction, but It was commuted when NJ ditched the death penalty.
YOUR tax dollars, comrade?
You misunderstand, or perhaps understate, the problem.
It’s not that the State will never be perfect. It’s that the State will never even reach a level of basic competence at anything other than grifting and extortion.
I’m all for the execution of violent predators, but it’s going to need to be done in the private domain.
^This.
The state should not have the power to execute, but if a private citizen decides someone needs killing they should be able to argue that as a defense to murder.
Lynchings?
Can a government that doesn’t have a level of basic competence at anything other than grifting and extortion even justifiably impose a prison sentence or a fine?
Agree here. The state is not and can not be a moral agent – since it has no agency.
justifiably impose a prison sentence or a fine
The most basic part of the law is a tort is it not? All criminal law is based on violating the commands of the sovereign.
The problem is with the conceit of sovereignty.
Posing this question kind of answers it, don’t you think?
The State can’t justifiably do anything, even exist.
I wondered if you were going full anarchist, ES.
A lynching is when a group of people mete out punishment based on what they’ve been told, which may or may not be accurate.
A jury verdict is when a group of people tell others to mete out punishments based on a carefully curated information repository which may or may not be accurate but will always be incomplete.
Not Adahn:
I’ll again bring up outlawing as a potential punishment for repeat offenders.
Mr Ilium – These repeat offenders already act in a manner consistant with dealing with matters exclusively outside the law. Formalizing it would not do much to them, as the people most liekly to end them are other repeat offenders.
UCS:
Make part of the outlawing process full face tattoos and full sleeves proclaiming their status. I’m sure there’s plenty of sociopaths who will remove them for us.
I *am* full anarchist, RC.
That doesn’t keep me from accepting that perfection is not for us mortals. But I try to keep my eye on the prize.
NA, aren’t lynchings also based on information which is always incomplete?
For that matter, aren’t all decisions made based on incomplete information?
ES, I guess had forgotten that.
Utopia awaits!
A lynch mob is acting under the influence of passion, a jury is presumably acting under the influence of reason. There is a colorable difference.
The bigger problem is the incentive (and lack of disincentive) for the prosecution to lie and cheat in getting a guilty verdict. Then we have the matter that the punishment is almost never restorative (as a tort would require).
Utopia awaits!
The problem with assuming 100% cooperative human behavior is a lot like the problem with assuming perfectability through coercion.
R. C. Dean: yes, nobody has perfect information. However, trusting a government functionary to decide what information is relevant, what is “unnecessarily prejudicial” even if relevant and accurate or on the flip side which defenses may be presented (or even if a defense may be presented at all!) runs into the same problem: how do you endure your judge is actually any better than your typical lynch mob attendee?
From harm reduction standpoint, when lynch mobs get things wrong, they are limited in the number and geographic area of victims. Judges/prosecutors can fuck over people by the thousands.
I trust a jury of 12 over any ad hoc “regulators.”
There is no perfect recounting of any action, and that goes doubly for crime. But it is imperative to give the accused voice in this, and the jury system is the least fucked up method of achieving this. Anything else is just tyranny of the mob, which is no better than any other tyranny. A bunch of people who will do everything to get out of jury duty give me less confidence than a back alley execution by the NKVD.
I was initially thinking less “lynch mob” and more Gary Plauche/Marvin Hemeyer.
HOWEVER, there’s not reason it wouldn’t apply to lynch mobs. And remember, I said that said lynchers would have the ability to use “needed killing “as a defense, not as an immunity. If it turns out that they were wrong or couldn’t prove their target actually deserved death they’d still be on the hook.
What if a couple of guys are patrolling the streets of Chicago in the middle of a blizzard and decide someone needs reminding that Chicago is MAGA Country?
For that matter, aren’t all decisions made based on incomplete information?
Go is a game of complete information.
A bigot can bomb or shoot up a synagogue. To have a Shoah/lKilling Fields/Cultural Revolution you need trains, camps and a government infrastructure backing you up.
It’s funny – I thought that, “…perfection is not for us mortals,” was a fairly unambiguous denial of utopainism.
For me, the watching Paradise Lost – about the West Memphis 3 – is what made me change my mind about the death penalty.
I was living in Memphis when the murders occurred and I was 100% convinced of their guilt. The media, the local gossip and the cops were all telling me it was a clear cut case of murder.
Watching those documentaries made me sick to see how silly the “evidence” was. And how easily they were rail roaded.
I don’t trust the govt to try these cases anymore.
They probably aren’t competent to sentence people to life sentences either, but at least those can be reversed if they can be shown to be bad verdicts.
Watching Paradise Lost was a profound experience.
These are the cases that have me on the fence on the death penalty. I wish women prisoners would at least step up with prison justice like the male prisoners do.
Sometimes they do.
“What’s really hood, bitch?!?!?”
LOL, still one of my very favourite sketches.
Here’s hoping SCOTUS gives them the usual election dispute runaround. Take the case, make them brief standing (honestly, what material harm does the state government suffer based on how the Congressional delegation is elected?), then do nothing until after the election and then declare the whole thing moot.
The decision was based on the Dems violating the VA constitution, so I don’t even see where there’s a federal issue for SCOTUS to get involved.
FYTW
Article Eleventy-One, section 2
Although, they should have sought out a citizen class action against the state which would have given them standing IMO
The intent is to get another fake reason to tell team blue idiots that the SCOTUS is corrupt and partisan, so they cheer on the tyrannical effort to corrupt it in a future team blue is working hard to achieve. Have no doubt that as their efforts to steal this midterm implodes, and then 2028 looks impossible for them, they will resort to violence to make sure we understand they would rather burn it all down and rule over the ashes than otherwise.
Because this way they can frame it as a federal issue in the midterm elections.

You can have a robust defense or a massive welfare system. Not both. The Euros made that choice long ago…
There’s also the third choice that America made: robust defense AND a massive welfare system AND unsustainable debt.
I hate the whole primary election system. Parties should choose candidates on their own goddam dime and there should only be a general election. Primaries cater to the fucking worst.
but then you never get anything but establishment approved candidates. No outsiders ever.
I mean we don’t have primaries in Europe, though I doubt much would improve if we had
Instead of establishment approved we get lunatic fringe approved. I don’t see that as better.
lunatic fringe approved breaks the usual flow sometimes, this may or may not be good
People can run as independents outside the party apparatus.
Parties shoold choose their own candidates and jungle primaries were CA’s way of locking out anybody without a (D) beside their name.
They should pick these candidates through THUNDERDOME!
The “lunatic fringe” kept HRC out of the white house, so, no, I don’t have any issue with them.
And, while not here, I predicted this would come back and bite the Dems in the ass 10 years ago. When you start worrying about gaming the system more than good play and delivering on promises, you have already lost, it is just a matter of when.
Yep. I really want to know why I’m paying for two ostensibly private parties to select their candidates.
You’re also paying to enable those two private parties to block other parties from being on the ballot.

Trump needs to leave the Iran war to others, declare we’ve met our goals of eliminating their nuke capabilities and killed a bunch of psychopathic leaders and get back on domestic issues or it’s gonna be a bloodbath for team red no matter what state maps are.
^This. Blow up some more shit for a couple of days, declare victory and focus on the mid-terms.
The real war on Iran right now is economic, which can easily go on in the background while Trump twixxes about domestic shit.
The stock market is going great. The jobs reports (for what they are worth) are coming in good. Inflation is survivable bad. Gas prices are still not at their recent peak. Without the DemOp Media following marching orders, I don’t know that anyone would really be worried about the economy. I mean, sure, we’re on a trajectory leading to the destruction of the dollar, the economy, and society, but that’s just business as usual and nobody votes on that.
The jobs reports (for what they are worth)
Pretty worthless when you look at the labor force participation rate.
Other than gas prices, I don’t thin Iran makes a bit of difference to the masses, even the motivated in the midterms.
Gas prices, on the other hand do make a huge difference.
Yup. Donald needs to get on that whatever it takes or the last two years of his term will be a nightmare and maybe even cut short. And the Dems will punish the country hard in every way they can think of.
The stock market is going great. The jobs reports (for what they are worth) are coming in good. Inflation is survivable bad. Gas prices are still not at their recent peak.
I think this is a pollyannaish view of the economy. Aside from Sam’s Club, every gas station was $3.99 or $4.09 on the way home last night, which is the highest I’ve seen it outside of the state of California.
Stock market’s up, sure. It has been detethered from the general economic health for a while now.
Jobs reports haven’t been reliable since ‘08 and likely well before then.
The cumulative effect of all the inflation (including the pre-24 inflation) is really catching up with the average person.
Regardless of what the left is saying, the perception of the average guy in this deep red area is that Trump followed his big Israel bucks and threw his base under the bus to start another Middle East adventure. Most of us around here aren’t plugged into the left’s media apparatus, but the grocery store and the gas station are crazy expensive now, and it has become impossible to ignore.
I was resistant to that take for awhile but now I’m not so sure.
Some of the Right media’s defense of this shit are getting a bit ridiculous. They really believe that Iran was gonna launch nukes any day now. I don’t want them to get nukes either but I am extremely doubtful the wackjobs there are that suicidal.
cumulative effect of all the inflation
Hey, didn’t we export all of that via QE and being the global reserve currency?
It is just as likely we’ll be looking at President Hakeem after two impeachments next year. Don’t think that is not the plan.
But yes, this is getting nuts. The Dems are absolutely desperate and it shows. I don’t care if the GOP “started it” but they only did so because of all the other ramping cheating in Blue states.
The democrats started this more than 2 decades ago. I live in a state that has 42% of the population being conservatives/republicans, and we have ZERO – read that again – ZERO congressional representations for those people because they rigged our congressional breakdown to make it impossible for anyone but a democrat to win more than 12 years ago. The entire NE is like that.
Fuck them.
Jefferies is about the dumbest mf I’ve seen at such a high post in the party.
It’s almost like rank stupidity is a pre-requisite.
Well now they’ve done it. The Dems are mad and they’re taking the gloves off.
Well, the VA congress backed down from packing the state supreme court.

Today in financial literacy. One of acquaintances from my train commute is looking to buy a new car. She wants a convertible. That likely means German as there aren’t many other options (Mustang or Miata, possibly something else I’m not thinking about).
The dealbreaker for her is the price of the required premium gasoline. Another acquaintance and I were a bit incredulous that she has no problem swallowing the purchase of an expensive automobile with complex repair and maintenance requirements, but premium gasoline is a bridge too far.
She can always go British and buy a Land Rover Evoque convertible.
I saw one the other day for the first time and thought it was the most absurd thing I’ve seen on the road since the PT Cruiser convertible was discontinued. An absolute abomination.

The little service light says 10K oil changes are fine!
Speaking of maintenance, my car takes 245/35 19″. Inflation is killing my budget. And oddly enough the original yokos are one of the cheaper options! The Michelin Pilots (that were great on my Z3) are up over $400/ea.
Given full synthetic blends, moderate climate, and not using the vehicle for towing, 10k+ for oil changes is not a problem.
I get it, but around here you tend to both short trip and have high idle times. Both lead to more moisture and fuel in the oil than I’d prefer.
I mean, it was a much smaller difference when there was only a 10 cent difference between the grades.

Are the beturbaned people gypsies? And are stick vendors still a thing?
I see boaters, homburgs, fedoras (including one particularly flamboyant straw variant) flat caps and what I think of as “traditional Eastern European Men’s Hat.” Quite a bit of variety in the women’s hats. And there seems to be mixing among different wealth levels.
most neighborhoods were quite socioeconomically mixes.
beturbaned – don’t know who you mean
stick vendors – those were just peasants. you are no longer allowed with animal drawn wagons on public roads.
Stick vendor: I noticed that guy at 0:12 had a cargo of poles all about the same diameter and length. Interestingly, they seem to be what the peasant women are using in the 1926 clip to carry their baskets.
On closer look, the women at 0:37 aren’t actually wearing turbans, and they all have brooms? They’re a cleaning crew taking a break?
Lots of people look like basic-bitch 1930s euros, and the rest look like they’re from a specific place.

Trump’s Battleship Will Be Nuclear Powered, Navy Says
https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trumps-battleship-will-be-nuclear-powered-navy-says-2e360ea9?st=oEki9h&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
The possibilities for graft and cost overruns abound! You wouldn’t want to have boats in place that can handle the current situation in Hormuz. Instead this seems like a way better idea.
The energy requirements for the various energy weapons it is intended to carry made that a must have,,, Lasers and microwave weapons suck up juice.
Writing as a former surface nuke, the Navy is actually correct to do this from a strategic standpoint.
For ships, particularly noisy ones with a huge radar cross section, speed is life. If memory serves, the amount of fuel consumption is proportional to the cube of the speed. In other words, a huge non-nuclear ship traveling at high speeds much of the time, will rapidly run through its fuel reserves. It will have to be refueled at sea every few days. This requires sailing in a straight line at a steady speed while the refueling takes place.
Basically, a battleship that isn’t nuclear powered has a low chance of survival in a contested naval fight.
I suspect that this isn’t intended as a crazy throwback to an anachronistic age, but is prompted by the rise of drone warfare. I suspect that the planners think the sun is starting to sink for the day of the air-craft carrier.
I’ll buy it.
But similar to drones versus expensive F-35s – is this best allocation of finite resources to the Navy?
This thing will still be on the drawing board when Trump leaves office, and then it will die.
That would have been the case 3 or so years ago. Now the DOW has changed the whole procurement testing and process for this stuff. We have already, in just this year, successfully tested a whole slew of lasers ranging from low end 30KW all the way to 150KW ones able to burn ballistic missiles sensor packages and score a kill. Not in labs, but at sea. They have a 300KW one slewed for testing this November. The same applies to a range of other energy weapons (microwave and such) to burn down drone swarms. This stuff is being prioritized to solve the magazine dept problem and to make it financially viable to counter cheap drones with something other than a $3 million missile. They are putting the HELIOS lasers on the Burkes and on our carriers. This battleship will field the 150KW at a minimum, and the 300KW one more likely, in quad configuration, and with a nuclear energy supply be able to have a firing rate that basically gives it an unlimited magazine to shoot down ballistic missiles. Add to that the fact the planform will easily accommodate from 24 to 48 of our long range hypersonics, which have also made massive leaps in this year when the military no longer was focused on DEI shit but on lethality, and these battleships will provide massive area defense/offense capabilities making their cost less than a comparable 6-8 Burke block 3 ships (which we right now lack the capability to produce fast enough). And wait until they can hook these battleships up with large drones armed with defense lasers and hypersonic strike missiles to upgrade the strike factor by multiples.
The people that don’t want this battleship are still stuck in the old days. And no, carriers will not go away either because we need platforms that we can use to strike anywhere and everywhere. And the NATO partners capriciously screwing us over to please the hordes of goat fucking barbarians they have imported and not letting us use our bases (we pay for them) and their airspace, have made that blatantly obvious.
It’s really sad to see the signs of the enshittification of Massachusetts. I used to ride my bike by that spot on my morning commute daily for something like five years.

So far the analysis is sober and largely persuasive. Then the paper takes a turn. If pair bonding can’t be restored, the authors argue, the answer is to help women have children without men. Governments should “consider experiments” offering single women enough money and support to make solo motherhood appealing, with “24/7 nearby childcare.”

The problem is that fewer men are becoming someone with whom a woman would want to build a family.
Men are always the problem
People had large families during the Great Depression.
Ban all forms of entertainment not available in 1925?
People had large families when agriculture was the primary job for most people.
They also had large families when there was no safety net like Social Security for old people. You used to have to be nice to your kids so that they would take care of you when you were too broke down to work any more.
Also, a lot of those families lived in multi-generational homes. Why waste money on new houses when you could all live in an existing one?
Sure, there’s no downside to having totally institutionalized child-rearing, with the “mother” just being a womb for the sake of society and with very little time out of her busy career life to actually be a, you know, mother. No doubt the young males raised in such an environment will be even better than the ones coming out of single-parent households now.
My nieces in Japan have each had 3 kids. They are doing their part!
One of my nieces had pretty much not worked for 2 years as she milked the system. She was getting 75% of her salary for a year after the baby was born. There were many other bennies that she got too.
Her downfall was when the CEO of the company she worked for raided it for all its assets and then closed the company. The 75% of her salary stopped when there was no more company. She was appalled that she lost her free ride.
* Most of the money she was getting was from a subsidy the govt gave her company. So these bennies really aren’t a direct drain on the company, she was just leeching off the taxpayers.

You’d have to go to a story from the local FOX affiliate if you wanted to see the pic of the guy pointing a gun right at the cop who was shot.
I’m not sure how the cops were able to “heavily edit” that video to make things look worse for the criminal. It is pretty damning when you look at it.
I’m sure they don’t imagine they could win an actual civil trial but are shooting for an easy to collect settlement.
20 shots seems like a lot, but it is neither here nor there with regard to the guy’s death. If true, it doesn’t speak well for the attitude or training of the officers that they run around mag dumping when taking down a suspect, but neither here nor there for the murderous nutjob.
I’m not a Back the Blue guy normally, but I’ll 100% forgive the cop who was shot for mag dumping at the guy who just shot him. Especially if you watch the video. I don’t know how the criminal didn’t kill him and only hit his hand.
I’m pretty partial to the other cop who just saw his buddy go down. I’d keep shooting too.

No.
So what port of call did this ship sail from that had a level-4 bio facility?
I checked to make sure the Wuhan lab was inland and not at a port. Also couldn’t find any affiliated shore based labs…
I’m shocked!
Billions of dollars spent without any accountability or paper trail, and people were stealing it. I, too, am shocked!
Probably a lot better one than a normal person would have received.
It will be much less than a sailor who took a selfie in a submarine. It’s a bad sign for your country when everyone just assumes the people with more power and status will face minimal consequences.
Song #2 brings back memories. The first Bond film I saw in a theater was A View to a Kill. I was in junior high, and my friend’s dad took us.
My fave DD song, followed by The Chauffeur.
SOW, wonder how KK is.
At this point I am betting we will find that upwards of 85% of that close to $40 trillion debt we have is from massive decades long fraud (that has ratcheted up to a minimum of $2 trillion a year for the past 6 years) in the social services and government aid fields. There is an entire underground that has become filthy rich from this theft, and they have been the ones financing and paying of the politicians that makes this criminal shit possible. Every social service program, from the federal to the state, to the municipal level is rife with fraud. By design..

You are fake news!
Type-casting is nothing new, look at Jane Fonda in Klute.
So they’re blaming the actress for a line she said in character that was likely written for her?
Well, they’re definitely retarded.
