RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...: Seemed like just yesterday we were in the Arctic and now we're in Mississippi. In fact, I can remember looking across the River in August and seeing Arkansas on the other side, and it looked just like that. Of course, it helps that its the other side is so dark you can mistake the farther shore for trees and not Madison.; 23-04-26 6:06 PM
hawkeyedjb చెప్పారు...: Submarine gone. Off to launch an attack on Milwaukee? Or maybe Iranian, in which case it's working the bottom of the lake.; 23-04-26 6:45 PM
Mr. T. చెప్పారు...: Undocumented native American, Elizabeth Warren, was quoting Inga this week, saying that SS Nazi Gruppenfuhrer Graham Platner was "her kind of man." -mysgonist, nazi and simpish.

These are the kind of men of your Modern Democrat party! <3

NAZI Platner, rapist Swalwell, murderer Justin Fairfax...

Remember when KKKak/Richsockpuppet/ paidActbluetroll account gave his support and how they resonate with today's generation of modern domestic terrorists and modern rendition of racial murder cheerleader, trust fund brat, Bernadine Dohrn?

Btw KKKak/Richsockpuppet/paidActbluetroll how come you keep avoiding the Swalwell threads? Why were you so and your democrat paymasters covering up his rapes? Whatever happened to your "no one is above the law?" Whatever happened to "let the chips fall where they may?

Hello KKKak? Are you there? Hello? Hello?; 23-04-26 6:52 PM
Mason G చెప్పారు...: Whatever happened to your "no one is above the law?"

You want to know? It was a lie, they don't really believe that.; 23-04-26 7:07 PM
tcrosse చెప్పారు...: Dems can't be above the law if they ARE the law.; 23-04-26 7:17 PM
Mr. T. చెప్పారు...: What's this? More of KKKak/Richsockpuppet/ paidActbluetrollaccount's "muH fUTure(nari) democracy(TM)crat Partay!" :

"Four people from Utah political circles — three of them elected officials — accuse Eva Lopez Chavez, a Salt Lake City Council member and Democratic congressional candidate, of restraining them during unwanted sexual advances."

I get it that all the Epstein pedo connections turned out be leftists, and there was bad touchy feely DementiaJoe, and you knew about rapist Eric Swalwell for years, but really KKKak-is there anyone in your neo-Stalinist organized crime Democrat Party that ISN'T a sex predator???; 23-04-26 7:25 PM
Iman చెప్పారు...: "Kak" is a vulgar South African slang term derived from Afrikaans, meaning feces, rubbish, or something of very poor quality. It is used to describe unpleasant situations, bad objects, or as an exclamation of disagreement. Common usage includes saying something is "kak" (rubbish) or "hard kak" (tough luck).

Kak became TinyE® and mutated to TinyEE®.; 23-04-26 7:35 PM
Clyde చెప్పారు...: Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn08jy6w0l5o

"Children aged 17 or younger will face a lifelong ban on buying cigarettes, as the Tobacco and Vapes Bill clears Parliament.

"Both the Commons and Lords have settled on a final draft of the "landmark" legislation that aims to stop anyone born after 1 January 2009 from taking up smoking by making it illegal for shops to sell them tobacco, to create a smoke-free generation."

This is why we have a Constitution, and are not a part of the United Kingdom anymore. I’m a non-smoker, and I’m glad that there are laws in Florida that limit the places where people can smoke in public. That said, I don’t believe that it’s the government’s business — ANY government — to ban tobacco and vapes for adults in the future. That way lies tyranny. What else will they choose to ban for people’s “own good”?

It will only apply to young people who are under 18 right now; in other words, people who can’t vote right now. This is different than a ban on things like heroin that affects everyone; it will only affect some people and not others, with an arbitrary age cutoff. In the U.S., such a law would be blatantly unconstitutional. And while I think that tobacco is an awful thing, I think government tyranny is worse.
I’ll just add that they are setting a bad precedent, if laws apply to some but not others, based on year of birth. When those kids come to power in twenty or thirty years, what kind of similar laws might they write that only apply to oldsters but not them? As the old saying goes, “Be nice to your kids; they’ll pick your nursing home.”; 23-04-26 7:36 PM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Jesse Watters just said "the whole Democrat Party is a hoax. They're the Nigerian Princes of politics."

Beautiful and needs to be repeated. CC, JSM; 23-04-26 7:36 PM

Peachy చెప్పారు...: Dear Corrupt Lying Soviet Media (D-holes), shove it where the sun don't shine.; 23-04-26 7:39 PM
Leland చెప్పారు...: Meanwhile, girls as young as 15 are gang raped in the UK, and even when they convict the guilty men, they are only sentenced to 8 to 9 years in prison. The video evidence used to convict the men is being blocked from the government from being released “because it could cause riots”.

Better to ban cigarettes than protect children from immigrant rapist, eh Starmer?; 23-04-26 7:40 PM
narciso చెప్పారు...: The last one is very evocative

Starmer is the very model of a credentialed idiot; 23-04-26 7:41 PM

john mosby చెప్పారు...: "Four people from Utah political circles — three of them elected officials — accuse Eva Lopez Chavez, a Salt Lake City Council member and Democratic congressional candidate, of restraining them during unwanted sexual advances."

I Googled her and she is not a gigantic woman. I don't think she could 'restrain' the average man, or even the average woman. How is she supposed to have done this restraining?

Maybe she has a good impossibility defense. I'll volunteer to take part in a reenactment!

More seriously, is this a case of de-minimis getting blown out of proportion? I suppose she could smush someone against the wall through surprise, and then the victim wouldn't want to push her away because then they'd be the bully. But that means the victim wasn't actually restrained.

Less seriously, resolving this case demands detailed retelling of these events. And maybe some instructive AI re-creations. CC, JSM; 23-04-26 7:42 PM

I’m a non-smoker, and I’m glad that there are laws in Florida that limit the places where people can smoke in public.

On the beach enjoying the water in the Gulf of America today, walking along breathing in the fresh salt air. And suddenly- the stench of cigarette smoke. I've gotten so used to smoke free air out in public that encountering it was jarring. Completely different from when I was a kid and surrounded by smokers anywhere I went.

There will always be users among us- of all kinds of things. Today's world is a big improvement over that of 60 years ago, at least as far as tobacco use goes. The ongoing effort- by liberals and libertarians- to downplay the effects of marijuana are disappointing. A little late in life to come to the realization, but an old HS buddy of my youngest child just admitted to him- "I should have listened to you, weed is really addictive."; 23-04-26 7:49 PM
narciso చెప్పారు...: Good grief when did bob kagan require a suspensor belt

They certainly dont want to keep the republiv; 23-04-26 7:50 PM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Clyde: "In the U.S., such a law would be blatantly unconstitutional."

Are you sure? The age limit would just get rational-basis scrutiny. The G would say the rational basis is it wants to ban tobacco - which it already has the power to do - but to do it in a way that's fair to people who currently use it.

It's kinda-sorta like the way drinking ages were raised to 21 one year at a time so that legal 18-yo drinkers didn't become illegal. But in reverse. CC, JSM; 23-04-26 7:51 PM
tim maguire చెప్పారు...: john mosby said...It's kinda-sorta like the way drinking ages were raised to 21 one year at a time so that legal 18-yo drinkers didn't become illegal.

Christopher B చెప్పారు...: @john mosby Here's a link to the AofSHQ post that Mr T. was probably referencing.

A quick read indicates your instincts were basically correct. In two of the incidents she trapped the other person against a wall, a third was a similar situation in a car, and the fourth was a case of grabbing at someone on a dance floor. "Restraining" was probably used because they didn't want to write that she was assaulting them, which is more accurate.; 23-04-26 7:58 PM
tim maguire చెప్పారు...: That was unintentional.

I think it would not pass muster in the US because it’s not an age limit like 21 for alcohol. It’s an outright prohibition—but only for some people. In that, it violates equality before the law.; 23-04-26 8:00 PM
narciso చెప్పారు...: I used to respect bob kagan till i discoverec he forgot everything his father taught him (the great donald kagan); 23-04-26 8:08 PM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: We change laws all the time. People who were born under one set of laws reach the age of criminal responsibility under another set of laws. Some of the gun laws, like the Chicago handgun ban. had grandfather clauses. So someone who owned a pistol in 1975 (I think) could keep owning it for 50 or 60 years, while someone born in 1976 could never own a pistol. Such people were well into adulthood before the ban was overturned in McDonald (2010).

Now the pistol ban was eventually overturned, but the unfairness of grandfathering was not one of the reasons.

I guess I'm saying that "this law affects only people born after X year" and "this law affects only people who aren't already doing the thing it prohibits" eventually have the same result - kind of a rule against perpetuities sort of thing.

No? CC, JSM; 23-04-26 8:17 PM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: addendum: under both rules, you eventually reach an equilibrium where no one left alive is allowed to do the thing, after a period where some are and some aren't. (And I suppose with smoking, the people grandfathered in are not long for the "left alive" category.) I don't see how courts would concern themselves too much with the relative length of that "some can/some can't" period. CC, JSM; 23-04-26 8:22 PM
The Cracker Emcee Refulgent చెప్పారు...: Well, the criminal classes in the UK will be delighted with that. A massive black-market/smuggling opportunity. It’ll probably be a Muzzie monopoly as long as they kick up to Labour.; 23-04-26 8:23 PM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: @Peachy 7:47 “must click” very true. That’s an excellent link to DataRepublican’s post. Highly recommended.; 23-04-26 8:28 PM
Iman చెప్పారు...: Mr.T… The poopy stench of kak is neutralized only by his absence. It’s a gift… a break from the usual disconnect from reality and absence of logic. Because in the overall scheme of things, who are we to pass judgement on this man… but who amongst us can honestly say that we’d trust our kid with him?

Perhaps Kak took the night off because he’s grown weary of compromising his dignity. At least that’s my guess.; 23-04-26 8:37 PM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: My friend has a nesting pair of Great-tailed Grackles in her yard. A couple of years ago, she found a dead baby grackle floating in her pool, fished it out, and buried it. Yesterday, while standing by the pool, a grackle flew right up to her, squawking loudly. It then flew to the nest, picked up a dead baby bird, and deliberately dropped it into the pool - continuing to squawk at my friend until she removed it and buried it again.
According to Grok, “grackles originally nested along rivers and streams. To keep their colony hidden from predators, parents would carry dead chicks away from the nest and drop them into the water, where currents would carry them off. In modern suburban settings swimming pools serve as the nearest substitute for a river.”
So this grackle remembered my friend as the “clean-up crew” from 2 years back.; 23-04-26 8:55 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Strait Outta Washington.

Snoop Doggy Donald went rat-tat-tat-tat at Iranian gangstas and now they won't let the tankers ride. Looks like this November won't be a GOP thang. No wonder Pete is sipping on gin and juice.

Dre's lyrics can leave something to be desired (e.g. "cuz if I slip, then I'm slipping") but I've always liked "creep, creep, you best move like Luther Vandross."; 23-04-26 9:54 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Trump got 34 felonies, 3 baby mamas, been shot and kidnapped a siting President. He's running our government like Death Row records from the 90's.; 23-04-26 10:01 PM

Iman చెప్పారు...: He’s lump and Trump’s in his head.; 23-04-26 10:45 PM
RCOCEAN II చెప్పారు...: 4 Republicans Senators just helped the Democrats stop the SAVE act - The Rino sisters (Collins, Lisa Murkey), Tillis and Mitch the Bitch. McConnell and Tillis are retiring, so they can vote who they really are - Democrats.

Its says a lot about the other Republican Senators that they constantly reelected a leader who Democrat for years, changed to a Republican to get elected, and has spent the last 10 years sabotaging Trump and Conservatives. But give Mitch credit - he loves crony capitalism, big donors, Israel and bringing the bacon for Kentucky.; 24-04-26 12:31 AM

…and their strategy was used by the Biden administration to create J6 and we can only imagine how many government agencies are involved.

john mosby చెప్పారు...: A fort Bragg E-8 has been indicted in SDNY for making $300K on a poly market bet about the Maduro snatch.

I suppose it's good to crack down on this sort of thing, but it bugs me that he's being done in the civilian system, hundreds of miles from Bragg, for something clearly tied to his military conduct. Any number of UCMJ articles apply. He could easily be court martialled right at Bragg. Is the Admin afraid a panel would acquit?

This sets a bad precedent for lawfare against troops. Reminds me of the marines prosecuted in the civilian system for alleged war crimes after all their service obligations were over. But the G doesn't even have that excuse with this guy. CC, JSM; 24-04-26 5:44 AM
rehajm చెప్పారు...: Interesting about the grackles Eva. This time of year we observe all kinds of unique behaviors from our birds and their predators. We’ve had a drought for a few weeks so I’ve been hand watering in the yard and running the sprinklers extra time, which brings out the hummingbirds hovering around my head, looking for a shower…; 24-04-26 5:56 AM
rehajm చెప్పారు...: The take from that guy about the SPLC is off. He seems to imply the motivation of SPLC was to stoke racist episodes to help fundraising, when they were doing it as part of a larger operation to condemn conservatives and help unpopular Democrats win elections, or at least keep elections close enough so Democrats can steal them…; 24-04-26 6:08 AM
planetgeo చెప్పారు...: Definitely Extended Kak (TM), dude, everyone here knows you're Strait Outta DNC. Nightly/daily hijacking these threads. Bummer for you about the SPLC Scooby-Doo-like unmasking.; 24-04-26 6:25 AM

narciso చెప్పారు...: They pay him for this, hes really phoning it in; 24-04-26 6:32 AM
Marcus Bressler చెప్పారు...: 1. Encountering cigarette smoke in the wild doesn't seem to bother me much. Perhaps it is due to my mother smoking for 40 years (until she gave it up at age 54 - yes, she started at 14 in 1946; it still eventually killed her, but not before throat cancer took away her voicebox). While I sniff in disgust at discarded butts - are smokers the worst slobs evah - pot smoke in public seems to annoy me more.
2. When a liberal assaults someone, the hated media says it is a method of restraint. If it comes out in a sworn deposition that she finger-banged a victim, they will probably write, "She was simply pointing out to the accusers how they misinterpreted her actions."; 24-04-26 6:35 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Infinite Ex: “ Trump got 34 felonies, 3 baby mamas, been shot and kidnapped a siting President. He's running our government like Death Row records from the 90's.”

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ చెప్పారు...: Dre didn't write many lyrics. Snoop wrote Dre's verses on "Nuthin' But A G Thang", Snoop and the D.O.C. wrote most of the rest of the lyrics on "The Chronic". Jay-Z wrote "Still D.R.E.", Eminem wrote Dre's verses on "Forgot About Dre" and "The Watcher", among others. Fo'shizzle! 🤌; 24-04-26 8:50 AM
Leland చెప్పారు...: It is funny how the Democrat narrative on SPLC (“they were just paying informants”) seems to be backfiring as it suggests SPLC was working in coordination with Biden DOJ to perhaps entrap people.; 24-04-26 9:01 AM
RJW చెప్పారు...: Reading Trump’s late night/ early morning toilet tweets, how is it, that so many who object to Trump’s nonsense, refuse to go along with his disastrous economic policies, lobby for or fund his opponents, or obstruct his Make America White Again agenda, are suddenly guilty of either fraud or treason?

And even for the most gullible of the Goobers who flap their fins and chant “ork ork ork” to every regurgitation of word salad sewage he vomits their way, precisely what mechanism do we have in place for a former U.S. presidential election that could possibly create it be “wiped from the books and be of no further force of effect”?; 24-04-26 9:02 AM
