Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (12/12/18 )
When you silence someone you don’t agree with or find offensive, not only do you implement the tactic used by the people you disdain; you also do yourself the disservice of missing out on a potentially meaningful conversation. You cannot affect change if you are not challenged. Nimesh Patel
Quote II
Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you. We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people. Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come. We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done. Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent. Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People. For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country. Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you. It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America. This is your day. This is your celebration. And this, the United States of America, is your country. What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. Everyone is listening to you now. You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before. At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens. Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public. But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny. The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans. For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry; Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military; We’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own; And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay. We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon. One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind. The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world. But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future. We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this moment on, it’s going to be America First. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down. America will start winning again, winning like never before. We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams. We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation. We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor. We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American. We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first. We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow. We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth. At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other. When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.” We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable. There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected. We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God. Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger. In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving. We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it. The time for empty talk is over. Now arrives the hour of action. Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America. We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again. We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow. A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions. It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag. And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator. So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words: You will never be ignored again. Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way. Together, We Will Make America Strong Again. We Will Make America Wealthy Again. We Will Make America Proud Again. We Will Make America Safe Again. And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America President Donald J. TrumpQuote III

How much is enough? The State of California considers taxing text messages.
California may soon charge its residents a fee for text messaging, according to a report released by state regulators Tuesday. The report from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) says the tax on text messaging would likely be a flat fee added to a monthly bill instead of a per text tax and the money would be used to fund programs that make phone service available forlow-income residentswelfare recipients.

The New Christmas Tradition.
Yesterday, the usual "known wolf" - that's to say, known to the highest levels of the French security apparatus - killed three and wounded a dozen more in this year's first attack on a Christmas market - in Strasbourg. The jihadist yelled ...oh, go on, take a wild guess: Joyeux Noël? Bonnes Fêtes? No, he stuck to the traditional greeting. Just over two years ago, in the summer of 2016, I met a delightful German lady who lives just across the border from Strasbourg and whose husband, in fact, was born and raised there. Along with her child, my friend, as I put it, "had found herself on the receiving end of some vibrant multicultural outreach from one of Mutti Merkel's boy charmers": As a result, she no longer goes out after dark. She had also decided - with reluctance, because she enjoyed it - to cancel her participation in a local Christmas market, where she'd sung carols every year - in broad daylight. 'Why would you do that?' I asked. 'Because it's Christmas,' she said, 'and I'm worried Christmas will be a target

The University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign’s (UIUC) Gender & Women's Studies department shared this demand from a nine-point platform created by the National Trans Youth Council’s nine-point platform, prefacing the Facebook post with “something to believe in.” "We call for the abolition of the police, ICE, borders, and the judicial system" Tweet This “We call for the abolition of the police, ICE, borders, and the judicial system,” the NTYC platform reads. Madeleine Hubbard, president of Turning Point USA at UIUC, called this demand “very concerning.
All good things must come to an end. RIP Faith Lutheran Church Annual Lutefisk Dinner.
For 70 years, Faith Lutheran Church in Forest Lake, Minnesota, served an annual lutefisk dinner on the second Tuesday in December. The community was settled by Scandinavian immigrants, and the church served a traditional dinner of lutefisk, lefse, boiled potatoes, meatballs, and other traditional dishes. The church has decided to discontinue the feast this year, and to get the community's attention, pastor John Klawiter wrote an obituary for the dinner, published in the Forest Lake Times. I guess it's true that more people read the obituaries than any other section of the newspaper. People outside of Forest Lake might think that the cause of death would be lack of participation due to a waning taste for lutefisk (a gelatinous dish made by reconstituting dried whitefish with lye), but that wasn't the case. Five hundred people came to eat last year. Go figure. Ultimately, it was the aging of the volunteers that helped contribute to the decision to finally pull the plug on the 70-year tradition.
Do you have a loved one who enjoys time in the kitchen? Is that loved one a disaster there? Gift ideas for the bad cooks.
Sometimes, even when following a recipe fastidiously and being extra careful around sharp knives, cooking just doesn’t go as planned. For some people, this happens once in a blue moon, but for others, it’s more of a routine event. But that shouldn’t stop them from trying. If you’ve got someone in your life who loves to cook despite their failed efforts, these gifts might help them find the top chef within.
Just a hint, Bluebell, Weasel and CBD wish lists are not in this article.
Michael Bloomberg, rich, white, liberal and spouting off.
Bloomberg claimed that 95 percent of murders fall into a specific category: male, minority and between the ages of 15 and 25. Cities need to get guns out of this group’s hands and keep them alive, he said. “These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” Bloomberg said. “They just don’t have any long-term focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.” Except Mayor Mike is wrong. In fact, he’s not even close. Since 2000, minorities have committed about 55% of the murders in this country while whites were responsible for about 45%.
Vermont businessman tells his local government they are #1 in his book.

Has Euthanasia Gone So Far That Even The Belgians Are Shocked?
This was nakedly not “medical” but kill-happy doctors and a suicidal patient gaming the system: “Sophie Nys [the euthanized Tine Nys] says that [the pro-euthanasia] Thienpont diagnosed Tine with Asperger’s and approved her euthanasia request after two or three sessions with Thienpont. Because Asperger’s is ‘incurable and chronic,’ it meets one of the legal requirements for euthanasia. Sophie said her sister was so intent on being euthanized she might have manipulated the test.” It turns out that this doctor is responsible for killing off one in three patients euthanized for mental health related reasons in all of Belgium. …and people still wonder how easy it was for the Germans to commit the Holocaust
Charlemont, MA is making news. Residents of Charlemont reject Comcast for internet provider and will do it themselves.
A small Massachusetts town has rejected an offer from Comcast and instead plans to build a municipal fiber broadband network. Comcast offered to bring cable Internet to up to 96 percent of households in Charlemont in exchange for the town paying $462,123 plus interest toward infrastructure costs over 15 years. But Charlemont residents rejected the Comcast offer in a vote at a special town meeting Thursday. "The Comcast proposal would have saved the town about $1 million, but it would not be a town-owned broadband network," the Greenfield Recorder reported Friday. "The defeated measure means that Charlemont will likely go forward with a $1.4 million municipal town network, as was approved by annual town meeting voters in 2015." About 160 residents voted, with 56 percent rejecting the Comcast offer, according to news reports.

Sit on my face by Monty Python is funny. Forcibly sitting on one's face is a Genius Award Winner-1st Runner Up.
Via the New York Post, “Woman clubs boyfriend, sits on his face for refusing oral sex”: A “very violent” mohawked Missouri woman clobbered her live-in lover as she demanded he perform oral sex on her, the victim and authorities said. Amy Nicole Parrino, 43, was busted on charges of domestic assault and sexual abuse for the Sunday night incident that occurred at Parrino and the man’s Boone County home, according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by The Smoking Gun. During the 9:45 p.m. attack, Parrino allegedly punched the man up to 25 times and struck him with a belt, cellphone and brass plate, according to the court filing.
“I find the facts in the probable cause affidavit troubling,”, said the judge about tonight's Genius Award Winner
A mama Chihuahua and her four puppies are recovering at a Broward County animal shelter after a woman zipped them into a backpack, threw the pack onto bar tables and benches and wildly swung it around, authorities said. Teresa Gardner, 27, was arrested at 3:12 a.m. Sunday after she showed up at Briny Irish Pub in Pompano Beach, where she “was seen roughly throwing the bag, containing the animals, onto the bar tables and benches,” an arrest report said.
For every action there is a reaction. The reaction took awhile but it is Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.
For the last 40 years, Ron Elliott has been using a special pick-up truck to transport the bodies of dead Vietnam veterans to their final resting places free of charge – so when his faithful automobile finally started to break down, the community stepped up to help. Elliott, who is a Vietnam veteran himself, had been driving the same 2000 Ford F150 for about two decades. It was the second vehicle that he had used for his labor of love, and it had wracked up roughly 150,000 miles before it started to die. The side of the truck was emblazoned with the names of Vietnam veterans from Delaware who lost their lives in combat

We should encourage the D's to do this nationwide. A lot of millennials think that there is a vast pool of people with "million-dollar incomes" who can safely be taxed to get them everything they want.
Taxing things that millennials use helps disabuse them of that idea.

If they taxed per text message, iPhone users' text messages to each other wouldn't be taxed. Which is basically outright robbery of money that the state should rightly have. But the state, in its wise beneficence, chooses to offer them a simple way to give the state the money that it's owed for the service it provides to them, viz. to have all the money.

Smith was a perfectly reasonable choice - I wouldn't have voted for him, but he got over 50% of the BBWAA vote on his final ballot and he's certainly just as good if not better than guys like Sutter, Fingers, Gossage and even Hoffman.
Baines is a nice guy but not even close to a Hall of Famer and he never even got 7% on the BBWAA ballot.

Wow, BB
Waybill chased someone out the front door with a chainsaw. Lots of beautiful women onstage wearing only pantyhose and two strips of electrical tape. The final song, White Punks On Dope was hilarious. He comes out as Quay Lewd, the World's Tallest Rock Star in a silver lame suit and 18" platform boots with a gigantic dong that hung almost to his knee. Had the big Elton John glasses that spelled "QUAY" in lights and a big guitar in the shape of the letter "Q." Had a cameraman and video monitors on each side of the stage, which was a brand new idea at the time. Some of what they showed on them was live, and some was, um, other things. Anyway, Quay dies when a 20-ft-tall stack of amps falls on him and he comes back with two girls as angels helping him. Funnier than all hell. Their posters said, "They make Alice Cooper look like a Sunday school picnic."
A fun time was had by all in attendance.

It occured to me today that one reason ice hockey is such a great team sport is how they penalize miscreants - by putting them in the penalty box for a prescribed period of time. Individual transgression with individual punishment, and at the time of the foul. What other team sport does that?

well, the argument that hockey is such a shitty sport would be supported by the same argument. what other sport requires individual players to be hauled off the field and sequestered in a box away from everyone else on a regular basis. hockey is the only "sport" which saw fit to include the brig into it regular games.

Actually, I think the contract was for something like a year at a time, so it wouldn't be a spur of the moment thing.
It made the local cable company very interested in keeping everyone happy so that they could continue to provide their service over the city's wires.
I have no idea what happened since then or if they are doing anything like that today. It seemed to work well at the time, and the cable tv subscribers seemed very happy with the arrangement.

My father and his family are sugar on tomatoes types. It's apparently rare because most around here are freaked out by it.
He puts Sweet 'N' Low on them now, since he's a bit diabetic. But he'll be 91 in a couple of weeks, so he can do whatever the fuck he wants, you ask me.
Putting sugar on them ruined me for tomatoes for years and years. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I started eating tomatoes. The trauma of sugar on them took that long to erase.

Getting that way. And I know the ones I need to use the shorty ratchet on, too. I replaced the top starter bolt with a stud. A lot easier to spin a nut onto a stud than to try and start a 2" long screw in a hard-to-reach space.
And I got real lucky mating the transmission up to the engine. Torque converter studs were lined up perfectly with the holes in the flex plate, and it all came together first try. Of course, I made an effort to "clock" the converter so that would happen, but it's easy to be off just a tad.

No, it's to get that "sociable" ticket punched at the quota mark, show "team player", and keep one's self from sliding downward in the consideration of one's peers and management.
Get in, be seen, be nominally sociable, get out.
And having been in upper management and the executive suite (Fortune 1000 company), I can doubly vouch for the "Two and Out" tactic as a Senior Manager.
NEVER let your subordinates fuel their gossip via your actions at a corporate social function.
Two beers, buy 'em all a round, and get the hell away from there, fast.

I can't do that anymore, unless it is the only thing I eat all day. Lowering sodium can suck, at times.
I've figured-out other ways, though. Chicken takes on spices like nobody's business. It takes to everything rather well.
I won't "miss" the sodium, but it can be a bitch to plan around it.

MSDS says Borax is less toxic than salt.
My favorite story is the guy who was making coffee in a lab and though he was stirring in non-dairy creamer when he had grabbed the container of Borax, and couldn't figure out why it wasn't going milky faster.
He got read the lab safety regs after they got the spit up coffee off the floor, and got verification from the poison control phone line that no-one was going to die from that incident.

And the 1983 segments seem awfully bland and generic. They're important to the plot. And there's a (probably peaceful) anti-government group. But again the group is generic. From what I understand, Solidarity was very important in the real world 1983. But Solidarity hasn't been mentioned even once in the series.

It's pretty amazing on tomato slices. Just a pinch of kosher salt, you don't need much at all. Just sprinkle it on and give it a minute or so to dissolve into the juice and disperse throughout from osmosis or diffusion or convection or the Coriolis effect or whatever.
Maybe centrifugal force, I dunno.
Really, it's worth trying, enough that I wouldn't write off salt on watermelon outright even though it sounds odd.

I gotta find me some of that. How did I live so long without a pepper mill in my kitchen?
Update: Amazon has that pepper plus the Himalayan pink salt and two grinders for under $40. Guess what Santa's bringing me this Christmas?

This is true. Also true: When using one arm to steady a precariously-balanced part, the block of wood needed to support it is always just out of reach of the other arm.

Comcast declined to run fiber optics in my community, so the city, who already has municipal water, sewer and power, decided to do a municipal telecom.
My phone and internet went from 110/mo for lousy and slow internet and phone to 69/mo for moderately OK phone service and better internet than my computer really can take advantage of.
When we have a service issue we can call and get a resolution, they will do a box exchange if you walk it in, and if things are really jacked up, we can drive down to the main office and complain to the manager. It is much nicer than trying to get through a massive phone tree where you never speak to a human

in the old country, where arranged marriages were common, each family hired one person, a mater, to accompany the newly wed couple into their bed chamber. when all the screaming and yelling were done the maters would get behind the bride and groom, force them together, and hold them there until the marriage was consummated.
curiously, the mater hired by the brides family would stand behind the groom and the mater hired by the grooms family would stand behind the bride.

Comcast wanted special cut-outs and a fee on top of it to consider running fiber down along a state highway, 20 miles, to a population of about 18K.
City council of two towns said, "piss on them" and did it themselves.
Comcast came whining back and the city councils of two towns said, "piss on you"
The county seat is still not served by fiber and is asking to be included in the local service now.
A lot of people have issues with a municipality running a business like that, but I would argue it is like a mall handling water and electricity, security, and internet connections.
And even better, if you don't like the municipal service, you can still get Comcast, or any of the other carriers that operate locally.

Assuming you don't overlap passes, or at least keep the overlap to the minimum needed to avoid leave strips, why should it make any difference? You have X hundred square feet to cut, and your mower cuts 1.5 square feet per foot of forward progress.

Vegas? Doral golf course? Trump Tower in Manhattan?
Actually, if he succeeds as I hope he does - some place highly appropriate, and highly unusual - a revived Midwestern industrial town. Youngstown. Some place like that.
Love the idea and imagery of an American president having his library not at a university, not in some large or glamorous city associated with his past - but a regular town, even better a regular town revived largely due to his leadership giving the people the opportunity to revive it.

My Dixon ZTR mower doesn't slow down for turns. But keeping it dialed in for a turn of the exact radius to make a spiral would likely cause undue wear on the drive cones. Also my yard is about 200 by 600 feet, so a true spiral would limit out at the long sides before the ends were reached.

Mike H., too nostalgically positive after breaking out the childhood train stuff, but I fear it's much more serious than the "embedded Left".
It's an undetermined but yuuuge % of the country, the culture - standards being lost. The institutions so rotted out.
Any presidential candidate so brilliant and fit that they shared my entire set of policy preferences - who was theatrically, spectacularly tainted by serious criminal corruption as Hillary - I would want to see defeated, shunned, and prosecuted.
Any sitting president (or candidate) who was a disastrous, loathsome figure, but who was the target of such incredible illegal and inappropriate behavior by the most senior elements in intel and law enforcement, would have my full support in rooting out, punishing, and obliterating those who violated their oaths and corrupted their institutions.

It's a semi-whack idea, that's understood going in.
Most libraries are in places/states associated with the person, biographically.
Just love the idea of the first/only outsider president (so far, insh'allah) in our history painting outside the lines on that, too.
Independence, MO, Whittier, and Simi aren't "consequential" places per se. Just thinking of a presidential library concept that matches the spirit of the inaugural address MisHum put up.
Speaking of which, MisHum - outstanding move. Great idea. If it were up to me, and the county/system still existed, I'd award you the Order of the Red Banner for your ONT service.

SAM site in Palos Verdes that has been "restored" and is open at certain times (I remember seeing the real missiles on the rails as a small kid, when we were driving back from MarineLand, nearby).

I don't remember where I saw it mentioned... But earlier today I saw a brief snippet about Macron's trip to Argentina. Apparently when he arrived, and debarked the plane, there was a worker wearing a yellow vest, and Macron had a brief start until he realized that was normal for where he was.

I've been to both, though it's been quite a while since I was at the Nixon Library. I should go visit it again.
I took a friend of mine - a Japanese national - to the Reagan Library a couple of years ago. As I mentioned here recently, she contacted me the other day because some friends were visiting from Japan, and wanted to visit the Library. And my friend wanted to confirm with me how to go about getting tickets (i.e. whether reservations were needed, etc...). They went this past weekend, and apparently the crowds at the Reagan Library were much lighter than when I went with her (and it was *very* crowded when I went).

I sort of feel sorry for Macron. Not sure why. Maybe he's a slimy s**t, and I just don't have the background on him. But he seems like the sucker who was in the job when the whole s**t-house is about to go up in flames, to borrow a Jim Morrison expression.
Of course his response to this week has lessened my sympathy. He seems as unfit and incompetent - and as possessed of unworkable stupid ideas - as anyone of his ilk.

What's the wildest office Christmas party you've ever attended, Hordies?
Family Christmas Party at the titty bar. (Held during the day when the bar was closed.) Not so much wild as surreal. All the dancers and waitresses brought their kids, we had a Santa and gifts for the kiddos and a really nice buffet. Very odd to see everyone being "civilians", so to speak.

Aside from there not being much to it, it always makes me sad when there is an 'evil child' movie.
The thing about it is we live in a pretty anti-child culture already. They are seen as a tolerated hindrance at best, a life destroying waste at worst.
That this kind of feels like a slap not only to parents, but also those parents who could not have a child of their own and who adopted.
Maybe I am being oversensitive about a crappy movie, but stories matter. Reflection or reinforcement.

There's probably a certain amount of truth to that. From what I've heard, the frustration that led to the demonstrations has been building for a while now. There's been a lot of the same attitude toward drivers by the government, and some of it pre-dates Macron's administration.
On the other hand, you have to admit that he seems to absolutely embody the attitude that led toward the mess in the first place. So if you've got to pick someone for the demonstrations to afflict, he's probably as good a target of them as any.

Of course it is. On the other hand, that kind of is my point. The Superman story is about a hard working, decent family who cannot have children of their own. They find a boy who literally has all the power in the world and they do a good job and shape him into a decent human being, despite his awesome power.
One could look at Superman as a paean to good parenting, if you wanted to.

In CA, someone I know who's on a subsidized O-care plan (only because he faced overnight 500% premium increase on his individual plan when the idiotic law took effect, and he manipulates his income to qualify, for now, until he is working again), says the pre-subsidy premium for his plan went up by *50%*. That was *50%*. In one year. The subsidized premium payment went up 2,000%.

How is it possible that Congress can appropriate money for their own use, and we don't know about it?
Also, with this whole Trump thing, aren't we setting a precedent here wherein paying off "victims" is a campaign contribution? So is Congress using money from the public coffers to essentially give themselves in kind campaign contributions?

well, as I understand it, the US Attorney in the SDNY is now saying that Trump using his lawyer to pay to have a story about infidelity squashed via the national enquirer is an in-kind campaign contribution, since the motivation for keeping the story quiet is to help is campaign.
If we accept THAT as true, but how is it any different if Congress is paying out sexual harassment settlements against Congress with taxpayer money presumably to keep the accusers quiet? Shouldn't the same presumption apply? Namely, that the payout is being made to not hurt the candidates chances of get re-elected?

It doesn't have to be sited on The Mall. There's scarcely any space left there for monuments and such.
But I think if we were to implode and bulldoze the site of the Democrat National Headquarters, and build the monument there, it'd be just about right.

Actually the Charge Count 8 excessive campaign contribution on Oct. 27, 2016. So we need to see if any of these payments were more than the FEC max and charge whomever wrote the checks.

Here's a thought: I wonder if we could somehow make Congresscritters fiduciaries.
Kind of like how the Board of Directors and officers of a public company can be sued in derivative lawsuits for wasting corporate resources (and any breach of fiduciary duties).
I think we should be able to do that to Congress. The fear of being sued as individuals would definitely clean up some bad behavior, no?

Most brown people have yet to blow anything up, and most orange-faced yellow-haired people are decent Floridians."

I'm pretty sure it's illegal for the treasury to write a check for that we've now deemed in-kind campaign contributions for any amount of money.
...and if it's not illegal, well, that's just silly.

There has been a HUGE push for our Pack and Troop to get the rechartering dues submitted this year. They also moved the deadline up to October. We usually don't even have a firm number of Scouts until December.

I got out of Boy Scouts in the 70's. Too much of the gheyness was creeping in, even back then. The article I read is that there's events that started in the 60's even. The last camp I went to one of the 20 something 'camp counselors' got the boot in the middle of the night for committing some act of sodomy with a 15 yr old boy.
Shame. It's a decent learning experience about the outdoors and survival. I never encouraged my son to join.

The Council always has a fundraising push for Friends of Scouting where they send a closer to a Pack or Troop meeting to shame parents into donating money. This year they are much more aggressive in demanding time at one of our meetings so they can bully the captive parents who are there.
