And this is why newsies suck even, perhaps especially Fox News.
What was the basis of this court decision. We can't tell from the article. It says the court temporarily halted it, and then said this is the controversy and what each side says.
But did the court say it was unconstitutional? Or did they just say we are the court how does our ass taste? We don't know.

Posted by: Bruce at February 29, 2020 06:47 AM (vd8XM)
The stop and frisk policy which was put in by Giulianni not Midget Mike, saved thousands of lives, the vast overwhelming majority of them black lives.
So when it comes to valuing black lives and treating them like they matter, Giullinai and his aggressive policing, no joke probably saved 10k black lives.
And if you want to extend that to other cities which adopted these policies, probably saved 100s of thousands of lives.
Because people have forgotten that in the bad old days, big cities used to have murders that numbered in the thousands, now big cities average murders in the low to mid hundreds.
So when people talk down aggressive policing what they are saying is that they would rather have black people die and live in misery in order to further their own nefarious agendas.

The internal polls have Biden winning PA easily. He is the hardest to beat. They'd just hide him away for six months and bring him out for selected, highly scripted events. Bernie, on the other hand would scare off suburban women with his radical agenda. Nobody would be scared of Biden's policies.
Posted by: Serious Cat at February 29, 2020 07:24 AM (zqs/f)
The worst-case scenario would be that something, God forbid, happened to Trump (the guy is 73, after all, and we all know that he has no shortage of unhinged enemies).
The GOPe would then replace him with Yeb! or Paul Motherfucking Ryan or Schitt Romney or some such cuck, who would then proceed to throw the election. Again.
Result: President Communist.
That is why I think voting for Bernie is too clever by half. If you simply must cast a "strategic vote" in the Dem primary, you should probably vote for the least objectionable candidate rather than the most. Then if the worst happens and that person wins, you'll still be able to look at yourself in the mirror.
Me? I just won't be voting in the Dem primary.

When dad came back he was sent to Edwards AFB in the middle of the Mohave desert. That was quite a change from the green of the South. We'd take Buck out in the desert and he would run himself dog tired chasing jackrabbits.

Probably. We were there about 6 months, thru Christmas.
I made a friend there and we decided we were going to gather and sell mistletoe for Christmas. Once we were down by the river, I don't remember which one, and my buddy climbed out on a tree that was overhanging the river. He got about halfway up and CRACK the whole tree broke in half and he fell into the nearly frozen river and started getting washed downstream. There was a pretty good current. I ran downstream a little bit to where I could grab him and pull him up the bank. Thus ended our planned entrepreneurship.

All those secret weapons were folly. They needed more fighter pilots, STG IIIs, PKWw Vs and a fighting retreat by the Wehrmacht.
Werner Heisenberg met with Bohr. The meeting seemed to signal he was not on board with any effort to get to an atomic bond, which he knew was theoretically possible. I think they could have done it by 1947, with a focused effort.
There are some SF short stories on this. But it just means Germany gets hit with at least 2 atomic bombs. We planed to drop up to 17 atomic bombs on Japan, and Germany was spared that. Instead, the Red Army exacting a very personal price on Germans for Hitler's mistakes.

I'm not convinced getting your ticket punched at an elite school guarantees an easy path BUT, it does provide the opportunity to make the connections to the top jobs/positions.
#1 son got his MBA at an elite. He is and was a hard worker, smart and good kid. Has a great job and makes big $$s. His hard work got him there but the opportunities for that job opened up because he knew a guy who knew a guy, who knew a guy. He attended loads of meets and greets while getting his masters. It was part of the program.

Yep, and it's sad many of those girls won't even talk to a dude who is in a trade school and is highly likely to be making 60-80k immediately following graduation. Nope, they'd rather date Mr. Feminist from their BS gender studies class who graduates with the degree, but then ends up working at Starbucks. Now, if they're looking for the guy whose goal is to work at a top 5 law firm and make partner, then yeah, I believe credentialism plays a role there.
Do I think I could have ended up where I am if I had graduated from a state school instead of a little-Ivy degree? Absolutely.

Both parties are at major junction points. Politics is never going to be the same and we already know it. The R base, the normal people, just aren't going to stand for another mealy-mouthed RINO who speaks in bromides and keeps moving the needle ever leftward anyway.

Op Chaos sounds like a good idea in theory not sure that it is effective. Original Op Chaos was Rush trying to get Hillary in over Obama.
I would think the current goal of an Op Chaos would be to ensure that no candidate reaches the end of the race with an outright majority of delegates. Having 3 or 4 over 15% candidates will do that. So my thought is whoever is in 3d or 4th in your state.
But then what? Suppose that means a second ballot selection of a candidate, and wiser heads are actually wiser and pick a better candidate?

People are stupid. Stupidity is infinite.
Yet stupid people often thing they're really smart, and will act like they meant to do whatever is going on.
The fatal weakness of the left - which is now coming out - is that they have no idea what their future looks like. It can't be both feminist AND trans. Extinction Rebellion assumes people give a damn about children, but the left wants them dead anyway.

I agree with your point, but I think he will get robbed somehow even if he wins the nomination, which would make his minions even more furious.
I believe that the dems are still hoping they can drag Biden over the finish line, he is easily controlled once in office and with the right vice presidential pick they will have what they want in the end.

Do you know why the UT System endowment is so much bigger than A&M's endowment?
Because A&M got first choice.

If Bernie gets robbed, their interests will be contrary to the party and they will be very, very pissed off.
Personally, I'm hoping he gets robbed. The Dem party with a
brownshirt army like that at their back will be more dangerous. If
they're united, the fury points at us; if they're split, they'll cancel
and attack and pogrom each other.

In fact, yes it is. The original Aggie joke.
back around the turn of the 20th century, the State of Texas had been willed the rights to hundreds of thousands of acres in far West Texas, very arid, thought to be worthless. This was in turn given to the University systems that were being set up at the time. The A&M regents didn't think it had value, so they didn't want it and thought they had done well by making the UT system take all of those assets.
Then oil was discovered in West Texas. Those rights have turned into tens of billions of dollars, and they are still producing today. that's where the bulk of UT's endowment comes from.
and it could have belonged to the Aggies, and they turned it down.

Agreed. And the black turnout would be dampened with Bernie who does seem to attract latinos with significant enthusiasm, but that demo isn't a stronghold in the midwest. Biden, on the other hand would be able to get black voters out where he needs in places like Philly and Detroit.

I don't see AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Jayapal, Cenk, Sarsour and others taking it well, and they seem to be good at getting media and social media attention. They declared war on the party as being too "conservative" when they arrived in DC last January. I suppose it depends on if the DNC still has the power to shut that down.

Does anyone else have anxiety dreams? Basically just nightmares, but they leave you awash in all the bad physical effects from stress. You feel tired and frightened and worn down...from sleeping. Then you have to get up and deal with all the real-life stressors.
And as for student loans, I paid for my tuition at a state university with scholarships and work. Graduated college with a good job, $10k in the bank, a new car (a Honda Civic, nothing fancy for me), and no debt except the car loan. This was not the result of "luck" but rather hard work, and boy, does it piss me off when I'm told I owe my success to "privilege".

When the Big Guy is your immediate supervisor, annual reviews can be a bitch.
Reminds me of the really old joke about the Pope addressing the College of Cardinals...
"Well team, I have good news and bad news. The good news is I have just received a telegram from Jesus Christ Himself, and he is returning tomorrow morning, here in Rome, and coming to address us as His representatives on Earth"
After much cheering and celebration, one Cardinal asks "Wait, what's the BAD news? Isn't the fact he is coming HERE to see US the validation of our unique responsibility for doing His work here on Earth for thousands of years?!"
The Pope says "Yeah, that's the bad part... man, is He pissed!!"
