Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sunday Overnight Open Thread (6/7/20)Quote I “Part of it is simply an assertion of power. Riots nearly always have a carnival aspect because people who for nearly all their lives have felt under the thumb of other groups suddenly have a sense of power,” Stephen Reicher Quote II “Anyone surprised that protests include looting of luxury stores in Soho & elsewhere doesn’t know the 1st thing about racial capitalism & luxury consumption. Racial exploitation is at the root of consumer capitalism built on the commodification of black bodies through slavery.” Arlene Dávila, a professor at NYU Quote III They’d love to have a very, very powerful government, including a federal government, involved in directly addressing their day-to-day reality. It’s not reachable right now. And it leaves this friction, and this anger, which is visceral. Quote IV “If there is a spike in coronavirus cases in the next two weeks, don’t blame the protesters” but rather “racism” and the NYPD: “Police are increasing covid risk by using tear gas and putting people in crowded jails.”City Councilman Mark Levine (D-Manhattan)Quote V Liberals may equate the term “law and order” with racism, but without law and order, there is no justice and no peace. Patrick J. Buchanan Quote VI “We’re going through this wave of anti-bullying, everybody needs to be friends, everybody needs to get along.” Johnny RyanOh FFS! Quote VII "We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. We are also here because, here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States, it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety isn’t working for so many of our neighbors,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender ![]() Officials who pushed strict lockdowns now argue protesters are an exception You must stay home to save lives.

A Lyme Disease Vaccine Doesn’t Exist, but a Yearly Antibody Shot Shows Promise The method, known as Lyme PrEP, delivers a single anti-Lyme antibody directly to a person rather than triggering the patient’s own immune system to make many antibodies as vaccines do. Lyme disease has become an insidious epidemic in the United States. Caused by bacteria transmitted by an infected tick bite, symptoms can include arthritis, cardiac and neurological problems if left untreated. It is the most common tick-borne illness in the United States, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that around 300,000 people likely contract the disease each year. Does virtue signaling burn a hole in your pocket? Here's your chance to satisfy that urge. You to can spend $639 on a pair of jeans. Okay, you can't be the Tiger King. Or the Lion King. But you can, thanks to a zoo in northern Japan, have lion-ripped pants. You can casually bring up in conversations with friends how your pants were torn up without mentioning that you weren't wearing them at the time. Sora News 24 reports that the North Safari Sapporo zoo in Japan is offering this service as way of earning revenue while the zoo is closed to visitors during the coronavirus lockdown. Lion-mauled jeans cost about $639. Other items available include coasters gnawed beavers, paintings made by goats, monkeys, or seals, and earrings made from shed snake skin. The court was rather pointed in how they structured their ruling, delivering a barely veiled shot at Whitmer’s governing style in the process. They acknowledged that the executive branch does indeed have to power to regulate such activity during a time of crisis, but said that such decisions must be “made according to the rule of law, not hysteria.” Most of you know I attempt to make The ONT informative, thought provoking and fun. I do try to keep my soap box in the laundry room. But............. Over the weekend the Blue on Blue violence was addressed in several threads. I'm fortunate that I do not live in a blue state. I guess you could call my state purple. Two large blue cities dominate what is for the most part a red state. I'm very blessed to live in a rural setting. I don't wake up to police squads blaring. Most of my local stores are still up and operational (The Covid-19 Bull Shit is another matter). Nothing has been burnt here except for the occasional camp fire or S'mores. If I found myself living in NYC, Minneapolis or L.A. I would be facing some tough decisions on where I would want to wake up say 6 months from now. I could probably pick up and leave. My parents have passed and are in a better place. My children are grown and are scattered across this great country. There is no black and white answer about picking up and moving. Some stay for jobs and businesses. Others remain because of climate. Some choose not to uproot their families. And let's face it, some stay because living paycheck to paycheck prevents them from packing up from a blue location and moving across the country to a red state. Others are fortunate to move and get away from the blue. Unfortunately the only time black lives matter is when a black life is snuffed out and can be used to exploit a political situation. If black lives really mattered Rev. Al Sharpton would be camped out in a RV in front of the funeral homes in the City of Chicago. If black lives really mattered David Dorn would be as familiar as Floyd George. If black lives mattered: This sniveling asshole would resign and crawl back under the "civil rights" rock he came from. Among the names we learned during the ten days of widespread looting, rioting, and the wholesale destruction of property in Minneapolis following the death of George Floyd was that of Jacob Frey. Frey, a former civil rights attorney, is the city’s mayor. And during what feels like eternity since mobs took to the streets, burning and/or stealing everything in sight, he has shown himself to be one of the weakest and most indecisive leaders in the history of the universe. The cities that are being destroyed have nobody to blame but themselves. The left has controlled every facet of these cities. From Pre-K 4 year old programs to the hallowed halls of city hall, the left has run everything. And has run everything into the The mayor of Minnehopelis, may not know how to govern...........

Has their ever been anyone in history more in danger from the Left, who has equally ever been better at sitting back and letting them pwn themselves?
For all the people who said Trump needed to make his stand and push for the lockdowns to end real quick (and end up with all that magic "blood on his hands" when the Left juiced the statistics in response), and that he was fooled and all that shit... take a look at how he went with the flow when needed, and then the Left magically just goes and hangs themselves with their own stupid -ass homemade Jussie noose. Lot of regular people have woke up suddenly to all these state-sanctioned protests and deduced *on their own* that the lockdowns were obvious bullshit. They will question the rest of what they hear. And that's the only way people get convinced of shit. On their own. Posted by: ... at June 07, 2020 09:53 PM (gZ6M8) 34
You hit on something I've been thinking about all day, but I have a much more optimistic take on it! Or, Why I am now more Bullish on the Economy than I have been all Year.
You said: "Officials who pushed strict lockdowns now argue protesters are an exception You must stay home to save lives. You must socially distance and lock down. Unless you're protesting racism and police brutality." Yes, you are exactly right, that's what they have been saying. Their problem is, the cognitive dissonance between those two positions is too great for any normal person to tolerate. It doesn't work, no matter how much they stamp their feet and pretend it is going to work. They've lost the argument, and they did it to themselves. All this year, I have been doubtful that the economy would come back because so many levels of government were going to do everything they could to keep their boot on it, stamping down til November. But suddenly, not thanks to George Floyd, (that would be perverse) but due to the Reaction to George Floyd, their position has collapsed. Overnight, everyone in the country, even on the left, has realized that these lockdowns were a completely unnecessary farce. They're already falling apart, and the few jurisdictions hanging onto them are just doing it as a naked power play, and everyone knows this. We've won on the virus scare. That's why Wall Street is soaring - they've killed it ovenight, no one is buying it anymore. I had never dared to hope it could end so fast, and so completely! Hooray!!! other things we've won on this week: Gun Control - DEAD Open Borders - DEAD and I think there's a couple more, I'll let y'all come up with them.

Evening, Hordefriends. While we are entrenched in a blue state (dela-where?), we are lucky enough to be in a red area so far away from any major protests or issues. Our governor stands with the protestors and keeps thanking them. What a joke.
We had a wonderful day today with my parents, just enjoying the weather and some great food while watching their pups race around after our pup in our backyard. Mr D smoked a pork shoulder. I made nanner pudding and served Jane D'oh's pickled shrimp for an appetizer and they are as amazing as advertised. Will definitely be putting that into rotation. The garden is coming along, been picking about a quart of snap peas every other day and the shelling peas are just coming in. Green beans not far behind. Cherry tomatoes and green squash are setting. Peppers and cukes have blooms and the melons and sunflowers that I planted on Tuesday have broken through the surface to begin life. I applied for a job but have heard nothing. Will keep looking. I hope you all are well. Stay safe and be well and try to be positive in these difficult times. It is a struggle, trust me I know, but it is the way I continue to make it through each day. I do lurk here every day, but try to avoid most of what is going on, just to keep my sanity. But heyyyyyyyyyy ONT!

D1 football, and the NFL, chew up young African American men and pay them, on average, next to nothing. It's a billions dollar industry, with the worst labor union in professional sports. Maybe in the world, all.industries, all things considered. Totally co-opted. No guaranteed contracts for an activity that carries a near certainty of career and life altering injury. A handful of players...including a wildly disproportionate number of white guys...make a ton of money at the pro level. But the majority are in a much more precarious year to year position. And in college of course they are literally slave labor. What a complete joke. A fraud. A shame. A stain on America, really, and now being put in the service of communism.

I have a good buddy who is not exactly a conservative but he's no commie lefty either. He's got only a few strong political stances and sees through "both parties" - his problems with Republicans are mostly the neocon Bush war wing of the party. He's what you would call a "swing voter". Maybe not typical because he's smart and informed. I think a lot of swing voters just vote emotionally.
Anyway, dude thought at the beginning that this Corona shit was serious. A 2% or more death rate. He also believed it was manufactured and released by China as "flip the board over" response to Trump, which only contributed to his fears. I argued with him about it from the beginning - about how the response was totally overblown - not arguing, we talk about shit thoughtfully. But he was convinced this was some fourth turning black swan shit. He also thought that Trump instituting the China ban so early had "won him the election". Well I hadn't talked to him in a couple weeks but come to find out that sometime in the last two weeks he has determined on his own that the whole COVID thing was a "psy ops scam" for a virus only "mildly more deadly" than the flu. That's his quote. I can't wait to find out what it was that changed his mind but I will bet you anything it's the way the Left rolled over and said these mass gatherings and riots are fine, but these mass gatherings and prayers aren't fine. That's huge. Posted by: ... at June 07, 2020 10:02 PM (gZ6M8) 63

Well Wyatt I trust you never let your Broncos thing lead to actually wearing their jersey around Philly?
Years ago I went to a Flyers-Capitals playoff game at the Spectrum (came up from DC). Caps won in over-time. On the way out of the building back to the train, my friend and I saw a guy in a Capitals' jersey being chased by people through the foyer area - not kidding. It was like a movie scene.

>>>Anyway, not the only city like that, but I had the impression wearing enemy colors in Philly was a poor clothing choice .....
Yes. My family hates every Philly team except the MLS Union. Philly fans pretend they're knowledgeable, but most - not all, obviously - are drunken dolts who will assault you if you wear a different jersey. Eagles fans are the worst, but it happens with all four major sports clubs. A 76ers player went to an Eagles game last season wearing a Redskins jersey and some dick Eagles fans attacked him. Again, not all Philly fans, but a lot of them. Posted by: Wyatt Earp at June 07, 2020 10:06 PM (AFSld) 83
Michigan's Governor, "Karen" Whitmer is called hysterical by Michigan's high court.
Governor Caitlin Jenner is busy persecuting 77 year old barbers for not social distancing, can't be bothered with the rioters. I have to be fair though. The protests/riots in Detroit are pretty moderate compared to some cities. And I didn't come up with Whitmer looking like Caitlin, someone else on this site did.

I was thinking back to when Portland doubled the size of its police department.
It was the early '90's, and murders in Portland had surged to over 50 a year. (I moved to Portland in 1995, and 52 people were murdered that year.) Almost all the murders were young black males killing other young black males. Considering that there were only about 30,000 black people in Portland then, being black in Portland was about as dangerous as living in Chicago or Detroit. However, the triggering event was that there was a drive-by murder in Portland. In downtown. On a weekday. During lunch hour. As hundreds of office workers scrambled out of the way of the bullets, a general consensus was soon reached among elected officials that Portland needed to spend a lot more money on cops. Murders now average 20 or so (still largely black on black). Most of the people demanding defunding of the cops have no idea what Portland used to be like with about half the cops it has today.

The very commonly used greeting "long time no see" first became popular as a way to make fun of Native Americans. The phrase was used as a way to mock a traditional greeting exchanged between Native Americans. ---------------------------------- Are lying and shitty editing racist? Because... GUILTY.

Here's my rant concerning the "Ob/Gyn Curbside Visits". I have a relative who has dealt with 2 cases of cancer already. She has known since Jan. that she has a couple of nodules on her lung. From what I gather, she still doesn't know whether they are malignant or what. A couple of her doctors only see her by phone call, due to the Chinese Plague. She won't be finding out about the potential lung cancer until near the end of June. Meanwhile, she drove past some large protest in one of the Detroit suburbs today, and apparently, Chinese Plague wasn't a concern for protesters.
To say that I am fed up with this Chinese Plague bullshit is understating it. Posted by: nerdygirl at June 07, 2020 10:22 PM (+lVUW) 175

He liked Reagan (mom thought Ronnie was the greatest thing ever) but hated both Bushes. He would just say, "there's a lot of shit behind the scenes with them, and others, too, they are corrupt.

"44 Evening, Hordefriends. While we are entrenched in a blue state (dela-where?), we are lucky enough to be in a red area so far away from any major protests or issues. Our governor stands with the protestors and keeps thanking them. What a joke."
The living situations aren't always clear-cut. I live in a rural Red area of a Blue county in a Red state. There's actually a large city in the county but the topography prevented much housing where I am. I'm not leaving and actually have hope the politics of the city/county can still change due to some recent flukes. If a prog city can flip back to at least moderate it's a huge moment. So I intimately understand both positions JJ and krakatoa laid out. I'm not going anywhere as this is my home but I also understand this is my personal choice and will not depend on the state or feds to bail me out if the progs go after the kulaks in the countryside under their control. 62: "Well I hadn't talked to him in a couple weeks but come to find out that sometime in the last two weeks he has determined on his own that the whole COVID thing was a "psy ops scam" for a virus only "mildly more deadly" than the flu. That's his quote. I can't wait to find out what it was that changed his mind but I will bet you anything it's the way the Left rolled over and said these mass gatherings and riots are fine, but these mass gatherings and prayers aren't fine. That's huge." It must be a fairly widespread phenomenon. The propaganda outlets are blaming tear gas and other "police tactics" for the possibility of COVID spreading due to protests. Mind you, they aren't claiming COVID is spreading. It's lame and even LIV's can see it is lame. An interesting aspect is that friends and relatives who aren't well-educated and/or very informed smelled bullshit first. That recalls the old Trotsky line about propaganda being more effective with the educated classes if some authority, no matter how spurious, is attached to it but that tactic not being effective with the working class.

250 So, it sounds like they got massive amplifiers at the perpetual Seattle protest on Capitol Hill. I can hear people speaking from my kitchen-and the chanting. I don't know what they want from the poor bastard cops at that precinct. There are other police stations in town who could have a turn.

"Anyone surprised that protests include looting of luxury stores in Soho & elsewhere doesn't know the 1st thing about racial capitalism & luxury consumption. Racial exploitation is at the root of consumer capitalism built on the commodification of black bodies through slavery." Arlene Davila, a professor at NYU --- Slavery gone long time. The North, zero slaves, had twice the population of the South and nearly all the machines and industry. The South used slaves and white sharecroppers in much of its agriculture-based economy. The Civil War destroyed the accumulated wealth of the South and made the North even wealthier than before. The pattern continued for some time after the war. Southern economy dragging, Northern economy booming. What are white people squeezing out of blacks today? What do they have that can be robbed for anyone else's benefit? This lunatic grifter should not have a job. She seeks to justify my ultimate extermination with lies. I kind of resent that. Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at June 07, 2020 10:37 PM (t5m5e) 268

And thank you for the little gift you included as well. I'm eyeing the patriotic colored beaded bracelet in your shop as well. Gift for my sister-in-law. She and my brother (Major in Army) both live in Hawai'i and I rarely get to see them. So hoping to send her a little something to let them know I still miss them. Great items, Jewells.

Lot of regular people have woke up suddenly to all these state-sanctioned protests and deduced *on their own* that the lockdowns were obvious bullshit. They will question the rest of what they hear. And that's the only way people get convinced of shit. On their own.
Posted by: ... at June 07, 2020 09:53 PM (gZ6M ![]() There's a lot to be learned from how Trump handled this. If the GOP was smart 11 years ago (I know, I know), Obamacare would have been DOA already. When John (itsatax) Roberts gave CPR to O-care, as we know, the GOP decided to make a series of futile gestures (otherwise known as 'resolutions') announcing they would repeal and replace it. Of course, nobody could articulate what 'replace it' meant, and they had no actual power to 'repeal' either. This was the beginning of Failure Theater II - Electric Boogaloo. Their tactic ultimately got the GOPe power again, but they lost the trust of their base in the process. What they should have done, as soon as SCOTUS made that decision, was to put it into effect. No Cadillac Plan exceptions, no Democratic special interest group exemptions. Everyone gets it, good and hard. There would have been some short-term pain, but the Dems would have still owned the problem, and everyone would have felt the pain. After a couple of years of the wheels falling off the bus - in EXACTLY the way we predicted - America would have been begging for repeal in the same way we got ourselves out of Prohibition. Or, not. At least in this way we found out how big a sellout Paul Ryan et al really was, and we got Trump. Posted by: Darrell Harris at June 07, 2020 10:41 PM (CWpUq) 293

" A post-mortem nasal swab confirmed that diagnosis. The report notes that because a positive result for coronavirus can persist for weeks after the disease has resolved, "the result most likely reflects asymptomatic but persistent ... positivity from previous infection."

I'm not surprised the Denver Broncos and other NFL teams are embracing the BLM movement. Most of the players are black, so they have to. Posted by: DB- just DB. at June 07, 2020 10:48 PM Of course, then there's MLB and players like Joey Votto: "Only now am I just beginning to hear. I am awakening to their pain, and my ignorance. No longer will I be silent." Wonderful. If this is the new trend, where athletes in every sport share their ignorant opinions on hyper-partisan issues of the day --- likely all leaning left with the insinuation that if you do not agree with them, you're bad --- then I think I am done with sports. I left NBA fandom 10+ years ago and have not looked back. I've made the decision on the NFL after their explicit alignment with Black Lives Matter. Now seems like MLB is doing the same, so they're gone. Only sport left for me is the NHL. I have to hope they do not go full-retard, pro-BLM.

there was a billboard that read "will the last person to leave Seattle please turn off the lights" Posted by: REDACTED at June 07, 2020 10:19 PM (JgrP5) The Boeing bust, after Congress voted no on the SST. SuperSonic Transport. The billboard was on I-5, just the chain on/off single light bulb,hanging from a wire, on a black background, and that phrase. It was to shame local politicians for screwing everything up. 70-71-72 was a meager time economically for Wa state.

There's another video of Mayor Frey having his Robespierre moment: he went out in a t-shirt to address a mob that showed up at his residence, and they booed him for not agreeing to DISMANTLE the Minneapolis PD: shouting "Shame! Shame!" as he walked alone, head down, through the crowd.
The Mob always eats its own, sooner or later. Speaking of the Mob: an actually excellent, and terrifying, book Ann Coulter wrote about 15 years ago is on point: "DEMONIC." Most of it is based on the work of another writer (whom she cites) about the French revolution, a.k.a. the Reign of Terror. Bastille Day? Well, when the mob "stormed" the Bastille, there was [surprise!] nothing heroic about it: there were only a handful of prisoners there because the government was already on course to close it, and maybe a dozen or so guards. The warden came out to plead with the crowd: he said he'd release the prisoners to them, please don't kill us--- but they swarmed in and murdered all the guards, Dismembered the warden, DECAPITATED him, and carried his bloody head on a pike through the streets, roaring in triumph. The guillotine was cutting people's heads off night and day in the public square in Paris. Imagine the terror of THAT going on, and thinking if you were found guilty of opposing the Revolution, you and your family would be next. Christianity? Outlawed; the priests were persecuted and slaughtered everywhere, and the Mob had satanic rituals and copulated on the altars -- bet you didn't hear about that little detail, did you? The Mob is demonic energy unleashed: every evil impulse given free rein, and cover by numbers and anonymity. Satan lashes them from behind, and it's no accident that he goes after Christians in particular. Sound crazy? Think. "By their fruits shall ye know them," said Jesus. And the devil is the Father of Lies. [Not an argument in favor of the Ancien Regime of the aristos, btw: just that our Revolution was the way to go, but theirs was demonic.] Posted by: Beverly at June 07, 2020 11:01 PM (+0Ebw) 397
I remember when a bunch of pissed off Mexicans beat the ever loving shit out of Richard Ramirez when they caught him in their neighborhood.
I lived in the middle of Mexican gangs for a couple of years and never had a lick of trouble from any of them. They adore my grandma, and used to fix our cars. They kept the gang shit among the gangs. South Gate, mid 80s. Might be different now, but it was fine then. I always loved having Hispanic neighbors.

I love the South, where I was born and raised, but it will be a wrench to leave New York City. It's a fabulous town in so many ways, and it kills me to leave it to the berserkers.
But I'm at retirement age, and thinking, do I really want to keep doing the three flights of stairs to a tiny apartment downtown that doesn't even have a sink in the bathroom? when for the same amount of money that I spend for my apartment + garage, I can have a 3-4 bedroom house with a yard and garage, and nice neighbors? and wide open spaces? and TREES? Hmmm... I've been in NYC nearly 40 years. Always thought of Gotham as rightly belonging to all Americans. Like Washington, D.C., is supposed to. I really hate abandoning territory to the Enemy. But: If we can fight a rearguard action in strengthening our red-blooded, pro-American states and weather this storm, we will have the base to begin the Retaking of America.

I have an idea for the NFL. Each team signs Colin Kaepernick. Arizona starts off and as soon as Arizona is in a game decided by 2 touchdowns with a minute to play, they put in Kaepernick and the other team lets him score a touchdown and everyone claps then they carry Colin off the field on their shoulders then they finish the game. Seriously, I saw Make-a-Wish do it and everyone completely cool with it.
After Arizona, Atlanta signs him. With any luck you could get through two or three teams each weekend and you could be through the league in a single season. After each team has signed him and let him score a touchdown, the NFL would have iron-clad proof it was not racist and they would not have to worry about this bullshit anymore.

They asked him if he would commit to defunding the cops. He shook his head no and they all booed him and yelled at him as he did the walk of shame through the crowd.
And the city council has a veto-proof voting on defunding. But it is important to see what that vote really was. The headlines deceive people into thinking that one morning they will wake up without a metropolitan police force. But the city has contracts with the police union, which includes the pension funds. That cost ain't going away without expensive lawsuits. The legislation is not available to look over, but it seems that they merely are trying to pass a bill that announces to the public that they are going to look into the matter. This almost always means handing out money to civil rights lawyers and organizations to they can sit around and bitch about things they know nothing about. The plan appears to be where they include more automated traffic cameras for citations, and to hand over actual police work to the county sheriff's office. This means that they are trying to remove themselves from any responsibility for anything that happens to one of the grievance groups that runs afoul of the law. Feckless cowards, passing the buck to the county rather than showing any leadership. Posted by: 🐧 at June 07, 2020 11:31 PM (qibYB) Posted by: Bitter Clinger at June 07, 2020 11:31 PM (QW9VZ) 492

People who supported "root causes" and social remedies to crime became disillusioned when those who they wanted to redeem robbed them, mugged them, murdered them, and saying "I'm a liberal" didn't shield them in the slightest. How do you rebuild the burned out areas? Many businesses will never come back, especially with no credible police or legal protection.

Bruges was more like the stereotype perfect little Euro city, gorgeous center square, good food. I went only because my travel agent, back when there were travel agents, said his favorite restaurant was there. So we stayed at its hotel, and had a dinner, which was really good, but what we both remember most about it was coming down in the morning for breakfast, to "Would you like a boiled egg?" We would. It was soft-boiled, served in a little egg cup, and, as with the German Meat Breakfasts, one could imagine being addicted to it if one persisted at the habit long enough.

Change the name back to the Spanish Netherlands, hand it over to the Bourbon Felipe VI, rather than the parvenu "House of Belgium", and all will be well.

521 I have heard that is the best city to visit in Belgium. Unfortunately I missed Bruges but did go to Brussels.
Posted by: Quint at June 07, 2020 11:41 PM (hHxp2) I have made only brief visits to each. Brussels seemed without soul, redeemed only by the unsurpassed excellence of its fresh chocolates and fries. Bruges was more like the stereotype perfect little Euro city, gorgeous center square, good food. I went only because my travel agent, back when there were travel agents, said his favorite restaurant was there. So we stayed at its hotel, and had a dinner, which was really good, but what we both remember most about it was coming down in the morning for breakfast, to "Would you like a boiled egg?" We would. It was soft-boiled, served in a little egg cup, and, as with the German Meat Breakfasts, one could imagine being addicted to it if one persisted at the habit long enough. Posted by: Splunge at June 07, 2020 11:50 PM (dOV9E) cool info there Splunge. The only tidbit of travel advice I can think of at this moment is the comparison between Oxford and Cambridge. Now I have not been to Cambridge, but I have been to Oxford. It is really a hectic, almost dirty town. Sure there are some nice sites and really old colleges, but the place itself is not worth visiting imo unless you have a good reason. While i have not been to Cambridge, it is often described as what tourists think of when they think of Oxford. Posted by: Quint at June 07, 2020 11:54 PM (hHxp2) 555

I've been reading through the justifications for abolishing the police, and the key belief is that all crime is economic - so if society guarantees an adequate basic income, there will no longer be any incentive to commit crimes.
This ignores that most violent crime isn't economic, and assumes that if you provide a thug with $3,000 a month, that the thug will have no incentive to supplement that by robbing people. Posted by: The ARC of History! at June 08, 2020 12:00 AM (I2/tG) 573

The Legal Insurrection article comments actually have some good suggestions for some needed reforms in the police departments. It's a shame those can't be considered, rather than the knee jerk reactions of "The Squad" and others, but that would mean that that they'd have to have serious discussion with actual police. The Squad is not serious. They are reactionary.

1 hour in Congo (then still Zaire). Stopover in Kinshasa coming from Luanda, Angola, en route to Brussels.
Two Dolph Lundgren lookalikes in PSD (think Blackwater contractor) outfits, with Uzis, step on board with some guy whose looks I forget. The chief purser on the flight, who I'd been chatting with, spent a few minutes with them, looking over little pieces of paper and talking. When it's all done (and the guys who came on and started spraying some kind of insecticide in the air, as you would in an orchard, pretty amazing, had finished), doors close and the purser comes back towards my seat. She rolls out the duty free cart and places several little brown paper bags, with notes stapled to them, in a lockable lower compartment. "What was that all about?" I asked her. "Oh, about a million $ worth of diamonds". Dead pan. A more police-like pair of armed guards came on the plane in Brussels and took the bags as we were all "de-planing". That was different.

I made the mistake of wandering into a Muslim neighborhood in Brussels a couple years ago. I took a wrong turn from my hotel during a meeting break and ended up in a scary place. Actually had a somewhat less militant Muslim suggest I leave the area toot sweet and walked me to the edge of the neighborhood. Remember the bombings at the Brussels airport a couple years ago?

Well my question was mostly weak rhetorical question trolling, as the implied answer is always clear.
But I agree we're not voting our way out of *much* of this, maybe some. The collapse of standards, the cultural rot in academia, media, the hollowing out of the civic culture - those might be corrected over time, though that's a steep hill, but won't be much affected by election results now. As I lack ace's time machine I'm stuck with today's situation, so hoping that Trump proves to be a major speed-bump. A real change of direction is a tall order, but delaying actions and little "counter-strokes" (think von Manstein in 1942) are welcome. Posted by: rhomboid at June 08, 2020 12:32 AM (El6T/) 658

RE: "replacing Biden"
For the reality challenged, lemme run down a few inconvenient facts for ya: 1) Biden ALREADY has more pledged delegates than required to clinch the nomination. 2) DNC rules REQUIRE pledged delegates to vote for the candidate to whom they're pledged on the first ballot, unless they're released by that candidate. (The DNC initiated this longstanding rule because some "George Wallace delegates" from MI went to the '72 DEM convention & voted to nominate... McGovern.) 3) Whenever I try to point these things out, i.e., that the ONLY way Biden isn't nominated is if he dies first, people start talking about "the super delegates"! The super duper super delegates don't get to vote until the SECOND ballot. 4) There won't be any second ballot in Milwaukee. It has been re-located to Fantasy Island--- "Look, Boss! Ze plane! Ze super delegates are here!" P.S. Biden. Is. Winning. I wish it were otherwise. And I think Trump will win reelection, but right now, almost all of the polls show Biden ahead by 7 points (often more than 7 points) nationally. YOU may not believe in polls, but the DEM delegates & county chairpersons DO. This goes to the fact that the DEMs don't WANT to replace Biden, because... they think, rightly or wrongly, that he'll beat President Trump. Posted by: mnw at June 08, 2020 12:45 AM (Cssks) 686

I do think it's prudent to consider Romney as a Dem vote for many situations. GOP needs to actually increase its Senate total.
And aside from judicial nominations, Senate is already a major impediment to Trump, which will become more obvious to more people if there's a GOP House (not unlikely). I'm not even including the Dems' obstruction here, just GOP passive-aggressive stuff. Though with McCarthy as Speaker, and most of the rest of the current leadership .... the sitzkrieg obstruction of 2017-18 is a likely scenario, even "with both houses". Even with a monster victory in November, to include both houses - which I think is a decent possibility - I wouldn't bet a dime on major legislative accomplishments in a 2nd term.

P.S. Biden. Is. Winning. I wish it were otherwise. And I think Trump will win reelection, but right now, almost all of the polls show Biden ahead by 7 points (often more than 7 points) nationally. YOU may not believe in polls, but the DEM delegates & county chairpersons DO. This goes to the fact that the DEMs don't WANT to replace Biden, because... they think, rightly or wrongly, that he'll beat President Trump.
------- I agree that they think he is winning, but he isn't. The trouble with their feel good favorite polls with significant undersamples of Trump voters is that they give themselves hope, so don't fix the polling. Trump is winning in the small number of polls that aren't crap. Most importantly he is winning the battleground state polls. Nation polls are meaningless since they have such a huge over sample from CA that will probably vote 2:1 against Trump. Posted by: Dave in Fla at June 08, 2020 12:59 AM (5p7BC) 711

96% party approval with a talented incumbent who was persuasive enough to rise about the noise about how he was going to destroy the entire world economy and couldn't be trusted to do foreign policy. Against "the most qualified candidate in history" and a "historic first".
Democrats can try and pretend that number away all they want. If they wish real hard and clench their asses real tight and hold their breath maybe it won't hurt as much as 2016. But I remember 2012.

These are done often by firms with close ties to the state, or the sampling company is in state. They have a methodology that they believe reflects the state voting patterns.

Have some pity for the mayor of Minneapolis. He bent the knee and still came up empty because he would not disband the police force. The mob demands full insanity, and he's only got 80% or so. Out, Out, you counterrevolutionary!

So, here in Seattle, the cops put up a hard barrier at intersection with a softer barrier up the block near the police station. Protesters already breached outer barrier, have used lasers on the cops, and are moving toward the soft barrier. My brother, who is watching, says they are now within 10 feet of cops-too close for grenades?

I had to look up the law on this. Generally the rule, if the "trash" is still on someone's property, it's illegal to take or go through it (trespassing and/or theft). However, if the "trash" is placed in a public place, which the curbside counts as, then it is abandoned, and not illegal to take or go through. This is in general. There are all sorts of exceptions in many localities. Some have it where only the trash collection can touch it.

Hillary was named "Most Admired Woman in America" in a *poll* every year but one from 1997 through 2016 and then she was given one pity one in 2017.
My point is she had a marketing campaign to beat all of them plus a million and one vile lies about Trump amplified at 1,000 decibels for 18 straight months... and Trump single-handedly dismantled the bitch.

All of those polls showing Felonia Pantsuit was going to win in a landslide, that "pussy grabber" vid, all the crap thrown at Trump - and yet, I couldn't believe people actually liked that nasty old crone. And I lived in the city then and didn't see any Trump signs. I was so depressed on election day - until Florida was called. This year, the amount of shit being thrown at him is incredible - the Wuhan flu and lockdown, the riots, the media, generals and Establishment Republicans denouncing him, just constant. I really think they're trying to exhaust the American people so much, they'll vote for a senile man just because they want peace and quiet.

"From an old friend, Kim du Toit. Late of South Africa, but a Bloody Yank since '89.
https://tinyurl.com/y8jo8c9v It'll lead you to an essay, the title of which is "Let Africa Sink". Jim New Dawn Oh my Jim, that essay--from 2002--is scarily prescient about what is at stake in the US right now. du Toit talks about Western civilization as having tamed chaos via rule of law, and by virtue of self reliance. These are two fundamentals that are being thrown out the window with both fists right now by the so-called establishment. And it also causes me to think about two persons that have brought us so much misery this year--namely Bill Gates and Deborah Birks--both having spent a lot of time in Africa with supposedly great results but I'm not seeing it. We have a neighbor with whom we are friendly. His incredibly accomplished family left South Africa (Jo-burg) about 35-40 years ago.

Fuck Federal regulations. I just learned something I did not know. I had a ballast go out in one of my 8' fluorescent lights in the shop. Well, I knew they were phasing out the old magnetic ballasts and requiring electronic ones. They are wired a bit differently, which means changing the fixture wiring a bit. But I learned that T12 lamps have been banned. Manufacturing was ordered to cease in 2012. They could continue to sell existing stock, and even produce the existing lines that were set up, but nothing new after then. T12s are thus getting scarce.

Great piece, Jim. Posted by: groovygirl at June 08, 2020 01:48 AM (ybC9u) You should dive deep into the archives of everything that is Kim DuToit. One of the earliest hard core bloggers, even predating Ace. I've known him, dined and drank with him, shot with him and been humbled in literary chops by him, snice '03, at least. Not to mention being a guest at his home, and knowing his late wife Connie, from health to ..well.. RIP, Connie. There once was a world as wide around Kim du Toit, as now exists around Ace of Spades. To be sure, it was a far more gun-centric world, but it also had it's gastronomes, literary ardents and all around Patrons of the Arts. Not a few of which, still lurk around these parts. I'll ask this again at another, fresher thread. But how many here are also current or former throng of the Kim du Toit website(s), over the years? *wild Forrest Gump wave here* Jim Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX Posted by: Jim at June 08, 2020 01:58 AM (QzJWU) 851

I was just looking. Lowe's still has some in stock, but they are getting expensive. Around $18 - $20 for two. $70 for a big box. T8s (or even T5s) are what you have to replace them with, if you go with fluorescents (and yes, the make LED replacements, and I think they are T8 factor as well). The electronic ballasts will drive both T8s and well as T12s (the one that are rated for T12). To retrofit and old fixture, you'd need to replace the ballast, and maybe even the sockets depending. The 96" T8s have the same size pins, I think, and will fit right in.

"I am thinking there will not be a second wave." Redbanzai
I agree. There were a couple of pieces this weekend discussing this. The virus has reportedly weakened and become less virulent. Docs in AZ and elsewhere have examined samples, detecting one less gene in the virus. I can say from the figures I keep--and have since data first posted, that US has now tested over 6% of population, and overall now stands at only 56% active vs. total infections. Case fatality rate (artificially high we know) is down by over 50 b.p. Hospitalization rate continues to trend to new lows, as does % positive of those tested (latter below 10% now). Might be part of why the stock market surged Fri--not just the better job numbers. Meanwhile, total cognitive dissonance on the streets of large blue led cities.

@804. I followed that election. Trump had energy and mega rallies. Hillary couldn't even stand up at times. She spent more time giving speeches to her rich supporters in California and NY than on a campaign trail. Some of her rallies were not even open to the press. And of course she had the media on her side. She was stunned and the MFM was stunned when Trump won.

Fuck Federal regulations. I just learned something I did not know. I had a ballast go out in one of my 8' fluorescent lights in the shop. Well, I knew they were phasing out the old magnetic ballasts and requiring electronic ones. They are wired a bit differently, which means changing the fixture wiring a bit.
But I learned that T12 lamps have been banned. Manufacturing was ordered to cease in 2012. They could continue to sell existing stock, and even produce the existing lines that were set up, but nothing new after then. T12s are thus getting scarce. Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at June 08, 2020 01:50 AM (rCwaK) Just shitcan the fluorescent luminaires, and put in some plastic Edison base sockets, and screw in some "hundred watt equivalent" LED bulbs. They are becoming quite cheap, and throw off a lot of light; more light for the same power consumption than fluorescents. And if one bulb craters, just unscrew it, and screw a new one in. And you can do it on a high ceiling with one of those basket do-hickeys, and not even have to climb a ladder. They also make LED replacements for the various sizes of fluorescent tubes, but they are not real cheap, and if X number of diodes go bad, the tube is shot. The LED "bulbs" are cheap enough to be throwaways. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 08, 2020 02:39 AM (I8jp8) 907

Quint,
I hear you re. Condi Rice. I think her judgement is poor, particularly regarding the Iraq war (and the lack of planning for what we would do after we won), as well as the idea that the Middle East wanted democracy. Both policies more based on optimistic wish fulfillment than reality. Trump is far better at a more real politik approach. But, I do think she has some principles--and for sure she is lightyears above the foreign policy jerks on the left. And she is at the Hoover Institute which has some terrific folks, like Victor Davis Hanson. Maybe she is older and wiser? The thing is, I do understand her proclivity toward believing that the old school, supposedly "noble" pols/gov't were basically sound. She was way to naive in not figuring out the schemes and huge buckets of cash sloshing around traditional Washington. Posted by: groovygirl at June 08, 2020 02:41 AM (ybC9u) 910

Again, the purpose is to make us feel overwhelmed and alone. And I do feel that way sometimes. Still gonna vote for Trump.
Posted by: Donna&&&&&&&V at June 08, 2020 02:00 AM (HabA/) Voting for Trump is about the only thing politically I have actual control over. Besides actually liking the job Trump's done overall (I was on board the Trump Train when he descended the escalator announcing his candidacy and there were Blog Wars here about that), what choice is there, really? On top of that, who can ever trust a Democrat to never go full commie? Some Ds are out and proud commies, some hide their commie bona fides, but all Dems are Big Government commies. I'm getting like an old school Dem only voting for the candidate on the ballot with a (D) after their name. I now have no choice but to do the (R) thing, even voting for a shitweasel like Romney (R). Two Americas. I'm only saddened by the thought that once I die, I vote Democrat for all eternity. Posted by: RickZ at June 08, 2020 02:44 AM (Y8PSl) 914
Probably, yeah, but I don't think it will affect
anything. People already inclined to vote for Trump will blame BLM, and people inclined to vote for Biden will blame Trump (yeah, that doesn't make sense, but... Democrats). Posted by: Ace's liver at June 08, 2020 02:36 AM (wGeit) This time we'll have the HCQ cocktail, because they can't keep lying about that. Also, Joe Biden won't be on the ticket. C'mon, man.

I'll have to stick with my 8' fixtures. This is out in my shop, a Butler Building (my father put it up in the early '70s) with about a 20' ceiling. The light fixtures are mounted on the beams,and are actually part of the raceway for the wiring. Conduit it, 8' fixture trough, conduit out to the next fixture. Putting Edison base lamps would be a MAJOR rewire. I'll go with the T8s and ballast replacement if need be. This will be the second ballast that went out, and if that keeps up as slow as its been, I'll be fine for a while.

Printer power cord was unplugged for several months, maybe six. Now we did have a couple of power bumps here last week, and maybe the tower sent some spike down the 5 volt line in the USB cable, and fried the I/O in printer? Or maybe it's just Canon's built-in death gene. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at June 08, 2020 03:00 AM (I8jp8) 935
Publius,
My husband is good at determining which fixture/bulb type etc. My role is only to opine on the "color" of the light. Will say though that those little Bell and Howell lights that they sell on TV are terrific to illumine the floor and find dropped nuts, nails, contact lenses, small earrings, etc. And they are really compact too.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Rapscallion of a Poperin Pear at June 08, 2020 02:57 AM (rCwaK) What you do, is take the tubes out, remove the metal plate behind them that covers the ballast and wires, and take out the ballast. Use a 2" holesaw to cut four to six holes in that cover plate, and then screw white porcelain or plastic sockets over those holes, using sheet metal screws. Wire between the sockets on the bench, and leave 12" black and white pigtails on each end, to be connected to the through wires with wire nuts. You might need pigtails at only one end, or the middle, depending upon how the power to the ballast was provided. You're making mods only to the fixtures, not the building wiring.

Today, I'm making my friend's version of homemade Rice-A-Roni.
The basic starting point, to be adjusted after the first try, is just less than 1 cup rice and just less than one-quarter cup cut spaghetti (fideo), browned in butter, with chicken or beef bouillon and two cups of water. Some garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric and paprika, plus some parsley and some ground celery seed (ingredients from the box). Herb/spice amounts will be adjusted for the second go-round. I saw an on-line recipe calling for less rice and more pasta, and may end up doing that after this trial run. I figure it's way cheaper, more batches for less money, to use rice I already have, bouillon I already have, dried herbs and spices I already have, plus buying a box of fideo, than buying the name brand in a box. Also a lot less chemical ingredients too complicated to pronounce. Plus, the next time I can add grated cheese or vegetables and other stuff to make whatever version I like. We shall see. The fideo can also be used in a chicken or beef noodle soup, so there's that, too. For a beef noodle soup, I'll probably buy something like bone-in beef shin and boil it for a couple of hours to get a broth, removing the meat from the bone and cutting it up, then adding the noodles to cook with carrots, celery, dried herbs, spices, etc. I think fideo will become my new multi-tasking pasta.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 08, 2020 04:25 AM (dLLD6) I will check into that one. Sure you don't need a Brown, but I do like that bobtail. I know it is offered as an after market change and maybe some others are doing it know. I never was big on the ambi safety but of course if you are a lefty, it is a must have. I always worried that my trigger finger would keep it from releasing. It can also be an issue with your holster I would think. But many love them and add them in so it is just preference. I have a Kimber Custom II which I love. I have good leather for it too but it seems really heavy compared to my mouse guns.

My husband has been complaining for several days that he keeps smelling gasoline fumes in our apartment. At one point he began wondering if we had an Antifa terrorist making Molotov cocktails next door or right below us. But I did NOT smell anything like that and neither did our daughter. We can smell everything else just fine. We cannot find any possible source for this smell in our apartment or outside. Tonight he woke up around 3:30 and insisted on opening all our windows and propping the front door open (!!) to air out this alleged smell. I googled "imaginary smells" online and apparently this is a common problem... often an indication of a sinus infection or allergy. Of course Dr Google also says it could be a sign of some dire condition like stroke, seizures or brain tumors... but I'm thinking sinus infection because he has had those before, plus he's been freaking out about the threat of riots, etc. for the past two weeks. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Bruce, those feeder flowers are all yellow. But one style has small, rounded petals. The other one has large, fluted petals. My money is on the fluted ones but the only hummer who showed up yesterday got run off by a hornet so the jury remains out. I'll let you know if they show a preference.

Beautiful day here yesterday. Spent a couple of hours in the yard doing some light mowing and general stuff.
A cold Chimay in the afternoon, sitting on the deck, watching the bird feeders being busy again. Maybe the hawk left the area. Posted by: Bruce at June 08, 2020 05:31 AM (vd8XM) 1079
At first it was only in one particular spot, now he says it's everywhere. I still don't smell anything like what he's describing. He hasn't left the apartment for more than a few minutes at a time for several days.
Posted by: Secret Square at June 08, 2020 05:32 AM (9WuX0) 1080
Coming out of lurking to tell Secret Square that "phantom smells" like that happen all the time to me, too (usually either popcorn, strawberries, or...cigarette smoke, ugh). I have no brain problems, but I do have massive seasonal allergies. I'm pretty sure phantom smells are usually benign, but if you're worried, it doesn't hurt to get checked out by a doc.
Posted by: JediArashi at June 08, 2020 05:33 AM (iHy1k) 1081
He also says the smell is worse when he leans or bends over
Posted by: Secret Square at June 08, 2020 05:35 AM (9WuX0) 1082
Secret Square, I think you may have hit on something. See if you can get him outside for longer than a couple of minutes. It may be something as simple as needing fresh air.

Posted by: Secret Square It's strange how some can detect different odors anyway. My dad had lost the sense of smell in childhood. My mom was always smelling "something" and then trying to find it. Once there was an odor coming out of the fridge that only she was smelling. She looked thru the leftover (cool whip) containers and could find nothing. She was sure it was the "freon" leaking out of the fridge. After a few weeks she went thru everything again and discovered a container of leftover beans that had started up it's own bio-system. Broke her heart to throw out the cool whip container Posted by: Bruce at June 08, 2020 05:37 AM (vd8XM) 1084
A change in posture could cause a change in nasal pressure, maybe...? I'm with Skip: keep an eye out for any other odd behavior or things.

Politics is not the answer to our problems.
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. If we lived by that. If we only lived by that. But politics will just keep dividing people. It's the nature of the beast. Posted by: Case Yup, about politics being divisive. And the left really want it that way. If you are an R, then you are evil and stupid, and we must block Rs from speaking at colleges etc. It used to be that Rs and Ds, maybe they were like the Yankees and the Red Sox. There was rivalry, but also respect. I do not have a good analogy for the current situation. There is such hatred generated toward conservative/traditional/whatever the hell we are/people, it justifies everything to the left. All sorts of violence, Obamagate, completely biased news, etc. Civility is gone. Posted by: MikeM at June 08, 2020 05:46 AM (tBXtC) 1087
He also says he does not smell it outdoors. He smells it slightly when he enters the apartment building and more strongly when he enters our apartment. I do not smell it at all but I have no difficulty smelling other things. Maybe there is some kind of mold or dust floating around in the apartment that is triggering it?

Posted by: Secret Square Strange indeed. Maybe check the garbage cans, and the fridge. Or any drains that aren't used on a regular basis. Floor drains can be a problem. The water dries up and gas can come in. Of course it's probably not a gasoline smell, but you never know Posted by: Bruce at June 08, 2020 05:50 AM (vd8XM) 1091

Pretty sure J.J. will be covering this shortly, but I can't help but post this quote from the Einsteins running the Minneapolis City Council:
"We are here today to begin the process of ending the Minneapolis Police Department and creating a new transformative model for cultivating safety in our city. We recognize that we don't have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does." Oh, with the likes of 'Illin Omar and that AG, that "police-free future" will look a lot like what goes on in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

Compared to other majority black African nations Botswana is quite a success story--stable, democratic (small d) government, significant improvement in standards of living -- but the media never talks about it.

I saw a pic where the rioting scum vandalized an Abraham Lincoln statue, spray painting names black names all over it and calling for "a new world." It infuriates me the desecration they're allowed to freely engage in, with zero consequences. I mean, blinding rage bubbles up.
I believe the picture that has been circulating was photoshopped. There was some vandalism but nothing like the spray painted Lincoln statue. Posted by: Diesel Jones at June 08, 2020 07:47 AM (0CeRG) 1270

The weather here is overcast and nasty hot, but not really raining. The forecast suggests thunderstorms, but not heavy rain. I might be able to dodge out to gas up the car and hit the grocery today instead of tomorrow.

In what world does this make any sense?
_________________ In the same world where a Dim-run city council, and a Dim-run police force, and a Dim-funded and controlled police union, and a Dim-state governor, and a Dim-state legislature have been making legal and police policy and controlling the Dim-voting police force for decades. But when something goes wrong with the Dim police force, it's not the Dim's fault. It's Donald Trump's fault and "white supremacism's" fault!

This story with the horses may have been the Tulsa OK incident, where no horses were present....
But the farm owner said that he was not referring to that one, but another incident. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at June 08, 2020 07:51 AM (3D/fK) 1282

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at June 08, 2020 07:49 AM I unfortunately do not doubt that it happened. It's just so horrifying, I can't even make sense of who would do something like that. I can make sense of vandalism and destruction of property and arson and looting. But senseless murder of animals in such a cruel way (burning them alive). Madness.

Minneapolis, Minn. has been under Democratic control since 1978. Chicago has been under Democratic control for 89 years; its present mayor is a black woman. Philadelphia has had Democratic mayors for 68 years; three of its last five mayors have been black men. Six of the last seven Atlanta, Ga., mayoral administrations were led by black Democratic mayors, and the present mayor is a black woman.

Working for the NBA is just like slavery you know. Especially having to buy your own bling. Posted by: Ripley at June 08, 2020 07:50 AM Yeah, the irony of athletes and "celebrities" whining and complaining through all this. They have been the biggest benefactors of "white supremacy" and capitalism in the history of the world. Becoming multi-millionaires for playing games or playing make believe on TV or in movies. And yet there they are aligning themselves with marxist domestic terror groups whose goal is to destroy the very system which made them rich. Stupid, stupid times...

Unfortunately I doubt there will ever be major, mass uprising by conservatives and norms to put an end to this shit. Things will just continue to descend to third world chaos and poverty, despite Trump[s best efforts. However there very well may be a civil war and it will be between the hard core racialist left and the mostly white LGBT-feminist-environmnetalist-acadmemic left.
The latter will be begging what is left of conservatives/norms to save them after a few weeks. Posted by: Ripley at June 08, 2020 07:57 AM (MxEKc) 1294

I can only hope that this madness is just another moment where the left is pushed sooo far to the left, that they literally can't come back from it. All positions will become, or have already become, "defund the police." It is now going to be solidified as part of their platform, because the crazies say so. If you don't parrot that exact sentiment, no elected office for you. Good. Ha! Great, sensible position to put yourselves in.

How odd that our forefathers put forth that Lady Justice must be blind to the race, sex and economic status of the suspect in order to administer justice fairly.
And under our proposed changes, Lady Justice must first be told the race, sex and economic status of the person on trial in order be fair. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at June 08, 2020 08:01 AM (3D/fK) 1300
