If they really want a pastime to become a marxist political lecture for their viewers,
then we should deny them our "votes". ie. dollars and viewership.
And teach them that their extremely well-paid careers playing games, are strictly entertainment and a fun pastime for us. And nothing else.
And if they want our viewership and dollars, the STFU and play ball.
Bu-u-u-u-ut, it's just a dream. A beautiful, beautiful dream.

I read a whole book this week. I'm going to wait until the book thread to disclose what it was, but it was good.
I only read it because we lost power for two days. When it came back the teevee said parts of New Jersey won't get power until Tuesday. How hard is electricity?
That's a semi-serious question. I figured I was out of electricity because I live in an obscure part of the state that no one cares about, but NJ in general is a rich state, how can they not fix electricity?
Does it have something to do with monopolies and corruption?

Breaking: Gov. Gretchen Whitmer traveled to Delaware last weekend to meet with Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's first known in-person session with a potential running mate as he nears decision. She visited Biden Sunday, 2 high-ranking Mich. Ds tell __AP
Flight records show a chartered plane left Lansing's Capital Region International Airport for Delaware Coastal Airport at 5:33 p.m. Sunday and returned at 11:16 p.m. Gov's office says it won't comment on her personal schedule. Biden's campaign declines to comment.
Days after the trip, Whitmer notably held a news conference to declare racism a public health threat, create an advisory council of Black leaders, require all state employees to do implicit bias training.

Heading to Hazleton PA today to see grammy, who is going to hospice within a few weeks. I don't think they can have visitors there, which is terrible. She had a (another?) mini-stroke this morning but mom/dad/mom's sisters are there, so she's still OK as of a few hours ago. I'll be there tonight around midnight.

From the sidebar: Hearing Andy McCarthy describe Susan Rice as "competent" is the last I will ever read from him.
He was as shill for the FBI until they figuratively peed their illegality on his forehead, and yet he regards one of the most inept and corrupt advisors in American history as "competent."
At what? She couldn't even organize a successful coup?
Sorry, the whole "They're screwing everything up as part of an evil plan" thing doesn't work anymore. They had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve and failed spectacularly. Their "success" was entirely the media sponging up all the blood from their failures.

A fun fuzzy memory for those of us 29+ or ++...
Anyone remember that show in the 60's, I think, about a guy, Micheal Parks, riding around the country on a motorcycle and solving everyone's problems?
Bronson, I think it was.

Then Came Bronson if I recall correctly. Like Route 66 except on a cycle instead of in a Corvette.

The Democrats are literally worse than the Nazis.
The House has
passed a bill directing the National Park Service to remove all
Confederate monuments and such from historic battlefields such as
Gettysburg, Manassas, Vicksburg, Antietam, and others within six months.

67 > First in-person meeting for potential VP choice is... Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Trump will have a field day with all the old people she murdered.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia (kneels to no one on this Earth) at August 08, 2020 09:17 AM
Other than that, which the media will cover for her anyway, she probably has the least baggage of any of the options so far. And she's a Governor. Executive experience. Which will come in handy when she takes over as President when Biden is shuffled off to a nursing home in February 2021.
Makes the most sense of any of the choices floated.
She's also showed she will spar with Trump, as she's had her war of words with him since COVID-19 stuff started in March. And the press already had the "The Woman in Michigan" or whatever it was puff piece on her.
The only thing she doesn't have in her favor is she's not a minority.

That's a semi-serious question. I figured I was
out of electricity because I live in an obscure part of the state that
no one cares about, but NJ in general is a rich state, how can they not
fix electricity?
Does it have something to do with monopolies and corruption?

It's incompetence and greed.
Is your power supplied by a municipality? Ours is, and as the Lost Decade of Michigan took its toll on public revenues, the City of Lansing began to use its power company as a piggy bank, neglecting regular maintenance. When the Great Ice Storm hit in 2012, we were out for a week, even though the power plant is only a few miles from my house.
Now just about every house in my leafy, affluent neighborhood has a generator - something unknown when I was growing up here.
But back then, our leaders took this shit seriously.

I don't know either, but when I mentioned it to a neighbor (who is a home care nurse), she said that she knows of one that has patios outside the rooms so there's no need to screen visitors. But that's here, not there.

He's been either blinded to the awful state of affairs by years of association with the few basically honest people in government, or he's as corrupt as the rest of them but just has a better mask.

BTW, the only thing that makes Whitmer look like a leader is her ability to rule by decree. If that obscure 1945 law (which apparently supersedes the Constitution of 1963) gets rightfully struck down, she's going to be utterly powerless.
Her approval was close to 40 percent before this started. I see it reverting to below that once she can't legislate by fiat.

==================
We lose power nearly every time it rains. PSEG is not a utility, it's a ponzi scheme. Once upon a time, they installed a new meter at my house and their technician did it incorrectly. Took them two months to fix it and they billed me for the estimated lost revenue and a $500 fine. I wrote a complaint letter to the CEO. Denied. I wrote to the state public utilities commission. Nothing. No response.
Power poles are put in the ground without sufficient depth for support, so they sag. Lines are overloaded. Extra wire is left on the poles. The whole PSEG way of operating is the sloppiest. least supervised effort I have ever seen, but they pay nothing for their errors. In fact, as my earlier example shows, they get away with fining the customer for their mistakes.

I remember driving to visit my in-laws in Kentucky and having to stow it in a locked case upon reaching Ohio, since Michigan didn't have reciprocity with them for a couple of years. We did with Kentucky, just not Ohio.
I could've gone through Indiana, but that would have pushed an 8-hour trip into 12 hours, which was not going to work with three kids.
Glad when it got changed.

Vmom -- Already been through both authors. Have Andrews' next two books on pre-order from Amazon. Plowing my way through Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse books at the moment. Been through all of Huff's Victory Nelson books, Mark Del Veccio's Conor Greys, Kim Harrison's Hallows books (including American Demon), Darynda Jones' and Ghu alone knows what else. I took a running leap at Hamilton's Anita Blake's and barely made it through the first twenty five pages of so. Not interested in Robb's Eve Dallas series. I'm patheic.

It didn't get a lot of press, but hours after Whitmer tightened restrictions on Northern Michigan, she held the annual Pass in Review for the National Guard troops.
Which was in violation of her own order, thereby putting National Guardsman at risk. (You can debate how much, but if her order was because crowds of 500+ are too dangerous, than it was putting them at risk.)
Local media didn't pick up on it too much, but I'm sure that will change if she gets the nod.

That would be me, Bandersnatch. We got power back yesterday for four hours. Disconnected the generator, drained it and packed it away. By the time that was finished, power was off again. Seems a pole down the street lit up. Estimated return of power: 11:30PM Tuesday, 8/11 (it was moved up from 11:45PM!)

I remember driving to visit my in-laws in Kentucky and having to stow it in a locked case upon reaching Ohio, since Michigan didn't have reciprocity with them for a couple of years. We did with Kentucky, just not Ohio.
I could've gone through Indiana, but that would have pushed an 8-hour trip into 12 hours, which was not going to work with three kids.
Glad when it got changed.

90 -- A dear friend of many, many years was in the hospital a few years back. Her daughter called to tell me my friend was to be moved to hospice the next day. I canceled all after work plans to go visit my friend, figuring her family would prefer not to be disturbed once she was in hospice. Sadly, she died while I was visiting. Her husband and daughter had left to run a couple of errands. I was sad, but I figured she was spared the misery of yet another bumpy trip to a new facility. I'm sure, though, that she would have preferred to die at home with her husband, her daughter, and the cat.

The reason I'm not as optimistic is that our side is unwilling to "look political" by exposing or prosecuting "close to an election". Since when is protecting criminals so they can be elected a function of the DOJ?
If precious little Durham has evidence then he should go ahead, if he doesn't then he should go away and stop wasting money.

The amazing part to me is that they got caught. If Hillary had won, which pretty much everybody thought was going to happen, they would have gotten away with it. And if Zelensky hadn't won in Ukraine, even more improbable the totality of it wouldn't be known.
If Trump wins I think what will come out over the next few years will be mind boggling.

Leftists eagerly trade liberty for security. They can't wait to give it up! They control academia and have turned it into a Gulag.
It's their thing.
Plus, it allows them to do punish their enemies with impunity. Not pesky laws, courts or rights to worry about.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at August 08, 2020 09:38 AM (cfSR
It doesn't look like the left has given up much liberty. They get to "protest", be political, say anything they want about anyone, threaten their enemies, and do whatever the hell they want. It's the rest of us who have to worry about following the "rules".
Are any of Barr's arrested rioters actually still in jail awaiting trial? Probably very few, and the blue cities are releasing their comrades from jails because of covid so that they can jail people for mask infringements.
I don't know what they've given up.

@168...agree in general, but if they thought HRC was a sure thing why'd they go to all the trouble? They knew they were on shaky ground, at least the leadership knew it was no sure thing. And of course they turned it all up to 11 after the election, but much of that...indeed the entire Mueller investigation...was an exercise in ass covering and obfuscation. Getting Trump was by then a secondary concern. A fiasco, all around, orchestrated by fools.

Last night I bid an angry farewell to a family-owned business where I've been a long-time regular customer. I really can't breathe right in those masks, had ridden my bike there in the 90 degree heat just before putting it on and was feeling a bit faint, and as I was headed down an empty aisle I scootched the damn thing down - I swear on this - about 1/4 of an inch below my nose to get a few blessed gulps of air.
The manager must have been watching me on a security camera, as he came rushing over to berate me and tell me I'd have to leave the store if I didn't put my mask back up over my nose.
I set down my 150.00 worth of intended purchases, removed my mask entirely, said "No. And you just lost a regular customer." Turned and walked straight out and made my purchases at a competitor's.
I originally wanted so badly to try and help out the family-owned businesses in particular, but this crap keeps happening and I am at the point where my attitude is: screw 'em.
We've gone from The Customer is Always Right, to The Customer is Always a Disease-ridden Filthbag.

The reason I'm not as optimistic is that our side is
unwilling to "look political" by exposing or prosecuting "close to an
election". Since when is protecting criminals so they can be elected a
function of the DOJ?

It's important to differentiate between Washington leaders and the ones out in the states - which is what will really matter if/when things get hot.
On the state level, the Dems are utterly inept, but the GOP is (mostly) competent. Okay, not great, but this is like....wait for it....the Spanish Civil War.
The Nationalist Army was inferior to just about every major power: France, Germany, Britain - all of them could have wiped the floor with them.
But they were good enough to beat the Republic, which is all they had to do.
RE: Durham, I'm a little disappointed in you. If we have learned nothing over the last four years it is is that *ALL* journalism is a lie. All of it.
The only thing to believe is the actual documents when they come out. If Durham goes home without doing anything, I'll get disappointed then, but not a moment before.

It wasn't just losing a single election, it was about being exposed and losing the criminal infrastructure they had been building domestically and abroad.
It's not a coincidence that after the Russia hoax failed they went straight to the Ukraine hoax.

The whole thing was bogus. They looked back and admitted there were fewer shark attacks that year than in an average year. Fake news before it was cool.

Well, she WAS known at Princeton in the 80s and penned that now-famous thesis which Christopher Hitchens described as being "written in no known language." She's a woman, never fear. A hard-edged, masculine-looking woman (I'm hardly a model of traditional femininity myself, and I get called "sir" over the phone a lot) but still a woman.

Yes. They got away with it. I still feel a white hot rage when I think about Lois Lerner collecting a nice 6 figure pension while she SHOULD be in jail making big rocks into small stones. No one will pay a price for any of their felonies. The death of the republic. There is no law

This, I fail to understand. They're in prison. They're contained. You contain the virus by keeping them locked up.
Treat them, if you must.
Releasing them into the public is insanity and EVERYONE should be in an uproar about this.

RE: Durham, I'm a little disappointed in you. If we have learned nothing over the last four years it is is that *ALL* journalism is a lie. All of it.
The only thing to believe is the actual documents when they come out. If Durham goes home without doing anything, I'll get disappointed then, but not a moment before.

I admire your optimism and wish I could share it. But what distinguishes Durham from Huber? The reports that Huber was doing little turned out to be correct, with Trump calling him a garbage disposal for evidence.
It's been well over a year, and no we hear he's worrying about looking "political"?
Plus Barr seems determined to defend and protect the IC.
I'll believe in his integrity when I see it, right now he looks like nothing. After year and 3 months he finally interviewed Brennan?

Well, she WAS known at Princeton in the 80s and penned that now-famous thesis which Christopher Hitchens described as being "written in no known language." She's a woman, never fear. A hard-edged, masculine-looking woman (I'm hardly a model of traditional femininity myself, and I get called "sir" over the phone a lot) but still a woman.

In her "defense", many of these Princeton Senior theses are utter crap.

It also goes to the fact that none of them will take a bullet for another.
It's all CYA, all the time, which is why someone is going to take a fall, even if it's only symbolic.
I get the impatience, but I sense that what's going on with Flynn would also go on with prosecutions here. They have to nail it all down and get pleas, which means convincing the guilty that a friendly judge won't simply go YOLO and throw the case out.
I mean Flynn should be over. How can you appeal a prosecutor's decision to drop a case??? And what will the remedy be - a court-appointed prosecutor?
How the hell would that even work?
But here we are. So people who think Durham should just file charges already need to keep all that in mind.

"Kaiser Health News, June 23, 2020

They insert the insult and quip (conspiracy theorists all the way up to and including Trump!!!) in an article where THEY are finally getting around to noticing how the numbers are worthless.
Gaslighting while literally writing about the exact thing the "conspiracy theorists" have been pointing out since the whole mess started, all while doctors lose their medical license for questioning the narrative and pharmacists are told not to fill prescriptions because Orange Man Bad.
We are so f*cked.

Tonypete -- In some respects, daughter did retain some of her pre college upbringing. She's is fully employed and has been since the moment she graduated. She married an IT guy with a four year degree. (During the engagement, I always joked that he made more money than the bride's entire family.) They have two kids and she doesn't ask for one single penny. She has been known to beg for child care services when school has abruptly been cancelled.

Texas is isolated from the rest of the country
for tarrif reasons and because TX is still constitutionally kind of its
own country because of the tarif laws. When emp or cw2 takes out the
electrical grid, texas is the only place that will still have power
outside of the hydro, coal/steam, and nuke power plants. Everything
else will be dead broken and not return-able to a useable 'on' state
without long lead repair parts that are made overseas.

Wife and I were discussing Twin Peaks show this morning, another show that started interesting but went no where just like Lost.
Posted by: Skip at August 08, 2020 10:06 AM (OjZpE)
that is likely accurate. I didn't watch Twin Peaks but it was huge in the nerd world. Is that a bad thing to say? I didn't get into Lost until they started hyping the last season like crazy. It was my first binge watch.
I am old school and would have preferred it to be a straight up survival story. But it was fun to watch really. Everyone is mad because so many questions were not answered. But pretty much everyone on that show went on to Hollyweird success.

>>And they've largely succeeded, given over 50% of our "fellow citizens" remain convinced that Trump is Putin's puppet.
Really. Is the CIA and FBI illegally using the NSA database to spy on American citizens without a warrant like they did for virtually the entire Obama administration?
Just because things aren't moving as fast or as publicly as you like, they never will so prepare for disappointment, doesn't mean they got away with it. The goal is to get our country back not just punish the bad guys. It's not easy to break decades of rot and corruption and it sure as hell isn't fast but it's happening.

I don't worry about it. I worry more about the BLM thugs.
But I do see a lack of willingness to prosecute. I suspect a lot of that is born of fear that they will be prosecuted when a dem gets in, and that this flaccid response will prevent that. It won't, but I see that as their rationale.

If Durham does that, it will immediately be called ABUSER OF POWER!#@! IMPEACH!!!11
He has to make the charges stick. The worst result is a case is brought and the accused are found innocent.

oh how I dream of those days to come...
another note about the Texas Power grid; because of state environmental regs and site restrictions, California and some other states have chosen to supply their power through a relatively few, extremely large generating plants. (hydro dams, etc) Texas, on the other hand, due to the ubiquity of nat gas supplies combined with the windfarms in the west half, is supplied by thousands of individual and separate generating plants. It's easy to see which model would be more robust in a time of crisis.

@229...you're right, the timing of Durham revelations, whatever they are, is very important. My bet is a scathing report laying the whole thing out, but only a few indictments: Clinesmith almost certainly, an as yet unknown leaker or two...maybe McCabe and/or Comey if Durham is very ambitious and that snake Brennan is forced to publicly Brennan rat on them. Brennan will skate, probably because behind closed doors he's cooperating. But the timing has to be right. Close enough to election to put Team Biden on constant defense for an impartial time period, but not too far out to allow defendant's legal maneuvering and media lying to offer a real competing "political witchunt" narrative. Labor Day weekend or thereabouts seems right. DJT probably wants it closer to election day, but Barr will likely honor the 60 day "rule" about no big potentially political actions before an election.

And how did that case turn out?
Oh yea, it was thrown out of court due to lack of evidence. In other words it was a bullshit indictment designed to generate some PR not try anyone let alone put anyone in jail.
Durham is looking for evidence of criminality. So are the 4 other US Attorneys who have also been assigned to look at various aspects of what was an enormous conspiracy. I really don't understand why this is so hard to understand, you can do it fast like Mueller (fast being over 2 years) or you can do it right.
Just because you "know" something happened doesn't mean you can prove it in court. Do you know why it took so long to uncover the exculpatory documents on Flynn? 3 years. Because Mueller's corrupt team hid them. I doubt the coup plotters left behind playbooks of every corrupt action they took. It has to be found and they have powerful people playing defense.

250 I require the coffee. Teleworking to EDT today instead of CDT (and damn near MDT). But I gotta do what I gotta do.
Just curious - Do you keep all your work stuff - computer, work phone, on ET?
I live in MT but work in ET and even after 5 years of doing it I get mixed up on the time quite often. I've found that keeping my work laptop and phone (we use Magic Jacks but I run mine through a base unit - basically a cordless phone) on ET helps. But, many of my co-workers who are also working from dufferent time zones don't do that and think I'm crazy.

I wish President Trump would direct the USPS to require special $100 postage for each mail-in ballot. Waive the postage if the voter appears in person at the Post Office, where the clerk would copy his or her I.D. and send it to the election authorities. I'd love to defend against the lawsuit trying to enjoin the President from taking steps to prevent mail fraud, a federal crime.

Democrats don't actually get punished even when found in the wrong. They get tv gigs,huge book deals, speaking engagements. That's why laying it all out there but not indicting them will be totally meaningless. The people on the left won't believe a word of it and they will continue to get paid royally.

Just because you "know" something happened doesn't mean you can prove it in court
-
I think that's part of what is so disheartening.
The things that definitely did happen (altering FISA documents) seemingly aren't being addressed.
That guy can be in jail waiting for other charges.

I absolutely LOVED the Seinfeld Finale! And that's because it was a very DELIBERATE statement about the entire series by Jerry himself, as he said later. It reall DID sum up the entire show, but it was quite a bit too honest for most people to take.
The message, as Jerry himself has said: Can't you see that these 4 main characters are self absorbed, heartless and cruel children? They do no good for anyone, they have NEVER done any good for anyone. They waltz through their lives leaving havoc in their wake, and thinking it's funny. Everyone who knows them should despise them! And if you self-identify with any of them, well you've got a big problem and you should really work on that. Because they are, and always have been, 4 miserable, useless people.

Matt Taibbi wrote a pretty good essay-- that someone here linked yesterday--about how people missed the Trump wave in 2016.
He's a smart kid and he makes some good points--few of which many of us didn't make at one point or another-- but he just can't help himself.
He's "this" close, lefties gotta lefty.

I'm in NJ, and a few families have called out this crap.
My BIL had an 84yo cousin who died recently. They wanted to attribute it to wuflu. She was totally disabled with MS and has had pneumonias in the past, so why not? This was cardiac. I think they're concerned about people running to the internet with medical records.

I've really been enjoying Talking Sopranos with Michael Imperioli (Christufuh) and Steve Schirippa (Bobby Baccala.) Each Sunday evening they put up a new podcast. They have a guest each week, from Sopranos stars like Edie Falco and Lorraine Bracco to writers, costume people, all kinds of interesting people.
Bewteen the two of them they seem to know everyone in the entertainment industry, and they'll just sit and talk TV, movies, directors, actors and just let it fly. If one of them doesn't like someone, they'll let you know. (Paulie Walnuts is apparently a not very pleasant person in real life!) Schirippa was a long-time booker of acts at Vegas casinos and has some great stories from that, and his own family had Mob connections - his dad was a bookie.
Then they eventually get to the particular episode of the week, and Schirippa goes through the script while they talk about the episode. It's just a kind of cool little thing that the two of them originally put together to pass the time during lockdowns, and it took off and has become hugely popular. Even has sponsors now.

Yes, Whitmer's office isn't going to comment on her personal travel plans since her husband screwed up and told a dock installation company that they should come put his dock in on the lakefront house because didn't they know who he was? And that he was up north when travel had been banned in the state for weeks.
I know several hair stylists who were supportive of Whitmer( female stylists love them some girl power) until Whitmer continued the ban on hair salons and barbers opening, and told people they could learn to cut and color their hair on you tube. Salons are open now with major restrictions, but the stylists haven't forgotten or forgiven Whitmer.

their purpose could have been any sort of criminal activity - I saw that in Beirut, that dock area was regularly referred to as "the Cave of Ali Baba (and his forty thieves)" because it was known for such rampant criminality.

Probably. OD's on opiates are due to respiratory failure. So they go for the covid cash.
As for the cousin with MS, the husband tested negative and did not want that banner hanging on him. It wasn't true, and an official quarantine would have forced him to cancel his long delayed back surgery.

The meme that Michelle Obama is a man is so tired and worn out. Considering people have known her since childhood, through school and college, and she has two kids with Barry would mean that literally hundreds of people would have to keep it a secret that she is a man. It's so stupid that it boggles my mind that people keep repeating this crap. And yes, I saw Michelle's video on Ellen and most likely it was microphone wiring they tried to hide or get out of the way, and the material on her pants was not the kind to hide it.
And Joan River's entire professional life involved making nasty comments, and outright lies about people under the guise of being funny.

The finale had its good points no doubt. It was great that they found a way to bring back all the famous characters. But I think there is some back dating going on too. The finale was hugely panned for a reason. It is not like the audience didn't know the characters and they need to have it explained to them. The creators know it went poorly, that is why there were rumors of a reunion show for years and years. Yes, it was a show about nothing. But a bunch of narcissists that are funny end up in prison?
As Biden would say, C'mon man!
the finale. A philosophy major. He hated how characters "evolved" in
sitcoms. Even Archie Bunker becomes a hug-a-bear. So the Seinfeld gang
never changes. Before the coda, it ends with the same lines about
George's buttons that starts the series.

I only read it because we lost power for two days.
When it came back the teevee said parts of New Jersey won't get power
until Tuesday. How hard is electricity?
That's a semi-serious question. I figured I was out of electricity
because I live in an obscure part of the state that no one cares about,
but NJ in general is a rich state, how can they not fix electricity?
Does it have something to do with monopolies and corruption?

I didn't like the Seinfeld finale. Finales usually suck really. The MASH finale was at least a huge ratings success.
==================
MASH finale was quite pleasing - douche Hawkeye made a lady strangle her baby because because he was afraid.
AfterMASH should have followed that up with Hawkeye in the booby hatch because he keeps killing the neighbors chickens and dancing about while shouting, "See! It was a chicken!"
Then they force him to remember he is war criminal. Then back to killing chickens again... rinse, repeat.

Joe and Barry could never do this!
The gap in unemployment between black and white Americans is now at its narrowest point in historical records going back to the 1970s. Typically, black unemployment rarely falls below 200 percent of the white unemployment rate. Even in recessions, when unemployment is generally rising, the racial gap remains close to 200 percent. Last year, as unemployment rates hit historic lows, the gap narrowed to 1.6 to 1, the lowest on record since 1972.

302 -- Tonypete -- Are you sure you can put up with the heavy signs of disappointment that her retrograde parents actually believe conservative conspiracies? And let's not forget her pride at voting for Obama not twice, but *three* times. (She was in Chicago for a semester and voted for him for the Senate. I take that as an example of Chicago corrupt voting practices. At the time, she was attending an Iowa college and her legal residence was Nebraska. How the hell was she permitted to vote in an Illinois election and how the hell does she think it was perfectly acceptable.)

What they didn't address was why it was such a distillation of every fucking annoying aspect of the show, like Kramer hopping on one leg like a retard in a small plane. Dying in a fiery crash would've been a great finale.

Posted by: JoeF. at August 08, 2020 10:33 AM (7ixfo)
This is why they are listed as Covid RELATED, not CAUSED BY Covid.
It is about as subtle as a sledgehammer. But everyone draws the conclusion that it is CAUSED BY Covid and are now upset that the numbers are not they thought they were.
The motorcycle fatality that was Covid RELATED? Maybe the relation was delayed treatment due to kung flu freakout.
Suicides RELATED? It is not hard to draw a connection between increased rates of depression and the kung flu freakout.
etc.

I'll defend my state--this one time. The storm the other day came up relatively quick. Yes, there were warnings, but it still caught most off guard.
To put it in perspective--1.7 million lost power during Hurricane Sandy--for which there were days of warnings and preparation. 1.4 lost power the other day.
That's A LOT of people.
Also, most think of NJ as pure asphalt and oil refineries, an urban wasteland. But there are LOTS of green leafy suburbs--plenty of trees lining long , winding roads that are lined with utility poles, the wires of which are torn down when trees fall --or are UP ROOTED WHOLE--which I witnessed myself the other day. Where does thing tangle of wires and tree limbs fall? ACROSS THE ROAD--making them impassable. So you have to untangle the wires and trees--and then clear the roads before the the power companies can have access.
It takes time, and frankly I'm surprised power is coming back as fast as it is.

We temporarily lost another kid on the hill yesterday. The trouble with raising free-range kids (which is what we do around here) is that they can disappear in the blink of an eye.
Turned out Mom had come and collected him from Grandpa but Grampa hadn't heard her say she was taking the four-year-old. It took a while to reach Mom so the search was well under way.
Still recovering from a mad dash up the hill to check my hot tub.

MASH was part of a lot of our childhoods as it was on of the first syndicated shows that was on all the time. Yeah, it was hugely anti-American. Everyone knows it was supposedly a critique of Vietnam, but even in that it was a joke. And those that served in Korea say that if officers of any kind, acted that way to superiors, they would have been in a world of hurt.
The show was a bunch of lefty Hollyweird types doing their pretend thing in the Southern California hills.

Just because you "know" something happened doesn't mean you can prove it
in court. Do you know why it took so long to uncover the exculpatory
documents on Flynn? 3 years. Because Mueller's corrupt team hid them. I
doubt the coup plotters left behind playbooks of every corrupt action
they took. It has to be found and they have powerful people playing
defense.
Jack, I applaud your stalwart support of the Washington Generals, I'm sure they're going to beat the Globetroters next time they play. But to believe that the DOJ intends to do anything to major swamp rats there are a few unfortunate facts you have to ignore.
There are only two laws protecting our Constitutional rights 18 USC 241 and 242. Those laws are necessary because nobody can be charged in court with violating the Constitution. Those laws have been on the books for 150 years. In that time neither has ever been used to protect any of the Bill of Rights. Read 18 USC 241, and tell me that a first year law student couldn't convict Michael Bloomberg and his "Mom's Demand Action" gun control groups of violating it - even if Bloomberg had OJ's dream team and Perry Mason defending him.
The DOJ had both Lois Lerner, and the FBI lawyer who altered the Carter Page email from the CIA Dead to rights - no possible defense, and declined to prosecute either.
There are many more things I could point out - but just answer those, and I'll buy what you are selling.

>>The DOJ had both Lois Lerner, and the FBI lawyer who altered the Carter Page email from the CIA Dead to rights - no possible defense, and declined to prosecute either.
Are you really shocked that Eric Holder didn't prosecute Lois Lerner? The prosecution was declined under Obama.
Clinesmith is likely going to be indicted for exactly what you noted. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't happen.

I liked MASH, but it was never really funny. Actually, I can't think of a sitcom that I actually found funny. At best they rose to "mildly amusing." I think they're "comedies" as in opposition to "tragedies." I don't know where "histories" fits into this.

The motorcycle fatality that was Covid RELATED? Maybe the relation was delayed treatment due to kung flu freakout.
Suicides RELATED? It is not hard to draw a connection between increased rates of depression and the kung flu freakout.

Ultimately, dead is dead. In any given year, in any given city, state, and nation, people die.
How many are dead now, this year? How many were dead last year? Is there a difference?
Turns out, if you ask the "average" American how many people have died from the China wuww, they will give numbers in the millions. They think there are tens of millions of people dead from this thing.
The problem with arguing about whether the government is fudging numbers or not is that it doesn't matter! We're dealing with a moronic populace, who are brainwashed by the media to believe something that you can't argue away, with quibbling over "died from" or "died with."

I tried for a couple of weeks to get them to fix it, but they don't return my calls and it needs to get fixed, so I'm caring less about who should fix it and more and more about who is going to get it done.
I think the original installers used maybe 8 cubic inches of concrete to set the post in.

BREAKING NEWS this evening (nearly slipped under the radar on a Friday evening): NPR source says former CIA Director John Brennan has been told he is not a target of prosecutors as he prepares for an interview with John Durham's team
So was Trump. Must give Brennan much comfort.

Of course there are shows that last a long time and still hold up. Frasier and Cheers held up a long time but even they really petered out long before they ended imo.

I haven't seen the show. Might have to check it out.

It was an excellent show about using AIs for security post 9/11 and the ethical quandaries that exist. Because it made people think it never had really high ratings, although people who liked it *really* liked it with Facebook groups discussing it, and CBS pulled the plug on it too early for a really good resolution. I was hooked from the first episode.

I can't speak about Netflix as I don't use that site. And there is a good reason for that. The last show I watched on Netflix was the one with the guy from the Sopranos who was a mobster in Norway. That one ended abruptly too.

>>No, the DOJ has already announced that they are NOT going to prosecute him, I guess you missed that announcement.
Really? Then surely you have a link.

You can stop looking now. The DOJ has not declined prosecution on Clinesmith.

I only read it because we lost power for two days. When it came back the teevee said parts of New Jersey won't get power until Tuesday. How hard is electricity?
That's a semi-serious question. I figured I was out of electricity because I live in an obscure part of the state that no one cares about, but NJ in general is a rich state, how can they not fix electricity?
Posted by: Bandersnatch at August 08, 2020 09:12 AM
Electricity is pretty hard, actually, but they're pretty good at fixing it.
Look, when they say that "power may not be fully restored for months" (like they always say about a major hurricane) they're saying something true, but that's not how you judge progress in such things.
The first thing they do is fix all the major power lines to all their substations. That generally doesn't take very long. Then, they fix the supplies to places like hospitals and such so that people who need care can get it. Then, they fix the power everywhere else starting at the largest group of people without power to the smallest.
Now, usually, power's out because a fuse has blown. Sometimes that's because there's something like a branch on the wire, and that blew the fuse, so basically you have to check the entire wire for shorts and replace the fuse. Sometimes, the fuse will be open, but the line will be energized because some knucklehead has connected his generator to the power grid. The first time around, they just skip over that and go to some place that doesn't have that kind of knucklehead.
Eventually, you run out of easy fixes for power going to thousands of homes and start doing harder fixes and smaller outages. Eventually, you'll wind up doing places where all the poles and transformers providing power to a couple or three houses were wiped out because of the storm and you'll have to do major construction work to get power back on. Places like those two or three houses will take months to get their power back, but most everybody else will have it back in a day or two. A week on the outside.

Do you have a link to when the DOJ announced they weren't going to prosecute Comey for leaks? I suppose that didn't happen either.
The announcement came during the first lockdown when Corona was al the news, all the time, and if I remember correctly it was on a Friday afternoon. I read it on either a legal blog or in a Breitbart story, I'll try to find it.

Anyone remember that show in the 60's, I think, about a guy, Micheal Parks, riding around the country on a motorcycle and solving everyone's problems?
Bronson, I think it was.

==================
IIRC: An opening episode showed a driver going to work, wistfully looking at Bronson on his motorcycle, and saying "Man, I wish I was you."

Andrew McCarthy is, at best, a day late and a dollar short.

He admitted that his long-time defense of Comey was mistaken. But Comey was a bully and a liar even before he went after Trump.
