The Morning Rant - Misanthropic Edition
Unfortunately, I'm not 29 any more. I'm old enough to begin stories, "When I was a youngster." And so goes the story. Early on in life I was attracted to politics and current events. I haven't changed over the years. I learned early on the politics was a "combat sport". See Burr vs. Hamilton or just ask Zombie Barry Goldwater. When I was a kid the only danger in the political arena were the combatants. Average Joe and Jane Citizen were not in danger of rooting for one team over the other. As a kid it was safe to display campaign yard signs and bumper stickers.
The first election I could participate in was Reagan vs. Carter. I'm proud to say I voted for Reagan. Hell, I even had a Reagan bumper sticker on my car. I've had Reagan, Bush, Dole, Bush, Romney and Trump stickers over the years. But not this year. Probably never again.
The Friday leading into the Labor Day weekend the Fabulous Mrs. Mis Hum came home for lunch and asked me the following question, "When did you put up the Trump yard sign?" My response, "I didn't do that." "Oh come on," she jested, "when did you get the sign and when did you put it up?" Someone came and put the sign up near our mailbox. I live on a dead end street. I have a lengthy driveway where you can't see our house. We were headed away for the weekend. I took the sign down. Although I live in a Red area, the thoughts of a deranged leftist vandalizing our home was a little too much for me. My rant? I still can't believe the tenets of political choice and free expression places one's life and property in peril. Even in rural flyover country one now fears his or her choices regarding political advocacy. I don't see it improving in my lifetime. I wonder just how long before the United States of America makes the Balkan Wars look like a playground spat? Have you altered your political lifestyle in the age of Trump? If you have what have you done?Just another day at the beach if you wear a MAGA hat.
The "Defund The Police" movement continues to make one laugh out loud. On one hand you have Princess of White Privilege Alyssa Milano calling the cops on somebody shooting
We gained a little bit of respect for anti-NRA activist Alyssa Milano when she admitted to Sen. Ted Cruz that she lives in a two-gun household — good for her for having the means to perforate some criminal who would break into her home and harm her family. But when she heard what she believed to be gunshots the other day, she dialed 911 right away, sparking a massive emergency response at her home.While we have a small business owner in Minneapolis being told he's on his own. When you basically hear from the Police to "suck it up Buttercup" you know you are on thin ice.
I’m certain most of you are sick and tired about hearing the plight of the citizens in Minneapolis, but when I saw this post, I wanted to comment on it. A business owner sent an email to the commander of the city’s 3rd Precinct, claiming his employees are too frightened to come to work. The business owner – Craig Paulson – received this reply. The owner of Pedego Electric Bikes sent an email to the local Police Chief saying that his employees are too frightened to come to work now. The answer he received was none too reassuring. “As far as a long-term plan I don’t have one. I have lost 30% of my street officers since the end of May. Budget cuts from COVID-19 and an additional 1.5 million from the council in August we have let go 17 CSO’s and canceled a recruit class of 29. A potential Cadet class slated for January of 2021 was also eliminated. It takes about a year to get a police Officer onto the streets with hiring, backgrounds and field training so reinforcements aren’t coming anytime soon. We are doing everything we can with what we have. I hate to see great businesses like yours and the rest of your corridor being victimized and feeling unsafe. Please let me know if you have any more questions.”

Baby's got back leftist hag is weak.
Sorry, I don't care about these people any more.
The one thing I noticed is that she gave up trying to tear down the Trump sign, yes, because she was having trouble, totally out of breath, but she got busted and the woman taping her threatened to hand it into the police. I think that is what got her to leave. She kept her back to her after that, but it was too late, she caught her face (and bleached hair) in the video.

Attorney Robert Barnes claims that Coney-Barrett is a Big Government Statist who voted for COVID Lockdowns. That's a deal-breaker for me. Barnes says she is basically John Roberts in a skirt--and that's a pretty bold claim, since John Roberts is already John Roberts in a skirt.
He recommends Barbara Lagoa or perhaps Allison Jones Rushing.

Well, one of the Defund the Police leaders let the cat out of the bag - when asked what you should do if someone breaks into your house she said, essentially, "too bad for you".
And keep in mind, there are still enough police to arrest you when you shoot/defend yourself in that scenario.
So the real answer is move out of any jurisdiction like Minneapolis to somewhere sane.

So, since Trump was elected, I've been more quiet about my politics. I used to post stuff on my personal faceboook, but I rarely do anymore. At work, I don't talk politics either. I don't trust all my co-workers. I'm certain at least a third are willing liberals who will try and sabotage a conservative if they get the chance.
I'd say, things have gotten a little more ruthless for me. Haven't bought anything in a starbucks for years and such.

Morning all - yes, I have changed my behavior recently. I'd love to afix a pro Trump bumper sticker on the suv but why attract the possible grief?
I already have Navy, 1stMARDIV Asso. and pro life stickers on the vehicles. They attract enough (mostly positive) attention as it is. The lovely Mrs drive out alone often. She's frail and doesn't carry.
What are you gonna do? Going on another house hunting trip in Oct. That will help but it's off in the future a bit.

In looking at judges I really hope someone Trump trusts has actually done an analysis of success and failures.
I'm sure you can find common items between Souter, Kennedy, Roberts, etc
And then on the other hand Thomas, Scalia, Alito, etc

I live in a small blue enclave in a very red area in a red state. Lots of left wing yard signs all around me. BLM signs, no Human is illegal, believe in science, the typical stuff. There is the odd Trump sign here and there, but the ratio is about 15:1 Left/Right.
I've thought of putting up a sign but figured, what's the point? My state isn't in play, so it's not really going to make a difference. All I am doing is setting myself up for some nutjob to key my car or even worse.
So no signs for me. And it sucks that we live in this environment.

1. It wasn't a no knock warrant. They DID announce, knock...and Identified themselves as PD.
2. Taylor, along with her boyfriend (did you know she HAD a boyfriend living there) *were* suspects in the drug ring.
3. An officer was shot in the raid. Shot after Taylors boyfriend started shooting at police that had identified themselves as PD. I had no idea until yesterday an Officer had been shot in the raid.
4. She, tho unarmed, was shot and killed in the ensuing gun play between the cops and the boyfriend.
DID ANY OF YOU GUYS EVER HEAR ANY OF THESE FACTS *ANYWHERE* BEFORE TODAY??? WHY IS THAT???

I don't put anything political on anything I own. I don't even put gun stuff on my car. I like to keep a low profile.
When you carry a gun, you try to avoid trouble.
I DO own a Trump hat, bought it at Trump Tower in Chicago. However, my wife hates Trump, so I can't even wear it around her.
I am often tempted, sorely tempted, to get some MAGA gear and respond....firmly to aggression. Sorely tempted. But I have a wife to tend to and jail time, because of course I'd be the one in jail, doesn't help her at all.
But this is how the Left wins: they can use intimidation and violence with impunity. Worse, they use the threat of us to change OUR behavior.
Until folks who are willing to do a stretch, or risk a wooden box, start killing these Leftist assholes in large numbers, we will continue to be the ones living in fear of our neighbors.
Instead of the other way around.

Regarding politics, I work in a deep blue industry with a strong anti_trump bent. I keep my mouth shut about current politics but can tell political stories skewering both sides if pushed plus have a background in politics from my home state.
The few times that I have let off truth bombs to individuals unlikely to have a future effect on my employment is somewhat amusing.
I do not idolize politicians--to me--they are the hired help. Just like everyone else, some are good, some are bad, and a few are actually statesmen. Trump is actually a statesman posing as a celebrity.

I never liked bumper stickers. But it's true, it was easy to put out signs or show support in clothing or whatever. It used to be like a fun sport, your team against theirs.
No more. Now it's a blood sport. Not worth it.
They are doing this to hide the support from others. They do not want the majority of Americans knowing just what the left is doing and how much support there is for our President, the military, the police and all first responders. They do not want people to know that the majority are still proud and love our country.
They want everyone to be miserable and feel like the failures that they are in order to seize power.
That is why they do not want Free Speech or the 2nd Amendment. Stifle us. Unarm us. Peasants.

Minneapolis has gotten what they voted for. I've tried to feel sorry
for them, but then I remember how sanctimonious and "Holier than Thou"
everyone in that area has been for years, and I can't work up even an
ounce of pity. You thought stupidly, you voted stupidly, now you've
lost everything because you were stupid. Boo friggin' hoo.

This is an easy sentiment. One I follow often. But there are people there who did not vote for it and who cannot move or choose not to move for reasons that make sense to them. I do feel for them.
Seattle on the other hand. Screw them.

Trump/Pence signs being displayed aren't an issue for me, since I live in an Ohio county where reasonable people are in charge and sign stealers may be met with a real gun, not a paintball gun. That being said, the Biden/Harris signs are so few out here that they are fewer than signs for yard sales and missing pets. Joementum is moving forward in the Buckeye State like a listless snail.

I began following politics early as well.
Hell, I stuffed envelopes for Bill Saxbe's campaign in 1968.
That was...seventh grade I think.
I was always captivated by the presidential campaigns as told by Theodore H White.
But once Watergate took place, I realized that it was a bloodsport. And it always amazed me that the Republican party didn't understand that, at least in Ohio.
The Taft's and Bolton's would never "fight", too unseemly, much like the Bush's.
Though with the Bush clan, and the post 9/11 Republican Party, I think they promoted the Uniparty more than the party faithful, therefore to he position of acquiescence.

As for political signs, my neighbor does fly a Trump flag under his American flag. I did buy a Trump flag but haven't figured out how to fly the thing. Also, I am trying not to stir things up between me and the stepkids. But I may fly it on election day.

There are a lot of Trump signs in our MN suburbia - but I'd say more than half are either on the porch/nearer the house than out in the yard. Oh and there's a semi painted Trump 2020 on the way to the high school. Used to be vandalized daily but they gave up. Have seen a handful of Biden/Harris signs.
Outstate up north a couple weeks back was solid Trump and anti-Walz signs.

Now... well let's just say we're not shy about where we stand. I will be putting a TRUMP sign at the end of my driveway but I generally don't have stickers on my vehicles of any kind.
Speaking of TRUMP signage, there's more of it this election than last. I've yet to see a Biden/Harris or Harris/Biden sign anywhere. A couple of pickups that drive down our road daily have large TRUMP flags flying in their truck beds.

Have you altered your political lifestyle in the age of Trump? If you have what have you done?
++++++++++++++
I am not famous and don't often interact with strangers. I am a known quantity to my friends and relatives. The only change I have made is that, with two exceptions - my immediate family (who are largely aligned) and my best friend (with whom I disagree about a lot, but we share core values) - I don't talk politics anymore. When I have friends who bring it up for the purposes of denouncing my positions, I don't take the bait unless one of them asks me a direct question. There is no point arguing with them without an audience (they will never change their minds), and I rarely have an audience. When they ask a direct question, though, I do respond and do so politely. I am -1 friend so far this year over it.
But I also live in a blue area. I have never been a bumper sticker or lawn sign guy, and it is downright perilous to become one at the moment. I have no plans to change my habits in that regard.

There are several Trump signs in our neighborhood, and the area is very pro Trump/ Republican. That being said, we're not going to put anything up.
Once upon a time, I was a conservative working in liberal local tv. I've learned to STFU. There were only a handful of us, and only one could speak out-- the sports anchor, who was also the official radio voice of the Lions. The rest of us were marginalized.

I find it fascinating that the democrats, who are always decrying the
nazis on the right, are using the exact same tactics that the nazis used
***
The left doesn't care what the means are as long as it gives them the ends they want.
I don't think rioting, arson, and looting will do that but I'll admit to also thinking there was no way Obama could win in 2012....well until the GOPe selected Mittens Romneycare

Oh, my. O/T, but still related to politics in Current Year. My company has a new 401k investment vehicle for interested employees. It is called the "Environmental, Social, and Governance fund."
No thank you. Given how much the fascism worm has been burrowing through all governments, it is actually probably a good vehicle to make returns. But no. I still need to be able to sleep at night. They might as well drop the euphemisms and call it the "Globalist Corruption Fund."

I mentioned on Sunday that my Trump signs, that were put up on Friday, were stolen less than 30 hours later. The house 500 feet away, which has Biden signage all over the yard, was untouched.
Put in an order for more signs from the Trump campaign. I don't care.
Five other houses in my neighbourhood had the same thing happen, and I'm in a supposed Red town as well. We've had an influx of locusts from NYC lately, however.
I was, and still am, a tolerant person, but this election season is unmasking me. My GAF meter is now being reset to zero.

I understand what you're saying, and you're right. I feel sorry for them like I feel honestly sorry for all of the Good Germans caught in Dresden when it burned, and all the women and children who were in Hiroshima at the end.
But their suffering was the fault of *their* leadership, and no one else.

Awe, that's so sweet. At Ruth's viewing, a mother and daughter were holding each other with their heads tilted together. I think the mother whispered "We're really going to miss her, I think we both agree it was important to have the option of aborting you"

I really feel for that Minneapolils store owner. Aside from probably being a dumbass Democrat voter, he sounds like a guy who loves and values his store, and is concerned for his employees' well-being. And the Minneapolis police have told him there's little they can do now, 'cause they're defunded. Sure, point and laugh, but Minneapolis is now officially the first Mad Max movie. And that really sucks.

I wear a Trump mask now when I go to places alone (Wife won't allow it when we are together). I live in the Fox Valley. So far, many compliments such as thumbs up and "I like your mask", nothing negative.
I still won't put a Trump sticker on the truck though, that's just an invitation to having it keyed.
Drove through the UP last week. Trump signs outnumbered Biden signs 10:1 or better.

how dangerous it was to support Biden because those crazy right-wingers

Wisconsin.

Rittenhouse shot them because they were trying to murder him.
The prosecution argument is that showing up armed at a Leftist "mostly peaceful" protest is all in and of itself incitement and therefore you have no right to defend yourself - and the same thing with Gardner, though he was at his own bar.
Just think about that for a moment.

Home Owners Associations started an anti-American march when they banned
the American Flag. I never thought about this until now.
I live in an HOA community. Before I signed the contract to buy the house, I drove around my neighborhood to see signs of tyrannical HOA-ism.
It was around Christmas. There were all kinds of decorations, the mailboxes were not one standard uniform style. And homeowners proudly displayed the American flag, and still do.
So my HOA is not as restrictive and it's relatively cheap too.

The only normal place - that is, a place that looks like how things to used to be - in terms of political signage I have seen is where my parents live in E. TN. They are in a mixed, blue-leaning part of a red state. Trump and Biden signs are pretty common. But it is the only place I have seen like that. Here where I live on the Front Range (CO), it is all Left signage, even though I am in a somewhat conservative borough.

Being a Catholic, gun owning, conservative who lives in Greenwich Village I'd have to say, no. I haven't changed my political expression much at all. Our apartment has always been a kind of "Ft. Apache" for us. We are surrounded on all sides by people who despise us without reason, and we are only able to function in this environment by keeping our views to ourselves. No need to attract the crazies.
With that said, I will never ever lie about my views, and I'm big enough and tough enough to always live by this rule. Though honestly, it doesn't come up often as conflict.
But one recent change I've seen is that since the riots, people I deal with from the neighborhood who I know 'slightly' - my clerk at the wine store or the checkout at the supermarket, maybe someone who lives nearby who owns the same dog breed we do and we see from time to time, have been approaching me and announcing their change to a more conservative outlook. I'm guessing my 'conservatism' is outwardly visible to them in some way - enough to make them feel comfortable. Maybe it's my obvious lack of liberal self hatred.
And let me tell you, there are a ton of them. No one will defend De Blasio anymore. And a great many see Trump as unpalatable, but a far cry better than having their homes burned to the ground by Biden supporters.
I think there is a wellspring of support for Trump here, far more than will EVER be revealed by the polls. It might not be enough to matter, but I'm highly confident he does better in NYC and NY state than anyone is willing to say out loud.

HOA's are all about suppressing rights and freedoms. And charging you for it.
Once upon a time, when Bozo Conservative started courting me, one of my first "test" questions for him was "what do you think of condos?"
LOL. He hates them. I hate them. He had a HOA at his old house and got in trouble several times over the years. I never had one; if I did, I would have gotten in trouble. We both want to put a giant gargoyle statue on the front lawn and paint the front door red. Actually, our front door IS red. And we might get a gargoyle statue for the front lawn.

I've been taking advantage of the mask thing to get in to business everywhere here in the Bay Area here in Cali. Going into Target, the gas station, grocery store, etc., with my Trump 2020 mask. I dont put it on until I get to the door and as soon as I pay for my stuff I take it off in front of all the masked people. I've had it for a couple weeks and have actually had mostly positive reactions when I wear it. I've gotten the occasional death stare and head shake, thats it. my head is on a swivel when I wear it, I just stay situationally aware.

I work at a software company in Austin. I used to be more open about my political leanings. I don't think this is attributable to Trump so much as the continuing descent into madness of the left.

If you work for a largish corp, so much as hinting at politics at work (if you're not a communist, anyway) has become exceedingly dangerous. I refuse to use company systems to discuss anything political, even with people who I know (from the Before Times) are at least roughly aligned.

On the bright side one of the descriptions I read today about it used the phrase "Covid related" instead of outright saying "Covid deaths" as for the b.s. John Hopkins' stats.

look - nobody really knows for sure what will happen once these people get on the court.
You can look at the past and guess about the future, that's all you can do.
As between her and the other potential female candidates, I don't have a strong preference because I don't actually know enough about them. I assume the reading of their decisions, the interviews of their coworkers, former bosses, etc will be done and decisions made. So far, Trump has had some success with some hires and he has had to do quit a bit of firing. So it could go either way. My sense is he tends to look pretty closely at people and he takes the Judge thing seriously. Whoever he decides to pick - I'm supporting. Meanwhile, I will not be playing the game of don't pick her because . . . because I don't know squat, and the people who do know best are working for Trump already.

I ran to be elected an uncommitted R delegate in my town in 1972. I was 18 at the time. I won - it was a write-in campaign - as there were no competitors.
I went into the background after that as my interest in participatory politics had waned. I really did not become active again until the Tea Party came on scene in 2009. My sister persuaded me to take part in the DC marches in 2009 and 2010. I contributed financially to campaigns in 2010 and 2012. I made calls for a losing R House candidate in Delaware in 2010. I was a poll watcher for the feckless Mittens, who left us hanging out to dry in 2012.
Of those to whom I contributed, damn few are still around. Kristi Noem (House) and Marco Rubio (Senate) are two that come to mind and I have no use now for Marco "Dondi" Rubio.
Now I kvetch here. Trump is our slender reed. Heads need to begin rolling among those entrenched for us to begin to truly bring back government of the people.

Yes, I can say that I was aware. And I will add that he is absolutely the perfect DA to be presiding as San Fran is finally and irretrievably burned to the ground. If if was my plan to destroy San Fran so thoroughly that it would not rise as a major city for 100 years to come, I could think of nothing better than to put him in such a position of authority.

Once upon a time, when Bozo Conservative started courting me, one of my first "test" questions for him was "what do you think of condos?"
LOL. He hates them. I hate them. He had a HOA at his old house and got in trouble several times over the years. I never had one; if I did, I would have gotten in trouble. We both want to put a giant gargoyle statue on the front lawn and paint the front door red. Actually, our front door IS red. And we might get a gargoyle statue for the front lawn.

I've lived in Portland and am a political veteran through the Bush-Gore 2000 Wars, The Bush-Kerry Conflict, The Obama-Palin Ambush, the Obama-Romney Expedition, and the Trump-Clinton Nuclear conflict.
I've actually had to not show any support for Trump visually, or verbally. This is to protect property, job and life. I've never seen it this bad. I had the wipers tore off the car in 2000. Paint on the car keyed up and egged in 2004. I had a lady at a stoplight rip off my John Kerry Flip Flops I had hanging from the back of the truck in 2004. I had a cinder block thrown through back window of the wagon in 2008 where the McCain-Palin sticker was. I had both broken window car keyed, and wipers tore off in 2012. Spit and shoe polish all over the car in 2016.
This year? I'm afraid they'd burn my house down or my cars burned if a Trump sign were to go up. It's that bad.

Learned somethings today about the Taylor raid yesterday.
DID ANY OF YOU GUYS EVER HEAR ANY OF THESE FACTS *ANYWHERE* BEFORE TODAY??? WHY IS THAT???
======================
I had heard some of it before today, yes. But we've had to deal with biased media reporting and the resulting running jump to conclusions ever since Rodney King.
That being said, I was against no-knock raids before most of the rioting the Leftards had even heard of the term.

>>Attorney Robert Barnes claims that Coney-Barrett is a Big Government Statist who voted for COVID Lockdowns. "
>>I call bullshit. I don't think any lockdown case has gotten to the federal court level
Barnes and @shipwreckedcrew have been arguing this out on twitter for the last couple days.
An appeal did reach her court and all 3 judges voted against the plaintiff not just ACB. SWC says the reason was because of poor lawyering, the lawyers argued the wrong issues, and doesn't really mean she was in favor of the lockdowns.
It's not the job of the appeals court to find a reason to overturn a ruling of a lower court, that's the job of the lawyers. The judges job, not judge Sullivan's apparently, is to judge the case in front of them not the one they want to judge.
You can check out @shipwreckedcrew's twitter to see the back and forth.

I bought a Dirt Farm redneck hate while in the Shenandoah a couple of weeks ago. The bill is red and the body is blue with white stars. The brow's badge reads DIRT FARM, Bluemont Virginia. I wear it as a Geiger counter to see how many Anti-Trumpers it attracts. They come up fast and then read the badge and then are flustered. Its a marvelous ploy. It amuses me. Then I ask them 'How About Those Redskins'.

I hate to feel this way, because I've only met people from Minneapolis once, but I'm not a fan of people in that city. A few years ago I met some people from Minneapolis at a training center for work. They were kind of smarmy, and they just kept going on and on about how they could never live somewhere where they couldn't ride their bicycle to work. They said you could ride your bike from the burbs into the city. I was thinking to myself thats kind of immature. What do they do if their kid gets sick and they have to pick him up? Do they drop off their bike at home after a 45 minute ride then get the car and get the kid? They were not very serious people...

While we have a small business owner in Minneapolis being told he's on his own. When you basically hear from the Police to "suck it up Buttercup" you know you are on thin ice.
It's like Detroit in 1968 after the riots, when the cops were openly telling people to move out of Detroit, because the cops were incapable of protecting them.
This is another big shift recently - blue cities will be increasingly unlivable, because the voters of those cities intend to make those cities unlivable.
I lived in Portland for twenty years. Nice place. Yeah, the taxes were a bit high, and the politicians were a bit loony, but when my house was robbed while I was overseas, the police bureau sent over a couple of cops to investigate, and followed up with an evidence tech to dust for fingerprints. I don't think they ever arrested anyone for it, but you got the sense they were trying.
Portland doesn't send cops to investigate residential burglaries anymore - you are directed to an online form to get a police report to submit to your insurance company. In some cases, people in Portland are now waiting hours for the cops to respond to violent crimes - the cops were already understaffed, and a big chunk of the police are on riot duty.
Criminals know that Portland has largely stopped investigating property crimes, of course.
It's only going to get worse. Portland voters overwhelmingly elected a Soros-backed DA who explicitly said that enforcing the laws against "non-violent" crimes was not a priority, and releases almost everyone charged with felony riot, so the riots will go on indefinitely.
There is a good chance that after November, a majority of the Portland city council will be comprised of absolute cop-haters.
This is what the voters of Portland, Seattle, New York, etc. want. If you don't want that, you need to leave.

I hate to feel this way, because I've only met people from Minneapolis once, but I'm not a fan of people in that city. A few years ago I met some people from Minneapolis at a training center for work. They were kind of smarmy, and they just kept going on and on about how they could never live somewhere where they couldn't ride their bicycle to work. They said you could ride your bike from the burbs into the city. I was thinking to myself thats kind of immature. What do they do if their kid gets sick and they have to pick him up? Do they drop off their bike at home after a 45 minute ride then get the car and get the kid? They were not very serious people...

Morning bike nazis are lucky they don't allow the rest of us to mount 50 cals on our hoods.
They try to stare you down if you are within 5 feet of the bike lane, yet they'll meander out into the car lane whenever they feel like it. They go through red lights, as if traffic signals mean nothing to them, including in front of you when you want to make a right turn, and they're going straight.
And keep your smelly sweaty bike stank out of the office, Janet. Not to mention your $140 Walmart bike you insist on parking in the hallways, if it's raining outside.

It's not the job of the appeals court to find a reason to overturn a ruling of a lower court, that's the job of the lawyers. The judges job, not judge Sullivan's apparently, is to judge the case in front of them not the one they want to judge.

Posted by: JackStraw at September 23, 2020 11:31 AM (ZLI7S)
I'll be equally happy with either Barrett or Lagoa. I think the dynamics of a 6-3 conservative majority on the Court will change legal rulings dramatically across the board.
and to recap something we spoke of yesterday - the reason it will be 6-3 is that the Court has been 4-4-1 for at least 30 years, with first Kennedy and then Roberts playing the 1 role. This has led to incredible behind the scenes politicking on every ruling. BUT there is no advantage to a 5-3-1 split, and Roberts can only continue to influence decisions if he stays with the Majority.
so, the Left is correct to be freaking out, but this has been coming for a long time. The Court will be moving from 4-4-1 to 6-3, as soon as the new justice is confirmed.

I have crows fly in each year now to tear apart the pecan tree I have, ruining the nuts before they're ready to each. Since I live within city limits in the People's Republik of Kalifornia, I CAN kill the bastards per state law for damaging my tree and its nuts, but I can't shoot then, not even with an airsoft rifle. How the holy hell am I supposed to get rid of those bastards, cut my tree down or top it?
That's what the left has suceeded in doing in my state; Yes, you have the right to arms, but only what arms we allow you, and you can't use them without going to jail in all but the most extreme circumstances (for now).

i avoid talking politics with people who I know can't stand Trump. I will however try to persuade someone who is open to voting for Trump, like if they say, " I don't know. I kind of want to vote for Trump, BUT...."
But the Trump haters can't be reached.

They try to stare you down if you are within 5 feet of the bike lane, yet they'll meander out into the car lane whenever they feel like it. They go through red lights, as if traffic signals mean nothing to them, including in front of you when you want to make a right turn, and they're going straight.
And keep your smelly sweaty bike stank out of the office, Janet. Not to mention your $140 Walmart bike you insist on parking in the hallways, if it's raining outside.

My favorite are the jerkoffs who think flinging their left arm out makes them magically invulnerable to the tow hooks on my front bumper.
Hey, jerkoff: Turn signals don't work that way. Even on cars.

My lefty writing colleague thinks Trump never graduated from college, is a huckster and a moron, and speaks on a fourth-grade level. Of course, as I keep handling his emails about this, and about Obama's gaffes and failures, with actual facts, he has begun to devolve into curses and name-calling. I thought he was better than that.

The only real way to make this determination is to see where we are in 12 years.
He certainly could end up greater than Reagan. That would be fine with me.

BUT there is no advantage to a 5-3-1 split, and Roberts can only continue to influence decisions if he stays with the Majority.
so, the Left is correct to be freaking out, but this has been coming for a long time. The Court will be moving from 4-4-1 to 6-3, as soon as the new justice is confirmed.

Further ensuring that Portland will become less and less important politically in their own state.
It's strange that Portland, with just over 15% of the population of the state of Oregon, has an absolute lock on the state politically.
I keep expecting to see some signs of a revolt, but thus far, no.
However, Portland looniness is not exported.
The suburban county to the west of Portland is run by Democrats, but you don't hear a peep about "defunding the police" there - they know that they would be voted out if they tried. A Soros DA tried to get elected in that county and lost.

I replaced my 50-start American flag with a "Betsy Ross" Flag when Nike started their 'that flag is raciss!!!!" stuff. Our new neighborhood is starting to sprout Trump 2020 signs and flags. Didn't know it when we bought the house, but a fair number of engineers working at WPAFB live here.
A dear friend, 70+ year old widow (her late husband was one of the few Conservative professors at the University of Cincinnati) recently bought her first firearm due to the Antifa/BLM riots. She mentioned to Mrs. Cop that she didn't dare put up anything supporting President Trump because she feared the Leftists would burn her house -- she lives within a few miles of the UC campus.
Mrs Cop told me this later and said our friend was having trouble finding ammunition. I replied, "What caliber and how much does she need?" Mrs Cop used to think we didn't need all the ammo I bought but not any more.

I think Biden is going to use Trump's SCOTUS nomination as an excuse to stop Tuesday's debate. A writer at Thinker mentioned this -- they'll issue an ultimatum: postpone the nomination or the debate is tabled.
Trump can just borrow Clint Eastwood's empty chair and debate that.. I'm sure the chair is more aware

This is so stupid.
But remember, there's a large swath of people who believe that Trump is not legitimate, so to them, this idiocy makes perfect sense.

This is the music industry's fault.
If you've listened to her "music" you know that she is not a talent worthy of big record deals, Grammies, etc.. More like the butt of a "Trading Places" type joke.
She is literally a former stripper and prostitute who has admitted she would drug and then rob her johns.

History certainly seems to rhyme as it were. People of this era wonder aloud how could so many Germans of wealth and power support the Nazis..
I must now point to a political party in Tsarist Russia. The Kadets actually raised money for the terrorists. They praised the murderous thugs calling them martyrs. And when Lenin came to power, the Cheka repaid their support with imprisonment and execution.
This is the source of the Lenin phrase, "we will hang the Capitalist with the rope he sells us."
So I have to ask the Democrats, do you really think you can control your direct action wing? Especially when you work to dismantle the forces, the police, that are the counter to them?

The warrant was served at 12:40 a.m.
Just serve the fucking warrant at 12:40 pm and a lot of problems are eliminated.
Years ago a friend of mine (Tacoma cop) was on a call where they found a local bad guy. Several outstanding warrants...you know the drill. A real bad guy.
He's in this house.
So SWAT gets called. Lots of cars, trucks, flashing lights, the works. Its about 9 PM.
So my friend looks around and thinks this is BS. As he was first on the scene, it's kind of his thing.
So he just walks up to the door and knocks.
The bad guy answers.
Bad guy is about 6'4" and 250. My friend is about 5'9" and maybe a buck fifty.
Bad guy looks my friend over and just smiles. "You think you can take me in?"
My friend just smiles and says "Look. You can come with me and we'll go over to my car and talk about this, or I can shoot you. Or all these guys behind me will. What's it gonna be?
Bad guy looks at my friend, laughs, shakes his hand and introduces himself and come out.
SWAT commander was pissed. He was busting a gut to go crashing in.

I feel you, driving home from South Texas over the weekend and stopped for fuel on the western edge of Fort Worth. The station is one I frequent several times a year, only thing difference is that it was 2am and in addition to diesel - I needed def. If you drive a newer diesel, you know what will happen if you run out of def.
Should have mostly been a routine stop, except my card declined for no discernable reason. No problem, I have a back up card for another account.... and it declined.
So there I sat.... 2am in downtown Fort Worth - a place I've been to many times and have always considered relatively safe digging thru my bag for cash to pay for def.
Then a van load of young adults pulls in two pumps over and the passengers hop out. They were young, scruffy looking and other than the 2 wearing BLM t-shirts, they shouldn't have drawn my attention.
That's when I did things completely out of character for me..... I locked my door, checked my carry gun and moved it into easy reach and discreetly photographed the van trying to include the License Plate. Texted my husband to let him know exactly where I was and did my best to vanish into the shadows.
They eventually loaded up and left and I went inside to pay for the def and got back on the road as quickly as possible. And I was furious that these asshats have caused me be suspicious of groups of young people in a State and City I have never been concerned about in my whole life.

My house was vandalized by Democrat thugs over a McCain sign in 2008. It frightened my mentally ill wife such that she declined to go vote. She also insisted that I cancel my plans to drive voters to the polls. Terrorism works, at least on people who are susceptible to fear. There are a lot of those. If you doubt it, just walk around and look at the doofuses wearing masks.

Linda called her "Angelique." Very ironic; the cat growled at you if you tried to move her off your lap.

Nailed it. Roberts doesn't like close decisions. He thinks it delegitimizes the court.

I never understood his reasoning. Acting overtly political because your afraid of being viewed as overtly political just doesnt make any sense.

The debates are in the evening - which means there is a dual risk of sundowning and Joe having a bad day.

If the Senate has televised hearings, no matter the nominee, the Democrats will turn it in to the usual shit show, guaranteed.
As a matter of fact, if not for those in the past, we might not even know who is Joe Biden, because he was always the hatchet man.

and to recap something we spoke of yesterday - the reason it will be 6-3 is that the Court has been 4-4-1 for at least 30 years, with first Kennedy and then Roberts playing the 1 role. This has led to incredible behind the scenes politicking on every ruling. BUT there is no advantage to a 5-3-1 split, and Roberts can only continue to influence decisions if he stays with the Majority.
Yep. Roberts will start to become more conservative. Or at least his voting record will.
Posted by: JackStraw at September 23, 2020 11:44 AM (ZLI7S)
It also provides him cover. Roberts doesn't EVER want to be the spotlight swing vote, seen as giving Trump a victory. So another conservative will allow him to vote his true feeling.
At least in theory.

If they tell us they don't go out any more and have rolled up in a ball until the virus is over, then we know they've been propagandized by the left. If they are normal people, going about living their lives, they watch Fox.
And of course, that first group loudly pronounces their hate for Trump within 5 minutes.

Which reminds me of one of my favorite movies:
Mr Blanding's Dream House
Muriel Blandings : I want it to be a soft green, not as blue-green as a robin's egg, but not as yellow-green as daffodil buds. Now, the only sample I could get is a little too yellow, but don't let whoever does it go to the other extreme and get it too blue. It should just be a sort of grayish-yellow-green.
Now, the dining room. I'd like yellow. Not just yellow; a very gay yellow. Something bright and sunshine-y. I tell you, Mr. PeDelford, if you'll send one of your men to the grocer for a pound of their best butter, and match that exactly, you can't go wrong!
Now, this is the paper we're going to use in the hall. It's flowered, but I don't want the ceiling to match any of the colors of the flowers. There's some little dots in the background, and it's these dots I want you to match. Not the little greenish dot near the hollyhock leaf, but the little bluish dot between the rosebud and the delphinium blossom. Is that clear?
Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white.
Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me...
Mr. PeDelford : You got that Charlie?
Charlie, Painter : Red, green, blue, yellow, white.
Mr. PeDelford : Check.

Now the kitchen is to be white. Not a cold, antiseptic hospital white. A little warmer, but still, not to suggest any other color but white.
Now for the powder room - in here - I want you to match this thread, and don't lose it. It's the only spool I have and I had an awful time finding it! As you can see, it's practically an apple red. Somewhere between a healthy winesap and an unripened Jonathan. Oh, excuse me...

371 >>Any cancel of the debate HAS to come from Trump in order for it to help Biden.
>>Anything remotely looking like it comes from the Biden camp frames it as, "Biden can't do it."
Right. There isn't a serious person on the planet that believe Trump is afraid of Biden. He's dealing with tough opponents all day everyday and so far his record is pretty freaking good.
Joe isn't a tough opponent.

I've changed nothing about my behavior (politics-wise). I ALWAYS carry, never admit it.
Candidly, the circumstances that would allow rioting here in my rural environment aren't a factor in the politics.
We're too far into flyover country for that, the liberals can't seem to get a strong enough foothold. We vote Republican overwhelmingly, and the Dems live (as I like to say) in the real world.

It's all so boring and predictable. They crank the anti Republican hysteria up to eleven every fucking election. They will do the same thing in 4 years and it matters not who the candidates are.
Republicans are evil and literally Hitler!!!!!
There will never be another Republican presidential candidate that the loony left won't vilify. The left will never accept anyone to the right of chairman Mao as a legitimate president. This time they are just being honest about it.
This isn't the first ever election year to include violence. It's all happened before and will happen again.

I think Biden is going to use Trump's SCOTUS
nomination as an excuse to stop Tuesday's debate. A writer at Thinker
mentioned this -- they'll issue an ultimatum: postpone the nomination or
the debate is tabled.
Not sure how this helps Biden. Contrary to the current polling, Joe is losing and it's getting worse not better.
He needs these debates a hell of a lot more than Trump.

Retired Buckeye Cop @ 309- Mrs E. and I saw full ammo shelves at Gander yesterday, on the handgun ammo shelves. Well when you got close enough it was all rifle ammo, except .223/5.56. They had about twelve 50 rd boxes handgun ammo behind the counter. I watched the 9MM get bought in the space of 3 minutes. I looked deeply into Mrs. E's eyes and murmured 'Ain't you glad we bought blah blah rounds of blah blah blah when we did, honey?'.

Criminals, unless they're high on drugs, have fairly normal thought processes. If presented with bad odds they're likely to give in. Good odds they'll take and equal odds they might chance. They're on average a bit dumber and have shorter time horizons so they don't necessarily factor in that getting away in one case might just mean more in the future. But if they didn't act in fairly predictable manners gangs wouldn't be able to function.
In certain situations humans will reflexively fight back. Not engaging in those unnecessarily is smart policing and minimizes risk.

I get a kick out of the 'experts' who say there is no such thing as a 'silent Trump voter'. Hilarious.
I work in the nonprofit world, and every time I talk to a client they inevitably start telling me how awful Trump is and he doesn't care about people. Do you really think I'm going to share the fact I love Trump with them, and risk losing business?
I know ten people who say the same thing - people who are viewed as 'undecided' or even 'Biden' voters, but in truth can't wait to pull the lever for DJT.

WyattEarp,
I have a bit of professional curiosity on serving warrants.
Just wondering why you do not secure the suspects out and about with arrest warrants and the same probable cause statements of facts for an arrest warrant would also serve to allow a search warrant of the premises without the risk of a no knock warrant. I am guessing that the issue is the risk to public safety but I could be wrong.
Reason why I am asking, is David Koresh, for example, could have been secured with little fanfare outside of his compound with an arrest warrant which would have probably then reduced the risk of conflict when a subsequent search warrant was served at the compound.

It saved my ass last Sunday when a woman who was too important to yield the right of way. I knew the bitch was gonna do it. I stopped about 3 feet from idiot driver's door. She didn't even slow down.

Assumptions about schedule aside, people are less jumpy in the daytime and visibility is much better. Cops also sometimes get the wrong house. Night raids are more appropriate for Bin Laden, not an attempt at a peaceful arrest.
====
Sure, it's good that way. But every big-city PD treats drug raids like they're out to get Bin Laden. It gets them arrests and the evidence the DA wants. If the officers had showed up at noon, walked to the front door, and announced themselves the dirtbag boyfriend would be out the window and Ms. Taylor would've flushed the stuff. (Insert lengthy discussion of the War on Drugs and its abrasions of citizen rights here.) Still, if it wasn't 2020, this arrest resulting in a fatality would've never made national news. The Leftards don't know or care about the facts of the case, smash, burn, and assault, because damaging the USA and opposing Trump is more important.

I think they had already accepted the loss in the general election before covid came around.

So.... They made a deal. Bernie sells out for another Dacha and a promise that all the Commie stuff is still on the table, but underwraps. Notice almost all all the other candidates drop out over the same weekend?? But Joe's health is way worse than anybody thought, and Jill wanting to be First Lady Mommy Dearest isnt helping.

>>>Reason why I am asking, is David Koresh, for example, could have been secured with little fanfare outside of his compound with an arrest warrant which would have probably then reduced the risk of conflict when a subsequent search warrant was served at the compound.
We do that more often than you'd think. We serve the arrest warrant, hold the house, secure it, and apply for a search warrant. Sometimes they give us a Consent to Search, but usually we use the SW to find the evidence we need.

Years ago a friend of mine (Tacoma cop) was on a call where they found a local bad guy. Several outstanding warrants...you know the drill. A real bad guy.
He's in this house.
So SWAT gets called. Lots of cars, trucks, flashing lights, the works. Its about 9 PM.
So my friend looks around and thinks this is BS. As he was first on the scene, it's kind of his thing.
So he just walks up to the door and knocks.
The bad guy answers.
Bad guy is about 6'4" and 250. My friend is about 5'9" and maybe a buck fifty.
Bad guy looks my friend over and just smiles. "You think you can take me in?"
My friend just smiles and says "Look. You can come with me and we'll go over to my car and talk about this, or I can shoot you. Or all these guys behind me will. What's it gonna be?
Bad guy looks at my friend, laughs, shakes his hand and introduces himself and come out.
SWAT commander was pissed. He was busting a gut to go crashing in.
Posted by: Diogenes at September 23, 2020 11:46 AM (axyOa)
My assumption is, when you get runners, the ones who have warrants and don't want to be taken in, the ones who sometimes suicide by cop, these are the guys who have been incarcerated, and were someone's bitch.
The big guys like this, they don't WANT to get taken in, but they know it's not worth it to make a fuss here and now.
A lot of wisdom gets accumulated in prison. But yeah, some guys are dumb and they never learn a damn thing.

Tom Servo and SH,
My suspicion is that part of what you are seeing in the Biden campaign is an internal civil war over control over the Dem party apparatus. The oldsters are facing the Revolutionaries and while they may express the same rhetoric--the oldsters do lip service to it in order to enrich themselves--the youngsters in the Dem party right now are true believers that the Revolution has come. They want power and want it now.
You might even see some of the oldster Dems deliberately tank their nominee in order to keep power in the party. Examples in the past include McGovern and on the right, Goldwater.

Don't get me started on bicyclists. Before Hurricane Sally hit my area, I was Sweden (neutral) on them. Now, not so much.
The day after the storm had passed, with downed trees, power lines and debris clogging up the streets; with power restoration trucks rolling everywhere, most having police escorts; and with traffic already reduced to stop-and-go with lengthy backups and many intersections, these bicycling assholes, riding in groups, were out making matters that much worse.
I can't recall a time I was so pissed over. They got an earful from me every time I passed them (or they passed me).

So my friend looks around and thinks this is BS. As he was first on the scene, it's kind of his thing.
So he just walks up to the door and knocks.
The bad guy answers.
Bad guy is about 6'4" and 250. My friend is about 5'9" and maybe a buck fifty.
Bad guy looks my friend over and just smiles. "You think you can take me in?"
My friend just smiles and says "Look. You can come with me and we'll
go over to my car and talk about this, or I can shoot you. Or all these
guys behind me will. What's it gonna be?
Bad guy looks at my friend, laughs, shakes his hand and introduces himself and come out.
SWAT commander was pissed. He was busting a gut to go crashing in.

My assumption is, when you get runners, the ones who have warrants
and don't want to be taken in, the ones who sometimes suicide by cop,
these are the guys who have been incarcerated, and were someone's bitch.
The big guys like this, they don't WANT to get taken in, but they know it's not worth it to make a fuss here and now.
A lot of wisdom gets accumulated in prison. But yeah, some guys are dumb and they never learn a damn thing.

There will be no debates. No matter what he says, the Biden Campaign will make every excuse, regardless of merit, to prevent a televised debate. That would end the election campaign right there, and no amount of zombie or "que" votes could prevent the electoral blowout. Heck, Joe Rogan offered to moderate a virtual debate for everyone. Trump quickly agreed; Biden's people politely refused.

36 I live in a small blue enclave in a very red area in a red state. Lots of left wing yard signs all around me. BLM signs, no Human is illegal, believe in science, the typical stuff. There is the odd Trump sign here and there, but the ratio is about 15:1 Left/Right.
I've thought of putting up a sign but figured, what's the point? My state isn't in play, so it's not really going to make a difference. All I am doing is setting myself up for some nutjob to key my car or even worse.
So no signs for me. And it sucks that we live in this environment.

I don't mean to pick on this particular comment but rather on its representative sentiment. As long as conservatives keep thinking like this, they will lose in the long run. Any group that is too ashamed or frightened to show itself cannot survive for long, nor can it transfer its beliefs to the next generation as well as a group that proudly touts its beliefs and controls most of the levers of the culture. The next generation is going to be... interesting.
Visiting south Florida recently, I was struck at how many Trump signs and flags there are. Far more than for Biden. This is South Florida, not exactly the most conservative part of the state. So perhaps it bodes well for the future?

To be fair, we should remember that the Dem establishment (who hated Bernie, but he NEVER had any black support, coming from a State that was 99.5% White) first tried to woo black voters with "hey look at the Woman from California who pretends she's African America, even though she isn't, and never mind how she used to laugh about throwing black men in jail for weed" And then they went with "Okay, you don't like her, how about this prancing little gay white boy from the midwest? You like him. don't you?" Umm, no. "How about shrieking Karen the fake indian from Boston? Don't you like her?" Um... no. Biden was it by default.

Perhaps. But I'm sure Chris Wallace is working closely with the Biden campaign (and I'm not even joking) to craft questions designed to get under Trump's skin. The Biden camp will have ample time to prepare how to respond to each question. Add that together with the world's best drugs and medical treatments to gear Biden up for the big night, and he just may do well enough.

Driving through Pinecrest yesterday saw at least 4 to 5 Trump signs or flags. One of the signs had been spray painted and squashed. Several of the homes near me (on the west side of US1) that have Trump signs have not just one Trump sign but several plus a Trump flag. They decided to go big and on your face!!

I don't know. The debate, unlike the townhall with CNN, will be a stressful environment, and Biden...well. Remembering him and his snorting, snarling performance against Paul Ryan, which wasn't good or impressive, it was at least forceful. These days, he melts down if a voter challenges him even slightly.
I have a rotten record of prognostication. But I don't think even an Aderal (sp?) drip could keep Biden from falling apart on camera.

I had the same worries when my wife put up a Trump sign.
We live in very Red Nassau County but I was still nervous. We live on a very popular road with lots of foot and vehicle traffic heading to the beach or the historic downtown.
I then realized that by pulling the sign and giving in, they were actually winning. Sort of like, I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I think I would rather repair the damage or rebuild a burned down home then be intimidated or threatened into bowing before the hate filled bullies.

Most are. And virtually all *were* at the beginning. That is the risk. If the HOA pivots to madness, you are powerless.
Ask anyone from an HOA if they will change the rules to take away the power to foreclose on somebody's house. You will quickly find out if the "good of the homeowners" is their motivation. Does that mean all HOAs are evil, no, but it does mean the potential for somebody evil to do their worst, is built into the very structure of the HOA.

How many conservatives who have "molon labe" emblazoned on their social media accounts and who tease leftists as limp-wristed sissies are too scared to put a sign in their yard? They're just as hypocritical as the leftists who have environmentalist stickers on their SUVs. Suck it up, buttercups.

It's always very difficult to predict what the Saudi's will do, because the Royals always have "wheels within wheels" scheming going on - but I do believe they are on board. An Israeli paper recently has published reports saying that Crown Prince Salman is very much in favor of Saudi signing on, but that is father, King Salman, is still opposed and thinks it has gone too far.
Now, this may be possible, it cannot be disproved. But it also looks a whole lot to me like the two of them (King and Crown Prince) are running a Good Cop, Bad Cop routine just to get some extra concessions for themselves from everyone else involved. That would fit their M.O. perfectly, they love finding ways to be on both sides of every question.

I've never been one to flaunt my politics for any to see.
This year, I've felt the desire to but even in the small area I live in has enough potential Dem voters and of an age and attitude they might harbor negative thoughts if they knew what my politics were, I've not put up anything.
I have bought some hats and gave a couple to the folks next door who I know share my views.
I'll wait till after the election unless Trump loses. But that's not as a cry for victory but a warning to anyone they'd best leave me the f**k alone in the coming skirmishes that we all know will be instigated by the left.
And at that time it will become a necessity to know whether my neighbors are actively opposed to my views or not as the left becomes more active and the right counters their attacks.
Don't think it's not going to happen. The last 9 months should've shown everyone that's not going to be the case.
That USA is gone. We are now entering the era of power effected on the streets and no only at the ballot box.

Late to the chat, but: I had a kid knock on my door. He told me "I'm with the republicans and I want to talk about how you're going to vote."
He had no clipboard. No ID of any kind. Long hair, beard, baseball cap, and face diaper.
I wasn't packing at that second. That won't happen again.
"I don't talk politics with strangers," I said. Her persisted and I eventually said "My flag tell you everything you need to know."
I fly a Gadsen. I no longer glory in Old Glory, given the manifest cowardice of "conservatives" all over this nation, these last six months.
The thing is... he had no idea what it was.
So was he a communist?
You bet.
