Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, July 31, 2021. On this day in 1941 Under instructions from Adolf Hitler, Nazi official Hermann Göring, ordered SS General Reinhard Heydrich to "submit to me as soon as possible a general plan of the administrative material and financial measures necessary for carrying out the desired Final Solution of the Jewish question."

Dragging up a response from below:
It sounds like somebody read my ideas, since that No Confidence idea is similar to one I've been pushing in various places for a while. The people of any democratically-elected nation should have the option to hold a petition drive to hold a national No Confidence vote. If the No Confidence vote passes, every elected national office is vacated, and no incumbents are allowed to run for re-election in the special election to follow.

Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at July 31, 2021 05:16 AM (49Exr) Every socialist/communist plan requires just a few people to be imprisoned or eliminated. In Germany, it was the Jews. Pol Pot needed to eliminate the educated, so about one third of the country was murdered. Russia had the created famines that wiped out about 5 million in a year. Who know how many Moa killed with moving city dwellers to the country. How will this play out in the US? Do you get rid about 175 Million Trump voters? Or like Ayers thinks move about 30 Million to reeducation camps (half will die) and create a new society from the remaining? Posted by: rhennigantx at July 31, 2021 05:25 AM (yrol0) 45
Trump has repeatedly claimed his taxes are on the up and up and yet the Commies want to see for themselves.
That's weird because the Commies claim Nov 3 and Jan 6 were on the up and up but routinely throw around words like "conspiracy theorist" and "threat to our Democracy" when Americans, the people they "work" for, want answers. Answers that are rightfully ours to examine. Posted by: Fool Otto at July 31, 2021 05:25 AM (DB16e) 46

No more than twenty years, in any position. That might be 6 in Congress, 6 in the Senate, and 8 as President. That might be 20 years for the IRS. At 20 years, you get a silver watch (because gold is too good for government), and you get to carry your 401K (no more special pensions!) to the private sector.

Anyways, my point is that 1 guy from the private sector can replace 3-5 lifelong federal employees easily, offsetting any loss of effectiveness from losing those "experienced" employees. ----------- I had a summer job in the maintenance department at a college. Every morning, I'd be given some tasks to do. About lunchtime, I'd be finished with them and report back to ask what was next. A couple of the full-time old-timers took me aside and told me politely that I was making them look bad and to lighten up a bit. I got the picture and thereafter did what I was told, then hid out in a distant boiler room and read for the rest of the day.

That eviction moratorium is still such a great example of why we are where we are as a nation. Via nolo.com:
"On September 1, 2020 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued an Agency Order titled Temporary Halt in Residential Evictions to Prevent the Further Spread of COVID-19 (Order). The Order went into effect on September 4, 2020..." Your government agency issued you an Order, citizen.

Back in the day, Trump owned all his buildings personally or in partnerships (and not in C corporations). So he got the depreciation on his return, and owed little or no tax. That's probably what the the NYT expects to find when they get his returns. Complicated, but compliant.

About the only embarrassing thing on Trump's taxes I can think of is that "on paper" he's not worth what he claims.
Whatever's in them hasn't been red flagged, so it's not likely unpaid or even underpaid taxes. The leftists will make hay of anything that's in them regardless of tax codes.

The only thing that could possibly be embarrassing is he may not be as personally rich as he has portrayed. The other angle of attack they seem to be going down is that his taxes may show differing valuations for some of his properties vs what they been appraised for insurance and other taxing purposes. The bottom line is this, Trump doesn't do his own taxes, so the most that can be done would be to fine his corporation and claw back any money the government thinks is underpaid or owed. They've banged up the CFO on literally bullshit nonsense. Trump is the cleanest person ever to run for politics if after 5 years of the LE/IC/Deep State leaving no stone unturned, they still have got nothing.

They don't understand why we supported Trump so that's harmless. 2) it's to publicly hound those he does business with. At this point, they've all had enough warning what's coming. Those burned deserve it for being weak and/or stupid. 3) the only question is, why is the billionaire on defense? No offense.

Again, thank you for everything you all did for the NoVaMoMe. Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice. Asymptomatic raycist at July 31, 2021 07:43 AM (3D/fK) We are doing great. Had the entire herd of grandchildren over last night so son and DIL could get some R&R. Kept them up past their bedtime and now they are still asleep. Score! We greatly enjoyed meeting you folks too.

My liver is going to give out if I hear anything more about Biles Posted by: REDACTED at July 31, 2021 07:44 AM (YK4Qh) It's just interpretive leftism. She's really going for the Westpoint Military Academy's definition of GOAT. Dead fucking last, least contributor to a team. Would have been dropped, but reasons. Posted by: BifBewalski (yW8tN) - damnit! When did that happen? at July 31, 2021 07:47 AM (yW8tN) 284
The term "outfield" implies those players are less than and is clearly white supremacist. "Field" also harkens back to slave days. It will be referred to as the playing surface. They will be left, right and center playing surface managers.

Fortunately, this is as easy as they come. 1) Buy HRR. 2) Buy hand-tooled holsters. 3) Change nic to Lash LaRue. 4) File range report on gub thread. Easy peasy. That will be .25 quatloos.

I think if the entire story about Biles's withdrawal from the Olympics comes out, it won't be very creditable to her. What does get me annoyed is the media Simone Biles Enablement Complex that attacks anyone who questions her divinity. She cracked mentally at a vital time. It happens and it's too bad that she revealed herself to be human. But instead we're being told that this is another sign of her greatness. Sorry, I'm not buying it.

So I know not to get medical advice on the net, but... my ankles and feet have been swelling up. I think(?) some skin cells died because the tops of my feet have more freckles.
Low circulation? Aspirin seems to stop the swelling. Maybe warning signs of diabetes? Stopped all sugar intake. No worries, I AM going to have the doc check me out next week, but I was wondering if these were standard symptoms of something.

Lots of things can cause foot swelling. Age and Working out in the heat can do it. Heart problems, kidney problems are on the list. You need to be examined.

"Slap hot iron to it."
Actually did that as a kid. Remember the old electric charcoal starters for BBQ? Dad set it down in the grass, I come out (age 5?) to show him my new Snoopy and OF COURSE plant both feet on it. Baylor Emergency Room actually interrogated my Ps for child abuse, because I was so accident prone that they had come to recognize me by name. I visited once a month LOL Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at July 31, 2021 08:04 AM (49Exr) 321
"You need to be examined."
Yup. I've been putting it off but I will do that. Stupid to wait. There's a little fear, but it's probably something that can be fixed if I let the doc catch it in time. Posted by: Hoyt's Paid Turkish Provocateur at July 31, 2021 08:05 AM (49Exr) 322
How quitting under pressure is actually a winning trait..
** Apparently CNN reported that - Biles being pro-BLM and pro-violence (she stated that herself) - she was being pressured to protest by her BLM cohorts and chose to quit instead in order to attempt to placate both sides. Sorry, dear. That's not how it works. Enjoy your BLM friends. Posted by: Moron Robbie - trust the science, not the experts at July 31, 2021 08:06 AM (4OtGp) 323

I know the Biles stuff is a dead, moldering horse at this point, but our FM talker had some guest on from "inside" the weird gymnastics world. He was speculating that a LOT more abuse allegations are going to come out before the closing ceremonies.
He jogged my memory re: the gross coach who molested all those girls. Apparently Biles was a part of that. Also, Japan banned most common medications from coming into county. If she was on any anti-depressant, even legal by WADA standards, and was forced to go cold-turkey, that WILL mess you up. I had vertigo for about a month after stopping Celexa.
