Monday Overnight Open Thread (2/12/24)
Quote I “I can tell you voted for Biden. You already bought that VIP ticket. I already got that $42.” “Buy a t-shirt on the way out too. I got a Make America Roast Again shirt in the style of Trump,” Comedian David Lucas
Quote II “Things can become an eyesore quickly. And the being in the center of the village like that, you can’t just let it go.” Michael Disotelle, historian at Ilion's public library
Quote III “The DNC wants to deny millions of people their basic constitutional voting rights in a relentless onslaught against democracy." American Values 2024 co-chair Tony Lyons
Quote IV “The big difference is that there’s nothing in the world that lowers your blood alcohol content like our patented beverage,” Safety Shot’s CEO, Brian John
Quote V "So y'all can stop texting me and emailing me and saying that I'm a white girl and that I don't deserve reparations." The View panelist Sunny Hostin.
Oh you deserve something alright.....
Don't worry about MushHead. Kamala 'Head Hunter' Harris is ready to
‘I Am Ready To Serve’: Kamala Harris Responds To Concerns Over Biden’s Age Harris was asked by the Journal if voters’ concerns about Biden’s age “mean she must convince them she is ready to serve,” and Harris said she is ready to serve, “there’s no question about that.” Harris was interviewed by the Journal on Tuesday—before the Thursday release of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified data, which while not pursuing criminal charges against him, characterized him as appearing to be a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”Do you remember when SNL was funny? Chevy Chase's Gerald Ford's routine was funny. Does SNL have the courage to take on MushHead's gracefulness? Nah.
Mental illness is not a laughing matter. It needs to be addressed in a serious matter. I've said for years that identifying as a member of the opposite sex is a mental illness. How many mass shootings by a "Transgender" individual have to occur before we say, "No more enabling those with a mental illness."?
The woman who carried a rifle into Pastor Joel Osteen’s megachurch on Sunday, opening fire and wounding two, including a 5-year-old boy, was reportedly transgender. A “woman” named Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, who previously identified as Jeffery Escalante, reportedly brought the long gun into Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas along with the child before opening fire, wounding a 57-year-old man in the leg and critically wounding the child. He was brought down by security at the church, according to KHOU 11. NBC News cited two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter to report that the rifle had the word “Palestine” written on it.But that question will not be addressed by the press or politicians. Perhaps they would if the

Holden Armenta, the 9-year-old child who is suing Deadspin after one of their writers tried to cancel him, showed up to Super Bowl LVIII in a Native headdress after a grassroots effort raised over $11,000 to send him to the game. Armenta, who Deadspin writer Carron Phillips accused of racism for wearing a Native headdress and painting his face at a Chiefs game in an article, showed up to the game in the same garb that stirred Phillips’ outrage in the first place. The lawsuit against Deadspin was filed Feb. 6 in Delaware.It shouldn't have been a grassroots effort. It should have been a judgment award to the young man.

LOS ANGELES — A principal at a San Gabriel elementary school was put on leave of absence by district administrators after pretending to shoot kids and announcing that children were "dead" during an active shooter lockdown drill, according to parents and staff. The incident, which is under investigation by the school district, occurred Wednesday at Washington Elementary and involved Nina Denson, who has served as principal of the school since fall 2023. Parents and staff members at the school told KTLA-TV that Denson pretended to shoot students during the drill using her fingers to represent a gun and announced that seven children had been killed

Most of the homeless (who aren't wet or ice backs) have mental issues. But, society can't institutionalize them or force them to take meds. They have rights. I thought tax payers had a right to walk on a city sidewalk that didn't have shit on them from a 2 legged animal.
I have 2 nephews who think they are trans. Nasty divorce between my bro and his ex. Of course they were carried in utero while mommy to be smoked pot along with daddy to be. Throw in alcohol and tobacco and no spiritual up bringing and you are going to have fucked up kids. I feel for them. I'm pissed at their parent.

>>Couldn't have happened to a nicer shrew.
She doesn't deserve and no black people deserve reparations for the simple fact that there are no black people still alive who have suffered from slavery and there are no people still around who benefited from slavery.
At the end of the Civil War, the population of the US was a little over 30 million, we are now a country of over 350 million, the vast overwelming majority of those people have, literally, zero connection to slavery at all.
If you want to go a little further, the population of the US when the 1964 civil rights bill was passed was 187M, today 350M or roughly 163 Million people, at a minimum, have zero to do with anything related to Jim Crow or segregation.

During Mass yesterday, I sat behind a beautiful family of 11. All 9 children were under 12 or so. All the boys were wearing suits, even the little guys under 4, with nice neat haircuts. All the girls and Mom were wearing long dresses and veils - even the infant in Mother's arms. The kids were very well behaved and happy, and as prayerful as their ages allowed.
It was a glorious sight. It did this jaded old man good.

Funny thing about SS checks. According to the Treasury Department in the 30s, SS payouts are not taxable, because they were taken after taxes, not before. But Congress decided they wanted more money, so now we pay taxes on the money we already paid taxes on.

And intelligent, independent, and intensely loving creatures. What seems to throw some folks off is that they *choose* who they want to associate with, and interact on their own terms. It's the polar opposite of dogs, which I love as well, and people are often puzzled as a result. Setting aside those who have a phobia for cats or those who aren't fond of their ways, I've noticed a strong correlation between people who hate cats with a passion and that individual's likelihood to be misogynistic.

For years in CA there has been a huge push by the enviro-nazis to replace your water-hogging lawn with expensive artificial grass. Now you see that shit everywhere.
Now the enviro-nazis have decided that fake grass leaches poisons into the water table. A few cities have already banned it and are requiring staged removal of existing installations.
You can't win with those fuckers.

They were a very big deal to me as a teenager because of Morrison's Cool Image especially because in those days there was nothing to be known except the Cool Story. As an adult the Dark Lizard King stuff mostly just sounds juvenile. But the majority of the music was unique and very good. One of the mysteries of them to me is why the rest of them couldn't do diddley of any importance without Jim. Jim didn't even hum several of the big hits at them. None of them were nuts or hopeless addicts. Its always been odd to me.

Wait until they learn what it takes to create expensive golf carts. The amount of destructive mining it takes to create green energy not to mention the amount energy it takes to create things like lithium ion batteries and solar panels dwarf's any "green" savings they imagine.
And in a few years we are going to be looking for a new Yucca Mountain to house all of the batteries and solar panels that can't go into landfills because of toxic chemicals. They will never admit they have been wrong all along but they have been.

The impression I get from these online sites is that at least some of these autistic people are self diagnosing. I think there might also be something going on with school employees pushing autism diagnosis, similarly to how a number of years ago they were labeling kids as ADHD. But the reason I'm wondering about autism being related to mom ingesting drugs, is that a relative of mine is epileptic. She takes anti seizure meds and one of her children is definitely autistic. Their other child is normal.

Well the First French Republic was basically proto-communazi repression and it was directly spawned by the salons of the Enlightenment, so....
I like to think of it kind of like one of those moralist painting sequences that were all the rage in the 18th century. Enlightenment had two children, Individual and Collective. Individual moved away from home, was very independent, and did incredibly well for itself while producing a great bounty for its own family and friends. Collective stayed home, got spoiled, and became a resentful, nasty, thuggish brute that ruined everyone and everything it touched.
Alas, it transpires that Individual was--like the problem of the third generation--so wrapped up in its own affairs that those children were in turn spoiled and are starting to look a lot like their terrible uncle...

He has been ridiculed for playing on JFK's legacy, i.e., because relatively few voters remember the Kennedy years. I dissent from that view. Those who didn't live through the Kennedy years still know who JFK was. I thought his commercial was attention grabbing & effective.

Not in my experience - they seem to see it as a gift to the person they love. Our last kitty would catch wrens, sparrows, and lizards and carefully tuck them in his mouth so as not to harm them further and bring them in. "Hey, I've got something we can play with!" Some very confused and frightened wrens, sparrows, and lizards, but we were usually able to rescue them.

Mnuchin has done a few interviews where he's addressed the topic. One of his key points is that one of the reasons for the tariffs on China, which were working, was to use some of that money collected from China to start paying down the debt. And then the virus hit and everything went to shit.

Right, but think of it as a scale model. The principle behind the idea is still valid. A respected, politically neutral committee studies the problems, hears testimony, & then presents a proposal. Congress has to vote the whole thing up or down without amending it.

Marines gotta have the acres and unfettered scope to run their base The Marine Way. Even if it's a 40 acre detachment off of a Naval Air Station, when on the Marine's grounds, it's to be run the Marine way.
Navy needs it's own places for the same reasons.
And neither can even remotely support the needs and requirements of the USAF CONUS base requirements.
Navy ain't got the Dining Halls and the Army can't produce the Golf Courses. Know what else the Army doesn't have? 10,000 ft. heavily reinforced, bomber-grade runways, taxiways, aprons and hangars.
The Services are NOT interchangeable.
Only a McNamara or other egg-headed beancounter would think such a thing wise. And would be WRONG!

There are tons of examples, but look at Beeville, Texas. Every naval aviator used to go through there for training, a small town that supported the base and the aviators that went through there remembered it. They crushed that town a few decades ago and in place of the naval air station, they gave them a maximum state prison. That kind of changed the general atmosphere.
In the northern Virginia/DC area They never lose a base they only increase in size or add more military elements to the original bases.

My point is you’re not going to flip a city you’re not going to flip Richmond you’re not going to flip Houston, these people are trenched leftists and nothing can change their view.
I have always said Texas should change the rules and reign in these cities. Other states have done likewise Virginia was one of them when Republicans were in charge, they made law that the cities in check.

Rain earlier. Now it's snowing in northern Queens near LAG but nothing's sticking yet as it was so warm the last few days.

Chicago is hit by the wind of change:
Democrats flip on Brandon Johnson over migrant crisis in Windy City - as they warn mayor it's his and Biden's fault for backing the 'sanctuary cities'
Johnson is going to have another spell of whatever mental health crisis he experienced earlier this year.

I’ve been a member here for at least 10 years and I forget my first Nick when posting, but I contacted Ace and he hat tipped me almost 20 years ago. It was about daily kos making light of the 911 remembrance..
I became homeless in the last month of 2022 and I don’t think I posted here until well into 2023. No one ever asked about me. That was a wake up call I guess. I’ve always been devoted to this site and I’m not going to join another because I don’t think that much of the Internet. Though I think a few do like me or like the things I say, I don’t think anyone is my friend. That is OK, in many ways. It is a legit wake up call. This is not real life, but for many it is still important.
I have made no impact on anyone here, but it wasn’t for like of trying, that, was on me. Many here make that impact every day and that’s why I love this site.

Mostly though, I'm not educated well enough to 'jump in' to the main convos.

Sorry to hear of your homelessness. I do hope this is not still the case for you!

I appreciate you asking about me. I’m doing OK. I know we all have our life challenges. Mine aren’t the only ones around. I do love this site and I’ve been dedicated to it for a long time. But I’d never went to a Mo Meet. I wanted to go, but I never did.
We all have our challenges I know that and we all know that. I will say that homelessness is about as bad as it can get. The reason for that is to reach that level you have to lose pretty much all the things that civilization provides as in family support systems, friends, etc. For all those who have experienced it they had to have many support systems trip up.
I am thinking of working with the homeless as a career, even though that is the farthest thing from what I would’ve thought of myself or thought I would want to do. I can understand because I experienced it. But I did work every day. I did go out there and try to be productive.
People have helped me because of my military service and I am very grateful for
Posted by: Quint at February 13, 2024 04:05 AM (cESVi)
I don’t know if that is what I’m going to do with the rest of my career, but if I am affiliated with the homeless, I will at least be able to understand, even though most of them face much greater hardships than did I. No drugs or anything like that, I just ran out of cash real quick, and there were no places around to hold me up.
I know we bash government and NGO sometime, and for sure, the even are not perfect. But there were people there that helped me when I legit had no one else to turn to. I did work every day, doing deliveries and that saved my life. I paid for my own roof, even if it was just for one night, And it meant a lot in many ways.

Challenges, yep... support systems creaking, yep... (but we're okay so far.)
Sharing your experience and solutions could very well be life-altering, positive, for somebody else-- how thoughtful of you to consider it.

I want to live in that world and think about it and talk about it every day? But I am thinking about it, because I know many that work with the homeless have never experienced it. They do the best they can but I actually relate to realizing you don’t have a place in this world where someone will say. Hey crash here tonight.

She needed someone to listen. Why she left. What she experienced. How she survived. The continuing problems once she came home...
I guess it doesn't compare to your situation, really, because it was her 'choice' but the day-to-day she spoke of was horrifying to me.
Posted by: JQ at February 13, 2024 04:29 AM (njWTi)
I for sure did not run away, I was evicted because I ran out of money. Even though I cared for people better than me with melodies during my life, when it became my turn it wasn’t there. Again, I am legitimately not feeling sorry for myself. I’m just telling you honestly what happened.
There was a specific day, where I was no longer allowed to live in my home, and there was no plan whatsoever for the next day, no one had my back, and there was nowhere to go other than my vehicle. I stayed in my vehicle 20 days of the last 140 where I was actually homeless. The rest of the nights were in hotels but I had to come up with the rent or fair every night. There were no long-term deals. I had to check out every single night and trust me that is a chore.
I got enough people that were willing to help me as I helped myself. They didn’t give me anything I had to earn it first and then they would back me up, but I do respect the help. One person ever offered one night at their place not family friends or anyone else. If there’s only one negative thing, I learned about that it was that.
But again, I do live in my own place, I am OK,
