Willowed:
Anyway, since I'm signing off for the night - I think charging (and, ultimately, arresting) Trump is really the final play for the Deep State. They would be gambling that Americans are so cowed / depressed / concentrated on surviving that they will simply shrug their shoulders at the arrest and prosecution of an opposition party's leader. If that is their thinking, and if they get away with it, then all the scary boomsticks in the country might as well be pop guns for all the good they will do. Good night, all. See you tomorrow.

Was it what was mentioned on another thread - the asshole saying he has enough to charge Trump? So he charges him. Even arrests him. In the words of Officer Malone, "What are you prepared to do?"

>>Can I have the silver linings from all your clouds? Clearly, you are not using them. If they indict and arrest Trump, there isn't much that we can do about it. Which is why you suddenly have a lot of swamp creatures like Asa Hutchinson, et al crawling out of the woodwork saying we have to move on from Trump.

Because they don't exist. It's bullshit - the idea that ever cloud has a silver lining. Sometimes; most times, really, if you believe in all the written shit in history books; its misery all the way down. Ask the Carthaginians about the "silver lining". Ask the friggin' Ukrainians during the Holodomor. Ask the Jews that didn't get out while the gettin' was good. Silver Linings. Keep all of mine as well. They're bullshit.

Have you ever been sitting around thinking "how could I make blaster really, really like me?"
The way you could do that is by making me my favorite cookies. Peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss in the middle. You would be my best friend. Or at least a really good one. So at the NoVaMoMe sra blaster's ticket was drawn for a prize so she sent me up and I saw on the table a tin. The label on the tin said Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies made by bluebell from a recipe in the Deplorable Cookbook. I have eaten most of the cookies now. And bluebell is on the really, really good friend list. Whether she likes it or not. Posted by: blaster at June 13, 2022 07:41 PM (6TxNR) 52

Got in the new Macross art book that includes all series including the one Shoji Kawamori considers non-cannon since Studio Nue was not involved.
It shows the evolution of the fighters in the universe from the VF-14D Tomcat of Macross Zero to the VF-31s of Macross Delta. But strangely after two goes through the illustrated list, still can't find the VF-2SS from Macross II: Lovers Again. Weird nyah. Posted by: Anna Puma at June 13, 2022 07:41 PM (NHj8C) 54
From the " I wish everybody knew this America' dept.
Head to town and the check engine light comes on and the temp gauge is at 200 and rising. Pull into a friends place, we diagnose the belt problem. He gives me his truck, I go buy the belt and pick up the guy that works for my mechanic. We go back, he replaces belt and all is well. Auto parts guy didn't have the belt I needed but he calls around, finds one and sends his help to go get it.

Horde, just found out my little brother burned his feet. 3rd deg burns. He has no feeling in his feet so didn't know he was burning them on hot concrete or how bad the burns were. He did it Friday and didn't get into a doc until today. His local clinic sent him to the er this morning. He has infection creeping up his legs. On IV antibiotics. Not the first time he's burned his feet for lack of sensation. On top of this hes in the middle of a divorce. Anyway prayer is needed. Thanks.

About 10 years ago I stayed at this hotel which has now sadly gone out of business. The whole place was built on wooden stilts and after the rainy season the river level grows dramatically and the entire place is over the river. After the dry season the river shrink and most of it is out of the water. They had photos and some snake artifacts at place and some were as big as that guy in the video. We went on a hike with a guide through the jungle one day. My head was on a swivel. https://www.ariauamazontowers.com Posted by: JackStraw at June 13, 2022 07:48 PM (ZLI7S) 77

I was going to ask: where feather boa?
But instead i will opine on the fire escape. It looks gravity powered, so just has to be activated from top. Like door. That is OK. But fire escape has to be wide enough for people to walk down while fully equipped fireman walks up. This is not trivial. That would fail. It also has to be 100% reliable in rain, snow, intense heat, etc, and I doubt that would work (the heat is before fire dept. starts spraying to allow people to leave. This is why fire escapes are always open.) I wonder how it works of someone on floor 5 wants to escape, but later it is activated from floor 10. I fear someone will get hit on head as it drops the new stairs above. Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at June 13, 2022 08:08 PM (2GKea) 126

So now we have all of the market gains during Biden are wiped out. There is no scenario on the horizon where the markets improve between now and November. So people will legitimately be realizing that they are now poorer from an asset valuation standpoint than they were in 2020.
And also the value of a dollar has lost over 20%. And their house is worth less. And they are paying more to borrow money. The Democrats are looking at an electoral wipe out right now. I don't see any scenario that improves their position between now and November, and a lot of scenarios where it gets worse. Posted by: Dave in Fla at June 13, 2022 08:17 PM (5p7BC) 149

Another option is to make it electric. (the fire escape, that is.) A lot of fire doors work that way where they require electricity to stay open, and if power goes off they shut.
If electric, then each floor could have a button to cut power and drop the thing starting at the top. It would also need a delayed release to keep them safe until it is done. But after a year or two it will stop working anyway. Better to give everyone an umbrella and tell them to jump. Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at June 13, 2022 08:24 PM (2GKea) 163

From a pure politics standpoint, this is an unmitigated disaster. The two top issues for voters are cost of living and the economy, combined 48% of voters consider those the most important issues.

After being missing in action for 71 years his family was notified last year that his remains had been located and identified. PFC Lilley will be escorted to his resting place by a motorcade led by Westerville Police and other police and fire agencies after a 1:00 PM memorial service in Westerville. We do not have exact times on the motorcade but there will be traffic restrictions and direction around the cemetery when it arrives.

As of today, 46.6% of likely voters are going to vote for the Republican candidate in their district. 37.4% will vote for the Democrat candidate.
Again, I see no scenario that improves this for Democrats. The only issue that moves the needle for them is maybe abortion, but at 7.5% that can at best move 1.2% of the voters from undecided to voting Democrat. These numbers are brutal.

175 Jack - You called it right. This is a disaster.
From a pure politics standpoint, this is an unmitigated disaster. The two top issues for voters are cost of living and the economy, combined 48% of voters consider those the most important issues. Abortion is 4th at 7.5%. Disapproval of Biden's handling of the economy is 61.7% with 47.4% strongly disapproving. Someone is going to take the blame for this, and the voters blame Biden personally. Posted by: Dave in Fla at June 13, 2022 08:28 PM (5p7BC) Ordinarily, this would make me happy. But after having predicted it for a long time, it's still very disconcerting to watch the Greater Depression start to set it. Especially the part where it's going to keep getting worse every month for the next 2 years at least, no matter what anyone does. We've made far too many big mistakes, there's simply no way of avoiding any of that now. The best we can hope for is to have our people in positions of control so that we have a say when the rebuilding from the ashes finally gets started.

Dominion wasn't how the fraud was done. It was absentee voter fraud. I figured everyone knew that by now.
Democrats will win a number of districts that they actually lose, the question is how many they think they can just blatantly steal through mail in fraud without going to jail. California will be the number 1 place for that, and will probably end up with 5 seats remaining in Democrat hands that shouldn't be there. Possible that they will steal Bobert's seat in CO too. But that will be offset by Florida sending 20 Republican seats. Posted by: Dave in Fla at June 13, 2022 08:51 PM (5p7BC) 234
The GOP candidates are going to sweep Congress, but this is a hard point to make clear to people - it's not going to make much of a difference in the big picture. That's not really because the GOP Leadership (such as it is) is worthless, although they are.
The real reason is that Congress has become the Joke branch of government. To borrow a phrase, Congressmen and Senators today are just walking shadows, poor players that strut and fret their hour on the stage, and then are heard no more. Their story is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. so much of what we take for granted now has to be destroyed before we can ever begin to recover - for some reason, I'm feeling the weight of it today.

So you remember that I posted about three or four days ago that there was a billboard up here overnight saying something like
RURAL INTERNET ACCESS EXPANDING THANK YOU PRESIDENT BIDEN THANK YOU GOVERNOR COOPER And I looked it up and what "access" meant wasn't that they were going to run infrastructure so people would have actual access, but that Biden and Cooper were going to give people who made under $50K $30/month to pay for accessing existing internet. That was the "expanding access." Whelp, that billboard was vandalized when I drove by today.

But I do think after this election takes place, the Left will abandon Biden completely and his approval rating will fall into the low teens. At that point, I think his own people will find some way to remove him from office.

Critical Drinker side bar: This is what happened to the book industry. When I started selling books in '88, there were many, many publishing houses. And these publishers were content to make a gentleman's 5% profit. A couple years later, merger mania hit the book industry. Publishers bought each other out, generating loads of debt to service. Then, they got big enough to draw the attention of the big congloerates. The big guys sat the publishers down and told them that not only did they have to produce the same 15% profit as every other company in the conglomerate, they had to service the debt they had accumulated and the cost of the conglomerate's purchase of them. The publishers moved to a different business model, one that was best seller driven. Stephen King, Danielle Steel, and Tom Clancy never earned out their advances, but the publishers went crazy bidding on their next books. (To be cont'd)

You know guys,
Sometimes when the big stuff gets so overwhelmingly awful and everything seems broken and pointless, you just have to unplug for a bit and focus on the stuff that actually affects your daily life. Your family. Your friends. Going for a walk in the woods or the beach or a hike in the mountains. Take a ride on a rollercoaster. Go for a drive somewhere you've never been. There's a lot out there to miss if all you do is freak out about stuff we have no real power over. Peace and love. Posted by: nurse ratched at June 13, 2022 09:50 PM (U2p+3) 460

We should have been at 4.5% or higher over a decade ago. Posted by: garrett at June 13, 2022 09:52 PM (mWmWa) I think printing all the money was the bigger problem. Also, I wonder how much of a magnified effect the money sent to everyone had? That is stuff people spent right away so it is out in the wild immediately. Seems like it would have a magnified effect as opposed to just giving it to a bank who might hold on to it. I do not understand economics well, but it fascinates me.

Posted by: Tom Servo at June 13, 2022 09:43 PM You might think that. But once you get the engineers to publicly confess to their wrecking, and plead for their own punishment, then everything gets worse for half a century until it folds in on itself once and for all. Pretty ideal, when you think about it. Posted by: Guy who will be dead of natural causes by then at June 13, 2022 09:54 PM (2TSML) 478

Posted by: Commissar Hrothgar (hOUT3) ~ This year in Corsicana! ~ at June 13, 2022 09:45 PM (hOUT3) Worse. The complex system DIDN'T come about because of top-down planning and the best efforts of "Top Men". Successful systems generate out of necessity. It's an organic function, if you believe in capitalism. Socialism / Communism / The New Soviet Man / The Ivy League would be able to create, destroy, modify, or mute as necessary the systems that produce sustainable productivity. They can't. Because that's not how sustainable systems evolve. To believe in Capitalism is to believe in the wisdom of the collective will, making infinite stupid decisions, yet a group wisdom evolving out of that chaos, via each cell copying what does or does not work. If "years and years of planning" was the key - every Five Year Plan would work. Years and Years of Planning is exactly opposite of why Free People thrive. If you believe in Capitalism.
