Willowed: The reports about Milei's success in Argentina in just five months have NOT been greatly exaggerated...his crusade to return Argentinian currency to its actual value has been the greatest success - that and letting the people of his country be free of government servitude under 80 years of idiotic and destructive socialist rule.
If Milei lasts for another two years, Argentina will be a paradise of freedom, wealth and production...if he lasts. Hardships needed to cure the patient are always hard to endure, and already the Argentinian legislation is balking at more cuts to the typical 80-year government pay outs system to criminal lay abouts - payments that were worthless anyway given the useless over inflated money there. But old habits are tough to correct, not after that many decades of useless labor culture... Still, give it two years - the way it's going, if Milei succeeds, might have to buy a retirement home in Buenos Aires. Posted by: Boswell at May 23, 2024 02:33 PM (K+UlC) 101

They don't reason. Granted we have some of that on the Right too, since humans gonna human, but leftards especially.
I had one telling me that Trump was named on a lawsuit against his father in the 1970s about denying housing to blacks. As far as they were concerned I'm neutral and hate all politicians which is what I tell leftards because it's 99% true anyway. I said Trump was given all kind of NAACP awards since but she said it didn't matter. So when I happened to "inform" said leftard about all the actual racist shit Joe Biden has said, some as recently as 2014, and among other things said he was proud of Delaware's good ol boy role in segregation among other things, she said......... "Well that was a long time ago" They don't reason. Posted by: ... at May 23, 2024 02:33 PM (fI2Ya) 105
DA Schmidt polled 19 points behind, but lost by only 8 points, which does not bode well for booting out other Portland leftists.
Schmidt is also still in office until January, giving him seven months to revenge himself on the voters, particularly given the upcoming Trump Riots in Portland. Posted by: The ARC of History! at May 23, 2024 02:33 PM (uxCna) 106

Jayapal had been backed by national figures of the progressive movement including her sister, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Barbara Lee (D-CA)
Dexter received mostly local endorsements including former Oregon Governors John Kitzhaber (D) and Ted Kulongoski (D), Oregon Senate President Rob Wagner (D), and Oregon Speaker of the House Julie Fahey (D). Once again proving that the locals don't really know what's best for them, and vote against their own interests. This will be fixed once we complete our rightful seizure of power.

I mean, I've done a lot of work on mass murder/etc. and I honestly consider it Just One Of Those Things That Human Beings Do.
I don't believe Da Holo-Cawst! was some Special Deal. Nope. Not after what I've seen. Not special at all.

220 My suggestion "Bring Back Bullying". Scare people and shame people into being normal.
I'd say there is far more bullying now that at any point in history. It is just targeted at normal people now Posted by: 18-1 at May 23, 2024 02:57 PM (ibTVg) +++++ Today's bullies do not follow Christ's admonition to bully out of love and, if your target does not redirect his path, love him some more with a couple of your buddies.

Remember the "Keep Portland Weird" bumper stickers.
________________ Don't they have such bumper stickers re Austin now? Since the '90s at least. I lived in Georgetown, in Williamson County about 20 miles north. Some businesses were distributing "Keep Georgetown Normal" bumper stickers. Posted by: Oddbob at May 23, 2024 03:08 PM (/y8xj) 264

Sidebar:
I'll be taking Memorial Day off. As usual, I will post open threads, most with interesting stuff in them, and a cafe. I probably will not blog news stuff unless there's an alien invasion. And if there's an alien invasion, I'd probably just post "Turn on Fox, there's an alien invasion." Well, there has been an ongoing alien invasion in this country for the past 3+ years... but I know what you meant. Speaking of illegal alien invasion... When asked if they'd rather grant amnesty to all aliens, or deport all aliens, the public answer 52% in favor of deporting all aliens, with only 36% supporting granting amnesty to all aliens, per new Rasmussen poll Sortof heartening? But still disheartening to see 36% supporting amnesty. I have to imagine that 18 years ago in 2006 when the GOPe was pushing amnesty, that 36% support number was probably lower? Which is why the 2006 amnesty failed. Posted by: Clyde Shelton at May 23, 2024 03:11 PM (P5BPp) 275

I've seen it already. It's rubbish. -Marvin the Robot I have seen that and love Kurzgesagt's videos, but I don't think we are capable of having these discussions. There's a fatal flow in our assumptions. We are here, therefore, it's possible. We assume we are behind all the other things, which is a reasonable assumption, but what if it were possible and we are at the knife's edge. Also possible.

I'm sure it was first said by a sassy black woman somewhere. FWIW, I've always thought "Keep Austin Weird" made about as much sense as "Keep Phoenix Hot." Like it was ever going to be otherwise. Posted by: Oddbob at May 23, 2024 03:14 PM (/y8xj) 286

MLB had a switch pitcher, so the switch pitcher vs switch hitter thing is already in the rules. Named for him, even: the Pat Venditte Rule.
He had a weird glove with a thumb on both sides so he could switch-pitch. Posted by: mikeski at May 23, 2024 03:18 PM (RsQu7) 290

even liberals in portland don't like being robbed, raped, knifed, assaulted, having massive tent cities all over the place and then watching this dumbfuck DA do nothing about it. Portland isn't as "liberal" as you think it is, its just the "mail in only voting" has corrupted the vote so much that Dems control everything. Once in a while a centrist breaks through, liike this guy.
