@nobodyssock said in Trump surprises supporters at President’s Day rally: @horace said in Trump surprises supporters at President’s Day rally: People born and raised in the most liberal parts of CA, and who never leave, are among the most myopic, politically blindered people in all of America. NS is a perfect example. I can think of at least a couple others over on WTF. You guys are so funny with your assumptions. Which are usually dead wrong as is the case here. I did not vote for Newsom, and I live in a conservative hotbed of California. Sounds like you're just projecting Horace. Try again. You all just shoot messengers. But what can I expect from brainwashed gullible folks? Sure you do...

@lufins-dad said in 'Honest Joe' - any truth to this article?: Yep. To me it seems like it left harbor when W was elected, but frankly, it may have been earlier... I wasn’t really paying attention. Clinton evil

This is just a brief office visit. It's not like it's something permanent, like say tncr.

Staying with the online schooling for the boy until next September. By then both of us should have our vaccinations. My wife will probably get hers in the next few weeks being that she is a health care worker. I expect mine in June or July. Roll out here is slow and poorly organized at the provincial level.

Even if it's not COVID, she should not have to meet with a student who exhibits signs of illness. I hated when students did that to me. I would make them get away from me in the classroom. They are too young, or too stupid, or too something to realize how rude and unreasonable it is, even when it's not a pandemic.

@doctor-phibes said in Worst attack on the Capital since 1812?: The world isn't actually divided into Trump supporters and detractors. Don't let anyone else hear you say that Trump is not a global phenomenon. His whole schtick is based on being a more global than even George Soros.

he said 'firmly'. heh.

Actually, I thought the part about the materials jumping 5% in a week was interesting. I need to build a shed. Nothing spectacular, probably a 10x16 or 12x16, 5/12 gable on a 2x6 perimeter and 2x6 floor joists. Probably do trusses for the rafters. T 1-11 siding. The materials are outrageous. Darn near $7 for a stud.

@george-k said in More on "The Lincoln Project": @jolly said in More on "The Lincoln Project": And NOBODY at the The Lincoln Project knew any anal sex with fourteen year-old boys was happening. NOBODY. They knew...back in March. https://19thnews.org/2021/02/lincoln-project-founders-march/?utm_campaign=19th-social&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social Some of the leaders of the embattled Lincoln Project knew about sexual harassment allegations against co-founder John Weaver as early as March, multiple sources, including the group’s former executive director, told The 19th late Monday. The Lincoln Project on Monday evening announced it had hired the law firm Paul Hastings to conduct a “comprehensive review of our operations and culture” and released current and former workers from nondisclosure agreements to discuss their “workplace environment.” Weaver has been accused of sexually harassing more than a dozen men, including some connected to the Lincoln Project. “We are committed to creating a positive, diverse, and inclusive workplace environment at The Lincoln Project and inappropriate behavior by anyone associated with the organization will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We have already taken decisive action to address internal concerns,” co-founder Reed Galen told The 19th in a statement early Tuesday. Remember, this is the organization that wanted to restore ethics to politics. Oh, I made that comment with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Much as Valerie Plame's identity, many in Washington knew about Mr. Weaver.

Breaking: Hannah Lilly has been convicted for her role in an #antifa riot on 23 Sept 2020 in Portland. Antifa threw Molotov cocktails at police that night. She pleaded guilty to felony arson & felony criminal mischief. She's only sentenced to probation, community service & a fine I think it's disturbing, and an existential threat, that our fascistic pro-Trump culture would impose any penalty on this virtuous young white woman.

wow that's beautiful.

Well, two out of three ain't bad...

Jolly, that's assuming that there are any real conservatives remaining on the right side of the aisle. Conservatism whether in North America or Europe, has in the last 20 or so years, morphed into a frightfully distasteful brand of reactionary politics. Having said that, the Left has incoherently radicalized itself through its identity politics, intolerance and, abandonment of the working person to name but a few of its myriad of faults. But as far as conservatives and conservatism goes, although I'm not at all sure, I am hopeful that the real ones are still there and will soon make their rational Burkian voices heard again to the benefit of us all. Don't bother responding though. I have no desire to argue with you or anyone here about my stand on this or any issues I comment. The fact of the matter is that what I think and believe doesn't matter at all and, at the end of the day, I really don't care whether or not anyone shares my views or is outraged by my opinions or quips.

Shame they don't teach history anymore. I was watching a new episode of American Pickers last night, and they were picking a guy's extensive WW2 collection. The man said he often had teachers bring their classes through, for some hands-on history. Sadly, he said many of the kids did not even have a rudimentary knowledge of the major powers in WW2 or why the war occurred. And these are kids that are currently in a WW2 study module.

I suspect you are right, Jon. Their essential worker status is pretty obvious.
