@Horace said in Russia’s Constitutional Amendments: If you were Russian, you could only be engaged to a woman. That's news to me. I thought if you were Russian, you could only be engaged to serious books, Vodka, and trying to find new windshield wipers for your Lada. Isn't that right, Renauda? In Russia, you will only be allowed to be engaged to a woman, as long as she can pull a plow, or your Lada. Gay will become acceptable in time, since they no longer make Ladas, and Volgas were too heavy for the average female. I hope you can all tell that my pain meds have kicked in, and it feels so good for the f'n back pain to let up. I'll post again once the pain and depression set in, just so you'll know it's me.

The mayor updates her thoughts and concludes negotiations. https://komonews.com/news/local/this-is-just-the-beginning-chop-protesters-plan-to-continue-movement Locally decided as it should have been. Protestors vow to soldier on, maybe to a more accommodating audience?

@89th said in A Symbol of Hate: @Horace said in A Symbol of Hate: Trump could do some good if he got some people to feed him some facts regarding policing and skin color, and just blast those facts over twitter. Just doing the rhetorical battle like he does is useless. Let the whole MSM try to tear down the real facts. They won't be able to without talking about the facts, which is better than we get now. Agreed. The raw stats are undeniable, and shockingly low and unsupportive of the “racist killings everywhere!” BLM narrative. Yes, and goes to show how BLM is not what it appears to be. When their leadership states with pride, they are "trained Marxists" it's obvious the BLM part is simply a tool, as are the protesters.

I'd settle for a budget freeze.

Reminds me of the old days, if you hit a teacher, instant expulsion. Now, not the case. Except, if the teacher hits back at the student, instant removal of the teacher from the classroom while an internal investigation takes place. Note this scenario would be different depending on the State.

It sounds like this was about the accident victim. There is more to the story.

@Jolly said in The Summer SCOTUS Rumor: @Axtremus said in The Summer SCOTUS Rumor: @Jolly said in The Summer SCOTUS Rumor: (... can you imagine what Biden will bring to the bench?) You may not need to "imagine"; Biden said he will release his list of possible Supreme Court nominees before the general election: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/505311-biden-to-release-list-of-possible-supreme-court-nominees Good. Then the whole world will know what's coming. Assuming this lifer hack politician keeps his word.

The pope washes feet. But this year he skipped it because of the wuflu.

Apparently, that was the source for the mother that tested positive and went to her kid's graduation that I posted about a few days ago (and the kid tested negative...Go figure).

Is it just me or is that hair way too long?  

@Doctor-Phibes said in When there is no doctor.: "OK, now what?" Yep, that's a good one.

@jon-nyc said in Christopher Hitchens: It would be very hard to not have held differing views than him at times. I saw him debate once when he still wrote for the nation and was not yet famous. There were drinks afterward Stephen Fry hosted a tribute to him when he was very ill, and one of his friends said you could go out with him in the evening and drink so much that you woke up the next morning with a hangover that would last about a week and half, and then stagger into the living room to find he'd just written two articles.

@Larry said in Speaking privilege to power: e, or a peacock. He kind of walked like a velociraptor in Jurassic Park. It looked like he might be taking hormones because he had the beginnings of some boobs. Yeah, kinda thought that, too.

Get a good look at it while you can.

And they don't even make a sound, at least not much sound..

I do not believe that BLM protesters are out there protesting for their opportunity to go to school and get a middle class job and work it for the rest of their lives. Quantitative equality such as that is just not that appealing to any segment of the left. To say nothing of the by now obvious fact that that opportunity exists, as the whole country, right and left, has bent over backwards to ensure, for decades.
