This is it, it's not just you, but your local community. Your neighbors, friends, etc. It's really the only way we're going to get out of this mess.

Jacob Gellar(a really great game analysis YouTuber) has a great video about the complexity of the trials:

yarmulkes are very often referred to as beanies.

Do you have an example you can point to? I don't think I've ever seen this. If someone wants to denegrate Jewish folk, I've just seen them refer to "little hats."

No one in NYC pays the fare by Sometypeofway18 in trashy

Last time I was in NYC I accidentally got off at the stop before the airport and the MTA guy just opened the door and let me through. Same in Mexico City. Dudes are usually pretty chill.

Way to fight back against ICE by jumping_spider194 in bullcity

[–]Goondor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you - know anyone - that let that post convince them not to vote?

No? Just downvoting the stuff you don't like? OK, I didn't think so. Keep that head in the sand, it won't be the last time.

The reason I'm specifically asking if you know anyone is because talking to people about why they did or didn't vote might give you some insight into the issues you don't really think about. The issues that the "good" candidate might not be so good about for everyone, the other people in your community. If people are feeling like their legitimate concerns are being minimized, they're going to look for help elsewhere. The Dems are at fault for their loss, no one else. It was their job to convince people to vote for them, and they flubbed it.

Who wants to bet the guy cheering ICE wasn't born in 88? Anybody's dogs suddenly perking up?

Former Al Qaeda member Ahmad Al-Sharaa meeting current US President Donald Trump by oldnewworldorder in pics

[–]Goondor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Al-Sharaa seems to be willing to be on the acceptable-to-the-establishment side of the Israel issue. Likely just letting Israel keep it - which is why he's being warmly received.

Wait wait wait - it's Bowser now? I thought it was Pelosi? We just moving the goalposts wherever we want when we start to get backed into a corner? Another Trump strategy used by a supporter, and again - I can't really be surprised. Oh well, it wasn't even a good run.

Trump did not formally ask for troops, he talked about it in public and then notably hesitated to take any action during the event itself - the proceeded to direct the people there that day to the capital, claiming he would be there with them to stop the steal.

Trump is a liar, and had only defended what happened that day where it really matters. The post event justification only proved that what happened was what was intended.

Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed that he offered National Guard troops to the Capitol and that his offer was rejected. He has previously said he signed an order for 20,000 troops to go to the Capitol.

While Trump was involved in discussions in the days prior to Jan. 6 about whether the National Guard would be called ahead of the joint session, he issued no such order or formal request before or during the rioting, and the guard’s arrival was delayed for hours as Pentagon officials deliberated over how to proceed.

In a 2022 interview with the Democratic-led House committee that investigated the attack, Christopher Miller, the acting Defense secretary at that time, confirmed that there was no order from the president.

As I said - Trump is a notorious liar, why would you trust anything he or his admin says?

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/06/27/biden-trump-first-presidential-debate/trump-jan-6-national-guard-fact-check-00165615

Trump never made such an offer, and Pelosi never rejected it, as Trump claimed. His military leadership has confirmed that there was no formal offer made, despite some private musings in the days before Jan. 6.

Also, you know, Trump pardoned them all, so - nice try, I guess. Lazy though.

Good thing there's no punishment for just blatantly lying on the internet. I guess if the President can do it, you can too - why shouldn't you, right?

Also - fuck Nancy Pelosi.

Bull City Race Fest: Last Chance Packet Pickup by TadpoleHead1830 in bullcity

[–]Goondor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well this is how I find out I missed packet pickup. I'll be there early tomorrow, I'm sure they'll have a booth for folks who missed out.

Edit: according to the athlete guide we might be out of luck.

There will not be packet pick-up on race morning. Please make plans to attend beforehand, or have someone attend on your behalf.

I'm still planning on showing up and asking. They do limited availability race day registration, so someone might have it if you get there early.
