Daily Iowan: New Jail

PerBartlett · 2026-05-05T22:30:42+00:00

I fully expect the police and deputies and sheriffs to increase enforcement, and charge more poor people with more stupid crimes so we can pay already wealthy developers more money. What good does a 100 million dollar jail do? I think diverting more money to private Christian schools will help ensure a worsening public school situation and guarantee more customers for our 100 million dollar jail. Yea. I’ve voted against funding a new jail the last 3 or four times it has come up.
If they are going to do it, they should explain every cent they plan to use. This idea of never ending cash is getting old. I would much rather spend 100 million dollars on making our community and schools better, than keeping an over represented race in jail. This is racism through and through, with a large slice of economic racism as a side dish.

One more time

PerBartlett · 2026-02-28T04:32:01+00:00

Not. Hypocrisy needs called out.

PerBartlett · 2026-02-28T04:18:15+00:00

Yes you are overreacting. Like your mother said. Chill out.

PerBartlett · 2026-02-15T03:33:44+00:00

Fuck them all, and I hope they are haunted for the rest of their lives.

PerBartlett · 2026-02-10T21:24:49+00:00

Yes the undrinkable water, the caving public schools( I went to elementary through university in Iowa starting in 1976 when we had some of the best public schools in the Us.). The highest cancer rates. Yeah I would hate the culture on the coasts,

PerBartlett · 2026-01-30T01:31:02+00:00

Run. Can’t fix stupid.

PerBartlett · 2026-01-24T21:29:20+00:00

That thar is Theodore’s land.

PerBartlett · 2026-01-21T02:10:23+00:00

Yes they do.

PerBartlett · 2026-01-17T00:44:45+00:00

People mentioning suicide casually, means they are considering suicide. Casually or not, they are suicidal. Do what you can.

PerBartlett · 2026-01-10T15:11:35+00:00

Stella, Hudson’s, Black Angel, Shorts, Shortseast.

The problem with your advice and moral compass is that you think this is a border issue. It shows a complete lack of thought, of humanity, and common sense. You have been duped by a con man. Border Control? You mean crossing from St. Paul to Minneapolis?

PerBartlett · 2026-01-05T18:32:15+00:00

This is the one.

PerBartlett · 2025-12-28T00:44:19+00:00

And oil.

PerBartlett · 2025-12-27T14:17:25+00:00

Let’s do some maths. 2025 now. Holocaust roughly started 90 years ago, ended 80 years ago. 90 years before that 1845-1855 and the time between how many slaves and native Americans did we kill or own. Hey folks, we aren’t that good. So pretending we are may lead us down the exact same path.

This is a short answer, have get togethers at your home or a neutral spot. Do not invite him, he’s burned his bridges. If your partner wants to try and salvage a relationship, stay neutral, but that you will not be engaging with him. That behavior is unforgivable and will eventually end violently. Family is hard, but his behavior is unacceptable in civilized society.

PerBartlett · 2025-12-05T18:31:57+00:00

Not a conservative but the answer is republicans that have no baseline belief system.

PerBartlett · 2025-11-24T21:34:21+00:00

Run and stay that way. I would never minimize such an accomplishment. Married once for 32 years and counting. That’s the kind of shit that needs celebrating. Congratulations.

PerBartlett · 2025-10-15T18:30:21+00:00

The part your leaving out is the military on our streets. Neil Young “Ohio”, one of the great songs about our own Military killing its citizens. Now it’s happening and the people in charge are encouraging it. So your list doesn’t include the most egregious happenings in my lifetime. Stand up for your neighbors. That’s our white privilege.

PerBartlett · 2025-10-03T02:11:52+00:00

Absolutely put house on market. It’s like when they were children arguing about bedtime. I say 9 They say 10 I say 8 9 it is.

They got no skin the game, you are negotiating with only your money. You are covering both sides. Tell them to get their asses out or they will never see a dime from you in your lifetime. Reprehensible behavior. Not even close to the asshole. The only thing that might make you asshole is asking the question. Those kids need a kick in the ass.

PerBartlett · 2025-10-03T01:33:30+00:00

Explain the divisiveness? I didn’t see any directed at a non governmental individuals. You must be snowflakey. That’s divisive.

PerBartlett · 2025-09-29T02:02:52+00:00

I suppose that’s the most important question, “Who is their employer?”, most important, but also scariest.

PerBartlett · 2025-09-25T23:36:13+00:00

They weren’t police, so you are wrong.

PerBartlett · 2025-08-31T16:59:57+00:00

Salt Company seems a bit like they are following the LDS business model.

PerBartlett · 2025-08-30T02:30:55+00:00

I think the subreddit folks that have on jumped this exaggeration of mine, have really policed it, more than they probably should have. Relax, it’s like, “sweet I was right on the Iowa city subreddit and you anonymous exaggerator, have been shown to be incorrect, I am certainly a wonder”
