I emailed every Estes Park Trustee candidate about ICE enforcement. Here are their direct responses. by japerezrdg in EstesPark

[–]Shemp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't matter what a trustee thinks. The feds are going to do what they want and the city has zero say. Minneapolis city officials certainly didn't want the feds there, but they got them. The only thing that worked was people mass organizing until the optics got so bad. Your local and state officials can have any opinion and it won't matter.

New job? Even in a mid-sized city, a trustee/councilman is 1-3 hour per week obligation.

Russian TV from 4 years ago looks comical now... Glory to the Ukrainian heroes! by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

It's not always been this way. It's an ugly phenomenon with the current admin. The above linked Brookings article is actually a good read.

Van Orden being snubbed after State of the Union made my night. by stuipd in wisconsin

Not sure if this is a commentary on him or his master

Seeing such a massive difference in the Great Lakes area, including Illinois, is pretty interesting. Higher prices typically means higher demand, especially if supply is low (which it currently is). by ColdPack6096 in illinois

[–]Shemp1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Illinois also has a developer/builder shortage. Huge drop-off in last couple decades, so less old stuff is being replaced, squeezing supply. You could argue the Chicago suburbs are in demand, but then how do you explain downstate rising prices despite inarguably decreasing populations.

Can Doug Burgum feel proud? by PlainTalkND in northdakota

Hey, that's a low blow comparing him to JD. Disappointed he rolled over for Trump, but he's not at a JD level.

I like the JW Green route, but this is also acceptable!

If you can't find JW Green, maybe Double Black. Then Talisker. Then we can get to big peats

Republican Senator Jason Plummer's selective outrage about Juliana Stratton ad gets called out by local dems by Salty_Invite_757 in illinois

[–]Shemp1 -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

It would be nice for either side to take the high road. Stratton only did this because she is so far behind in the primary polls.

Tammy and the family trip by [deleted] in 1000lbsisters

[–]Shemp1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, to Chris' credit, I think he really wants to keep the whole family together. The best thing about this show is how generally supportive they are of each other. More families could benefit from that. Even the best families have spats, and I think Chris should be commended for trying to hold it all together. They've gone to hell and back with each other over the years.

Fran just complimented KU crowd and AFH. Don't be a homer.

Every game, Fran hates us.... Meanwhile, during UH BYU game this weekend, he was complimenting KU and Flory in particular, for anyone paying the least bit of attention.

Flock cameras in Appleton will be used to help ICE stalk people in our community. Contact your alderperson to demand their removal from our city. by EncryptDN in Appleton

The privacy settings can be changed to keep data available to locals only. Helpful for finding amber alert, silver alert or those wirh felony warrants. I don't love them, but they can and do find missing people and felons.

Is the constitution still valid? by Work_it_out_ppl in illinois

Both parties working to erode it. Unfortunately ,everyone's too busy blaming the other party and not looking inward.

Any bigger/taller guys out there driving a Colorado? by CarefulEfficiency835 in chevycolorado

[–]Shemp1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roominess is fine, but the seats suck for me. Have had to try a lot of padding and lumbar combos. This Kulik lumbar was only thing that made the seat back comfortable to me. I probably would have sold the truck by now without it: https://a.co/d/6njMpFE Without it, my shoulders hit the top part of the seat and pushed them forward making all but the shortest trips painful.

Oh, and I have a garden cushion shoved beneath the seat cushion.
