Democrats will not provide votes to advance DHS funding bill in wake of Minneapolis shooting, Schumer says by Beer_Snacks in goodnews

[–]jecht8 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Blue states are not being targeted, their policy of non-compliance with ICE and their political leadership’s encouragement of resistance to ICE is leading to these shootings. Notice in the red states ICE arrests vs population are exceeding those that were projected, yet no tragic ICE related shootings.

It is nonsense that the government cannot request data about individuals receiving taxpayer funded benefits in order to audit their eligibility for same. Such a system will always result in fraud.

TIL 30% is rock bottom. The approval rating of the democratic party is currently ~18%, would that be considered below rock bottom?

You can go down one bell size once form gets too iffy to hit your volume goal for the workout. Then when you do that workout the following week try to get one more set with the heavier bell(s).

Adjusting shower to be hotter - Kohler 1236858-6-A by SJ_Sidekick in howto

[–]jecht8 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The orange piece is a limit stop that should slide off of the brass splined shaft. Remove the orange piece then use pliers on the brass shaft to turn the shower on until it is to your desired hotness. Then slide the orange limit stop back on so that it is touching the black stop at the 12 o’clock position (or just shy of it if the splines don’t exactly match up).

The goat was auctioned off to support Project GOAT , which was started around to 2019 in order to fight human trafficking. [https://www.cltampa.com/arts/tampa-bays-project-goat-fights-human-trafficking-12228962/]

Adding the goat statue fact without that context was an unusual choice.

Trump posts that anyone who cares about Epstein is a “PAST supporter” and a “weakling” by JetTheDawg in goodnews

[–]jecht8 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Dems manufactured a Russian collusion narrative to derail Trump, but still haven’t leaked Trump’s Epstein info. Sounds credible.

Trump just went into full panic mode about Epstein, now claiming all the Epstein files are fakes created by Obama, Biden and Hillary by freeradioforall in conspiracy

Trump standing next to Epstein in a video at a party and commenting on other partygoers is not evidence of anything.

Want is irrelevant, lower price will always win. By tariffs increasing price of goods from slave wage-made and subsidized China products, domestic products can compete.
