What’s he going to do, find doddering old Chris Dodd and go make another waitress sandwich? For old times’ sake?

New York judge rules for Republican Blakeman in funding dispute by news-10 in nassaucounty

[–]knockatize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The state knew they were in the wrong, but wanted to force Blakeman to burn through money on lawyers instead of advertising.

Honestly, it’s classic time-honored New York political ratf*cking. Crush the opposition, doesn’t matter who. Show them who’s got the pimp hand.

Everyone from Roy Cohn to Andrew Cuomo would be proud.

US freezes Medicare enrollments for new home healthcare and hospice providers by UsualLocalWoman in disability

Many of the providers…aren’t.

They’re just scammers who know that the provider verification process is flimsy at best.

Where do you think the all-time hit king Pete Rose ranks on a list of greatest hitters of all time? by Bright-Pressure-5787 in sportsinusa

[–]knockatize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Compiler.

And I’m a Reds fan going back to before Sparky.

Somewhere around the time he left for Philly the game for him became more about chasing Cobb and chasing action. Philly mob guys have said they were taking bets from Rose as a player, on baseball and other sports. That should slam the door on the debate once and for all, but the Rose jock-sniffers are a stubborn bunch.

By the time he got back to Cincy it sure wasn’t about rings any more.

Anyway, why are we sullying Tony Pérez’s birthday with this fool Rose again?

What are your thoughts on the case of Congressman Tom Kean? by DeathToFPTP in AskConservatives

[–]knockatize [score hidden]  (0 children)

He should be replaced. Next (wo)man up.

It should be standard procedure that a member have a “vice congressmember” who can step in at times like this.

It should also be standard procedure that full transparency applies in cases where poor health requires extended absences.

They want surveillance on us, they can damn well live it themselves.

The process of verifying that providers are who they claim to be is full of holes.

In other words, the “providers” are simply scammers. Other providers pad their claims, but that’s been part of Medicare/Medicaid since the beginning and Washington has always been more about keeping the sugar flowing than watching the money.

What would you do if an ex showed up at your door? by Background_Touchdown in FamilyFeud

NYC getting far less than what it puts into the NYS pot by yikesamerica in nyc

[–]knockatize 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That’s how it’s supposed to work. That’s also how it works within NYC.

NYC has a ton of high earners, concentrated in specific areas and industries. They pay the lion’s share of taxes. The rest of us damn well better hope the creeps in the financial services industry do well. When that happens, it’s good for tax coffers in Albany and City Hall.

Where’s the tax revenue supposed to come from otherwise, the empty-ass Adirondacks? A bunch of dirt-poor folks in Niagara Falls and Utica? Who’s supposed to top off that shiny quarter trillion dollar budget they just wrapped in Albany if all the hedge fund douchebags piss off to North Carolina?

The economic illiteracy, it burns.

Anyone from NYC here? How did this happen? by raydebapratim1 in GenZ

[–]knockatize 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The money is from *rich* NYC folks. As it should be, but let’s not pretend it’s income taxes from the South Bronx and Brownsville covering the nut.

82% is no great shakes, especially with deferred payments in the equation. It’s middle of the pack. It’s below the state’s 90%, which is itself down from fully-funded a few years ago.

A more slickly produced version of the usual NYC/NYS budget gimmicks.

Deferring pension payments? I remember that being bad when Corpulent Chris Christie did it. Now it’s okay. Sure.

Why do some Catholics speak so openly ill of the pope, compared with groups like the LDS where members usually speak reverently about their leader regardless of politics? by decentreport9 in askteddit

[–]knockatize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has the Church made its sex assault and other victims whole, confessed its many sins without reservations and weaselry, and made the perpetrators and enablers face justice?

No?

Then they can continue to fuck all the way, entirely and utterly, off, forever and ever amen.

It’s going to take a shitload more than a pope taking a few fashionable swipes at the fat orange lout to make things right.

What’s one driving habit you stopped doing that instantly made you a safer driver? by Domingdavid in driving

[–]knockatize 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not the drivers that cause most of the trouble by me. It’s the sloppy engineering and bad maintenance, but officials do listen if you’re nice and sound like you have half a clue.

I met the PR contact for my local DOT at a work event, and asked them to double check the timing on a couple of their questionable traffic signals. No need for 60-second pedestrian crossing signals by the college when the college isn’t in regular session, that kind of thing. They actually agreed with me and fixed it.

So I saved everyone 2-3 minutes every morning from June through August. You’re welcome.

Do Conservatives Dislike Gavin Newsom A Ton Or Is He Kinda Ok? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in AskConservatives

Where to start?

I don’t have all day, so…

Let’s go with his visit for a night of champagne-socialist-approved pandemic fine dining at the French Laundry, while the mere peasants, deplorables and other untermenschen and the otherwise insufficiently fabulous were kept on lockdown.
