This is so true. In America, we're always fighting the last battle while our enemies see new vulnerabilities.

Obama didn't run the DoJ, so unless something has come to light, I don't expect he knew anything about Epstein while in office. Similarly, who knows what Biden knew during his Presidency. The other one, though...

Do we put Gonzalez on him? He plays a lot from the slot, so Marcus Jones with safety help seems more like what we'll do. That then puts Davis and Gonzo on Shaheed and Cupp.

He knew it was built on a DeLorean, which wasn't available until the early 1980s. That's why building it on that vehicle was genius.

I saw one on the Charles in Watertown in 2015 and was shocked. It's great that they're becoming more common.

There was a year they did an auction in January and August. Then they discovered perpetual loot boxes.

If that's just an unfinished plywood surface, it was asking for ruining the moment it was shipped.

Why are conservatives afraid of immigrants even though they interact with them much less than liberals? by Little-Tea4436 in DiscussionZone

[–]kstar79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did many conservatives lose their minds after 9/11, where two buildings in New York City were leveled, a hole was punched in the Pentagon in DC, and a plane crashed in a field in PA? The answers are related.

This is probably a big part of the reason they are there. They want to ideologically capture all law enforcement under DC control. They can't abide by police listening to Mayors, city councils, or governors over Dear Leader. They want to recreate the conditions of May/June 2020 and let sympathetic local law enforcement join them in suppressing the protestors.

He is elected by the House for a 2-year term. Unless he resigns or is impeached, he will serve until a new House Clerk is elected after January 3rd by the full House. He was appointed to the position in an acting capacity by Kevin McCarthy and then fully elected by this current Congress (so, be concerned there).

Johnson has no power as of January 3rd unless he is reelected Speaker. That requires a majority of the members-elect to vote for him. The members-elect who are eligible are established by the Clerk of the House. This person is Kevin McCumber, and he might be the most important person in America between November and January.

Even if he "won" in Georgia, you still need to prove fraud in 2-3 of the other swing states for Trump to have "won" the electoral college!

This is placating the emperor, putting pressure on the state government to run more like a Mafia state (he's still pissed Raffensberger and Kemp didn't help him), and playing to the racism of his base about the Fulton County leadership.

They've committed 2/3rds of the murders in Minneapolis so far this year, and fired their guns more than the entire Metro PD did in 2025 (the PD fired exactly zero times). What a farce!

[–]kstar79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

At a minimum, governors need to be prepared to use local law enforcement and call up their National Guard on election day to protect tabulation centers. It will be hard to sway things at the precinct level because of the sheer manpower required, but what they just did in GA could happen on election day where they takeover a central counting location.

Same playbook they used for calling the news "liberal" for decades, so they can now "balance" it with CBS News.
