Looks like that quote was from the church not the police.

Scenario: The DNC acts in a way that someone contends is non-neutral, in violation of Democratic Party rules.  The aggrieved someone brings a lawsuit.  The DNC responds: (1) We are not required to be neutral, but (2) we actually were neutral anyway, and the allegation is false.  What result?

In this new lawsuit, the court would not be bo…[Read more]

You write, “Nothing came out of that lawsuit as it was dismissed.  Meaning, all arguments provided by the DNC to ensure that they can ram their nominee is in place.”

The lawsuit was brought in federal court, which is a court of limited jurisdiction.  That means it doesn’t have the authority to hear every case under the sun, but only c…[Read more]

I correct it, but what I was working on simultaneously was part of what I do with an organization that is here to safeguard land use. It was a link to one of the many pdf documents I obtained by right-to-know request. It comes from one of the local landfills that accepts among its refuse radioactive materials, which come in the form of…[Read more]

If they let the people decide, they’d get a better result most of the time.  It’s only the ‘special interests’ (which are rich people and their combines) that screw everything up.

@xyzse  Biden will have little effect on the Senate other than to go against We the People which will be bad for New Democrats in 2022 and 2024 in light of having People’s Party Progressives running against them.  There are a lot of people who will lose their homes and move into poverty this January.

Americans have taken a liking to deferment o…[Read more]

Hi xyzse,

Putting aside the details of Vichy dems and DNC failures, America is looking at another four years of political stagnation. No matter what Biden/Harris propose, Mitch’s Senate will oppose every initiative. And for anything Mitch agrees to it will come with a high cost for the 99%.

As to DNC failures, past behavior suggests…[Read more]

@xyzse I remember Walter Mondale was drawing crowds even larger than Trump’s in the last two weeks before the 1984 election. Reagan got 59% of the vote. Besides, it’s 2020. Only idiots want to be jampacked together in the middle of a pandemic. Trump’s big crowds just show us that there are a lot of idiots who look annoyingly like me out there.

my reply was mostly sarcasm @xyzse

@xyzse

@xyzse I just don’t see any chance of Trump winning this election. He’s lost most of the Rust Belt, which means he’s already lost the election. He’d have to win Florida, hold on to all of the current tossup states, and claw back Wisconsin, Michigan or Wisconsin.

I don’t think he can do it. The political scientist in me says it ain’t happenin’.…[Read more]

If Trump were to be gone soon and Pence was running instead.  You better believe I will vote against Pence and might actually vote Biden.

The Democratic Party will not receive my general-election votes no matter what imaginative scenario anybody can come up with could become reality.

I don’t vote with fear.

Mike Pence does not sc…[Read more]

So, you know, they aren’t going to do anything about any of this.  @xyzse

And as others observe, Trump’s supporter are going see this stuff as just Trump being a true player, ‘more power to him’, etc.

Finally, the NYT doesn’t accuse him of any crime.  So, shrug, what is there to see – he’s got a great accountant, so what.

@xyzse They could, in essence, go on a legislative strike and tell the public why. They even have the power to say “We will do nothing until you approve our pandemic relief package in full.” Oh, that’s right! They already gave half of that away! Silly me!

But they could if they wanted to. The simple fact is they don’t want to because their donors…[Read more]

@xyzse I think Bush was the first one to actually lower the federal estate tax, but I could be wrong. Then, thanks to ALEC, it was lowered or eliminated in most of the states, including Ohio, where its repeal has positively crushed local governments, who depended on it for a large chunk of their revenue.

I think of that every time I hit a pothole.

Not exactly, her one concession that differed from Bernie’s main points was that her plan would have allowed the wealthy to buy additional coverage that would take care of the kind of treatments that they always have gotten, and one way or the other would, imo, always get, from any bill that ever got passed. Imo, Gabbard was merely…[Read more]

On the gay business, since she no longer considers gay people inferior, then she wouldn’t mind if I said that she’s always struck me as gay.  I know she’s married, doesn’t matter, she still seems gay to me, and as a lifelong gay person, what do I k…[Read more]

Hi xyzse,

Here you go.  Many models to choose from.

Hi xyzse,

Agreed completely.  This could easily be a DIY “off-the-shelf” project with the right design.
