And we wonder why they killed the Romanovs.
Yep. Every single blue state that self-disarmed needs to be AT LEAST getting rid of their independent redistricting commissions in any way they can.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
I’m actually impressed that Newsom is calling out the collaborators in the press for clutching their pearls about his tweets and ignoring the fact that TSF has been doing much worse for a decade. Not that it will make any difference.
Darn, I was hoping both of these clowns might rap off the ends of their rope doing a simul-rappel. (Prolly too much to wish for, I know…)
I knew a Jonelle. Pretty sure her father was John and here mother was Ellen. But this spelling made her sound Frenchy.
He’s also setting the example for regular citizens. The college where I taught for many years is one among those now being sued by four former or current students at, well, no more than four of these colleges. How they came up with this list of 32, I have no idea. Also on the list are my undergraduate alma mater, my son’s, and my daughter’s. The responses I’ve learned about so far from the colleges being sued: We’ll fight this. My impression is that the colleges are likely to win, but what a waste of each institution’s time, energy, and financial resources. Meanwhile, they’re in the news for being “elite,” which scares away many of the qualified first-generation college and/or financially challenged and/or minority students they are all working assiduously to attract. From Forbes (you can find articles about it elsewhere):
A class-action lawsuit filed Friday in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts accuses 32 elite colleges and universities of conspiring to inflate tuition costs through their use of the early decision admissions process.
According to the complaint, filed by four current and former students, the universities “openly participated and are participating in practices that entrench patterns of inequality of access while inflating the price of attendance. Among these is the central practice challenged in this case: a horizontal agreement to reduce or eliminate competition through use of the early decision process.”
The 32 institutions named as defendants are Amherst College, Barnard College, Bowdoin College, Brown University, Bryn Mawr College, Carleton College, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Duke University, Emory University, Haverford College, Johns Hopkins University, Macalester College, Middlebury College, Mount Holyoke College, Northwestern University, Oberlin College, Pomona College, Rice University, Smith College, Swarthmore College, Trinity College, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University, Vassar College, Washington University in St. Louis, Wellesley College, Wesleyan University, and Williams College.
It’s my considered opinion that trump will not ever yield his office. The only way he will leave is when he is cold stiff dead. A third election is a fantasy
That’s just my opinion.
I also think he will do anything possible to throw a midterm election his way. Thats assuming there is a midterm election. He could easily scream about national crime waves, invasion by hoards of brown skinned foreign people holding election workers hostage… riots, bedlam, homeless hoards, murder, rape & pillage on a scale never seen in human history!!!@#$!!! And not to mention run down houses, slums, roaches & spiders and by the way… the glorious news that eggs are cheap
An illustrated tour with Robbie Jones of PRRI of our home sweet shithole where crime is spiralling out of control and we’re maybe but preferably not doomed to sport license plates saying Taxation Without Representation for eternity;
Stop 1. Squalor at the dangerous boundary crossing between Maryland and DC.
The stone marker is one of 36 original markers installed 1791-1792 to demarcate the new diamond-shaped district from the surrounding states of Maryland and Virginia. I hear Trump is reassigning FBI agents for a long-overdue sweep through the neighborhood this weekend.
Stop 2: The crime-ridden Metro public transportation system in DC.
Keep close kids, and don’t make eye contact.
The DC Metro
Stop 3: Bedlam on 16th Street Leading to the White House, Formerly Black Lives Matter plaza
Here’s the view of 16th Street leading to the White House. These blocks were formerly designated “Black Lives Matter Plaza” and dedicated to John Lewis. After taking office this year, Trump ordered the district to spend $610,000 to jackhammer and repave the street. We’re all safer without the yellow paint.
Stop 4: Bloody Protests at The White House
Bring your military surplus body armor and gas masks.
ETC.
I say that’s the one where the flight attendant pushed out the emergency door just before the flight and with a insoucient quip, slid down the emergency slide and ran across the tarmac.
That white guy in the shorts on the subway is a known smash-and-grab man.
trump’s next shakedown?
The other is obviously well fed on pets…
Um, yes they were: This is the second paragraph of Katie Johnson v. DJT Epstein report, you, yourself said she was 15.
18 8. The Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, alleges she was enticed by promises of money and a modeling career to attend a series of underage sex parties held at the New York City residence of Defendant Jeffrey E. Epstein and attended by Defendant Donald J. Trump.21 9. On the first occasion involving the Defendant, Donald J. Trump, the Plaintiff, Katie Johnson, was forced to manually stimulate Defendant Trump with the use of her hand upon Defendant Trump’s erect penis until he reached sexual orgasm.
During a musical interlude while performing this song, Hubbard talked about the song, he’s been doing it a long time. He liked it, but thought that he’d written better songs, but this was the song that earned him the money so he could write other songs.
When young songwriters would come to Hubbard and ask his opinion of a song. He’d have them play it. Then play it again, over and over. Finally, he’s say, “now if you can picture yourself playing this song every night for the next 20 or 30 years, you might have a pretty good song.”
It’s in the cited Politico article:
California Democrats have also promised not to do away with the state’s independent redistricting commission entirely. Instead, they plan to ask voters to approve a constitutional amendment that would put new maps approved by the Legislature in effect for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 election cycles, according to legislative sources familiar with the draft measure. The independent panel would then resume its role as the state’s line-drawer after the 2030 census.
Fingered in the Big Balls incident?
The whole “broken taillight” stop thing can be a ruse or a pretext for harassment. Terry vs Ohio “ established the legal precedent for “stop and frisk” procedures by law enforcement.
Over the past few decades vehicles electrical systems are better designed and far more reliable. Taillights no longer have the filament type bulb that the burn out after a few years, but the LED bulbs and taillight assembly which can last longer for years.
Oh, those going away next month. By Executive Order.
I got a pair of Ray Bans that allows for pictures to be taken with a click of a button and various other internet features. But then I found out I would have to download the Meta app to use those features, which is an absolute dealbreaker for me. So now, I just enjoy using the sunglasses as sunglasses. What a novel idea!
