I find myself wondering, when I come across President Biden's response to the Surfside tragedy, what Trump would have said and done if it had happened on his watch.

Nothing worth having, is my bet. Would he even have noticed?

Oh, yes, of course. Silly me.

He would.

This is interesting.... a piece about Weisselberg and the chances of him flipping on Doofus. (good)

Double woah!

If that article is accurate, it's describing a deliberate campaign of entryism by that militia group, taking over community facilities and excluding other people. Also, standing for school boards and the like to get their foot in the door.

They might, of course, simply be participating in the democratic process wrt to the school boards. But as we saw with Trump, entryism is certainly the name of the game at the moment: people using democratic or "good faith" mechanisms to get their first foothold in power... and then breaking the democratic mechanism in order to stay there.

One to watch. Sad

Rudy Giuliani's legal defense fund only has 92 online donations so far, totaling less than $8,000. They set a goal of $5 million by late August. And at this rate they won't hit $100,000 by then. t.co/E9l6qnh3Gu

Fucker. I have spent hours in Yellowstone watching wolves. They're beautiful and needed to maintain the balance in the 'prey' population. This encourages healthy vegetation ecosystems and a balance in nature. Those bastards just want to kill them to create more land to overgraze stock.

I love wolves.

lionheart · 06/07/2021 15:52

They are glorious.

Trump just liked vicarious killing; too much of a coward to do it himself, he enjoyed egging on others. His sons were brought up by him to kill endangered species and boast about it.

I don't understand "Despite this data, the homicide rate in Chicago for June is slightly lower — 2 percent — than what it was in 2020, the network notes, though the number of victims is 14 percent higher." How can there be a lower rate when there are more victims?

lionheart · 06/07/2021 21:01

Do they mean more victims of gun violence but fewer homocides overall?

lionheart · 06/07/2021 21:01

Homicides.*

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 06/07/2021 21:50

Must do. It's strangely phrased, though.

Are the kids more likely to flip? Probably.

How were the off books spreadsheets found?

True.
