I'm pretty disappointed. I was looking forward to Newsome emerging as a dark horse candidate to save the day from both Trump and Biden. Hopefully he will recover from this scandal and find his way to the White House through whatever convoluted mechanism the powerful have created. Having said that (which also means "BUT"):

"3 Words: Republican Supreme Court"
"I love how republicans act so scandalized by newsom's corruption when it's weaksauce compared to theirs"
"One of the problems for you is that once your entire party becomes the cult of a corrupt criminal con man, you lose the ability to complain about any of those qualities."
"This is how big business operates in America. Not much different than China or any other third world country at this point."
"Scroll up trumper. Newsom is corrupt. And any republican who claims to be offended by that is full of ---- because they worship the king of corruption."
"I can admit newsom is corrupt for this little bit of corruption."
"I like Gavin but I have been concerned about many things he has said or done. This is concerning to me too. Having said that none of it even comes close to Trumpy and the Gang's blatant criminal behavior."
"Stupid cult members can't admit trump is corrupt when the evidence has buried his fat ass."
"Meanwhile, Panera workers in California will make $16/hr. More than double the $7.25 Federal minimum wage in Red states that don't even have a State minimum wage."
"Republican pretending to oppose corruption. Hilarious."

I'm still learning here, but would any of the above be considered a "whataboutism"? Asking for a friend

Is it more common in endangered species?

"No way anybody can have a nuanced position where both sides are acting in bad faith. Maybe I could, but I'm too busy frog marching up and down my house."
Nobody is allowed to have a nuanced position here. Too complicated. You must pick one side and entirely demonize the other. It is the Drudge Report Way.

Hamas killed 1,200, IDF has killed 30,000. The only reason the numbers aren't the other way around is because the Iron Dome stops thousands of missiles from hitting their marks every year. There is no question that if Hamas had the weaponry needed to do so, they would have killed far more than 30000 Israelis on October 7th. There is no moral high ground.

#7 I didn't "propose" anything or attempt to "dissuade" from anything. I merely stated a fact, that you apparently challenge without basis. Google it yourself.

This was and still is a "problem" for multiracial people. And what about Asians, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans? Which box are they supposed to check?

The leading cause of pedestrian fatalities is drunk pedestrians.

#11 Maybe someday you'll muster up the courage to move out of your mother's basement and livea life of your own, then you too will have experiences to share, instead of just bitterly lashing out at others.

#10 Nope. It wasn't my dollar bill either, I paid with a credit card. No big deal to me though. I have a lot of respect for fast food workers, particularly during COVID times as this was. It takes a certain amount of character to show up to flip burgers for minimum wage instead of staying home collecting unemployment.

He should have informed the President, but the details of his medical condition are none of anyone's business.

I stopped at a new Wendy's drive through for a drink and was surprised to find I was their very first customer. Ever They made a big deal, the manager came out and had pictures taken. Then they asked for my order and went all the way, Fries and a Frosty, figuring it was going to be free, maybe even for the whole year! Then they said, that'll be $11.65. They gave me the frosty for free. I haven't been back, but I've been told my picture is framed with a dollar bill attached.

A little survey, when a particular date comes to mind, say May 21st, do you visualize a calendar.? If so, in what form? Some people think of calendar flipping through pages like in old movies, others a planner book or a desk blotter. For me, the pages of a calendar laid out like a monopoly board with seasons on each side. Others have no visualization at all.

Asking because it relates to a condition called synesthesia.

"Feels more like a traditional southern black song than country too."

I'm not a country fan, but I spent part of my youth in the "Blackbelt" of rural Alabama, and have cousins who grew up mixing rap with country. There is nothing new about that sound. Beyonc's new songs go right down that line and will do very well with that crowd, and a lot of young rural kids who are more diverse with each generation.

I've worked on campaigns and had access to voter data.NOBODY votes more reliably than old white people.

"The rapist looks like the type of scum whose parents could bribe a judge."
Because he is white and wearing lipstick?

"Data from cellphone towers can be precise AND unreliable as evidence at the same time"

If there's a dropbox at the stadium, and 50,000 attend, does geolocation prove 50,000 dropped off votes?

Asking for a Dinesh.

Exactly my point. The data is mathematically precise and can be used to map accurate boundaries in which the cellphones were geolocated, but the data's evidentiary value is zero concerning dropped off ballots.

Conversely, if there is a Dropbox at a stadium which collects 50,000 votes during a period with no events where only 100 cellphones were identified within the geolocated boundary, that could be circumstantial evidence of ballot harvesting.

The article is paywalled, found this on another site:

In summary, Trump's immigration policies for 2025 include:

Implementing the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.

Detaining migrants on military bases.

Flying migrants out of the country on military planes.

Building mass deportation camps to address detention space shortages.

Withholding passports, Social Security numbers, and other government benefits from children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States.

Deploying National Guard troops and state police to assist in immigration enforcement.

Using executive orders to challenge the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship.

Employing aggressive immigration enforcement tactics such as large-scale raids and street-level roundups.

Mobilizing the Department of Defense under the Insurrection Act to enforce immigration policies.

How the hell did they get location data without a warrant?.

Interesting link, Data from cellphone towers can be precise AND unreliable as evidence at the same time It is all about how that data is interpreted. (Sorta like statistics)

The Lieutenant clearly has no clue how to conduct an investigation or talk to the media. While I'm not yet convinced there is a coverup, I can't blame the family for suspecting one. This Lieutenant should be immediately replaced by someone with someone with actual investigative skills, preferably from outside this podunk town.

Of course he's already morally bankrupt

Hell Yeah!
