This is exactly why Trump won. You liberals preaching fake data as opposed to those of us who arent in your----------- of progressivism.

I hit nw by accident. But it's kinda newsworthy. But ends in a funny.

It just proves that Trump actually won because we live in information bubbles.

And this was the funny part:

But you keep doing this, you will never get into power again.

The pendulum swings like the pendulum do..

The world will look very different two years from now. And Trumpy has made a lot of promises and threats. And I will just bet they don't all work out like you maggats think they will. So you thinking Dems will never be in power again is so naive and very funny.

"It's a free country."

Sorta. Are you really "free" when your freedom depends on how much money you have?

"You can hate anyone you want."

Can you? Again that depends. Are you hating publicly or privately? Can the police hate on blacks publicly? Can politicians or government officials hate on Jews publicly?

Do you really think it's ok to allow your hate to affect the civil rights of others and use your hate to influence public policy that discriminates against and negatively affects the civil rights of other Americans?

"You voted for Clinton twice."

Bill Clinton is not a convicted felon.

Trump is. Gratz on lowering the bar to the lowest it's ever been in what is acceptable in American politics.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing.

If you ain't winning you are losing!

Shake and Bake!

"Again, congratulations on getting to call the man a Felon."

No the honor is all yours. We did not convict him. A jury of his peers did that.

And we did not vote for him. This is what you wanted.

Gratz on electing the first convicted felon for president.

So now we all know he is a criminal. And you elected him. Gratz on helping him escape accountability for all his other crimes, too.

They did it in 1906. Two boats, 100,000 gl/min isn't "pissing in a bonfire"

Got busy. Missed this particular agitprop/nonsense.

"They" did what?

The 1906 earthquake created a massive fire that burned for three days, destroying over 500 city blocks.

Whatever "they" did could not stop the fires for 3-4 days. And the rain is what stopped those fires. Not fireboats.

The 1906 San Francisco fires were stopped by rain after burning for four days. The fires were a result of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which broke water mains and left the city without water.

Have you ever seen a fire boat?

Have you ever tried to convince anybody to buy one that may or may not ever be used?

First of all, I'm not pointing the finger at Democrats for anything. I'm not blaming liberalism or progressiveism for any of this.

Interesting. Dems have a supermajority but it's not their fault? Even a little? I wouldn't say that. They should share the blame. But they still need republicans support for big ticket fiscal items requiring tax increases. To even pass propositions you will need republican support.

Dems have a major part to play too. But without republican cooperation Dems still can't pass some things unless they all stick together. Being a real "big tent" party with lots of competing interests that is actually rare.

For example: The annual budget package generally may be passed by a simple majority vote of each house of the Legislature, as determined by Proposition 25 of 2010. In contrast, any tax increase required for additional spending increases requires a two-thirds vote of each house under the provisions of Prop. 26 of 2010. Prop. 26 expanded the definition of a tax increase and thus the scope of the two-thirds vote requirement, which was originally imposed by Prop. 13 of 1978.

Apparently the brilliant folks in California aren't listening to them either

#282 | POSTED BY EBERLY

The brilliant folks ARE listening.

Unfortunately they are not the ones making the fiscal decisions.

It's the politicians and mostly the ones of a certain reddish ideology that refuse to listen or help us get ready.

So I guess we just to learn the hard way. As usual.

I'd say anything over 50 mph is windy.

#286 | POSTED BY VISITOR_

So. Up to 50 is just breezy then?

Is this where you maggats amaze us with your knowledge of meteorology terms?

Wind speed descriptions
Breezy: Sustained winds of 15"25 mph
Windy: Sustained winds of 20"30 mph
Very windy: Sustained winds of 26"39 mph
High winds: Sustained winds of 40"57 mph
Extreme winds: Sustained winds of over 58 mph
Hurricane-force winds: Sustained winds of 74 mph or greater

Re 285

100 mph winds. Hurricane force winds in winter. Yeah. Everyone should have known better!

Eberly..Republican cooperation is required to do anything about spending funds to prepare for the predicted extreme climate change weather events.

How's that working out for us?

"So calling people unintelligent ... "

Struck a nerve did I?

I am calling you stupid for being a Captain Obvious. AFTER the disaster that climate scientists have been warning you about and that you denied ridiculed and poo pooed.

"See it's possible to engineer solutions."

Yes. Of course it's "possible". But it's not feasible economically.

"We do this for building airplanes."

Right. And that's why airplanes never ever crash or are shot down (accidentally or on purpose).

Because all possible disaster scenarios are accounted and engineered for!

How much of that will go back to the consumers who were cheated?

I don't see that spelled out in the article so I am guessing zero zip none nada.

Once again. When Trump accused Dems of doing something nefarious it's a sure bet that they have already been doing it.

Elon Musk's Boring Company ...

What a great name for a Elon Musk company. So creative!

Has that special Stable Genius ring to it don't ya think?

No worries.

They will find a way around it.

Congress also passed the "No Surprises Act".

Yet I am still getting "surprise bills" from out of network providers.

How do they manage that? They trick us into signing a "waiver" that we "might get treated" by an out of network provider or we just don't get the medical treatment we need at the time until we do.

Been there done that. Didn't even get a t-shirt.

Agitprop werks!

"How can you not have water in fire hydrants?"

The cause is simple. Could happen to anyone anywhere. And often has in a disaster of this magnitude.

Water pressure decreases due to heavy water use. Obviously. Combine that with power outages at the pump stations and you have no water pressure.

"The pipes are only designed to flow so much water," he said. Not only that, Davis says if the power goes out, that impacts the water pumps. "If you lose power to a pump station, that could take away half of what is available. You add fire engines, even homeowners using their hoses from their landscaping lines."

But looking at the actual causes is hard werk!

Easier just to blame them ebil democrats.

But shake Donald's hand and engage in small talk with him? Why?

I once shook Bill Clinton's hand. I had mixed feelings at the time when they asked for volunteers to greet him on the tarmac. But when it happened I decided it was a historic opportunity for me and that while I didn't agree with everything Clinton stood for it turns out I wanted to shake his hand anyway. He was basically a good man. And after all he was The President. It took me all day to craft a short sentence to say to him. But when it happened all I could think of was "Thank You Mr President!" Power does that to you.

After witnessing the effects of maga and Trumpy ... and being older and wiser ... (and not so in awe of power any more) ... and given the same opportunity with Trump I just would spit on the ground and turn and walk away.

"Guess he doesn't know that New Mexico is a state."

No worries! Trumpy can fix that too.

Being the creative real stable genius he is he will change that to New America.

Isn't that a better name? So beautiful. So original! But. We love America. Everything should be called America. Or Taco Bell. Or Costco. Or Carl's Jr.

Carl's Jr.

Frack you! I'm eating.

Re 4

Yeah sure it happened. But what about ______ (fill in the blanks).

Speaking out at school board meetings isn't terrorism.

#122 | POSTED BY BELLRINGER

Making threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers and staff is a crime and is not just "speaking out".

Criminal Threats is the crime of threatening to commit a violent act against another person with the intent to terrorize them. It can also include threatening to kill someone or damage their property.
