@#15

Was fmr Pres Trump also throwing rolls of paper towels at those who have suffered from this catastrophe?

@#9 ... A weather disaster destroys and kills hundreds and lazy axxed Biden goes to beach. And Kamala goes palm up to visit rich Hollywood elites. ...

OK, RCade, this alias looks like an AI bot.

(and not a good one...)

I mean, really.

@#1 ... Sometimes I wonder if Trump is just messing with us. ...

At this point I'd say that fmr Pres Trump is not messing with us.

And that is the frightening part ...

@#7 ... What Biden and Kamala did to the USA by importing murderers and rapists criminals is most important. ...

Why is your current robotic alias' propagation of a lie most important?

@#36 ...I said it's a problem that needs fixed.

Does that not imply I think it's excessive? ...

It also implies that you think it may not be enough.

All you said was that it was a problem. (and, reading through this thread, I do not yet know the specific problem of which you speak)

You did not say what the precise problem was.

So any presumption of the fix of the ambiguous problem you describe is faulty, by definition.

How can you fix a problem when that problem is ill-defined?

What is the problem to be solved?

##3

... and Robotson emerges.

@#69 ... I got you angry, triggered, and offended.

which was not my intention. ...

Or was it?

Based upon the participation of your alias in various threads here, that seems to be an intent.

Not contributing to a discussion, but more trying to trigger replies.

Arguing for the sake of arguing.

And that's why I've have mostly stopped replying to the comments your alias posts.

Yeah, I'll reply here and there when a comment of your alias seems to be egregiously inane (something that seems to be occurring more frequently of late. Why?)

But, for the most part, the comments your alias posts seem to be little more than nasal dribble nowadays.

Such a change from those of a few months ago when it was actually enjoyable to joust with your alias on a topic. Indeed, I once complimented your alias for its discussions.

Oh well, I guess we all move one from our past ...

@#6 ... That's classic abuser/abused behavior ...

I've not looked at it previously through that lens.

But I do have to say, fmr Pres Trump's creepy comments to women that he will protect them, when he seems to have sexual assault cases (and decisions) against him... well thinking you are protecting someone you may actually be abusing?

As I said, I have not thought about it in that context previously.

@#1 ... ETTD ...

Well, yeah, that has been shown time and time again.

But it seems to be not only the daughter of fmr Mayor Giuliani but also a niece of fmr Pres Trump.

@#2 ... And he'll probably still vote for Trump. ...

At this point, from what I have seen of those in the Trump cult, I could not disagree.

That said, I would be curious how these experiences may affect his views.

Is he still hitched to the ~life sucks, then you die~ mantra of the Trump campaign?

@#39 ... You now have to prove its deliberate discrimination and not just poor planning. ...

What, exactly, is the "its" you refer to?

I've read the thread, but the answer to that question is not clear.

So I ask ...

@#12 ... This immediately requires a consideration as to why this did not stop crime "immediately" ...

Yup.

Fmr Pres Trump has already had his chance to stop crime "immediately."

(emphasis upon the "fmr" part of that title)

So, why did he?

@#11 ... Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate. ...

Why?

More from the article...

... In an interview with the Courant, State Republican Chairman Ben Proto said a number of candidates in his party have yet to receive CEP distributions despite applying for grants weeks ago. Proto also accused SEEC of unduly disqualifying or "kicking back" contributions by challenging the validity of donors, which candidates are required to amass in order to qualify for a CEP grant.

"SEEC is interfering with elections," Proto said. "They're putting their thumb on the scale on elections by withholding (CEP grants) and taking their time and kicking back (contributions)."

SEEC representatives refuted Proto's accusations. ...

Proto said CEP delays affect candidates "on both sides of the aisle." However, Proto added, "I will have people tell you it's done more to Republicans than it is to Democrats."

"I don't have statistical proof of that, but I hear more from Republicans that they haven't gotten their money than I hear from Democrats (who) haven't gotten their money," Proto said. ...

So... CT State Republican Chairman Ben Proto is making accusations that he seems to admit he has no substantiation for.

OK. Let's go with that ...

More from the article ...

... According to an analysis of CEP data by the Courant, there are currently 16 races for House and Senate seats where Republicans and Democrats have completed CEP applications but only one competitor has been approved for a grant.

In 13 of the races, the Democrat is the candidate with an SEEC-approved CEP disbursement. In each case, the Democratic candidate was the first to submit a CEP application and in all but one race SEEC approved the Democratic candidates for a grant before their Republican opponents even completed their application.

In total, SEEC has approved grant disbursements for approximately 92% of Democratic applicants and 88% of Republican applicants.

Among the 14 Democrats and 13 Republicans who are still waiting for SEEC to approve their grants, nine and 10 candidates, respectively, submitted their CEP application on or after the full-grant deadline on Aug. 26.

Of the candidates SEEC has approved for a grant, Democrats waited between five and 99 days for approval after completing their application. Republican candidates waited between 6 and 104 days. On average, the wait time was 25 days for Democrats and 23 days for Republicans.

"The application and approval process does take time," Nancy DiNardo, the chair of the Connecticut Democratic Party, said. "Should it go faster? I don't know. I guess it could, but ... it's not unusual for people to be getting (their CEP grant) once they're into the campaign season."

DiNardo said that if Proto has proof of prejudice "he should present it." ...

So, the reality seems to be that the CT Republican Party submitted their forms late, and now expect to receive special treatment because of their tardiness?

Wow. Way to go CT GOP.

@#32 ... GREAT follow-up!

(An art which current journalists don't seem to have) ...

Yeah, many thanks for that. But, as much as I would like to, I cannot take full ownership.

I do have to admit, that I remember hearing something similar on a popular news/commentary channel (can I say Fox News here?). So I paraphrased what was said to get around the -------- that sometimes occur here.

Regardless, it is, imo, as you seem to agree, a great reflective view.

:)

@#1 ... Hollywood forgot that their primary role was entertainment and not politics ...

... A fire broke out at a chemical plant just east of Atlanta on Sunday, prompting officials to ask residents in the area to evacuate. ...

Oh, this ain't good.

As if the good people of Georgia does not have enough problems of late.

I do note that Connecticut is sending help to the Helene-affected areas, utility trucks and crews (who are leaving their families for days, weeks?), and also National Guard folk.

Related?

Not a pretty song. Rather gruesome, imo. But when Mr Rittenhouse is mentioned, this song comes to mind ...

@#6 ... This is far from the first time Hancock has lashed out at Rittenhouse. ...

My first question would be... why has Mr Hancock done so, and not try to lamely explain his actions away.

Probably why Tesla is moving (has moved?) to Texas.

Mr Musk likely wants to continue exploiting workers.

... claiming she was born "mentally impaired" and is "mentally disabled" ...

Then why was she able to kick his ample derriere around the stage during the debate?

Oh, it's not just overtime he seems to avoid paying, by workers in general...

@#5 ... STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.

When trump says "i hate _____" he means "your next target is _____" ...

Well, yeah.

That's been apparent since his comments of Jan6.
