  1. That's awesome. Most people miss these sightings because they don't deserve them. I've given up on trying to show people sightings right in front of them. The other day, I tried to show a woman two bald eagles as she pedaled by. My wife was with me, so it wasn't like I was hitting on the older lady. She said she knew and just as she passed me, the one eagle nailed the other one sitting in the tree and boom, it's on--aeirial fight right in front of us. Guess she had already seen that too.

    3D Printing

    Read about AI architectural tech programs like Midjourney, which can design architectural and designer renderings from words. The next step is hooking these up to a 3-D printer to create 3-D images/models, and not just flat pieces. Edit: Dammit--I see I'm way behind on the thread. This is already happening.
  3. She's no longer serving her constituents, the office or anything other than herself. If she can't look at her trail of absences and see that her position is a liability, then she needs to be shown it by those in power, that are still serving the interests of the country. Her legacy is about to take a hit.
  4. Certainly have to--Clarence has no credibility. Now, it's up the other Justices to show that they still have credibility. Party of law and order, corrupts law and order.
  5. Ah, one of the banjo states getting their racist behind the curtain politics aired front and center nation wide. Bravo, losers, bravo.
  6. Hit her with a restraining order and call the police every damn time. The fines should ad up real quick, but start making stupid pay for being/acting stupid.
  7. They're all just asking questions. Joe Rogan, Musk, Zuckerberg are concerned guys who are only concerned with defending one side.
  8. These gifts are so far above the dollar threshold of trying to get laid. Think of it this way, Clarence, you're trying to screw Anita Hill. Would you offer her a $105,000.00 donation in her name to the Yale law school? How about a bronze sculpture of her teacher? Too high? You're thinking a can of soda? Then what favor would you expect in return for this kind of a repeated monetary threshold? Because that kind of jack is a lot more than grab em by the pussy harassment. Somebody's looking to fuck here, Clarence, and if it's too much, it must be ownership money. Any idea who, especially since you're not the one giving it?
  9. Auxiliary Deputies--no background checks, training, or timesheets? Just guys with guns with no accountability because Culpepper sheriff dipshit deputized them. Sheriff then gets busted by the FBI. And hey, Dallas in the house. https://www.nbcwashington.com/investigations/fbi-seizes-culpeper-sheriff-campaign-cash/3327144/ Think we found our corruption--not much accountability. Whackadoodles with badges, deputizing more whackadoodles with guns.
  10. Thomas just took and took and thought nothing about it. Did he think to ask if he didn't have the position of Justice or a high government position, would he still know Crow? What gifts did his family give Crow in return? It's enraging that a justice won't call it for what it is, but prefers to act like all this is just regular, normal friendly relations. Dudes a whore and this art is the definition of kitsch.
  11. Just a family friend, like most close acquaintances, right? Is Justice Thomas too stupid to understand how bribes operate? : https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/justice-clarence-thomas-undisclosed-gifts-art-harlan-crow-1234663605/ Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas Secretly Accepted Gifts of Art from Billionaire Harlan Crow BY SHANTI ESCALANTE-DE MATTEI April 10, 2023 11:35am Justice Clarence Thomas and the statue of his eighth-grade teacher.VIA CATHOLIC CEMETERIES OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF NEWARK In a damning investigation by ProPublica, journalists uncovered a string of undisclosed gifts that flowed from Republican mega donor and real estate mogul Harlan Crow to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. For decades, Crow has been treating Thomas to luxury vacations, trips on his private jet and his super yacht, and has hosted him at his invite-only resort in the Appalachian mountains. But, notably, Crow also gave Thomas the gift of art. Crow gave Thomas a portrait of the Justice and his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, painted by Montreal-based illustrator Sharif Tarabay. The artist also painted Crow and Thomas in conversation with other men, with a large statue of a Native American in the background, though it isn’t clear if it was another commissioned gift by Crow. The works are done in a hyper-realistic fashion, with all of the glare and sharp texture of a photograph taken with a phone. Included in Crow’s gifts was a $105,000 donation to the Yale Law School, Thomas’s alma mater, which was listed as “Justice Thomas Portrait Fund,” in tax filings accessed by ProPublica. In a highly personal gesture, Crow commissioned a seven-foot bronze tall statue of Sister Mary Virgilius Reidy, a Catholic nun who was Thomas’s teacher when he was in eight-grade. The statue was unveiled in a Catholic cemetery in the suburbs of New York City. Mounted on a granite base, Sister Mary Virgilius Reidy stands over two young black children, staring deeply into the eyes of the boy. One gift that Thomas did disclose was also of a religious nature, a $19,000 bible that belonged to Frederick Douglass. In a statement by Thomas, he admits to having enjoyed the hospitality of his close friend and claims he followed ethics rules related to disclosure. However, he did not address the gifts of art or the commissioned and donated statue of Sister Mary Virgilius Reidy. Batshit crazy painting below:
  12. Think if I remember correctly, she was also hammered on her failed health care policy. I was on board with her for actually having one and trying to implement a plan for everybody. She didn't have to do any of it--she benefited far more from RW policy than trying to create left wing anything. So she ran on the idea that she would be the first woman president, and I was and would be fine with that. That was the extend of her ego. Hell, for all those against her for standing by her man, three of Bill's Republican Congressmen investigators were having affairs at the time. Thanks, Newt, you cancerous pos. Newt was having an affair on his dying wife, but felt fit to vilify Bill, because of course he would--the moral sanctity of Republicans, the party of law and order demanded it. Goddam useless fecal lumps for anybody but the rich.
  13. He's also really good family friends with Krysten Sinema and Joe Manchin. Uncanny, the friendships Crow builds. Just enjoys relationship building with political figures and the Republican Party, yet everybody wants to wrongfully push an agenda.
  14. If I was being entertained by a museum of Nazi paraphernalia, then I'd start to wonder where the Allied stuff was kept--because that is a testament to the war and not a side. That's a visible mindset. The Holocaust museums are testaments to atrocities of this mindset--they go hand in hand. If people can't see/understand this fucked-up mindset, they're probably also more likely susceptible to it, and its spread.
  15. The only reason to circumvent disclosure requirements for the "gifts" that he received is because he KNEW it looks bad. And, as a judge, particularly a Supreme Court Justice, if you know it looks bad, then it IS bad.
  16. I'm going to look for one at one of the booths at the mall (or anywhere) and make it my mission to red X out the Not on the front and on the back stencil the words Every Accusation is a Confession!
  17. Do you know how many kids cut themselves with the power saw in shop class while horsing around? It’s why a lot of shop teachers are missing multiple digits or have mini hit dog fingers.
  18. I don't know that the fix is in to win or lose--but I'd definitely say the fix is in to make games competitive for the excitement. UConn has dominated in a way that doesn't allow for refs to keep it close. UConn is solid, inside and out. Their bigs are active and attack. SDSU has size in mass, so they're not going to get pushed around like Miami, and they play the passing lanes well and hustle. Miami had one guy really manning the middle and against the Huskies, that wasn't going to cut it. SDSU is going to need to play consistently for a full game and not have any scoring droughts.
  19. He was distracting them so they could flee. However, the wife held up and watched the scene with her daughters which may have cost them all their lives. He pretty much died in vain, since the children all died too, and she looks to maybe getting hitched in the end. Really did remind me of Dances with Wolves--especially the scenery and the journey by a lonesome, ex civil war officer. Thought it was a good movie. Seeing it after all the bodies of Native American school children in Canada is just another addition to the atrocities against humanity that non natives committed.
