John Barron is calling the press for his "friend" again. John and Trump are extremely close.

I had a female coworker who used to show me his videos from Youtube sometimes. I always felt he was pandering to Korean culture, but I could be wrong. Him and his wife fucked up. Never get the Korean netizens angry at you or you will get swarmed like killer bees. If they feel you are disrespecting Korea or it's culture they pull out the long knives. Though younger Koreans are pretty open to foreigners, there are plenty here who judge you extremely harshly for any misstep. I know some other flu outbreaks here in the past were laid at foreigner's feet by a lot of Koreans. Ignoring COVID restrictions, as a foreigner, is just asking for trouble and filming yourself doing it...yikes. Also sounds like they had other issues that Koreans were not happy about that they felt free to bring up after the controversy related to taxation and using the health care system without paying into it.

I stopped giving COVID updates from South Korea as it feels depressing to contrast here to the USA. Things are pretty normal here except anyone indoors in public wears a mask. Otherwise life is fairly normal all things considered. I just stopped trying to explain Trump support and the corona virus. I just tell people who ask WTF is up with America that it is full of morons. They must understand because I rarely get follow up questions, which is good because I don't want to talk about it. My brother found out today he has COVID and he has had an organ transplant so he has increased risk for complications. I have been lucky as that is the first person in my family who tested positive, though a few were quarantined due to exposure in the past.

Decriminalization is the way to go. Most of the cost of drugs comes from their illegality. A person working a low paying job could afford their drug habits, if you legalize it. It would greatly reduce the crime and violence that dug addicts engage in to get cash to pay for their habits or drug dealers do to hold and expand their territories. Plus, the government can tax it. Lived in SF for a year 20 years ago. I loved it, but the biggest problem there was the homeless, which seems to have gotten worse since I left. Some problems for curing homeless issues there (some may be addressed now or there may be new issues): 1) Things are so expensive you can't afford housing with a lower paying job unless you get into rent control housing and the vacancy rate was so low that this is hard to do. So a lot of the working poor are homeless due to a lack of affordable housing in the area. 2) The weather there is awesome IMO and a lot of the homeless from the rest of the Bay area, like Oakland and San Jose, move to SF. I remember one day I was like something is wrong. Then I realized I was sweating from the heat. One day all summer. Makes it hard to keep enough homeless housing when more homeless people are constantly moving there from other parts of the Bay area due to the milder weather, especially in the summer. 3) SF also has some huge ass parks that they can sleep and stay in. I lived by the beach in the Richmond district. There are some huge parks to the north and south of where I lived, the Presidio, Lincoln, and the Golden Gate Parks. The homeless would sleep there at night and go downtown during the day to beg. 4) SF makes it pretty easy to be homeless. Porta-potties on the corners in areas with a lot of homeless. You want these because you learn pretty quickly never to walk in an area out of line of sight from the street as those places are just urinals/shitters for the homeless. Allowing them to sleep on the sidewalks all over. Parks that they lived in without being hassled. They had homeless housing, but it was never enough. SF tries to help, but the numbers are just overwhelming. So services for them are never enough. 5) Like all homeless they are a lot of addiction and mental health issues. It is hard to treat them all and I doubt the have the money to do it. Throw in many would refuse the help. I used to take the bus in from where I lived, since it was the first stop, and I was too cheap to pay $25 a day to park my car downtown. I always shared it with the Golden Gate park homeless going downtown to beg during the day. I felt like I was in this Dave Chappelle skit sometimes:

This is why you have to get a real hobby or something else to do after you retire or when you are unemployed. Volunteer somewhere, take up gardening, fishing, or something else time consuming like serious all day drinking and/or whoring. Otherwise too many people, with nothing to do, sit around and watch FOX news or read Facebook all day and let their brains rot.

What a fucking loser.

Yeah. Dems not likely to get to 50. Biden likely wins and then Mitch is going to keep things locked down in the Senate for at least 2 more years like the last 2 years under Obama. Good news is that in 2022 12 D seats will be up compared to 22 R seats. Maybe some things will get done then.

Atlanta votes starting to get reported I am guessing.

Live look at Vic with his girlfriend's dog:

I have a twitter account I never post on; however, after Biden wins the election and Trump refuses to concede and starts whining about election fraud, I plan to drop this gem from TreatyOak on him:

Fuck 'em. Hope they get hit by a deer jumping out of a corn field on their long walk home.

Mandatory retirement age for all elected federal offices at the same age people can draw social security. If they are younger than that when elected they can finish their term, but cannot run again. We need to shift the age of our politicians younger so more people with decades of life to live are making decisions that will affect us far into the future and not those who will be dead before the chickens come home to roost. House members should get 4 year terms so they do less campaigning and more actual work. I'd also massively expand the house and require them to live in their own districts where they can experience and interact with their constituents on a daily basis. No reason at this time that all voting/meetings/etc. could not be done online except maybe for certain major events. Washington D.C. has become too disconnected from the rest of the country. Limit the national election and primaries to two weeks each. None of this year plus of campaigning for the presidential candidates. Two weeks of ads, debates, getting bombarded on facebook, etc. Make election day a national holiday so people can easily go vote. Both of these are done in South Korea where I live currently and it is nice to have an intense period of politics then it is over. Like Neonmoon said no political appointments to certain departments especially State and the DoJ. These need professionals running them, not partisan hacks. Let the president choose the head from the top current officials within those key departments. No or very limited foreign ownership of any news network and bring back the fairness doctrine. News networks should have very limited or no opinion shows. Honestly I know people are bringing up adding states, but I really think consolidating the less populous states would be more effective financially. Would also eliminate the cost of maintaining a state government for those low population states that are often struggling for revenue. The problem would be getting people to do it. Will never happen, but I think it would be better.

Dude definitely subscribes to Deputy Clyde's philosophy of, "I don't want to get killed from lack of being able to shoot back."

Miles thinks Pooka will return in January. I think he is delusional. We have no OL and QB. Next year they are unlikely to upgraded much, if at all. Pooka has the talent to be a good 3rd down back and returner in the NFL. No reason to waste his talent at KU at this point with the talent we have on offense for next year. He would be better off declaring or transferring to a school that can showcase his talents. I hate this thread.

We used to be over .500 historically before this last decade plus stretch of shitball, which while mediocre as hell, was still much better than we have been since Mangino was let go. For a small state, with the lack of homegrown talent that entails, and having 2 major college football teams on top of that, it was not horrible. We don't compare the last 10 years to Texas or Alabama standards, we compare it to our history and even by that middling standard it has been a curse as it is by far the worst stretch we have ever had by a fair margin.

Not surprising. Trump loves the uneducated and they (whites) love him. About 1/3 of Americans have college degrees.

Do all wives have this gift? My wife dreamed that I went to a coffee shop (she followed me) and met 10 hot women, including one of her hot friends, and they were all talking about all the great sex I was having with them. My wife woke up mad and I got punched in the arm. "What are you doing with your dick?", she asked. What indeed.

"If I was you, I would stick to marrying your cousins." Holy shit.

Low Energy. SAD!

Pence's debate notes:

My best friend went to visit his relatives out in the Kansas sticks, near OK, in middle school and they belonged to one of these churches and drug him to it and forced him up front. He said he just started saying ridiculous things in Spanish and they went nuts thinking the Holy Spirit really had hold of him since they all only spoke English. In the Philippines abortion is illegal, but it is still common because so many medications now can cause abortions if taken by a pregnant woman. It is easier for them to access these meds as a lot of things requiring a prescription in the USA are sold over the counter in the PI. You will see a black market for these meds here if Roe v Wade is ever overturned. The genie is out of the bottle. I'd rather abortions happen under medical supervision than without it.
