    So what is CRT? And what schools other than law schools is it being taught in? You don't get to lie that CRT is being taught in elementary schools and then rely on the actual definition of CRT, which you've been misrepresenting this entire time. There is zero reason why Dems should let the GOP control the narrative in this nonsense way. Yet they just did.
  3. lemonlime
    Bingo. They should have immediately come out with something like the GOP is scared to have their children learn about slavery, Jim Crow, and redlining, and think their children are such snowflakes they can't be exposed to those things. Instead they just ignored it. The Dems need to be way more aggressive in their messaging, and stop letting the GOP get away with this bullshit. Fucking call them on it.

    A lot of angry people, including business owners and those who were out of work during Covid or parents who were home schooling their kids for over a year, voting against an incumbent. Combined with a change in how to vote--after 2 election cycles of mail in voting going back to in person voting, which wasn't communicated well, meaning that the less engaged people weren't turning out. Combined with the national Republican nonsense on CRT causing working up their cult members.

    This. Spent a week in Estes Park this summer, and had a great time. Terrific hiking at RMNP and Estes Park is enough of a town that there are good bars/restaurants, etc. We rented a cabin at the YMCA there. It was nothing fancy, but had a porch with views of the Rockies and a decent kitchen.. Also had a great time a few years ago at Moab, UT, just maybe 10 miles from Arches National Park and IIRC about an hour from Canyonlands. Stayed at an Airbnb just outside of town.

    Only this, from a 2014 interview: "You know what solves it? When the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster," Trump said. "Then you’ll have a [chuckles], you know, you’ll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great." Can't have an economy that actually works for the people, or does well when Biden is president. The GQP needs an angry populace to keep the grift going.

    I did finally get my new passport, about 4 months after sending it in for renewal.
  8. lemonlime
    Yes.

    How would they have executive privilege? Doesn't it attach to the executive--i.e. Biden. I don't think a past executive employee can invoke the privilege if the executive branch is waiving the privilege (to the extent executive privilege could even possibly apply to a plan to overthrow the government).

    It's long past time we do this here.
  11. lemonlime
    Yeah. It’s making me really antsy. Especially because my passport was actually valid for a while, but they mailed my old valid one back with holes punched in it. I only renewed this early because of a vacation in December that to get a visa my passport has to be valid 8 months after entry—it would have been valid 7 months. Ugh.
  12. lemonlime
    By mail. The passport office near me only accepts new applications and kids’ passports and I was told that I had to apply by mail.
  13. lemonlime
    I paid for expedited. And sent the application in late June.

    Not sure WTF is up with this. I know they're behind, but it's been months. About 2 weeks ago I finally got back my passport that's set to expire, with holes punched in it, and a note saying that the renewed passport will arrive in a separate mailing. Meanwhile, the State Department website says that my passport is being printed and should arrive by September 1. I have a trip planned for December. Anyone have recent experience with passport renewal, and how long should it take right now?

    Anyone else having trouble getting the site to load? I could only get in via tapa. It wouldn’t load on my computer in either chrome or safari.
  16. lemonlime
    I will be there. And thank you for taking the time to express what I was too aggravated to do and Penelope got the links.

    To be clear, I think you're trolling and I wasn't really answering your question, as pointing out the absurdity of your question, as though the federal government could ever successfully force 100% vaccination, which is apparently your idiotic metric of success. FFS, just stay the fuck home and away from me and my loved ones if you're too fucking selfish to be vaccinated.
  18. lemonlime
    I don't know what you mean. How do you think the federal government is going to give a "proper federal mandate" that everyone be vaccinated against Covid? Calling up the Guard and sending them to everyone's house and forcibly giving them shots at gunpoint? Nothing is 100%. But if you want to be a part of society, society needs to require that people act like it and do the bare minimum to protect each other, which includes a jab with a needle. If people still choose not to get vaccinated they can stay the fuck home and not interact with others. Like a time out for a two year old until the toddler behaves.
  19. lemonlime
    There's no way to vaccinate everyone. But we can make the choice to be unvaccinated as painful as possible for those who choose it in order to protect the rest of us. No restaurants, no air travel, no theaters, no public transportation, no taking your own car to the shop to be fixed, no working in any public facing job, no working in any non-public facing job if you have any coworkers (i.e. you can only work at home by yourself), no entering stores.

    In the NYC area it was the inland areas that were worst hit by Ida. Not from the tropical storm winds. But 8-10 inches of rain fell in a couple of hours. You're not going to be safe from climate change just by moving inland.

    nevermind.

    Monday is the deadline for healthcare workers. I saw a protest of Healthcare workers saying medical and religious freedom on 1st Ave. Fuck all of them. I am done. You don't want to get vaccinated, get another fucking job. You exercising your freedom is hurting others. At this point I just feel bad for the other healthcare workers who have been vaccinated, and now may have to deal with short staffing due to healthcare worker selfish antivaxxers on top of the antivaxxers in the ICU.

    Without information on how widely available the vaccines are in those countries and when vaccines became widely available the data doesn’t mean much
  25. lemonlime
    He can't. Because it proves him wrong. NYC publishes its vaccination rates, including by race. And the "data" lmao posted is a lie.
