    Lower drug costs. My ass. Levemir will still cost $300 for a one month supply. Democrats fucking failed us type 1 diabetics.

    Prescription drugs done? Are you grading on a curve cause this type 1 diabetic disagrees.

    This has already happened. Manual labor has been immigration-heavy for decades. In ‘94, I was doing a warehouse management system implementation in Secaucus NJ. The warehouse workers were largely spanish and polish speakers. Every sign was in english, spanish and polish. I trained one person how to use the system in english then one person translated to the spanish speaking group and another person translated to the polish speaking group. Nowadays, much warehouse staff comes from temp agencies. I suspect many of these people are undocumented. It’s a way for the warehouse to satisfy the daily resource needs without the liability of confirming their work status as that is passed to the temp agency. Covid opened the gate for corporate work to be remote. It’s not going back. People I’ve worked with began their state migration in 2021.

    The stupid was strong back then too. Freedom fries became a thing in Feb 2003.

    Thanks for sharing. This one speaks to my 90’s pop punk sensibilities. I prefer the live versions of social d’s prison bound more than the studio version. Skip to the 1:20 mark of the live at the roxy version unless you want storytime from Ness.

    The word “former” really concerns me. If these are the rules we’re playing by, congress has a lot of work to do between now and the midterms. My confidence that a republican led house would pass laws that ostensibly would be used to indict former president trump is low (assuming the dems lose the house in 2022). This also assumes McConnell won’t filibuster it.

    Cohen went to jail for paying women hush money leading up to the 2016 election at the direction of trump. The US attorney prosecuted Cohen but not trump. I don’t know if the statute of limitations has expired yet. If not, why not indict trump on this charge? There’s just a reluctance to indict trump. Perhaps it’s the old adage that when you come for the king, you better not miss. Last I checked though, trump is simply a resident of florida. I wish I wasn’t so cynical but this new raid on these attorneys unfortunately doesn’t give me hope.

    I dunno. Doing that puts the president above the law. Let’s say that trump gets elected again in 2024. If laws don’t apply, the worst case scenario is terrifying. Having said that, your callout on the difference between trump as potus vs now is an important distinction.

    the tweet I quoted said: Those raids tell me they’ve flipped all (or at least most of) the smaller fish they needed to, and they pretty clearly show that Trump is a target. You don’t just raid lawyers for no reason. “They” being the attorneys. The tweet says that the raids of the attorneys’ office show that trump is a target. The raids of Cohen’s office were front page news and discussed extensively here as part of the effort to link trump with Russian interference with the election. Sure, Cohen was found guilty. But, Barr did fuck all with Trump’s involvement in it. if the pattern holds true again, the attorneys get indicted but nothing happens with trump. Who gives a shit about the minions.

    It’s been a million years ago but trump’s attorney, Cohen’s office was raided back when the Mueller report was going to save us all. Good to know that Angry Staffer still thinks raiding attorneys’ offices results in an indictment. I’m skeptical.
  16. GenXer
    Oh, I get this. It’s just that the trump crime syndicate can’t claim ignorance (laughable because they still will) about the potential dangers to people and property.

    I think this is an important point wrt to forgiveness of Ayers. There were a significant number of proud boys and oath keepers intent on violence and forcing their way into the capitol. The capitol police had a better shot at containing them IF there wasn’t an army of Ayers bumbling alongside them and getting swept up in the fervor and momentum of the moment. I’m team brisket on this. I’m also cynical that there wasn’t a carrot in his plea deal to give his testimony.

    Ayers showed the world that he doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together with his testimony. He’ll likely never work again. I wonder if the committee purposefully found a sub-80 IQ prop so the other insurrectionists have this as their benchmark for mental aptitude. I wish the committee pressed harder and asked Ayers his specific sources that formed his viewpoint. Ayers mentioned twitter and facebook but I want to know if he follows Q, infowars or other conspiracy sources. Put Alex Jones and his ilk on trial too. As for Ayers contrition, he didn’t satisfy that threshold. Cheney asked if Ayers still thought the election was stolen. Ayers response: “not so much now.” Not so much? How about “hell no.” You watched any of the other hearings, you idiot?

    Given that there was knowledge beforehand of real, real bad things, I wonder what exposure this has on trump and his administration when they didn’t proactively call in the national guard. On a related note, isn’t it time for another bengazi hearing?

    Trump didn’t lose; he just ran out of votes.

    One of my two AC units broke about two weeks ago. The side of the house that has my office was 89. Temps were 100+ for the four days the unit was out before we could install a new unit. It was miserable but would’ve been unbearable without the second unit cooling a smaller section of the house. Installed a new 4 ton - 18 SEER unit to replace the old 3 ton unit. Wanted the 20 SEER unit but it’s on back order until probably next year.

    Went to Barcelona in 2001. A bar in the El Raval barrio wouldn’t let the group of American 20-somethings I was with into the bar. Later, we flew from Madrid back to Barcelona. Policia checked passports in Barcelona when flying from Madrid. In Barcelona, they don’t speak Spanish; they speak Catalon. They are very very provincial. That same trip, the janitorial workers were on strike and covered the entire floor of the airport with confetti. I suppose they really wanted to make a point because they made a mess they had to later clean up. All that said, Barcelona is an amazing city.

    Don’t forget to mention the topless beaches.
