    Mailing in my Dade ballot today.  LFG

    In a week or so check your ballot status.

    Wife and I filled out our mail in ballots and dropped them off at the SOE.  Feels good.  I've now turned my attention to trying to flip a few Trumpkins I know.  I think one will vote Harris, He's starting to see the light.  The best I can get out of the other one is not to vote.  He's a bigtime BOTHSIDES BRO!

    Senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from, storms out of public event

    A bipartisan forum in a small Latah County community took a turn when Republican Senate incumbent Dan Foreman stormed out of the event, following a racist outburst directed at a Native American candidate.

    On Tuesday, local Democrat and Republican representatives organized a “Meet your candidates” forum in the northern Idaho town of Kendrick. Three contenders from each party vying for District 6 legislative seats - one senate and two house representatives positions - answered questions submitted by audience members.

    When asked if discrimination existed in Idaho, conservative Sen. Dan Foreman said no.

    In a statement released Wednesday, Democratic candidate for House Seat A and member of the Nez Perce tribe Trish Carter-Goodheart said she pushed back on that idea when it was her turn to speak, pointing to her own experience and the history of white supremacy groups in Northern Idaho.

    “[J]ust because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows,” the statement read. “I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.”

     

    White text on black background, with Carter-Goodheart's campaign logo header. The full statement reads:  Last evening, I participated in what should have been a respectful and constructive public candidate forum. Instead, I was met with hateful, racist remarks from State Senator Dan Foreman, who screamed at me to "go back where you came from."  The question on the floor was about a state bill addressing discrimination. One of the candidates responded, claiming that “discrimination doesn’t exist in Idaho.” When it was my turn to speak, I calmly pointed out that just because someone hasn’t personally experienced discrimination, doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Racism and discrimination are real issues here in Idaho, as anyone familiar with our state’s history knows. I highlighted our weak hate crime laws and mentioned the presence of the Aryan Nations in northern Idaho as undeniable evidence of this reality.  That’s when Sen. Foreman lost all control. His words to me: “I’m so sick and tired of this liberal b*llsh*t! Why don’t you go back to where you came from!?”  I stayed. I stayed because I wanted to show our community that I can, and will, handle difficult, unpleasant situations. After the forum, several members of the crowd came up to me and offered their support, apologizing for Sen. Foreman’s behavior. But it’s not the people in the crowd who need to apologize.  I need to thank the women who stood with me against this hate: Moscow City Councilwoman Julia Parker, Kathy Dawes, and Representative Lori McCann. They had my back when it mattered, and I appreciate their strength and solidarity.   What happened tonight was a reminder of why this election matters. I am a proud member of the Nez Perce tribe, fighting to represent the land my family has lived on for generations. People like Dan Foreman do not represent our diverse community, and I will continue to stand against the hatred and racism they spread. Our state deserves better. Our community deserves better. We deserve better."

     

    Statement released by candidate Trish Carter-Goodheart following a contentious forum in Kendrick, Idaho.

    Foreman stood up and angrily interjected, using an expletive to criticize what he cast as the liberal bent of the response, according to the release and people present at the forum.

    Carter-Goodheart said he then told her she should go back to where she came from, and heatedly stormed off. One event organizer and two other panelists confirmed Carter-Goodheart’s account, adding Foreman appeared very agitated.

    Carter-Goodheart is campaigning to be a house representative and is not running against the senator. Her opponent, Republican Rep. Lori McCann was also present at the forum. In an email, she said she read Carter-Goodheart's statement "and found it to be an accurate account of what transpired in Kendrick."

    Foreman has a history of angrily confronting people in public, and shouting profanities.

    He did not respond to requests for comment by the time of publication.

    Indigenous people, including the Nez Perce tribe, have lived in the Columbia River Basin for thousands of years. Foreman was born in Lake Forest, Illinois.

    White women, please. I’m begging you don’t fall for this shit again

     

    I don't know how to tell you this, but JD has the perfect amount of guyliner for self loathing trapped in the closet white dudes.  White women don't want their couch cushions all tussled around.  They just got harvest set out of storage.

    Not new.

    And also.....if you published that plan and told them "this is what China is trying to do," 1) it would be kinda accurate (creating cities out of whole cloth is a thing they've actually tried to do), and 2) they would freak out, bug-eyed, condemning it as commie central planning bullshit and such.

    But Trump proposes it, and it should be added to the Bible as a new gospel.

    The dumbest.  Fucking.  People.

    Tech bros have been wanting and trying to do this for years.  Several planned tech future cities "planned" in Cali.  I'm guessing Trump is excited about a grift on the federal funding, free federal land, and getting his name on a bunch of stuff.

    It always amazes me how organic cities and communities work so much better than PUDs

  5. I love how they're just bringing this guy slowly out of the background.  Waiting to hear his backstory.

    Also can they just kill off the gambler guy now.  I hate how his character alternates from guy with skills and a gambling problem, to just a bumbling idiot.

    I’ve heard good things. Are they ok for working out/running in? Or just standing around in trainers looking dad-like in non matching khakis?

    Well they're running shoes...  I don't think I'd do a HIIT workout in them...  but holy hell they are:

    • cushy and comfortable
    • expensive
    • garish (but then again, I don't have non matching khakis)

    Lot's of Dr types wear them because they are on their feet all day.

    I like the Bondi 7s.  And for concerts, you'll also get a 1" of height or so...  I told you they are cushy

    I wore a pair of Iron Rangers to a concert once. Once!
