I doubt it. Tim is a more partial to the insider establishment globalist wing of the Democratic Party. He is only an ally to the freak show.

Wordle 1,371 3/6 🟨 🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 won a 50/50 coin flip. I thought it was pretty easy ... and it is if one of your yellows is the first letter. I can see the slide down Mike is talking about if you whiff on it.

Since there was no measles vaccine available in the 70s, when I was a kid, I doubt I'm vaccinated against them. And unlike the chicken pox which I did get, I never got the measles. I also remember that the measles weren't a big deal. I still wouldn't want my kids to deal with them so they're vaccinated against both.

Likely not. The Dems wanted to change national voting laws and were filibustered which prevented them from doing so. Ditto any Republican effort to reform voting. The impetus for this sort of thing has to come from the individual states and I doubt Wisconsin Dems will allow it.

They have some governors in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Kentucky they should trot out. Other than Halfwit, I don't know much about their policies, but they have proven that they can win swing states, which you'd think would be important. Personally, I'm rooting for Kamala or Sam Brinton.

Some ex-employee at the company was an unethical a$$hole according to Trump.... what he did.... whatever.... anyway Trump sued them... there was a $40M settlement. My eyes kept glazing over and I got bored out of my mind as I was trying to decipher the meanings of the werds I was blankly looking at. I'll let someone else try to explain / digest this. Rat's ass.

He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center. 🌮 🏆

Bradley Bartell and Camila Muñoz had a familiar small-town love story, before they collided with immigration politics. They met through mutual friends, had a first date at the local steakhouse, married after two years and were saving to buy a house and have kids. Muñoz was already caring for Bartell's now 12-year-old son as her own. But last month, on their way home to Wisconsin after honeymooning in Puerto Rico, an immigration agent pulled Muñoz aside in the airport. "Are you an American citizen?" asked the agent. She answered no, she wasn't. She's from Peru. But she and her husband had taken the legal steps so that one day she might get U.S. citizenship. STAY In addition to Muñoz, USA TODAY has confirmed through attorneys, family members and documents that ICE has detained for weeks: A woman in her 50s who has lived in the country more than 30 years and is married to a U.S. citizen. STAY A woman in her 30s with proof of valid permanent legal residency, whose father and siblings are U.S. citizens, and who first came to the U.S. as a teen. STAY A European woman in her 30s engaged to a U.S. citizen who overstayed her visa when she was 21. DEPORT A woman engaged to a U.S. legal permanent resident, with whom she has lived for nine years.

Trump defies the courts, Sends migrants to El Sal Prison
Voltaire replied to Ron_Artest's topic in The Geek Club
I said the Tren de Argua gangsters should go to El Salvador and the run-of-the-mill deported Venezuelans should be sent back to Venezula. I don't oppose the flights, ideally they got sorted properly to be put on the right planes. If a non-gangbanger gets sent to El Salvador and it was their first time being deported, of course I would support their right to appeal.... then send them to Venezuela. That El Salvador prison is for the hardcore criminals. -

No. That prison is for Tren de Argua and other gang members. If they successfully appeal, they can be sent back to Venezuela. -
This is beyond my patience and time constraints to digest. I do hope that a field team unaffiliated and independent of this team comes through and either corroborates or disavows these findings. It seems too implausible as my BS detector is flashing and I'm taking it with some suspicion right now. Give me a second team that is skeptical of the first but re-tests and confirms their findings, and I'd be stoked.

God plans ahead. He spent 165 million years playing around with dinosaurs because he figured, rightly, that when he got around to creating humans, they would need oil.

My MiL has other ancient archeological ties. She is from a village in Yuanmao county in Yunnan province, which has some notoriety as being the location of the oldest human remains ever discovered in China and, well not just China, those fossils are actually some of the oldest human remains in the world outside of Africa and are central to any/all theories as to how east Asia was first populated. We're talking 1.7-1.4 million years ago. It was only 11000 years ago people in the region started carving art and pottery.
-
Yeah, its wild to think that people were building Gobekli Tepi and those Yunnan artifacts and they are actually OLDER than the Great Lakes (Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario) which were all still covered by ice glaciers 10,000 years ago.
-
I'm fascinated by Gobekli Tepi, an ice age facility in Turkey that existed 10000-11500 years ago. Tools there have been carbon dated. It seems unlikely to me that a hunter-gatherer civilization could have built it. It was either global climate change with all those glaciers melting (which would corroborate the prevalence of flood stories in ancient myths from many civilizations around the globe) or a nearby culture that killed them off. Anyway,we WERE capable of building Gobekli Tepi during the ice age, then there was a 5000 year pause where humans didn't / couldn't construct anything like it again. The part of China I lived in, along the Sichuan / Yunan border, artifacts dating back to that time have also been found and the same pause of millenia passing without artifacts. Ice Age humans had advanced "stuff," then they died out, and the stuff they made wouldn't be replicated again for 5000 years. Anyway, living in a place where some of the very earliest artifacts of Ice Age stuff exists really has me tuned in to all that.

If only Biden's excesses weren't ten times worse than anything Trump did (see jonmx's post seven up from this one).

I'll help the OP out with an actual example of fascism: https://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/national-rifle-association-of-america-v-vullo/ Here the state of New York pressured banks and insurance to not do business with the National Rifle Administration and even all three stooges on the Supreme Court thought they went too far in a 9-0 ruling.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for examples of fascism. I'll put away my magnifying glass and take out my microscope to redouble my efforts.

When do we get to the gas chambers and funny mustaches and snazzy uniforms?

Whenever I want to learn about growing watermelons, or repairing a heat pump, or holocaust victims, or what the 3rd R is in the LGBTQ+ alphabet lexicon means, I go to the Department of Defense website to find out more. So not having those topics covered there is tragic.

He makes a lot of sense. Hopefully they don't listen to him.

I want to see some confirmation from reliable sources that all these structures exist as this guys says they do. A link to the site he was reading this information from would help.

Wordle 1,369 6/6 🟨🟩 🟨 🟨🟩🟨 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 My third guess was the worst word I ever brainfarted over. I put the two yellows (and the green) right back where I had already eliminated them.

I doubt any of us are reading these files. Personally I'm just waiting a few days and reading summaries in the news, none of which talk about JFK as gay.

Protesters gather outside ICE in Aurora after immigration activist Jeanette Vizguerra reportedly taken into custody 🌮
Voltaire replied to Maximum Overkill's topic in The Geek Club
Has she collecting welfare or any state benefits? Based on the sympathetic writer of the article, we can't tell. If she really is a positive contributor to her community as the writer alleges, she should be near the bottom of the list, among the lowest priority of those who needs to be deported.
