  1. The media doesn't cover it which means its not a big story to them. They probably don't know anything about it or all the other perfectly understandable, reasonable violence their side engages it.
  2. Its OK when leftoids do it.
  3. Democratic solutions to Democratic problems.
  4. 49% do. It's scary.
  5. We're interesting They like Mozart They're waiting for George R.R. Martin to finish writing his d@mn book
  6. Show me a 3rd team all-county high school boys basketball player, and I'll show you a kid whose a hair/nail makeover and nose-ring away from the WNBA All Star team.

    Iran

    Ooooh! Hitler! Because criticizing Obama and Biden's handling of Iran and expressing a concerned with natural resources, including oil, is what Hitler would do. I would like to point out that eating soup with a spoon is also something Hitler would do. Very suspiciously Hitlerite behavior eating soup that way.
  8. Perdido Key customary use debate intensifies at county commission meeting This is the Florida version of a similar situation. A condo board composed of out-of-state interests bought up prime land on a local beach, made it private, and blocked off the locals who'd been using it as public access for generations. That sale may or may not have ever been legal. Certainly, the real estate company that sold it to them promised them exclusive use of the beach, but whether they ever had the authority to sell to the sand itself, or just the grass up to the sand-line is in dispute. Governor Desantis and the Florida legislature has given local officials the authority to make determinations on if beaches that a history of public access can be sold or reclaimed. So this is entirely an Escambia County Commissioner decision. If they re-open the beach to the public, it'll likely wind up in courts. I don't know how they win, as I said, Florida law puts these decisions in the hand of local officials. Expecting the judiciary to ignore Florida law and the local elected executive branch seems a stretch. This is the nearest beach to my home. Right now, the public only has access to the sh*tty rocky part adjacent to it, not the lovely pristine sand that the condo owners claim. Personally, I've been here 2 1/2 years, not "generations," and so this blocked access has been my experience all along. I really think the momentum is with returning Perdido Key to public access. The condo owners can, and do, dump massive $$$$$ into the county commission races and if they lose, will dump $$$$$$ in the lawsuits that will follow. But they have their work cut out for them. Few of them actually live here and the ones that do are only a tiny fraction of one of the five Commissioners districts. Ultimately, these commissioners are voted into office by the local population.
  9. My goodness, what a focked up state.
  10. The transnational jet set are the even more elite elites. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dinner appointment in Zurich.
  11. We never heard of glyphosates, even the OP can't spell it and didn't provide a context clue, clicking on the link is too much work, so the entire discussion was avoided and we quickly moved on to something we know more about.
  12. If we all do our part, little by little, we can turn all threads into tranny threads.
  13. The B9s are on the way now, I need you to back away from that laptop and eat this Big Mac right now.
  14. On our side, the personal history is one of the major attractions for JD Vance as well. AOC is a bit more complex than you make her out to be. She grew up in an upper middle class home in one of the wealthiest parts of the country and then went to an expensive private college, so the girl from the Bronx persona seems contrived. She looks the part though and the Puerto Rican roots in the Bronx truly is only a generation removed.
  15. I don't mind what Mamdani is doing here. And to clarify, since I do tend to post a lot of (I hope) obviously BS stuff where I pretend to agree the utterly absurd, and further, since I have never had a positive to say about Mamdani since he arrived on the scene, I want to clarify... Yes, in this case, I AM being serious. I do indeed support this. Across the country, in the interest of promoting home-ownership, I think owner-occupied homes should be taxed at a lesser rate than rentals or second homes. I think corporations like Blackstone that buy residential homes with the purpose of turning them into rentals are scum who price out normal people. So, when Mamdani goes after second homes in his city, I say: "go for it". He needs money to feed his socialist machine and I don't fully embrace his methods and his noble goals come with what I consider "easily predictable unexpected consequences," but he has to pay for what he does. I agree that all taxes suck, but they don't suck equally. Taxing these cash cows is fine by mine since he needs to actually pay for all his free sh*t and this is the least objectionable source. I'll have his back on this.
  16. Firewall bypass: ‘It’s shameful’: New York’s elite lash out at Zohran Mamdani’s second-home tax
  17. That's why you have to be vigilant to keep the trannies out.
  18. I kinda expected this would happen when they replaced the swimsuit competition with the deadlift.
  19. The guy at 2:50 has realiy inspired me to get a file protector.
  20. We've seen this before. New York Democrats think people like Jordan Neely belong out prowling the streets while people like Daniel Penny belong in prison.
  21. I guess appearance doesn't matter. Maybe she has elite level fire-fighting skills.
