  1. That woman needs to be in jail right next to the ones who were threatening the SCOTUS judges.....and shot that one guy at the softball game and what not. We really need to wring politics out of our daily lives, stop pretending there is some great evil to oppose.....sheeesh

    Trump INDICTED

    In Congress there has been, the DOJ has been dragged into pretending to do something..... I have low expectations given the lack of interest. I only wish there was equal treatment. And these two clowns should only be the start, so many more need to be actually investigated, not pretend, but real.

    Trump INDICTED

    If it arises that they find Trump guilty then.....he is found guilty....and so what.....what do I care if someone in power is taken down? I care not at all....I am not some sychopant to Trump or a political party, unlike so many others.... So many who apparently care so very deeply......so DEEPLY.....when it comes to Trump.......and yet make allowances for others. If only a fraction of this.....this DEEP and abiding concern for fairness,.....and-and, well....the rule of law....were applied to say, Biden....just imagine. But alas, I only get what I want if the letter next to the politician suits people......

    Trump INDICTED

    Agree. I am confident I would find him to be entirely distasteful as a person. But when it comes to leaders, effectiveness is what matters, not likeability. And in terms of effectiveness, I am rather pleased. If accountability were being evently applied, I might be more supportive....but it is not....and the timing of things, the over pursuit....I mean, if they could at least be less obvious.... or....if they could be as interested in Biden as they are in Trump, I would like that as well... Wouldnt it be great if those in our legal system were as intersted in ANY other politician.....as they are in Trump....

    Trump INDICTED

    I understand the tactical and strategic approach to malign him ahead of an election. But I am disinclined to allow myself to be so easily manipulated. It would seem that the only person we apparently care about when it comes to election discourse is Trump. And franky, I really dont care that many others of done the same thing. They have every right to challenge the outcome of elections. I am just not going to pretend its only Trump, or he is somehow worse or any of that nonsense...... When you overdo something, it can be counter productive.

    Trump INDICTED

    It is remarkable the baseless contempt so many hold for Trump, and in contrast the cognitive dissonance when it comes to Biden. Its no wonder the powerful get away with so much.

    Don’t defund police, pay them more!

    Maybe the social workers can help with the fires too

    Don’t defund police, pay them more!

    Absolutely. But leqadership changes, and we cannot predict when liberal policies will run down an area. We know it will, but depending on the level of stuipidty of the policies it might happen faster than expected.

    Don’t defund police, pay them more!

    I read about this one. It seems as though the locality is perhaps not well-funded in general. The chief warned the council that he was sturggling to find and keep officers, and the council did take some actions, but clearly it was not enough. I applaud anyone who would bother to become a police officer today. To some degree I see it as foolhardy. The vilification of police is misplaced and helps no one.

    Smoking meat

    I usually peel the membrane and then dose it well with rub, let it sit like that for maybe 15-20 minutes. I have tried it for 2 hours at like 225, and also at 2.5 to 3 at like 185; just to get a feel for it. Maybe 2-3 times during that cook I spritz it with an apple vinegar. Then pull it off into the foil wrap putting the meat down on a mix ( I vary this, but usually brown sugar, honey, butter, and maybe some spicey or smokey sauce of some kind) then back on for 1 /12 to two hours, pull it and let it cool for 15 mins or so... Really the game is to try variations of rub and pellets, but also go getr some varied sauces.....and put in 3 racks with the variety, and let people try them all.

    [** Official President Joe Biden Thread **]

    He is ducking the press pretty well at the moment, I wonder what it is they are hoping to protect him from? I wonder if there is something simmering that they hold to silence but perhaps are not sure they can.
  13. Sorta sad that it is coming to this. Who knows what is true....

    Smoking meat

    I have the Traegor. Have mostly focused on the baby back ribs, tried spare ribs and was generally unimpressed (unless you are planning to use it for like "pulled" sandwhiches. Have done various cuts. Also did some chicken, its a little more tricky. Planning to invest in some rubs and variety in pellets in the fall.
  15. The approach is typical misplaced and faux "empathy". Liberals think that pretending they care by not holding people accountable is a virtue. Whereas actual virtue would be not simply allowing, but instead fostering punitive actions for bad behaviors and rewards for good.
  16. Yeah, those college graduates never get enough help.....I am sure the folks living on the street or in urban hell holes are so happy for these spoiled children..... But hey, if you are intent to buy votes, I cannot fault them for doing this. Its good strategy. Its not a dramatic amount, and it should not be too harmful to economic factors, but this likely ensures at least two more hikes from the fed.

    Racism? Hate crime?

    Maybe because you haven'y been listening....this has been a topic for years now with an energetic push to eliminat things such as "qualified immunity", which is also bullsh!t btw

    Racism? Hate crime?

    Nope, and not even when any of those groups exact a crime against white folks either. A crime is a crime. Adding the notion of "hate" to it is just pandering to voters. Want to make a difference? Atop giving people a free pass on crime, regardless of the non-relevant factor of the hue of their skin....because that is also racist.
  20. I think that is integral to the strategy. I think this started under the premise of maligning Trump to the fullest extend possible. BUT, every time they drummed up some sh!t to throw at him his polls rose, so they shifted gears. They decided to throw as much as possible at him so as to 1) impede his ability to be a candidate and then 2) to perhaps get something to stick, something that hopefully would eliminate him as a candidate. That is where we find ourselves now, with a mix of just get him, no matter what it is......and maybe something can be used to somehow prevent him from being a candidate. Whether this works remains to be seen.

    Racism? Hate crime?

    And so what? A crime is a crime. Pretending the reasons matter is useless. I do not care. You do the crime you do the time.
  22. But this is preferrable to ensure we avoid being mean to criminals.....
  23. RLLD

    Racism? Hate crime?

    The elevation of that action based on that factor is also racist. You see it is also true that fistorically disenfranchised groups target others because of race. Its just a crime, period. This insistence to pretend racism is ok is just stupid.
  24. Criminals have little reason to have restraint. They know that the police have been mostly defanged. Even if they are arrested, they are out same or next day. When your local government policies permit crime, this is what you get. And moreover, this was predicted, because any sane person understood this would happen.
