Are the CDC and the Biden admin "absurd extremes" who think men can have babies?

Trump's NY Election Interference Trial - Trump is found guilty on all 34 counts
jerryskids replied to squistion's topic in The Geek Club
I'm shocked. Also, that seems like a person who could shine some light on this pesky "election interference" crime that the prosecution never addressed. -

I don't know... -
Hey Tim, what is the Democrat proposal for this? 3. Federal regulations in order to combat systemic racism by police in this country.

Biden asserts Exec Privilege to prevent release of Hur interview tape
jerryskids replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
I just looked it up and it looks like he and his team did review the report and corrected a few small errors, so I agree that is highly unlikely. I'll keep my money on Biden coming off really poorly. -

jerryskids replied to jerryskids's topic in The Geek Club
My money is on him looking even worse than many people thought. But you bring up a good point about Garland's role in this. Seems to me it's worth corroborating the transcript. Regardless, it is an attempted abuse of Executive Privilege. -
One example is that some colleges require professors applying for positions to provide "DEI Statements" as part of their application. Basically, the professors have to weave a story of how they've helped intersectional people in their careers, or else no job. Thankfully, MIT recently stopped this inane practice. https://www.thefire.org/news/mit-stops-using-dei-statements-faculty-hiring#:~:text=The university will no longer,their foot in the door. I am a member of the MIT Free Speech Alliance that helped make this happen. :humblebrag:

His 7 yr old will grow up in a DEI world where he will face discrimination for being a white male. I don't think he was specifically talking about 2nd grade recess.

I meant the witness disaster part. Lost all credibility? Like more than a convicted perjurer or a porn star? Also, perhaps some in the jury drew a different conclusion. Perhaps sitting there all day every day, some are thinking "man, this judge sure seems one-sided." Who knows? -
He is saying: why should my 7 yr old son be held accountable for the past dominance of white males?

How did you conclude this? -
Should work now, cleared out some stuff.

I would vote no on him. I don't think he could keep the politics/personal stuff out of this thread. Plus I think he's borderline special needs. But maybe that means more money for the rest of us? That being said, I doubt I'd boycott, as I know I've had some recent run-ins with him so I'm not impartial.

US Representatives Engage in Cat Fight
jerryskids replied to Tree of Knowledge's topic in The Geek Club
Yeah. I'm no defender of MTG. It's like she tries to pull off being like Trump, but only Trump can do Trump. Do we have a thread on President Biden declaring executive privilege to prevent a video from becoming public, the entire transcript of which is available to the public? If not I should start one. -
And you are in an engineering/tech firm. Which brings up a big problem with such goals -- the underlying feeder group doesn't support them. There is nothing close to 45% women or POC in engineering, let alone engineering management, to support those goals. So you end up with a diverse C Suite of supporting staff -- HR, legal, finance -- to make the numbers work. Earlier Gutter made a comment about already having 4 white male SCOTUS justices. Guess what? Most lawyers are white males (88% are white, 63% male). A higher percentage of federal judges are white males. https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/news/2020/07/potlp2020.pdf

Good one. I was going to say "the kung foo master in every bad Chinese martial arts movie from the 70s and 80s." But it doesn't roll off the tongue.

You forgot "bleach blonde" in the beginning. She had her rap going. Also, I expected Rep Fake Eyelashes to be pushing 3 bills, based on making fun of MTG for having a fit body, but she's actually only somewhat chubby: https://www.google.com/search?q=representative+crockett+from+texas&sca_esv=75ce3f1a0c12c434&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ADLYWIJg-76MV5Vb-8FKwGIO-TWo3q8cLg%3A1716232592643&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=911&ei=kKFLZojMEtavur8P_MKI8Ao&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZkuvoAllTthsz4R-_fUtb0llhiablHxl&oq=representative+crock&gs_lp=EgNpbWciFHJlcHJlc2VudGF0aXZlIGNyb2NrKgIIADIHEAAYgAQYGDIHEAAYgAQYGDIHEAAYgAQYGDIHEAAYgAQYGEinM1AAWLgbcAB4AJABAJgBkAGgAYkLqgEEMTguMrgBAcgBAPgBAYoCC2d3cy13aXotaW1nmAIUoALnC8ICBBAjGCfCAggQABiABBixA8ICBRAAGIAEwgIOEAAYgAQYsQMYgwEYigXCAgsQABiABBixAxiDAcICBhAAGAgYHpgDAJIHBDE4LjKgB7Rr&sclient=img#imgrc=haICE8w1tn38-M -

That's so funny, I was going to post this -- I started watching Wick 4 for the first time last night (wife came home 1/2 way through; that movie is almost 3 hours long with non-stop violence!). That dood is pretty bad ass.

Why would the current president, in an election year, basically tell young black people (and the world) that he's done nothing to fix this perceived problem? But hey, vote for me, I'll fix it next time!

I'm not sure that we can conflate "done the most for black people" with "give them the most free stuff." If that were the case, then freeing the slaves would have no value in the discussion. I would argue that record low black unemployment, and the First Step Act/sentence reductions, are more important than more free stuff. And no, I don't think Trump did more than Lincoln. I watched the video: he said "since Lincoln -- and perhaps in some ways, including Lincoln -- but since Lincoln"... https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/-an-insult-rev-al-slams-trump-for-saying-he-s-done-more-for-black-people-than-lincoln-211239493982 My guess is that the speech said "since Lincoln," but Trump couldn't help himself, because he is a narcissist, so he riffed the middle part. I imagine his campaign people were doing some after he added that part.

Wow, Billy Zabka became a much better actor when he got older. Ralph Macchio still kinda sucks at acting, tho.
