Sounds mostly peaceful. We should leave them all there, like the Summer of Love. That's what a thoughtful poster like Tim would recommend.

Oh I see, you are questioning the Pelosi part. Way to win, squistion lite!

Maybe read the thread first, instead of just jumping in?

My daughter lives a train stop south of the Columbia Med School near Washington Heights; the main campus is a ways south, where Central Park starts. Her roommate goes to the med school (for physical therapy, not a doc) and onsite classes were cancelled today even up there. Unknown about tomorrow. She was on her way home when my wife talked to her and will find out more.

Well, we know #1, 5, 6, and 7 to be true, and their are parts of the others with truths.

Good to know that you recognize the committee was not a fact-finding effort, but rather a banana republic proceeding. We need a trial to figure out what they are hiding? I don't even know what to say to that.

Amazing. Your quoted part was my summary of this from the article: This should be easy enough to confirm with Miller. And the SecDef, along with Secretary of the Army (who we discussed earlier), are the delegated people who can call the NG. One would presume that, were Trump himself to do it, he would go through one of these people like his staff did, unless you believe he has a bat phone directly to the head of the NG. Also, perhaps Trump thought it was his protesters that needed protection. That doesn't mean that if the NG were there, it wouldn't have dissuaded the riot, and had the riot started anyway, they would have been there to squelch it (unless you think they'd have joined in, which would be laughable). The Feds had infiltrated these groups. I'm not getting into to what extent they may have goaded on the riot, but they certainly knew it was more than possible that something would happen. And yet no troops were deployed, and it wasn't because of Trump. It saddens me that so many Americans like yourself don't have all kinds of problems with this, and instead think it is perfectly acceptable for the 1/6 committee to just issue an 11 minute curated video and conclude "orange man bad" without doing their alleged job.

I would say that I bet I'm a much better engineering SW salesperson, but the guys I sold to would have crawled over broken glass to buy whatever she is selling.

He thinks the Hamas supporters are muensters.

He had probably given them a lot of cheddar.

Just did, thanks. Mayo Clinic has a piano in the lobby of each of the two facilities here; occasionally somebody is at it playing, usually some easy listening stuff. I presume the people are volunteers, and I've actually thought about doing that as a motivation to get back into playing (and as a way to give back for all they've done for me). It would be awesome to have her talent and whip out, oh I don't know, that kind of performance for Metallica One, or Nothing Else Matters like at the beginning of the video below. The entire facility would just come to a stop. At the beginning of Nothing Else Matters I was like OK, yeah, I could probably do that. And then it got... more intricate.

Didn't have you pegged for someone who encourages Donald Trump to make decisions against his advisors. Anyway, regarding the troops, this came up recently: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/mar/11/jan-6-committee-kept-lid-on-testimony-donald-trump/ So, Trump did indeed offer troops beforehand, which were deemed unnecessary. And Trump's people were working with the DoD to get deployment once the Capitol was breached, and were frustrated by the slow deployment. And the J6 committee was a farcical kangaroo court which ignored evidence to draw the conclusion they were convened to draw. Still criminally prosecute?

Hmm...

Based on the huge respect you seem to have for "MAGA," I'm not going to sign up for your definition of the phrase. I do plan to vote for Trump over Biden, and I have consistently opposed the political and MSM witch hunts against him. Perhaps because, coincidentally (hah hah), all of the trials are heating up as the election nears, I find myself speaking more about it. Can we stop with your MAGAtisms and get back to Joe Biden trying to destroy Title 9 for women?

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree that you should criminally prosecute the then POTUS and current candidate for POTUS for disregarding the guidance of the Secretary of the Army and instead not following the clear suggestion of an HR manager from upstate New York. And your analogy is absurd. We're not talking about water cooler debates on what should have been done, we're talking criminal prosecution, when nobody has formally talked to McCarthy and Piatt. I can't believe I'm typing these words, but here we are.

Your TDS MAGA whataboutism post "wiped my face" from my relevant pornographic post? Your lack of self-awareness is impressive. Take a break, girlio.

Like I said, the more obscure, the better... I'm in!

NFL -- Arrange schedule around Cards games; watch all of the others. I go through a mild depression when the season ends, even when the Cards are crappy like recent years. MLB -- Watch DBacks, some playoffs. Maybe my favorite to see live, mostly because I live 15 minutes from the stadium and games are closer to 2.5 hours now. And there is just nothing quite like a day at the ballpark. And it is quieter so easy for me to speak and be heard. We got Season Passes, which cost $300 and we can go to any of the 81 home games all season. I've already been to 5, it's great to be retired. My daughter showed me where free parking is, so I won't go broke paying the local AME church $20 every game any more. NBA -- Watch Suns, some playoffs. Live events are fun but super loud; even other teams complain about how loud they pipe in music. Hoping the Suns don't get bounced by the Wolves; they looked like shiot in game 1. PGA -- Majors, otherwise it's on in the background Olympics -- Not sure where to rank it. I absolutely love the sports and will stream obscure competitions all day.

Fun, thanks for posting. That blond chick doing Kansas was a smoke show. Also, very good at piano. I used to do similar, although not nearly as good, where I'd figure out how to play a song on the piano. I never really had formal lessons, but I've done music my whole life, and had some talented friends teach me some piano basics. My left hand is pretty worthless, generally playing just octave bass lines, which is a big limiter. My wife keeps saying I should get back into it -- I can see a piano, keyboard, two guitars, and a trumpet as I type this. Maybe I'll spend less time in this cesspool and more on music.

Speaking of windmills girlio, I responded to Rusty regarding pornographic things being unAmerican, and your TDS made you jump in with a MAGA$#@! whataboutism. Seek help, maybe take a break from this place. Maybe listen to some TED talks from intellectual pseuds so you can feel smartz again.

A Tribe Called Quest? Is that a DEI entry? I couldn't name a single song of theirs, and looking them up, this was in my wheelhouse of music. I'd take 90% of your original "artist that aren't in but should be" over a lot of these. Buffet not in as a performer is a travishamockery

Great non-answer, right-leaning conservative. You reinforce your political ideology with every post. Let me type slower. I don't think a repair shop should have a calendar with nekkid women on display where children could see them. Heck, I don't think they should have them period, because women can repair things too. Do you think young children should tip scantily clad drag queens?

No no no, he's a right-leaning conservative. If not for Trump he would support the only reasonable answer to this question.

What's your thoughts on young kids attending drag shows and tipping the dancers? American or not?

I went back and read it. And then I read Nomad's response to you. This is basically how I feel, you addressed none of my points. There is no "tremendous value" TO THE 5 YR OLD CHILDREN to receive confusing messages about gender so that drag queens can feel normal. The value is to the drag queens, in not only acceptance but, possibly (as per my earlier points) growing their ranks through such confusion. And... I hate to drop another reality bomb on you, but drag queens are extremely abnormal. My daughter has Type 1 diabetes, that is abnormal. She cannot, or cannot easily, become a pilot, join the military, do many other things. Society has decided, rightfully so, that you can't just pretend away her abnormality and put her in situations which are not good for society in general because it hurts her feelings. Similarly, drag queens should not read to impressionable 5 yr olds because it would hurt their feelings to do otherwise. Feel free to extend this analogy to things like: biological men in women's sports. Finally, shame on you for lumping drag queens in with all gays. Comparing the two is extremely disrespectful to non-drag gay people.
