When you see a guy with gray hair on a bicycle, "Progressive" is the last thing you think of.

It makes me ponder about life choices.

jazz_music says

The danger is real.

We could certainly use some of that revolutionary outrage today.

Yep: California is pretty much doing the same things which got Paul Revere et al up in arms.

Yah but all those revolutionary statesmen were slave owners and cis white guys so they are literally HITLER!

Yet, they don't want free speech. Espescially in schools. They think it's terrific that schools and colleges have this extreme liberal indoctrination bias, and are happy to take action to silence and shame anyone who dares to exercise "freedom of speech". Dissenting opinions are "hate speech". Enlightenment has been replaced with indoctrination. For fucking reals.

You've been listening to Wayne too much.




He makes up new lies every day and posts them on "liberals are ... " I call bullshit on all that.

Not sure who wayne is, but there's been quite a few high profile cases of conservative speakers being barred from speaking at university in recent years. There's lots of people talking about the extreme liberal bias in colleges, and how that creeps into research and more in a self perpetuating cycle. Talking about how conservative opinions aren't welcome, and are often met with hostility. School faculty is not only complicit, but often participates, or gives into the angry libmob's cries for "right to safety" from a guest bad bad speaker.

Remember Bret Weinstein, and that insanity his liberatzi Evergreen college students put him through? btw - he IS a liberal and he has frequently talked in depth about what I wrote above ever since his incident at school. He's intelligent, insightful, articulate, fair, and just plain awesome IMO - recommended listening.

Do you consume any political media variety, such as any conservative sources of news to diversify the lib stuff? Or just CNN/VOX/NYT? You live in a false reality if you only listen to 1 side.

It is high time that the left vocally rejects the right-wing myth that immigration, even on a large scale, is incompatible with safety and prosperity. Wealthy countries can, and indeed must, accept and manage migration en masse, now and in the coming years. The alternative is intolerable.

Disagree, vehemently. Why should Western countries accept immigration en masse? What is the intolerable alternative - perhaps countries where immigration originates get themselves in order so that population does not want to leave? Or introduce birth control and some rights for women to decrease too high birth rate? About safety - mass assaults on women by "immigrants" were not known until recently in Europs. Why would anyone let in potential terrorists at the time when domestic terrorism in Europe (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna etc) is at its historic low?

jazz_music says

German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s all-too-brief willingness to open her country’s doors to refugees in 2015 offered a glimpse of what a reasonable response to mass migration could look like. “We’ll manage it,” the famously pragmatic leader said. And she was right: Germany, a wealthy nation of 82 million, could manage the 800,000 refugees registered in 2015. Yet, like the rest of Europe, German policy swiftly turned away from “welcome culture” toward swift deportations and harsh deterrence efforts; the paranoiac xenophobia of Europe’s far-right won the day.

Let in 800K in 2015, then 1M in 2016, then 1.5M in 2017, and soon it becomes intolerable and economically infeasible. Germany of 2005 was very safe. Germany of 2018, when I was there last time, had panhandlers and crowds of young, aggressive "Germans" congregating in train stations.

Ms. Lennard, sorry to say, is a fucking idiot.

Cough up these reparations, motherfucker!

Saikat Chakrabarti is a socialist Democrat who worships "Che" Guevara, an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, and would like nothing better to turn America into a communist hell hole: https://www.redstate.com/alexparker/2019/07/09/cant-stop-wont-stop-aocs-chief-staff-wears-shirt-supporting-nazi-sympathizer/

One unfortunate problem with the harassment from mainstream media, various SJWs, virtue signalers, and the corrupt deep state is that many people are scared to work for Trump. Thus the pool of potential hires is greatly reduced. Just look at the horrible deal Flynn got: after enough threats from the deep state he was pressured into pleading guilty to lying to the FBI even though the FBI report stated that they didn't think he was lying. Manafort, while definitely scummy, only got taken down because he worked for Trump; Podesta, who did the same kind of things and much worse, roams free because he worked for the Clintons instead.

Not sure what is the accusation here. Is it that she is not black or she is not qualified. She may or may not be a descendant of a slave or a slave owner but how does the disqualify her from being a president or

It's for Dem base to decide how exactly does it disqualify her. :evil_cackle:

Well, pandertarding hooker-fu may not be such a terrible thing in a President, since our nation has decided that flagrant and unembarrassed corruption are the orders of the day.

He also hired AOC for her role.

Well, According to the Left, America is fundamentally flawed for having some Ancestors that practiced Slavery.

Therefore, Kamala Harris is fundamentally flawed for having some Ancestors that practiced Slavery. And cannot be President.

Just when it seems jazz cant go anymore clownworld on us

Vee (a Bosnian Swede) went to Germany and had a great on the ground video about how, just like in the USA, the Rapefugees are dumped on the working people and almost totally absent from the "City Center"/"Financial District" where the Banks and Wealthy live.

Can't find it right now but here's his channel.

Are you trying to apply logic? They don't need no stinkin' LOGIC! They need appeals to the craven, the grasping, and the convenient. Forebrain activities are verboten.

Tim Aurora says

All she is asking is the reparation for slaved descendants as a group. Her father and mother were both immigrants so she is neither paying nor receiving.

You know that ain't gonna fly.

What about a Cajun, who had children with a former slaveowner in 1875? Her offspring gonna get reparations even though Colonel Sanders gave her an apartment and got their kids cushy jobs?

Not too different from situation in US, I gather. I do not think illegals live in Malibu, which is populated by Virtue Signallers from Hollywood...

"What's orange and sleeps 4? A Caltrans truck."

California has declared war on people with money to pay for the illegals and their spawn, the homeless, the parents of H1B visas, and goldbrick government workers.

Three guys and a female I worked with in the 80's left our company to work for various counties/cities in California; they're all rich now and retired.

I was offered a position in San Francisco; the girl who worked for me took the job and I did my own thing self employed. She later said she was bored playing Tetris because her work load was so small. She was not an idle or lazy person so this drove her slightly nuts. She was hit driving while during work duties by some San Francisco idiot and she got slightly hurt and left with a check for her small injury. Today she is living in the Caribbean someplace happy as a clam.

I have a ton of stories of people I know in Santa Cruz illegally how much they abuse the system and how much they cost us all. It boggles my mind how they get away with it.

Gasoline is probaby $1+ more expensive in CA than in FL .

zzyzzx says

Hundreds of California government workers earn more than $500,000 a year — and that’s just the tip of the public-employee compensation iceberg.

Limit ALL public worker pay to US President salary (ca. 420K). Why would the Leader of Free World be paid less than Supervisor of Crap Removal in Orange County...for that matter limit nonprofit pay also to max 420K.

Tim Aurora says

Anything Trumpsters do not like can be blamed on MSM, deep state etc. Let us keep bogey man alive. Let us stick to the argument.

Who have you hired? I don't even care about the media. IF you've hired anyone in your life, I'm sure you knocked it out of the park 100% of the time. They stay with your company forever. Never leave. Never fuck up. Perfection is easy.

This is the expectation the left is portraying. Like they've never fucking had to fire or let someone go... Jesus the retardation is hitting epic levels now that the Russia investigation went to shit.

Acosta is exactly the kind of twisted twit that gets stuffed into a penitentiary

Way too rich and connected for that. Either gets off with nothing, or if he knows too much, will shoot himself in head 10 times

I don't get it. What is the deal with Biden carrying pizza boxes?

No hypocrisy whatsoever...

“This project will have a significant effect on the environment due to these unusual circumstances, including by attracting additional homeless persons, open drug and alcohol use, crime, daily emergency calls, public urination and defecation, and other nuisances,”

Can't say they are wrong there.

But that has nothing to do with the environment.

Of course it does: environment is everyting around us. ;)

Tim Aurora says

BTW, he has declared bankruptcy many times , meaning his businesses have failed miserably earlier.

When all else fails... pull out the red herring!

4 failures out of 40 is fantastic. Of course you set up each project as a separate business; that way investors can pick and choose which projects they like and not be saddled with other projects that they don't like. Maybe you'll claim that somehow Trump tricked investors into financing these projects, but there's been no talk of that and until there is, these examples are nothing more than examples of Trump playing by the rules.

Oh but wait, we know "orange man bad" because he gets sued a lot. Well, guess what... construction business is full of threats and lawsuits. And guess what else... people and corporations with the most money get sued the most no matter what. Next you'll be telling us that Apple is pure evil because: https://www.appleworld.today/blog/2015/8/6/apple-hangs-onto-its-title-as-the-most-sued-company

Still a better love stor(ies) than Twilight.

Trump is a guy who actually tried to trademark the phrase, “YOURE FIRED!”
And we expect him not to use it as President?
Good Lord.

Tim Aurora says

he sold his soul to the devil and hired Russia. Even Hillary would not stoop so low.

Do you really believe this in spite of all the evidence to the contrary?

Since we all know Hillary actually did hire Russia, I'd say this is just a little bit of trolling.

“This project will have a significant effect on the environment due to these unusual circumstances, including by attracting additional homeless persons, open drug and alcohol use, crime, daily emergency calls, public urination and defecation, and other nuisances,”
Isn't that true of all homeless situations, including street defecation?
But, I wonder how affluent SF environmentalists would handle this solution to land shortage:

Opps.

Tim Aurora says

Compare him with other presidents. Trump does not hire best people but hires sycophants. That is a recipe for disaster

So compare him with other presidents that hire based on donations and politics? I actually think it's great that he's firing people. Why hire someone basically based on patronage and think that's a good thing for the country? Not saying Trump has hired people that have done shit for him, but he's at least willing to fire them. Is this a bad thing? This logic doesn't compute.

Tim Aurora says

Yeah, that casino in Guam was a spectacularly bad idea!

The real question is why did Stonetear, Lisa Page, etc. get immunity. What did they trade immunity for?

It's very strange for investigators/prosecutors to give immunity in return for nothing - unless they want to protect friendly allies in an investigation meant to be a bogus whitewash.
