Now Jusssie is refusing to pay and Chicago is suing him for it.

In the end, maybe Chicago will end up paying Smollett.

CBOEtrader says

Smullet was charged, why does this innaccuarcy keep popping up

If the Left isn’t lying, it can’t possibly win anyone to its side.

The Left isn't an existential threat to society, because their women are godless harridans or scumbag bastard factories from the 'hood.

All we have to do is limit migration to prevent the dying Left's scheme to destroy Western Civilization in a gesture of rage.

He said some are the dregs of society. Possibly referring to cognitively challenged white supremacists, or swamp creatures.

I'll be voting for the first Democrat or Republican candidate that doesn't come out spewing divisive, identitarian invective.

The thing people fear about the "supremacists" and the "woketards" alike is one and the same thing: Americans don't want Identitarian leaders. When Identitarians are all that's on offer, they'll vote "tribally". This is divisive, cynical, and myopic. Identitarianism is anti-American.

It's always been in shambles. hahahaha

They've never dominated an institution, not even a single Diary Queen in bumfuck.

The AltLeft, however, is a clear and present danger.

When America was great the broadcasters were regulated so that talk radio as it is a propaganda vehicle now and Fox News was not allowed to exist.

It also meant that 90% of the rest of the media couldn't be Resist Ants 24-7-365, too.

That means that MSNBC would have to have Laura Ingram to balance Rachel Madcow.

Checked it this morning, wasn’t very beneficial though.

In life losers will always blame white men, stupid victim mentality.

As a white male

Merry Christmas.

Jeez, you would think that at least on this one day you could check your privilege.

jazz_music says

That’s where the divisiveness first became monetized and politically ripe for somebody like Trump to exploit.

Some did not vote for a clown but against a witch. This corrupt system seldom gives us someone to vote for but always someone to vote against. Propaganda divides us so the puppetmasters can control us.

jazz_music says

Anyone listening to those platforms with a straight face believes Trump is the greatest man who ever lived REGARDLESS of all he says or does

The hysterics on both sides are often entertaining.

DOn't worry, be happy.

OR if you want something to be worried or upset about, there are some moronic idiots on the far left that are impossible to defend that you can criticize and vent pointless indignant rage while using totally dishonest exaggerated strawman lies to simultaneously paint yourself as just as much of an idiot.

Join the party, it's fun. It's not like there are any real problems to solve.

A more realistic saying:

"When your last dollar has been spent, you will realize you're not going to eat at all."

Come on Jazzy, we all know if the goods were in the Mueller report it would have been leaked in its entirety by now.
We also know if there is anything redacted that the Democrats can use to keep their petty smears going. They will edit the PDF and remove the redactions like they did last year when they leaked an underacted version of a report.

How do you make batteries, that’s pollution

How do you generate electricity, most of it is pollution too by your own definition since it’s not just made from water falling down spinning turbine.

Money changers don't understand engineering. ICE = 25-30% energy convertion efficiency, the other 70% wasted as heat/carbon emmissions.
EV = 80 -90% energy efficient. Combined with solar PV, or wind, the most economical as well.

But that ICE energy didn’t come out of thin air. To make it you had to burn coal, gas, etc... so it’s same shit, converted twice

How much less?

Put in the real numbers, not hypothetical.

Tim Aurora says

The title clearly said less pollution and not pollution free

I see the chart. It shows it at the exhaust. It doesn’t consider the manufacture of the electricity.

Whole thing assumes elictricity has no cost to make.

Tim Aurora says

Here is a website that calculates it. It is an unknown website so I do not stand by these numbers but take them as reference

What a losing argument.

Power plants operate at a much higher efficiency than internal combustion engines, on cheaper and more diversified fuel sources, including renewable.

Electric motors and batteries also have relatively little energy waste, making the system as a whole more efficient to operate, especially when you consider being able to leverage the superior distribution infrastructure of the electric grid versus the relatively sparse network of fuel stations. Consider that most fuel stations receive their supply by tanker-truck, which introduces yet more inefficiency.
Solar, wind is eveng more efficient.
It takes a lot of energy to extract, refine, transport, distribute the petrol to your gas tank. So many middle men, they don't work for free. Lol.

About fucking time! She wasn’t doing her damned job. Was just letting people on through, more like a train conductor than a draw bridge!

kt1652 says

That's debatable. I think nuclear is fucking awesome, but morons here keep on closing those plants down left and right because everyone is scared of them. You can't get more efficient than that. Everything else is burning fuel/gas to generate electricity. So you simply pushed burning to a central spot, and made it impossible for most people to fuel up their cars. Centralized systems are prone to problems, distributed systems work better. One gas station breaks, half west coast isn't sitting.

Either way, bottom line is this. There is no way right now you can use renewables to generate enough electricity to power everything our society needs, so it's a moot point. It's not there. So EV's are still burning fossil fuels, just they are not burning them where you drive, but at some other place. "Renewable Energy" creation needs to not suck, before it matters.

One more thing Tim.

Be very VERY CAUTIOUS of centralized power generation. Enron fucked us big time in the past with that. When they wanted to raise the price of energy, they'd call their friends to shut off a station or two. Energy supply would drop causing price to skyrocket. Lots of people got really fucked by the costs.

If we centralized generation, we will get the same shit again. Crooked mother fuckers out there exist, and there are many of them.

"Clinging to the nuclear energy option is a reckless denial of reality
Besides its unacceptable lasting effects on public health, even if operating normally (see section 3 below), nuclear energy technology cannot be financed by private capital. The nuclearpower industry holds citizens hostage to protect its profits."

Hey I thought it struck out already!

Still waiting on the MSM to report the violent Antifa Patriot beatdowns that coincided with Mad Maxine Waters telling them to get out and get in their faces.

And btw there's still a thing as the freedom of speech. That was not a threat, that was someone talking shit on the internet. Antifa and their violence are actionable items that can be traced back to Liberals calling for violence.

Omar is a hand ass wiping Idiot that wont see a second term, a big yawn over this whole story.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Sargon and Styx debated Richard Spencer and Right Wing Watch was all like "Sargon and Styx are fascists because they were on a video with Richard Spencer!!!"

Misrepresentation has consequences, which is why nobody outside of the Media takes RWW seriously.

Rightwing isn't the curse word "Commies" and "Socialists" are people are starting to wake up and realize that.

Meh. He said she said.

jazz_music says

Recent Right-Wing Violence: According to New America, a research institute dedicated to tracking instances of political violence in the US, right-wing violence has claimed the lives of 86 individuals since 2001. The periodic counts of right-wing violence have become increasingly dense since 2008. For example, in 2017, after retrieving data from the Global Terrorism Database, researchers from the news site Quartz revealed that ‘almost two-thirds’ of extremist violence in the US was ‘right-leaning’.

Wow, Islam has killed more than that in half the time, despite being 1/75th of the population size.

According to the ADL, here are extremists murders by year (and BTW, some of this is extremist nutballs killing their kids or relatives):
2018: 50
2017: 37
2016: 72
2015: 70

Pat Carlineo self identifies as a U.S. patriot and “that he hates radical Muslims in our government.”

Bet he is just fine and dandy though with the neocon element and radical right members of congress as long as they are white - really white.

Name the white nationalist! Out him! You surely know one since they lurk around every corner, right?

Some guy said something on Twitter that is mean... hold the press this is important.

lol?

TDS is out of control these days on the left.

jazz_music says

This is particularly true when law enforcement never identifies a perpetrator.

Then how do they know it's right wing?

Trust me, when somebody sets a fire in a Brooklyn Synagogue, 90% chance it's Blacks or Muslims (or both), 9% a fake hate crime by an edgelord Jewish kid, not Wilbur Jones from the Tennessee Trailer Park.

An anti-American politician gets a death threat. Proof that right-wing extremism is on the march.

FortWayneIndiana says

Yes, it's a stretch.

Portland is having an explosion of fake hate crimes against LGBTQ123ABC, which the claimants refuse to formally work with the Hard Left Mayor, but open up a Patreon right away.

I'd say the Failure of the Democratic Party to punish Omar for her Prejudice and esepcially her Anti-Americanism is a far bigger factor. I have never heard her praise the United States. From listening to her you'd think the US was founded by Malik Hassan and WW2 was won by Female Somalians.

She said this today:

Isn't it amazing. One whale of an SJW had a heart attack after a panicked aspie drove his car at 15mph through a crowd, and it's like the Night of Long Knives.

This country has been rocked by multiple Left Wing Terror Attacks against Cops from among 12% of the population, and it's like it never happened.

How quickly the media has forgotten the fatalities in Dallas.Bristol, and Philly were armed Black Terrorists attacked Police Officers and White Pedestrians in the name of Black Lives Matter. Oh, and Baton Rogue and the Bronx

Only to focus on Charlottesville, itself triggered by unnecessary violence against America's History.

Despite several armed and fatal attacks on Cops and Whites, the Media never postulated a rising tide of Black Nationalist Terrorism.

There of course is data to back this up ?

Black Muslims - like Muhammad Ali ?

8chan owner releases statement on New Zealand mosque shooting

Minutes before the Christchurch, New Zealand, shooting attack that left 49 people killed and 40 injured, a violent and hateful manifesto appeared on 8chan along with a link to a Facebook livestream that would show the shootings. A YouTube video posted 10 days later shows 8chan owner Jim Watkins refuting that the forum or other social media platforms should be held responsible or censored in the wake of the shooting.

Watkins owns 8chan, 2channel (the Japanese board 2channel that inspired 4chan and 8chan), and NT Technologies, which according to BuzzFeed News “manages several web properties.”

In the video, which was uploaded March 25 and as of the time of writing has 396 views, Watkins rebukes calls for heavier policing of hate speech on 8chan, Facebook, and other social media platforms. He asserts that New Zealand police could not have known about the shooter’s posts in advance “without resorting to Orwellian police tactics.”

“All they had to find him was a solitary post on a bulletin board with a link to a Facebook livestream moments before his terrifying and gruesome act of senseless violence,” Watkins says. “This is not the fault of NT Technology for providing the medium to announce his livestream. This is not the fault of Facebook to allow for allowing his live-action footage to stream as it happened. These are just tools that millions of people use daily.”

Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other social media sites were heavily criticized in the wake of the shooting, with many calling for the platforms to take more firm action against hate speech. Reddit banned two forums containing hateful rhetoric after the attack.

At the same time that Watkins advocated for free speech—the core tenet of 8chan, which is known for hosting gruesome, violent content—he acknowledged that “you are responsible for the consequences of what you say.”

“An announcement of an upcoming murder, giving a time and a place, or maybe even a target, is criminal, is not protected speech,” Watkins says. “Anyone who utters such things should expect to be arrested.”

Watkins said “NT Technology is cooperating fully with enforcement,” then warned “vicious trolls” that “their speech is not protected by law—or me.”
