Joe Jackson

Liberal here.

I don't remember thinking any of that shit

the only Pre-Nazi Musk pitch I was ever interested in was that we should replace gas cars with electric cars, and that market forces are a much surer bet to get it done than the government.

That pitch was and still is correct.

Wicker wants to play semantics.

Meanwhile 150 kids are dead.

You’ve already put WAAAAAY more thought into this poll than the people designing it did.

I mean, “sanctuary cities?” Really?

Friggin amateur hour 🤣

That the MAGA term “sanctuary cities” was used in a question tells me all I need to know about this “poll.”

“A mountain of research proves that immigrants do not increase crime rates,” says Cato’s David Bier, testifying before a Senate Budget Committee hearing on sanctuary cities.

I inadvertently sprang to the side so now I'm in a different multiverse with 30-year-old Shatner here floating around in a Gillette electric shaver

I wouldn't even care about this if it was $2.5M.

2500 vehicles at ≈ $80k a pop, we're talking $200M.

Signed off by Noem's former political director/swamp creature Madison Sheahan. Probably no-bid. Bunch of crooks.

The academic world isn't immune to Parkinson's Law or Norton's Law, therefore any use of AI will eventually require the use of AI *ALL* the time, by *EVERYONE*.

I still remember when computers were going to automate/simplify our lives 😂

I mean, LOAC is a multinational field, & care in target discrimination is a spectrum that correlates with other factors, therefore negligent TD = not remotely on the same level as deliberately targeting civilians.

What I’m more concerned with are reports that AI provided obsolete target data

No way. I was a USAF musician for 24 years & I did a number of tattoos exactly like the one in Sri Lanka (in fact I might have worked with the Iranian Navy Band, can't remember).

We don't fly planes, they don't crew boats (except emergencies).

When deployed we carry M16s on base & that's it.

...compel the Navy unit to depart, given that Iran was then at war?

- last is the most ridiculous: the idea that musicians were crewing the boat. Military musicians *never* crew boats. They are passengers.

If all of your assumptions are true, you *MAY* have a point.

Problem is, you're making a hell of a lot of assumptions. Questions you are waving your hands at:

- Was the ship already docked & band already performing at the tattoo when the U.S. declared war?

- Did Sri Lanka...

All Dunkin’ has to do is offer straight coffee and make sugar optional

Badda bing problem solved

The fuck are you talking

I mean but what does "party line" mean tho. If "party line" means the best attempt to coalesce the known will of constituents, naturally it's going to sound middling and I don't understand why it's "bad."

I'm generally tired of conclusions about people's' motives based on assumptions

Very busy Dave

In a war conducted under legal authority, absolutely true.

In a war that expressly violates domestic and international law per se, nope.

Boy the Pedo Rapist Orangoutang sure is trying hard & wasting a lot of money to acquire a capability he says they won’t use.

Could it be he’s lying? 🙄

This is amazing.

It’s really becoming less of a horseshoe and more of a ring

You guys are fighting like people that have significant disagreements.

You don’t.

Go touch grass

"A lawful presence implies protection" therefore an unlawful presence necessarily does not.

I guess we're just doing basic logical fallacies now.

What a lightweight.

Pretty hard to conclude that GOP isn't "winning" when they control 3 out of 3 branches of the federal government

It’s not a matter of *if* that idea puts cash in Trump’s pocket.

Just a matter of how.

I and my USG colleagues would go to external meetings where lunch would be served and to follow the rules we had to pay for our sandwiches.

Though Wasserman had *personal* preferences in the 2016 primary, she didn't *officially* transition the office per bylaws until she she deemed HRC mathematically won.

One can criticize whether it was too soon, but in either case I don't consider 2016 to be "recent," esp. since DWS is long gone.

The key is to start from the premise that Kristi Noem only lies and is only motivated by self-gain & self-aggrandizement.

Then everything makes perfect sense.

PreCheck requires precisely ZERO personnel to implement.

It's a computer database.

I have literally never heard Noem tell the truth about anything, ever.

As I'm watching CSPAN, Donald Trump seriously just called in to public forum at 9:51 am CST pretending to be a caller named "JOHN BARRON from Virginia".....

The host cut him off and switched callers, AS THEY SHOULD. I paused and rewound to record it, I could hardly believe what I heard. What a tool
