Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, the Clintons and a host of others

Nothing to be ashamed of janitorial work Jaden. my father put 3 of us thru college and he was a janitor (who branched off into buying/running apartment buildings)

and on top of it he was an immigrant (a legal one) the the US

He made out OK for someone immigrating to the US with nothing more than a suitcase of clothes and not speaking English...meanwhile others grow up here and never make it off the welfare rolls

I agree wth you on MLK...I suspect that he would be disappointed with how the "movement" has gone

Well, i didn't label it as "his", but either way, he would be disappointed IMHO

Yup, but now its ok to "punch a Nazi" or shoot up a Congressional baseball field

yes,sadly so

that line pissed me off most of all

So its ok to gang rape those 18 and over

@I AM ERROR Yes, the 'moral high ground', as in marching to saves the lives of children from guns (but then marching to kill (future) children through mass subsidized abortion. 😉

Yes, get people to all support the most "common sense" things, like being opposed to terrorists (but then not criticizing people groups like Antifa that are on the terror watch list)

Is Betsy his cat?

Cuz I noticed sometimes during his videos the camera veers off to the right and zooms in on that cat on the couch

Or he can get a seperate "cat" beanie for the cat

Both

We need some common sense Bully Hunter control laws.

@Timcast for real success you should combine the two: play skater games online 😉

Definition of slive (from Merriam-Webster Online)

-ed/-ing/-s
dialectal, chiefly England
: to slice off or cut through. “Slove” is the past tense of slive. So would “The only way to slice poverty is for the poor to die” make some sense?

Schools are already (under federal law if I’m not mistaken) “gun free” zones. Problem solved!

Unfortunately, idiocy seems to be something that is at a minimum, tolerated in education today, and at worst, encouraged. “Feelz” are more important than reality and logic.

LOL. I never heard that concept before, but I guess it makes sense. If Gatorade is good for people then it must be good for plants.

@GinsomniacgaBomber#6296 as someone alluded to above, it’s a Secret Service thing (and less a trust thing IMHO). The Secret Service’s job is to protect the President & VP. I don’t think that they can afford to trust anyone (NRA included).

Trump could serve out a second term and there will be those that will (after the completion of his 2nd term) still want to impeach him. LOL

Perhaps not, but its still very amusing

@Dr.Wol Trump probably wanted that in the initial draft but advisors/speechwriters prevailed on that being toned down. 😉

THis may have already said but I have seen a number of non-political/non-controversial You Tube posters (TheReportOfTheWeek who does mainly fast food restaurant reviews and Sailing SV Delos who do sailboating videos), also complain about the way that YT is going.

Doing so would seem counterproductive to the long term well being of YT but they wouldn't be the first company to shoot themselves in the foot

Matt Drudge/Drudge Report is probably one of the "biggest" aggregators that I am aware of

@LotheronPrime Yup, it does appear that Breitbart took it down. I had a browser window up of the earlier article. Here is a screenie of the "before and after" https://imgur.com/a/1laqvRr

I just did a google search for "Tommy Robinson arrested" . The first 4 articles I found were from: The Sun, Evening Standard, Mirror and Independent. Unless I am mistaken all are UK news sources. WHen I clicked the link to the article the Sun, Evening Standard and Independent articles came up but when I clicked on the one for the Mirror, the article does not come up

The question is: was the hemp oil thing REALLY the reason, or was it an excuse (perhaps a legitimate one but an excuse nonetheless) for pushing him off You Tube because they have an issue with his recent content?

This might be a week overdue but I just stumbled back upon it. A 4 minute musical interlude for the shitposters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lduyOrEK30k

PMCs=Private Military Contractors

Well, Grenade. In London the police claim they no longer have the resources to fight many crimes (like simple robbery and muggings) [maybe in part because they have all those hate social media crimes to eradicate). So now some people have had to resort to this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5346699/First-private-police-force-caught-400-criminals.html

@Arch-Fiend I can confirm that in the US ISPs/cable tv/phone provider services are highly regulated, often at the city or county level. Most often franchises to provide those services in a locality are limited to 2-3 companies at the most. As in only those 2-3 approved franchisess will be allowed to dig and install the wiring for those services. Sometimes they will allow other ISPs to piggy back off those providers though

But the local government is the one that approves those franchisees.

THat is exactly what I was referring to Grenade. Local governments control that--the "local right of ways" that are needed to install that infrastructure.

If you have an already established community (say a subdivision in the US), you have a limited area that you can dig those cables (typically the stretch of lawn/grass between the sidewalk and street. And if you have ever increasing numbers of companiies wanting to come in and dig to install additional cable lines then sooner or later those homeowners are going to get fed up with that

Eventiually the next installer is going to "accidentally" cut another company's cable while they are in the process of installing their owb

Well, in the commuiity that I live ( a subdivision suburb of Tampa) those storm drains are prbablt about 18 inches in circumference. Now I grew up in Chicago and I realize that some underground utility tunnels there are man sized but that is not the rule everywhere

Arch...those storm drains in Chicago can sometimes be man sized in height so the utlilities are run through a smaller pipe within the larger underground storm drain tunnels

That is never going to happen---cost prohibitive

And whoever is going to do that will need to get the local community's permission to do so...pay an annual fee to the government, etc. in other words they are given a monopoly on that. 😉

Underground tends to work better in many areas (I know in FLorida it would be better as it would minimize damages and speed up recovery after hurricanes. That is unless you are in a low lying area that is prone to flooding...in which case your underground wiring/cable/electric will get fried when you have alot of rain/hurricanes/storm surges

In my subdivision all the utilities are buried but as soon as you step outside you have large utility poles (some wooden which tend to come down easier in storms and some massive concrete poles which tend to stay up better during storms). A storm related fail will result as soon as it comes to that wooden pole.. aka the weakest link in the chain

As it is now the two two primary cable/internet/phone providers in my area have their own buried lines in the right of way (grass between the sidewalk and street). One provider uses the coax wiring to carry signals while the other provider (FIOS) uses fiber optics.

Those lines I think are no more than 1-2 feet underground.

Well, if you have ever sat in on a Homeowners Association meeting, getting a group of people to agree on assessing the members more money is not an east thing to do.

easy

A few years ago the county offered our subdibvision the chance to have a "gray water" system installed so that your water for sprinking/irrigation was reclaimed water. The per month charge on your water bill would be significantly lower but the per home initial installation costs were like $5,000. It was put to a vote of the homeowners and did not pass. The county would not do it unless a certain % of the homeowners had approved it.

"reclaimed" water is basically water from storm/sewage returns that undergoes some treatment but not the same level of treatment as drinking water.

Normally we have sprinkling restrictions (you get to water laws 1 or 2 days a week) but if you have gray water you can sprinkle unlimmited with no restrictions

Some may not have the $5k to pay now. Some are elderly and figure they will not be alive long enough to recoup their investment. Some don't plan on holding the home long enough to recoup their money. A variety of objections wre enough for the effort to fail.

Well, if you have seen how some towns deliver on their promises/utilities/infrastructure then you might not vote for the effort either. 😉

!agree

http://maddogdrivethru.net/download/file.php?id=4120 Everyone get their vote in?

Good for you. I voted early a few days agp: "Vote early, vote often" (of course I was born in Chicago 😉

What is nice to see is that they are predicting record turnouts in some areas

Or at least "record" for the recent past midterms

A few days ago I heard that more people had early voted in Florida than had voted in the 2014 midterms-period.

6 more hours in Florida

I believe that they generally start counting the moment the polls close.

Polls in Florida are open till 7pm local time (FL has 2 time zones) so even in eastern time zones Florida still open for 5 hours

Maybe some east coast states only stay open till 6pm?

This seems helpful for the hours: https://ballotpedia.org/State_Poll_Opening_and_Closing_Times_(2018)

Looks like Indiana and Kentucky are open till 6pm

@>_ Just remember that FLorida crosses 2 time zone (eastern and central). Polls open till 7pm LOCAL time in Florida

If you are standing in line when 7pm hits you are allowed to vote

Postal voting is the ONLY way to vote in Oregon and Washington

Tim might be out voting right now---I think that he said like an hour ago he was going to vote in 30 minutes

Is any system totally foolproof?

10 yrs ago everyone was going on about how 'old school' paper ballots were--they wanted electronic voting and now people go on about how they want paper ballots because computers are hackable

I'm not sure the story behind Anwan will ever totally be known.....some seemed to go to great lengths to cover his tracks

I think he worked for House Dems (Wassermanis in the House)

I know he definitely had access to Dem House computers---had not heard about access to Dem Senate

@mark k The Democratic Party has been in control of Chicago since (IIRC) 1920---not once since then has a Republican been mayor or GOP had a majority in the City Council---hell---I think over the last 30 yrs there has never been mnore than 1 Republican on the City Council (of 50 member)
