Off Topic Discussion / FBI pick.

« on: December 01, 2024, 09:26:56 PM »

Huge controversy again.
Trump simply testing the Senatorial waters for loyalty?
Like he did with Gaetz
Will he drop out as well? Then select another almost on the threshold?

I think he simply wants the most right wing that the Senate will tolerate.

Off Topic Discussion / Like COVID, Helene Already Giving Dems the Big Advantage

« on: October 09, 2024, 11:19:59 AM »

Far more Dem votes because of mail in. GOP doesn't seem to like mail in and homes polling places under mud. Will happen in Florida as well.

Registered Democrats in North Carolina have taken an early lead in returning mail votes after the rules were loosened to make it easier for voters in areas devastated by Hurricane Helene.

So far, 22,910 mail-in votes have been returned, 9,075 by registered Democrats, 5,595 by registered Republicans and 8,240 by voters not affiliated with the major parties, according to VoteHub.us, which said its source is the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

Overall, more Democrats requested mail-in ballots than Republicans.

Another 261,335 mail-in votes have not yet been returned, of which 93,285 are registered Democrats, 65,333 are registered Republicans and 102,717 are not affiliated with the major parties.

Off Topic Discussion / Harris bringing along a CNN interview CRUTCH

« on: August 28, 2024, 11:42:20 AM »

To answer all her difficult questions

From The Wall Street Journal

Dont think Kamala Harriss handlers are shielding her from tough questions? Consider that in her first sit down interview with the press this week, shes bringing along a crutch, running mate Tim Walz.

The Vice Presidents campaign has finally allowed her to take questions from Dana Bash of CNN. But instead of a one on one interview, Ms. Bash will have to deal with the Veep and Mr. Walz.

This is a DELIBERATE attempt to limit the potential exposure risks for the Vice President.

The one on two format will limit Ms. Harriss time in answering questions. It will also make it harder for Ms. Bash to pose follow up questions that bore in on the Vice Presidents contradictions with previous positions, or get beyond general blather and seek specifics on taxes or foreign policy. Mr. Walz will be there with a parachute to rescue the presidential candidate if she has a rough go or struggles to answer something.

This is one more Harris campaign INSULT to American voters. The Vice President was handed the nomination in an inside job a month ago. She is the least known presidential candidate in modern history and has had the least amount of media scrutiny. Her views on the crucial issues shed confront as President arent clear, and what we do know has been dribbled out in campaign press statements that we are supposed to accept as her real views.

HER CAMPAIGN SPEECHES AMOUNT TO LITTLE MORE THAN GAUZY RHETORIC AND VIBES.

When Pelosi et al were forcing Biden out I would have liked to find a Lets Go Joe sticker since I wanted him to face Trump in November.

Going to remove my Brandon sticker. Wish there was an equally appropriate one for Harris before November.

Off Topic Discussion / Vance to debate Walz Oct 1 on CBS. Accepted CNN debate Sept 18 but....

« on: August 15, 2024, 11:59:27 AM »

Walz hasn't agreed to that one yet.


"Not only do I accept the CBS debate on October 1st, I accept the CNN debate on September 18th as well. I look forward to seeing you at both!"
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to Axios' question as to whether Walz will accept the Sept. 18 debate invite."

"CNN confirmed in a statement that it had invited both Walz and Vance to a debate, and Vance has accepted. If Walz agrees to CNN's proposal, this would appear to be the first time that the vice presidential nominees debate more than once during a presidential election."

Off Topic Discussion / Mickie D's finally realized they'd better lower prices

« on: August 09, 2024, 12:46:50 PM »

Went to get my daughter a burger yesterday at the McDonald's close to home and saw it was packed with kids and housewives. Been a long time since it's been that way. I noticed why.

They had the old $5 meal menu again. Double cheeseburger, 4 nuggets, a fries, and a drink for $5.

It had previously been practically empty. Long drive through line again.

They realized to make some profit they had to accept LESS profit or lose a lot of customers.



I see White Castle is following suit.

Off Topic Discussion / How Dare You Vance?? Anti Woman/Harris Intimidator

"A CNN analyst complained about GOP vice presidential candidate JD Vance approaching Air Force 2 to try and confront Vice President Harris about her dodging the media so far during her campaign, claiming he’s trying to "intimidate" the Democratic presidential nominee.

The Grio's Natasha Alford ripped Vance on CNN Wednesday for approaching the vice president’s plane on a tarmac in Wisconsin and bashing her to the reporters who were waiting for her appearance.

"HOW DARE YOU, right? This is the vice president of the United States," Alford declared."

Off Topic Discussion / CA firearm regulations force Coarsegold's only gun store to shutter its doors

« on: August 05, 2024, 12:39:28 PM »

More businesses to follow?

Or are these laws mainly just a speed bump for most areas of CA.

“Farrell says because of new laws in California, firearm stores are required to have a million-dollar liability insurance policy add an additional 11 percent tax on customers.”

"A $500 gun now costs about $650 out the door, which is huge," he said.

“CA requires banks and credit card companies to implement a merchant category code (MCC) to process firearms transactions.

This essentially impacts the sales, costs of firearms and ammunition, and the way the business operates in California.”

Here as well in Idaho, FL and others, MCCs are banned by law.

All of these new laws a real issue for CA firearms businesses and gun owners? Or just a big inconvenience?

Off Topic Discussion / Likely No Debate before election. Town Halls instead.

« on: August 03, 2024, 11:32:45 AM »

Trump says that now since she won the virtual roll call yesterday, he will debate her Sept 4 on Fox.
She says no, stick to ABC like you agreed to with Biden.

Trump claims conflict of interest with ABC:

In a statement on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the debate would be held on 4 September in Pennsylvania. The former president said that there was a conflict of interest at play after filing a defamation lawsuit against ABC and network host George Stephanopoulos over the anchor’s assertion that Trump had been “found liable for rape” in the E Jean Carroll case.

Trump earlier this year was ordered to pay $83m for defamatory statements he had made about the magazine columnist after an earlier case found him liable for defamation and sexual abuse.  BUT THE RAPE CHARGE WAS THROWN OUT!

This proves that BOTH Harris and Trump know that the networks are politically biased

Off Topic Discussion / NASA facing a decision which will make or break Boeing and NASA as well.

« on: August 03, 2024, 11:10:14 AM »

And they are afraid to make a decision. Probably not next week as well. The reasons why:

The choice NASA faces has further ramifications, which threaten Boeing’s involvement in the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Already, Boeing’s Starliner losses total more than $1.5 billion due to repeated setbacks and years of delays in developing the spacecraft.

If NASA backs Boeing and returns Wilmore and Williams on Starliner, the agency is accepting a currently unquantifiable amount of risk. A major failure during the return, with the astronauts’ lives at stake, would put NASA leadership under pressure to end Boeing’s contract and involvement in the program.

If NASA decides to send Starliner back empty, it’s a vote of no confidence in Boeing that may lead the company to cut its losses and withdraw from the program.

Additionally, if NASA takes the SpaceX alternative and Starliner returns home without incident, the agency faces blowback from being seen as overreacting to a situation that it publicly declared for weeks was not a significant risk.

Off Topic Discussion / Jill Stein (Green Party) eligible for the ballots in swing states

« on: April 28, 2024, 11:54:12 AM »

Could be a threat for Biden. Biden only won(stole) Georgia by 11,00 votes.  RFK could take even more away.

“We will be the one campaign on track right now to be on the ballot for every voter across the country so that we can stand up to empire,” she said. “And let me just say there will be three candidates, there will be three pro-genocide, pro-war, anti-worker candidates on the ballot, and there will be one candidate across the country that will be fighting empire.”

Off Topic Discussion / Fast-Food Customers gravitating to Chili’s, Applebee’s, et al

« on: April 23, 2024, 11:03:14 AM »

Because the dining price difference gap has significantly narrowed after the $20/hr. mandate.

"Shane Paul, who runs seven Jack in the Box locations in San Diego, has already adjusted his pricing strategy.

He revealed that they have raised their prices about 10% or 11% over the past six to 12 months, marking a significant shift from his usual annual increases of 3.5% to 4%.

Following these price adjustments, Paul has noticed a concerning trend: Transactions at his restaurants are already “trending down,” he said.

https://www.savvydime.com/wage-hike-to-20-could-drive-california-fast-food-customers-to-chilis-applebees-franchisees-fear/?ac=2

OR the could keep prices stable, keep customers, and simply assume less profit.
WHY is that so completely unacceptable to them?

I prefer a sit down diner anyway.

Off Topic Discussion / David Pecker takes the stand for prosecution

« on: April 22, 2024, 10:21:27 AM »

hahaha, they said pecker.. hahaha

First witness takes the stand

"The DA alleges that Pecker, who oversaw the National Enquirer, engaged in a conspiracy with Trump and Trump's then-attorney Michael Cohen to help influence the 2016 election by killing negative stories about Trump."

https://time.com/6969739/david-pecker-witness-trump-hush-money-trial/

I DON'T get it..   If killing negative stories to achieve a goal is a high crime then why would doctors who reported negative reports of the dangers and lack of effectiveness of the Vax lose their licenses?

A complete political farce that isn't funny
