So this kid gets an AR-15 illegally because it looked cool. He then takes his “cool“ looking rife to a protest where he claims he didn’t intend to kill anyone?
Unfucking believable.

On the whole the majority of people are ignorant on how things work. And when things go the way they don’t think they should go they must have someone to blame. Often it’s the wrong person. And is usually, in this country, the President of the United States. Sometimes there is something a President can do but in a free society its limited.
People are blaming President Biden for the high gas prices when in fact it’s due to a number of issues like the price of crude oil set by OPEC, the increased demand for gas as we come out the pandemic, here in CA we have a special blend of gas for the winter months that adds to the cost and state taxes attached per gallon of gas. But somehow this is all President Biden’s fault.
And then there is the supply chain. Again there are those claiming it’s all his fault.
From a CBS article..
“Thanks to a variety of problems, exacerbated by the global COVID pandemic, the supply chain isn’t acting as it should. Cargo ships carrying approximately half a million shipping containers filled with goods from various countries in Asia await offloading at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Once they are offloaded, a shortage of truck drivers prevents those containers from moving out of ports in a timely manner. Railroad terminals, where trucks deliver goods for the next leg of the journey, are backed up with containers awaiting further transport, which, in turn, also block inbound trains. Should those goods somehow make it to a warehouse, worker shortages are limiting their timely processing.”
There are certainly things we can blame our President and other elected officials for but it would be so much better for the country if we took the time to make sure what we are blaming them for is because of their actions or inaction and not things out of their control.

For a long time I have said the Democrats need to control the narrative. They need to stop the Republicans when they spout an inaccurate version on a position.
There is no question the Republicans don’t like the Build Back Better bill because it actually helps all Americans. So they have been busy spreading misinformation. Like this…
The Republicans are out in full force discrediting the provision with tweets or comments like this…
“Democrats are ending decades-old, bipartisan protections for religious preschools and child care centers that will pressure facilities to choose between federal funding and their faith,” Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeted.”
Its not.

I like Paul Waldman….
From The Washington Pist…
“Opinion: Infrastructure is a liberal plot to make you love big government”
By Paul Waldman
Columnist
Yesterday at 11:35 a.m. EST
“As the week began, Democrats were celebrating final passage of a long-overdue infrastructure bill, which will address a range of pressing needs from lead water pipes to crumbling bridges to broadband deserts, while it will likely create hundreds of thousands of jobs. Meanwhile, Republicans were livid that a few of their representatives voted for the bill, and took their anger out on Big Bird.
In a way, those Republicans are right to be mad, because infrastructure improvements are indeed a liberal plot to undermine everything the contemporary GOP stands for.
Yes, some Republicans — 19 in the Senate and 13 in the House — did vote for the bill. In those votes you can see the fading vestiges of an age when members of both parties considered it their obligation to deliver tangible benefits for their constituents. That’s how you got reelected: a repaired bridge here, a new hospital wing there, all celebrated with a ribbon-cutting at which the congressman or senator who brought home the bacon was center stage for the local media.
But your hometown paper has probably gone out of business or been bought up by private equity vultures and stripped for parts. And for most Republican officeholders, what matters now is what’s airing on Fox News, where the culture war is king.
Which is where Big Bird comes in. Republicans spent the weekend pretending to be outraged that “Sesame Street” was telling kids not to be afraid of vaccinations, even though Big Bird has been talking to kids about vaccines for half a century. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) immediately denounced it as “Government propaganda...for your 5 year old!” Across Fox News, apoplectic talking heads pummeled the show. An Arizona state senator tweeted “Big Bird is a communist.”
Alexandra Petri: Big Bird’s vaccine doesn’t make him a communist. This does.
All of which no doubt left the Republican base with the warm feeling that can only come from a good round of shaking your fist at liberals. Meanwhile, Democrats are asking themselves whether their infrastructure bill can actually be turned into a political winner.
There are at least a few Republicans who worry that it might. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (who voted for the bill) is touting the good it might do for his home state of Kentucky; he clearly doesn’t want Democrats to get all the credit. But the more visible its effects are — and the more Republicans characterize it as a socialist boondoggle (or attack their own leadership because a few of their members in the House helped pass it) — the more Democrats will have an opportunity to use it as a case study in what Democratic governance actually does for people’s lives. Already, the White House is dispatching Cabinet secretaries and members of Congress across the country to promote the coming repairs and upgrades to roads, bridges and much more.
So why do I say this is indeed a fundamentally liberal accomplishment? A few reasons.
First, it avoided most of the gimmicks and giveaways Republicans usually employ when crafting similar bills. You’ve probably forgotten by now, but amid all the “Infrastructure Week” jokes, the Trump administration did at one point in 2018 put out an infrastructure plan. It was full of misleading numbers and public-private “partnerships” in the form of gigantic tax gifts to private companies to build whatever projects they found most profitable. Rather than the government owning the bridge or road, the private company would — and they’d then charge us tolls to use it forever.
Second, the fact that Republicans failed to pass infrastructure improvements everyone acknowledged were necessary when they were in charge, but Democrats succeeded, reveals a key truth: Only one party is serious about governing these days.
If you’re a wealthy person looking for a tax cut, Republicans will come through for you. But on more fundamental obligations of government, such as making sure you have clean water to drink, only one party will really try to deliver. It wasn’t always that way — Dwight Eisenhower was substantially responsible for building the interstate highway system — but it is now.
And finally, infrastructure is fundamentally liberal because, when it’s done well, it reinforces the idea that there are important things that only government can do. As long as you believe that, you’ll be favorably inclined toward politicians who actually want government to do those things — and just as important, can make it happen.
That doesn’t mean the administration will have an easy time convincing voters that this bill (and the Build Back Better social infrastructure bill, should it pass as well) is a great reason to get out and vote for Democrats. Many of the benefits will take months or years to be felt in people’s lives. And in a polarized age, nothing drives voter turnout like anger.
Which is why they should argue that what matters about that new bridge in your town is not only that Democrats delivered it but that Republicans fought against it. Will it work to say, “While our opponents are complaining about Big Bird, we’re actually helping improve your lives”? It’s certainly worth a shot.”
What is said in this column about the Republicans, they have no defense to offer as a rebuttal.

Boy is he out of touch with the real world…
“Cotton’s arguments for qualified immunity aren’t new, and most are easily refuted. For example, he argues that eliminating qualified immunity is just a stealth effort to “defund” the police. Yet much of the high-profile criticism of the doctrine has come not from Black Lives Matter or police abolitionists, but from libertarian groups such as the Cato Institute and the Institute for Justice, and scholars such as University of Chicago law professor Will Baude, who contributes to the right-leaning Volokh Conspiracy blog.
Cotton also repeats the false claim that eliminating qualified immunity would cause police officers to face financial hardship or “bankruptcy.” In fact, a 2014 study found that “governments paid approximately 99.98% of the dollars that plaintiffs recovered in lawsuits alleging civil rights violations by law enforcement.”
In addition, Cotton argues that “officers who violate department policies can be disciplined or fired, and those who commit crimes are criminally prosecuted just like anyone else.” However, serious discipline for officer misconduct is rare, and made rarer by police culture that punishes whistleblowers.”

onelasttimeSure they can be disciplined and fired.... Has Cotton not listened to anyone discussion police issues lately? Guess not... Maybe IF governments weren't so willing to pay out insurance, supplemented by the tax payers, so quickly they might hold the bad officers to the real rules and regulations. They would end up paying much less and have happier officers and citizens too.

Well now, this would be a good thing!! Even as former President Donald Trump's allies defy subpoenas from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot, the committee is hoping that allies of former Vice President Mike Pence will be more willing to talk. CNN reports that the Capitol riot committee "is interested in gathering information from at least five members of former Vice President Mike Pence's inner circle," specifically on actions Trump and his allies took to pressure Pence to reject the certified results of the 2020 election. "Some individuals close to Pence may be willing, either voluntarily or under the guise of a 'friendly subpoena,' to provide critical information on how Trump and his allies tried to pressure the former vice president to overturn the results of the 2020 election," CNN writes. "According to sources familiar with the discussions, some Pence aides are proving more willing to engage with the committee than previously made public." Pro-Trump attorney John Eastman wrote a memo claiming that Pence had the power as vice president to reject the certified results of the election and then send the decision back to Republican-controlled state houses. Trump angrily criticized Pence after he refused to go along with this scheme, and Trump supporters infamously chanted "Hang Mike Pence!" during the January 6th Capitol riots. www.rawstory.com/mike-pence-capitol-riot-2655534222/ |

This is outrageous. Even his own sister, Gosar's own sister, called him a sociopath yesterday. I mean, where is the leadership of the Republican Party saying that this is unacceptable, that we can't do this. That excuse is ridiculous. This wasn't about immigration.

This is the scary part!!! ‘Somebody’s going to get killed’: Dem lawmaker hammers GOP for refusing to punish Gosar for violent video John Wright November 10, 2021 Connecticut Democratic Congressman Jim Himes appeared on MSNBC on Wednesday to discuss reports of violent threats against his 13 Republican colleagues in the House who voted in favor of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill last week. "It's a really sad state of affairs," Himes said, noting that 15 years go, nothing would have been less controversial than an infrastructure bill to address roads and bridges. Now this being turned into a betrayal of Donald Trump," Himes said. "We know where Trump's coming from, right? Joe Biden got this done. Donald Trump will never be able to live with that." He noted that critics of the 13 Republicans, including GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, have referred to them as "traitors" and "communists" and accused them of destroying America. "You're hearing this from someone who lived through Jan. 6," Himes said. "It's a matter of time before a less responsible follower of Donald Trump, or a less responsible Republican, is going to pick up a weapon and kill someone, and I never imagined that I would be concerned about that, but here we are, and I think that's a very real threat. If Republicans can't dial back their rhetoric, that's where this is going to end." Host Nicole Wallace pointed to a Department of Homeland Security intelligence bulletin issued Wednesday, which warned of threats from anti-government extremists, saying DHS had "reached the same conclusion" as Himes, who sits on the House intelligence committee. "We've just been through four years where the president of the United States gave license to those groups," Himes said, pointing to Trump's refusal to denounce the Proud Boys by telling them to "stand back and stand by," as well as his statement that there were good people "on both sides" of the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally. "They've been given license, they've been encouraged by the establishment wing of the Republican Party. What the president of the United States said matters," Himes said, before turning his attention to GOP Congressman Paul Gosar, who posted a meme earlier this week showing him killing Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. "No one's calling for him to be sanctioned," Himes said. "They're calling for the folks who helped with bridges and roads to be sanctioned. If this continues, somebody's going to get killed, and while my colleagues will try to wash their hands of the responsibility, make no mistake, the language that is being used, the rhetoric that is being used, is going to result in people being killed or hurt." "I want to hear from the Republican leadership saying, 'We will not tolerate this because someone is going to get killed,'" Himes added. "People need to start saying that loud and clear, starting by the way with (House GOP leader) Kevin McCarthy. If leaders keep tolerating this stuff, somebody's going to get killed." www.rawstory.com/kevin-mccarthy-paul-gosar/ |

This guy thinks it might not be bad if temperatures continue to rise in the world.
So I asked Google about what happens if the temperatures continue to rise….
Heat exhaustion: According to The Mayo Clinic, heat exhaustion is characterized by profuse sweating and a rapid pulse/heartbeat; these two symptoms essentially indicate the body is overheating. Other signs of heat exhaustion include dizziness, low blood pressure and muscle cramps. Individuals who suspect they have heat exhaustion should immediately stop whatever they are doing, retreat to a relatively cool location, and consume cool water or electrolyte-filled sports drinks.
Heat stroke: Heat stroke could be characterized as 'advanced heat exhaustion'; the Mayo Clinic notes that individuals diagnosed with heat stroke usually have a temperature in excess of 104 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to the outside temperature, the symptoms of heat stroke may be exacerbated by prescription medication, preexisting medical conditions, high humidity and even consuming alcohol on a hot day. Unlike heat exhaustion, heat stroke demands medical attention; untreated heat stroke can negatively affect the brain, heart, kidneys and muscles.
Cardiovascular disease: According to the National Institute of Environmental Health Science, extreme heat (as well as extreme cold) has been linked to a higher incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases and conditions, such as strokes and dysrhythmia. Cardiovascular disease is already the deadliest medical condition in the United States, and strokes are listed as the country's third leading cause of death.
Kidney disease: Prolonged exposure to excessively hot temperatures can lead to major kidney problems, notes American Family Physician contributor James L. Glazer, M.D. Rhabdomyolysis, a condition caused by damaged tissue, often results from heat stroke and has been linked to long-term renal disease. The body's ability to regulate water intake may also be affected, which can lead to kidney and/or bladder infections.
Aggravated allergies: Since two major allergens ― pollen and ragweed ― spread during relatively warm months; the EPA notes that spring allergy seasons are occurring earlier each year as a result of increasing temperatures.
Its already been noted that the poor, especially in the poorer countries will be impacted the most.

11/11/21 Unfortunately former's Happy Veterans' Day dangerous and thoughtless message!! Donald Trump suggested in a Veterans Day message that the military had been weakened since he left office, but he vowed to return.The twice-impeached one-term president issued a brief video message from a set that looked not unlike the Oval Office paying "tribute to all of those incredible people" who "serve so well and so strong and so powerfully" in the U.S. armed forces, but then steered the topic to his own election defeat. "We love you, our nation respects you, the world respects you, and we will come back," Trump said. "Our country has gone through a lot. The last period of time has been very, very tough, watching what you had to watch, but our country will be back and will be back stronger than ever. Happy Veterans Day."www.rawstory.com/donald-trump-veterans-day/ |
