Liz Cheney blocked January 6 scrutiny of Ginni Thomas, book says (www.theguardian.com)

Liz Cheney, the Republican vice-chair of the House January 6 committee, did “all she could” to protect the rightwing supreme court justice Clarence Thomas and his wife, the political activist Ginni Thomas, by blocking an in-depth investigation of Ginni’s involvement in Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020...

It’s bad and worse. People are so worried about keeping the worse party out of office that they refuse to criticize the bad party.

AnneBonny ,

The Democrats are not fine.

The bump stock ban overturned by the Supreme Court was put in place by Trump. He is not pro-gun.

AnneBonny ,

Why take a chance on Biden getting replaced with a good candidate?

AnneBonny ,

He’s not pro-gun.

I just said that.

Neither is he anti-gun.

I’m not very convinced of that.

“It takes so long to go to court to get the due process procedures I like taking the guns early like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida he had a lot of firearms and they saw everything to go to court would have taken a long, long time so you could exactly what you’re saying but take the guns first, go through due process second.” - Trump

He’s pro-Trump.

I wouldn’t argue with that.

AnneBonny ,

That’s not true. There are other felons with a chance at winning, they just haven’t been convicted yet.

AnneBonny ,

I read that he could be taken off the ballot in some places, but I haven’t verified that.

AnneBonny ,

What’s the felony charge for protesting called?

AnneBonny ,

They asked for more.

The government sought 151 months — or more than 12.5 years — in federal prison for Easterday

AnneBonny ,

No, but they aren’t looking at history for a pattern that matches current events. They are looking for current events to match to the historical pattern they already chose, which is Hitler’s rise to power.

AnneBonny ,

Gun control advocacy is like a religion for some people.

AnneBonny ,

Don’t worry about it.

AnneBonny ,

The internet archive has worked reliably for me, but I am definitely checking this out.

AnneBonny ,

Sadly nothing Boeing has done is criminal in the US even though it absolutely should be.

I doubt that you know whether Boeing has or has not broken any laws.

AnneBonny ,

What is your point?

AnneBonny ,

Definitely.

AnneBonny ,

Eating, getting dressed, and talking with real people are all good things for your mental health. Typing on a keyboard doesn’t help, otherwise we’d be the least depressed generation ever.

I agree that typing on a keyboard isn’t a substitute for therapy. Writing can serve as an creative outlet for emotion in the same way as music or painting.

AnneBonny ,

I can’t imagine that you can get out of bed without waking your wife if your smartwatch vibrating wakes her up.

AnneBonny ,

I assume that OP isn’t sleeping with the wrist wearing the watch underneath the pillow their wife has her head on.

Pulling your arm from under a pillow someone is using seems very likely to disturb them and wake them. You’re not doing that, OP, right?

AnneBonny ,

Well, I’m sure you’re right.

AnneBonny ,

Just like paying protection money to the local gang.

This is like paying protection money to a local gang:

By that logic, women are committing murder every time they menstruate.

An unfertilized egg is not the same thing as an embryo.

AnneBonny ,

I just don’t understand the US and the 2nd.

It is complicated and a lot of people are ignorant.

AnneBonny ,

He was already a felon:

A not guilty plea was entered Monday on behalf of Tolbert, who also faces one count each of felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition, lying to a peace officer in a violent crime investigation and four counts of felony firearm, Potbury said.

He said Tolbert is barred from possessing firearms and ammunition because he has multiple firearms-related felony convictions and drug-related convictions.

AnneBonny ,

Sacrifices have to be made.

  • People insist on driving larger cars, creating more severe accidents.
  • People insist on driving more expensive cars, driving up replacement and repair costs.

Electric cars are a contributing factor to both of these trends.

With respect to more expensive cars, people don’t have a choice.

AnneBonny ,

The most sold vehicle in the USA are oversized pick-up …

I’d like to see the figures you’re looking at. SUVs are usually counted as “light trucks”, and manufacturers have killed off a lot of car lines and replaced them with SUVs.

More people are buying electric cars. Electric cars are heavier, and so are electric “light trucks”. More electric cars on the road is going to push the average weight of vehicles on the roads upwards. Heavier cars take farther to stop and they aren’t as nimble. Heavier vehicles are more likely to be involved in an accident, and accidents are going to be more severe.

The F-150 Lightning weighs 6,500 pounds (2,900 kg), over 35% more than the internal-combustion-engine (ICE) powered equivalent F-150, with most of the additional weight a result of the Lightning’s 1,800 pounds (820 kg) battery. The F-150 Lightning was one of several electric vehicles cited by National Transportation Safety Board head Jennifer Homendy as being significantly heavier than ICE-powered models and thus raising the risk of other road users being killed or seriously injured in collisions, alongside products from other manufacturers such as General Motors and Volvo.

US official warns of risks posed by heavy electric vehicles
The official, Jennifer Homendy, raised the issue in a speech in Washington to the Transportation Research Board. She noted, by way of example, that an electric GMC Hummer weighs about 9,000 pounds (4,000 kilograms), with a battery pack that alone is 2,900 pounds (1,300 kilograms) — roughly the entire weight of a typical Honda Civic.

Millennials and Gen Zers are pulling in bigger paychecks, but much of their spending power is fueling short-term purchases like groceries and vacations, not savings.

Savings is not a purchase.

Jury convicts Iowa police chief of lying to feds to acquire machine guns (apnews.com)

The jury convicted Adair Police Chief Brad Wendt, 47, of conspiring to make false statements to the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, making false statements to the agency, and illegal possession of a machine gun. He was convicted on 11 of 15 charges....

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

what does this mean

Is there a reason why Biden can bypass congress to sell arms to Israel but not Ukraine?

edit: thanks for the answers

AnneBonny ,

Thank you for the answer.

The Republican governor’s hand-picked board of education voted on Wednesday to replace the established course on the principles of sociology at its 12 public universities with its own US history curriculum, incorporating an “historically accurate account of America’s founding [and] the horrors of slavery”.

Where can I find details about this course?

Depression is the name for a set of symptoms. The cause of depression can be a disorder, a disease, or environmental.

During the court-sanctioned intrusion, the DOJ “enabled temporary collection of non-content routing information” that would “expose GRU attempts to thwart the operation.” This did not “impact the routers’ normal functionality or collect legitimate user content information,” the DOJ claims.

I bet.

Tesla Cybertrucks Are Rusting Despite Being Made Of Stainless Steel (jalopnik.com)

Despite the recent release of these Tesla EVs — and the little road time they’ve been subjected to — Cybertrucks are already developing imperfections on their body panels, leading owners to debate what’s causing the early signs of rust on forums. From Futurism:...

AnneBonny ,

I would like to see some pictures. It’s hard to judge what the magnitude of the problem is without seeing.

AnneBonny ,

it looked like it had just driven through a mud puddle, except evenly over the entire vehicle

I wouldn’t expect a vehicle to rust uniformly.

AnneBonny ,

I can’t explain it either. I’m sure someone will figure out what is going on.

AnneBonny ,

It’s not Nato, it’s NATO isn’t it?

AnneBonny ,

But we are going to elect him anyway, because the other guy forgot a thing once

Are you going to pretend the genocide being carried out in Gaza is a non-factor?

AnneBonny ,

I’m not campaigning for Trump. Sticking your head in the sand and pretending that Gaza isn’t a problem will not help Biden win re-election.

AnneBonny ,

Biden has bypassed congress to sell arms to Israel.
Doesn’t congress know those artillery shells aren’t going to be fired into Gaza? Are they just antisemitic?

Biden Administration Bypasses Congress Again On Emergency Weapons Sale to Israel

'Disenfranchised' millennials feel 'locked out' of the housing market and it taints every part of economic life, top economist Mark Zandi says (fortune.com)

Few milestones in life mean as much to the American Dream as owning a home. And millennials have encountered the kind of trouble totally befitting their generation, which largely graduated into the teeth of the disastrous post-2008 job market. Just as they entered peak homebuying and household formation age, housing...

Spreading disinformation, especially about serious topics like economics, medicine, politics, religion, etc, needs to be cracked down on more. Posing as a professional online and spreading damaging info on purpose should result in jail time imo.

After four years of having Trump as president, how is it possible that you cannot see how dangerous ideas like this are?

AnneBonny ,

I’m surprised to see so many people supporting the actions of Gov. Abbott.

AnneBonny ,

Maybe “accepting” would have been a better choice? I don’t know.

AnneBonny ,

The paper included a decade’s worth of data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention among Black women ages 25 to 44 across 30 states.

This seems weirdly specific.

AnneBonny ,

I think it is bullshit to pretend that black people living in America have nothing in common with each other, which is what the person I responded to seemed to believe.
