OMG, Newsome would destroy Harris in the primaries. This is a woman who couldn’t even carry her own state in 3 years ago.
Let her run. It will be fun to watch.
Vegas oddsmakers have old Joe not making it to the end of his term.
My bet – a very small wager – is power brokers get Kamala to step down. Sleepy picks a new VP- Newsome? Klobachur? Booker? and then resigns for health reasons.
Hey, you can’t make this shit up.
[quote quote=6197]“If the mob had been able to seize a hostage, Pelosi or Pence, the consequences would have been serious. I can guarantee you Trump would have tried to negotiate his way into a second term.” Probably the most ridiculous comment I’ve read in a long time. GR, are you actually Outsider Fan from TOS?[/quote]
GR assumes Trump was in control of the mob and could make this happen.
The gun show loophole is the sale between private parties. Washington closed that loophole (I believe Oregon has the same or similar law) in that any sale between private parties must be brokered by a Federal Firearms Licensee. There is a 3 day waiting period on the transfer.
The left loves hyperbole, and they bring it in spades when talking about gun control. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/30/the-gun-show-loophole-myth/
Switzerland is a good study on gun ownership. Estimates peg 75% of the population owns a hunting rifle, while 25% on handguns. Switzerland has a gun culture that works with training, regulations, and insistence on responsible gun ownership.
Agree with Legend on this, except I disagree with Noonan on Red Flag laws. They sound wonderful, and would be useful if not abused. Bottom line for me, Red Flag laws deny otherwise law abiding citizens due process. There is an opportunity for abuse by the over zealous.
Some time back, GR posited that LE knocking on the door and asking a few questions would be enough to dissuade potential mass shooters. I believe this to be true.
I think about “The Minority Report” whenever Red Flag laws are mentioned. Arrest the perp before the crime is committed. What the heck, lets put AI to good use.

My daughter-in-law is principal at Willow Glenn Middle school. We don’t talk politics, but she has a pretty clear vision of what schools should be and do. Keeping is short, Sacramento is out of touch. Kids can’t be kicked out of school for bad behavior, and now that same behavior can’t even be reported? Geez….
Hey Beeg Dawg, Mrs. Mick left the teaching profession for all those reasons. BTW, is she at the Willow Glen Middle School in San Jose? That’s about a mile from my house.[/quote]
That’s the one. Quick story…..
She was a student at Willow Glenn as well. When we were introduced, she was teaching history. I made some quip about “Welcome Back Kotter”, which she totally failed to get. I mean, just because it was off the air before she was born? 🙂

Geez….In terms of traits, Suzanne Degges-White Ph.D., highlighted the 9 narcissistic traits as follows. The individual:
- Believes that he or she is special and unique
- Shows an excessive need for admiration.
- Has a grandiose or exaggerated sense of self-importance
- Possess a sense of entitlement
- Is jealous and envious of others
- Has a pattern of exploiting others
- Is arrogant and haughty
- Lacks of empathy
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) lists these nine criteria for NPD. However, an individual only needs to meet five of the nine to clinically qualify as a narcissist. In his testimony, Dr. Spiegel indicated that Depp displayed a number of these traits and went on to give examples of each, including a need for admiration, a sense of entitlement, fragile self-esteem, and a lack of empathy.
Not trying to prove he is or isn’t. IMHO, working in the entertainment business makes one a candidate.
Justice would be served to force these two to spend their remaining years together.
Why let them fuck up someone else’s life? They deserve each other. Narcissistic bitches.
Ask me how I really feel…..
Journalism died during the birth of social media. “News” is now all about telling a story, not about reporting. It is no longer about getting it right, it is all about getting it first.
Exhibit 1 – Duke Lacrosse rape case.
Trump, ultra-Maga, Trumpsters, Trump supporters…..good lord, what would the pearl clutchers do without Trump and his minions?
Biden is correct on one thing….Scott’s plan will increase taxes on 75M Americans. According to Scott’s plan, everyone will have a little skin in the game at tax time. The 75M Biden is referring to are not currently playing federal income tax. I have no problem with that.
But according to Jenn Psaki, this is a technical correction caused by businesses increasing inventory. Huh?
I’m having trouble keeping up with the narrative. We have inflation because demand is outpacing supply of goods, but businesses are increasing inventory and depressing GDP?
I thought I knew something about the economy, but I fail to see how this can happen.
Bob, you missed my point. I was not referring to the mandate in this case, I was commenting on the fact that only one federal judge is required to override ANY administrations decisions or policies .
Looking back, inferior courts blocked most of Trump’s executive orders. 1 judge, 1 decision and we can’t stop people from know terrorist shitholes from legally entering the US. Don’t like Trumps border policy, find a friendly judge to issue a stay.
1 judge should not be able to override or suspend an executive order. I don’t believe the USSC upheld any ruling made by a lone district court judge against trump, as an example, but the lower courts created havoc.
Seems like there ought to be at least 3 randomly selected federal judges to rule on executive orders.
[quote quote=6036]
Here is a pretty good editorial on the ruling. Personally, I’m happy to see the mask mandate go away but I do not like the idea a single judge can turn the entire country on its head.
Agreed, but unfortunately it happens regularly. That’s the system.[/quote]
Mick, Can’t Roberts change this? I read it was only a matter of procedure for the Chief Justice to change it.
