Well, a day later and the discussion is how trump didn’t come close to filling the tulsa arena. nowhere close.
I’m not at all surprised but I think it also has to be weighed against the amount of rational and irrational fearmongering on both the covid and antifa fronts.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Yep. It’s there. I just had to approve it. Take a look and let me know if I got that wrong: bunch of pasted text, right?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I think I have turned off the spam feature. If spam becomes a problem we’ll figure that out, but it shouldn’t.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Found it.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. The board software has a spam filter that has caught a few posts. I think it’s due to the pasted text.
Since we only have people on here who are known / approved and since there is no automated approval, I will see if I can find how to turn that feature off.
I didn’t know about it and it took me a bit to find where your post had landed.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)What an awful picture. Biden is going to win and we are going to be wondering what we were thinking.
I remember people making jokes about Biden being Obama’s insurance against assassination. Well, I genuinely think anybody who votes for Biden is actually voting for his VP. In that way, Biden is likely a massive, old, white trojan horse for the progressive left. Biden’s age upon taking office will be older than Reagan’s the day he left office.

And that shoe may change feet again in November. Same type of thing as the poor dems are reaping now with the Harry REid rule in the Senate.[/quote]
Truth.
DACA is an extralegal program. If it’s “valid” because one president (well, cabinet secretary in Obama’s example) declared it so, then it should be invalid if another president declared it so; but that’s not how things work. It’s mean to remove a program that benefits people, and we don’t want the government to be mean. Except to conservatives…those we can be mean to.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)Oh, you care TC. All criticism of Trump starts with what he is supposedly thinking. 😎

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I guess contriving the reason for an EO is not allowed. I guess judges get to decide what is contrived. I guess “rule of law” is a contrived reason? Haven’t read the decision. Low information commenter here.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)It will be a shame if the 2020s end up like the 1970s for cities. But, that’s where we are headed.
Of course that era did bring us Charles Bronson’s death wish series and Dirty Harry, so maybe you city dwellers can take one for the team and set the stage for more tough cop and vigilante films. Those were fun.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)No doubt. And, I’m one who suspects that Bolton isn’t one to sell out.
I’m also one who figures that Trump is probably crooked, and almost as crooked as his opponents and supporters in DC.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)There’s an easy answer for the book writers: Right now the market is likely a LOT hotter for a book about what’s wrong with Trump than it is for a book about what’s right.
That tends to be the answer to what gets put into books: What will sell.
I’ll just put it this way, if this was about Trump and Bolton’s book, you have to ask yourself if Bolton the hawk should ever be a left-wing darling? Of course not, but I’m betting they are buying his book. Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump is blowing it up to help.
The thing we really ought to ask is whether a civil servant ought to be able to make millions off a book deal after leaving government. Makes for some real ethical problems.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I have sipped the local hard liquor with a table full of Finns approximately 5 miles from the Russian border in a town called Imatra, and so I can tell you with certainty that Finland is not Russia but sure does drink like it is.
I have worked on nukes in the UK, and can state with certainty that there are in fact nukes there.
If North Dakota wasn’t part of Canada, would anyone really care?
Now, what’s the question again?

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)[quote quote=546]Geesh. We are about to get censored again. I might as well post that Fire Island photo Portster gave me of his friend with Remotey on a leash on all fours. Cute pink leash with studs, however.[/quote]
Nah, not censor-worthy.
Just don’t bring out the gimp.

Sic transit gloria mundi (so shut up and get back to work)I have a theory that technology has eliminated a broad swath of the population’s ability to read, reflect, and act deeply. There has always been the “controllable element” in the population, but it’s getting bigger and bigger. I think that’s a result of the rapid erosion of critical thinking skills.
I think we are heading into a new dark age driven by the loss of deep literacy (I posted on this a few days back).
