Let Minneapolis burn. They voted for it.
I am very familiar with that city and the good people that live there. You can be too kind for your own good. An odd paradox.
To me, if the death of George Floyd had been reported exactly as it happened, the reaction would have been proportionate. The headline was 100 times the event and the reaction was catastrophically disproportionate. Make George Floyd white and no one knows about it. No riots, no protests, nothing.
[quote quote=2761]I don’t golf but do live on a golf course and I am not surprised at all. Despite all the righteous indignation to the contrary, it’s actually a fairly rare person who has the discipline to “bring it” day after day without accountability or supervision. Suddenly we think everybody can do it and it’s no problem. The people who are going to really get hurt in this will be the more junior people who get zero face time and role modeling.[/quote]
Have had this conversation before as well regarding supervision.
Can engineers who are on a team project work from home effectively. An engineer friend who retired from Raytheon said no. Can your Internist really meet with you by Zoom and be effective as if it were in person? Are teachers working remotely as effective as they are in person? Or a social worker?
How far and how long can you take this?
2nd Law of Thermo applies to California. To live in California implies that you will have to be very adaptive to what’s coming if you plan to stay.
You could make the case that California can be explained through energy politics. Green politics, Oil. Coal. Water. Nuclear. The people of California have been educated into thinking about the future in terms of one central theme, global warming. Solve that and you get utopia. Shortages, costs, water problems, over-population, immigration. These are just what you have to deal with until utopia.
What you end up with is an entire population that is far far from equilibrium. Most of the western world at its worst is not as chaotic. And as the energy problems worsen, so will the chaos. And the media substitutes feelings for substance to make everyone feel better.
Portland is a staging area for the battle between civilization and anarchy.
What’s odd is that the anarchists seem to have a lot of money, planning and command and control.
I hate squirrels. But I’m glad I don’t have to look at the Indian Giant multi colored Squirrel.

Yes politics to her last breath. No rest for the wicked.
Good news for Trump though. He will nominate a candidate Tues. Cackling Kamala Harris is on the Judiciary committee and will be taken off the campaign trail and the country gets to see what’s she is all about. Diane Feinstein gets to take another clean shot at Amy Coney Barret’s Christian beliefs.
This will be rough Democracy at it’s best. Can’t wait.
Edge Orange team.
This is disinformation. What totalitarian regimes do to deceive for political purposes. His legal team has to be behind this PR campaign. He’d never do this otherwise. The Russia Hoax continues.

I’ll bet you a Nickel that we hear from Durham prior to election. Team Trump, including Barr, has no incentive to play nice after what those people did right up through impeachment a few months ago. And if Trump loses they will hound him and his people to the ends of the earth. Durham also knows that his year and a half grand jury will be vaporized election night if Biden wins. What’s he got to lose? If nothing happens, the country will have to reckon with about 100 million disenfranchised voters.
That’s a really good analogy. I used to call them corporate reptiles. They’re at their worst when they start talking about ethics or impossible goals.
First they bring in a consultant like Booz Allen who knows exactly what to give them. Then the consultants create a report to justify before the board what they want. Then they always bring in a hatchet man at the VP level who does the employee slaughter. He/she stays around for a couple of years and then they vanish when the executions are complete.
“i am surprised that given today’s social media prevalence, an enterprising journalist hasn’t traced the professional rioters and their handlers and backers. Or just the FBI.[/quote]”
I’m sure there are many enterprising journalists who know exactly who the pro rioters, handlers and funding backers are.
I’ll bet Tom Perez and Al Sharpton know. John Brennan and Jim Comey know too. That was part of their job description. Trump knows too but he’s just playing his hand.
The Box 13 scandal was the Texas Senate election of 1948 won/stolen by Lyndon Johnson. How easy it can be. What’s of interest is that this went to the Supreme Court which ruled that the Federal Government was not allowed to get involved in a state election. Unlike the hanging chad election of 2000 which went to the Supreme Court because it was Federal. At the state level, it’s apparently much easier to commit fraud.
