Is there some kind of air hockey corollary where you get the sometimes venal texture of the land as a normal signal but then something goes in a pool pocket of hat trick wrongness? I don’t see doing the FB big data stuff just for that.
Still, it’s important that Black Ethereality and Black Eventual Entrepreneurship live. (e.g. I will get my kid to read me some of Ring Shout.) Not just the Matter, be sure to cheer through the wrecked pooltables of pseudoagrestic suspension-roadway-fill (…and?) triple faults.
Let them eat rocks?
And of those 4200 who are actually appointed, how many of them have a say in who works under them in that agency, and decide who gets fired or hired/promoted in the agency they’ve been appointed? And how many of those non-appointed lower-level bureaucrats have been pushed out (or left under protest) to be replaced with more compliant underlings?
(I couldn’t resist.)
Kamala Harris is showing some restraint in not just ordering a command chain to form. Like sentai shows. The College of Cardin…no, that’s not it…those fucks are trying to toast hard cheese just right or something before their stomachs ignite to spite their…investment club? They’re not faces. (But then they’re not on Page 6 looking sketchy on a dinner appointment with people half their ages, so there’s that! Not so, Mr. Pompeo?)
I keep hoping I will run into the Trumper I know, I got some zingers for him.
“So, do you think a broke guy with emotional problems who’s had five kids with three different women should be evicted from public housing?”
We’ve known about NC since election night and 45 is still no closer to staying in office.
I honestly think you’ve fallen prey to conspiratorial nonsense as 45’s supporters.
True.
My prediction (hope I’m wrong): the republicans get enough electors to shift their vote, justifying this because of all the voter fraud, and then claim to have won the election. So much of what they’re messaging now seems to presage this strategy,
“ Today, the most common method of choosing electors is by state party convention. Each political party’s state convention nominates a slate of electors, and a vote is held at the convention. In a smaller number of states, electors are chosen by a vote of the state party’s central committee.”
Good luck getting those Dem electors to change their vote to Donnie. Electors are hard core party members.
I work in political news… and I have no idea what you are referring to as “chatter” other than some Facebook conspiracy group. Because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s probable. I think you should find more credible sources for your info. From what you’re saying, you’re info is all wrong.
It isn’t even funny anymore tho. It’s flat out insane what is happening.
I’m still thinking of the Kubler-Ross model, but I think it’s gonna be a while to stage 5:
The first stage is “Denial and Isolation.” “ This is when the patient may say, “No, not me, it cannot be true.” The patient may look to another doctor(s) for other opinions. Being in denial allows the patient a “buffer after unexpected news…to collect himself (herself) and, with time mobilize other, less radical defenses…The patient will decide when the time is to speak of their diagnosis. Denial is usually temporary and usually moves to partial acceptance.”
The second stage is “Anger.” “When people acknowledge that the diagnosis is true they usually turn to “feelings of anger, rage, envy, and resentment…‘Why me.’” “This is hard for the families, friends and caregivers as the anger is pointed in all directions. This is the time to put yourself in the patient’s position to get a sense of where the anger is coming from…Loss of their dreams, retirement, raising a family, work, and church involvement, etc.”
The third stage is “Bargaining.” “As a way to postpone the inevitable, the patient may ask God for a little more time so for example they can attend their child’s upcoming wedding. They may bargain with God that if they are spared they will do this or that in return. ‘Most bargains are made with God and are usually kept a secret’ or quietly said to a chaplain.”
The fourth stage is “Depression.” “When the patient ‘cannot smile it off anymore’… his numbness or stoicism, his anger and rage will soon be replaced with a sense of great loss… Financial burdens, loss of a job loss of being the breadwinner, child care changes and other things will cause depression to help alleviate ‘some of the unrealistic guilt and shame’…Kuber-Ross talks about the first depression as reactive and the second as preparatory in “taking into account pending losses…In order to facilitate acceptance…the patient should not be encouraged to look at the sunny side of things” at this time.”
The fifth stage is “Acceptance.” Acceptance “is almost void of feelings…The final rest before the long journey…While the dying patient has found some peace and acceptance, his circle of interest diminishes. He (she) wishes to be left alone…The family usually needs more help, understanding, and support than the patient himself…This may be a time for the patient to be in silence, where holding a hand is better than talking.”
They can try until the US Marshal Service sends their people to unceremoniously escort them out of their offices onto the street. Even if the various federal police agencies are full of Republicans (small government, yeah right) they will enforce the law because they don’t want the republic to fall.
You, me, and Lenny agree:

Oh of course it’s a subjective call. Like a lot of subjective things, I think there is value in having a shared viewpoint, which means discussing things. I’d actually be curious to hear a defense of why anyone thinks being elected by a slim majority of votes by percentage and a minority of the voting age population means any kind of “mandate”.
Well duh. I’m not arguing whether Biden won, that should have been plenty clear. My point is about the rhetoric about winning ratios, mandates, and how they relate to how much political capital politicians think that gives them, and how that affects their attitude and agenda.
… or try to.
