He’s a narcissist. He’s afraid of anything that could make him look bad to himself.

Consequences don’t factor into it at all.

Yeah; the lawsuit actually is about discriminatory stops.

There’s plenty of homes being built; the problem is that there are no homes someone making under $120k/year can buy.

Stupid? They’re achieving exactly what they set out to achieve. The fact that they’re doing it while saying illogical things doesn’t change that.

Because people got greedy and felt they could depend on everyone else to keep the safeguards in place, while eroding them for their own unjust gain.

It’s a challenge when even the English words twist the thinking on the topic… “repatriating” makes all sorts of assumptions about what people desire to happen.

And the point here is to flood the space. If everyone is talking about the gossip 100% of the time, nobody has spare cycles to pay attention to what’s actually happening.

That’s partly because unlike Democrats, he’s actually speaking out and taking a contrarian stance on topics.

When he thought he could work with Trump, he went all-in. Now that he realizes that two narcissists will always have conflicting goals, he’s all-in on fighting Trump.

The Democrats, on the other hand, have mostly spent this time saying “let’s discuss working together to come to an agreeable compromise” while doing not much that’s actually useful one way or the other.

Elon may be politically inept and only looking out for his own interests, but he does know how to grab the public’s attention and how to force people to act.

Most Jews want to go to Israel about as much as most Anglo Saxons want to go to the US.

Notice it’s to protect Jewish organizations, not Jewish people.

Apparently it is now antisemitic to speak out against an organization you disagree with, even ones that bear a strong resemblance to what would otherwise be labeled a terrorist organization.

The problem of course is that there ARE antisemites out there mixed in with all the people upset with the US and Israeli governments.

Lesson here: Don’t accept a plea deal if you’re not born in the US to US citizens, unless you’re OK to be deported when your plea deal ends.

So… guy was convicted of distributing prescription drugs, claimed to be not guilty, accepted a plea deal, served his time, got his community service commuted to probation, presumably due to unlikelihood to reoffend, THEN got picked up by ICE to be deported to a country he hasn’t lived in for 34 years, and winds up mysteriously dead in custody.

This is great, but a) it isn’t going to pass, and b) what about cops going under cover and plainclothes officers? So they get a carve out, or are they made illegal?

How about SWAT teams in gas masks? Sheriffs working in dusty areas wearing bandanas? Riot visors?

It was distracting the pedant in me.

Now that that’s over with, let’s have fun and create the reality WE want!

Let MuskCo know that it doesn’t own the narrative. Strathcona is for people, not corporations.

Those dog groomers are so proud of what they do, too.

Do you have any examples of such a thing ever happening? At least in the past 10 years?

How is a tower at Rutherford hill not already a thing? I thought there used to be a lease at the mall decades ago?

How is this different from previously?

Accepting prohibited contributions for the 2022 elections.

Better late than never.

Yeah; two things: one, bears are no big deal if they’re accustomed to humans and humans are accustomed to them. Two, Texadans aren’t accustomed to grizzly bears; grizzlies don’t come to the islands. Since you need to know how to behave around grizzlies for it to be safe to be around them, this could end badly eventually.

On the other hand, a lone male isn’t dangerous like a mother, or a male showing off for another male. He could just decide to live alone and stay away from people where possible. There’s lots to eat around there that doesn’t belong to people.
