Vorticity

It would be great if the media could quit trying to push Newsom down our throats, too. He's not the absolute worst but I don't want him as president. How about we quit calling him the "front runner" until we've seen who else might want the job?

I'll offer one, then. As a Coloradan, I'd vote for Joe Neguse.

I want the democrats to put forward a good slate of candidates, have them discuss issues in a reasonable and informative way, then have us vote on our favorite. There are people whose jobs are to know who would make a good candidate. Most people, myself included, don't have enough information to say who should run. I do think that most people can name a few who they don't want to run and I think Kamala and Hilary are both high on most people's lists.

Someone saying "please don't run Kamala" shouldn't mean they need to offer an alternative. That is the job of the democratic party.

Okay, seriously, can he do one thing that isn't objectively evil?

Edit: Not only was he nominated, he was confirmed in December and is CURRENTLY the US Ambassador to South Africa.

In 1987, Bozell and the NCPAC joined a coalition of groups opposed to the Reagan administration meeting with the president of the African National Congress, the leading anti-apartheid group in South Africa. Bozell wrote that he was "proud to become a member of the Coalition Against ANC Terrorism." In 2013 Bozell complained on Twitter that the mainstream media "mythologizes" the late anti-apartheid leader and first president of a post-apartheid South Africa, Nelson Mandela.[5]

The more I read about this guy, the worse it gets...

That's how I read this, too. The government isn't a monolith that just agrees with every law they have to follow. They do have to follow the law until it is challenged, though. Hopefully courts in KS knock this down.

1. A quick search brings up nothing with ICE and "warheads" so it doesn't appear to be "widely reported". Can you give evidence for your claims?
2. I didn't say that the article is making unsubstantiated claims. I said that you are. The article is substantiated, it just isn't all that surprising that ICE is spending more on weaponry as they hire more agents.
3. The story says nothing about slush funds or anything beyond ICE spending more on weaponry.
4. You are posting in a public forum. That is explicitly asking for conversation and feedback, even if you didn't directly ask me for mine. If you don't want people to respond, don't post.

Raw Story already stretches the truth for clicks. You're here just making completely unsubstantiated claims. They are doing more than enough heinous shit without people mudding the waters with lies.

In response to the article itself, which references a 360% increase in weapons spending, ICE more than doubled the number of agents it employs. I wish they wouldn't, but they seem to think that all of these untrained traitors need weapons. It makes sense that they would have a massive increase in weapons purcheses to outfit the new traitors and the future traitors they're hoping to hire.

This is a non-story for the most part and you don't need to add lies to it.

Norwegians have much easier access to ski resorts than most Americans. In fact, many Americans who want to compete move to places like Colorado and California to have reasonable access. From a quick search, Oslo has similar access to ski resorts as Denver. If I had to guess, though, they're less expensive and more easily accessed by public transit.

Winter sports are also just more popular in Norway. I think this is for pretty obvious climatologial and historic reasons.

I haven't really looked at Facebook in a long time but also haven't deleted my account because I do use Facebook marketplace sometimes.

I just logged in and looked. I actually saw no AI generated content except the few examples that were posted by people I know. I'm sure other's experiences are different, but the algorithm isn't feeding me slop for some reason.

And you think land lords won't pass increased property taxes on to their tenants?

I don't live in NYC so I won't give an opinion on this but landlords won't just eat increased taxes.

I'd be willing to bet that all news that doesn't involve right wing nut jobs screwing up various countries has dropped by 14%.

How have I never heard of this? In the digital age the 4th amendment really means nothing...
