Some info about why....

Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, was intentionally snubbed by a pallbearer, Bobby Rankin, at the late congressman Elijah Cummings' memorial service at the Capitol on Thursday. The pallbearer walked down the line of attendees and shook hands with the House minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, and the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, before walking past McConnell to hug the House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi.
Mr Rankin explained that his brother, who died exactly one year before the memorial service, like numerous servicemen contracted multiple cancers directly linked to drinking (well documented) contaminated water while he was stationed at camp Lejeune, and was denied his military benefits thanks in large part to McConnell personally blocking legislation Cummings had produced with bipartisan support that would have given those poisoned by the military's negligence during their military service the benefits they earned and were promised, and he could not shake hands with a "person" (and I use that term loosely) who would throw injured servicemen into a ditch after stealing their benefits.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Keep chanting that to yourself. Maybe you'll believe it, no one else does.

President's personal attorneys aren't involved in foreign affairs that are above board....ever.
Unclassified transcripts aren't hidden in servers intended for top secret CIA info if there's nothing to hide.
Trump admitted on TV that he asked a foreign president to investigate his political rival. Collusion.
Breaking the law to hide the whistleblower report doesn't happen if there's nothing to hide.

Trump's about to be a chicken dinner. Edit: Sounds like around 30 Republican senators think it's unacceptable. 8-10 more than needed if they vote for America and not Trump.

I hope you're ready for crazy Biden to loose his mind and break the law daily, and for Democrats to completely ignore it and laugh at you for being bothered because they run both houses. Trump may have just handed him the election, and the Senate seems poised to go down with him by turning a blind eye. The public is not on your side.

Also: A cloak!

A cloak!

One loose thread and those wheels would eat him.

Yet not 1 racist statement from Trump 3 years and county.

Also all Conservatives are Russian asset racists.

Only the left can invent / push this bullshit.

Democrats are going to loose big time in 2020.

Not racist. Just left and MSM loosing their shit because Trump said what others have said.

Orange man Good.

Kurzgesagt has a history of taking something overly complicated and simplifying it to the point where it looses it's meaning and slips into fantasy-land. With this video, it bridges too many concepts and strings them together, until it becomes unsure what the actual path is.

It does handle a more complex occurrence, so It tries, but it loses it's momentum as it gets going because it consists of too many gaps in facts to complete a proper narrative.

From what I have been told many of the smaller county's budgets are directly tied to arrest and conviction statistics.

This creates a multitude of problems.
Officers literally have to score X convictions or their buddy might "loose his job".
Similarily, the only way out of traffic duty up the career ladder might be a high conviction rate.
The sick thing is that this just the tip of the iceberg. AFAIK departments have been doctoring their statistics for so long it has widely become accepted that you literally go "fishing" once the next review period comes up (usually its more like speeding/broken tail lights, etc) and is widely viewed as common practice.
However after 9/11 a lot of departments have inflated their expenses with more equipment/personel (go look how many redneck county police deparments have their own Special Tactics Squads...) - combine that with poor budgeting and you can see where this goes...
Not all the blame can be put on the police though - a lot of it comes down to the way the review process works (i.e. convictions vs crimes prevented - go figure which is the easier statistic to use/present).
This problem really isn't new unfortunately.

I found this interesting.


loosely related is the evil side of patent Trolls.

Um? What about driving through water? Snow? Loose gravel? I have to imagine that they are going to pick up and potentially throw loose material in odd ways. I am all for the airless tires but I am pretty sure they haven't engineered a way to avoid the need for sidewalls.

Funny Sore looses still fighting the loss.

ZERO ZIP NADDA DICK

Hillery Clinton paid Glen Simpson of Fusion GPS / who went to ( Trump hater) Christopher Steele, an X British intelligence officer with MI6 who contacted high level Russians for information. .. Trump is theorizing but Hillary actually did get dirt from Russia. She ended up with a fake report, gave it to top FBI, (also hated trump) who knew it was all false information and used it to open FISA warrants to spy on Trump and Co. Warrants were renewed 3 times, all on un verified information.

But Trump is the bad guy ... Suck eggs

I did not write the title -- still not lies.
Kid say kicked out for gender questioning. Teacher indicates kicked out for being disruptive.

Its the kids video - he get to title it.


On big issues like this ( ie debating on school lunch) , if one believes that school policy is wrong , is not acceptable to speak up?

Granted a better forum would be a school board meeting.

Bottom line the teacher is afraid of loosing his job and hence pushes the position of national policy.

Dishonest about what????????? I just presented an video of disagreement of thought. - I did not take any sides yet you say I'm dishonest.


The kid spoke up in opposition to what the teacher said that is not necessary disruptive. Kid got kicked out for having a different opinion and would not accept that of the teacher.

All in all that is not the issue. It is that is there only 2 sexes or more?

Regardless of what the teacher actually thinks on this matter the teacher is boxed in to accept the policy of his employer/ system. He can't speak against this policy for fear of loosing his job or getting in trouble.

The kid is free to think and express his thoughts.


Defying school policy, -- So its not right to defy school policy, or policy for that matter. Don't challenge? You don't want a world that does not challenge thought, do you?

Thanks for the promote
Those ramps are supposed to be designed with loose rocks in specific sizes. I've seen a few instances where they had to crane the trucks out, they were buried to the axles. It's not just the upward ramp, but the gravel that stops and holds the trucks.
