Wow. MAGA is going down HARD.
Another Republican, Congressman Mike Gallagher announced he will resign from Congress on April 19th, screwing his party over and leaving them with a mere one-seat majority without the ability to fill his empty seat until the general election in November.
This on the day Ken Buck left in disgust and outrage over the horrific state of the MAGA party.
Also on the day of another MAGA call to replace the MAGA speaker of the house, throwing the entire house in complete disarray with childish infighting paralyzing the majority because some of them are outraged the majority leader actually led and got a minimal short term spending bill passed…the absolute bare minimum he could do as speaker.
There’s a actual good chance Jeffries could be nominated and voted in as speaker despite being in the minority. 😂

Who’s next? The next one out gets a free hat!

Uh-oh….Jordan and Comer and Grassley and other MAGA traitors are facing conspiracy charges for knowingly using Russian disinformation as the basis for their impeachment fraud, suborning perjury, and maybe acting as unregistered foreign agents.
They wasted tens of millions and paralyzed congress over nonsense they knew was disinformation from the start, which has been corroborated by other Republicans who were there in the room when they were told years ago that he was a Russian agent spreading Russian disinformation designed to hurt America by sewing division and distrust in the government.

It’s blatantly obvious it’s a fraudulent revenge impeachment campaign to retaliate for two proper impeachments of Trump that complicit Senators protected him from despite his undeniable guilt. Obvious to all, even MAGA.

The thing here is if they continue this sham now that their primary and only source has been indicted for lying in this case and being an unregistered Russian agent there’s no more pretending he might be “highly credible”, they will knowingly and publicly be conspiring directly with Russia in a publicly known scheme to weaken America for the benefit of our enemy, not just giving more aid and comfort but actually attacking America in their name, and will be found guilty of treason…so what’s it gonna be, fellas?

Trump brought back firing squads, right? Seems like three candidates stepped forward.

Gym Jordan and MAGA failed a third time to elect a speaker. Gym lost the first, second, and third vote to Hakeem Jeffries. Every vote he lost worse.

MORE evidence that MAGA cannot even work with itself, much less others. You people are just fucking children….and you ARE children.

Good job at being a total laughing stock. If it didn’t paralyze our government, it would be hilarious, instead it’s horrifically bad for our economy, international standing, our allies, and our future.

Oh shit….Judge Engoron is prepared to put Trump in prison for intentionally not complying with the gag order by not removing the post accusing his clerk of having an affair with Chuck Schumer from his campaign website. Ruling later today….gonna be great. Bye Donny.

MAGA spokesman George Santos was just indicted on identity theft, credit card fraud, and stealing political donations because he was caught stealing the identity and credit cards of his donors and making tens of thousands in extra donations to his campaign then transferring that money to his private personal bank account.
He’s also been indicted for forging federal documents pretending he loaned his campaign $500000 (money he didn’t have to loan).
He likes big dicks in his mouth too. He’s also been a drag Queen at multiple public events where children were present, so by your estimation is a groomer.
Republicans aren’t even thinking of expelling him, because ethics, morality, honesty, and legality don’t actually matter one bit to MAGA, only holding power matters.

Republican failure has paralyzed congress and the military. They were fine with that when it benefited Putin and hurt Ukraine (the enemy because they wouldn’t lie about Biden to influence the election), but now don’t know what to do to defend Israel because they’re leaderless and paralyzed and can’t offer help until they get their shit together, which isn’t happening.

Steve Scalise “a more palatable David Duke” in his own words is the Republican nominee for speaker of the house, because racist neo nazism is exactly what MAGA supports. He’s not going to get the votes, he won’t be speaker, but he will get every MAGA vote.

If only I knew how on my iPad. I’ll have to bug my brother, he knows. I’m just glad it actually updated.

Lymphoma…she lasted a full year after diagnosis. 7 years ago she was paralyzed in our back yard, but no matter how many times we asked she refused to say what happened. She never let it get her down, though. She was 13+.

That’s really odd. I still see my old photo. When I tried to update it I got an error message, so I naturally assumed it hadn’t updated since I still see my old photo. I’m glad the new one is showing for others…I can’t imagine why it won’t update for me.

Yes, that was my girl. She was paralyzed from the waist down for the last 7 years, but a total sweetheart and worth the extra work.

Border Collie Disc Caddy

newtboy says...

Absolutely yes.
My lab carried my disks, rags, place markers, and sometimes even my cigars in her backpack until she was paralyzed. She was my caddy.
My Shepherd would only chase the disk and “mark” where it stopped by touching it with his nose, but I never taught him to sit there so you had to watch him closely. He was not a caddy.
I’ve also known people who performed the same duties for friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, even for the “blind” disk golfer I played with a few times (he actually beat me). I’ve seen people tired of playing all day caddy for their friends quite often.
I’ve also seen caddies used in tournaments.
It’s not the norm, but it’s certainly not unheard of by any means.

Edit: is a caddy a prerequisite for it to be “golf”? If so, I guess there are a bunch of municipal bumpy ball whacking fields, but no municipal golf courses?

I will say, I’ve never personally seen electric disk golf carts.

Buttle said:

So you're saying there actually are "disc golf caddies" that carry discs? Because if not, I think that's just a different category, and doesn't necessarily involve any carrying. Except when you give the mulligan signal.

Biden and the June job reports

luxintenebris jokingly says...

So jobs are plentiful...



'Tho to get real for a bit...

California's on fire (Don couldn't even pronounce 'Yosemite'), NATO is prepping for conflict, the US is trying to handicap Russia, SCOTUS is on a political rampage - culling freedoms and national protections, Congress is convincing America it WAS a coup attempt, a Taiwan invasion is palpable and we are coming out from under a pandemic, etc, etc, etc...so people are unhappy?

it's when things are bad we need our best. and your [RE:BK33] choice is no choice - much like SCOTUS. don't believe in cults. nor paralyzing a person's ability to divine reality. no cult of the golden daft. no endless tripe from the right.

McConnell Threatens Scorched Earth GOP Attacks Voting Rights

newtboy says...

What do you think about removing the automatic filibuster and returning to requiring a senator to stand and speak?
I don't think the minority should have the unbridled ability to effortlessly stop debate and voting on any bill they like, no matter which party they belong to, but I have no problem with them actually extending debate so long as they actually debate (or at least speak). Killing bills and debate because supporters don't have a super majority as the norm has paralyzed government and is rapidly getting worse. It makes compromise unnecessary and obstructionism a platform, and that's not working.

Mordhaus said:

Harry Reid nuked the filibuster to approve Federal level justices. McConnell just exploited what the former Majority Leader did.

When under pressure from Republicans and Trump in the first two years of Trump's term to do away with the filibuster and allow the all-Republican government to do what the all Democratic one is hoping to do now, McConnell wisely chose not to.

Whether you care for McConnell or not, or if you care for the minority party or not, doing away with the filibuster to allow the party currently in charge to ram legislation through is only going to set precedent for the same thing to happen when the situation changes.

Democrats may think that forcing through HR1 will mean that the Republicans will never control the government again, but that is not going to happen. Americans are fickle and turn on the government in power at the drop of a hat. Case in point, Trump should have never won a term as President in a normal world. People hated Hillary so much that he did.

Turning the Senate into a smaller House of Representatives relying simply on a majority vote for everything would create situations where either side will ram through sweeping changes (or erase those of the previous side) every 4 years or so. What will we do in 2024 if somehow Trump or his lackeys get elected and he has access to a fully Republican senate, congress, and scotus, with no filibuster unlike 2016-2018?

Girl Surprises Nurse Who Thought She Was Paralyzed

newtboy says...

*Hell no, I've had leg cramps that made me reconsider living. I was paralyzed below the knee for almost a year, the next two years were much worse as the nerves healed.
Totally rational to sacrifice yourself to end one. ;-)

BSR said:

Well, we're out of time here tonight but, don't forget to tune in tomorrow when our guest will be ant. He'll be here to talk about what it's like to dedicate yourself to VideoSift and do the thankless job of combing through each and every video submission and perfecting them by adding the missing channels that so many of us are just too lazy or stupid to do correctly.

Until then this has been another episode of POINT - WHAT'S YOUR POINT with your hosts newtboy and BSR. Goodnight!

*Backstage* Good show newt. I thought for sure you would have said something about the leg cramp.

A Scary Time

scheherazade says...

What sort of evidence?

- Accusation/testimonial evidence?

- Or Physical evidence that is an invariant indicator of rape, that you can hold, see, measure, etc?



Anyone can accuse. That's effortless. Takes barely more energy than breathing.

(It's also effortless for a group of sour girls to gang up on a dude that upset them. Because "f that guy'. (That attitude isn't even rare.))



Physical evidence? People are convicted day in and day out of all sorts of things without physical evidence.

(Court is after all a popularity contest.)




My scary moment was when a cop detained me and told me he was going to charge me with : reckless driving, driving without a seat belt, and with threatening his life.

Why? Because I pulled up to a road block and asked him if I could drive past his road block to go home (which was a short way past the road block)... and he was having some emotional stability/triggering issues at the time, and he instantly turned red and went full on tirade mode.

Fortunately for me, after detaining me a few hours, some switch flipped in his head again and he just went to his car, got in, and drove off. Surreal.

So I asked myself :
If I had been charged, what would be the difference in court, vis-a-vis evidence, between it being a lie, and it being the truth?
Answer : No difference.

All he threatened me with was provable only by his word, and no evidence was required. I likely would have gone to jail, and had my life turned upside down... all on some person's grimace.

My view on evidence changed that day.
I will _NEVER_ convict anyone of anything, without physical tangible evidence that I can hold in my hand and see with my eyes, or at least run forensic tests on.
Testimony doesn't mean _shit_. It's absolutely, patently _worthless_.

(I also now run a dash cam everywhere I drive to protect myself from false accusations)




Basically, unless you have physical proof, I don't care.
Whatever you have to say, prove it.
No proof, no cares.

That goes for all accusations of anything ever. Across the board. Absolute.

It's the standard I want people to have for me, and it's the standard I have for others.

-scheherazade





(Aside, unrelated : I know a dude that was raped by a girl (he was nearly paralyzed drunk at his own house party). Wasn't even a secret. People at the party knew it happened. Nobody cared. When he complained, all anyone said was "Oh whatever. Shut up get over it". It wasn't even a question of 'did it happen?', it was a matter of "so what?".)

ChaosEngine said:

[...]
Finally, where is the abandoning of proof and evidence? Show me someone who has been convicted of sexual assault without any evidence. There's a big difference between accepting an allegation is worth looking into and convicting that person.

If a woman (or a man) comes forward with a claim of sexual assault, they are entitled to be taken seriously. That doesn't mean their alleged assailant is guilty though.
