John Steigerwald has been saying stupid things for far too long. He also retweets Babylon Bee.

I think what puzzles me most about Steigerwald is that he has such a happy blocking finger. He is clearly going out of his way to have the most antagonistic take on something to get attention. So, you should revel in all the triggered reply guys. The only other option is that he's another precious dumb guy like Trump Jr, because he might actually believe the things that he says.

More politicization at DHS:

The Department of Homeland Security has declined to publish a July 9 intelligence document that warns of Russian attempts to denigrate Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s mental health, prompting new scrutiny of political influence at the department.

The intelligence bulletin, titled “Russia Likely to Denigrate Health of U.S. Candidates to Influence 2020 Election,” was drafted to inform state and local law enforcement officials that Russian state media agencies were posting “allegations about the poor mental health of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden,” ABC News first reported on Wednesday.

But before the bulletin was distributed, senior Homeland Security officials intervened to halt publication, department officials confirmed.

Serious question that I honestly don't know the answer to:

Has the DHS or the Homeland Security act been effective in stopping terrorism?

The only way we'd definitively ever know the answer to that is if the answer was "no." Thankfully that's not the case

Good point.

Saw some kids at our local McDonalds yesterday doing the same.

These are real life issues. I wish the conversation was more about this than questionable haircuts and/or spelling problems.

And I dont just mean ITT

It poses quite a dilemma. I think there is cross-partisan agreement on the importance to opening school for in-person learning (I think we arrive at that conclusion for different reasons). I think we just disagree as to what role the federal government would play versus purely localized responses. And I think that debate has been had here, with mostly respectful disagreements.

PPS is working with Comcast to get free internet into homes for those that need it for virtual learning. It's a step at least.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here

[NailedPenguin]

It's not deep. You can figure it out.

Can't socially distance celebrate the American Labor Movement.

[nocera]

You're going to have to explain what you're trying to say.

[mikey]

Uh oh, all hands on deck! *siren*

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

this is why Pelosi not taking responsibility for what she did is frustrating.

you KNOW the president and his team are gonna be f*ckfaces about it. Blaming it on the salon just gives him more ammunition to be a petty sh*thead and keeps this dumb story alive

[NailedPenguin]

Covid rules have gone out the window all summer for this exact same incident. It was a dumb tongue in cheek remark just to take a jab at some of you here.

Is it out of bounds now to point out incidents where people who aren't black end up facing the same consequence for an almost identical scenario? Or is the eyes close, finger in ears approach still preferred?

I mean, that's what I thought I just wanted to double check before I called that one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on here. There have been a lot of dumb posts (I'm responsible for many) but that one takes the cake. Congrats.

[NailedPenguin]

Oh well.

Just say white lives matter and be done with it.
