So in regards to the Turtle stuff. If things like that are openly said, that person should be put in review to determine if they're fit to govern anymore.

I can't imagine the founding fathers would want to hear that one side is going to shut it down completely because they're not in control.

Imagine not being able to identify the differences between the 2 political parties in this country, and feeling confident that they’re the same.
Imagine being duped into believing that one political party's lust for power and control is somehow less horrifying than the other political party's lust for power and control because they basically have a marketing campaign of 'We're doing this for your own good...we really just want to help everyone'.

Ok.

So this is really something. I know Manchin isn’t this dumb. He can’t be. He just thinks people in WV are dumb.

:lol: You can't make this **** up. Though, I do look forward to being told about when a Democrat did this last.

The confounding part of this is the FL GOP has spent decades building up the infrastructure to support their voters' access to things like voting by mail and early voting and drop boxes and such. They've had multiple statewide elections in recent years decided by sub-1% margins. So rollbacks like this are more likely to hurt them going forward. All to appease Florida Cheeto-Man.

Arizona Republicans hunt for bamboo-laced China ballots in 2020 ‘audit’ effort
Arizona Republicans are examining whether there is bamboo fiber in ballots that were used in the 2020 election, an activist assisting with the ongoing audit of the ballots told reporters this week. The latest claim underscores how rightwing conspiracy theories continue to fuel doubt about the results of the results.

“There’s accusation that 40,000 ballots were flown in to Arizona and it was stuffed into the box and it came from the south-east part of the world, Asia, and what they’re doing is to find out whether there’s bamboo in the paper,” John Brakey, a longtime election audit advocate, told reporters.

I wonder how that conversation went behind closed doors

"****...we recounted the ballots again and Biden still won"

"****...what do we do now?"

"uh...not sure. maybe we can try to discredit them? who wants Trump to lose..."

"the Chinese?"

"nice. what do they have in china?"

"bamboo! let's see if there's bamboo residue on the ballots!"

I believe the "ballots from East Asia" is a QAnon thing.

Yes, the guy in charge of the 'audit' in Arizona is a known Q kook.

federal district Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that the government must turn over the memorandum, which the public has yet to fully see and that the Justice Department relied upon in declining to prosecute the 45th president.

Not only was Barr being personally “disingenuous” by announcing his decision before the Mueller report was released and pretending he used the report to reach a conclusion instead of simply announcing the one he’d come to before the special counsel’s work had even finished his work, she wrote, “but DOJ has been disingenuous to this Court.”

The Labour Party is absolutely getting flayed alive in the north of England in these local elections.

:face: 6th grade female opens fire in school hallway

https://www.yahoo.com/gma/sixth-grade-g ... 59903.html

Two students and one adult were injured, police said. The adult was treated and released from Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center, while the two students — one girl and one boy — had non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.

Both will remain in the hospital overnight, and may require surgery, hospital officials said at a press conference.

The sixth grader removed a handgun from her backpack and began firing just after 9 a.m., the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said at the press conference. Two people were shot in a school hallway, before she moved outside and another person was shot, the sheriff's office said.

A teacher disarmed the girl and held her until police arrived.

Once its investigation is complete, Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Taylor told reporters his office will be filing "appropriate" charges, possibly including three counts of attempted murder.

A motive for the shooting is still under investigation, authorities said. The sheriff said he did not know where the student obtained the handgun.

"This is the worst nightmare a school district could ever face," Superintendent Chad Martin said at the press conference. "We prepare for it, but we're never truly ready for it."

The school district won't be holding classes on Friday, Martin said, but there will be counselors offering support at the local high school.

A sixth grader at the school, Lucy Long, told Idaho Falls ABC affiliate KIFI she heard pounding on her classroom's door and then two gunshots, followed by screams, running in the hallway and a third gunshot that sounded farther away.

"I was really scared," Lucy told the station. "I almost started crying, but I was trying to help my other friends that were crying feel better."

"We were so worried that someone was going to come in after they were pounding on our door, like they were going to try to get in and hurt us," she said.

Students were moved to a nearby high school following the incident, which was caught on the middle school's security system, the sheriff said.

The name of the student has not been released. The sheriff said she lives in nearby Idaho Falls and attended the middle school in Rigby.

I understand this has basically got to be the case but it's utterly terrifying to read.

I'll never forget when my son came home from Kindergarten one day and said they did The Big Bad Wolf Drill. What's that? It's when a big bad wolf comes into the school and we are the sheep. The teachers are the shepherds and we have to follow them to safety while staying hidden from the wolf.

My heart broke.

The first man, who authorities alleged was Doles, can be seen in the video repeatedly striking the woman in the head with a cinder block, according to authorities, as he holds her down with his body. Another woman from inside the store appears to help the woman on the floor before being overwhelmed by the man.

Video shows the man then hitting the women multiple times in the head with the cinder block before the brutal attack is taken outside the store. He took off from the store but was later arrested, authorities said.
At the end of the article, NBC brings up about a half dozen incidences of anti Asian assaults in the last few months. It's funny how they repeatedly point out that the victims were all Asian, but not that the aggressors in every attack were black men.

If one trend is so important, why isn't the other?

That hasn't stopped them before. In fact, I keep reading stories about how black people and Asian people are united against "white supremacy".

There seems to be a very obvious, long standing trend of racism towards Asians in cities, which has repeatedly manifested itself in assaults on (often) elderly Asian people. If the media is going to constantly focus on race (of both attacker and attacked) they can't suddenly stop talking about it when it doesn't fit the white supremacy narrative.
