So Donnie uses AI to compose his social media posts?
I would be surprised if he does not use AI to clean it up sometimes. Why would that be a problem, especially if it is to make it cleaner?

800 convicted murders and CBS thinks that is ok that we keep them in the country. Y'all are insane.

No offense, but many of you folks read the alt right media exclusively. The WSJ published this after Trump threatened to sue them if they did, and after Trump was given an opportunity to comment. The WSJ follows good journalistic practices, and they have good lawyers to run this by. I therefore assume that the source is credible and is backed up by other evidence. This isn’t Jack POS making up silliness about the underage sex slave den in the nonexistent Comet Pizza basement.
I will refrain from the obvious your mama jokes.

You wont believe it. Your subconscious will make some story up. Its a cult bro.
Frankish, WSJ has to this point been the highest level journalist IMO but to print this story without the document is insane. If the evidence exists, then show it, nothing else matters.
To Ned, do you know why CBS regrets showing the letter about GWB being charged by the military?

This would be damning if at all true, can you elaborate?

Anyone who believes the story as likely true without seeing the letter is too gullible to argue with. If they release the letter I will believe it and then try and determine whether it is authentic

I truly believe that the WNBA players would rather keep the league as a money losing organization then find out that the problem all along has been the talent

Whoa….a new MAGA poster with totally predictable responses! Bravo! Did you come up with that all on your own?
Do you have any …you know…examples…?
I have mentioned several of them but I will give one I have likely not mentioned before:
In 2017 the county received a grant to help some of the lowest performing schools. They paid an additional 20k a year to teachers for three years at those schools to help recruitment but then harangued them and told them how to teach. Why would you simply not pick the best teachers and let them do their job? The grant required that the teachers spend so much time on paperwork they couldn't do their job properly. So more money to the teacher, more supervision, but no better results

the DOE solution to failing schools was two things- more money for failing or more oversight, which cost more money. Nothing they ever pushed really mattered and usually was just a box to check.

This might be the most tone deaf post in history. His district is the deadliest in all of Central Florida by a large margin and he is more concerned about a death of someone who is not his constituent, in a non American country. I would hate it if he was mine, and he almost was

This year is my 30th from WNY high School and I have no idea if they even had one. One of my good friends used to be in charge of 10th and 15th but we lost touch years ago when I stopped dealing with Facebook.

I will add one thought of warning, if you move to FL, which has many great attributes, I recommend the ability to have a pool during the summer or mainly travel during the summer. It has been 90+ degrees for like a month straight and even I am going nuts on having to finish my walk by 8 am each day.

WTF are the rest of you allowing to happen to your states?

Similar to claiming anything that doesn’t fit the maga narrative is fake news. Like criticizing the administration for their response to Texas floods as being fake news or playing politics. MAGA is the definition of batting single digits.
We have a president who wants to revoke people’s citizenship for comments he didn’t like. You support this idiot. You shouldn’t be talking about who’s batting in single digits.
I asked you to explain why they weren't liberal and you couldn't do it, just admit they are liberal.

Alligator Auschwitz - $150,000 taxpayer dollars per detainee, per year
SNAP benefits - $2,256 per citizen, per year
Keep reining in that spending!
Did you really just compare one number per citizen of the country and one simply per illegal in one place? Wow talk about proving the point that Dems are gullible. Also how pathetic to compare a group trying to exterminate another for simply existing with us asking people to stop breaking the law and return to the place where they have legal residence. Your lack of intelligence, understanding of history, and basic antisemitism is appalling.

As I have stated the worst parts of Trump is when he is par for the course in regards to issues like this. We know W, Obama, and Biden all have done the same thing so as much as it pisses me off it is not like another politician was gonna do any better unfortunately.

I think anyone who questions the maga narrative is automatically a liberal right? The brain washed can’t even consider anything that doesn’t come from the mouth of their demigod. It’s pretty obvious to everyone not in the cult. You’re either in the cult or liberal thrash. Beyond ***** stupid.If Florida Taxwatch is not liberal, then go to their website and tell me what actions they are promoting that you disagree with? But the concept that it is MAGA or liberal is so mentally stunted, I have stated several times this year I disagree with Trump, you can disagree but when you are batting single digits that makes you liberal.

Hoax. You're lying again. But that's not a surprise.
I did not realize Ms Diestler had that kind of power to manipulate the vote, perhaps you would like to explain it- I will also point out that Homeboy didn't even defend it because it is such an obvious lie.

he studies include US metro areas. I think social scientists have thought more deeply on this subject than you're capable of.
you think simply because it is there job they have thought better about them I have? Understood, which is why you argued that COVID shots for a 5 year old was a good idea.

Science. In this case social science.
Within the criminological literature, there has been considerable research devoted to understanding the relationship between homicide and social protection, both within the United States and utilizing cross-national samples. Despite the measure of social welfare or social protection used, the results have shown a consistent significant negative relationship between social welfare and homicide. Within the United States, for example, the significant negative relationship between social protection and homicide has been found across standard metropolitan statistical areas (DeFronzo, 1983; Messner, 1986), cities (Sampson, 1987), and even a specific city over time (Chamlin et al., 2002). Cross-nationally, the research has found significant negative relationships between social protection and homicide utilizing different measures of welfare spending, including a decommodification index (Messner and Rosenfeld, 2006; Savolainen, 2000), percent GDP spent on health care and education (Pratt and Godsey, 2002), welfare spending (Gartner et al., 1990; Pratt and Godsey, 2002), and the amount of social welfare spent in US dollars for each nation (Savage et al., 2008).
Regarding their study, Rogers and Pridemore conclude that:
One key aspect of social protection is that it is meant to act as a safety net for citizens in times of economic downturn or provide a better living standard for citizens who live below or near the poverty line. Ultimately, the aim of social protection is not to reduce inequality but to address absolute deprivation by raising the standard of living of those who live in poverty to a level that provides the minimum necessities to survive day to day. The moderating effect of social protection found within this paper supports this view. We found that nations with higher levels of social protection not only have lower rates of homicide, but also that the strength of the association between poverty and homicide in these nations is weaker. Therefore,while there are many more direct goals of social protection, one important indirect effect of providing greater social protection is a reduction in violent crime.
i can't tell if you are trolling me with this correlation means causation garbage. Countries that have social protections were already low crime before they gave any protections, the low crime came first before anyone discussed helping them unless you are dumb enough to believe people wanted to pay murderers not to murder and thought it would work. As for the last line, violent people are poor because they poor impulse control, not poor people are violent because they don't have money. Give it some thought and it is obvious, the correlation is there for obvious reasons.

I have about 8-9 years till retirement. I'd like to get an RV and travel the US for a while. Does anyone know someone who did this?
I will make a big recommendation if you are going to buy a large RV based on two separate extended family members who did it. They both customized after the factory with multiple companies working on it for different things. When the problems started each company denied it was there problem, and that someone who touched it after was responsible. Try to make sure it is all one company and they have a good warranty.

We've been over this. Donating to the general fund is a drop in the ocean. Won't make bit of difference especially with this admin. The deficit requires systemic tax and spending reform to make a dent. This admin is taxing less and spending more while worsening the deficit. And no, it's not just "the others" that must pay more. If the recent bill didn't pass, I'd pay more as well. I was firmly against the bill knowing that I'd pay less. That's not totally selfless. I want other Americans to have access too health care and other social programs. That helps me by lowering the crime rate and lessening the risk of communicable diseases, not to mention providing easy access to ERs without waiting hours to be seen.
Cuba was fantastic trip. The Cubans have many serious problems and the gov't is inept partly due to the embargo but also due to their flawed system. It's valuable to me to see a very different culture and the regular people are amazing. Their history is one of massive exploitation which is extremely difficult to emerge from. Many other caribbean islands face the same challenges under democratic govts. Jamaica, for example has massive poverty.. Would you discourage the millions of Americans that go there to abstain? Tourist dollars are a lifeline so tip well if you go.
My golf club is not exclusive. It's accessible financially to a large swath of folks. It costs less than owning and maintaining a pontoon boat. We have members from all walks of life and races unlike the clubs in WNY that had "blackball" policies when I was growing up. I fear we are returning to those bad old days. I still play public courses as I did almost exclusively as a teen. Regular players at those courses can play ours by walking up and paying a greens fee. There are clubs where this isn't so. I'm not a member of those.
So keep believing I'm a limousine liberal. You're incorrect once again. I too want a better America and Im willing to pay what it costs. So is Oprah and she'll pay much more.
meanwhile
I am going to jump on two statements you made that prove you have never had any serious thoughts about the solution- higher taxes mean safer places when all of the high crime areas of the US are high tax places. Secondly the "drop in the ocean" is a start and any idea worth doing needs a starting point, liberalism always seems to have a starting point of everyone having to do it so if it fails they can't be blamed.

My neighbor saw this and asked if this kinda crap was normal in Buffalo and I had to explain that the Buffalo News has about 25k subscribers left and they are all left wing wackos, so their user base loves it but not normal Buffalo people.
Colbert CANCELED!!!
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted
Colbert is being paid 15 million to get 2.5 million viewers, which is not outrageous if they are the "right" viewers, age and demo wise. I can't find it now but at one time the breakdown was Kimmel is the rich, Fallon is the young( my students watch some of his stuff) and Colbert is the geriatrics. His audience is not valuable, especially since Gutfield is drawing a lot more for a lot less money
