The lengths to which these guys are protesting gives hope that there really will be something to come of all this.

An equally annoying aspect of the coverage is that if you even ask for clarifications or seeing the underlying studies you are "anti-science." Would this walk back have ever occurred had the Big 11 not been shamed into finally starting their season?

The story was it was her mom that listened to the show. Maybe it evolved into her dad. Heard that story several years back.

Would REALLY like to hear the rationale behind that decision. Because if it's what is expected - the district superintendent is a world class Karen, it would be fun to hear her expose herself for being dumber than a post by penalizing the students because their parents aren't living life the way she wants them to do so; and if it isn't that, am expecting the answer will be entertaining in a really unfortunate way. Either way, wtf?

Would rather have the DA beholden to the populace rather than the Governor or the County Executive. (Even with your concern about conviction rate.)

My preference is for as little regulation as possible of the internet, regardless of the party in charge of the legislative &/or executive branch. But, when a platform injects itself in politics, unless it sets TOS very clearly in a neutral way AND enforces them likewise, they are acting as publishers & should be treated accordingly. So, they can do 1 or 2 things to stay out of court: 1. stay above the fray & treat all the political content in a similar manner (only removing/filtering it if it is obscene or if it violates copyright/other laws); or 2. carry water for their preferred politics & watch to make sure none of the billions of items on their site end up containing libelous material. Suppose they could do both. But seems from this vantage point that #1 is a lot easier & cheaper than #2. And it SEEMS that Twitter definitely and Facebook (which yours truly avoids like the plague) to a lesser extent are curating their content when it comes to politics. If they in fact are; then it won't be long until somebody reins them in &, again IMHO, everybody loses.

But the issue isn't whether the government is going to tell them what to publish; they aren't. The issue is whether the government should treat them like an ISP which generally receives immunity from libel actions due to the content of their subscribers or if the government should treat them like a publisher with editorial oversight of what gets published on their platform and therefore be liable to libel suits. They've enjoyed, and IMHO deserved, status as an ISP with the commensurate general immunity from libel. But recently, there has been a decided appearance of acting in the role of editor/publisher. Should that continue, then they absolutely should face the same scrutiny CNN or the WaPo or the Daily Caller recieve. And should a citizen be libelled, they should face the consequences if they continue to act like the WaPo or other publishers. They shouldn't get the benefits both ways. Jack Dorsey & his buddies are going to goad either the FCC or Congress (maybe both) into clarifying the status of Twitter, Facebook, Parler, & the like; and everybody will likely lose but the playing field will be leveled again.

That's because government doesn't have enough responsibility for the day to day lives of ordinary people. If we just gave it a LITTLE more control, certainly the bad apples will go away rather than get swept higher & everything will be dreamy. BTTOP, surprised misconduct is only involved in a bit over 1/2 of wrongful convictions; would've guessed a bit higher on that. With only 2,400 cases total (that are known) would've expected more like 75-80%.

Yeah, well, there's that.

But babies/infants that haven't yet had vaccinations have the lowest mortality rates of all from this virus. They are extremely vulnerable to other viruses, but not this one. A very good question is: why?

Really wish he wouldn't be talking about these additional peace deals until they've actually been hammered out. Still expect to see them happen, but if they don't (and especially if KSA doesn't happen); he now gives his detractors a win when they shouldn't have gotten anything as status quo should be neutral.

16 candles down the drain ...

Guess not.

This certainly seems to be the case.

I realize there won't be people from out of town like Rich up for the game, but was wondering if anybody was planning on heading over to Nick's today. Bueller, Bueller, anyone?

Where in the world did they get the idea that stuff like this HELPS Biden?

Hedge already proved you wrong, and you've already proved yourself vile w/ the original discussion. That you have a poor memory & don't know how to navigate a search is not OUR problem.

That IS your original post. You followed up with several that didn't make yourself look any better IMHO, which may be what you're thinking of. But that post absolutely IS your and it was NOT edited, so it is the original that you posted. So, are you lying about that not being your post or is there a reason you seem as confused as Joe Biden on one of his better days? Hoping you are well.

Umm, if you follow the link back to YOUR post that Hedge provided, you will see that post was never edited. BUT, maybe there's a software glitch on this board causing vile posts to self edit themselves and not appear to have been edited. Might want to talk to a lawyer about that; could be mondo-lucrative as this must be happening on all message boards using that same software. You go, Jack.

Dayum, seems like the former SCO has a serious class action suit against Apple brewing. If the software is so suspect as to cause that many phones from a single office to self-wipe, this must have happened to millions of other I-phone users. Might want to sell your Apple stock now before the stock crashes after the suit is filed. Maybe Section 8 could offer his services to them. He might even get to sit 2nd Chair on this one if he plays his cards right. Cool beans.

Says the guy who openly admits to wanting this place razed. Obviously, that isn't quite the full story or DR wouldn't have been banned for a month earlier this summer.

Hedge- thanks for tracking it down.

Not what was said. But your response which intentionally removes any nuance from a position you disagree with is your standard MO. Really don't have the time nor inclination to continue playing your petty games.

And which is more likely: a guy that can't stand 45 knowing a negative story about him is false keeping his mouth shut allowing the story to fester and therefore hurt 45 in the eyes of low capacity for logic voters; or a guy that can't stand 45 knowing a negative story about him is true keeping his mouth shut preventing the story from gaining momentum and therefore hurting 45 moreso? Why ever might General Kelly want to sit this one out? Hmmmm...

If your campaign strategy is to "ballot harvest" via mail in ballots enough votes in swing states to sneak out the win, why waste money on campaign offices that could be better spent on lawyers? Just need to make sure the postmarks are correct. Don't need a bunch of actual satellite offices to make that happen.
