Space Cadets not doing bad. Couldn't handle the thin air at $150, but hanging at $141.

Get it? 'Thin air'? For the Rocket Kids? I'm here all week. Tip your servers!

How did EEOC Chair Andrea.Licas get her job? Surely there had to be a more qualified white male to fill the role.

It’s not the billionaires who are taking your jobs, it’s women and POC. It’s not the creepy White Guys like Harvey Weinstein that are raping your women, it’s those POC. It’s not the billionaires inflating prices, it’s thos POC and their lawsuits under tort reform. It’s those POC on welfare that are getting a free handout while they are stealing white people’s jobs at the same time.

Wearily I point out that, as a majority Anglo ancestry country, the majority of people receiving unemployment, AFDC, SSDI, and Medicaid are White people, because the majority of people in this country are White people. The majority of rapes, thefts, and murders are perpetrated by whites, but 90% of the inmates of prisons are POC. (Maybe the criminal justice system discriminates against POC?) Riots over policing violence, like Detroit in 1943 and 1967, LA in 1964 and 1991, Chicago in 1919, Tulsa in 1920, are either because the police forces are all white brutalizing POC, or because white non-police are brutalizing POC. Even Portland in 2019 was majority white “law enforcement” brutalizing young white people over ICE brutalizing POC.

Defund the police means defund all white police forces who treat their badges as hunting licenses to kill POC. Backing the blue means approving of white police forces killing unarmed POC because, as white police, they can. As Mario Puzo observed, lawyers with brief cases can steal ten times more than men with guns, and that means the US needs lawyers with briefcases to catch the white people who are stealing from the lower classes, beginning with the IRS. Guess which law enforcement positions DOGE cut? Democratic liberals and socialists are not “soft on crime”. They just want the biggest criminals, like Donald J Trump, locked up and put away for life.

"The U.S. has long miscalculated due to intelligence failures. Case in point: The war on Iran," the foreign minister wrote.

"Now, an even bigger miscalculation on the Strait of Hormuz. Worse than fake news is fake intelligence. Be careful," he added.

We now have fake news, fake intelligence, AI made up video, pics, stories, what is real?

Did I die 3 years ago and don't know it yet? Dang.

So I should continue to make a point of getting in front of those cares with the "blue lives matter" stickers with my car (which has an "Pro - America Anti - Trump" sticker)? Got it!

I'm not the greatest person. I'm not the worst, either. But at least I'll be able to go to my grave without having worked for a company called "Compliant Technologies".

Sk8erChoi's avatar

It's like a name for a company that makes shock collars for dogs, but gets shut down for gross violations of animal welfare laws. So the company rebrands as a law enforcement service provider.

I went down the rabbit hole of ICE agents being issued gloves that are designed and intended electrically shock people so they can role play the cartoon character Magento. I found the user's guide for the gloves from a company named Compliant Technology in Louisville, LY. Maybe they can go by Mitch McConnell's crib and give him a jolt.

The user's guide is pretty interesting. It clearly states that only one pair shall be deployed at one time on one individual. Given the lack of training, skills and mental health control ICE agents exhibit, this will be royally disregarded. The guide states to not use the device on elderly, small children, pregnant women or severely handicapped persons. In Section 7 titled "Tactical Use of Force" the guide specifically states to not to use the glove on persons who are verbally defiant or belligerent, as a form of punishment, torture, or horseplay.

ICE will kill someone with these gloves.

Warren's avatar

And for the costs of these gloves, law enforcement could learn de-escalation techniques and poor POC could have health care, education, clean water, healthy food, roads without potholes, and jobs that paid a living wage.

SkeptiKC's avatar

More than a single someone, you may be sure of that.

I am consumed with shame in regard to how far this nation has fallen and the of foul, fascist destination the US has deteriorated into with the election of the orange abomination.

Sk8erChoi's avatar

I fear they will even give their own sick name to it, like administering a "high five", and then Trump will crow about how "we love the high fives, don't we. Love 'em" and MAGA will start being extra gross with hat and shirt slogans.

What happens to people with pacemakers or metal replacement joints?

Notorious J.I.M.'s avatar

Internet says passive orthopedic replacement joints aren't directly affected, but severe muscular contractions could put stress on the tissues adjacent. Also the fall risk inherent to being tased. My non-medical guess would be all bets are off where electronics are involved.

They were trying to run ICE over with their wheelchairs.

It was self defense. ICE. was afraid for its life.

Intentionally. In a gang setting. And lie about it, even if there's video. Then they'll go after anyone with their cellphone out.

Meanwhile, one of them will kill or maim themselves, or start their vehicle or clothing on fire, with these gloves. Accidently blow up a canister of teargas inside the vehicle. Something idiotic and irresponsible.

For which they'll also go after a scapegoat and lie about it.

Being a white male is pretty much playing on the Easy Level. Being a MAGA is pretty much playing blindfolded while sobbing that you're a victim. So in a sense I do feel sorry for them.

Fucklardia is defacing the Kennedy Center again.

-----------

The Kennedy Center board is moving once again to put President Donald Trump's name on the side of the performing arts center — defying court orders.

The Trump-loyal board voted Thursday to inscribe "Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump" beneath the venue's main signage — a workaround to a federal law banning new memorials or plaques at the center, The New York Times reported. The move came shortly after the board also voted to move forward with shuttering the main building for two years of renovations, a plan Trump first floated in February, calling the historic venue "tired, broken and dilapidated."

Both moves now face fresh scrutiny from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who already blocked an earlier closure attempt after finding the board's original vote "ill-informed and seemingly preordained." Cooper previously ruled that only Congress has the authority to rename the institution, forcing the center to remove Trump's name from the building in June, though it's currently appealing that decision.

We need to recognize what a Genius Trump really is.

Which reminds me of one of the greatest quotes ever uttered by a US sportscaster, when his colleagues were praising the coach Bill Parcells as a genius,

"Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." - Joe Theismann

Trump be like: "Boy, those grapes sure are sour! Guess I'll have some more."

Why doesn't he just get it over with and take a wrecking ball to the place?

YaJagoff's avatar

The wrecking ball is currently at the White House and won't be available until work there is finished.

I'd be ok with the plaque reading : "Ruined by trump"

I am sick to damned DEATH of indolent, petty, mendacious, vain white males who insist they've been passed over in favor of a fellow of color. The vicious, venomously vindictive perspective that prevails in that context is damned deadly.

The POC have to be overqualified, like Jackie Robinson, just to get a tryout.

One time I worked for an outbound call center. It was no fun but I did ok. One day the owner came in with our last paychecks and told us we were done. It closed. One lady said out loud "Thank Gawd!" My sediments eggzakalee even having to look for another job.

Don't forget talentless and typically under educated for the positions they get. But don't tell them that... they think they're smurt and bryght.

Such employees are as dense as a box of rocks. However, they do serve as entertaining insofar as the substantial extent to which they may be resolutely, mercilessly mocked.

I've been passed over in favor of more experienced and competent people. Does that mean I can apply to the EEOC for my White Man Grievance restitution?

You need documentation, like the video of January 6. They can prove they were discriminated against by Capitol Police.

Every time there is a murder around the City of Buffalo, the resident Buffalo News trolls appear, declaring that "bet he doesn't live in (majority white suburb)." "Wonder what his accent is?" "You always know it's going to be one of them."

When I moved to a mostly white suburb in 1974, a nice white lady neighbor was murdered by her nice white guy husband....with an axe. When I moved to another part of that suburb in 1976., a nice white teenaged girl neighbor was shot in the face by her average white guy boyfriend - on the front porch, while her family was at church. When I moved to yet another majority white neighborhood in '89, a nice old white man who lived down the street was attacked, robbed, and beaten in his home and left to die - by some upstanding white teenaged boys. When I've pointed that out, I'm accused by the trolls and bots, of lying. Because you know, nobody commits crimes except "those" people.

I do not like this time line. I want a different one.

And the POC at Walmart were murdered by a mass shooter who was White. (Aren’t all mass shooters white, except the kid in Uvalde?)

Cheektowaga, 1983:

Michael Dillon was killed on September 23, 1983, at the private residence of former service employee James F. Bradley, located at 250 S Huxley Dr, in Cheektowaga, New York, where he had attempted to collect a sum of $500 on behalf of the IRS. Bradley previously had been adjudicated deficient of $2,500, and had subsequently remitted $2,000 to the IRS. An altercation occurred when Dillon attempted to recover the remaining money owed, during which Bradley shot him three times in rapid succession, with an M-1 rifle at point-blank range, killing him instantaneously.

God bless the Buffalo News. Excellent, old-school newspaper. I used to read it every day.

swmnguy's avatar

When white people do it, there's always a reason.

When "those people" do it, it's because of who they are innately.

Or maybe I have that backwards...

White person = lone wolf

Muslim person = all Muslims

And the bad actions of one of "those people" is always attributed to "those people" as a whole. But we must consider every dumbass white person individually.
