I acquired a taste for HP Sauce when I was in the Navy. The first time I went to the Med, the ship bought a big shipment locally (they do that).
I can’t buy it here though; I have to mail-order for it.

re: #304 HappyWarrior
That sounds fake to me.
(in reference to the Supreme Court considering a case to nullify the Presidential election)
I wrote about that yesterday here in the comments.
Three Massachusetts women have filed a case to nullify the election based on the Guarantee Clause of the Constitution (that is, the several states are guaranteed by the Federal government to be protected from foreign invasion). The Court has never heard a case on the Guarantee Clause, and is sometimes interested in novel cases.
They also filed for a Special Master to investigate and present evidence.
The women’s case partially rests on evidence both Austria and Ukraine threw out elections when foreign meddling was shown. The US Supreme Court is obviously not bound to consider evidence from foreign courts, but may do so. The claim is Russia meddled in our election, based on the assessment of intelligence agencies, therefore the government failed in its obligations under the Guarantee Clause and a new election is mandated (in the plaintiffs’ opinions).
That said, even if the court does hear it (they haven’t said whether they would), the case would be a longshot.
Since I wrote that, Snopes has weighed in on the Democratic Underground and other Websites’ claims, noting their claims are a mixture of true and false.
snopes.com
What I wrote up there is true. What is false is just because the case has been distributed to the justices to weigh the merits of hearing the case does not mean the court will hear the case. The overwhelming majority of cases presented to the court die in conference.
The scheduled date for the conference about this case is March 17.

Seniors shocked at being mugshotted (is that a word?) and fingerprinted at the US border:
calgaryherald.com
Calgary seniors Carl and Sandra Hannigan were looking forward to a stress-free flight home after a 10-day visit to Mexico.
But the two said they were stunned when U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials pulled them aside at the Salt Lake City International Airport to fingerprint and photograph them.
The couple were on their way to catch a connecting flight to Calgary on Feb. 13 when what they call the privacy intrusion occurred, a process that took about 10 minutes.
After showing their boarding passes and Canadian passports, “we were told to put our hands on a green scanner, then they took facial photos,” said Carl Hannigan, 75, a Calgary veterinarian.
“It was a little bit unsettling and unnerving … I felt our privacy was invaded.”
Hannigan said he wasn’t about to object to the agents collecting the data, despite his frustration.
“I’m not the kind to zip my lip but I didn’t dare ask him,” said the UK native, who’s been a Canadian citizen since 1973.
“I know how powerful these guys are and I didn’t want to miss our flight.”

The lower court ruled against them. That said, the same day the ruling came out of that court was the day the intelligence services said that our elections were interfered with.
I doubt the Supreme Court will overturn the election myself if they even hear it (less than 1% of cases presented to them are actually argued before the Court), though surprising rulings have come out before.

Even if it went to SCOTUS and they miraculously ruled in its favor, it would create chaos as there is no constitutional provision for a “do ever” election at all. We would have literally no executive branch and any action taken from that point would be viewed as illegitimate by someone or another and it would be in the federal courts forever until the whole shit show collapsed into civil war.
This is a BAD idea all around.

Worked well. No complaints.

I cannot remember when I last had a “steak”, if by that we mean a slab of bovine muscle.
Deep in my mind I seem to harbour memories of eating such things, and not wanting them to be too dry, so I guess I was a “medium-rare” kind of guy.
Also remember I have a relative who used to only eat mean if it was well done - never liked to see pink in the food he was eating. I think he eventually gave up eating meat altogether.

So at some point I will discover how many half marathons are too many to do in a year. Maybe this year. But as I am looking at races, I discover that Matt Inman of The Oatmeal has one that he helps organize/run and this was in the FAQ. I feel the need to share it with you all.
Why didn’t the melons get married?
BECAUSE THEY CANTALOUPE.
You’re welcome. (Race is in Seattle.)

Fat chance. Cory Gardner is a weasel Republican stool pigeon in the mold of Paul Ryan. He’s an enormously unprincipled human.
This thread on the short-sightedness of cutting the Department of State budget to increase the Department of Defense budget:

I replace mayonnaise in most salads like that with Greek yogurt. Tastes even better, cuts the calories way back and zeroes the fat while adding protein.
I still add a dash of mayo, but just a tablespoon or so

If they take 30% of the State Department budget, they might be able to buy like a whole ten tanks?

This is amusing. Nutjob Watson contributed $2K to a journalist’s fact-finding trip to the wasteland that is Malmö, Sweden, probably expecting a big exposé of the raving hordes of dangerous immigrants terrorizing the locals. Instead, the journo found Malmö is kinda boring.
So does PJW get to ask for his money back or how does this work? 💀 pic.twitter.com/MQMijHXklW
No offense to Malmö-ians. Tack tack.
And for no apparent reason, my laptop’s touchpad has just decided to stop working.

Yup, and they are at risk of overplaying their hands on all of those issues. “Quickly” and “secretly” seem to be big problems, especially for the ACA, and if the public education issue gets as much attention, it will be an even bigger problem.
All of the Republican voters I know (Trump-sympathetic or no) love the public education system. Granted, I live in a blue state with a top-notch school system, but I have a feeling this would cause an even bigger backlash at town hall meetings, etc.

BREAKING: Trump will release budget that will increase defense spending by $54 billion- White House budget official pic.twitter.com/jbPyXuFDBp
— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) February 27, 2017
Trump wants to make a historic hike in defense spending.
Historic compared to ~what~? Larger than the increases during WWII? Korea? Vietnam? Iraq/Afghanistan? Or Reagan’s buildup? Or just BS @AFP
— lawhawk (@lawhawk) February 27, 2017
Historic how? Trump loves to talk in superlatives and empty platitudes, but laws and budgets require precise language.
So, what is this historic increase he’s calling for? Larger than the hikes in spending during WWII? Korea? Vietnam? Afghanistan/Iraq? Or Reagan’s defense push in the early 1980s?
Reality is that the US defense budget has been between 3-5% of GDP since the 1990s. Where is that additional spending going to go? You can almost bet it wont go for higher wages to the service members. That’s one of the reasons that the Pentagon has pushed for more automation on ships, more technology across all the branches, because people are expensive - training, logistics, etc. So that a new Ford class carrier can do as much as a Nimitz class with a fraction of the manpower. It’s estimated that the Ford class can have a 25% improvement over the Nimitz class in sortie rate, with 25% fewer personnel. Doing more with less - but that costs more in tech.
The new Zumwalt destroyer costs $1 billion, but has fewer people on board.
Everywhere you look, equipment costs keep rising, but the manpower behind them are being reduced because of costs.
So, what is Trump going to buy? More F-35s? Or pushing the F-18 on to the branches that don’t want them? Demanding that the Army buy more tanks it doesn’t need? Artillery it can’t use?
These are the brass tacks that he doesn’t care about.
But gutting the EPA? That’s a GOP wet dream - and even if you eliminate the agency entirely, it’d barely buy a single Ford class carrier - $8.2 billion versus $10+ billion for a Ford class carrier. Zumwalt destroyers are running about a billion a copy. B-2 bombers? Those are $2 billion.
Get rid of NEA? That’s $146 million in the most recent year. That doesn’t even buy you a single F-35.
Everywhere you look, the GOP is getting out the knives to slash and burn the safety net, which further burdens those who can’t afford them to build up a military that already is more than sufficient for our purposes - the ability to fight two wars simultaneously, not counting our nuclear option.
But even more basic than this is that our enemies/rivals aren’t going to fight us strength against strength. They know asymmetrical warfare works. That’s how a guy with an IED can blow up key American assets for a fraction of the cost of a single bombing sortie (not even the aircraft, just the cost to fly the mission).

Not much - the military simply can’t grow that fast in a single year. It takes time to train personnel, unless you loosen the physical/academic requirements, which the DoD doesn’t want to do.
You can’t simply wave your fingers and magically increase the number of ships built or tanks purchased or planes ordered. Those require lead times too. And if you’re ordering new stuff from scratch, that timeframe is years, not a single fiscal year. That includes UAVs that were rushed into service after 9/11.

450 churches prepare to act as Trump-era ‘underground railroad’ for undocumented immigrants
And how many of these churches have Middle Eastern congregations that will help undocumented immigrants? Unfortunately, you won’t see a single Assyrian, Chaldean, or Maronite Catholic Church in this country that will assist with undocumented immigrants. Ironic because many of their own churchgoers benefited from these programs but refuse to extend their support to others suffering the same hardship.

The Trump Administration? Quite a while I think: at least until the “threats” move past the phone calls, and/or cemetery vandalism, and some synagogue or JCC actually does get bombed. Until then, I’m sure the Official Administration Response is probably just going be boilerplate denunciations of antisemitism, and blather about Israel. With, possibly, butthurt Tweets from our Idiot-In-Chief griping about charges of prejudice, and deflective BS about his son-in-law.

They could have made their mark almost 3 years ago when he had so many kids from El Salvador and Guatamela making the trek up north to cross the American border…only to be turned back.
If you see how many of them blindly support Trump (metro Detroit, San Diego, Chicago, etc.) even though his policies has affected them, you’ll see where I’m getting at. Some of them are so desperate to curry support with the white Republican majority that they will spew the usual right-wing talking points in the meantime as well.

Are Retiring Port Authority Cops Gaming The System To Increase Pensions? https://t.co/GgbDsvJEtB pic.twitter.com/1ez2JV33l3
— The Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) February 27, 2017
Reality is that the Port Authority is where cops from all over NYC metro area love to join because the pay is so much higher, and they can compound their pensions. This is one of the reasons that the Port Authority has such high security costs. The PANYNJ would best be served if the NYPD took over all security at NYC airports and worked out a service agreement on all the cross-border bridges and tunnels (share coverage/security with localities on the NJ side) and phase out the PAPD entirely.
NYC did something similar years back where there were separate Housing Cops and School cops - both those forces were rolled into the NYPD eventually. This would result in a significant cost savings for everyone.
In fact eliminating PAPD would improve security - it would eliminate the BS overlap especially around the WTC and other PAPD facilities because of turf battles. It would also improve response times to accidents/issues at GWB under the apartments.
But it is rather rich that one of the right wing mouthpieces that loves to talk about how they’re for law enforcement, security and all that, will go after those cops and firefighters if they’re protected by union contracts that negotiated favorable benefits.

re: #323 Timothy Watson
And Bush seemed to get along with the Obamas fabulously.
After the Bush/Gore mess and the transition being notoriously bad, Bush wanted to make sure that his successor was treated so much better - they made sure to set up a transition that would make it as smooth as possible. Obama thought so highly of the Bush transition to Obama that Obama set up a similar transition, but Trump ignored all of it - ignored the transition, ignored the work that goes into setting up a new government, ignored that he’s got nearly 2,000 positions to nominate and get confirmed.
All of it. It’s a fucking shit show because of Trump, and Bush knows it. He knows how damaging this is to US national security. Trump doesn’t care - he’s too busy claiming that he’s going to massively build up the military, ignoring how any of that is actually done.

re: #195 A wild WITHAK appeared!
Yup, and they are at risk of overplaying their hands on all of those issues. “Quickly” and “secretly” seem to be big problems, especially for the ACA, and if the public education issue gets as much attention, it will be an even bigger problem.
They did such a good job of pawning Trump off on the American people, they assume they can continue in that vein with anything they want to sell us.

Trump is doing it for show. His knowledge about any subject is so shallow, he figures a lot of money and his superior intellect is all that’s necessary.
Gutting State while leaving many State posts vacant will make it far easier for foreign parties to fuck us up. Maybe he wants that, so he can send in his huge military and start a war and show everyone who’s boss.

Now Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer would accuse Bush of being too pro-Muslim.
re: #348 The Vicious Babushka
That’s my in-law’s JCC on Staten Island.
Police are responding to a bomb threat made against the JCC on Staten Island, a spokeswoman for the organization confirmed.
A bomb threat was called into the JCC on Manor Road in Sea View between about 9:30 and 9:45 a.m. on Monday morning, confirmed JCC spokeswoman Ruth Lasser.
The JCC in Sea View has been evacuated and the other JCCs in Arden Heights and Tompkinsville are sheltering in place while police investigate, Lasser said.
Bomb threats have reportedly been made against JCCs in other parts of the country on Monday.
These ongoing and incessant bomb threats greatly increase the security costs to these facilities. It’s one of the higher costs at our shul, and it requires constant vigilance, especially during the High Holy Days and when we have special guests come as speakers from say the Israeli Consulate.
It’s bugnuts insane, but all these costs can put a serious strain on budgets of these Jewish institutions - and could lead to their closures down the line.

It’s possible. It also increases the costs to local law enforcement - as deploying the bomb squads and emergency response is quite expensive and gets passed on to the local community in the form of higher taxes or service cuts elsewhere.

I’m thinking whoever called in that threat to the JCC on Staten Island may have made a big mistake: the NYPD is one of the few police agencies in this country with the resources and experience to efficiently investigate these sort of “threats” and find and arrest the perps. Sadly, threat-call vandalism, if done right, is damn difficult to track down, and is a low priority for most LE departments (usually regarded, until/unless something bad actually happens as a variety of “prank”) but the NYPD is an exception to the rule.
Of course, the bomb-threatener is most likely some asshole HS kid, calling in from his parent’s basement, but you can;t be too careful…..

And although—Unlike Roof, McDowell had compiled a lengthy criminal record before he was apprehended, with his first arrest occurring 11 years ago on a charge of simple assault.

wiki page says that it was badly damaged in the pogrom in 1938 but was the only synagogue in town that remained standing, although no longer used as a synagogue.
It even survived the bombings. It was restored in 1950 and then fully renovated to its original state between 1989 -1994

“Asked about Trump’s claim that the media is the “enemy of the people,” Bush warned that an independent press is essential to democracy and that denouncing the press at home makes it difficult for the United States to preach democratic values abroad.
“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,” Bush said. “We need an independent media to hold people like me to account.
“Power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive and it’s important for the media to call to account people who abuse power, whether it be here or elsewhere,” he added.”

Good thing I don’t generalize all of Christianity like she does with Islam. At least I’m able to acknowledge the fact that Christianity is NOT a monolithic bloc and that it too has liberal movements in addition to conservative movements. Islam is no different in that respect either.
