re: #1 Backwoods_Sleuth

You know things are really fucked up when even a disaster relief bill can’t make it through.

Is it enough to say at this point that the United States no longer has a functioning federal government?

Weather update:

Tornado watches are up from western NJ all the way to Ohio. Severe t-storm watches and warnings run from the NYC metro area all the way back to Missouri.

That’s a day after destructive storms tore through parts of Ohio. The ongoing tornado outbreak that started 10 days ago has had more than 170 confirmed tornadoes. We’re on a record stretch where tornadoes have struck for 11 consecutive days.

The GOP spent months blocking Sandy aid.

The GOP spent years denying funding for the Zadroga 9/11 first responders fund. They still look to diminish that fund.

The GOP don’t care about functioning government. They want to strip its parts and abscond with the profits.

re: #22 Dr Lizardo

Agreed. It’s chilling… and the dosimeters clicking away and ramping up as they got close to hot spots is terrifying in a way few people really understand.

Everything those people touched or used in cleaning off the roofs became so irradiated that it was all single use. The robots failed because of the radiation hazards.

And that’s still the way we deal with radiation hazards, even at Fukushima or Three Mile Island. Robots and remote sensing only works to a certain point, but after that, the radiation hazard fries the electronics. Then it’s up to men to go into the breach.

She doesn’t do straight reporting.

She’s an access journalist whose entire premise is that she’ll report what X says about Y, so long as she continues to get access. She therefore gets used by X to further X’s agenda, and that has nothing to do with reporting, journalism, or facts.

To report the news means when X says something, and you know it is untrue, a lie - you say as much.

But that’s the rub. If she calls out X for the lie, she loses access.

So she continues to act as though this is all normal and people defend her writing as something we should accept, when nothing about this situation is acceptable.

- it’s called a budget.
- a budget is a guide or an estimate
- unplanned, unpredicted variations occur with every budget (else they’d be planned and predicted)

So now the record flooding and heat wave are about to continue with the severe storms all across the Midwest, East Coast, and South. This fucknut will demand only aid when his own district is affected? Count on it.

We know that this disaster bill would have passed by voice vote because there was asset from Congress to get the aid to those in need.

He thinks he’s being fiscally responsible? Hardly. Delaying the disaster response is highly irresponsible because the aid helps the most when it comes directly and quickly.

I would be shocked if Massie did that because he absolutely despises government assistance in ANY form. Refusing disaster assistance is one of his original campaign promises and one he kept as Lewis County Judge Executive.

re: #30 lawhawk

She doesn’t do straight reporting. (snip)

Below is a comment I posted in July, 2018. My opinion has not changed (and Maggie is still writing the same kind of crap.) I will say, I find it “interesting” how Maggie hypes most NYT stories, often tweeting up to 10 or 12 times a day, but she didn’t post one tweet promoting her latest Hopey hagiography.

It’s Saturday, so it’s time for a puff piece about Ivanka and Jared. This one is especially nauseating—including things like:

They live in a rented mansion in the Kalorama neighborhood, where they have courted groups of lawmakers and Washington hands in an effort to ease hyperpartisan tensions over cocktails and comfort food.

Ah, how homey—cocktails and comfort food (surprised there isn’t a photo of one of Vanky’s centerpieces.)

And this bit of fanciful exploration:

Mr. Kushner appears to see himself as the custodian of Mr. Trump’s political brand, offering his father-in-law “options,” and has spoken about clearing out the Republican Party of lingering resistance. He has privately said that he has been taking action against “incompetence” and that any tensions are a result of fighting for his father-in-law’s best interests.

Pretty funny that Jared is taking action against incompetence. Look in the mirror, boyo. Of course, the only confirmation of this comes through a Jared spokesperson, because Jared and Vanky were just too busy to comment for this article.

Then there’s a list of all of Javanka’s enemies within, followed by this tremendous insight:

Both husband and wife, like Mr. Trump, are said to hang on to grudges, but Mr. Kushner is far more transactional than his wife. Like his father-in-law, he appears to convince himself that fights did not happen if someone has become useful to him.

And the capper is the final line, about what Vanky really brings to the party, talking about her fabulous work with Susan Collins:

And so Ms. Trump has delivered one of the few things she can uniquely accomplish in Washington: Riding in a car together one day, she handed Ms. Collins a phone. The president was on the line.

I know there was discussion earlier about how terrible is that some of us “hate on” Maggie Haberman and how it’s misogynistic. I dislike her and much of her reporting for the following reasons:

1. She writes like a gossip columnist—usually much more taken with palace intrigue than actual news.
2. She regularly writes fluffers about Jared and Ivanka—with little value, little fact. (She’s tweeted about this story 6 times so far today.)
3. Any time she’s called out for anything, she is totally defensive, snotty and condescending.
4. I’ve seen, first-hand, how she can take a 20-minute interview and turn it into a 3-word quote that is the opposite of what was said, but fits her pre-conceived frame for an article.

I’d argue the reason she does the palace intrigue bit…is because that’s all she really has. Even when she does something “critical” of Trump, she generally damns him with faint praise. She will do nothing to endanger what she views as a unique relationship, a seat at the table when most of her colleagues can’t even get in the front door. The term for that is not “journalist,” it’s “publicist.”

Good luck. I’ve had that happen before (with individual credit cards though, not the entire wallet) and it is such a sinking feeling. Last time it happened, I felt positive panic until I finally short-circuited my brain by forcing myself to cancel the card. Turned out to be the right choice.

That happened to me a couple weeks ago. I ended up going to the bank and cancelling a couple cards that were irrelevant but did not want to change anything that I actually used. My sister and BIL searched through my home — and my sister discovered my wallet in the wrong pocket of my purse — I had searched through it but had overlooked this part that I never used.

It is so weird to have a senator that can be quoted with pride:

Lawmakers change Trump tax law that hit Gold Star families with ‘kiddie tax’

The federal government “is trying to save a few bucks by ripping off” military families, Sen. Doug Jones, D-Ala., said.

The fight against another survivors rip-off is continuing.

General Motors, America’s largest automaker, and Bechtel, the country’s largest construction company, are teaming up to build thousands of electric vehicle fast-charging stations across the United States.

Chevy Bolt owner here. This can’t come soon enough. You can even make the argument they should have had plans in place when they initially rolled out the Bolt.

The funny thing about the arguments people used to - and still do - make against electric cars is that they’re rooted in the idea that a cutting edge technology will not advance, like the idea that you’d have to stop overnight every 200 miles.

Yeah, I’m getting sick of these Philly-area tornado warnings/watches. The last tornado I remember hitting Philly was one in 1989 or 1990 that touched down in Society Hill, travelled across the river under the Ben Franklin and then petered out in Camden.

Currently pouring like crazy here.

My wife and I are in Rochester, NY for the night, after leaving Chicopee this morning.

We had the opportunity to meet LGF denizen Ipsos and his wife this afternoon. They kindly took us out to dinner here.

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed their company.

So chalking up people I’ve met in real life from the Internet, my list is growing: first my wife (who I married after I met her), then Cheechako from LGF in Alaska, then folks from Wonkette on our way to Massachusetts, now Ipsos.

All these people who live in my computer are real people. Who knew?

re: #31 DangerMan

if unplanned disaster relief is ‘unbudgeted’ wtf is stealing funds to build that wall?

ps
- it’s called a budget.
- a budget is a guide or an estimate
- unplanned, unpredicted variations occur with every budget (else they’d be planned and predicted)
- that’s why you compare actual to budgetary amounts. to analyze and explain the differences

pps
if congress votes to allocate the money, then it *is* budgeted.

dumbass

This is simple enough we could figure out unplanned spending on a village board in a town of 128 people.

Massie is lying, hoping his voters will believe him.

If money is really the problem, they could claw back some of that tax cut for billionaires.

You’d think that the “take us back to 1850” people would approve of that. Back then the stagecoach only moved you about at an average of 8mph or so.
