With the 2020 election fast approaching, President Trump has launched a new initiative to reach out to African-American voters. Real News Tonight’s Jim Anchorton hits the streets of New York City to see how the President’s message is being received. #Colbert #LSSC #Comedy
1. Find black dude.
2. Pay him a few hundred bucks to stand at your rally and hold a sign.
3. Use this to pretend you’re not a racist dick.
The UK has one last chance to save itself, if a coalition of parties supporting a referendum on Brexit can form a majority after the upcoming election. uk.news.yahoo.com
Trump is going to lose the African-American vote overwhelmingly, of course. But if Trump can convince a sliver of African-American men that he deserves some credit for bring black unemployment down so that he doesn’t lose the African-American vote as badly as the GOP usually does, that could help him in a close election.

Question for anyone reading who might have insight into law and/or condominium issues:
Would damage from a leaky fire sprinkler pipe be the responsibility of the home owners association?
Unfortunately, I am not asking hypothetically or for a friend. :(

I’m also NAL, but as a former & present condo-owner, I would recommend that you have a real one check out the fine print in the condo/HOA laws/bylaws/rules. Here in NYC, frex, common “utilities” - which a building fire-sprinkler system would be classified as - are the responsibility of the condo corp/board: although your own plumbing (bathroom faucets or sink drains, etc.) is your own liability to deal with.
Usually the rule is based on “the wall”: if it’s on your side of wall (i.e. IN your unit), it’s your problem: if it’s on the other side of the wall, it’s the “building’s” problem. Though rules/laws vary from place to place: hence check it out…
re: #7 bratwurst
Hold a lighter up to it to see exactly where the fire sprinkler is leaking.

Cute article about the series The Brady Bunch.
Competition was fierce to play parents Mike, an architect, and Carol, a stay-at-home mom with creative pursuits. One actress vying for the matriarch role sent Schwartz nude photos. Another, when Schwartz went to shake her hand, instead grabbed his crotch.
Neither got the part. It went to Florence Henderson after Shirley Jones passed on the role.

See, I read this scenario as “Trump replaces Pence with Haley on the 2020 Republican ticket”, since even if the Admin might somehow persuade the Veep to resign, they would still have to nominate a replacement - and have them approved by both Houses of Congress. Not really likely, IMO.
However, if Trump was trying to attract ANY additional 2020 voters beyond the red-hat mouthbreather “base”, Nikki might be a “rational” choice, as you outline in 3 above: still “insane” IMO, but rational….
replacing pence would be admitting a mistake
while he’s clearly made a lot of hiring mistakes - just look at the firings, scandals and convictions, it would be hard to ‘explain’ jettisoning pence

But - “socialist hellhole” or not: it’s still the 6th- or 7th-largest economy in the world: and its long- and frequently-touted “collapse” still seems to a long way off….

But that’s because the Labour leader is thoroughly deplorable in his own right. If a Pelosi were leading the party, Labour would be comfortably ahead. After all, unlike the United States, the British have a real tradition of strong women leaders. And misogyny was definitely a contributing factor in Hillary’s loss.

Update: a board member of our HOA gave our handyman approval to open up the wall to confirm the fire sprinkler pipe is leaking. This makes me feel like the association is likely accepting responsibility without a tussle, but will certainly be ready to get a lawyer involved if necessary.
There is a LOT of drywall that is going to be replaced in the near future, but damage is also localized enough for me to feel fortunate this wasn’t worse. It was also right over a closet door, and contents of said closet are all high and dry. Of course, emptying the thing I see there was virtually nothing of serious value in there anyway!

The FBI has agents and legal attaches for this purpose. Treaties permit them to work with their authorized law enforcement counterparts to obtain evidence. No legitimate reason to send a private lawyer like Giuliani to Ukraine to investigate crime. https://t.co/8SlCmG6RFj

Went to get a new National ID card & passport at a police station in #Sweden, handing in employment papers from an Israeli newspaper as well as proof of ID with 2 very Jewish names (while wearing a Magen David btw). Got back my ID and my nose has been doctored as seen below. pic.twitter.com/YF6wfOOaAg

re: #125 William Lewis
I never thought I’d hear an upbeat version of Jackson Browne’s “The Pretender”. It was a song that, for me, explicated the ills of the mid-70’s shit hole that America had become. Yet they find something different in it. Not sure it’s more or less right but it _IS_ and that’s no little thing.

Thanks for posting. I love the original, but always enjoy alternative versions.
OT I just had one of the weirdest exchanges with amazon. They are telling me that my package that was delivered today (at 100PM) is running late. I had to repeat my information five times to the person on the other end that it is the USPS that is running late and not the packages.

My attitude as well, especially songs like that one. So very different :)

Doesn’t do it for me. Browne’s original is so iconic, and being a fav of mine for so many years, I just can’t listen to a cover and not hear him. The song just doesn’t need a rework.
