Reports around the Interwebz suggest Mike Richards will be the new permanent Jeopardy! host.

No, not Kramer from “Seinfeld” but some executive producer guy you’ve never heard of who was apparently a better choice than Ken Jennings, Mayim Bialik or Levar Fucking Burton.

Fans are…not happy to say the least.

Democrats should offer an amendment - stripping infrastructure funding from states whose governors refuse to allow localities to impose public health/safety measures designed to protect people from an ongoing pandemic.

it is precisely what Desantis is doing with his/florida’s own school boards

I think Mike Richards was one of the early guest hosts and he did a decent job. I wasn’t crazy about Ken Jennings or Mayim Bialik, Levar Burton was OK but too many reading rainbow flashbacks. They could probably get Mike to a nice long contract for less money.

It does remind me of Massachusetts politics though. “We did a nation wide search for the best person to head this department. At the end of the day that person was the nephew of speaker of the house.”

Adam Serwer: “The FOP has many reasons to remain quiet. Much of its rank-and-file membership is strongly supportive of Trump, whom the organization endorsed and worked to elect in 2016 and 2020. FOP leaders also know that some off-duty officers were in the mob, and might not want to suggest that they should be fired or prosecuted. And they probably also do not want to antagonize right-wing voters who will reflexively support their members as long as any police abuses are aimed at the communities those voters hate and fear.”

“All of these reasons, however, are a tremendous indictment of police unions in general and the FOP in particular. The group has placed its parochial interests ahead of the needs of the public, from whom police derive their authority, and ahead of its sworn brothers and sisters in Washington, who drew the wrath of a political constituency that police unions would prefer not to antagonize. If a commitment to ‘law and order’ does not include support for the peaceful and democratic transition of power, it is meaningless.”

Dr Lizardo  Aug 5, 2021 • 11:27:03am

Regarding that “Trump card”, Trump gets away with obliquely using Nazi imagery because eagle iconography has been used so extensively throughout European history as a symbol of state power.

Hell, the founding fathers almost certainly borrowed directly from this classic symbol….

Don’t get me started on the use of the fasces, the lictor’s bundle, that ancient Roman symbol of authority. It’s commonplace enough if you know what you’re looking for.

Why?

Rich people stay rich because they don’t waste money.

She’s just as likely to cut Loomer loose as pay the lawyer fees. If she doesn’t cover the fees, that’s probably $100k Loomer has to cough up. That’d send messages to Mercer’s acolytes - be more competent or suffer the consequences. Remember that loyalty with these people always works in one direction.

“The only way to get thrown out of Congress is to take a joke photograph years before you’re even elected to Congress. Oh, and you have to be a Democrat.”

He wasn’t expelled. He resigned because his party wouldn’t stand up for him and the Republicans were using him in their propaganda as proof that the Democrats were just as abusive to women as the GOP.

Republican members do not depart because of accusations; especially since they all receive support from their leadership, except when they come out against the insurrection. Recall that MTG did not lose committee assignments because McCarthy showed ethics but because the Democrats voted to deprive her of any such position.

at first glance, paying the debt of another person creates taxable income to that person.

it should be $123k in income to loomer then

It depends on the calculus. The Koch’s have spend a bunch of money on politics, believing they get a good return on it. Having Loomer around to destroy democracy might be something the Mercer’s are willing to pay for.

Like, for example, the Lincoln Monument. Lincoln’s hands are resting on the fasces that make up the legs of his chair.

Romanesque and Grecian symbolism was a big thing for educated people in the 1700s (Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was published in 1776) with an extra topping of Egyptian history added in the latter half of the century. It’s not surprising the traitorous slaveowners that created the institutions of the American Republic took notes from the slavery-based Roman Republic, down to the Caesar and Augustus protocol of an all-powerful President and ancillary Vice-President.

$100K is an ice sculpture at one of their backyard soirees where they stand around, silently hating everyone around them, hoping that they’ve flaunted enough to make everyone else feel inferior, and worrying about the caterers spitting in the vichyssoise.

that’s why my dream is focusing on the constructive receipt by loomer

it’s not the tax on the 123k. the angel who pays off the debt could front that too. even less than the ice sculpture

but if they all ignore it or never realize it, then like loomer doesnt even think to report it as income.
and it is a public debt.

thats some serious penalties, interest, and an omission at that dollar level, likely is fraud

OK, CRT. Currently the openly white supremacist side of the Southern Baptist Convention (these would include the Founders Ministries people and others) are completely losing their shit. One of their token Black people, Voddie Baucham, published a book called Fault Lines earlier this year. It’s an open and blatant attack on CRT by a Black guy, so of course these white supremacists are all over it.

Well, a few people have taken a close look at Baucham’s book, and they’ve found problems. The two main problems are (a) plagiarism and (b) misrepresentation of quotations from pro-CRT works.

Probably the most egregious part are what this guy calls “fake quotes.” The first screenshot at the link below shows where Baucham claims to be quoting from Richard Delgado’s Critical Race Theory. However, the second screenshot shows, in pink highlighter, how much was added by Baucham.

lambsreign.com

There’s more, including Baucham’s publisher defending him, and a bunch of mostly white guys and some Black guys who don’t know better, defending him. Here’s part of my opinion about this.

He did a great job. He was better than Jennings or Bialik or Burton (who sadly was not good at all). There was only one person I thought was better than Richards and at this point I forgot who that was.

He was constantly the second choice amongst Jeopardy fans (Jennings was #1). I’m not sure who you’re reading but I’m very surpassed to hear that because I’ve read all the “best guest hosts ranked” since the start.

After I grew out of my incel MRA phase, I noticed just how misogynist most Christian relationship authors are. It kinda soured me on the whole genre. I won’t really read any of them anymore. I’ve read a couple for our tech team small group, and have approached them with a substantial amount of skepticism, especially in areas where the author seemed to be implying that women are prizes to be won.

Why do you think Burton was not good at all?

Though the questions wasn’t directed at me, I’ll venture an opinion:
Burton never seemed like he really “got” the Jeopardy! experience: he was too obviously (IMHO) just reading off lines, and seemed (oddly, because he’s not a dummy) like he had no idea whatsoever about any of the facts behind the answers/questions. And (again, oddly for a professional actor) he seemed ill-at-ease in the “role”. I have no idea why he was pushed for the guest-host gig by (?his?) fanbase, but it didn’t seem to pan out….

52
Eclectic Cyborg  Aug 5, 2021 • 12:26:14pm

He was pushed because he did a great job with Reading Rainbow over the years and the thought was he would be good for Jeopardy! as well. At least that’s how I understand it.

Yes, and he’s a terrible person. He basically kept his adult daughters around until they married and left because he really pushed the whole “stay at home daughters” thing. His oldest daughter appears to have put a tiny bit of daylight between herself and Voddie, but she’s still hanging around in Reformed circles and cranking out devotional type books.

Speaking of the Reformed crowd, I got a used copy of Kevin DeYoung’s “Men and Women in the Church.” The book was published in April but I made an explicit point of ordering used so that DeYoung wouldn’t get any royalties. Now I have to read the damn thing. The whole point of reading the thing is to confirm what I already know—that DeYoung and the rest of the Reformed complementarian crowd don’t really recognize the existence of not-married adult people. But I’m going to have to suffer through this crap to prove the point. Blergh.

Our church has both volunteers and staff who are responsible for maintaining and operating the technology used in the course of an ordinary Sunday, including, but not limited to: Sound boards, light controllers, cameras, video switching equipment, and projectors. I am one. I am also close friends with many of the young men in the group, and we had, for a time, a small group together where we would discuss themes from one of these books, and then connect together a couple of Xboxes and shoot the living hell out of each other.

Oh I can tell you from experience with Mom’s Orthodox Presbyterian Pulpit Pimps that they force you to get married and it has to be with someone in the “reformed faith”. If you are single they will assume you are gay. Oh and if you follow your Dad’s faith instead…you’re “not of the body of Landrew!”

Sen Durbin (my senior senator, I am happy to say) has a new bill he is pushing in an email today.

Fellow Illinoisan,

Forty-five million Americans carry student loan debt. And they are not just young people—eight million are over the age of fifty. Some are being forced to use their Social Security to pay down their debt. These loans stick with you for life.

But it has not always been this way. Before 1998, borrowers could discharge their federal student loans through bankruptcy after a multi-year waiting period. If you were facing personal financial ruin, you could find relief.

Today, you are forced to prove “undue hardship” in order to have your student loans discharged. The standard for doing so has been set so high that it is virtually impossible for most Americans to prove. Instead, they are forced to carry the burden of unmanageable debt with them to their graves.

Undue hardship should not be the only path to addressing student loans in bankruptcy. That’s why I have joined with Republican Senator John Cornyn to introduce the bipartisan FRESH START Through Bankruptcy Act. Our bill would restore the ability of student loan borrowers to discharge their federal student loans after a waiting period of ten years. And it would pair this reform with accountability measures for schools that have consistently high student default rates and low repayment rates—putting the school financially on the hook for a portion of the loan discharged in bankruptcy.

This could be an historic big moment. I have been introducing student loan bankruptcy legislation for years. But this is the first time a Republican Senator has joined me in this effort. Clearly, there is growing bipartisan consensus that the status quo is not working and that we need reform.

Student loan debt is overwhelming for too many hardworking Americans. I shared some of their stories with the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this week. But with the possibility of this bipartisan bankruptcy breakthrough, change may be coming.

Take it from someone who heard a winkle AND a toilet flush on a conference call…and the rather caustic comments from upper management…

In my case it was a guy telling his wife what he wanted to do to her later…in very graphic terms.

I’ve heard the bathroom, but never caught anyone on a hot mic. We also had one of our pastors drop a microphone into the toilet before… Sigh…

We boycotted it for the entire time he was on. I think we watched 5 minutes on the last day just to see if what everyone was saying was true; he sucked. He just wasn’t good.

re: #60 Eclectic Cyborg

Less talk, more action.

Yeah…at this point companies and rich individuals have crisis managers that generate all their communication choices, so words are bullshit until they’re backed by some robust structural changes.

Activision-Blizzard”s first move was to contract a law firm that specializes in anti-union activity, so the chances are very good that there will be a stylishly presented series of “consequences” but the actual systemic problem will not be addressed.

The spectacle of punitive action dropped on plebs from great height directs attention away from the actual problem while management will get golden parachutes no matter what shit happened on their watch.

Reports around the Interwebz suggest Mike Richards will be the new permanent Jeopardy! host.

No, not Kramer from “Seinfeld” but some executive producer guy you’ve never heard of who was apparently a better choice than Ken Jennings, Mayim Bialik or Levar Fucking Burton.

Fans are…not happy to say the least.

Until Mayim Bialik repents on her years of Anti-Vaxxer BS, she doesn’t need a spotlight on her, and no her saying that she’s getting the COVID vaccine after years of damage she’s done, doesn’t cut it on it’s own.

I knew this had happened last Friday because, among my other activities, I’m part of a private FB group keeping an eye on Kent Hovind.

Here’s the arrest document. Next to Kent’s name you see the letters UTDC. That’s sovereign citizen lingo for “Under Threat of Duress or Coercion.” Yep, Kent’s a sovereign citizen. And it could be argued that Kent’s stay as a guest of the Federal Bureau of Prisons from 2006 to 2015 could have been because of his sovereign citizen nuttery. Alas, this is merely an assault charge brought by his third/bigamous wife. (Oh there’s a story there as well.)

Marrying the kind of person who expects women to submit to their husbands is never a good idea. She stopped submitting, and the police had to be involved.

re: #36 Dopamine Fish

He was my Senator, and he was a damn good one. What happened to him was a travesty, and it says a lot about him that he continues to be outspoken and active in Democratic politics in the state, despite them fucking him over royally.

And I almost didn’t get to vote for him because some poll watcher said I didn’t qualify to vote, never mind that I had just gotten a Minnesota drivers license and Minnesota had same day registration - it was the Obama war room that called me a few hours later and said to march right back to the precinct and was able to cast my vote for him, giving him the razor’s edge win.
