[More school killings, this time with a revolver and a shotgun – no semi-autos in sight, yet the killings continue.  When do we come to a national conclusion that it is the shooters we should do better at identifying and stopping, rather than taking guns from law abiding citizens?  gjr]

    Is there some confusion about the ardor that the majority of the “jon smith” puppeteers feel towards the former president?

    She should have had the sheriff kick his ass out immediately.
    The judge said Rotondo’s mother was entitled to remove him right away, but wrote that she requested he be given until June 1 to vacate.
    Rotondo told Syracuse.com that he was “not grateful for those days.”

    We knew it alrady but its nice the IG agrees –
    The $4.7 billion spent on America’s stabilization efforts in Afghanistan, mainly under former U.S. President Barack Obama’s watch, has “exacerbated” the war by fueling corruption and bolstering support for Taliban jihadists, a watchdog agency found.
    According to the U.S Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), Obama “ensured” the failure of the stabilization efforts in Afghanistan by fostering a time-based approach to the scale and scope of American military operations in Afghanistan.

    You might call this the law of intended consequences. Welcome all. “My mother told me a stranger is just a friend you haven’t met yet.”—Gomer Pyle.
    “Someone claiming to be an employee who works at a store in the loop in Chicago said they hate the new policy because the store bathrooms have turned into a hub for drug activity. “We haven’t been allowed to change our bathroom codes since April. So almost all the junkies and homeless people know the code now. About once a week we find needles, drug baggies, blood all over the toilet or walls,” the user wrote.
    The Wall Street Journal reported a Starbucks employee was pricked by a syringe in the bathroom.
    Starbucks openly invited bums and drug addicts into their establishment. What could possibly wrong.”

    Ah…… I think I understand the confusion. One of the “jon smiths” was trying to make the point that Trump was in over his head and may have make a mistake in his most recent negotiations with 🇰🇵 North Korea. This may eventually prove to be the case but it’s really too early to tell!
    I found this analysis funny given the shitty deal that the Obamas B-team State Department cooked up with Iran 🇮🇷 in order to try and give him some sort of a foreign policy legacy!

    A clever notion from Old Blighty.
    1. Local anti-muslim English nationalist guy takes video footage outside of ‘grooming’ trial.
    2. Arrest him for doing illegal thing, evidently you can’t hang out outside of a courthouse with a camera.
    3. Immediate trial and sentencing.
    (upcoming) 4. Stick in prison with general population in jail filled with Islamic gangs. (upcoming) 5. He gets killed. Win!
    Actually, that strikes me as a brilliant idea for dealing with political enemies, especially those that immigrant populations don’t like. You can’t fault the international Green Libertarians for poor tactics.

    During the meeting, members accused Emanuel of not taking their interests into consideration due, in part, to a consent decree with the federal government that’s in the works, The Chicago Tribune reported. The decree will give a federal court oversight over the Chicago Police Department.
    Chicago police have argued that the decree is a shroud for even more anti-police policies.

    That strikes me as a good example of the Great Divide.
    Team Red: Thinks that professional entertainers who show anti-patriotic behavior on national TV should probably get in trouble with their bosses due to a hit in advertising revenue and just the general bad taste of the thing.
    Team Blue: Thinks that Left wing guy (in the main, his politics are quite leftist from a US standpoint) who is against mass third world immigration and was protesting mass rape of children should be murdered in prison for a non-crime.
    Honestly, I can’t think of any way to bridge the gap. ‘M’, you and your people are the enemies of civilization. There really is no point in compromise.

    Never once did we see Chuck E. “Cheese” Schumer crying in front of gas pump prices when “O” and Co. had us by the balls, and our oil was coming from the camel Jockeys. Yup, it’s all Trump’s fault all of a sudden.

    According to Breitart:
    Things look pretty grim for the Ol Pubbers when they are behind by 13 points in a State Trump carried by 42 points
    “A poll released on Friday exclusively to Breitbart News by Gravis Marketing shows Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) currently leads the Republican party’s nominee, State Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, by 13 points, 53 percent to 40 percent, in a head-to-head match up for the U.S. Senate seat in West Virginia five months before the November general election.”

    jon smith sez: “Great work, people of Ireland!
    I don’t disagree 100% with that, although I don’t know 100% of the law in Ireland.
    It seems to me (and I’ll probably disagree with GR on this) that children have different values. 1 week after fertilization, a human isn’t worth a whole lot. 1 week before birth, they probably have some rights. Breathing doesn’t strike me as a good definition of ‘humanity’. On the third hand, is it worth spending $1M of public money on a sick infant?
    It’s a great argument with no clear answers.

    “An Ecuador court issued an $18 billion judgement against Chevron in February 2011 for environmental and social harm the company allegedly caused to the Amazon. The amount was later reduced to $9.5 billion, but a U.S. district court in New York nullified the judgement due to fraudulent and illegal activities by Steven Donziger, the lead American lawyer behind the lawsuit, according to the district court ruling.”
    And it was still ALL about the money. (they won’t get now)
    “Donziger had set up a company in Gibraltar, Amazonia Recovery Ltd., through which to funnel the funds he and others thought they would win from the Chevron case”.
