DenverCoder9 strikes again?

When Wahlberg assaulted people when he as 15 and 16 years old. That doesn’t excuse the behavior, but 15/16 year olds aren’t adults with fully formed brains. Wahlberg also went to the police and claimed responsibility for the attack. He then plead guilty in court and served time. It still bothers me how racially motivated it was and for that I would personally always have disdain for Wahlberg.

Cosby was 28 years old for his first time of rape allegations. There would be more than a dozen other women that came forward with reports. The most recent was Feb of 2000 when Cosby was then 63 years old. Cosby was a fully formed adult doing these horrible acts to women he had power over, and he used that power to abuse them.

Spacy and Weinstein also did their horrible acts as fully formed adults and had a repeated pattern of doing them again and again to people they had power over.

Careful, you mind end up like this:

I can see the advertising campaign for that one already: “Get on the fucking train, Shinji”

Harp, who is in her mid-30s, brings the president stacks of printed-out drafts of social media posts—many of them recycling content from other accounts—for Trump to approve, sources told the Journal.

…and…

"The platform allows Trump to ‘offer’ his unfiltered and direct thoughts to the American people, without the biased media taking him out of context,” he added.

Apparently not direct thoughts then. Its Natalie Harp’s direct thoughts she filters and presents to trump for him to have indirect thought on. That is the opposite of unfiltered and direct thoughts. She’s actively fomenting dissent and chaos in the USA. I have no idea what she gains by doing this. Anyone check to see if she’s getting a separate paycheck from Russia?

This tweet from her matches Russian political positions. Especially considering that Russia had seized almost 1/3 of Ukraine when she tweeted this. It was particularly tone deaf on Stein’s part because Ukraine had surrendered its nukes, and its reward was being invaded by the country it gave the nukes to.

Steins dinner with Putin was 2015, so post invasion of Crimea and over a year into Russian “little green men” invading the Donbas.

First, I’m not stupid enough to go to Russia to celebrate their propaganda apparatus like she did. Second, I notice you selectively ignored the other option of her just standing up and walking away.

You’re working very hard to craft some kind of narrative trying to convince us she has repeated poor decision making (a bad quality for a President). Are you trying to do that because the other, more likely scenario, is the reality she’s willing tool for Russia?

That explanation isn’t helping her cause or that of the Greens. She actively went to a celebration of the Russian state propaganda machine, that is mistake #1. Then, according to you, she made a choice to continue to sit silently a table with Putin. She could have either kept quiet, stood up and removed herself, or she could have exercised some statesmenship and when presented with the President of Russia, challenge him on his policies of invasion of the sovereign country of Ukraine killing its citizens and kidnapping its children in the Donbas.

Instead, according to you, she sat silent.

she did not have dinner with putin. this is misinformation

You’re looking at the picture. Both Stein and Putin are sitting at the same table. There is food in front of both. Are you claiming the photo is fake? Or are you playing word games where the meal was something like “lunch” instead of “dinner”?

The ruling parties love to smear the Greens on this side of the pond too, unfortunately

The Greens on the USA side of the pond do a great job of smearing themselves.

Here’s the US Green Party 2024 Presidential candidate Jill Stein having dinner with Vladimir Putin, members of Putin’s senior staff, and self admitted registered foreign agent for the Turkish government, Michael Flynn.

If you are 50+ years old and have insurance, get the damn Shingles vaccine. If you need to be convinced, talk to anyone that has had Shingles. If instead you like spending 3-5 weeks in agonizing pain possibly with nerve damage or loss of eyesight, go ahead an skip the Shingles vaccine.

Sure, but she’s been kicked to the curb. What does she have to gain by continuing to protect the criminals?

Couldn’t prosecutors offer immunity from prosecution though? While she could still plead the 5th, it would mean she’s actively interested in shielding the criminals instead of just protecting herself.

Sure, but when they played their strongest card it has quite a weak showing.

The court’s decision hinges on procedural and constitutional arguments about how the amendment was passed, including timing requirements and legislative steps, the kinds of disputes appellate courts often revisit, especially when they collide with a direct vote of the people.

So they’re arguing timing, not validity it sounds like. I’d be interested to hear exactly what these timing issues are they’re hanging their objection on.

Who could have possibly seen this coming for trump?

That’s worse than Carter’s low by 4 pts and outside the MoE.

Carter’s lowest approval rating was received with the arrival of *checks notes* military unrest in Iran. Simply impossible for trump to have see this coming as trump is completely ignorant of history.

Why has Trump broken all 10 commandments, for instance.

trump treated it like a to-do list until he got all ten.

But my electric company has some dumbass arbitrary limit on the amount panels the professional installers have to follow and I’m pretty sure I’m close to it

This is what I faced too. The power company only allowed to install solar generation capacity 110% of my power consumption over the last 12 months. So we had to spent a year being very wasteful of electricity. That allowed me to put up panels covering the entire roof.

I have a modern house with modern a heat pump, and I agree this winter was pretty brutal, but nothing close to yours. Can I ask what you pay per KWh? I have to imagine you’re coming close to spending enough in energy to pay for some serious renovations on the house.
