It will never be fixed.. the art of bribery is as old as time. It's just on such a massive scale these days that the laws, or at least the enforcement of them can't keep up.
Pubic sentiment has also taken a drastic turn as well and that's the only forum where the actual issues can be addressed. For every person who wants to see a tax cheat get their comeuppance there's another who wants to see the IRS abolished. The same goes for federal law enforcement agencies.
It's a recipe for disaster but it's where we are.
I totally agree, but now it's going to be a tough hill to climb since the conservative judiciary is paid off as well as the politicians are.
Can't get much worse than modern day Rudy but yes, that's got to be one heck of a set of charges to read when the indictment is unsealed.
I think it's too late to say that I hope the hurricane that is about to rip across the southwest is not going to be as bad as they say.. This one is looking catastrophic to the inland locations.
I hope everyone gets out with a somewhat positive outcome and loss of life and property is minimized as much as possible but it looks ugly.
Yeah, he is an ex police chief and he had some baggage coming in. He ran his campaign on a "restore law and order" type of platform with bringing back heavy handed policing as his main goal. He made a lot of voters regret their decisions after just a couple months because he made some awful mistakes with his policies and the budget.
I have a soft spot for Maya too, after watching her for so long before the election. I remember trying to follow her through the primary and racking my brain trying to figure out how ranked choice voting works. LOL I still root for Maya and don't have a clue about how ranked choices work.
I figure that the feds wouldn't be indicting the mayor of nyc if there wasn't something horribly wrong going on.
Adams has been under investigation for around a year. They seized his electronic devices back then and whatever they found hasn't been very good for his cabinet or staff since then. Lots of resignations already and subsequent indictments still yet to come.
It started with a campaign finance discrepancy but appeared to have snowballed into what's going on presently.
Back then, the scuttlebutt was that he took millions of dollars in illegal donations from Turkish citizens tied to the government, lied about them and used some sort of system that painted them to look like small dollar donors.
I've followed it loosely but I just chalked it up to the usual games until now. Once the indictment is unsealed we'll be able to see the facts and quit playing with pure speculation.
I'd wish everyone a happy birthday but nobody posts their date. I can understand that, being in an online environment, it's just one more piece of personal information that some would rather not share. I don't need a year, just a day and I can put them on my list..
For as many numbers as I've crunched in my life, I have a horrible time remembering dates of occasions. LOL my ex chose our wedding date to be 12/26 so I... a) wouldn't forget the anniversary.... and b) Have a reason to enjoy Christmas. Only half of that plan worked. When I got older, I started keeping a list that's now digitized and I always check it on Sundays then make a note for the week ahead. I had Sooz up there for this week but I ran into that little snag with Paulie letting me down and got sidetracked.
I'm not sure.... Paulie always used to start every 9/24 and I don't know if that was just an inside joke about the 924 in her alias but we'd all wish her happy birthday and she never said it wasn't. Alas, it's too late now and I was kind of waiting for paulie to make his appearance before I posted....
That's the reason why I was a bit embarrassed just to post and run. I guess I won't know until I get back to some normalcy and ask her for myself.
I'm growing tired of this stuff. It's all I can do to keep myself from lashing out and I can't wait until this election is over.
I totally forgot to wish susie a happy birthday today and I went over to the board but haven't posted there in so long that I felt embarrassed to insert myself in. I gotta get back to some sanity.
LOL Whose behind the threats? Did they all fly in from overseas to have a physical presence in the city?
I'm glad you came to that conclusion.
I have to agree Trump is a Complete imbecile A boner fried Moron > Orange Bafone
"boner fried moron" kind of suits him in all the trouble his mushroom has found him in, I like that one. That's why our elders always had that saying "Start using your big head to make your decisions and ignore what the little one is telling you." He didn't listen and now he owes his assault victim upwards of 100 million dollars while also facing 34 criminal felony charges in another issue with his little head. His boner certainly is fried.
I'm not sure about the Bafone thing though. Is that the name of one of his hundreds of shell companies that register in foreign countries but do not actually do any business there?
Cool little diatribe you've got going on there. I'll give you extra points if you can prove anything you just typed is true because otherwise it's just senseless drivel that you spew.
I'd take the time to fact check it all but you wouldn't believe it anyway, just call me a deep state commie marxist and go on a rant about fake news or some shit so, there is no need for me to try. Deprogramming brainwashed cult members is better left to the experts.
I'm glad you were able to get everything off your chest because that's what is really important. It just might save you from a future extended period in a padded room. Feel free to come back anytime.
whoo boy, what a bombshell. The other guy says windmills cause cancer and that we had airports during the revolutionary war. We could play this game all day long since you have two and we have about forty thousand if you include the last nine years.
Do you know this artist? He's on a European tour right now and the audiences sing along, knowing every word. It's a smash hit because they even know what kind of moron we are currently dealing with.
edit: that first vid was a bit corrupted, here's the version.....
Yep, that was the night I found out that he had blocked me. I tried to send him a PM to get him to admit (at least in private) that he was misrepresenting the whole story to suit his narrative rather than factual information I gathered from his own links.
He was also seeming to be all full of himself while berating poster Arizona over that whole issue and it pissed me off, so that PM would have included a few more choice words if it was able to be composed.
I've probably taken it a bit too far since then because I let it get to me, so I'm going to stop that stuff and let you all deal with it from now on. It's childish of me to continue that behavior but it doesn't mean that it won't still bug the hell out of me.
people like that are the same type of people that would condemn a rape victim and condone their attacker because her skirt was worn too short.
LOL, I remember being a young buck with a little chip on my shoulder and starting to spread my wings. We chose Florida for all the reasons that it was advertised for back in the 90's. Orlando seemed like a good place because it was centrally located and what kid growing up didn't want to see Disney when trips like that were completely out of the cards for my family?
It took a couple trips for me to get over the Mickey vibe and that's when I would go back to the condo and start thumbing through all the local news while getting to know the locals. To my surprise, their local news was not unike ours. Lots of crime, shootings and drug busts all happening within miles from the Magic Kingdom every day. Back then I just thought it was comical that everything they would fear us for was happening on a regular basis there too.
Don't even get me started on politics. As I grew older and started trying to bud out with a little Florida arm to my real estate hobby, it was brutal. The double dealing and the kickbacks involved while even trying to get your foot in the door was sickening. They made our old "machine" politicians look like choirboys by comparison. There was no wheel in that "good ol' boy" network that didn't demand a little grease. It was more on par with Giancana's crew than Daley's lol and I worked for both in my day. I aborted my dreams of contracting in Florida real quick and made sure to mind my own business after that.
It's even worse down there today and I've been from end to end of that state while they still have the gall to bring up this magnificent city like it's some sort of poster child for crime and corruption. The shiny object they point to when trying to deflect the light off themselves.
I could go on but I've done work in a lot of other places that give the same attitude. We all have the same issues but somehow I'm vilified because of where I live and work.
It's the same rule everywhere. If you don't want to experience violence, do not go looking for it. Don't try to buy or sell heroin, crack or meth on a dark street corner in a neighborhood you know nothing about and you should be just fine. There's over 5 million people in Cook County and on peak days can attract up to 2 million more visitors so there's going to be some shitheads out there, it's just a law of averages.
Funny part is per-capita we rank better than the places that use us as a poster child.
I'm not ashamed to admit where I live. Our little town of 20k people do just fine a few miles from the city limits. 😎
Our lack of white supremacists might be a bug to some but I consider it a glowing feature.
poster also turned it into a game of hide and seek, refusing to drop the subject when it was initially resolved, then continuing to dangle clues that nobody asked for.
poster should realize that nobody cares and they could have stopped the game in the beginning but has a need to feel that, "I know something that you don't", superiority. It makes them feel clever.

I dearly hope you've been following along with our good friend Marcy Wheeler, like I suggested awhile ago. It's so convoluted these days that I can't even keep up with it all but she's always on the spot. The comeuppance is in DC... Georgia is a political mess of a case.

do you have twitter access, big bothsides guy? Read this thread, again if you don't or can't , I will provide all the pertinent information from early 2023 to present by request. It appears getting all your information from Russian sources isn't really the best of ideas.

👇️👇️Eats guinea pigs and may or may not had sex in a Barnes and Noble bathroom wants you to know that he is much much smarter and better looking than you are. His opinion is the only one that matters.👇️👇️
That's not what she said at all. Your boy took her completely out of context. Get back to me when you get the full interview or at least that excerpt. Show us the question that was asked and what her full answer was and quit living in a fantasy land.
P.S. tell all your friends that Hillary isn't running for president anymore either. Explain to them that it's 2024 now.
If you'd like to learn more about the Trump connections to Russia that you call phony, there is a documentary airing tonight on msnbc at 9:00 ET that explains a lot of it. It's called "From Russia With Lev".
If you miss it, once the network puts on youtube after tonight, I will repost all two hours of it here so you can't say you never saw it.. I hope all you "botthsiders" that have either watched or will watch it will come back here and say with a straight face that "they are all the same".
we took in around 20 Million people
Who is "we" and where are these 20 million people you speak of?
Is this what you lose sleep at night over? How many more times are you going to continue to beat this dead horse? Do you have to unplug and plug yourself back in once a week to be able to keep regurgitating the same bullshit over and over and over again?
I see we are back to the George Floyd protests again now too. You claim to live somewhere in Minnesota so now you're the foremost authority on everything Twin Cities even though you don't provide an ounce of proof to back your assertions? After last week's session with fuagf, he probably now knows more about Minneapolis than you do.
We understand you are a fan of the former guy and there's no shame in that except you need to bring factual information to everyone here to prove your point. The redundancy in your arguments even after you are debunked only show me and all the others here that you have no idea what is going on. You're just here to annoy people. Your content is borderline spam which shows that you have the mental capacity of an 8 year old that just learned how to tie his shoes and wants to keep showing everyone that already learned when they were 4.
Get some new material.. That shit didn't work in 2020 and it sure as hell isn't going to work now.
12 days ago.....
Oh definitely, just like this corned beef. I mean, I could probably slow cook it on the grill but I like it better when everything gets to swim around together and soak up all the flavor..
Sous vide is extremely easy and makes perfectly cooked meat. He would make lamb and beef roasts that seemed like they were melting in your mouth. I'm just set in my ways, I need my fire whenever possible.. 🔥
Oh no, always prepackaged brisket. LOL it's bad enough that I have to chop the potatoes, cabbage and onion. I buy baby carrots so no peeling and slicing there and little red potatoes don't need to be skinned.
My chef buddy made all his meat in the sous vide and it was delicious. LOL always looked a little gray and funky when it came out of the cooker but that was nothing a blowtorch couldn't solve. He never made a corned beef though. He always tried to talk me into getting one but I'm still hopelessly addicted to my grill. I thought about it after he passed but kind of forgot about it.
LOL I wish.. It's been pushing 90 for the last week and I can't remember the last time it rained significantly.. Supposed to rain Sunday and start to cool back into the 70's next week but I'll believe it when I see it.
Last time I went shopping there was a sale on corned beef and I always have a taste for it so I grabbed one. It was called "the half way to St. Pats day" sale so they had all the good stuff for cheap. Usually it's impossible to find one between June and November without paying through the nose for it so it worked out good.
It turned out good too. I slow cooked it this time to see how it would turn out and I might stick with this method going forward.
It doesn't work that way anymore. The only time he's on the air now is a Fox or newsmax gig and even then they start to cut him off when he goes into derangement mode, which is becoming an everyday occurrence. I'm not sure what networks you are watching. His campaign has devolved into a pity party tour full of the same misinformation and fear mongering he's been repeating for 9 years now and his stories are better suited for a dark corner in the basement of a retirement home.
But you go on and keep telling yourself that we're all the ones who are certifiable, if it makes you feel better.

LOL I'm making corned beef and cabbage today. I'm going to put it through a rigorous taste test before I make a plate and go drop it off for my girl at work.. If I mess up my fine lass's Irish dinner it could be a deal breaker.
LOL either that or one of her new recipes finally took its toll.
gonna have to take a hard pass on the lil' smokie concoction. Marty and me are in the den stuffing our face with some convenient store nachos instead.
that looks good and I agree, apricots are underrated. My mom still makes the the family kolaczki recipe for me and sis when we're together. The fresh made apricot filling is a must but the sweet poppyseed is a close second.
I wonder if Cheryl Hines is going to stick up for her beau again this time?
What a convoluted mess that is.
Yeah, could be...
I think the alpaca would scare him just as much. LOL I was waiting for him to whip out a note like the doggos that go shopping for their hoomans.
Yeah sure, LOL the guy she was engaged to (Ryan Lizza) was fired from the new yorker for the same kind of funny business so I don't think they would have called it off if her tryst with Bobby Jr. was platonic.
She needs to take this time off for some serious self reflection.
I sometimes try to stop myself from thinking that way, fearing that I'm getting a little too conspiratorial for my own good but every outlet I look at to try to disprove my own theory doesn't give me much satisfaction.
Electing Harris would only be a start, albeit a big one but some laws need to be changed, even if it takes pushing for some new amendments to the constitution.
LOLOLOL. We are never alone.
Yes, there have been a lot of mistakes made by the Democratic leadership in the recent years and they all stemmed from adhering to tradition and norms that were always taken for granted. You're even doing it now by assuming that just because nobody likes JD it will make a difference. That's not the point because government as we know it will cease to exist and they will turn our constitution into campfire kindling. What part about suggesting that we will not have another election is not registering?
The SCOTUS has already got the ball rolling with their latest rulings. They aren't interpreting the constitution anymore, they are writing their own laws and this presidential immunity nonsense has unlocked Pandora's Box. It's given them the ultimate power to determine what is right or wrong regardless of standing precedent.
I try to talk myself down all the time too but watching the way things are unfolding it's hard for me to admit that there's tens of millions of people who would support all this but there are.
It's a whole new set of unwritten rules now and "we're not going back" has become more than just a campaign slogan. It's our only way to keep this great experiment in progress..
I might sound a little too alarmist and that's okay, I will accept that but there wouldn't be a bunch of old guard republicans ringing the same bell I am if I was that far off base.
