President Trump offered the troops..

Offered the troops!? Heh. On what planet does the President of the United States need Pelosi's permission to deploy troops? He doesn't.

The lying blowholes on Fox News also keep claiming this ridiculous BS that Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer turned Trump down. I guess they think you're stupid and totally unaware that Mitch McConnell was the Majority Leader in the Senate.

Pelosi refused the offer..

McConnell refused too? As if either one of them could refuse! Duh.

You do realize this BS has been debunked multiple times, right? If the President of the United States wants to call out troops, he calls them out.

Trump obviously knows the Guard is under his control and not under the control of Pelosi. In point of fact, Trump has already stated that he called the National Guard immediately:

I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol. Like all Americans, I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem. I immediately deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders. America is and must always be a nation of law and order.

In point of fact, Trump refused to call the National Guard on January 6, and there wasn't a damn thing stopping him from doing it. Pelosi has no authority over the troops.

None of this is rocket science, you know. :)

Hostile work environment doesn't require financial cost beyond being unable to safely work somewhere. The college appears to have a pattern of overreacting to any accusation of racial bias. That's not "because she's white," it's because the college would rather scapegoat their employees than develop a system that resolves conflicts more fairly.

Senate Republicans who struck deal with Dems fought off push to raise assault weapons purchase age to 21

Also on the list of Democrat proposals, the Cornyn aide said, were a 21-day waiting period for those under 21 when buying any firearm; a high-capacity magazine ban; universal background checks; safe storage requirements for all firearms in homes; criminal penalties for not storing firearms properly in the home; and a license requirement to purchase an assault weapon.

Republicans said, "NOT GONNA HAPPEN" and Democrats caved!! :D

I'M LOVIN IT!!! :D

Jimmy Carter, Part Duex...

Other people's stories that support HER story...

I am not surprised you missed the whole point of the article...

Democrats simply CAN'T accept the fact that they are still the racist Party...

The FACT that Democrats supports Affirmative Action is blatant PROOF of the fact that the Democrat Party is STILL the Racist Party..

She’s filed a lawsuit claiming discrimination. What else is there? Not getting to perform her rap? Whatever her claims, they must be weak if the article spends a good portion of time telling other people’s stories.

Democrats are RANK with sore loserism...

Not factually accurate..

He may not have participated in it, but Donald very publicly welcomed it.

So??? Welcoming good fortune is not a crime..

Democrats welcomed the good fortune that allowed Biden to hide in his basement for the entire election..

As for Abrams sore loserism: not okay, just not equivalent.

Sure it is.. Sore loserism is sore loserism..

And that silliness about trump offering police or national guard reinforcements and Pelosi refusing them? false.

Nope.. Factually accurate..

WASHINGTON (TND) — A Capitol Police timeline of the days and weeks surrounding Jan. 6 shows former President Donald Trump’s Department of Defense (DOD) offered the National Guard’s assistance in the days leading up to the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, validating claims from Trump administration officials that were said to be false by liberal fact-checkers.

That comes from a LIBERAL Media Network..

I'de post the link but that would get me in trouble with the Warden Of Weigantia... :D

so i guess it's one of those agree to disagree moments.

Agreed... I have the facts on my side, as illustrated above, so agreeing to disagree is the only logical alternative.. :D

As for Abrams sore loserism: not okay, just not equivalent.

And that silliness about trump offering police or national guard reinforcements and Pelosi refusing them? false.

I'm fully aware that you can fire off right wing myths and false equivalencies about Jan 6 much faster than i could ever refute them, so i guess it's one of those agree to disagree moments.

This is indeed a good question..

What is Biden's Handlers answer???

A case of Democrat sore loserism...

All you are pointing out is distinctions..

Not any tangible differences..

The big lie from the narrative is OK.. :^D

OK, my fingers got ahead....

Allow me to rephrase..

Ahhhh... So the big lie narrative from the REPUBLICAN is bad...

The big lie narrative from the DEMOCRAT is OK.. :^D

DEMOCRAT = run o the mill sore loserism...

REPUBLICAN = terroristic apocalyptic sore loserism..

In short..

Different standards based on Party affiliation...

Gotcha...

Ahhhh... So the big lie narrative from the REPUBLICAN is bad...

The big lie from the narrative is OK.. :^D

and refused to deploy federal resources to stop them.

Not factually accurate..

President Trump offered the troops..

Pelosi refused the offer..

These are the facts..

You're not confused, just in denial. The Big Lie is what Donald told and continues to tell about his loss in 2020. Abrams was just a garden variety sore loser; Donald was such a soreliest loser that he encouraged the support of actual terrorists, and refused to deploy federal resources to stop them.

Once we sift through the massive generalizations of the right wing narrative, it still appears to be a case of well meaning university employees being picked on by an administration desperate to avoid public accusations of racism. I don't think you read the whole article; there's no accusation that she was passed over for a job.

JL

No, that is not what she is claiming whatsoever..

And what is with the story about the senior student who has to use a wheelchair and has a service dog? The ADA would never allow for the senior to be forced out of the room she had for years; so if the student changed rooms, it was on her own accord!

Any facts (beyond yer inherent bigotry) to support your claim??

Personally, I am sick of these losers blaming their epic failures on the color of their skin!

You mean, like Democrats claim ALL THE TIME with their bogus claims of systemic racism??

You mean, like that??

If you withdraw your application from consideration, you will not get the job! It is pretty simple.

And if you withdraw your application because of BLATANT racism, that is perfectly OK with you???

As long as it's the racism that Democrats approve of.. :eyeroll:

Yunno.. Like Affirmative Action???

A blatant RACIST policy that Democrats champion....

Funny how that is, eh?? :D

The previews make it look really good.. :D

So this woman is claiming that her being white is why she did not get a job that she ended up NOT applying for? It all started when she did not get to perform a rap she had written about the library in front of new students. So now she’s got a chip on her shoulder. The “white mask” drama is hilarious!

And what is with the story about the senior student who has to use a wheelchair and has a service dog? The ADA would never allow for the senior to be forced out of the room she had for years; so if the student changed rooms, it was on her own accord! Important note: this story had nothing to do with the woman bringing the lawsuit! Absolutely NOTHING!!!

Personally, I am sick of these losers blaming their epic failures on the color of their skin! If you withdraw your application from consideration, you will not get the job! It is pretty simple.

Former Trump AG Bill Barr tells Fox News 'the law is crystal clear'

Considering the attempted assassination of SCOTUS Justice Kavanaugh, one would think that enforcing the law would be a no-brainer for the US AG...

But, given it's Garland, 'no brain' seems to be the operative phrase here..

Apparently, it's a good thing he wasn't raised to the SCOTUS....

I have to rescind my recommendation for FIREBITE...

Democrats won't like it at all..

Here is the theme song..

So, please don't watch that show.. It will upset Democrats...

When you say BIG LIE, I dunno if you are talking about DEMOCRATS' Big Lies or what...

You need to specify...

Would that be Stacey Abrams Big Lie??

Ach, no... Of course not.. Democrats don't mind THOSE Big Lies.. :eyeroll:

donald apparently was told by his own advisors that a lot of democratic ballots would be counted later than republican ballots, and decided with no evidence whatsoever to jump out front and claim that any votes subsequently counted against him were fraudulent.

I hate Mondays... :^(

And only Jean Luc has condemned this heinous act...

Democrats always claim they condemn violent acts in a half-hearted mealy-mouthed generic blase' sort of way...

But when a specific ACT comes along that should be condemned in the harshest and most passionate manner???

{{{ccccchhhhiiirrrrpppp}}}{{{cccchhhhiiirrrrpppp}}}

The peanut gallery is silent...

What does logic tell us about this???

That Democrats only give lip service to condemning violence and terrorism...

That when it comes down to it, violence and terrorism is absolutely FINE with Democrats... When said violence and terrorism is in keeping with the Democrat agenda...

No other conclusion is possible..

Dobbs??? Bruen???

It's the only thing that makes Mondays bearable... :D

Even DEMOCRATS aren't enthused about the 6JC kangaroo court...

Yea, yer right yer right... Apologies...

but i think you and i have always had the unspoken term that settlement could be renegotiated if the feeling was strong enough. Not everyone subscribes to that view.

And yet, they should... :D

If you have hard data, let me know where to look and I'll do the search myself.

Google "Segregation in colleges today" and you'll find all the hard data you need...

These are FACTS that are occurring in the here and now..

What good does it serve you to criticize people's tastes in music? Regarding wagers, it's something we do for camaraderie and enjoyment. I don't remember what cw said to get you in such a snit, but i think you and i have always had the unspoken term that settlement could be renegotiated if the feeling was strong enough. Not everyone subscribes to that view.

Regarding the anecdotal fallacy, it can't be fixed with ten more anecdotes. If you have hard data, let me know where to look and I'll do the search myself.

I posted the relevant facts in the previous comments..

I will just refer you to ALL of your previous comments about what will and what will not reduce gun violence

What you call nonsense is nothing but facts..

It's clear that gun bans DO NOT WORK...

Los Angeles proves that. Chicago proves that. New York City proves that.. Australia proves that..

The facts are OVERWHELMING and conclusive..

The *ONLY* thing that will help curb mass shootings are mental health laws..

Democrats APPEAR to be taking the proper steps towards that goal, so that is a good thing..

My point is, however, the lack of response for these positive and helpful steps towards reducing mass shootings..

It APPEARS that, if Democrats don't get to push their hysterical anti-gun agenda, they are not INTERESTED in curbing mass shootings...

That's my point..

No Time left for nonsense.

Go ahead. But, that wasn't what I was talking about.

What's not to like??

Assuming one is not a hysterical gun-hating Democrat that is...

If you would allow links here, I could show you the bipartisan framework that is agreed upon...

Non-sequitor... What exactly am I not taking seriously??

We DO have a bipartisan framework that has been agreed upon that will ACTUALLY HELP PREVENT mass shootings...

What is it, exactly, about that statement of fact that is "non serious"???

And now we have a bipartisan framework agreed upon that will ACTUALLY HELP PREVENT mass shootings..

You see? This is precisely why you aren't taken very seriously around here. But, that's not really what you're after, is it ...

What, you don't like Kashtin?

Ya'all have been clamoring hysterically about wanting to DO SOMETHING about mass shootings...

And now we have a bipartisan framework agreed upon that will ACTUALLY HELP PREVENT mass shootings..

And ya'all's response??

{{ccchhhirrrrrrppppp}}{{ccccchiiirrrrppppp}}

Of course, the "something" being done has NOTHING to do with the anti-gun hysterical agenda...

Maybe that's why there is no enthusiasm about the bipartisan framework..

It does NOTHING to further the anti-gun agenda...

Which only illustrates that Democrats are more concerned with promoting their crazy anti-gun agenda and don't really care about mass shootings beyond how these shootings serve their crazy anti-gun agenda...

This should be a happy day for everyone..

We're taking real steps towards preventing mass shootings while STILL protecting the Constitutional rights of Americans..

It's a WIN WIN...

So why aren't ya'all more enthused???

Biden aides have repeatedly met with anti-police activists

Anecdotal fallacy. The individual case sounds quite plausible. The sweeping generalizations that the author extrapolates from it, not so much.

And yet, there are tons of facts that support the claim that THIS is not a unique situation...

Segregated Dorms... Segregated lectures..

The new big thing on college campuses is segregation...

What happened at Smith is happening all over the country...

To deny this is to deny the facts and the reality of today's Democrat Party...

I can provide TONS of links that prove my case, if the Warden Of Weigantian gives her blessing...

If not, you'll just have to take my word for it..

What happened to Jodi Shaw is happening all over the country..

This is documented fact..

This war should never have happened. If Ukraine hadn't listened to the bad advice it was getting from the US and NATO, it probably wouldn't have happened. Of course, Biden made sure we'd never find out if this stupid, unnecessary war could have been avoided!

This Biden guy sounds like a real luser...

If only Democrats hadn't cheated and committed fraud to get him elected..

Ukraine would still be whole, it's cities would not have been bombed back to the stone age and tens of thousands of Ukrainians would still be alive today..

}}}Would you follow thru and pay Putin???{{{

First, would I keep my word? Yep! as it's how honorable men behave.

So, you would give the man money so he could kill MORE Ukrainians???

And you accuse ME of dishonor?? :eyeroll:

Apparently your love of Ukraine is not what you claimed it was.. If you would pay a man so he could kill MORE Ukrainians..

:eyeroll:

The loser doesn't get to change who they pay...at least among honorable men.

An HONORABLE man doesn't reward dishonor..

What you have just said is If one dishonors in the name of honor, one is honorable..

Which is exactly what I did.. The honor was NOT to fund a place that has acted so dishonorably.. By doing so, I donated to a cause that was infinitely more honorable. Even YOU concede that because you accused the moderator (on several occasions) of taking bribes...

I am glad you see things my way now...

We should probably have a Sunday devoted exclusively to breakup songs. It's such a rich genre.

Murican JUNETEENTH is next Sunday, so I'll thank you to go with a black music theme.

Class is dismissed.

Until tomorrow, Lisbeth.

THENCE I'ma take you to Ukraine school.

Here's a tune that has done this to me for two years. Dunno why, it just is.

The Endless Enigma. (6:43)

If you listen to the lyrics you'll understand that this is a helluva breakup song -- I mean, the guy is pissed!

Damn, that was wonderful.

Boooy are you lucky, Lisbeth! You not only have me a Ukraine Topic Sighting* but I also found Lizsplaning Ukraine in my cell phone!

So... we'll be seeing you again most promptly.

But enough about me, how about that Poteet High School Music Teacher?

Think he took acid and was a Prog Rocker much at University?

Lauryn was in my high school class. Incredibly nice person, no idea why she's become so media-maligned.

So, welcome everyone to the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party where we leave all of the political chatter aside in favour of basking in the glory of the music.

And, since up here it is Indigenous History Month, here are a few of my favourite Kashtin tunes.

Kashtin formed in 1984, a duo from the Innu Nation in Quebec. I was lucky enough to see them live a few times. I learned a few of their songs phonetically so that I could sing along at their shows.

Turn it loud!!!]]

Kashtin - Tshinanu

getting jiggy wit it

This war should never have happened. If Ukraine hadn't listened to the bad advice it was getting from the US and NATO, it probably wouldn't have happened. Of course, Biden made sure we'd never find out if this stupid, unnecessary war could have been avoided!

But, now that war has been raging for a few months, Ukraine is losing more territory than it would have had to had it negotiated with Russia - before or even shortly after the war started.

Nothing you can say to me or imagine in your fantasy world can change the facts on the ground - before, since and after this war.

Anecdotal fallacy. The individual case sounds quite plausible. The sweeping generalizations that the author extrapolates from it, not so much.

here's someone who might dispute your assertion. :)

No, it actually doesn't.

You are WITHOUT honor!

When you remind someone of an ill-advised whatever you'll get reminded back, if anyone is paying attention to you.

I'll let ya'all know if I am right or not.. :D

Suppose you and I made a wager on Russia invading Ukraine..

If you lost the wager, you would have to donate $100 to Putin's war effort in Ukraine..

Would you follow thru and pay Putin???

Or would you honor the wager, but just pay it to a Ukraine Relief Agency???

Of course, being the decent guy you are, you would donate to the Ukraine Relief Agency and give the big mighty finger to Putin..

So it is with this situation.. Minus the big mighty finger..

Circumstances changed, MC...

Deal with it and quit whining about it..

Of course I was joking...

Liz hating America is as crazy as Liz claiming that *I* hate America...

I was simply pointing out Liz's craziness and non-serious claim to her.. :D

Remember how you said Trump would get a third of the black vote in '20? And how you broke your word and welched on your wager?

Give it a rest, MC.. I paid the wager, just not to the place you wanted it to go....

Leave the poor dead horse to rest in peace and quit beating on it, eh? :eyeroll:

An agreement on gun control that has NOTHING to do with guns and everything to do with mental health... :D

I love it.. :D

I can see how someone who actually hates America would say that.. :D

Of course you're joking. We all know Liz probably doesn't even carry hate DNA as she's Canadian, eh?

If there's an exception to that it's that Elizabeth clearly hates UKRAINE. Sad.

Hay Bashi...

Remember how you once said that, politically, Sarah Palin peaked at state governor?? :D

Hay Michale...

Remember how you said Trump would get a third of the black vote in '20? And how you broke your word and welched on your wager?

Thank God ... 'cause I am out of time.

Taking down President Trump...

Banning rifles...

Democrats ALWAYS choose the lost causes.. And ALWAYS fail..

Failure.. Along with hypocrisy, it's a defining characteristic of Democrats..

Now, THAT is sad.

I can see how someone who actually hates America would say that.. :D

What tool can kill more people in one minute ... an assault weapon or a person's hands?

Does it matter to the dead?? Or to the family of the dead???

The point is, if you address the mental health issue and ignore the political agenda, you can save ALL of the ones killed by "assault weapons"... Both the ones killed by guns and the ones killed by other weapons..

But Democrats really don't care about the deaths.. Democrats PROVED that with over 63,000,000 babies killed.. :^/

They just want to push their agenda.. That's all that matters...

Yer makin' me laugh.

Yea... Murder... ha ha... :^/

What tool can kill more people in one minute ... an assault weapon or a person's hands?

Yer makin' me laugh.

It continues to sound very much like you hate America (and Americans) even more than Trump.

Now, THAT is sad.

It took Jimmy Carter 4 years to decimate this country..

Biden was able to decimate this country in just 2 years... :D

THAT's talent..

Democrats are beginning to say the quiet parts out loud..

Assuming that Joe Biden actually lasts that long, Democrats are going to ditch Joe for 2024 all but guaranteeing President Trump's return to the Oval Office...

Even more so than said return is already guaranteed...

Americans greeted the 3rd impeachment of President Trump with a huge collective yawn...

Democrats are simply being moronic if they think that the 6JC will help them in the mid-terms (it's only going to hurt them) and if they think that it will actually prevent President Trump from re-acquiring the Oval Office in 2024...

The 6JC is nothing more than the Russia Collusion Delusion Part Duex....

Leave it to Democrats to be so completely and utterly MORONIC that they want to impeach President Trump even if he isn't in office..

And, as we ALL have agreed here... This impeachment is going to end up in the same place that the other 2 impeachment trials ended up..

A complete and utter failure that actually makes President Trump STRONGER and Democrats weaker.. :D

I love the taste of irony in the morning.. :D
