And that's quite sufficient. The ones without power don't matter.

Because at the end of the day conservatives are willing to give a W to their culture war enemies and throw one of their own under the bus to keep their city from burning down. Same as for James Fields. And you can see the incentive problem there from Pluto.

Apparently the BBC misreported it as 'white cold rage', even stranger

We have such scripts. The problem is that they are so degrading to the non-police person that many self-respecting people simply cannot manage to engage in them.

if complete strangers were calling her on the phone telling her they'd kill her if she didn't take a YouTube video down. Even if they were just prank calls, even if she knew they were just prank calls.
Now suppose two mean girls cornered her in the school bathroom and told her the same thing?
The latter is bullying. The former is Tuesday Friday on the Internet.

The communists will always vote for communists thick or thin, and the wobblers will only vote against communists if things are going especially bad for the communists in charge or if things are going really good for the non-communists in charge. These two groups together make a majority, so you always go back to communism.

You don't have to sell your house, but if you keep it you do have to spend less than ~180 days in the state. I think this is similar in low-tax states but they aren't as aggressive about enforcing it as New York.

Problem is you can't clean the graft out of the social programs because the people elect governments who are openly in favor of this graft.

The problem with Argentina is the same as with the rest of Latin America... they always keep going back to commies.

"In essence, the threats were related to getting the music off the Internet or they were going to kill her," police spokesman Sgt. Rick Martinez said. "We can't validate how serious they are, but we do take it seriously."
Uh huh. In any case, a death threat from the other side of the globe generally isn't serious unless someone like Vladimir Putin is sending it. And it's not "bullying".

His "shenanigans" were perfectly legal. He put stock purchased with post-tax money in the Roth, it went up (bigly), he doesn't pay taxes on the gains. I wouldn't put it past a Democratic administration to reneg on Roths (either for him or generally), however.

If only. There's precious little "dum vivimus vivamus" today.

God knows people like Rebecca Black were bullied horrifically by people she'd never met on the other side of the globe
Nobody on the other side of the globe that Rebecca Black did not know bullied her "horrifically". They may have said bad things about her, but that's not the same thing.

I don't know about cocoa, but the meat increases are mostly about supply; the US cattle herd is at its lowest level since 1951.

Just remember that meat eating is bad, so pricing beef out of the range of ordinary people is all for the greater good in the long term.
I expect thinking like that in the Biden administration is the big reason for the increase (keeping in mind the market is global). It's very easy to make policies which increase the price of things. And even if Trump has found and removed them, it takes years to grow cattle for market.
But ground beef in my area is about $6.00/lb for 80% lean.

Eggs are about where they were 10 years ago. Rice is 46% higher. Beans are 21% higher. Milk is 35% higher. Flour is 2.6% higher. Ground beef is up 85% -- that's the big one.

What I remember about Cecil is the doctor who shot him totally being dragged for it, but a few people interviewed some Africans and they were like "Lions? They suck, dude. They eat my friends. Americans will kill them and pay us for the privilege? Cool!" (OK, not in those exact words)

I don't think Cleveland is obscure enough for the montage anyway; he's gotten some slight recent attention for being the first president with discontinuous terms. The guy in the middle (Benjamin Harrison) counts, though.

There's talk in the main thread about the Trump $250. I think we do need some larger bills. I'd suggest Nixon rather than Trump. Not only is he properly deceased, since many of our bills have a building on the reverse, it designs itself: The Watergate Hotel.
My wife suggests we have a bill containing a montage of some of the more obscure Presidents -- Tyler, Taylor, Polk, etc. She also thought we should put some women on. Obviously Susan Anthony and some of the others are way overdone. We came up with Sally Ride (the astronaut), and Carrie Nation -- presumably the front would be her famous hatchet pic, and the back would depict a busted-up saloon.

They only do that if you attempt to interact with them in any way.

There isn’t really comparable real estate.
I mentioned several areas with comparable real estate (parts of Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken) -- these are not small towns where you need a car, they are dense cities. As for the outer suburbs, they're not $2M you can get that for $1M easy; my own house in an Essex County suburb is probably $750K.
Suburban Westchester is another story, not only is it more expensive but it has the whole of Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, and Yonkers (technically in Westchester) between it and the commercial centers of Manhattan.

The left holds both power and legitimacy. Its dictates will be obeyed voluntarily by all but parts of the executive branch of the Federal Government, while that branch is treated as if it were an outlaw. The people do not back up the Feds under Trump, nor do the courts, nor do the states. They do not have legitimacy; their opponents do. Only the left can govern in America because the right will (mostly) accept the left's legitimacy when they win (yes, even after 2020) while the left simply will not accept the right's in any case.

No, he's just, like 80% of men, ugly in the eyes of women.
He was complaining about being unable to breathe before Chauvin put a knee on his neck.
