Same day voter registration, early voting, mail-in voting, ban on ID requirements, and about a million other things designed to create a permanent Democrat majority.

I’m old enough to remember when the GOP had a majority and the executive office, then spent two years agreeing with Dems, saying “Why yes, we absolutely must spend our days investigating these very serious Russian collusion claims.”
So pathetic.

Bidens thinking of appointing Kristen Clarke to the head the DOJ civil rights division.
Clarke is a proponent of Critical Race Theory. In 1994 she wrote a letter to the Harvard Crimson that “melanin endows blacks with greater mental, physical, and spiritual abilities – Something which can not be measured based on Eurocentric standards”. She also refers to Louis Farrakhan as the “GOAT”.

And since she is CRT that means she is socialist driven. I came across a Fabian socialist who works for an MP in Britain awhile back. He thought revolution was needed everywhere and wanted to do his part.

I’d like to see Barr’s notes on his election fraud investigation. He basically outsourced it to a few prosecutors who were too lazy except to call him back and say “I got nothing”. He also said it was a civil affair and not a criminal affair.
I do think there was criminality here. Barr just kicked the can down the road. the class of conservatives who like to lose and make money.

I’m not sure what to think of that. I can make an easy distinction between a Trump Supporter and the Buffalo Horns guy. I can also color groups of people by their outliers. But then I have a purpose to manipulate. I’m surprised Seals lack functional political boundaries.

Where I was from the L3 zones all needed to be converted to L9 decades ago. And the R1 zones next to the freeways needed to be L9’s also.
Residential Single HOme as R1 and multi unit stories as L3 is 3 stories and L9 is nine stories.
Nothing has changed though. The planners always thought the R1 neighbors were preferable and L9 would wreck the ambience.
I was a landlord once. I’m not sure I would make it as a landlord through this pandemic. My bank loans were from cutthroat lenders. They’d prefer to take the equity. A lot of the tenants were in the restaurant industry and had hard times paying rent in the best of times.

Earthquake straps are real cheap and are a good idea. You don’t want all that weight to fall over and damage the gas connection, break the water lines and flood.
As for the other stuff you mention, upgrades aren’t required unless you do some significant alterations. Electical upgrades are usually a good idea. A lot of houses around here were wired with aluminum, but over time they corrode and cause fires, and it’s not allowed by code anymore.

I ignored my own advice when we had an underslab leak. We have a lot of stray electricity in the soils around here, and over time electrolysis occurs where the builder didn’t wrap the underground pipe properly and pitting occurs.
I chose to cheap out, paid tattoo boy to jackhammer the slab, repair the leak and patch it back up. A month later a new leak opened up near the same spot, and this time I paid a plumber to do it the right way. Replumbed the water supply, ran it overhead.

All of this furor over a disease with a cumulative 98.3% survival rate, a cumulative infection total in the US after 1 year of 7.6% and a 7 day infection rate of 50 per 100,000 population. That’s 5 per 10,000, or a 7 day probability of infection of 0.05%.
This is a pandemic and worthy of destroying the economy and lives?

That only pertains to the feds, so it doesn’t affect my facility (we have state inmates).
It’s going to screw with the company’s stock price again, though. When the Obama administration announced in August of 2008 that they were doing the same thing, we took a 35% hit to our stock price overnight. Over $1 billion in valuation evaporated.
The sad part is that our federal contracts only account for something like 15% of our revenue, and most of our federal contracts weren’t even affected. The 2008 deal only affected Bureau of Prisons contracts. Most of our federal revenue comes from ICE and US Marshals Service.
I did not understand this, and maybe it’s incorrect. Can anyone confirm?
Killing the Keystone Pipeline simply redirects the product to the railroads. And that means Warren Buffet.
I have zero foundation to analyze this, so I don’t actually know….

It’s correct, as far as I can tell. Canada doesn’t have the capacity to refine that oil. We do, but it’s in Louisiana. If it doesn’t go by pipeline, it goes by train.
But it’s still going.

I believe that information was floated while they were opposing it during the Obama or Bush administrations. Yeah, this uses more energy, reduces the cost/benefit of processing the sands, and a host of other things, but hey, Warren Buffett gets to make more money.

If “literally anyone” can attend Ranger School, why would a Ranger tab be “coveted”?
@ AZfederalist:
It costs $10 per barrel to send it by pipeline vs. $30 by train.
That’s a huge hit.

The company will, yes. It really won’t affect the majority of our operations, though.
Should be interesting to see what they do when they no longer have the capacity they need, though.
Reminds me of when California passed a law requiring all their inmates to be housed within the state.
That was 10 years ago. I don’t think they’ve actually met their goal yet.
Just like last time. Which was actually August of 2016, not 2008. Not sure why I said that. I didn’t even work there in 2008
You know what’s really worse for their health?
The kind of overcrowding that existed before private prisons existed.
This is hilarious. The lawyers for the NYT actually cited Wikipedia as a source in their attempt to defend against Project Veritas’ defamation suit:
I think I saw something earlier today that now the Federal fleet of cars has to go all electric. So just a quick search
Biden administration will replace the entire federal vehicle fleet with EVs
This would involve replacing 645,000 vehicles with US-made electric vehicles, though no timeline has been given.
https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/biden-administration-federal-fleet-electric-vehicles/
this is going to be the clusterfuck of all clusterfucks
I have visions of some Fed agents chasing a perp and running out of….battery.
But let Huawei into the grid………..
@ eaglesoars:
That’s another misleading headline. The majority of the federal vehicle fleet isn’t passenger cars. It’s trucks of one sort or another, which nobody’s planning to make in electric form anytime soon.
@ lobo91:
That’s not the best part. The best part is the returns from the Google searches. I spit my tea.

One bright spot has been watching the Dems who run this state freaking out over Biden’s drilling ban.
They figured out that the state budget will take a 40% hit.

The mass elation caused by GamestopGate should seriously concern the elites. Basically everyone under 40 is now oriented toward enjoying any victory over the elites more than any circus the elites can put in front of them.
Lobbing the Trump grenade into DC was fun. Eventually they shut that down by taking away the ability to participate in elections.
Blowing up a bunch of Cohen’s bank accounts is fun. Eventually they will shut this down by taking away the ability to participate in markets.
Their problem is that it’s impossible to maintain a society that doesn’t require the participation of those below them. They can never eliminate every vector the other classes have to strike back against them and now there is sense, albeit small, of class solidarity against them
Eventually these sentiments flare up and they overreact in tamping them down over and over again. Eventually everyone is so disenfranchised and disengaged that no one sees inherent value in maintaining systems they have no relation to.
And that’s when China strikes……….
