Re: Idaho lawmakers pass bill to kill most of state's wolf population - 7 weeks ago

Idaho continues to collect the losers from states "rapidly going blue", seemingly as some red oasis for crackpots, Q-anon lovers, and retired law enforcement officers. As the population grows, the native population drops. (Just ask Native Americans) Apparently, they're down to wolves now. It won't be long until there's no sign of natives left, and then who or what will they

QuoteAllGold When he said "job-killing tax hike" I couldn't help but blurt out "F___ YOU!!!!" repeatedly. Well, a significant tax-hike on the ultra wealthy may well kill his job… by way of campaign contributions that suddenly vanish.

QuoteSarcany QuoteOmbligo Rep. Wes Cantrell told WSB-TV that the bill would result in less criminal activity and crashes on the road. "Criminals like the cloak of darkness, so they have one less hour in the evening to commit their crimes," Cantrell said. In that case, they should have just passed a law against darkness. That one's been firmly in place for centuries…

There are a few unwoke parks he can still visit. There's one right in Orlando - but it closed, probably due to a lack of attendance. One just opened in San Diego. There are more across the USA. The idiot can continue to immerse himself in fantasy to his heart's delight - without the woke distractions.

Re: Deep Breath.... Chauvin verdict is in... to be read from 1630 to 1700 hours - 2 months ago

Nothing to celebrate. Justice was done in this verdict, but at a great cost to life. And there's still no justice for Brionna. Or Ahmaud… or, or, or. It's a start. Of course, Maxine Waters should've kept her mouth shut until AFTER the verdict. But no malice was intended. The murderer will get his appeal hearings regardless.

You'd also be wise to keep all paperwork to a minimum, too. Canvas or whatever LMS you use will help with work submissions. Can't avoid office hours - but maybe they could be Zoomed in. At the least, you can try to minimize any extra contact time around students. The hours spent in the classroom with umpteen 18-22 year olds can be bad enough - it's always depressing to watch as the various bu

Re: Officer Potter arrested on 2nd degree manslaughter - 2 months ago

Hard to understand why anyone would want to be a cop in the current environment… oh well, she's out now. And she'll probably see some amount of time in lockup. Given she was a police officer, she'll likely get some kind of preferential treatment if she does serve any time. It'll still be lockup, though.
