Title: The 2020 Circus - All of the clowns, all of the time
Post by: Perd Hapley on March 28, 2019, 09:14:17 AM
There are so many candidates, from Julian "How do you do, fellow Earth-beings?" Castro, to Pete Buda- Butti- B-something, we need a thread for all of their gafs, grafts, and whatever makes us laugh. To kick things off:

I heard a comment yesterday that Beto is sucking up all the media attention lately and there is little room for some of the lesser known candidates to get attention.  That person wondered if Biden would still get in the race now. 

I don't watch the news so you might see this more than me.

So I guess pretty much none of them are dropping out until the first debates? It's gonna be funny to see the wailing about unfairness when CNN et al start choosing who gets to be in the "first string" debates and who gets into the secondary debates that no one watches. Which is a model I'm assuming they are going to have to do just so the debates aren't 14 hours long. They did it with the Rs in 2016, and there were a lot less of them.

The DNC/RNC pretty much picks the lineups for the network debates.  This is how they eliminate 3rd party debates.

Biden in the news: https://pilotonline.com/news/government/politics/article_cba7d87e-fac8-5339-9621-de52b1155e48.html

Quote
“All of us who have been around Joe Biden — he hugs men, women and children,” said Dick Harpootlian, a South Carolina state senator and avid Biden supporter.

“He is a hugger. That’s just the generation he comes from, and that’s his personality. You shouldn’t read anything into it other than he was doing what he has done to me, to my daughter, to my wife, to Barack Obama.”

If Biden made Flores feel uncomfortable, he said, it was unintended.

Reality check: Joe Biden is a year and a half older than I am, so we are the same generation. And in my generation, men did NOT hug random people. In fact, in my generation, the general rule was that men didn't express much emotion in any way. We certainly didn't (and don't) make a habit of pawing women we've only just met, inhaling their hair, and kissing them. Bottom line: Joe Biden is a creep at best, and perhaps a perv at worst.

President Trump announced Friday that Biden is his appointment to the Transporation Security Administration.

Biden will be tasked with showing TSA agents how to violate people's personal space and privacy in their daily groping of American citizens. He already has "dozens" of charts and infographics he began to hand out to TSA workers all across the country, creeping up on them and gingerly setting the files in their hands as he whispered his instructions in their ears.

In order to distinguish my platform from my esteemed opponents I'm going to move a smidge to the left and campaign on enforced equity for all.  My primary planks will be radical redistribution of all fungible resources, seizure by the Federal government of all things that cannot be equitably shared, and surgically rendering everyone to a lowest common denominator of health and intelligence for the ultimate in social fairness.

As our Founding Parental Units of as yet Indeterminate Gender and Sexual Orientation would have really wanted if they only had my vision.

Warren's tax payer funded vote bribe

Quote
The Massachusetts senator says the proposal unveiled Monday would eliminate almost all student loan debt for 42 million Americans, canceling $50,000 in debt for each person with household income under $100,000. According to Warren's description of the plan in a piece to be posted on Medium, the debt cancellation proposal would create a one-time cost to the federal government of $640 billion.

I've heard Measles is starting to be a problem again.  CDC is tracking Hep A issues with the usual suspects (homeless, IV drug users) on their website, but I don't know that I've read about a third world disease really getting a foothold here.

Maybe it's because as a population we're mostly vaccinated....

I was talking to some old coworkers, also liberal, and compared him to another old coworker, because he reminded me of that guy right off the bat. They all agreed, and it was pretty much what this woman wrote about the 40-something manboy who skateboards to work, can't be on time for anything, and generally can't get it together, but is loaded with "deep thoughts" and self-importance.

Hillary Clinton warned Democratic candidates for president that even if they do everything right on the campaign trail they can still have the election “stolen” from them, just like she did.

"You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you," Clinton said on Saturday during an “Evening with the Clintons” event in Los Angeles, California.

As reported by CNBC, the Biden parody site has been outranking Biden's real campaign site for at least a couple of weeks. While not all searches for Biden will result in JoeBiden.info popping up as the first non-ad result, the searches "Biden 2020 website" and "Joe Biden info" still do (screenshots below). The search for "Joe Biden website" now pulls up CNBC's report first, followed by the parody site second. "Biden 2020" pulls up the parody site second, just after the "Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign" Wikipedia entry.

Stacey Abrams isn't running for pres yet (officially) but I'm thinking she already wants to drive the clown car

Apparently asking the "citizenship question" on the census is according to her

Quote
designed to reduce the count of illegal immigrants and “mixed families” and added that it “targets black men” by propping up counts in states in which they are imprisoned instead of their home states. Abrams said poorer communities, as a result, never get the resources they need to respond to the “mass incarceration” crisis.

And

Quote
claimed that all of this is intentionally “designed to erase populations from the story of America for the 21st century.”

I liked how he said "You ..." while pointing at himself.

Considering that the Republicans control the Senate 30:20 and the House 58:42, it's hardly surprising that he can't point to anything that he has accomplished. He can't admit it, but anything accomplished during his term of office was accomplished by the legislature, and his greatest contribution was not issuing a veto.

I don't think it is nearly that simple.  A President could easily be in a position to screw things up and not in a position to make things better.  I think most economic situations are like that, where intervention by a President could make things a whole lot worse but the only path to improvement is through lack of interference.  That inaction could be due to conscious choice, indecision, or political standoff with other branches and many of those options could not be credited to the chief executive.

I agree with you, but that is not how presidents (all of them) view themselves, nor how the media reports on presidents.  It seems to me that most people view the president as the boss who gets sole credit or blame for everything.

I'm figuring about a year of intensive panic buying ramping up in the next few months after the dem primaries. Then either all is well and prices and demand regulate down, or we have four years of some level of increased demand depending on the dem president and what they push. I would expect all of them to play with EOs. From (likely primary winners) Biden paying mostly lip service, to Harris trying for more intrusive stuff. It also will very much depend on congressional majorities.

So much stoopid.  :rofl:

It's pretty funny that the woke-scold NPCs are now reciting social conservatives' talking points. I distinctly recall that one argument against fake marriage was that homosexual relationships were never exclusive, so they weren't really interested in monogamy, anyway. Now Mayor Pete is not really gay, because he's not on Grindr.

I stand with those leading the fight for reproductive freedom and will continue to fight to protect the constitutional right to abortion and ensure that everyone has real access to reproductive health care. That starts with doing the following:

  • Nominating judges who are committed to upholding reproductive rights,

My copy of the Constitution must be defective. I can't find a right to abortion in it anywhere. And I worry about any prospective president who campaigns on a platform to appoint judges who will "uphold" non-existent rights rather than uphold the law and the Constitution.

[Captain Obvious] Just a reminder, the constitution of the United States does not confer or create rights of any kind.[/Captain Obvious]

I certainly agree with you about the heinous nature of abortion as birth control and the extremes the left are taking it to.
But do we really want to limit what is permissible to those thing that are specifically spelled out in the COTUS/BOR?
There are any number of things we consider as natural/god given rights that are not specifically spelled out in the COTUS.
The BOR actually makes note of that fact -
Article [IX] (Amendment 9 - Unenumerated Rights)
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


Do we want to live under the conditions of that which is not specifically permitted is prohibited? Or is it better to live under the premise of that which is not specifically prohibited is permitted?

Highlighting is mine.  But with an issue like abortion, which I am opposed to as is a majority of Americans, at the very least tax payer dollars should not be allocated to organizations who provide abortions, nor should they be allowed to sell body parts of aborted humans.  If you want an abortion, pay for it yourself or have it financed by those who believe it is not inhumane.  A moral society would direct tax dollars to support women with an unwanted pregnancy as well as having proper support and opportunity for the child to be placed with adoptive parents if the child is not wanted by the mother.  It seems that killing the unborn is less complicated by a jaded population.  Most of the argument for abortion is specious at best and bestial at worst.

If the unborn child is a person, isn't he entitled to the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?  And if we don't know if he is a person yet, isn't he entitled to that presumption?  That's why at conception may not technically be correct, but morally it's the right answer; it's the earliest point at which the fetus's humanity is uncertain.

A better question IMHO is, why is fed.gov getting involved in an issue of state law? (manslaughter, or the equivalent thereof)

What if this parade of losers is a leftist tactic to spread thin the Trump teams opposition research resources?

Or maybe, a candidate offered for every “intersection”, then at the appointed time they all start dropping out and coalescing around the chosen candidate.

I’d love to believe they are not unified, with nobody at the helm, just a bunch of stupid and insane weirdos.

Actually believing the narrative being presented about the left in the media seems like a bad idea. Why believe the stories they’re weaving? Particularly about themselves?

Trump only really needs to worry about the one who comes out of the Dem convention relatively intact and unless someone other than from of this bunch pops out of nowhere to win it I don't think he's going to losing much sleep over it.

Okay, now they appear to have split it in two after all. Orange and purple.  I guess that's like apple and banana?

It wasn’t until marriage equality became law that gay & lesbian couples could jointly file tax returns—so they paid more in taxes.

How do I go about claiming "gay reparations"?  Do I just check a box on a form or do I have to "prove it".  If the former, I'll check the box and get some of that sweet, sweet, free .gov money.  If the latter, umm, I'll probably pass.

My plan would turn every parking space into a handicapped space. They’re always the ones closest to the entrance. Now wherever you park you’ll be just a few feet away from your destination.

Of course, we cannot use that term any longer. So they will be called Differently Abled Spaces (DAS). I’ve started a pilot program in Washington, D.C. to test my plan. It’s called “DAS Capitol.”

    Number two, we increased that background check when—when—during the Obama-Biden administration. I’m also the only guy that got assault weapons banned, banned, and the number of clips in a gun banned. And so, folks, look, and I would buy back those weapons. We already started talking about that. We tried to get it done. I think it can be done. And it should be demanded that we do it, and that’s a good expenditure of money.

    And lastly, we should have smart guns. No gun should be able to be sold unless your biometric measure could pull that trigger. It’s within our right to do that. We can do that. Our enemy is the gun manufacturers, not the NRA, the gun manufacturers.

I saw this debate quote from Kamala Harris and it irritated me:

Quote
Biden and Harris tangled over the issue of school desegregation. Harris attacked Biden’s decades-ago work with segregationist senators, making the point personal by explaining she was a member of only the second class of black children in California to be bused to school in an effort to force desegregation.

“That little girl was me,” Harris said directly to the former vice president in a moment that has since gone viral.

It brought back memories of Junior High school. Harris is a few years younger than me. In Junior High, also in California, I was in one of the first classes of white kids (and also hispanic kids whose parents worked hard to live in a good school district) to be bused to Gangbanger Junior High in the bad part of town. She got bused to a good school, I got bused to a crappy school "in the name of fairness". Who suffered more?

So, one pulling out, and one jumping in to replace him.

The true question is... just what free *expletive deleted*it, and in what amounts, is the new guy going to offer in order to buy a base?

This guy won't run on free *expletive deleted*it. The guy he's replacing ran on "all gun control, all the time." This guy will run on, "All impeachment, all the time." He'll probably get a good portion of TDS Hollywood behind him.

Bernie's "Everything is free for everybody (except the rich)" ad. Worth sitting through the whole five minutes to see how they twist stuff into propaganda. Like "paying for it all by hitting wall street with transaction fees on speculative trading". Which, in reality, means that anyone who buys stocks for retirement or whatever is hit by the fee, not just bajillionaires. Otherwise, it plays like a late night ad for crappy merchandise. "Act now and Bernie will throw in an electric car! Free free free!"

Huh. I was kind of thinking that POC supremacy will be the end of this country.

It would be a real shame if we had to categorize people by "Jackass" and "Not a Jackass" vs by skin color. These freakin' SJWs have set race relations back 100 years, and they (and the MSM) should consider themselves responsible for any of these fringe white power groups even making the news cycle, vs having their little rallys in the middle of nowhere with no one paying attention.

What's his name wasn't really black, he was half white. So maybe he should be recorded in history books as our first gray president.

As well as the president who personally set race relations back fifty years. The media accuse Trump of being a racist, but they never said "Boo" when what's his name played the race card at every possible opportunity.

I think the last election showed that an unlikable woman is not a lock to win.  Running against Trump won't be the same as running against McCain and Romney.  Barack Obama was likeable, well spoken, and has some charisma (according to some).  His wife doesn't have that.

It doesn't really matter who it is that survives the current cage match.  The media and online powers will be pulling out all the stops to get them elected.  If I didn't care about outcome, it would be an interesting event to watch.

    On the question of outright banning certain firearms for cosmetic features, bullets of any random size, or banning magazines holding an arbitrary number of cartridges, I am adamantly opposed and do not believe that laws should be based on random limits just for the sake of limiting gun ownership or usage.

    Furthermore the attempt to limit the purchase of firearms to arbitrary time periods – such as “one-gun-a-month” – will not solve any crimes and will only [curtail] the Constitutional rights of law abiding citizens.

    I share your concerns about these and other attempts that could contribute to the slippery slope of government confiscation of people’s firearms based on the arbitrary whim of politics and public opinion.

Quote
Sen. Elizabeth Warren told a New Hampshire crowd that her recent tweet claiming “Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer” is a non-issue because “what matters is that a man was shot.”

Right. Never mind that the man was in the process of physically assaulting a police officer when he was shot.

Quote
“What matters is that a man was shot, an unarmed man, in the middle of the street, by police officers and left to die,” she said. “And I think that’s where our focus should be.”

One of the complaints at the time was that Brown's body was left in the street for a long time. I guess some people would have preferred to disturb the evidence at the scene. We now know why.

I understand that I have a tendency to be pedantic, but IMHO there's a difference between someone who is dying and someone who has died. I prefer to think that if Brown hadn't been so successful at suicide by cop, first aid would have been administered once it was confirmed that he was no longer a threat.

Early on, I didn't think she would have a chance. However, with all the candidates going crazy commie, she is looking more and more like a viable candidate. Her closer to center politics will appeal to a large portion of dems who have actual jobs and don't spend their days protesting and rampaging, She has the "center" appeal of Biden without the Alzheimer's. It will be interesting to see how she does in the polls in the coming months.

https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/energy-environment/259342-fifty-years-ago-the-white-house-knew-all-about-climate

It's hilarious to me that they can write an article like I linked and not notice the problems.

In 1965, they correctly predicted how much the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere would increase. That is one part of the science no one argues over.

The article then notes that in 1969, they extrapolate that this could 1 lead to a 7°F rise in surface temperatures and a consequential 10' rise in ocean levels.


I'll note that those predictions did not occur, but somehow THAT part of the "THE WHITE HOUSE KNEW ALL ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IN 1969!!!!" didn't seem to matter.

I have as much faith in the "THE SEAS ARE GOING TO SWALLOW FLORIDA!!11!1!" as I do in the 1969 predictions because the track record of such predictions is the best means of assessing them.


1: Note that in 1969, they were aware enough to realize their predictions had a significant amount of uncertainty. Today, the predictions are just as wrong, but the uncertainty is gone.

I think the reason they use the idea of mirrors is that they're planning on launching these via satellite.  Metal foil sheets can be origamied up pretty tightly in a small, relatively lightweight package.  They can also be maneuvered more readily.

Pretty sure that Sulfur Dioxide is a precursor to acid rain.

Wait a tic

Yep:

Quote
In the gas phase sulfur dioxide is oxidized by reaction with the hydroxyl radical via an intermolecular reaction:[5]

SO2 + OH· → HOSO2·
which is followed by:

HOSO2· + O2 → HO2· + SO3
In the presence of water, sulfur trioxide (SO3) is converted rapidly to sulfuric acid:

SO3 (g) + H2O (l) → H2SO4 (aq)
Nitrogen dioxide reacts with OH to form nitric acid:
NO2 + OH· → HNO3

Not sure seeding the stratosphere with a known pollutant is a great idea.

The list of things that can go wrong with releasing a large population of engineered micro organisms into the ocean is also pretty dang long.  I feel like Yang is concerned that Climate Change might not be taken seriously so he's damn well going to make it an extinction event so we understand how real it is

The current proposal is to force any Americans who have scary ideas, like that there are only two genders or that climate change isn’t a serious crisis, to sell those ideas to the government at a fair market price so they are then no longer able to express those views. The government will also force the sale of dangerous media, such as making Netflix sell them the new Dave Chapelle comedy special so it can be destroyed.

“These are ideas that serve no purpose, and we need to get them out of public use,” stated Elizabeth Warren. “Some people may be upset, but they shouldn’t be, because we’re paying them for their stupid ideas. Also, we’re buying back being able to call me Pocahontas. No one needs that.”

Hoo, boy. Where to begin?

Quote
To start, my plan calls for a new federal agency, the Federal Automation and Worker Protection Agency (FAWPA), to oversee automation and safeguard jobs and communities.

Just what we need -- yet another federal agency. But, at least it will create a place for all those displaced workers to go get a paycheck.

Additionally, my plan would close tax loopholes worth hundreds of billions of dollars for corporations that invest in automation and then often deduct it on their taxes, even if they know that their “investment” will likely destroy their employees’ jobs.

Here we go with the "loophole" rhetoric again. Since when is it NOT an "investment" when a business purchases stuff to run the business?

Quote
Lastly, my proposal would institute a “robot tax” on large companies that eliminate jobs through increased automation and fail to provide adequate replacement jobs. They’d be required to pay five years of payroll taxes up front for each employee eliminated. That revenue would go right into a new generation of labor-intensive, high-employment infrastructure projects and new jobs in areas such as health care and green energy that would provide new employment. Displaced workers would be guaranteed new jobs created in these fields at comparable salaries.

So, the green WPA?

Link doesn't work, but this came out a couple of days ago. Yes, once again Ms. Warren's fictionalized biography has been tripped up by inconvenient fact. She is, once again, trying to portray herself as a victim of a patriarchal system under which pregnant teachers lost their jobs and their livelihoods. Unfortunately for Ms. Warren, it has come out that -- in fact -- she simply chose to be a stay-at-home mother for a couple of years. The "system" didn't victimize her at all.

She's already a known liar. This is just another example of Ms. Warren doing what she knows best how to do: lie.

I saw a comment on twitter that there may have been unofficial pressure to leave for a non-tenured teacher with only a year on the job.  It could simply be she felt like she wasn't welcome and being fired is how she remembers it all these years later.  Either way, it goes along with the typical "I am a Victim Too" language the democrat politicians like to do.

"Look, it's tough for us to raise money by just saying the same talking points we've been using for years," said RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel. "Frankly, a lot of our policy positions are kind weird and not all that conservative. But if we can just let the Democrats talk for hours every night, we're sure to win."

The RNC is looking to raise over $100 million for the campaign strategy.

Proposed debate topics include The Evils of Capitalism: A Town Hall, When Should You Force Your Toddler To Change Genders?, The Merits of Men Beating Women In MMA, and A Bidding War on Taxes: How High Can We Go?

To be honest, I am not entirely sure what the hell they mean by this.  I think it means significant others of prohibited persons will be added to the prohibited person list.  I have no idea how that will work.  Maybe they will add everyone who has ever dated a prohibited person.  Does this mean the ex-wife who accused an ex-husband of abuse would also be banned?

PROOF: YOUTUBE CENSORED TULSI GABBARD | LOUDER WITH CROWDER

Crowder's video is a bit long.  They have screen shots and such that show Tulsi Gabbard's youtube content has been deprioritized in youtube's search algorithm in the US.  It doesn't come up on a search unless you scroll down off the first page of search returns.  

Crowder mentioned this for his channel a week or two ago.  He "Change My Mind" series was done that way.  They realized that if you use a VPN and change your location, the search results changed.  His series was not coming up on search results if you searched from a US location.  

Tusli already has a lawsuit going against Google.  I wonder if she could get a judge to look at this before the primaries start.  Probably not.


IMO, I find this sort of thing odd.  It seems to me that Tulsi is likely the best prepared of all the candidates to go toe-to-toe against Donald Trump in a debate, trash talk against trash talk.  However, they speculated that a certain former presidential candidate loser might be pulling strings here.

Elizabeth Warren's Plan To Pay For Medicare For All: Spend So Much The National Debt Clock Rolls Over To Zero

Quote
Warren has since explained, though, that that mind-boggling cost is actually a part of the plan to pay for it. “If anything, I want it to cost more,” Warren told the press. “Because here is how we’re going to afford it all: We’re going to roll over the National Debt Clock to zero, wiping out all our debt!”

The National Debt Clock is a counter at One Bryant Park in Manhattan that records the ever-increasing national debt. Warren pointed out that it only has fourteen digits, so if they can get it to $99,999,999,999,999 and spend one dollar more, the number will reset to zero. “We’re only at a little over $23 trillion,” Warren explained. “So we have quite a ways to go. Hence my ridiculous Medicare for All plan.”

Once the counter rolls over, it will then be important for the country to immediately stop overspending so as to not just end up back in the same situation, but Warren expressed confidence that “we can stop any time we want.”

That one has me a little worried, at least if I step out of my bubble. I might think Bloomberg is terrible, and APS might think Bloomberg is terrible, but much of that comes from us having skin in the game on guns and generally libertarianesque attitudes regarding stuff like telling us if we can drink soda or not.

He is nanny state, not socialist. WAY too many people have zero problems with nanny state stuff, and think Bloomberg is very sensible on guns. He is also considered by many to be sensible (i.e., non-socialist commie) on the economy and taxes, I think even saying you can't use "tax the rich" to solve your problems (though I believe he is for higher taxes). Plenty of big city conservatives like him, as well as many on Wall Street.

I think I would rather have bungling Joe Biden as President, but I think the sheep would rather have Bloomberg. I can see all the never trumpers voting for him, as well as many independents who don't like the current dem choices.

the Republican party’s concern about high deficits and mounting debt was a mile wide and an inch deep; when presented with a presidential candidate who rarely even pretended to care about the national debt and who had no interest in even attempting to reform entitlement programs, most Republicans signed on. Sanford made the unforgivable mistake of believing his party had meant everything it had said in the Tea Party era.

No. In the context of this discussion, in the video of the interview with Bloomberg he says that a good definition of an assault weapon is any firearm that holds more than three shots. But (of course), that limit would not apply to his bodyguards, because he's rich and spayshul. My comment, to which Fistful referred, was a response to Bloomberg's statement.

The links Loesch tweeted out point to a speech Bloomberg gave at the Aspen Institute in February 2015, where according to The Aspen Times Bloomberg said that “police should seize guns from male minorities between ages 15 and 25.”

“These kids think they’re going to get killed anyway because all their friends are getting killed,” said Bloomberg. “So they just don’t have any longterm focus or anything. It’s a joke to have a gun. It’s a joke to pull a trigger.”

Bloomberg also stated the need to “throw them up against the wall and frisk them” and that in New York City “we put all the cops in the minority neighborhoods.”

“That’s where all the crime is,” Bloomberg said.

That isn't the reason he got no traction.  With the media, Trump sucks the air out of the room.  No matter how much the media says they dislike Trump, the keep giving him free press and air time.  Also, Trump is pretty popular with the Republican voters who would be Tea Party voters.  Just horrible timing.  IMO, one would have to have pretty big blinders on to blame it on Republicans abandoning Tea Party ideas.  

That said, this part of the quote certainly does apply to most of the Republican party elected officials in D.C.

CA is a good example of that. A few years back they even changed "dept of fish and game" to "dept of wildlife" as part of a "makeover" and accompanying PR to attract non-hunters and non-fishers to the outdoors. There has definitely been a big decline in consumptive recreation because of that and other factors, and there's no license or fees for "wildlife viewing".

If it wasn't for CADFW also having their OSPR (office of oil spill prevention and response) division as part of their budget, and all the dough they suck out of the oil companies for that, they'd have been in dire straits long before now.

Even here in Idaho hunting is on the decline (other than, apparently, non-resident tags). I signed up for the DFG newsletters and they are always talking about needing to engage and attract young hunters.

Giving everybody free *expletive deleted*it might be how they plan to steal our IRAs, 401(k)s and 403(b)s.  Print lots of money to devalue the currency so our retirement accounts can't keep up with the hyperinflation.  The end result wouldn't be much different than seizing them under eminent domain, just probably less bloodshed because it wouldn't happen all at once.

Tried to explain that to liberal leaning hard workers? You've been working and saving your whole life right? So WTF do you support $15 min wage and more taxes when all that is going to do is devalue your savings? Sorry Dave Ramsey, debt is the new savings, a true sucker is the one with money in the bank. Get your stuff, hide it, live well.

Rural land is way over priced right now. You can't pay the note off in 30 years farming it. You can get a better return on money buying over priced land and charging rent to farmer than CDs/savings accounts. Why prime/marginal Ag land is so high. Got a few millions in cash, buy 400 acres at $6500 an acre, charge $180 a year rent, gross $72k per year at that price.

400 acres x $6500/acre= $2,600,000

$180/acre/year x 400 acres = $72,000

$2,600,000 invested / $72,000/ year income = 36.1 years to break even.  Assuming zero property taxes and or upkeep on the land.  Obviously you have the land as an asset, but that doesn't seem like a great use of $2.5mil.  With even a crap safe 3.5% interest rate you'd have almost $9mil in that time.

But the land is also a hedge against hyperinflation.  If the Democrats give everybody everything they are promising (or the Republicans don't do anything about the deficit)  $9mm might not be worth much.

That is why I have slowly moved myself out of the real estate game. To me, real estate is better when you're younger and need the deductions you can get there, but not in equities. I can deduct every little damn thing you can think of as a farming expense on my place here in Idaho, but only because, though I lease the land for grazing, I'm still doing hands on work. But we're really talking hobby farm amounts here, which is all I care about - enough money to cover expenses on land I enjoy for other purposes.

On the family land in CA, there are much fewer possible deductions, because the farmer does everything. What you rely on there was land appreciation. Which it did like crazy, until last year when when CA government decided to affect the market with water regs. My dad and I only have 80 acres left there now under lease, and the plan is to sell it when the lease is up in two years, but who knows what we'll get. Could be a lot if the water thing is Trumpified, could be very little if it's Newsomified.

The lease on that 80 acres is about 20% of what we could get as interest/dividends for the current value of the land, invested at Vanguard at ~4%. And I just spent $95K on a new pump and well there two years ago. Vanguard never makes me drill wells.

Buying Ag ground is just part of their investments, not the only nest egg. Taxes and land maintenance are not in my rough numbers I gave. I'm just relying the same story I have heard from all the producers I work with.

I'm waiting for the correction to buy 40-160 acres. I should of bought land 20 years ago, but there was no way I could of swung the $1200-2k per acre price for prime farm ground in the late 90s.

It was very bizarre, like he was doped up on something. Then there is the video of him nibbling his wifes finger during her speech. Just odd in a disturbing way.

15 left now. With 11 of those polling under 5% and 5 of those at 1% or less.

Bloomberg just jumped in so while he is only at 4% now we don't what his trend is yet.

That leaves 10 candidates that have got to know they have no chance so we might see a rash of candidates quitting.

Though I see some staying in for reasons other than trying to win the nomination this time.

Williamson might be legit crazy, Yang can build for the future, Booker might carry his Spartacus delusion forward and Steyer hates Trump so much that his quitting might appear as a win for Trump, so he can't back out.

I keep thinking quotes like what Ben posted above will make sure Bloomberg is less of a threat than some people think, but I have to admit that the other candidates have also said some crazy stuff and they are not yet at zero. 

The only part that makes me think Bloomberg might be formidable is he already has gun control organizations and paid activists set up in 50 states.  I am just not sure how much that matters.

Just checked the polling again and Biden is averaging 27%.

Who are these people?

How is it that Joe Biden inspires this sort of commitment?

Do people support him because they like him and or his policies or is it because they think he'll have Obama in his corner helping him out as an unofficial advisor? And that way it's sort of like voting for Obama again?

Biden willing to destroy thousands of blue-collar jobs in pursuit of a green economy.
 (https://thefederalist.com/2019/12/19/joe-biden-pledges-to-eliminate-blue-collar-jobs-for-green-economy/)

Maybe even hundreds of thousands.

Way to go Joe.

The type of folks who believe in this green economy thing were going to vote for the Dem candidate regardless because they're idealists and have a fantastical (not fantastic) view of what society can become. But the blue-collar workers don't share that. They may very well want a more environmentally cleaner country but not at the expense of their jobs.

They need to feed their families today, pay their rent/mortgage and utilities this month, put savings away this year and so forth.

Biden has just made himself an existential threat to them.   

And this doesn't help:

Quote
Biden claimed that blue collar workers could transition into higher paying jobs, but did not lay out plan on how he would magically accomplish that if elected.

We were told that displaced people would transition into higher paying jobs because of free-trade. Didn't happen. It's a sham.

I'm sure the BC workers know that it's a sham.

So Biden has threatened and lied to a major voting bloc. 

Wow.

Hopefully the BC workers have a long-enough memory for this to matter.

Bernie Sanders widens his lead in the California Democratic primary:

https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Bernie-Sanders-California-poll-Warren-Biden-new-15016831.php

Quote
A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll of likely voters released Tuesday shows that Sanders is leading the field with 26 percent of survey respondents. He's followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 20 percent and former Vice President Joe Biden at 15 percent. No other candidate reached double-digit support, with South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg coming the closest at seven percent support.

If he has similar success in other Democrat strongholds like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois, the convention could be quite interesting.

The fact that the two most uber-leftist candidates (Sanders and Warren) are the most popular in California says something about that state.

Quote
Mike Bloomberg defended stop and frisk: "I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. It’s exactly the reverse of what they’re saying. I don’t know where they went to school but they certainly didn’t take a math course or a logic course."

Sort of an irritating thing, and I can't believe I'm semi-defending Bloomberg, but heard on the teevee this morning:

People are apparently going after Bloomberg for a statement he made during the "mortgage crisis" about how gov was mostly to blame for forcing banks to give bad loans all for the sake of "not discriminating against minorities." He was actually correct, but is taking flak for it, and the dumbass is backpedaling his comments for his new base.

Also irritating was that a conservative talking head was bashing him for the original statement, which had to be because Bloomberg is a dem candidate. I still greatly dislike Bloomberg, but I think the "broken clock" analogy applies. Don't automatically take the contrary line just because you don't like the person.

I guess this is legal, but it kinda seems like it shouldn't be. If I understand the story correctly, Bloomberg is paying a whole bunch of lawyers that are basically working as "contractors" for liberal-leaning state attorneys to push their agendas and resources past where the tax dollars assigned by budgets would allow.

This seems a bit shady compared to say, NGOs working on those agendas separately.

My favorite part of Bloomberg's comments about farming is that he actually says he can teach people how to farm (which would be precious enough all by itself), just before he demonstrates how very, very little he knows about that subject. I hope, if there's an opening, President Trump will nominate him for SecAg. Just for about 24 hours of course, and then rescind it. Just long enough for some lulz.

The closest I've ever heard to that is "deer camp." Could be anything from a shack to a furnished cabin, but for hunting trips.

The closest I've ever heard to that is "deer camp." Could be anything from a shack to a furnished cabin, but for hunting trips.

If you say "summer camp" around here, we'd think you were talking about those places well-off families send their children.

I grew up in New England, and that's the way I've always heard it.

But then there are those "cottages" that dot the coast of New England ...

Snopes also clarified that in the event a candidate does say anything that sounds untrue/conservative, they will automatically conclude that the individual had pure intentions and meant something completely different. As a very last resort, they may change a particular rating to “mixed,” assuming some context was missing.

At publishing time, Snopes had also released a fact-check for all future statements by President Trump, rating them all as “False.”

Sanders:  "I have no idea how much all this free stuff is going to cost"

https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/24/politics/bernie-sanders-donald-trump-2020/index.html

Quote
Cooper: Do you know how all -- how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for -- for all of this?

Sanders: We do. I mean, you know, and -- and-- the price tag is -- it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. I think it's about $30 trillion.

Cooper: That's just for "Medicare for All," you're talking about?

Sanders: That's just "Medicare for All," yes.

Cooper: Do you have -- a price tag for all of these things?

Sanders: No, I don't. We try to -- no, you mentioned making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling all student debt, that's correct. That's what I want to do. We pay for that through a modest tax on Wall Street speculation.

Cooper: But you say you don't know what the total price is, but you know how it's gonna be paid for. How do you know it's gonna be paid for if you don't know how much the price is?

Sanders: Well, I can't -- you know, I can't rattle off to you every nickel and every dime. But we have accounted for -- you -- you talked about "Medicare for All." We have options out there that will pay for it.

What? So, Sanders not only a) isn't sure how much all of his proposals would cost but also b) isn't able to say how he would pay for these programs.
That strikes me as a potential weak spot if/when Sanders winds up as the Democratic nominee against President Donald Trump.

Do you think Bloomberg makes any money on his media outfit? The rest of left-wing press are struggling. Are Bloomberg terminals still a thing? Is that how he's raking in all that cash?

Yes, Bloomberg Terminals are still very much a thing.

And it's been a client software suite on a PC instead of a dedicated terminal for years now. And it costs about $24,000 a year, with a two year lease/license per person. It is discounted to $20,000 a year if you have 2 or more terminals at your company. Bloomberg has about 1/3rd of a million users, and if you assume most are in an office/firm with more than one terminal, it's the $20,000 a year price, and that puts the gross revenue of Bloomberg Info Sys at about 6.5 Billion a year. And that's not counting additional upgrades and products they sell, like access to certain exchanges or markets above the basic access, or stock/portfolio research information you can pay to have appear in the terminal, which can cost several thousand more.

For certain kinds of stock and bond trading, Bloomberg is the defacto standard and there aren't really any other good options.

When I worked IT at an investing fund firm, they had about 400 seats total in the company, and about 20% of them had Bloomberg on their PC's.

When he says "We say here", I guess he is talking about arrogant rich guys from the Northeast?   I don't really care if someone says Tejas or not, but coming from him it is just more crazy nonsense.  He might as well lecture the reporters on how to make the best chilli.

Loved the boat horn ploy.  I'm sure the horn pressure gauge was maxed out.

Great question by citizen, crappy answer by Bloomberg.

QUOTE FROM LINK:  ""You have an armed security detail that is likely equipped with the same firearms and magazines you seek to ban the common citizen from owning. Does your life matter more than mine or my family's?"

I'll bet that one sent his highly paid PR Army into the back room to figure out a good lie for a better answer.

It's super Tuesday, I have a couple predictions.

Beer virus will keep people away from the polls, which will be bad for the D party. Bernie bros will show up and give him a win. Biden will say it's super Thursday at some point.

:rofl: You meanie, you.  Cruel, cruel, cruel. =D

"We say Tejas here!"

That's the way to establish comradeship with Texans, Mike.  I bet that also sent his highly-paid PR Army into the back room.

See the famous cover of the New Yorker magazine to understand what New Yorkers think of the rest of the U.S.:

Things like this make it quite apparent Dems just vote for whomever they are supposed to vote for.

How can ANY person listen to Joe Biden and think he's exactly what we need?

Unless what you need is, "Where can I get a great example of someone in early to middle stages of dementia?" you just aren't paying attention.

Maybe, but it's mixed with a heavy dose of "the Republican president has killed half of us through net neutrality and tax cuts, and he'll kill the rest if you don't stop him." When you go overboard with "anybody but Trump," you really get people willing to vote for anybody but Trump.  =|

Also, I wasn't thinking about it, but it looks like having "the squad" in his court isn't helping Sanders much, or having the opposite effect. Biden didn't even show up in MI (sister-wife's home state) and apparently wiped the floor with Bernie. I guess people there outside the city don't like commies to the point that they'll vote for the senile guy.

This seems to be another indication that Trump has this thing in the bag. If Bernie does somehow become the nominee, working class dems are going to stay home before they vote for a commie. If Biden gets the nomination, Trump's PR machine is going to make him look as crazy as Grandpa Simpson.

We're looking at a best case scenario here.  Biden bests Bernie, but not in a landslide.  Bernie bots go apeshit thinking it was fixed, disrupt the convention, and potentially go so far as to start a write in campaign for Bernie.

I think most of us know the Samoan Democrats favored Michael Bloomberg in the primary. Only slightly less well-known - they also awarded Tulsi Gabbard her very first delegate. Now being ignorant of all things Samoan, I can only wonder why they bucked the trend, and went with Bloomberg, or why they are the only ones to find Gabbard worthy of a delegate. I submit that Gabbard’s lonely delegate explains the mystery of Bloomberg’s Samoan surprise. I think the Samoans feel a kinship with their fellow islanders; Gabbard being Hawaiian, and Bloomberg hailing from, of course, Lilliput.

Viewed the other way, $500,000,000 spread out to 375,000,000 people works out (according to my <$10 Radio Shack calculator) to about $1.33 per person. It would be a nice gesture, but nobody would retire on it.

Financial disclosure forms from Persist PAC, a Super PAC for former 2020 Democratic contender Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., show the vast majority of her money came from a single donor.

According to financial records, the majority of Persist PAC’s money came from Karla Juvertson, a mega-rich physician and political organizer living in Silicon Valley. She donated a whopping $14.6 million to Warren’s Super PAC.

Trump's campaign ads continue to write themselves.

Quote
The very day that Trump issued his travel ban on people coming from China, former Vice President Joe Biden attacked Trump at a campaign rally, saying, ““In moments like this, this is where the credibility of a president is most needed, as he explains what we should and should not do. This is no time for Donald Trump’s record of hysteria and xenophobia, hysterical xenophobia, to uh, and fear mongering,”

After Trump implemented the travel ban from Europe, Biden tweeted, “A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe — or any other part of the world — will not stop it.”

Although people fault Clinton for neglecting WI and MI, I'm not sure she was wrong to avoid them.

From all evidence, it seemed the more people see of her, the more they dislike her. Going to WI and MI may have been counterproductive.

I say that because I'm fairly certain Biden is going to fall into that situation, too. Replace "dislike her", though, with "question his mental stability."

Democrats PANIC As Trump Hits ANOTHER Polling Record And Biden Is Useless, Dems Riddled With Anxiety

I tend to not take this stuff for granted.  George HW Bush came out of the First Gulf War with astronomical approval ratings, far higher than what Trump is seeing now.  Eighteen months later, after earlier reneging on a campaign promise and raising taxes and arguably causing the 1992 recession, Clinton handed his fanny to him in the '92 election.
Trump could very easily lose reelection in November.  In fact, I think he will after the economic fallout from the COVID-19 crisis.  If in fact COVID-19 infects and kills less people than a typical flu season, the Democrats will claim Trump is to blame for ruining the economy unnecessarily because of it.

Just to clarify, Clinton did NOT hand Bush Sr his fanny.  He squeaked by against a damaged candidate with a 3rd party challenger pulling R votes away.  The vote count was something like 43% to Clinton with Bush Sr at about 37%.  Ross Perot didn't win any states, but wiki says he got nearly 19% of the vote.  That hurt Bush Sr a lot more than Clinton did.  Without Perot, enough of those Perot voters might have held their noses and voted for Bush.  I don't think any of the recently leftist 3rd party candidates have gotten so many votes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_United_States_presidential_election

It is probably for the best that Bush Sr lost.  Anti-gun executive orders is one of the things he did that cost him reelection.  If he had knuckled under and passed the AWB, it may not have had the 10 year sunset and voters may not have voted out the Democrats in the House in 1994.

The politics are execrable as usual, but the way they rib each others as brothers, or "Mom said this", and "Mom always said" type of stuff they shoot at each other in this deadpan way like it's an interview going bad when it really isn't is genuinely funny.

Well, it was in theater management, she liked to be back stage, or in the control booth. So lots of organizational and project management like skills in her weelhouse. She just wasn't ever exposed to a lot of history or science. And before the kids she was an Account Exec. for a direct mail marketing company.

But as you can imagine, two sets of twins 11 months apart, there was no going back to work for her. Even if we wanted to do daycare, it would have eaten up whatever she made immediately.

Now she's the founder of a new public charter high school. (long story) And that keeps her busy.

Face coverings in public will be a big part of getting back to normal.  Don't be shocked when it includes temperature checks to go into some locations.


I don't think the rule was what he was objecting to.

I can't help but object to both.

Not that I'm against you wearing a mask if you make that choice. I just don't think I can I accept being told by government to cover my face, especially not in summer temperatures.

And everyone should object to it, when it's by executive order, and with such heavy fines.

What do you mean "don't be shocked"? I've already had a couple of people tell me they've run into this. Doesn't seem to be any big secret.

I think the face coverings will mainly be needed by the comedians who've been cracking wise about millions of Americans losing their jobs. You won't want to be recognized, I think.

In the grocery store today (Chicago burbs) about half of the folks were wearing masks.

I'm using a bandanna when I go as I have no masks. It goes in the laundry after one use.

I have two N95 masks; I alternate them.  I wear the mask, when I get home I wash my hands (probably an unnecessary step), take off the mask and spray it with Lysol and put it away, wash hands again.  My mom made me a bunch of washable masks with 4 thicknesses of bed sheet material, but I'll reuse the real N95's for a while.

Talk big from behind a keyboard.  Grumble about it.  Wear a mask without admitting it on APS.  Am I getting warmer?

Jamis and RKL, do you have specific criticisms of what fistful has actually said instead of petulant strawman accusations?  It doesn't strike me as particularly absurd - especially on APS - to say that there are some good things that the government still shouldn't be empowered to arbitrarily enforce with criminal penalties.

fistful, I know Jamis has done a terrible job of showing any concern or empathy for people outside his own highly protected economic bubble, but do you really think he doesn't care at all about people who typically live paycheck to paycheck and have not been able to work for a month or two, and probably have no prospects of returning to work any time soon?  He clearly prioritizes anything that he thinks might help with fighting infection rates, and to be fair to you it does not help the way he sarcastically dismisses anyone who doesn't toe the same line, but I don't think he is as blind to the direct and immediate and lasting economic pain as he might seem.

The circus is over, so I guess we may as well lock this one.

There are other places where we can decide who is the true heir to Patrick Henry.

Cricket In CNN Newsroom Gives Detailed Report On Biden Allegations

The cricket chirped for a full three minutes, representing the full extent of the coverage that viewers would receive over Biden's sexual assault accusations. When he had finished chirping, they moved the cricket back into his cage for the next time they needed a detailed report on a Democratic scandal. The cricket was very busy during the Obama years.

My criticism is that he's inferring it's time to go electric boogaloo.  So yes, I was being a little strawman about it.  Part of me would like to see some money where the mouth is moments from that type of talk.

And we're at the tipping point where social distancing has slowed and has or will peak the virus cases and deaths in many areas.  So the road ahead means that most have a higher chance of suffering financial ruin than any direct impact of the virus.  We could potentially enter into an actual depression.  I have friends losing jobs and businesses, so I'm quite directly sympathetic to that.
I've said before, it's a damned if they do and damned if the don't moment.  Kill a million citizens or crater the economy.

See, I was sure you weren't really as cavalier about the crushing economic burden the virus response has caused for some people as you've come across in some of your posts when addressing people who have expressed concern about it.

I must have completely and utterly missed that implication from fistful.  Could you point to where he hinted at that?

To be honest it's probably just the way I read it, and his subsequent statements, at the time. Because coming back to it, it's really not boogaloo quality. But I still count it as keyboard tough talk.

 ???  I didn't know that "objecting" to things was tough guy talk. I didn't know that "I just don't think I can accept" was tough guy talk. If anything, the latter has more to do with my being a wimp about heat and humidity.

That pretty well sums it up. The corollary is that, regardless of which way the President or any state's governor goes, half the population will say it's the wrong decision. Trump might as well just flip a coin.
