Niederhut said: When I went to see 93 year-old Mel Brooks at a showing of Blazing Saddles here in Denver a few years ago, he told that "Depends" joke about himself. As for Trump's history of fecal incontinence, he banned photographers from his golf resorts in 2017 after the paparazzi snagged a photo of him with doo doo on his golf shorts. Mary Trump also confirmed that Donald has a deep doo doo problem. So, not surprisingly, Trump and the right wing Trumpagandists are projecting Donald's doo doo onto Joe Biden. It reminds me of Trump accusing the Clinton Foundation of corruption back in 2016, before the Trump Foundation was investigated and shut down for blatant fraudulence. If Trump is still consuming Big Macs, fries and apple pies and diet coke, of course his 74 year old bowels are in bad shape. I also think Trump honestly thought he was giving those championship college sports teams the royal treatment by providing them with his fast food banquets. Gave him the excuse to indulge himself again. Edited August 29, 2020 by Joe Bauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rabbi said that the McCloskeys were "bullies" who had destroyed some bee hives on their property line, set up by the children so that the community could have some honey for Rosh Hashana.

Steve Thomas Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 New Trump Rule Could Create ‘Bomb Trains,’ Environmentalists Say The administration has a ‘wildly unsafe’ plan to transport liquified natural gas on railroads, with tanks carrying enough explosive power to level a city, according to a new lawsuit By Tessa Stuart https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/bomb-trains-1046481/ “A new Trump administration rule relaxing guidelines that govern the transport of liquefied natural gas could create “bomb trains” with enough explosive power to level whole cities, environmental groups say. A coalition of organizations led by the nonprofit Earthjustice has sued the administration, challenging the rule, which is scheduled to go into effect on Monday. Separately, 14 states and the District of Columbia are also suing the Trump administration to review the rule and declare it unlawful. The National Transportation Safety Board and the National Association of State Fire Marshals oppose it as well. Under the new rule, trains would be allowed to transport up to 30,000 gallons of liquified natural gas (LNG) per tank, significantly more than has ever been allowed in the U.S., and there will be no restrictions on the number of LNG tanker cars in a particular train, nor on the routes these trains may travel, so they will be free to pass through dense population centers. According to figures cited in Earthjustice’s challenge, just 22 tank cars could produce the equivalent energy of the Hiroshima bomb. The rule change, fast-tracked by the administration after being introduced by Trump in an executive order in April 2019, comes as part of the president’s reckless agenda to expand America’s fossil fuel exports. But shifting LNG transport to the railways could be a catastrophe, the lawsuits assert. “There’s a very good reason liquefied natural gas has never been shipped by rail in this country, and that’s because it’s wildly unsafe,” said Joseph Otis Minott, executive director of the Clean Air Council, which joined the lawsuit with Earthjustice. “I don’t want these dangerous trains going through my neighborhood, and trust me, you don’t either.” “ Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Andrews Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Kyle Rittenhouse, age 17, firing on protestors in Kenosha. Two dead, one injured. Courtesy of the McCloskeys' example.

James DiEugenio Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Here is more on Kyle. This is a direct result of Trump and Scott Walker and their politics of polarization. This was caused by something called the Kenosha Guard who put up an online bulletin to call in their members on the second day. But Scott is from Illinois. There should be an inquiry into this, as to who put up the ad in the first place and who allowed it to run. When the result is two dead and one wounded from a 17 year old from out of state? I think that violates some laws. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/08/26/kyle-rittenhouse-charged-kenosha-protest-shootings-militia/5634532002/ Edited August 27, 2020 by James DiEugenio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James DiEugenio Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Apparently, the RIttenhouse kid was only about 35 minutes away in Illinois. Secondly, he tried to surrender last night but the police did not arrest him! I really hope that is not true. But apparently the cops were very friendly with the militia types, tossing them cold bottles of water. This association, between the cops and the militias is something that is really dangerous and worrisome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James DiEugenio Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I am not a lawyer, but this is what they nailed Mike Vick on with his dogfights, that he crossed state lines in setting them up. They took down the ad pretty fast from what I read. Consciousness of guilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bulman Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 This is all so ridiculous in so many ways. The cops shooting an unarmed man 7 times in front of his kids? A Armed Seventeen Year Old responding to a call from a militia whose assistance was specifically refused by the Sheriff. Why in hell were they not told to back off, stand down? No, a cop on site says we appreciate you, we really do. I think a bomb just went off and the prez likely appreciates it. The kid will likely be a martyr for killing antifa by his base. A rallying point. Is it too late to get him on the RNC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
