Didn't read it but am ever more of the opinion less is more. This includes the Reagan Library. If I were prez I do my job and leave. The End. I don't want a library or some other crap that will presumably cost the taxpayers more money. If it doesn't cost the taxpayers money than by all means do what you want. However, unlike some of the people in office I'd like to believe I am a true fiscal conservative.

A Moment of Retarded? A Moment of Trump Worm? A Moment of Politically Convenient? About on par with the first ICE shooting where people actually donated a million to gofundme for the agent who shot the woman in the car. :confused:


During the Minnesota Republican Party's endorsement convention held in Duluth, delegates voted to hold a brief moment of silence and prayer for Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd.

The tribute, proposed from the convention floor by a delegate, sparked intense backlash. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison publicly condemned the action as an act of "profound cruelty" to the Floyd family. State GOP leaders later distanced themselves from the gesture, emphasizing that it was a spontaneous floor action initiated by the body rather than an official party program or platform.
 
I get it George Floyd wasn't the most upstanding person, but a moment of silence and prayer for Derek Chauvin? :oops:
 
Good news is the guy who called for a moment of silence is almost certain to lose.

Listen to the moment of silence MN GOP delegates held for Derek Chauvin • Minnesota Reformer

Kendall Qualls, fresh off the endorsement of Republican state delegates this weekend, was forced to brush off questions Monday about one of the first events at the convention Saturday: A moment of silence for Derek Chauvin, the convicted murderer of George Floyd. In an interview with Chad...

>>>Rocco said in a call with the Reformer that, after Saturday, people in his district, which encompasses parts of St. Paul and West St. Paul, encouraged him to run for Minnesota Senate. He said he plans to file for candidacy Tuesday. He’ll almost certainly lose: Kamala Harris defeated President Donald Trump in the district by more than 50 percentage points. Rocco declined to say who he supported in the endorsement; a photo in the Pioneer Press shows Rocco giving Qualls a hug after Qualls won.<<<
 
Floyd's death is divisive to Republicans because a) he resisted arrest, and c) a riot took place. Basically they'd rather not address b) Chauvin kneeled on his neck for nearly 10 minutes. I imagine many Republicans have not even watched the video, or worse they have and decided to change the narrative. B does not justify C, but I'd have to assume they prefer to pretend B does not exist.

And the ME said he would have been dead from the drugs in his system in a short time but it absolutely should not have happened. OTOH, he shouldn't be presented as a hero and he didn't have any serious crimes once he moved to Minnesota. Helluva job by Chauvin as a training officer, eh?

The crowd did NOTHING to stop the cops and I found that odd- nobody wants to be shot, but they would have to kill everyone and grab the phones & destroy the surveillance cameras in order to get away with it and even then, they'd probably have to clear the whole block. Do you really think nobody in that crowd had a gun? Statistically, I dont think it's likely and I'm not posting that because of racism, it's because so many have guns when they shouldn't AND it's likely that someone was a legal carrier. Even if the crowd had been white as a sheet of paper, SOMEONE would have had a gun.

Riots solve nothing, with the possible exception of destroying buildings and neighborhoods that the city wanted to remove but didn't want to spend the money upfront.

I would like to see cities form groups specifically for interacting with citizen groups for the sole purpose of dealing with these problems before they're out of control, but emotional people don't care about that and they will not wait. Where are the citizen groups, anyway?

I don't know a lot about Minnesota's government and don't want t ouse news blathering about it but I'm not sure it's right to blame Republicans- MLPS is run by Democrats and it was Democrats who destroyed the cities- DFL in the state legislature has a one member advantage. MLPS PD had/has bad officers (I think most PDs do, even if they say they're working on the problem)- multiple cities outside of MLPS had nothing to do with it, yet they suffered.

Wait- a moment of silence for Chauvin? Why?
 
The Vance story above says to me a person who wants to change the Nixon narrative vs comparing himself to something better like Reagan.

On a separate note, it reminds me of that guy up on a high floor of a building. He mooned the people below thinking he was owning them, but all see is your a$$ lol. A good metaphor for the Trump years.
 
If I heard correct that is the sixth straight prime minister in the UK who has resigned before their term ended. Let me guess....it's not a capitalist system and only appeases to the Top 1% and the stock market but not raw business production.
 
Interesting listen if you have the time. I put this here because there's really not that much on Iran but rather the debt and future projection. In other words, the next generation will have more difficulty getting ahead etc etc. He said the interest on debt is a trillion, and by the end of the decade it will double, though I didn't know if he meant the 2020s or 2030s? I haven't been good with my money but am wondering how that shapes the US in the future? Will we become more conservative, less consumption oriented? Hard to believe that's who we are.....though the part about payments on cc's made me laugh. I'd been there and several years back paid off my final cc debt. It was the greatest thing I ever did lol.

I suppose not surprising the debt is rising and the interest on the debt is rising. I imagine the only way in the future is SS will become obsolete.

 
If I were to invest it seems pretty basic for me. No AI/tech or SpaceX stocks and invest in raw commodities for the long term.

What do you expect from the brilliance in the W H. ;) :eek:

Somebody forgot to make that phone call. :D
 
Looks to me like Vance is playing his cards right. You don't hear from him much so that means he's trying to distance himself from Trump.
