    I'd like Zeus to walk me through the working theory here. So, Bondi - the AG appointed by Trump - had the list? But then the deep state stole it when she wasn't looking? There were no copies? Just one piece of paper? And then she forgot about it and told everyone there wasn't a list?

    Or, Bondi, Patel, Bondingo, et all are also part of the deep state? Which means we're 5 years into Trump taking office to eliminate the deep state and he's instead appointing them to all high level positions?

    Asking Zeus to piece multiple coherent and consistent thoughts together is like asking a monkey to build a rocket that can safely transport a person to the moon.

  2. Man, do you truly not get why people would be annoyed or upset by the “take it to CR!” then locking the CR thread move? To teach the people who are already keeping what you’ve deemed to be CR discussion there a lesson? What lesson, exactly? And what recruiting traffic are we running off in the CR thread?

    I know you don’t think I care about this place and I’m clearly not going to convince you otherwise. But this place, all its assholes aside, has been a shockingly enduring community for a very long damned time now, full of people who care more than any of us would generally like to admit and has genuinely been capable of doing good in the world. I don’t want to see that fucked with because running the site is eating at you.

    I wish I had a solution or some help to offer, but all I’ve got as a normal user who was happy to contribute my tree fiddy for the last five years is this ain’t it man. Just nuking dozens of posts that happen to rub you the wrong way is in no way conducive to maintaining a healthy online community.

    Dude, just stop, seriously. You are allowed to like the CR thread better I'm happy thats what you like. The DT thread is what other people like. You don't have to like or participate in both or either. 

    That's the fucking point. The point is there is no rule restricting conversation. Your job isn't to fuck up the DT thread because you disagree with what it is, you have a fucking place to post and read stuff you align with or are fine reading because it's politically charged. 

    Get the fuck over it and stop fucking with the rest of the board. 

    Man, you literally locked the CR thread. Then nuked the new CR thread complaining about that. Then nuked the posts here complaining about that.
     

    I can’t speak for others, but all I’m asking for is some consistency. You’re going to wake up tomorrow and realize how ridiculous your behavior tonight was. You’re acting like Elon in a k-hole trying to moderate Twitter per his fleeting whims.

  4. Look man, it’s your board so knock yourself out. But if you keep up this Katy at the end of hornfans days shit I’m not going to be the only one cancelling my sub. I even prefaced my criticism by saying moderating is a thankless task and I usually don’t begrudge you for making mod decisions I disagree with, but this is a new low. If you want surly to grow, literally recreating why we all left hornfans isn’t going to help.

    Yikes. Pretty Mamdani does not look lile the vast majority of those who he would represent or will vote for him.

    That's not what I said. I said he looks like he likes and cares about New Yorkers.

  7. He literally wrote in "Uganda" to make it clear why he was checking the African American box. Bozo is assuming 17/18 year old Mamdami and his family understood American racial classifications just like he does and that's not a reasonable assumption to make.  

    I tend to think he's not going to be a good mayor, but I think that because I think it's not really possible to be a GOOD mayor, particularly not in NYC. But this is a ridiculous criticism of him, and as for the critique that he's mostly liked by the laptop class, look at this shit:

    How often do you see a Dem politician who looks like they like and care about the people they're running to represent? Even if he ends up struggling as mayor, this shows an understanding of how to connect with voters that most Dem candidates simply do not have.  All the policy knowledge in the world is useless if you can't get people to like you.

    Texas Fight is arguing so hard against trying to hold anyone accountable that it'd be reasonable to believe he personally dropped the fucking ball here.

    Anyone else notice he hasn’t posted since this?

    No, it's not that specific, but the dog whistle is pretty clear.  And if you really want evidence of it you can scour the internet for it and you'll find things just as scurrilous as what Sade Perkins said in an X comment or whatever it was.

    Well, there’s also all those black folks that got murdered (some by cops) in the wake of the storm.

    I think you are mostly right.

    But those camps are also a fixture down there and probably the highest-population-density areas outside Kerrville proper for 50-60 miles in any direction.

    It prompts the question why local officials didn't get off their asses, call all the camps, or hell, stop by, and say, "hey, you know what's going on with the weather, right?  Do you have a plan?  If not, let's make one right now."

    Right. Like what the fuck else does the Kerr County sheriff’s department have to do that’s more important at that time?

    I’m pretty sure it’s me you’re talking about. Not verbatim, but close. I got word from someone close to the responders. Only to find out that it wasn’t true later. I apologized.

    No, I’m talking about the new guy who totally isn’t Rex who said he had a friend who helped rescue the girls today who confirmed it to him. 

    I think it’s a lot more likely that he’s lying to us than that he’s got a real life friend who lied to him about something this serious.

    No I havent at all. But whatever man. I’ve been crucified here since I joined to ask the Iowa St guys a question about their QB. I’ve got a vested interest in this area and have been directly affected by the flood more than you fucking know, wanted information, and I posted 2 things that were incorrect amongst 10 other correct things I brought to the thread before they were here. 

    “Aw jeez, sure I lied and said a buddy rescued two girls today but that was just a little oopsie. It’s really unfair and mean to hold that against me!”

    Yep. At the camp level, I don’t know what is supposed to happen, but my instinct is that with 800 female kids in one area especially you’d have one or more people on active roving patrol all night long for any number of predatory issues as well as just problems that occur at night with that many kids in one place.  On top of that, the camp should have been aware of the overnight flood watch and been on heightened alert and listening to radio or otherwise getting weather updates, and been ready to take action. It’s difficult to believe any of this happened, but we will see eventually. 
     

    then there’s the local government response. This one is tougher, because it’s not their job to go door to door to make sure everyone is aware. But theee seems to be an extended time delay between the flood warnings and city/county broadcasting of them. And there’s no phone tree for certain areas- especially the places with large congregations of people?  You claim you know that you are in flash flood alley and are no stranger to floods- and you know you don’t have the siren warning system- so what is your procedure?

    What the fuck else do they do? I don't expect a literal door to door alert throughout the county, but the riverside camps with shitty cell coverage and lots of kids in them seem like it'd be worth sending someone to make sure they're aware of the danger.

    The same shit he did two days ago where he said “look of the location of the damthat collapsed to the camp” when NO dam had collapsed and the pic he showed was a part of the camp that was untouched? 

    That was just dumb internet speculation. This was an outright lie.
