Based on Chuckie's post, one player actually spoke and he agreed with his message, but then Chuckie looked around and assumed 80% of the fans and 90% of the players were MAGA. Just based on looks. He couldn't enjoy a Savannah Bananas game because 90+% of the players (in uniform, mind you) LOOKED like they were probably MAGA.
I see you've adopted the ChickenSandwich and Ani approach to the CR lately - ignore everything going on, and smugly criticize Surly's reaction to the events. Swell.

Percy Jackson?
25 minutes ago, Foosters said:Anyone have some recs for my 9 year old daughter who is powering through books above her level? She has read all of the Percy Jackson books and their spinoffs, and this summer she read all of the Harry Potter books, and is now re-reading them. She also just read Tales of Despereaux and Ms. Frisby and the Rats of Nihm - both of which she enjoyed. I've got the Narnia books lined up. Lord of the Rings too advanced? She did tell me the other day that she really prefers fantasy, magic, etc. We tried the Redwall series about a year ago, but I think that may have been too soon, so she's not that interested in trying again.
Just seems like she's in a weird period where she's probably not mature enough for some of teen content, but is advanced enough that she' may find books targeted at her age not much of a challenge?

So, in this alternate reality of yours where #46's age and mental acuity wasn't a daily mainstream discussion topic for over two years, what are your thoughts on #47's daily, incoherent, senile, racist grandpa ramblings being almost entirely ignored by the same mainstream?
And yet another example of a "conservative" penning paragraphs of invective against Dems and their policies, and disappears when shown IDENTICAL behavior by their side. Happens on a daily basis around here.

One helluva headline:
'A terrible feeling': Man who deported thousands of people learns he's undocumented
https://abc7chicago.com/post/raul-rodriguez-border-patrol-us-military-cbp/12883822/
QuoteRodriguez says he had no idea he'd been born in Mexico before his father's confession that day, but he knew immediately how serious the situation was. He'd spent nearly two decades working for the US government at the border.
By his estimates, he'd helped deport thousands of people while working for US Customs and Border Protection and before that, for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Suddenly, he found himself on the opposite end of the spectrum, fighting for a chance to stay in the United States.
He lost so much so quickly after that: his job at CBP, his friends in law enforcement, his sense of self. He hasn't seen his father since that day in April 2018 and says he never wants to speak with him again.

That's a really good point, I'm certainly fine with pulling from other social programs/welfare to make that happen. Not their fault who their parents are I suppose. Also, would have been nice to see more than a snipped of the definition. Unless lack of empathy is the only characteristic of Psychopathy.
Pennies make dollars, and defense and corporations are actually purposeful.
Swing and a miss. Aren't you in criminal defense? I wouldn't worry about me.

We were looking around at the folks there and wondering how most were able to afford/justify it. For 4 of us to eat and go on a couple of rides was pushing $300.
I wonder the same about baseball games, and well, shit, just about any form of live entertainment these days.

QuoteA federal grand jury refused to return an indictment in this case. This was once unheard of, but has become common as of late. Typically, when a federal grand jury refuses to return an indictment in a case, either the government takes the message as a warning to go no further or, hopefully in only the rarest of cases, presents the indictment again to another federal grand jury. To this judge’s knowledge, what has never happened before is doing an end run around the federal grand jury completely. Yet that is what has happened today.
QuoteToday, prosecutors again presented a single count federal indictment against the defendant, but this time before a Superior Court grand jury. After receiving a true bill from that local grand jury, prosecutors sought to return the federal indictment in federal court. At a minimum, this is very unseemly; more than likely, it is unlawful. Not to mention, this only deepens the growing mistrust of the actions of prosecutors.
That is a sentiment that was once unthinkable, but the irregular is now the regular. See Fed. Educ. Ass’n v. Trump, No. 25-1362, 2025 WL 2355747, at *11 (D.D.C. Aug. 14, 2025) (Judge Friedman, a renowned former prosecutor and judge, recently collected cases addressing this topic, and concluded that “n just six months, the President of the United States may have forfeited the right to [] a presumption of regularity.”). Prosecutors used to not look for loopholes. They sought justice and respected the decisions of juries, favorable or not.

Progressives are the folks who are fucking things up? You are going to have to explain this one to me. Here is what I see-
The democrats have spent decades throwing the marginalized under the bus to appease moderates like you. The 94 crime bill comes to mind. They have not run on identity politics at all, and have largely only gotten the marginalized vote out of no other options.
Where you seem to be getting your idea of identity politics is the Republicans ability to attach all the marginalized groups to the Dems regardless of the fact that the Dems have largely tried to distance themselves from them on their platform. It's Republicans that are talking about Trans volleyball players. Its Republicans that are talking about men in women's bathrooms. It's Republicans that are talking about cat litter boxes in schools. It's Republicans that are talking about illegals being murderers and rapists. Its Republicans that are talking about DEI, and have been for decades talking about black people being a burden on the system. It's Republicans saying that Dems are trying to open borders to increase their voting pool.
So you see, Progressives aren't doing anything to "fuck things up". What you are seeing is Republicans successfully attaching everything to the Democratic party simply by pointing out what marginalized groups vote for it. As long as black, brown, and lgbtq people vote D, the Rs will always use that to rile up their base. Meanwhile, the Democrats keep serving up Chuck Shumers and wonder why they keep losing elections. You think Progressives are the problem when its the opposite.
part of the problem is that the GOP will elevate some random's tweet as the national Dem policy.
Oh, look at this woman - who's running for city council in Portland - saying that police funding should be slashed! Dems want Anarchy!
And then the people who only casually pay attention, see this regurgitated by every conservative media outlet, TikTok video, Podcast, etc., and think "hmmm, Dems are crazy!"

8 hours ago, ztejas said:The CR deserves a better level of antagonism.
I appreciate you coming here seeking honest discourse. I think a lot of the antagonism you're receiving is based on your dismissal of Harris based on nebulous vibes and feelings. Is there something about her policy or platform you disagreed with? is there something that appeals to you about the Trump/GOP platform?
TBH, a lot of the hate towards the Dems on a national level are based on untruths, intentional misinterpretations, and stereotypes. I've mentioned this on other threads, but take a look at the legislation passed every year in California - worker protections, improving access to healthcare for all, union protections, protecting LGTBQ, sensible gun legislation, women's reproductive freedom, etc. Take a look at Harris's platform in 2024. Compare that to what's happening in Texas, other GOP states, and Project 2025 (which at this point is obviously being implemented.) But if you take a passing look at the national media, you'd think that all they do out there is make Furries the official state animal, and give "illegals" checks every month. When you compare the two, which one is more appealing to you?
We need to stop voting or siding with parties/candidates based on vibes and gut feelings. Read and compare the legislation put forward by candidates. Study their policy positions. It doesn't take that much time. When you see GOP politicians whose platforms solely involve things like "making America more free, protecting our God given rights, and fighting for the constitution, ask yourself why they are unable to articulate any tangible policy. The answer is simple - their policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans. That's not an opinion - polling overwhelmingly supports this. So they deal in platitudes and feel-good slogans that, in a vacuum, are difficult to criticize.
If one is a voting for the GOP these days, it really only makes sense if you fall into one of the below categories: 1) Top .01% and/or 2) believe America was a better place when their was both intentional or de facto discrimination against Blacks, women, and immigrants.
And that's not even considering the current administration who just yesterday declared that Americans in the largest cities are the "enemy from within" and that they will be gleefully sending American troops into those cities to teach them a lesson. You should be able to see why when someone stands in the middle while this is happening, they are, at best, mocked, and more typically, reviled.

Memoir by a Taiwanese-American kid who went to UC Berkely in the 90's as he tried to figure out an identity despite always feeling like a foreign kid. Found A LOT that I could relate to, despite being the WASPy kid that he was desperately trying to reject

It's pretty fucking insane that a bunch of people collectively decided to burn down the most powerful empire the world has ever known basically because they were bored.
QuoteWe were spoiled, I think I am trying to say. As were those on the other side: willing to tear it all down because they had been so thoroughly nourished by the vacuous plenty in which we all lived, a bountiful condition that allowed people to thrive and opine and swagger around like kings and queens while remaining ignorant of their own history.
