Actually you are both right, sort of I am in TN now. I used to live in FL. I moved up here 8 years ago.

I swear you've talked about gun laws in California as if you were in California though GD. Anyways, that's cleared up now.

I just pay attention to the news, that's all. Plus I read stuff from lots of newspaper sites. I think it's still the best way to get real news even if it's no longer "paper".

 

One nice thing, I have a subscription to the Commercial Appeal, the local paper. If you sign up for the print you get the online access included. They also give you access to all the sites of other papers owned by the parent company, Ganett. So get full access to a dozen or so other publications including one in Australia. It's the best way to get the local flavor without actually going there.

 

It sucks a little that som many newspaper site are putting up paywalls. But if you buy in the give you your money's worth most of the time. Plus journalists have to eat and pay bills too.

You can sometimes get around the paywalls (at least the monthly ones) by opening in a private window. Works for WaPo and NYT.

*quick read o' recent pages*

 

see we missed funny stuff.

 

in any event, the following is a bit dated at this point, but occurred almost immediate before the most recent reports o' mcmaster being targeted for removal from wh by the end o' the month.

 

 

audio and video is oddly synced for us... if the state department link is too annoying, try the following:

 

 

hardly a shock trump wants mcmaster gone, eh?

 

HA! Good Fun!

In related news, the CLOUD Act recently became part of Congress' omnibus spending bill. It allows law enforcement to demand data from sites like Google and Facebook without needing a warrant. Sounds terribly unconstitutionally, but they're sticking it in there anyways.

Literally voted against a law similar to CLOUD Act in a referendum yesterday. Too bad referendums in the Netherworlds are non-binding advisory and the gov's just going to ignore it. :(

We don't even get that much say in what our politicians do

 

We just select the "lesser of two evils" then they go do whatever they want for 2 or 6 years then mostly likely (80-90% chance) get reelected

Citigroup Becomes First Major Bank to Restrict Some Gun Sales

 

Citigroup Inc. plans to prohibit retailers that are customers of the bank from offering bump stocks or selling guns to people who haven’t passed a background check or are younger than 21.

 
The bank is imposing the restrictions on companies that use it to issue store credit-cards or for lending and other services, according to a memo Thursday. The lender also barred the sale of high-capacity magazines.

 

Thoughts?

...Doesn't really seem like something a bank should be involved with.

Well...sort of. Primaries are where we're supposed to select our candidates that are supposed to better represent our interests, but we're notoriously bad at bothering with them. With people never bothering to actually vote in the primaries, it's not a surprise that the candidates are often terrible.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

I suppose theres a slight silver lining in that while his ire has been mainly at Iran and NK, I don't imagine him having any love at all for Russia.

The opposite, actually. He has been pro-Russia over at least the last few years.

Really? I wonder what his opinion is on the election meddling and stuff then.

There is only one solution to the Russian problem, bomb Iran.

If he's like most other Republicans, I imagine he's somewhere between quietly and loudly for it.

Yep, Bolton never met a problem that couldn't be solved by bombing someone, preferably Iran. It will be 'fun' to see if the rest of the west contorts itself to support it or if it causes an actual split like Iraq did, but either way Bolton never met a foreign affairs problem that couldn't be bombed out of existence. Well, except Afghanistan and Iraq but they totally would have worked if people had just listened to him and upped the bombing until it worked.
