TACO at it again!

Let's see if they send National Guard to a red state. Keep going Dallas!

Many Democrats said party officers shouldn’t take sides in primaries, and Martin proposed requiring party leaders to remain neutral in them. Hogg had pitched a compromise, suggesting an internal “firewall” that would bar him from access to sensitive information in primaries his group, Leaders We Deserve, were involved with. But Martin rejected that deal.

“Party officers have one job: to be fair stewards of a process that invites every Democrat to the table — regardless of personal views or allegiances,” Martin said, urging Hogg to stay neutral.

IMO this is what it's all about. They can talk about 'procedure' and 'distractions,' but at the end of the day Hogg has committed to running primary challengers against dead weight Democrats.

TACO Tom

A good time to remind everybody that while rubber bullets are considered "non-lethal," they can kill.

Back in 2004 a college student in Boston died from a bullet that missed its intended target, hit the ground and ricocheted into her eye.

Part of the lawsuit California is filing also makes a point of saying Trump LIED about having a discussion with Newsom before the activation.

So, while the shot certainly wasn't warranted, IMO its worse because of what could have happened because this officer was taking a shot for fun.

I hear you, but I also feel its shortsighted.

The end result is somebody like MGT - who knows she'll never have to defend herself in a race, so she goes way off the deep end.

The party is missing opportunities to tell their side of things and challenge the utter nonsense many GOP candidates spew.

This is one of the biggest failings of the democratic party. For too long they've had the "we aren't going to win there anyway" mentality, just ceding the opportunity to represent different thoughts and beliefs and keep the GOP honest.

I agree. Time for a good old constitutional convention.

I know, I know. Speaking reason and logic again. I'll stop ;-)

Anybody else feel like this might be Russia again?

Sanctions severely hamper individuals' abilities to carry out even routine financial transactions as any banks with ties to the United States, or that conduct transactions in dollars, are expected to have to comply with the restrictions.

Making this move could seem to be a blow against the US banking system, once again undermining our influence in the world.

You know, you have to wonder how different the war might be if Ukraine was allowed to properly defend itself from the beginning.

Let's also not forget Google wants you storing your photos on Google Photos, listening to music on YouTube, buying / renting movies from the Google Store, and streaming from Google TV.

It isn't just YouTube. It's their whole ecosystem.

By the way, I have a NAS setup. Was it pricey? Sure. But it cost about what it would to watch the NFL this year, and should last several years.

I mentioned this in some other threads, but this guy has to have influential/wealthy parents or an uncle or a sugar daddy or something.

It would be one thing if he was some kind of GOP genius (an oxymoron, I know). But the articles make it sound like he's just a guy.

Which tingles my spideysense into thinking he must be a nepobaby.

That ... and his fucking face. Seriously. What a punchable, arrogant face.

Hopefully all those people who voted for Trump (because he's a 'leader') and Musk ('because he's a great business man') are starting to realize they cast their vote for a couple of petulant children who have acquired great wealth because their daddies gave them a few hundred million in starting money.

Hey clip. I believe I stumbled on it from something Kevin Smith did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_CSo1gOd48

If only they did it back in January 2024.

That's a good TACO.

I have one very simple question:

Who ... are ... his ... parents?

Based on his LinkedIn, and what appeared in the story, I'm not sure what sets him apart from thousands of other wannabe MAGA assholes.

Which triggers my spideysense. Well that and the arrogant fucking faces he's putting out into the interwebs like he's Don Juan De La Nooch.

My guess is he's probably a nepo-baby and his folks are either influential or made a 'donation' to get him appointed.

To quote Ocean's Eleven:

"Never heard of him." "That's why I don't doubt it."
