    Germany is looking for European neighbors to join them in their proposed ABM system.. The system will be the Israeli Arrow 3, not really Ironic, as the Israeli Navy has been built in German shipyards. (Especially submarines, since U.S. yards don’t build non-SSNs) The irony will be that Putin for years has opposed the construction of any BMD System in Europe. Although opposing the Ground Based Midcourse defense system being deployed in Poland backfired. We replaced it with a shore based Aegis Ashore, although the particular MK41 VLS Cells used in this system supposedly don’t have the ability to launch Tomahawks, just Standard SAM/ABMs.

    Unlike THAAD, Arrow 3 has had a combat victory, shooting down an errant Syrian SAM that entered Israeli territory on a ballistic arc.

    Interesting feature of the NASAMS system that the US and Norway are sending to Ukraine. It can fire several types of missiles but was built around the AIM-120;AMRAAM, plenty of available missiles for it, especially the A-model, which air forces may be replacing soon anyway.

    The US Military uses NASAMS to protect Washington DC, although the first battery wasn’t ordered until after 9/11.

    Rent Going Up? One Company’s Algorithm Could Be Why.
    https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-realpage-rent

    On a summer day last year, a group of real estate tech executives gathered at a conference hall in Nashville to boast about one of their company’s signature products: software that uses a mysterious algorithm to help landlords push the highest possible rents on tenants.

    One of the algorithm’s developers told ProPublica that leasing agents had “too much empathy” compared to computer generated pricing.

    By then, YLB, you might realize that the result of a state legislative seat election matters not one bit to the US Senate Majority Leader. Silly twats like YLB say the stupidest shit.

    Hey Bob, thought you might like this.

    Tonight I met up with a firend of my realtor here in Delaware. My realtor is a Repuke but I’ll be friendly and call him a Republican. Knowing that I was buying a home in a place where I don’t know anyone (except a coworker from NYC and his wife), my Realtor introduced me to a coworker of his (whom is gay). He is also a Repbulican. It was great meeting him and his partner and a freind of theirs. Hate to say it, other than the politics of Conservatism, kind of changed my outlook a bit.

    It’s unfortunate conservative pols have to be the assholes that they are though.

    Nine days until the debate between Oz and Moobs McDroolski. Or maybe his wife – de facto Democrat candidate for US Senate in PA, according to Rolling Stone – will show up for it instead.

    I was thinking about Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s perpetual-loser portfolio – of late he has crowed about his purchases of AT&T, Citigroup, and 3M only to see each one of them tank bigly – and it made me think of those European debtor nations.

    Remember PIGS, the acronym for Portugal, Italy, Greece, and Spain?

    It might now be more accurately replaced with JIGS UP – Japan, Italy, Greece, Singapore, United States, Portugal.

    The US is in worse shape from a federal debt perspective, now, than Italy and Portugal. Thanks, First Vegetable Joe Biden!

    Democrats caused runaway inflation. Voters know it. Hey, don’t blame me. It’s in the New York Times.

    Democratic candidates in competitive Senate races this fall have spent little time on the trail or the airwaves touting the centerpiece provisions of their party’s $1.9 trillion economic rescue package, which party leaders had hoped would help stave off losses in the House and Senate in midterm elections. In part, that is because the rescue plan has become fodder for Republicans to attack Democrats over rapidly rising prices, accusing them of overstimulating the economy with too much cash.

    The economic aid, which was intended to help keep families afloat amid the pandemic, included two centerpiece components for households: the direct checks of up to $1,400 for lower- to middle-class individuals and an expanded child tax credit, worth up to $300 per child per month. It was initially seen as Mr. Biden’s signature economic policy achievement, in part because the tax credit dramatically reduced child poverty last year. Polls suggested Americans knew they had received money and why — giving Democrats hope they would be rewarded politically.

    Instead, Americans know they were bribed by Democrats with “free” money in hopes of propping up a doddering First Vegetable Joe Biden.

    I have to say, there is some delicious karma in the knowledge that Democrats will lose control of Congress AND YLB’s kids will be fucked for a generation due to the bribery effort.

    Buncha bullshit this week on a supposed difference between transmission and infection.

    The vaccines worked. Those who were vaccinated suffered less morbidity and mortality.

    I do think that there are cohorts of individuals who should take their chances rather than being vaccinated, given the disease severity of the current variants. But the vaccines worked at a time they needed to work.

    Remember when Democrats warned us about the vaccines as they were being developed in late 2020? Good times, good times.

    Dueling headlines:

    KCPD: Social media rumors regarding a ‘serial killer’ targeting women are untrue, Sept 27th, 2022

    Woman who escapes month-long captivity says other Black women killed by abductor, Oct 16, 2022

    There’s a pattern. Minority communities have people go missing, report them, police take reports and move on to ‘bigger crime’ and by bigger they mean some business owner complained about the homeless and sometimes the serial killer gets themselves caught but are often just left to continue because no one bothered to investigate. It’s just young black women with no future in the poor part of town. (substitute Indigenous, immigrant, gay when convenient) It’s not just an American Problem. There are 40 missing women in the Alberta area that remain unsolved and several of them have turned up dead and dumped since the early 2000s. More than statistically probably if there isn’t a serial killer doing their thing.

    Around the time she went missing, several prominent community leaders raised concerns about the disappearance of multiple Black women and girls. Last month, the Kansas City Defender, a nonprofit newsroom, published a video of Bishop Tony Caldwell saying that he had received information that the missing women had all been kidnapped from Prospect Avenue in Kansas City.

    The police dismissed the concerns outright as “completely unfounded”, saying in a statement that “there is no basis to support this rumor”.

    So you’re telling me that Foreign news media doesn’t pretend to be non-partisan? How dare that guy ask me about if I agree that rioters shitting in the U.S. Capitol deserve pardons. What is this “Big Lie” shit? I will accept the election I win. I’ve been clear. We can’t have internment camps like you have here in Australia because of our #2A. And now I’m going to storm off.

    On this day in 1944 I took a cyanide capsule rather than be arrested for the plot against our leader. He was clearly deranged and a dictator who was committing mass murder. At least we tried. Maybe learn a thing or two modern Republicans. You don’t even have to try to kill him you could just tell people that he’s fucking nuts.

    Because she’s a totally unserious loon. You can’t debate with someone who won’t agree on some basic facts like “THE 2020 ELECTION WAS NOT STOLEN” as a Republican funded ‘audit’ confirmed for, what was it the fourth or fifth time?

    Katie, did you refuse to debate your primary opponents because they were election-deniers, too?

    In Football I think they call this a forfeit.

    I’m currently standing at a podium at the Loudermilk-Young debate. Herschel was invited and said he’d debate me anytime anywhere but I guess after Friday night he’s re-thought it. Or maybe he had to go make some high profile arrest at his other job.

    Standing here I feel like I look like one of his kids in the batter’s box in the 8th inning and looking up at the stands knowing that even though he said he would, Dad didn’t come see you play.

    Good servants of the Lord back up their words so they aren’t doing the sin of pride and boastfulness.

    Anyhoo, enjoy the pics on my Insta/Snap/Twitter/Facebook. It’s just me, at a podium, in a suit, standing next to another podium. Probably see that image a lot in the next news cycle.

    The Europeans are starting to use coal again to get by. They haven’t been able to get the green energy revolution to work yet. This scenario will e eventually come to the US as colder weather arrives. Fossils fuels will have to to be Plan A for now, and green energy is something that is going to require much work before it’s economically and politically achievable.

    Do Voters Care About John Fetterman’s Stroke?
    The Democrat’s health status is a legitimate election issue for Pennsylvanians. The question is what they should make of it.

    In nine days this turnip of a Democrat will be expected to be at the podium. If he is and proves the MSNBC journalist correct, it’s lights out.

    If he isn’t, it’s the @ 42 treatment.

    Democrats didn’t swap out Torricelli for Lautenberg until October of that midterm election year. I’m told that there was already a swap of Fetterman’s wife. We just weren’t informed of that fact until Rolling Stone put it into print, yesterday.

    GWB tax cuts added 1 T to the defict. Obama reduced it by 1 T. Then came the Hump and he had tax cuts too that increased it by 2 T. And now Honorable President Joe Biden, God Bless him, and its decreased from 2020 to 2021.

    But facts don’t matter.

    Just like during the advent of the Teabagger, cries of the defict and the debt. Smoke and mirrors. Increased taxes will lower the defict and inflation. But Repukes will only add to it if they get there way. Crocidile tears.

    Can we find ANYONE who shot a burglar this week?

    A sister shot her brother playing with a gun in Edinberg TX

    Two dads shot each other’s kids and then reportedly continued to fight each other as the daughters lay dying in Nassau, FL.

    A dad somehow managed to shoot himself in the pickup line at a school protecting his family in Birmingham, AL

    A 15 year old murdered his brother and four others in North Carolina with a shotgun, a gun that he may have pulled from Dad’s collection.

    The fucking CHIEF OF POLICE in Isle of Palms SC shot himself cleaning a gun

    Can we find one GOOD guy with a gun this week? It’s like people might start to realize that we’re all in on EVERYONE shooting whoever they like with a gun.

    No argument to any of that.

    The most recent poll (D) was by Bloomberg’s pollster. As in Mike, not the news organization.

    It’s also the only poll since two people were shot right outside Zeldin’s residence. Crime is a thing these days, or are you not aware, RCP.

    As one scandal after another envelops Hochul and as Zeldin can’t help but notice stuff like knife assaults and multiple shootings happen all around him while Dems don’t do jack to stop it, it’s not a surprise that the race is tightening.

    Toss up? YMMV. Will Hochul be shitting blood during the first week of November? No doubt.

    I don’t see why Democrats should be upset about the loss of the House and a potential loss of the Senate next month.

    After all, Dems got $1.9 trillion in while, poorly targeted spending. That’s always been a Democrat want – “free” money. Why can’t Dems just settle for all that moolah and be happy? After all, it’s gonna last at least a few months, unless people took the money and did nothing but sit around and fritter it away.

    We’re asking the wrong questions about John Fetterman

    Having disabled people in leadership positions can reduce stigma and lead to more inclusive legislation

    When we’re done talking about how cool it will be to have another turnip helping run the country, maybe we can talk about why that’s better than having, say, a reformed pedophile helping to run the country. Or a reformed mass murderer. Or, say, Cynthia McKinney’s dad.

    You know, to reduce stigma regarding pedos, killers, and racist anti-Semites. We need more of them running the country, in order to be more, you know, inclusive.

  60. 60

    I don’t see why Democrats should be upset about the loss of the House

    Controlling the White House, holding and growing control of the Senate and reducing Kevin McCarthy’s and Degen’s shirtless victory dance to mute speculation over how slim the new House majority may be won’t upset me the least. Watching the GOP and Degen humiliate themselves in groveling servility to half-witted brain damaged Football bullies and con artists is the sweetener.

    Two decades of gerrymandering and voter suppression were always going to leave a mark. But the price Republicans paid for all that is an enduring parade of Doug Mastrianos, Kari Lakes, and Herschel Walkers stretching out for another five cycles.

    “Candidate Quality” is the dark side of the Mitch McConnell legacy he can’t mention or ever admit to.

    The appalling spectacle of these incompetent, lying, violent, abusive, corrupt, ignoramuses defining the character of the GOP for a decade to come is ample compensation. Makes the job easy enough that even Democrats have a good shot at winning.
