    Immediately after Trump was sentenced on 34 felony counts to … nothing … he turned to his supporters and sought to monetize his non-punishment.

    Trump sent out a fundraising email immediately after being sentenced, saying he wants to hear from his supporters. The email links to a page soliciting monetary donations and asking if they stand with him after his sentencing.

    “We must stop people from saying negative things about how we are handling the response to these mismanaged fires” sums up the last 4 years of Democratic Party policy perfectly.

    In the previous thread I’ve pointed out how yet again I’ve been telling you all stupid easily disproven lies in order to exploit a massive human tragedy unfolding in the Los Angeles area.

    You should all know better than to give any credibility to what I post. But still you engage like helpless lemmings. You mock yourselves.

    I’ve been lying to you all about the LA fires for days now and not a single one of you pussies has had the initiative to fact check me. It’s amazing how weak you all are.

    And now just to rub your faces in how I celebrate the misery unfolding there, I’m demanding that you never fact check me or risk looking even weaker than you already are. There is no “resistance”. Liberal pussies are incapable.

    Looking at the procession for the murdered bus driver, besides representatives from operators all over Washington (including Island Transit), Oregon, and BC, it appears that the King County Prosecutor relented and allowed the vintage buses out of the Boneyard (metro nickname for South Base Annex where they are kept) to participate in. Satterberg’s opinion on MEHVA using Metro’s participation in the State Transit Insurance pool led to the charters being suspended in 2020. Participating in the parade were Seattle Transit System 598 and 724, and Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle 1455 and 5034.

    STS 598 has a sad link to the last time this happened. It was used as the bus for tge family in the Procession to the Memorial Service for Mark McLaughlin.

    More fun with Twatter

    A rando posted a story this morning about his Brother, an Oregon firefighter, telling him that all 50 of the firetrucks from Oregon had been stopped in Sacramento and were undergoing smog checks before being allowed to move on to Southern California.

    Last line of the post, “California is a JOKE!”

    But Elon pushed it out and over 1.5 million views later it got picked up by your usual assortment of insane conservative commentators.

    Cool story bro, why did @osfm (the Oregon State Fire Marshal) account put out pictures of the trucks and teams already on site on Friday morning in the Palisades? I mean I don’t know much but I can look at a photo of Palm trees and think, “Hey that doesn’t look like Sacramento.

    Oh, is it because you don’t have a firefighter brother and it was completely made up?

    Yes.

    But I guarantee you come Monday if you tune into “The Truth” on the radio you’ll hear that it happened.

    Side note, what was the mechanism where the trucks would be stopped on I-5 in Sacramento. Blockade of CHP keeping them from continuing? Why weren’t they stopped at the agricultural inspections in Redding at the border? If you’ve been through there they stop every vehicle and briefly ask a yes/no “Are you carrying any produce?” It was so stupid a story that only a MAGA Cultist would say, “That sounds reasonable.”

    Newly Elected Oklahoma State Senator and “Humble Servant of Christ” Lisa Standridge has penned a bill that ordinarily you could ignore because it’s so stupid no one would take it seriously but….Oklahoma.

    It would outlaw and require closure of all Homeless Shelters in any city with a population of less than 300,000. That would be Tulsa and Oklahoma city. The aim is to either force anyone who is experiencing homeless to relocate to those two cities or die. We don’t actually want to SEE the homeless in Norman. If we can remove them then they don’t exist. You should check out the map of her district which is gerrymandered for the express purpose of keeping all those young idealistic commies at the University of Nebraska out.

    When I tweeted that story in the before times as the Woods stories were coming out one of his ‘Diggstown’ costars retweeted it and it went kind of viral and a bunch of not famous anymore actresses started retweeting it too.

    James Woods is a predator in the ACTUAL sense. Everyone knew but it took a movement for people to come forward.

    The Department of the Interior finished up their auction of land leases for oil expiration. There were zero bids. So either the oil companies are pretty sure Donald is full of shit OR more likely they’re looking at the price per barrel and Donald’s tanking of the US Oil market in his first term and knowing that there is no way to make money building rigs far from any realistic port where there are no existing pipelines either.

    The coming years will see deregulation of private equity.

    Los Angeles-based company that owns more than a dozen hospitals in four states filed for bankruptcy late Saturday night, the second major system acquired by private equity to collapse in less than a year.

    In an initial filing seeking Chapter 11 protections, Prospect Medical Holdings, which owns facilities in California, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, listed debts of more than $400 million. In a press release announcing its restructuring, the company said it would continue to operate as normal.

    When the equity team took over they secured loans based on inflated value of the Real Estate holdings of the physical buildings. That funding went to investors.

  74. 74

    Oil rigs are so much nicer than those ugly wind turbines. We’re going to build many in The Gulf of America

  75. 75

    @72 The “so much beautiful American oil” in question amounts to about 12 to 18 months of U.S. consumption, based on ANWR reserves of 7.7 to 11.8 billion barrels, and domestic consumption of about 20 million barrels a day.

    A multibillion-barrel oilfield is no small deal in E&P terms, but it takes the world economy only about 10 days to go through a billion barrels of oil. So ANWR has never been a panacea for oil supply.

    @73 What Republican deregulation really does is crash the financial system. The savings and loan crisis of the 1980s, and the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007-2008, both happened because of Reagan and Bush era deregulation. If you want to see what a deregulated financial system looks like, just study the long train of late 19th century financial panics and depressions.

    Republican Whack-o-Nomics doesn’t work, and why they returning to the same old failed policies over and over again mystifies many folks, until they realize that recessions and depressions, while destroying wealth, concentrate the remaining wealth in fewer hands.

    It’s always about a few greedy people trying to monopolize wealth and power. In the present case, Making America Feudal (not futile) Again.

    I read about the inspections on the way down, too. Decided not to post it.

    Tonight I saw this on FB:

    Central Whidbey Island Fire & Rescue
    [Yesterday at 1:45 p.m.]

    California wildland deployment update:
    Central Whidbey Fire & Rescue crews arrived in Davis Ca. late last night and passed apparatus inspection early this morning. They are currently enroute to the Palisades Fire where their strike team will immediately be activated to work.
    Our thoughts are with them and thier team as they jump into the fight within the next few hours.

    https://www.facebook.com/cwfirerescue

    It would make sense that a small detour away from the interstate itself for inspections could have been quickly arranged. If the Facebook post is correct that detour was about 15 miles west of Sacramento. Since I-5 runs nearly east-west for a stretch just north of Sacramento, 15 miles west of Sacramento could easily be just a couple of miles off of the interstate.

    In an overly regulated state like California anything is possible.

    Lancet, the respected medical journal, says the Gaza death toll is much higher than even the Palestinians have reported, and 60% of them are women, children, and elderly people.

    Lancet was once a respected medical journal, I’ll agree. That ended in 2006, when just before the midterm elections Lancet published laughably inaccurate Iraq war dead estimates:

    Thursday, August 2, 2012
    Major Flaws With The Lancet Reports On Iraqi Deaths, Part II

    The British medical journal The Lancet published two reports on the estimated deaths caused by the Iraq war in 2004 and 2006. They were generally well received by the public and media, but behind the scenes they started a long debate amongst academics and researchers about their results. The reason why this happened was because the Lancet papers had casualty figures far above almost every single report or survey done before or after. Much of this controversy centered around statistical anomalies, but also included how they presented other work on fatalities after the 2003 invasion. What this highlighted were major flaws in the two Lancet reports that largely debunked their findings.

    https://musingsoniraq.blogspot.com/2012/08/major-flaws-with-lancet-reports-on.html

    It was such a laughably inaccurate report that even iraqbodycount.org couldn’t help but criticize it:

    Exaggerated claims, substandard research, and a disservice to truth

    Iraq Body Count (IBC) applied an early and so far unanswered set of reality checks2 to the Johns Hopkins survey published in the Lancet in October 2006, a paper which has recently been comprehensively discredited in a new study3 by Prof. Michael Spagat of Royal Holloway University. Even among the generally inexact survey results for deaths in Iraq the “Lancet estimate” was an extreme outlier, asserting 450,000 more deaths from violence than the much larger WHO-funded study that estimated 151,000 such deaths by July 2006.

    https://www.iraqbodycount.org/analysis/beyond/exaggerated-orb/

    Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit, when Lancet reports figures higher than even the liars in the Palestinian Ministry came up with, given its history perhaps you should be just a little bit curious about where Lancet got its numbers. It pulled them out of its ass.

    It’s fucking Lancet. Right away you should know something’s wrong.

    Today he cancelled the event at Minneapolis’ Xcel Center home of the NHL’s Wild.

    That makes the 6th cancelled date due to low ticket sales. An astute critic noted in the last few days based on Ticket Master’s ticket seating chart that roughly 200 tickets had been sold.

In March they’re offering only the lower bowl at Climate Pledge and the seating chart shows maybe 200 sold.

    If California was even adequately regulated many of these fires would not have been started by private electrical power providers who neglect maintenance, repairs, and upgrades on transmission and distribution infrastructure to pad profits for billionaires.

    But I get away with lying to you liberal pussies because you are weaklings.
