You would think that despite all the very real differences between Democrats and Republicans that the legislature could come together and figure out getting rape kits tested. But it turns out that testing rape kits isn’t free. And while real progress was made last session, it’s still not there and we still need to pay for them.
So the new bill going through the legislature is mostly to the good. But Seattlish explains why an admissions tax on strip clubs is not the best way to pay for rape kits.

Huh, “13 hours” got hammered. A SciFi movie that’s been in theaters for 5 weeks out grossed it by $10M and had a higher per screen average. Leonardo DiCaprio battles the elements released four weeks ago almost doubled it. A rapper and a comedian pretending to be cops absolutely destroyed it.
Slashfilm says the average price of a movie ticket is $8.38 based on gross sales that means less than 2 million people saw the film. That means .8% of adult Americans saw it.
Yep, it’s going to just destroy Hillary. This film is going to totally change the game. Bengaaaaaaazi!

@ 24&25
Personality disorders are thought to be caused by a combination of these genetic and environmental influences. Some people may have genes that make them vulnerable to developing antisocial personality disorder and life situations may trigger its development.
Trick Palin (very interesting connotations to that name) is a classic sociopath. He, like so many other Republican Conservatives, seem to have a total lack of awareness about how humans respond to things on an emotional level. Everyone has similar reactions, but some how the Bible-Thumpers and Racists all seem to believe that they are somehow above all that, and can respond appropriately on a non-emotional level that supersedes the emotional response. That they can “remove” themselves from the normal emotional responses to things.
This of course, is total, utter bullshit, and symptomatic of their delusional structure. They believe that they can “rise above” that emotional reaction, and wall those emotions off from their visible reaction. This is why they openly sneer at people who just had a close relative or friend murdered. This is why they can stand on a still-smoking pile of rubble that once was a pair of 1100 foot tall buildings, and sing the praises and wonders of America while the whole world watches on television, and consider that a positive image to project to people.
Trick (or was it Track? Maybe Truck, I dunno, who cares) was pretty much given the option of joining the Army, specifically because he (along with a few of his friends) was arrested for cutting the brake lines on the school busses for the local district.
From that link I posted above:
Complications, consequences and problems of antisocial personality disorder include:
Aggressiveness leading to verbal or physical violence
Gang participation
Reckless behavior
Risky sexual behavior
Child abuse
Alcohol or substance abuse
Gambling problems
Being in jail or prison
Homicidal or suicidal behaviors
Relationship difficulties
Occasional periods of depression or anxiety
School and work problems
Strained relationships with health care providers
Low social and economic status, and homelessness
Premature death, usually as a result of violence
So, when I need information along these lines, I do what some people do, and that is, I called my Mom on the phone. She was a psychologist for 30+ years and pointed me at the website above.
She pretty much ran the gamut, so to speak of various job functions during her career and this put her in contact with huge numbers of “interesting” people: Sociopaths, recovering drug addicts, alcoholics, recently released convicts who did real, hard time, etc. A few killers, rapists and bank robbers and such. The dinner-table conversations were a lot more interesting in retrospect than they were at the time. Kids don’t care about that shit, really. But there were some things that caught my attention over the years.
One of them being, that Cutting brake lines on a car, or on a school bus is a specific indicator of homicidal ideation and is specifically noted during the intake process that creates the foundation of how the patient is going to be diagnosed and treated by mental-health professionals. This is actually a common thread amongst schizophrenics and sociopaths who are getting too big and becoming too crazy for people to handle in normal, day-to-day interaction. They do shit like that; they cut brake lines on their parent’s cars, they put weed killer in the peanut butter or mayonnaise, they set fires and such. This is while they are still young teenagers and often the simpler actions come in the years before they are teenagers.
That being said,
Although the precise cause of antisocial personality disorder isn’t known, certain factors seem to increase the risk of developing or triggering it, including:
Diagnosis of childhood conduct disorder
Family history of antisocial personality disorder or other personality disorders or mental illness
Being subjected to verbal, physical or sexual abuse during childhood
Unstable or chaotic family life during childhood
Loss of parents through traumatic divorce during childhood
History of substance abuse in parents or other family members
Men are at greater risk of having antisocial personality disorder than women are.
Now, it is already pretty obvious that Sarah is a raging alcoholic, the various videos that she herself created during her little dalliance with the internet show that in graphic terms. I’d be willing to bet that her husband is as well, and alcohol seems to be a major aspect of every “incident” that this family has been involved with, such as that party thing that happened a couple of summers ago. So, it would follow that the Palins have always been alcoholics. That sort of behavior does not emerge in people when they get into their 30s or 40s, that behavioral pattern is highly visible in such individuals by the time they are in their late teens. Everyone knew the teenage lush when they were in High School. I remember there being at least a couple of dozen at the three I went to.
Sarah Palin is what that looks like when it grows bigger and gets more money. These people are fucking nuts.

I used to give her some credit for not really believing her bullshit but being clever enough to know how to manipulate and exploit the mouth breathers. But comments like these reveal a particular kind of insanity. It isn’t clever. It’s reactionary. It’s psychopathic.
She takes what are basically very sad, painful, personal, family events arising from circumstances the best most experienced professionals are at a loss to fully explain, and she projects a cause onto an “enemy”. And she seeks to score debate points in the process. It’s a very ugly thing. But more than that it describes a fairly pathological thought process that puts herself, her identity, and her concerns at the center of everything, even her own son’s personal pain. Histrionic ideation, massively inflated sense of self-importance, and stunning lack of empathy for her own child. These kids need to forget about the money and get as far away from that woman as they can as fast as they can.

You are flat out lying, again. The EPA did do its job, it informed local and State officials of the problem. That is all it is required, and allowed to do, by law. The Governors office had final, and absolute authority to make decisions and the Governors office told the local city officials that it would not authorize any further treatment of the water being used due to the increased costs. It was specifically the Governors office that attempted to hide the increased lead levels in the city water supply, after being informed of the problem by the EPA. The Governor and his lackey who took control of the City government bear total responsibility for this. They had final, operational authority. The local City Council was completely toothless and all decisions they made had to be approved by the Governors office before being implemented.
They knew full well that the river being used to supply water to the city was contaminated before any upgrades to the system were even proposed. The Flint River was deemed completely contaminated by industrial waste and unusable for human consumption back in the 1970s. It was the Governors office that specifically refused to allow funding to treat the contaminated water to prevent the lead leeching that occurred. It was the Governors office that set absolute limits on how much of the States money could be spent on the whole process of rebuilding the City’s water supply system.
But, why should you care? It was only niggers that were affected, and we all know what you think about “those people”.

An insightful essay about the downside of the unregulated “sharing” economy.
https://www.policyalternatives.ca/publications/monitor/apploitation-city-instaserfs
“The standard ride-sharing or courier app’s business model looks something like this: Once you’ve got a steady supply of drivers invested in the app, start lowering their pay.
It happens inconspicuously through “upgrades” to the app, which can often change fare and payment rates. Only drivers with enough extra time to carefully analyze their earnings will notice that the new terms don’t work in their favour.””
Like this
http://observer.com/2016/01/ub.....imum-wage/
“In January 2015, Uber announced it would guarantee earnings of between $10 and $26 an hour depending on peak hours. But to qualify you have to accept 90% of all ride requests, accept one ride per hour and be online for 50 minutes of each hour worked. The idea is to reward loyalty and prevent drivers from having Uber and Lyft open at the same time. The thing is, if you’re working 40 or 50 hours a week with one company, that looks a lot less like a gig and a lot more like full-time employment.”
They are employers, using loopholes to hack the system.

“When you start a shift driving for Uber, the first thing you do is look for hotspots. Why doesn’t Uber just tell its drivers exactly where rides are needed? Giving direct orders would transform their independent contractors into employees with rights and benefits. … the ride-share app companies want to avoid the responsibilities of being full-blown employers.
Postmates once allowed their drivers to see the details of an order before accepting a job. This was great for couriers because we could estimate how much money we would make on an order. It also meant we could reject bad jobs, which created a situation where it could take a long time—or even be impossible—to find a courier who would accept a low-paying job. Postmates responded by “updating” the app to a “blind system” in which we could still accept or reject jobs, but without enough information to determine whether it would be worth our time or not (e.g., a huge grocery store order).”
This is a one sided contract, with the employee having all the power. Is this fair? Should it be regulated?

And since they considered the shooting justified, no further proceedings. As you may know, g.j. proceedings are sealed. Disclosure is a criminal offense. So we may never know how things unfolded.

Got a call from a friend and co-worker this morning at work today, just to really say hello, but he first comment to me was about Hillary Clinton – and something to do about something she posted on her Facebook account that had to do with classified information. I told him I knew nothing, that I hadn’t heard about it, and then I told him I didn’t care, regardless. He went on about how dishonest she was. my response was, and who isn’t? He couldn’t answer. He’s from Ohio, and his choice of a candidate is Kaisch, whom I wouldn’t choose but i wouldn’t be unhappy with if a Democrat lost, and I’ve told him that and he knows it.
In past discussions with him, I’ve offered to him that I’ve never liked Rahm Emanuel. Something about the gut that I don’t like from the first day I’ve heard about him, although on occasion I’ve probably agreed with him on positions. I didn’t like him even before Obama became President and Emanuel was part of his campaign for President. And I kind of like the guy less today. One day, my friend, asked me if it was a choice between Emanuel or Kasich for President would I vote for Kasich. And I told him probably, yes, Kaisch.
Typically, if it was something that I knew about and could offer a different perspective, something that was opposite to the hysteria knee jerk reaction that conservative have about anything a democrat does, like Ebola, etc., etc., etc. But this time I said I don’t give a shit if she is dishonest and whatever bad she’s done in the past.
Now, my friend, who says he’s an independent, and complains more about Democrats than Republicans, he pretty much gives them a free pass, unless you really drill him, and he can’t defend them, says he voted for Obama twice.
So this morning I said to him after his complaint, why do you care you would never voter for her. And he said, well we will end up with Trump, and it will be her fault. I ten said that that will be his problem and not mine and again I said I don’t give a shit. I told him that it is the fault of all the Republicans of why we even have a Trump and not one viable good Republican candidate and he should blame his own beloved assholes.
I truly think the response to a Republican (or Independent) crying about Hillary is – who gives shit. And that you could care less if she actually was convicted of murder.
I mean we have one Candidate that claims he stabbed a relative and he’s proud of it because it God turned him around. And he also believes in grain silos in Egypt, and not one Republican supported had to respond to that.
We have Marco Rubio who supported and helped out his Brother-in-law drug dealer, and not one of his supporters had to answer for that.
We have three of the candidate sit with a pastor at a fundraiser for them and listen to the guy calling about killing of gay people, right after the San Bernadino killings that we all have to be so against, and not one of their supporters had to answer to it.
We have Republicans candidates (probably all of them) who deny climate change, and the freedom to marry who you want, and not one of their supporters have to answer to it.
On, and on, an on – Illegal raping Mexicans, all Muslims are killers, etc., etc., etc., and not one of their supporters has to answer to all the hate and divisiveness.
So, I say fuck it. Hillary could be a committed killer who served 10 years in jail, and I say to them I don’t give a shit. Try it. It stops them in their tracks, and you don’t have to waste your time debating them. Actually, I think I’ve seen a news clip with a Trump supporter being asked a similar question that questioned Trump’s character, and the answer was the same, that she didn’t care.
This is the way to go – tell them that you don’t fucking give a shit. And if Martin O’Malley was caught on a public bus masturbating – all the more reason to vote for the guy!

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty wasn’t endorsed by the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party either!
No Republican candidate filed in the race, so the Democratic nominee is likely to become prosecutor. AGAIN!
Cuyahoga County, one of R senile’s favorite places. You can google search R senile’s Cuyahoga County prognostications or you could ask the clueless crazed databaze cretin. His search prowess is unparalleled here on HA DUMMOCRETINS!

Although Mich. Public Radio had originally prepared this for a comprehensive documentary they were doing, most of the content was edited out. The producers concluded that it was fairly irrelevant since it was ultimately the state DEQ’s responsibility to ensure safe drinking water. That’s actually true everywhere, not just in Michigan. Federal Clean Water Act. Another one of those “unfunded mandates” the trolls bitch about.
Anyway, it becomes quite clear that the decision to pump from the Flint River was entirely down to the Guv’s appointed money stooge. And that what prompted the decision was absolutely a desire to cut costs.

Heilary is still using that evasive email answer! She did not send or receive marked as classified materials. The latest is now “marked”. Yet her server had emails containing documents even the Intelligence community leaders in Congress would have needed additional security clearances for. Above Top Secret materials on this server!
The IG was appointed by Obummer! No wonder why she deleted the emails on the server and hoped no one would find them.

Now I see Trump is saying “The Establshment” isn’t bad.
Thanks Crud.
Man republicans can get their supporters to eat shit after convincing them that the shit doesn’t taste good. The American public is pretty stupid. Nothing but silliness. This is what happens when you don’t have any ideas or plan on governing anything.

Well I just listened to Trumps Presser. Sounded much more respectable than his rallies.
Maybe I should give him a little advice – he should stick to just press conferences than rallies, he would get more support.

Republicans just poisoned the citizens of Flint and will probably end up killing more school children than all the school shooters combined, and in what’s left the loon’s mind, that means Democrats are scum. Of course, the loon still thinks he’s the fucking disinfectant who’s going to kill all the scum posting here at HA.
Who needs ISIS when wingnut terrorists can’t be fucking happy unless the Americans they hate are dead or dying, even their kids?

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the current state of the Republican Party:
“National Review … will publish a special issue on Friday opposing Donald Trump’s bid for the presidency …. The issue … comes as conservative pundits and GOP leaders debate which of the two leading Republican candidates — Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz — poses the greater threat to the party.”

@73,
I really do believe the FBI is going about this the right way in Harney County.
I know it’s frustrating. But these folks and their supporters are absolutely obsessed with violent confrontation. They fantasize about it nearly constantly. And it’s really too bad for the local community. After all, the more hard work and progress that land managers and wildlife managers have to sacrifice to these cowpussy domestic terrorists, the less flexibility they have in dealing with local land users. It’s really just a tragedy for the local community born out of the selfish vanity of outsiders.
But it would be a whole lot worse for Harney County and for all the other BLM and Refuge neighbors if these death cultists got their wish for a blood soaked Armageddon.
If that were to happen I’m worried we’d see this same kind of thing repeat itself over and over again all over the country. So let’s just be patient and let the FBI do their thing,document the fuck out of these idiots, wait the poseurs out, and lock ’em up one by one in a year or two. No hurry at this point in time.

@74 well it looks likes we are stuck with Trump. They must really hate Crud. He caused the whole problem that the Republicsn Party had today. And Crud has a problem with his citizenship.
What I don’t get is Sarah Palin. She, along with Crud, caused the whole problem with their party.
We are stuck with her too. Which is just as bad as having been stuck with Crud. Thank God he is gone. I do t think I could fathom ever having him as a president and hopefully his father dies off quick now, and I mean literally die.
