    Moving back to politics on a state and federal level, the US Attorneys handling the federal case vs New York's congestion pricing have shot themselves in the foot several times with this memo and their response to that accidental disclosure.

    https://www.cbsnews....epartment-memo/

    I've been able to go to NYC a couple times since implementation and it's almost magical in terms of reduced traffic and people happiness. Extremely impressive program.


    The last I had heard of this before a couple of days ago, it had been shut down unexpectedly by the governor shortly before it was to begin. I was listening to the Daily podcast about it probably more than 6 months ago and it seemed like it had been well researched, funded, and ready for implementation when it suddenly got shut down.

    Do you know when it actually started and what explanation was given for the delay/pause and then implementation?

    Careful guys or you might get a PM telling you to stop responding because he doesn't like what you have to say like I did.

    The game is that they get to air out every claim they want, with no specifics, with no fact-checking, with bullshit sources when they do cite one, and then cry FAKE NEWS, OUTRAGEOUS LIES, PERSONAL ATTACK when you call them on bullshit.

    It's the Fox News/Alt Right "news" method that has worked so wonderfully well on so many people.

    Is the Dark Tower series actually good? They've got all 7 of them in my local library.

    Some of the best lines in fantasy history, some very uneven moments, not a great ending. Still overall, the books are worth the time.

    Thanks Amph and everyone else I think when I get through my current crop of books I'll check it out!


    I found book 1 entertaining, but not great. Second book was better and it continues to build from there into being something really special. If you are even a casual fan of King, you need to read the series.

    The sheer onslaught of negative things is just overwhelming.

    I told my wife last night, who has owned a 22 pistol for as long as she's owned our home for self protection, that it's probably time I learn how to safely use that thing and she needs to take me to a range.

    Not because I've become convinced its a needed thing for home safety, either.

    I'm so vehemently anti-gun and yet.... I feel the need to learn how to use one has become more important than my desire and rationale for staying "pure" in my hatred for individual gun-ownership, especially pistols.

    What a fucking shit-show this country is becoming.

    I'm too old for this shit.

    But your (as a nations) failure to hold these absolute cunts (not apologising for the language) in any way accountable is fucking the rest of the world as well.


    Right?

    The French had the decency to actually revolt when their so-called leader pull heinous crimes and shit.



    We have people who counter-protest and roll up with their AR-15 when they get to feeling threatened (this isn't hypberole, this is 45 minutes away from me: https://www.jconline...st/82949910007/).

    The cauldron is starting to boil over, only if this pot goes over, it's not a quick spill. It's a fucking explosion that you can't undo and that will end up with people fighting people. Because of that, I think people are being REALLY patient with their demonstrations and objections.

    I'm not eager for the blood to start flowing in the streets or elsewhere.

    "A poor man's idea of a rich man.
    A weak man's idea of a strong man.
    A stupid man's idea of a genius."
    I'm not actually sure where it is from. But I've seen the "poor man's idea of a rich man" quote used about Trump and his gaudy taste more than once.

    So when are you going to change the subtitle of the American Politics thread to something about Democalypse 2016?

    Don't get out much? :D I have driven through Indy a couple of times now; I had to go to IU to scan 3 books when I was up here visiting in the spring. I thought about hitting you up then, but I figured I would get around to it when I moved up here permanently. Less rush. :) Some time soon, when the weather is good.
