    Cliffs:

    -A group of drag queens in greenville sc organize a weekly event in which they read books to children at the county library

    -Local shit head crackers freak the fuck out

    -The events become extremely popular

    -They become so popular, that the organizers have to begin making it a ticketed event because the facility is too small, the tickets are free, however

    -The library passes a rule the day before the next event stating that no event held at the library may limit attendance, and then revoke their permit to hold the event citing their violation of this rule. Interestingly, the people protesting the event somehow knew this before the organizers

    -Local paper runs the headline "Drag Queen Reading program cancelled due to violations of library policy"

    -Local cracker shitheads point to headline and say "See? These people can't be trusted!"

    The resolution's aims include "overhauling transportation systems in the United States to eliminate pollution and 19 greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector as much as is technologically feasible." According to an overviewof the resolution, this will be accomplished, in part, by "build[ing] out highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary."

    In other words, the Green New Deal wants to make commercial air travel obsolete. Is this in any way feasible? The short answer is no. "It's actually probably even dumber than it seems," says Baruch Feigenbaum, assistant director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes this website.

    Just had something similar here - they wanted to start Drag Queen Story Hour, crazy people lose their minds about turning kids gay. They freak out, the city doesn't let them host it, goes to court and shocker the library/city can't discriminate against them so the event finally goes forward.

    All I could think about was if you didn't want to expose your kid to it, don't bring them - but somehow that was never an option for the crazies.

    Republicans: Let the free market decide

    Democrat: Let’s work to help bring high speed rail system so it can compete with the airline industry

    Republicans: No, I consider this socialism. Now, let’s get back to subsidizing the airline industry, car manufacturing industry, oil and gas.

    Sen. Tom Cotton blasts 'Stalin-like' coverup of Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal FAQ
    WASHINGTON – Sen. Tom Cotton believes the news media engaged in a "Stalin-like" cover-up of a Green New Deal document produced by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's office.

    During a discussion of the ambitious environmental resolution introduced last week by the freshman New York congresswoman, Cotton pointed to a "frequently asked questions" explainer released, and then retracted, as part of the resolution's rollout.

    Cotton, an Arkansas Republican, said in a radio interview on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" Tuesday that the document revealed a liberal ambition to "have the power and the control of those Americans' lives to implement their radical vision for humanity."

    Cotton said it was "remarkable" how many Democratic presidential candidates "you had leap onto a proposal that was going to confiscate every privately owned vehicle in America within a decade, and ban air travel so we could all drive or ride around on high-speed light rail, supposedly powered by unicorn tears."

    Several ideas from the FAQ, which were not included in the actual resolution, were flagged and mocked by opponents to the legislation. The most widely derided lines included a call for "highspeed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary"; expanding public transit "with goals to replace every combustion-engine vehicle"; "economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work" and a goal to "fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes."

    President Donald Trump referenced ideas from the FAQ in his criticism of the Green New Deal during his rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday.

    Ocasio-Cortez has tried to distance herself from the FAQ. In a tweet on Saturday, she claimed that "doctored" Green New Deal documents were "floating around," and that a "draft version" had been uploaded and then taken down.

    Green New Deal: What is it and what does it mean for climate change?

    More: Ocasio-Cortez hits back after Trump says her Green New Deal looks like high school paper

    Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, said "an early draft" that "was clearly unfinished and that doesn’t represent the GND resolution got published to the website by mistake."

    Cotton called it "a classic example of a gaffe being when you say what you really mean."
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...19/02/13/green-new-deal-criticism/2856874002/
    "I understand the Democrats that proposed this immediately tried to retract that white paper that went along with their resolution," Cotton said. "And too many people in the media have been complicit in the Stalin-like or 1984 technique of disappearing it, sending it down the memory hole."

    Cotton did not specify how the news media were "complicit," but many conservatives were outraged when a Washington Post fact check conceded on Monday that Ocasio-Cortez's claim that the FAQ had been doctored was "misleading" but did not award her any "Pinocchios."

    Even without some of the ideas from the controversial FAQ, Cotton and other Republicans have made it clear that the Green New Deal resolution is too radical for them. As written, the document calls for "net-zero greenhouse gas emissions" within 10 years and "guaranteeing a job with a family-sustaining wage, adequate family and medical leave, paid vacations and retirement security to all people of the United States."

    On Wednesday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., jumped at the opportunity to nail Democratic presidential hopefuls from the Senate down on their supportive positions of the resolution. He announced he plans to bring the resolution to the floor for a vote "to give everybody an opportunity to go on record to see how they feel about the Green New Deal."

    Most of the declared 2020 Democratic candidates have expressed support for the Green New Deal, including Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.; Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.; Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.

    Klobuchar plans to vote for the resolution, but also implied she might not vote for it as written if it came to the Senate floor as "actual legislation."

    "I see it as aspirational, I see it as a jump-start," she said in an interview on Fox News Tuesday. "So I would vote yes, but I would also – if it got down to the nitty-gritty of an actual legislation as opposed to, 'oh here’s some goals we have,' that would be different for me."

    Cheney's cardiologist: What are Trump's doctors hiding?


    [​IMG]

    When the doctor who somehow keeps Dick Cheney’s purpling corpse ambulatory talks, you should listen. The dude is obviously brilliant.
    And that guy is wondering why Trump’s doctor hasn’t released any information on the pr*sident’s recent physical beyond mealy generalities:


    (fun thread btw)

    Good question.

    Here’s another take:

    The president, 72, underwent a physical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last week. In memo, Navy Commander Sean Conley, physician to the president, said he anticipates Trump “will remain (in good health) for the duration of his presidency and beyond.”

    “Over the course of approximately four hours, I performed and supervised the evaluation with a panel of 11 different board certified specialists,” Conley wrote, adding the president did not undergo any procedures that required sedation or anesthesia.

    No details of the medical findings were released but Conley’s memo said “reports and recommendations are being finalized.”

    I can only assume they’re waiting for someone to invent a quantum supercomputer with which to plausibly tweak his official BMI under “obese.” And that could take a while.

    Of course, it is comforting to know that modern medicine can predict one’s continued good health for years ahead of time. Then again, maybe the bar is set incomparably low for Trump’s health, too. If his heart isn’t literally mouldering inside his chest, all’s good.

    Nothing to see here. So we won’t show you.
