  1.  @joesloadeddiaper3007  Sorry, you're right, it was an angioplasty, not a bypass. Nevertheless, it's not just an inconsequential thing thing to have done to a 78 year old man. I had a "routine" cataract repair at age 70. I went into respiratory arrest after the surgery, nearly died, and spent three days in ICU, so there's no such thing as routine at our age.

  2.  Adam Nasir  Going on 74...so far, so good.

  3.  Adam Nasir  I got my first mobile phone in 1975, probably before you were a twinkle in your father's eye. I've had mobile phones in some form ever since. Got my first computer, an Eagle II, in 1982, and was writing CP/M programs for a living at the time. Advanced from that to MS-DOS and Windows, starting with Win 3.11. I've had all the various forms of computers, from desktops to laptops to PDAs to netbooks to tablets ever since. None of this technology has been new fangled for me, at least not for the last 35 years or so. How old did you say you were again?

  4.  Adam Nasir  Oh yes, very fascinating. My first mobile phone was the size of a lunch pail with a huge antenna sticking out the back. The minimum charge for a call was a dollar a minute. My samsung phone will still fit (barely) in my pocket, has the computing power of two or three or my top line computers of just ten years ago. and allows me to call just about anyone, anywhere, while watching a Youtube video or reading my emails. All this for $50 a month with unlimited data. We live in amazing times, and I have been privileged to be part of it for the past 50 years. I won't be around for the next 50, but you should be, and I expect everything that seems amazing now will seem completely outdated in ten years. Time and progress continues to compress, and I wonder at what point humans just won't be able to keep up. You have interesting times ahead of you.

  5. It's a lot more wonderful than your kids out smoking behind the garage like I used to do. Trump is an idiot about this, and the First Lady doesn't have a clue about it either.

  8. Wait. "Descent into party lines"? How many Republicans in the House voted for impeachment again? Talk about being an unironic asshole.

  9. Things are really bad for Creepy Joe when he has Joy Behar actually coaching him on how to make an apology and he still wouldn't do it. You can't straddle the fence in the current year. You either make a full throated apology or tell these people to go fuck themselves.

  11.  @michaelg7601  "Broad as the power of inquiry is, it is not unlimited. The power of investigation may properly be employed only “in aid of the legislative function.”190 Its outermost boundaries are marked, then, by the outermost boundaries of the power to legislate. In principle, the Court is clear on the limitations, clear “that neither house of Congress possesses a ‘general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen’; that the power actually possessed is limited to inquiries relating to matters of which the particular house ‘has jurisdiction’ and in respect of which it rightfully may take other action; that if the inquiry relates to ‘a matter wherein relief or redress could be had only by a judicial proceeding’ it is not within the range of this power, but must be left to the courts, conformably to the constitutional separation of governmental powers; and that for the purpose of determining the essential character of the inquiry recourse must be had to the resolution or order under which it is made.”191 https://law.justia.com/constitution/us/article-1/05-congressional-investigations.html Executive privilege was never waved about the Mueller report. Any subpoena from Congress will be quashed until the case goes to federal court. NY state can pass all the resolutions it wants. It has no effect on the executive branch of the federal government. I realize you have a bad case of TDS but take some time to read the law before you start frothing at the mouth.

  17. The police need to either be moving people along or stop wasting their time standing there. The reason for a line is to push back those that don't comply with an order to disperse. Some pepper spray and the tactical use of riot batons would solve that problem forthwith.

  18. I have no idea what was going. The closed captions were no help. If you're going to present a video like this, recorded by some person a phone back about 30 feet in a place that is nothing but echoes, at least take the time to add some subtitles.

  20.  @cindyburton6698  You'd better make sure you have a reason a jury would believe that you had a reasonable fear of death or serious physical harm before you bring out a gun. Getting your hat snatched doesn't qualify. If you don't have the skills or size to get in physical confrontation to retrieve your stolen property, hang back and let the police deal with it.

  21.  @mizer451  Look, I was a police officer for 27 years. I don't appreciate the name calling. You do what you want though, You're only risking your freedom and everything you own now and will ever own if you shoot someone and a jury doesn't think the shooting was justified. Snatching your hat will never meet that rule.

  22.  @Walker_Bulldog  I was a deputy sheriff. It's common among cops to call any non-cop a civilian. In addition, the very first definition of a civilian at dictionary.com, and every dictionary I've looked at, is "a person who is not on active duty with a military, naval, police, or fire fighting organization." Maybe you should do some research into terms before you try schooling me.

  24.  @spliffsperlunk  My ass he didn't. He was asked at one of his rallies if he was going to fire Fauchi, and his response was, just wait until after the election. He knew Fauchi was not only lying, he was actively undermining that he was trying to accomplish with the vaccine. He went along with Fauchi with his recommendations on closing down the economy and closing down the schools. This disaster unfolded for more than a year, and Trump was in charge the entire time. Rather than getting rid of Fauchi, he hung on to him hoping he could somehow control him. He couldn't, and didn't. and went along with what Fauchi wanted instead. Trump could have stopped the worst of the damage to our economy and our daily lives. Instead, he decided to go on a nationwide insult tour, something he still hasn't learned from and seems to want to do again. His action pulled defeat from the jaws of victory. If he could have won by 10%, no one could have stolen the election. Instead, he let himself fall further in the polls, so his winning margin fell to 3% to 4%, and that was low enough to let the Dems round up the votes they needed to beat him. I'm as big a fan of President Trump as you'll find, but I'm also not willing to let him slide on his mistakes and then support a second round of the same thing.

  26. Lots of thirsty guys today. Have you all forgotten she was a left wing SJW radical who was setting up a website called SocialAutopsy.com for doxxing conservatives and online "bullies" in 2016? By 2017, realizing the progressive wave was ending, she (in her own words) "..became a conservative overnight...". It may have been a real transformation. I don't know, but I prefer to wait more than two years to see what happens with her views. She's the same age as AOC and has many of the same issues when it comes to understanding the world.

  27.  @dvchel  I don't think there's any evidence that either one is a closeted communist. Loyal Democrats perhaps, and liberals certainly, but communists? We conservatives have to be careful about throwing that term around lest it end up like nazis for the left.

  28. How many people who only speak Spanish and also pay income tax at the maximum rate? The moron is pandering to tiny number of people while pissing most people off.

  29. While I agree with what she's trying to do, she's also a publicity hound and nutty as a fruitcake. Be careful of who you latch onto as a spokesperson for the cause.

  30. This woman is 34 years old and looks like she's 54 years old. She knows she is about washed up as a soccer player and needs to get another career as some kind of woke lesbian political activist. To her, America will never be "great" enough because not every single person in the country gets everything they want. They are the thoughts of a 14 year old on tumblr.

  31. Graphic warning? Hit by a police munition? You don't know what a rubber bullet is called? No one has ever seen the kind of bleeding you get from a broken nose? No wonder we've become a country of pansies and snowflakes.

  32. So where are the right wing death squads roaming the streets snatching up these communists? Where the free helicopter rides the left promised us would appear after Trump's election? I'm starting to think those things won't happen. Rats!

  38.  @Cobra2323  Really? Give me some examples of what you call income redistribution. I have a feeling it's different that what I call it.

  39.  @Cobra2323  I didn't ask you for a copy and paste from Wikipedia. I asked you what your idea of Bernie's wealth redistribution given his long time communist sympathies.

  40.  @Cobra2323  It's almost word for word from Wiki. Do you think Google search quit working today? I asked you for examples of what you thought Bernie was going to do.

  41.  @Cobra2323  Okay, so you copied and pasted from Cleverism. Some of what they wrote is a rewording of the wiki article. Highlight the first paragraph and search with Google. It will bring you to the wiki article as the first result. Either they took it from wiki or the way round. Regardless, I was asking what you thought that Bernie's idea of wealth redistribution is and the results, not a copy and paste from anywhere. For example, what do you think the results of his "taxing Wall Street" to pay for his programs will do in terms of income and wealth redistribution?

  42.  @Cobra2323  Ah, so I guess it's too much for a Bernie Bro to provide any actual details and numbers. Here's a hint. He's proposing at least a 25 cent tax on every stock transaction. Not only against these supposed "speculators", but every transaction. Every stock trade is speculation. Any idea how this might affect the tens of millions of middle class workers who have their 401K fund invested in stock funds that will make literally thousands of transactions in the 49 year average lifespan of a 401K. That will directly hurt the very middle class you claim to support. Now, research this. Did Amazon pay any taxes in 2018? Not just Federal income tax, any income taxes. Why didn't they pay Federal income taxes for the year?

  45.  @censorshipisbookburning3235 The sub is back on the surface and in port. That's how the Russian Navy knew about the fire and were able to recover the bodies of the dead. Do you think the reactor fell out of the bottom of the sub, but the sub was able to make it back to the surface? If not, why would there be "an active Russian nuclear reactor sitting at the bottom of the ocean"? Most conspiracy theories require the suspension of common sense, something you just demonstrated.

  48. Body cams have lousy mics. They often don't pick up the crack of the gunshot. Go back and listen again for a couple milliseconds where the sounds cuts out, followed by a small thunp. That's the gunshot. Body cams do this all the time, so no need to start yet another conspiracy theory.
    1
  49.  @chickenbootybutt87  Not offhand, but I can think of about 15 years experience with them on the street A gunshot within inches of the bodycam overwhelms the mic and just leaves that short period of silence and sometimes a thump. If it's Axon, you can write to them at their website for confirmation of this. However, there are about 30 different bodycam makers, some absolute junk from China, so you've first need to know what kind of cam she had that day.

  50. How exactly were a bunch of obese basement dwellers expected to be able to defeat 4,000 soldiers and well over 1,000 police? Demonstrate their GTA 5 skills by just driving up the Capitol steps? The amazing thing is anyone actually believes this garbage.
