Crabtree posted:The Iron Lady not so Iron anymore, but what can you do when no one says anything about Trump threatening to swamp her, but are outraged she had a negative opinion about the first Oompa Loompa President? Yeah I just don't get the attitude that the courts require this absurd level civility in the form of denial because we have to pretend the people working in them are totally without bias but the position of President (or Congressman) apparently has no such issue and someone running for it can insult and threaten a high ranking government official without the same people being equally outraged.

https://twitter.com/latimes/status/753372203668934656 Hell yeah gently caress you Air BnB. I was listening to some TED bullshit on NPR a couple of weeks ago and the founder of Air BnB was talking about how the "bad stories" are only fraction of all BnB bookings and it's not fair to judge the company by these bad outliers. Then he immediately told a story about how some BnB host saved the life of his tenant who had a heart attack, and we should use that as an example of the good power of Air BnB.

I was just coming to post something about this. Yeah there is some ratfucking trying to happening. I'm seeing a few tweets by reporters there that the delegates are getting angry at reince. The stop trump people were saying yesterday they have enough delegates to change the rules. They also claim to have enough to issue a "minority report" from the floor of the convention.

The horror stories about people buying out areas in order to airBnB them make sense and they can be charged under illegal hotel statutes in most places. What is the harm of people renting out their primary residences for less than 30 days?

Oh sorry for not including a link to the article "In May 2015, the Santa Monica City Council unanimously passed a law outlawing rentals of less than 30 days. The law allows so-called home-sharing, such as renting a couch or spare room while the owner is present, but bars renting an entire residence for fewer than 30 days. "

In the unlikely event the RNC succeeds in rat-loving Trump I assume the media will fall over themselves to congratulate them for fighting off the evil, racist Trump and steering the party back on track no matter the views of the guy they replace him with.

The unbinding will be coming up. The question is if it passes. I'm guessing this is super delegates. Rules committee comes back at 1pm est. If Trump isn't ratfucked here, I need him to pick Ivanka as VP.

zoux posted:https://twitter.com/ZekeJMiller/status/753608741984034816 Okay, so it is the people who were renting out non-primary residences. Makes sense. I assume people aren't just renting these units because they can do huge upcharges on day-to-day rates instead of a monthly lease. There's a link to the article in the tweet, I just didn't see it at first! Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Jul 14, 2016 |

The RNC has been hard-charging against Never Trump, it's dead. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Okay, so it is the people who were renting out non-primary residences. Makes sense. The problem is that people were using them to get around hotel regulations, didn't live in or have any interest in the community, and were renting poo poo out to people who throw raging parties and trash the place. Like the guy in the article owned six properties that he was renting through Air BnB

Never Stop Michelequote:Bachmann shared an anecdote: “He even said, ‘I don’t understand, when I was growing up, everybody said Merry Christmas. Even my Jews would say Merry Christmas.’ New York City, there are a lot of Jews, and they would even say Merry Christmas. Why can’t we even say Merry Christmas anymore?’” (http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5786ea72e4b03fc3ee4f478f stolen via politicalwire)

I would sort of assume that having voting locations in a church has more to do with the fact that they usually have a large and accessible parish hall that can accommodate the numbers of people showing up to vote, as opposed to any religious justification. A church is usually fairly deserted on a weekday, the parish hall is typically handicap-accessible, and they have a parking lot for people who drive. I think it's just an infrastructure thing.
