E.coli is back and the CDC isn't loving around like back in April.

So, if your family tries to give you romaine lettuce this Thanksgiving, ask them why they want to kill you.

Hey so our new AG got more then $1 million from some shadowy non-profit group for doing nothing more then bashing the Clinton's.

quote:

In the three years after he arrived in Washington in 2014, Matthew G. Whitaker received more than $1.2 million as the leader of a charity that reported having no other employees, some of the best pay of his career.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust described itself as a new watchdog nonprofit dedicated to exposing unethical conduct by public officials. For Whitaker, it became a lucrative steppingstone in a swift rise from a modest law practice in Iowa to the nation’s top law enforcement job. As FACT’s president, he regularly appeared on radio and television, often to skewer liberals.

But FACT’s origins and the source of funding used to pay Whitaker — now the acting attorney general — remain obscured. An examination of state and federal records, and interviews with those involved, show that the group is part of a national network of nonprofits that often work in concert to amplify conservative messages.

Contrary to its claims in news releases and a tax filing, the group was created under a different name two years before Whitaker’s arrival, according to incorporation and IRS records. At least two of the organizers were involved in another conservative charity using the same address.

In its application to the IRS for status as a tax-exempt organization, the organizers reported that the group would study the impact of environmental regulations on businesses, records show. In that incarnation, the group took no action and “only existed on paper,” one man named in IRS filings as a board member told The Washington Post. Another named in a state filing as a board member said he never agreed to be on the board.

How does only answering some questions work? Completely ignoring, again, the hypocrisy of it all would partial answers come down to "OK, here's your subpoena"? I can't imagine any other response that doesn't devolve into "Yeah we're totes cool with oligarchic overlords ignoring the law, the gently caress you gonna do about it?"

Ehh I don’t know if I would call 99% of the human race getting killed off because the solar system got 2-dimensioned and the survivors hiding in shadows and then the book ending with folks begging for other folks to come out of their pocket dimensions so the universe can end via Big Crunch and maybe next time things won’t be so lovely next time a high note.

Not to mention the whole dark forest solution to the Fermi Paradox is inherently pessimistic.

I get what you’re saying and they’re excellent books, I just walked away after reading them with a profound sense of sadness.

Part of the ending has the survivors in the pocket dimension discovering that the offshoots of human and trisolaran civilization that fled their respective systems had survived and thrived enough to make the list of ~1.5M notable civilizations out of the entire universe. While it's uncertain whether all the different races in the pocket dimensions will give up their mass to avoid the Big Rip, the characters remain hopeful that only some would hold out. An earlier part of the book describes how the galaxy actually has thriving communities, trade, ideologies, etc. and isn't just roving predators and cowering prey.

The last book really does a lot to bring the story back from a depression fest, imo. "In the eternal night of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, two civilizations had swept through like two shooting stars, and the universe had remembered their light."

I'm telling y'all so you can get over it somewhat quickly.

Nancy Pelosi will be the next Speaker of the House. The challenge to her is coming from the right-side of the Democratic Caucus and they only had a really weak challenger in Marcia Fudge. Pelosi dropped some oppo on Fudge (Fudge vouched for a former lawmaker/judge and he then murdered his wife), got her to relent, then offered Fudge her own subcommittee. Fudge now threw her support to Pelosi.

Nancy Pelosi is garbage on microphones. She's an absolute master of Congressional politics. Can't beat a master with absolutely nothing.

That poo poo is probably why someone like Pelosi ought to be speaker or at least majority whip, if folks are refusing to primary her. Given how CA's primaries work it's kind of a zero risk thing unless somehow they get a GOPper in the district who isn't a writeoff.

Also worth pointing out, at least one of the Dems that were challenging her, did not get a very warm reception at his own town hall the other night/.

Pelosi is garbage for a lot of reasons but she's a very effective speaker and the best option we have right now. I wish there were better options, but "you go to the army you have not the one you want" etc etc.

A solid source here (in a thread) sort of describes why I'm not so pessimistic about Nancy Pelosi. Also, Obama really didn't give a poo poo, at all, about midterms.

This is the concern trolling of someone who doesn't know anything, actively avoids looking it up, and unless someone does their homework for them, they'll just assume that Pelosi didn't get poo poo done.
