Yea most bomb-threats are students trying to get out of tests, or trying to censor speakers they disagree with.

Did you know that "bomb threats" are a thing that happens very often, and usually they are called in against non-denominational public schools.

Or to put it another way, not every loving bomb threat has to do with Jews, in fact the vast majority of them do not.

the conversation in the thread was about bomb threats being called in to jewish centers

sweet christ, i hope you aren't this bad at following a conversation in person

Cuomo comes from the same sort of family background like Romney in which the surname's patriarch has decided that his sons must aspire to increasingly high political office and constantly grasp towards the presidency

the thing is mario cuomo was good and if andrew cuomo just aspired to be his father that'd be cool

I mean... isn't that most states outside of their core cities? Most of upstate seems about as bad as anywhere else in the country.

upstate ny is worse than most of the rest of the country, though i think west virginia and where i currently live in southern oregon might beat even upstate ny out

like unless you're in saratoga springs or the tech parts of albany or a few, very few other select locations, poo poo is dire

same in upstate new york, and also in new hampshire (actually new hampshire has the rudest people i've ever encountered, and i lived in fuckin new york my whole life rofl), and also same here in oregon outside of portland and ashland

rurals in vermont and (at least western) massachussettes are like the only exception to this rule that i have seen

I've been coming around on Gillibrand from a "she's ok I guess, especially for a New York dem" perspective but Lehman Sisters was just dumb as gently caress, but at least it was just a dumb thing she said and not like a yes vote for whatever Trump approved monster comes before the senate. That being said I'm willing to give her a 1-time mulligan if she at least continues to vote correctly.

she backed cuomo over nixon, that is a far worse thing than anything she has said or done.

she was also a blue dog when she was my representative. i have no faith at all that she is the progressive she pretends to be.

GalacticAcid posted:

really all the senate dems are dogshit and i hope a governor or something emerges to run in 2020

i'm not as perturbed at the prospect of another 'bad dem' president as some ppl since then at least ppl will feel compelled to organize independently of the campaign apparatus, whereas with, say, a president sanders, all the left-liberal energy will go to defending the sitting US president. and recent events have shown that sitting dem officeholders can respond to independent organizing pressure ~ even sitting gop officeholders as in the wake of the teachers' strikes

i think the only two options for progressive democrats is to hope and pray for president sanders, or hope and pray for their chosen centrist candidate to lose bigly to trump and for the blue wave to not happen this year. and well, the blue wave is in serious jeopardy since the democrats have been sabotaging progressives and backing ex-intelligence officers and even anti-abortion dems, so hey.

i used to live nearby in delanson so i was worried this might have included people i know. thankfully it appears that nobody i know out that way was involved or knew anyone who was involved, either.

i don't know how the gently caress that limo driver blew that intersection, i've driven that road many times and there's multiple signs saying 'yo there's a stop sign ahead' and it happened in the middle of the day. the families should sue the everloving poo poo out of the limo company.
