Anyone know where I can find that leaked list of Oath Keepers?

E: apparently this is the poo poo released last year that people have been digging through. Wouldn't mind knowing if any of the local cops are on that list. 5gb on ddosecrets.

Good question.

I can't find the file. It does look like local news channels have access though. I noticed some local channel hits calling out specific departments/divisions.

This thread has more on the ruling.

I would say “What’s next? Refusing to cover rabies vaccination because you have a belief that people who come into contact with animals are spiritually tainted and should die horrible deaths?”

That doesn’t work as parody because it understates the impact of this ruling.

I expected this decision, after all Hobby Lobby won their "religious freedom" suit as it pertains to insurance and birth control.

What surprised me was the reasoning for the ruling, which seems more batshit insane than normal.

Marine Corps units often tied holiday leave to completion of annual training. If it wasn’t completed, your leave wasn’t approved.

After 20 years of the same classes, I got really good at finding the points I could skip to in videos and still trigger the switch that said I watched it and could mash through all the answers very quickly.

I've seen similar in the Army.

What always got me, was how "check the box" the training was. I never learned anything from the training. In fact, I spent most of my for that "training" figuring out when to push the magic button to give me credit with minimal effort on my part.

But hey, if Joe isn't told by the internet not to rape someone, they will.

Remember when the GOP kept claiming that people were altering votes? Remember how angry they were that someone was cheating the election?

As usual, the GOP was projecting their crimes into a situation. We now have video of the voting machines being tampered with in Georgia:

The hope is that land interaction weakens it. The hurricane force wind probability chart makes the wind threat more of an issue for that swath from Port Charlotte up to the wasteland south of Polk County. Storm surge will be an issue for everyone, especially on the north and east side of the storm.

https://www.weather.gov/media/tbw/dssbriefs/dssbrief.pdf

NWS is pushing the new threat is inland flooding from the 2ft of rain this is going to drop over 36 hours on central Florida. Stay inside, don’t drive if you can avoid it, don’t drive through flood water, evacuate if you are at risk for flooding.

2 ft of rain in 36 hours. On top of the 10-12 ft storm surge. Maybe we should stop insisting on living in areas that are regularly leveled.

Same.

Talk of abandoning New Orleans, Tampa areas etc to the sea comes up everytime a big storm hits the gulf. It gets couched in talk of insurance etc but no ones talking about abandoning Los Angeles when wildfires burn out its suburbs every other year.

LA might be a bad example, I've always been critical of an area where two of its seasons are Firestorm and Mudslide.

I believe that we have made some incredibly stupid choices for city placement/planning all over the nation. We have a bunch of places that either require the next man made world wonder to be fixed or should just be abandoned entirely. Gulf Coast states tend to get picked on more because of the frequency we see them fail. At this point, the feds will be paying the Landlords of Florida leaving the actual residents high and dry.

What gets me is how these places are rebuilt/insured. We are now up to almost a major hurricane a year (is it more?) hitting Florida. The Federal gov insures this place against flooding, which we know will occur. From what I can see, any improved building codes don't seem to be making things more survivable. Where do we, as a nation, draw the line and say, "enough is enough".

I don't know the solution. I don't want forced relocations or anything like that. But we should have a plan in place that somehow either draws down these areas or we need to start on some kind of Great Work to save those places. Our method of rebuild and hope for the best doesn't work. All that does is displace renters from their homes.

I'm fine with keeping these places (hell, New Orleans is an awesome place), but if we want to keep them, we need to act like it.

Concussions aren't real.
And if they are real, the risk is overblown.
And if the risk isn't overblown, we have mechanisms in place to stop players going on the field with them.
And if the team has subverted the mechanisms, the fault lies with them alone.
And if there's evidence of a systemic problem, well, what are ya gonna do, stop watching the greatest sport on earth?

That is already happening. Over the years the NFL has been losing viewers. I know I watch way less than I used to.

I wonder how long the sport will hang on or if it will even be the same sport in the future.
