Why I Will Not Cast My Electoral Vote for Donald Trump.
Oh, and he’s a Texas Elector. -
Good morning Hamsters. At least it’s only ground mist and not rain at 6 and a nippy 46 so we are thankful. Our rain total for the monsoon days is 3.5″. Everything is soggy, and about the only plants that look happy are the pansies, but they smile anyway. Sunshine is in the forecast for today. Yea.

Yup, and the NYT is giving him his 15 minutes of fame as far as they can stretch it even though he will be replaced because he resigned and his protest amounts to nada in the vote. -
Dayaam!! A 50 BMG is one thing but a Truvelo CMS 20x42mm? Yes, a 20 MMX42MM!!!

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of folks.
The Texas chapter of one of the nation’s most powerful unions filed for bankruptcy after losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit for its smear campaign against a Houston janitorial company.
A jury ordered Service Employees International Union Texas, also known as SEIU District Five, to pay Professional Janitorial Service of Houston $7.8 million in September for making false claims about the company during a campaign to rally support from workers and local activists.

Brent Southwell, the CEO of the janitorial company, said it plans to continue seeking information from the union to ensure that it is not hiding money to dodge the jury award. He said the company could pursue action against the union’s national office, which has more than 1.5 million members, if the Texas branch is not able to pay the judgment.
“The SEIU won’t escape its fate after attacking my company,” Southwell said in a press release. “We will keep this process going for as long as the SEIU wants, first by making them reveal their secrets and then by making the union’s Washington, D.C., office pay for its sins.”
The union’s national office did not return a request for comment about the lawsuit or the resulting bankruptcy. -
#4 Ms Adee, I read a lot of the comments and most were saying how brave/great he was, BUT, it is the New York Times! SMH!

(Washington DC)—Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained records from the U.S. Secret Service revealing that its travel expenses for the First Family’s 2015 Hawaiian vacation cost taxpayers $1.2 million, which bring the total cost of the vacation trip to at least $4.8 million. This was the Obamas’ eighth Hawaiian family vacation. The trip has become an annual event for the Obamas. To date, Obama’s and his family’s travel expenses total at least $85,029,819.

5, 8, Subsonic at 1000 fps. 15″ barrel. That is more of a long range grenade launcher. It may toss one out to 1000 meters but you must aiming at the sky to get there.

Great O/C pic!
#5,8,11: I would imagine that thing is a beast to fire and at 25 lbs, I would hate to be the poor schmuck who has to carry it. One of the commenters suggested a projectile package of 4 oz 000 tungsten Buckshot. Makes one think of crowd control at a muzzy funeral. -
#6 Sarge: A timely post indeed, thanks. The company where I work is currently looking to replace our janitorial service; any company that B-Slaps the SEIU is good in my book.

Some of you may find this interesting: Electromagnetic readings at the tomb of Christ.
I wish I could remember the name of the book I lost about the Shroud of Turin. I remember it had a yellow cover, but that’s about it. It was a scientist who was studying not only the shroud, but reviewing the previous science released on the Shroud. He made some really compelling arguments,answering one of my questions about the blood drips in the image. Then, near the end, he made an observation that gave me goose bumps.
On the Shroud, the toes are “hanging down,” not more horizontal as if the body were laying on the slab. If they are pointed more down….it’s as if the body was raised up. -
Boeing has spent over $4 billion on the new Air Force One. Trump just cancelled the order due to outlandish over runs. Of course, he can’t do that yet, but he can certainly signal his intent.

The Dallas based elector threatening to default on his obligation is an attention hogging EMT in Dallas. He always seems to manage to show up at high profile events and get himself recognized by the press. You all know the type. If he were actually an honorable person, and found himself unable to honor his commitment (made prior to accepting the “honor” of serving as an elector and voting for the nominee of the party, he should simply resign his position and pass the baton to someone else. No, he’s an attention hog and will most likely show up running for some office or another, citing his credentials as a certified “hero” as qualifying. Not an honorable person from the very start who will step on anyone who gets in his way on the ladder to stardom.

#2,16: The guy strikes me as self serving; one who uses his own self-proclaimed morality as a club to vanquish his foes and burnish his reputation. He strikes me the same as the guy in the New Testament who blows the trumpet before making his donation, who prays loudly on the street corner, who lengthens his tassles and broadens his tefillin to make himself appear more pious. He has already received his reward in full.

I read an article that said there are to of these guys. One did the right thing and resigned. The other is a toad who is planning some sort of protest vote.

#18: That is a great reason to eliminate the electors of the electoral college, just award the points that each state represents and be done with it. Sadly it seems that we have passed the point to where things like personal honor and genuine integrity had value.

This must be the jerk who continues to do the wrong thing, not the honorable fellow who resigned. -
“This would be a 35% tax on all Americans—a tax that especially hurts low-income families. Maybe the slogan should be #MakeAmericaVenezuela,” Representative Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican, tweeted in response to Trump.

There has been unprecedented bipartisan support for “Mad Dog” Mattis’ nomination, as many lawmakers are fearful of receiving a vigorous ass kicking from the retired Marine general.
“He testified on Capitol Hill once, pushed me on the ground, and then took my lunch money,” said Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois. “I’m all about him being SecDef if he stops calling me girl’s names.” -

As far as the crap-weasel who refuses to do his sworn duty, can he be removed?

Give a box to Chris Suprun.
I read his piece in SDs link.
Guess the last 8 years of the most decisive president in the history of the USA is just fine by him.
Lots of words written to excuse his overall scumbaggery.
Interesting he likes John Kasick, another one who would not honor his pledge.
Scumbaggery enjoys company.
It’s not about your conscience, sir.
This ain’t the Late Night with Chris Suprun Show.
This is about the voters of Texas and you signed a pledge.
Fulfill your duty to the voters of Texas or have him replaced immediately.
No other choices. -
Have him replaced immediately. Then take the miscreant out back, hang him by his ankles and whip him with a broom handle for a few days.

Now all we have to do is eliminate the tax on jock straps and muscle cars— -

Although I think a couple other genders like beer too.

Texas lawmakers push bipartisan effort for tax-free tamponsI’m thinkin’ some of those “men” in Congress use ’em themselves, and are looking to save a few pennies.
Not OUR taxpayer pennies, just theirs. -
Increased frequency of C-section may be leading to evolutionary changes in humans.
What they don’t mention is that when the baby was too big for the woman’s pelvis, they usually both died. -

I shudder to think of what would cause those “men” to need them.

Headline was “Democrats Block Tax Relief For Women.” -
The governor of Iowa visited Trump Tower today, purportedly for the ambassador to China job. I swear he was drunk when interviewed in the lobby.

I think this is an excuse to spend other people’s money to cover for the sin of abortion.
Headline: Scientists call on California to provide reparations to forced sterilization victims
ANN ARBOR—California should consider offering reparations to more than 800 survivors of the state’s 20,000 forced sterilizations that took place between 1919 and 1952, say University of Michigan researchers.
Alexandra Minna Stern, U-M professor of American culture and director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, and colleagues spent several years combing through thousands of records of sterilizations carried out in California psychiatric institutions—which disproportionately affected poor and minority patients in the state.
“Given the advanced age and declining numbers of sterilization survivors, time is of the essence for the state to seriously consider reparations,” said Stern, who also co-directs the Reproductive Justice Faculty Program based at U-M’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender.another link
Wiki on the subject
from what I have read, 1/3 of those sterilized in the eugenics program took place in California. All a part of the Eugenics program promoted by Wodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger; may they be slow roasting on a spit in Hell. -
Boney posted a link to Anna Sentina. Bass players tend to be looked down on because they only have four strings. This gal sounds like she is playing a piano.

Marta Altesa on bass.

Oh. I thought it was only the five string bassists looked down upon.

gto – the band came up on my Pandora shuffle a few years ago. This was the first song I heard.

Gabriella Quevedo. She is about 15 yrs old here, only been playing for 3 yrs at this video.

Where did you hear that?
gto,
If that question was directed to me…..I saw it reported on CBS news. Apparently Branstadt has close relationships in China, including the president. -
My 44 was about 43.
But about that bass. -
