Did you ever get an answer on this? I know he saw the post because he spends A LOT of time on here...

when was that?

She was close. Wait. No she wasn’t.

The city of Chicago’s leaders are a joke. He literally has the worst approval rating of any mayor in the country. He has a 6% approval rating and an 80% disapproval rating. if you told me to make a $100 wager that paid $1,000,000 that the next mayor would be light years worse than Lori lightfoot. I would be very mad right now because I would only have that $100.

Can you explain what makes 10/7 a genocide? It was certainly a horrific war crime.

Well except for the fact that it still doesnt work like it use to.

He doesn’t have videos of him burning flag. Nor does he have flag burning parties.

Make America Benevolent Again?

SCARBOROUGH: So let me ask you, Mr. Mayor, those all sound like great programs. I’m curious, would you also like to get federal funding to help put 5000 more cops on the street in Chicago? Would that help drive down crime? JOHNSON: Well, look, policing by itself is not the full strategy. SCARBOROUGH [INTERRUPTING]: No, I understand that. You’ve talked about the other things you want. And I said those are good and important programs. But I’m asking also, would 5000 more police officers on the street in Chicago be helpful to go along with all of those social programs that a lot of cities are engaging in and having success with? JOHNSON: Well, look, here’s the best way I can put it, Joe, is that in the 90s, when I was in high school, we had 3000 more police officers, and we had 900 people being murdered every single year in Chicago. It’s just not policing alone. Of course we want more detectives. SCARBOROUGH: Of course I know policing alone, but, of course it’s not policing alone. You’ve told me everything else you want. I’m curious, and this does come down to an ideological difference between people: do you believe that the streets of Chicago would be safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the streets of Chicago? JOHNSON: I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing. Look, I’m not saying – SCARBOROUGH: That not the question I asked. My question is, and I just need a yes or no. Do you believe the streets of Chicago would be safer if you got all of those other extraordinary programs put back into place, which do have a history of being successful, if that’s complimented by having 5000 more cops on the streets of Chicago. JOHNSON: I don’t believe that we should narrow it down to just police officers is what I’m saying – SCARBOROUGH: I’m not – JOHNSON [CONT’D]: – that is an antiquated approach. I’m saying we’ve invested in detectives. SCARBOROUGH: Are you hearing what I’m saying? I’m agreeing with you that all of these other social programs are extraordinarily important. I just need a yes or a no. And then this will be the last time I ask if you get all of those other social programs that $800 million that New York City does, Los Angeles, other people do with great success? Would an additional 5000 cops on the streets in Chicago help compliment those programs to make Chicago safer? JOHNSON: Look, we are working hard to make sure that our police department is fully supported. I don’t believe that just simply putting out an arbitrary number around police officers is the answer. What I’m saying is policing and affordable housing. It’s policing and mental and behavioral health care services. It’s policing and youth employment. It’s a full package. Of course, we want to make sure that our police department is fully supported.

I'm also bad at 'rithmetic and have no idea what that means, but I'm fairly sure it has something to do with stalling

The site is back up. And all is right with the world.

Agreed. The adjustment must be tough, esp with a language hurdle. I thought he looked completely lost in his match last year. Granted, he was thrown into the fire and it's just one data point. Six months is also an eternity in college sports time and I'm sure we'll see a big jump, but he's got a lot of muscle memory to overcome. He'll be a solid next man up since Figs has been battling injuries and will need a bit of load management

I am 60, but I read at a 61 year old level.

Easy there, I am proud to say that I can proficiently read and write at a 5th grade level. 6th if you don't get too crazy with the syllables

On a family trip a couple of weeks ago to Yellowstone, we passed though Montana and I played this song for the family. My mother in law in the seat behind me had the same reaction as Ike Turner.

From Wikipedia: At 1:55, right after the chorus, Zappa plays a long guitar solo. A middle section with vocals by Tina Turner & The Ikettes follows. Zappa follows singing the last verses and finally there's the coda, where the line from the chorus ("Moving to Montana soon...," sung by Tina Turner and the Ikettes) is repeated constantly and answered by a high-pitched "Yippy-Aye-O-Ty-Ay" (sung by Kin Vassy). This goes on until it fades out towards the six-and-a-half minute mark. Of the Ikettes' harmonies, Zappa later said: ”It was so difficult, that one part in the middle of the song "Montana", that the three girls rehearsed it for a couple of days. Just that one section. You know the part that goes "I'm pluckin' the ol' dennil floss..."? Right in the middle there. And one of the harmony singers got it first. She came out and sang her part and the other girls had to follow her track. Tina was so pleased that she was able to sing this that she went into the next studio where Ike [Turner] was working and dragged him into the studio to hear the result of her labor. He listened to the tape and he goes, ‘What is this shit?’ and walked out"

This is typical of wingers. Instead of defending or calling our what they're own people do, deflect to something some Democrat proposed to do (but didn't actually do) about 20 years ago. And a Democrat that was never President.

Naw, we’d see that you haven’t been lmfatao.

whoops / my bad

Trump just getting things done that others before him couldn’t.

There's probably a chill dinosaur that thought every dinosaur should be able to hunt on a game trail in the Jurassic period and the dilophasuarus (bearded/toxic venom spitting dinosaurs) cancelled him...
