    Tim hates laws

    Holloway’s registration was expired and his insurance had been cancelled
    Crimes. I don’t know PA law, but insurance is a felony in some states. Then, look, the now proven criminal’s vehzwas witched and, more criminal evidence.

  • On the post: T-Mobile Backs Off Price Hike They Pretended Wasn’t A Price Hike

    Reality world

    Tim again. Like others said, this article (and tech articles in general) are way off the point of what was suggested. First everyone was flat out wrong about the plans being targeted. These were plans dating to 3G and earlier eras. Second, “price hike” is a flat out headline grabbing lie. The 300m 100mb plan, the oldest still supported, was/is 39.47 per month. Per line. The lowest current new plan is 34.85 per line. That’s the plan the migration would move to. Oh, and they went from downloading one bella and whistles web page per month to over 50 GB of data at full speed. Third there was no pending surprise. The migration notice was sent out to customers., or being sent out. A friend’s mum uses her cell only for the qr code for her doctor, service wise. Making less than 10 calls a month and rarely using data service. She got a notice of the pending change. Her bill would have gone down. As I’ve said many times, my T-Mobile account predates the US buyout. I’ve been. Nothing but happy with them for over 25 years. They have the highest communication quality ratings for. Reason. Yes they backed off of the plan change. Or, more accurately, are migrating customers plans to the new ones at the same price rather than the discounted price. 1/100 will save money with the change. But anyone with more than a basic limited call plan is loosing all. All because psychotic self righteous tech progressives decided to claim monopoly bad see told you.

    If you own a Toyota

    … your an idiot. Toyota is int the 2010s and 2020s what Ford (cars) was in the 1990s. Toyota has more recalls for true safety (life and limb) than any other manufacturer since 2012. We’re talking parts falling off level stupidity!

    There’s still the untested premise of presidential immunity. Something the Supreme Court will eventually need to decide. The Nixon doctrine. Many legal and constitutional scholars are behind Trump in his claims, even ones who hate him. The idea is that a president is beholden to congress alone. Congress tried and acquitted the president over Jan 6 (the Colorado case has no standing). Congress had the opportunity to impeach the President for Georgia, where Trump claims and nobody has shown evidence to the contrary, he was acting to verify election integrity. , the the case will likely be thrown out on appeal. That leaves the personal wealth lawsuit. Which is dead in the water despite the theatre of going forward. The case hinges on two points: Trump over values his assets and Trump received better banking rates because of that. And here the case is completely dead. ALL evidenced shows that trumps real estate assets are fairly valued. If not occasionally under valued. The banks, with experts in reality, did their own evidential review and agreed with the stated values. The current judge can rule as he wants. It won’t survive appeal. The judge is not an agent, broker, researcher, investor, or in any other way qualified to judge property values on his own. This case is a complete acquittal on appeal. Your list of “crimes” is less than paper thin. The only case of real consequence is the mishandling of records. And that’s a hard one to foretell. Trump had within his chain of possession documents that may or may not have been, be, classified. Documents he twice petitioned to have reviewed. (Note court documents confirm that). What it comes down to, though, is possession. As he did not personally remove the documents, nor did he direct anyone to. They were collected by staffers. Boxed by staffers, and moved by staffers. The question is wilful retention. After they left the White House. That’s going to be very hard to prove. A single factual claim stands in the way of “lying” about returns: most Americans loose their keys once a month. A few hundred (low) to a few thousand (high) pieces of paper in 10s of thousands not being properly sorted prior to ANY sorting of any materials is fairly easy to conclude potential. And that’s completely reasonable doubt. These cases boil down to only two possibilities: A) hate the man so much toss everything at him and pray something sticks no matter how preposterous the claims are B) try to find a way to tie up the Defendant enough to disrupt the election You can make your own decision which is the truth.

    complete with evidence of his decline
    NYT and WSJ m, more reliable sources, have commented on that as well. Concerning. It’s too early to tell if it’s simply age based decline or dementia, as with Biden. Neither one should be in office based on health concerns. Sadly it looks like those will be our choices. So you can chose the man who “follows orders” and “does what [he’s] told” Or the man who shoots from the hip and does what he thinks is best.

    I’m agnostic. If god wants me to believe he or she will tell me so. I’m also very well read. Btw, Buddhism isn’t a religion, it’s a philosophy. Just because the Tibet Zen movement has twisted it into a religion doesn’t make the whole the same. Platonics is in the same range of thought.

    Yes! And I’d be unlikely to get many republican votes. With my free full government healthcare, right to abortion, guaranteed social security, and gutting international military expenditures. Well, maybe, with my heavy handed restrictions on hand guns (to actually reduce gun violence), but I’d ban concealed carry and legalise open carry. Mandatory long term gun training for ownership and annual renewal testing.

    He implied that injections of bleach
    The only persons that made such an implication was a far left progressive blogger.
    And he did next-to-nothing to condemn anti-vaxxer propaganda
    You have an absolute right to not be medically experimented on. It’s a person’s choice to take it or not.
    His administration pulled off a minor miracle
    Far from minor. I heard of. Thought impossible. Oh, and if you look at actual vaccination rates you’ll find the overwhelming majority of the population took it. Dispute the dems declaring they weren’t going to take it.

    but somehow you dumbfucks couldn't bring yourselves to fund it Actually, what slowed the buildout was not funding, but lawsuits… mostly over environmental concerns but a few over land rights as well. The land fights were a lost cause. Fighting eminent domain will just about always loose. The environmental impact was more important. Trumps wall sucked. Now Biden is building the same wall in the same spots, Since big bad Trump took the blame and Biden is just doing what was set. Unfortunately wildlife will suffer but it’s easier to fix the problem after it’s built than re litigate The kicker, Biden authorised the sale of the materials for the wall at pennys to the dollar. And now the administration is buying new materials (sometimes the same) for full cost all over again. As for > davec’s immigration mess… the answer is move. California is a sanctuary state. That was their decision. Rational people are a minority in that state. They called for them with open arms, rational states said fine, take them.

    If he was concerned about Americans dying he’d be pushing hand gun bans, not rifles.

    I never have and never will, understand seeing race. So fucking what. Race doesn’t make a person, nor make any person more or less important. Again, I not only voted for Obama, I works in both campaigns. Race has nothing to do with my choice. Many of his pre-progressive-corrupted policies were good. Obama care is not one of them. As long as the current crop of democrats are at the top we will continue the bull policies of spending excessive amounts of taxpayer dollars on other nations while we continue to ignore problems here. If the dems would top fixing all our country’s money to other states and stop with their one world push, we could fix our country: first. For all your complaints about republicans and their religious beliefs in policy, all but the most extreme (that’s definitely not Trump), would keep this country far freer than many. Clearly you have no experience in the rest of the world. You talk of dictators and autocracy. You don’t have a clue. You’re a sheltered progressive who probably never left the country (if you did, it was to Europe). You don’t have the first clue what extremism and theocracy is like. You’re an “armchair quarterback” and “backseat driver”. There are far more important things in society than worries about a gay man dressed as a woman being allowed in a women’s toilet; which appears to be one of your more important concerns. 99% of the world doesn’t even let a man dress as a woman. We have millions of undocumented trespassers in this country today thanks to Biden. Camping on streets. Breaking laws. Dragging down our resources with no return. We have out of control costs on the most of the most basic needs. We have directly involved ourselves in other country’s wars with zero benefits to our country. This country has real problems today. Your progressive wish list has nothing to do with making our country better or our lives better. It’s a list of micro populations less than life threatening concerns.

  • On the post: Streaming’s Latest ‘Innovation’: Ads When You Hit Pause

    It’s interesting

    … how some people hate advertising, most put up with it, and some of us love it. I don’t watch the big sports games, like the Super Bowl. But the next day I’m on YouTube watching the stream of the game with all the boring sports taken out, just wall to wall advertising. I own box sets of advertising from 1930 to the 1980s. Subscribe to “found footage” channels that run adverts found on old home recordings. I still wonder why nobody creates an advertising channel or service for people like me. Kind of like Demolition Man, I’d be hooked on an all advertising radio station or tv channel.

    See, more labels. You are fixated on race. Obama’s care plan sucked. So did the republican plan. We’re not going to get social healthcare from either party right now. As I’ve said before, AOC has a bizarre and fantastical idea in the environmental not rooted in any form of fact. But she has very good social policy, even if she can’t figure out the economics of those ideas.
