President Biden's Interview About Classified Documents In His Garage Shows That He'd Clearly Rather Talk About His Corvette - The Autopian
I’m not sure how much attention you’ve been paying to this – I can’t say I really have been – but President Biden was just interviewed over two days by special counsel Robin Hur regarding the handling of classified materials. It seems Biden had some classified documents from the days when he was...www.theautopian.com
Saturday Night Live occasionally knocks it out out of the park. Here's "Katie Britt". Put your coffee down...
“And so I talked to both of them and obviously, then finally accepted doing it, but still kind of thought, ‘Is this even for real?’ I mean, I haven’t even given a floor speech yet, you know at the Senate yet, but was excited,” she said. “And particularly as you … mentioned earlier, being you know, the only Republican female with school-aged kids and kind of bringing that like next-generation voice.”
Britt laughed about Johansson’s parody of her, saying she was “pretty pumped” the actress played her on “Saturday Night Live.”
“And I said you know, look, it could be worse. I mean, Scarlett Johansson. Here, you have ‘Black Widow.’ They bring in someone from ‘Avengers’ to play me in the cold open. I’m here for it,” she said.
Maybe Johansson supports her! Nope.Britt says Mike Johnson told her ‘it will be fine’ ahead of SOTU response
My feelings toward Britt are borderline pity. But then I remember she is a *ing US Senator with enormous power. She seems to have a sever lack of intelligence and self awareness. Again...sort of pity...but mostly what the * are you doing in the Senate?
This seemed obviously inadvisable, and yet it doesn't seem like the GOP felt they had much choice. The fact that both the Senate leader and the House leader both asked her, separately, feels like a pretty desperate situation. The GOP is very concerned about losing basically all support from the women who aren't bat**** insane voting bloc.
I'm gonna go with "wrong takeaway" here.
Mainly because she's married to ex Alabama football player Wesley Britt. She played that up a lot in her commercials before the election. As you see with Tooberville, if you played or coached at either Alabama or Auburn you're pretty much a cinch to get elected by the hillbillies.Britt says Mike Johnson told her ‘it will be fine’ ahead of SOTU response

LOL... wait, an anonymous source? In an anti-Trump administration article? I remember when that was a sure sign of fake news from the biased media according to this thread.![]()

Measure 110 did not reduce Oregon’s drug problems. The drug-overdose-death rate increased by 43 percent in 2021, its first year of implementation—and then kept rising. The latest CDC data show that in the 12 months ending in September 2023, deaths by overdose grew by 41.6 percent, versus 2.1 percent nationwide. No other state saw a higher rise in deaths. Only one state, Vermont, ranks higher in its rate of illicit drug use.
Neither did decriminalization produce a flood of help-seeking. The replacement for criminal penalties, a $100 ticket for drug possession with the fine waived if the individual called a toll-free number for a health assessment, with the aim of encouraging treatment, failed completely. More than 95 percent of people ignored the ticket, for which—in keeping with the spirit of Measure 110—there was no consequence. The cost of the hotline worked out to about $7,000 per completed phone call, according to The Economist. These realities, as well as associated disorder such as open-air drug markets and a sharp rise in violent crime—while such crime was falling nationally—led Oregonians to rethink their drug policy.
Though our polarized politics tends to frame policy choices as on-off switches, in truth they are more like a dial with many intervening settings. That dial can be productively turned in many parts of the country. Many states are far more punitive toward drug users than Oregon was before Measure 110 passed. They overemphasize incarceration of people who use drugs, they do not provide adequate, publicly funded health treatment and health insurance, and they do not use criminal justice productively to discourage drug use (for instance, by using arrests and probations as leverage to get people into drug courts and treatment). If these states could be persuaded to dial down their criminal-justice approach to approximate what Oregon had before Measure 110, except with adequately funded, evidence-based prevention and treatment, substantial gains in public health and safety would likely follow. The future of successful drug-policy reform is not greater laxity in states that are already quite progressive in their approach to drug use; it is using criminal justice and public health together in a balanced, pragmatic fashion, as Oregon is now poised to do.
Ah.The US effort to ban asbestos stalled after President Donald Trump came to office in 2017, with his administration overseeing the EPA.
In 2005 testimony to Congress Mr Trump, a real estate developer, had described asbestos as "the greatest fire-proofing material ever made".
In a 1997 book, The Art of the Comeback, he said the movement against the substance was being led by the Mafia, "because it was often mob-related companies that would do the asbestos removal" work.
In 2012, he tweeted that the World Trade Center would not have "burned down" in the 11 September 2001 attacks if its "incredibly powerful fire retardant asbestos" had not been removed.
Trump now works as a structural engineer but nobody will hire him as such, for some strange reason.What the ****, America?![]()
The US just announced an asbestos ban. What took so long?
The move comes decades after dozens of other Western nations took steps to ban the carcinogen.www.bbc.co.uk
Ah.
We have to be #1 in everything. This includes deaths related to asbestos.What the ****, America?![]()

His IQ is so high that they currently do not have a way of defining it by measurement.The man must have an IQ of at least 200, with all that knowledge he's carrying.

The BBC article claims 40,000 deaths a year attributable to asbestos in the USA. If 45's administration stymied the whole thing after the 2016 regulation change and it's only now coming into force (with 12 years to phase it out? Wat?) that means another 280,000 excess deaths attributable to him...This includes deaths related to asbestos.
To be fair, there's been some level of phase-out for a while; it used to be that household fireproof equipment, brake pads, roof shingles, and flooring was made of asbestos, but they've been off the market for decades.The BBC article claims 40,000 deaths a year attributable to asbestos in the USA.

There's no way it will be phased out in 12 years. We did such a poor job isolating it after it was partially banned in 89, I wouldn't be surprised if we can even account for 50% of it still in houses and infostructures. Just throw a rug over it and forget about it. Problem solved!The BBC article claims 40,000 deaths a year attributable to asbestos in the USA.

Well he's already given his health advise, "if you're sick, drink bleach". Next thing he'll be demanding that lead be put back into paint.Trump now works as a structural engineer but nobody will hire him as such, for some strange reason.
Trump should put out a sequel to "The Art of the Deal". Call it: "You can be anything! How to be the Best ____ Ever!"Well he's already given his health advise, "if you're sick, drink bleach". Next thing he'll be demanding that lead be put back into paint.
Don't forget fuel! Make America Aggressive Again!Well he's already given his health advise, "if you're sick, drink bleach". Next thing he'll be demanding that lead be put back into paint.
There's a lot of corruption in governments all over the place sadly. BTW did they charge Hunter yet? what about Epstein's list, released yet? I must admit I haven't been keeping up with American affairs but I've seen a few pics from the "laptop from hell" on twitter and was baffled. How is it possible to remain out of jail when there's damning evidence like that floating around the internet. I've read news that there was some kind of coverup too? wth is going on in America?Republicans: "Law and order."
