I've always said that, if you call your opponent a Nazi, you have officially lost the argument and are considered to be irrelevant. Pointing and laughing at the loser is optional but encouraged.

San Jose police Monday morning said they have made an arrest in the shooting at the Valley Fair mall that occurred on Black Friday.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. Last night SJPD located and arrested the suspect responsible for the triple shooting at Valley Fair Mall that occurred on November 28th," SJPD said in a social media post at about 9:30 a.m.

The suspect is 17 years old and police are not releasing his name because he is a juvenile. Police said the suspect in the gang-related shooting was already on probation for carrying a loaded firearm in February of this year.

He should/I] be tried as an adult, IMO, but ...

I stopped reading at the phrase "I work with" knowing the rest is a lie.

Of course it is. You and I both know DUmp'Rats would rather cut off an appendage than actually work for a living.

If Russia wasn't bogged down in Ukraine, it would be actively working against the US. So, I support Ukraine as a hearty "Well, **** you too!" to Russia.

That said, barring some unforeseen, spontaneous catastrophic operational collapse among Russian forces, Ukraine doesn't have the manpower to retake its territory, and they don't have the time to attrit Russia to any degree that would move Putin.

Putin was trying to rebuild the Soviet empire. Had his invasion succeeded quickly, his next target(s) would have been some combination of Moldova (in which he has surrogates), Georgia (more surrogates, already controlling part of the country), and the Baltic countries. Whatever the outcome in Ukraine, Russia's stock of tanks, IFVs, planes, ships, SAMs, munitions, and cannon fodder have been so depleted that I don't know if Putin, who is 73, will live long enough to see Russia's military rebuilt enough to resume his conquest ambitions. Ukraine has done Europe and the world a great service in that respect.

Russian : Ukrainian losses are around 3:1 or 4:1, courtesy of Russia's mindless meatgrinder tactics. That out-balances the population difference. Putin and his sycophants under-estimated Ukraine's ability and will to resist conquest by a genocidal enslaver, ordinary Russian men are paying for it in blood and limbs, and Putin's pride and arrogance ensure the bloodletting will continue.

MAGA nurse I work with and "professional nurses"


Yesterday, I made a quip at work about management's efforts to reduce our pay/overtime while still getting us to do the work (for less money). MAGA RN had just finished a double shift, because there was no one to replace her after her first shift ended. She asked me for union help to negotiate the way management was trying to claim she couldn't get overtime for her double shift.

When we were done with strategizing, I made the comment "well, now that we aren't 'professionals' anymore, I suspect we will see more of this from management".

Here's how her mental gymnastics worked to defend the DoE decision to downgrade RNs from professional status:

MAGA RN: This is only to make it so universities can't gouge students trying to get Masters and Doctorate degrees in nursing.
AllyCat: So, why wouldn't the DoE have made it so ALL graduate programs less expensive? Why just nurses and teachers? (yes, I know it's more than those 2 groups)

MR: Well, it only affects graduate-degree nurses, not us (Bachelors).
AC: It is interesting these are both professions with largely female workers.

MR: This is how the DoE is recognizing that women have lower earning power and this helps women in the long run be able to afford school.
AC: (walks away shaking head)

This is how they are rationalizing this. I only had 20 seconds and would love to have launched into "Why downgrade nurses at any level?" and any number of other arguments, but MAGA is telling women this is good for them and helps them.
