The DUmpster / Re: Do what the French do.
« Last post by SVPete on May 29, 2026, 10:58:14 AM »
I don't know about wherever applegrove lives, but schools and companies here in Silicon Valley have been doing this with their covered parking lots ("car parks" is Brit-speak, BTW) and buildings for a decade or two. The two issues that limit this here is that many parking lots are not covered, so it's not a simple as, "Slap solar panels on it and you're done." As for buildings, many older buildings roofs were designed before HVAC became common and are fully- or over-loaded with the addition of HVAC on the rooves. My previous employer's roof was so overloaded that it had a partial roof collapse.

But if the Enviros stop hijacking farmland for solar farms, that would be good.

First off, who is paying for all this? Taxpayers or are you forcing business to foot the bill? Second of all you idiots should just move to Europe and show us how its done. You won't like it.

SPLC Wants Indictment Thrown Out For “Vindictive Prosecution”

https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/05/splc-wants-indictment-thrown-out-for-vindictive-prosecution/

Quote
The latest development is that SPLC has filed a Motion to Dismiss the Indictment for Vindictive Prosecution, focused very heavily on public statements from Trump and others in his administration both before and after the indictment.

From the Motion:

Quote
President Trump’s triumphant statement on April 24, 2026, three days after an indictment was unsealed against the Southern Poverty Law Center (“the SPLC”), was the latest manifestation of a top-down, retributive campaign in which he directed his Justice Department to go after those individuals and groups he deemed his political enemies, including the SPLC.

To carry out the President’s directive, others in the Administration targeted the SPLC, which now faces criminal charges for exercising its First Amendment right to identify, report on, and criticize extremist hate groups. The Administration has falsely accused the SPLC of being “anti-Christian,” of aiding the Biden Administration’s “weaponization” of the Department of Justice, of participating in political violence, and, most recently, of helping to “rig” the 2020 election against President Donald Trump. These examples of this Administration’s animus over the past year culminated in the criminal charges against the SPLC—an indictment premised on conclusory accusations but devoid of provable facts or a proper statement of the law….

Three Women in Maine Prison Join Lawsuit Alleging Harassment by Trans Inmate

https://hotair.com/john-s-2/2026/05/28/three-women-join-lawsuit-alleging-harassment-by-trans-inmate-n3815388

Just last month I wrote about an incident like this in Scotland. A trans woman who was being kept in a women's prison there was charged with sexually assaulting fellow inmates. Also last month, a woman serving time at a prison in Windham, Maine filed a lawsuit alleging she was sexually harassed by a trans inmate named Andrea Balcer.

Quote
Katie Mountain is serving a 10-month sentence for violating probation at the women's prison in Windham. In a lawsuit, she said she is bunking with Andrea Balcer, a transgender resident at the prison.

In that lawsuit filed on Thursday, Mountain alleged that Balcer has subjected her to graphic sexual stories, trapped her in the bathroom, forcibly kissed her and made repeated threats of rape and impregnation.

The lawsuit also alleges that Balcer told Mountain, "Don’t worry, if you don’t wake up, it’s because I smothered you with a pillow.”
...
Yesterday, three more female inmates at the same prison joined Mountain's lawsuit, claiming they too have experienced Balcer's harassment.

Quote
In the updated suit, inmate Jennifer Albert alleges Balcer “subjected her to unwanted sexual contact,” including one incident that involved digital penetration while Albert was suffering from a back injury.

Inmate Michaela Sargent, using masculine pronouns, claims Balcer “routinely harassed her with graphic threats of rape and exposed himself to her.”

Danielle Foster, in the suit, charges that Balcer stood naked in her room while she slept and suggested doing “things” to her in her sleep. Foster also said she was forced to witness other transgender female inmates exposing themselves.

“All four women allege that when they reported these incidents or refused to affirm Balcer’s gender identity, they were met with retaliation,” Dill wrote in a press release. ...

A male claiming to be a woman in order to get potentially intimate access to real women? Who could not foresee that?!

Knowing DUmmies', DEMmies, and other Progs' 11 years of lying about things Trump "said" and "did", I'm sure the context, if Trump said something resembling what kt claimed, will show that the "reasons" will be lies. As for proper "investigation", the hoped-for shampeachment proceeding(s) will be perjury-filled and be

"They'll find a reason to impeach me".

So said Donald Trump. In the event that Democrats were to win the Congress in November?

But, not to worry Donald. Unlike yourself, all charges will be adequately investigated, with witnesses under oath. There will be no seashells.

If you are not guilty of any crimes, you will not be impeached. But high crimes and misdemeanors are still the standard that must be met.

Your attempted theft of taxpayers dollars from the Treasury for your individual slush fund will be a good start.

Embroiling the country in a war in the Middle East without consultation with the Congress deserves an explanation. You have done great harm to America and the economies of the rest of the world. You do not get to slither away to Mar-a-Lago without some answers.

Your side deals of making fortunes for yourself and your family are all illegal. It is forbidden by the Constitution. You can pretend that the emoluments clause does not exist or does not apply to the Trump family but it is still part of the Constitution and the law of the land.

You should have to relinquish all your ill-begotten gains. The Presidency was not created for you to enrich yourself.

Yes, there is a possibility that you may be impeached.

Then sentence highlighted in bold made me laugh. Kentuck is a complete moron.

The Democrats' downward spiral could be hard to stop, regardless of 2028.

The internal conflict and backstabbing, whatever fallout there is from the next census, and not having as many built-in electoral advantages as they once did will be hard to overcome.

We can only hope that will keep them out of power for at least 10 years. I think the major disaster their hero mandami turned out to be is an eye opener for a lot of them! :thatsright:
