They are trying to spin. Recent polling must have shown how devastating "defund the police" has been to the Left, for them to try and spin.

Can't remember her name, but she lost in the 2020 election and she told the Dems that the defund the police messaging was killed them at the election.

So I keep seeing this story, but are there really any Dems who believe it was the Right that wanted to defund the police?

Right. Just like all the lies and bullshit that Spice, Sanders and the 3rd PS. It's all crap

Just accept it as alternative facts like we were supposed to when Sean Spice, PS, made obvious lies about Trump's inauguration (p.s. why lie about something so trivial???)

A maid at a hotel in Denver has been praised for reporting to authorities a huge weapons stash in one of the rooms, which authorities initially feared could be used for a Vegas-style mass shooting.

Four people have been arrested - with one of the four, a recent divorcee, posting a cryptic Facebook message saying he would 'go out in a big way.'

The maid was commended for reporting the 16 long guns, over 1,000 rounds of ammo and body armor, which were found in two rooms at the Maven Hotel.

In a nationally televised address, President Díaz-Canel said US trade sanctions had created economic misery on the communist-run island.
Díaz-Canel did not offer the protesters any concessions in his speech, but instead urged his supporters to physically confront them. "The order to combat has been given," he said at the end of his appearance, "Revolutionaries need to be on the streets."
And the "President" has told his supporters to attack. :lol:

This is a perfect microcosm of the police debate.

White protestors angry that black people are blaming criminals and not police for black people dying.

Virginia earned the top slot in CNBC’s 2021 ranking of America’s best states for business, boasting a strong workforce and a solid education system after weathering a year of the coronavirus pandemic.

The commonwealth also earned top honors from CNBC’s prior review in 2019, becoming the first state to net back-to-back wins. This is Virginia’s fifth win since CNBC first launched the annual ranking in 2007, more than any other state. The business channel did not publish a list in 2020 due to the pandemic.

CNBC scored all 50 states in 10 categories of competitiveness, including infrastructure, economy, cost of living and access to capital, weighing each attribute based on how frequently each state uses it as a selling point in economic development marketing materials.

2. North Carolina
3. Utah

A remarkable new study by a director at one of the largest accounting firms in the world has found that a famous, decades-old warning from MIT about the risk of industrial civilization collapsing appears to be accurate based on new empirical data.

I had to read Limits to Growth for my college economics course. It advocated “sustainability” before that term became a cliche.

The lookback done decades later is interesting. Sort of validates the original concept.

They are trying to spin. Recent polling must have shown how devastating "defund the police" has been to the Left, for them to try and spin.

Can't remember her name, but she lost in the 2020 election and she told the Dems that the defund the police messaging was killed them at the election.
Actually I think that lady WON her election, by a hair, and was pissing and moaning about the Donk message on that caucus phone call....

In other news, SeattleGriz just made two dump runs with a rented UHaul in under 5 hours. First trip was anything metal as they have a recycling center nearby. Best feeling ever Jet Li kicking that fucking water heater out the back of the truck! Had that sitting on the side of the house for a year. Also got rid of metal patio furniture and two burn barrels.

The second trip was to the straight up dump. Got rid of two loft beds my kids are too big for and other miscellaneous crap. As an added bonus, I was able to hit the recycle section on the way out and get rid of a bunch of cardboard and styrofoam.

Next trip, without the UHaul is to get rid of all our unused electronics and wiring.
