Sounds like a vote for cave.

After the January 8 Oval Office address, little doubt remains of how this shutdown will end. Sooner or later—probably sooner—it will end the way Trump’s threats of nuclear war upon North Korea ended: with a sudden Trump about-face. It is now only a matter of time. The polls will arrive over the next hours. Democrats and Republicans will both see that Trump did not move public opinion in his favor. They might see that Trump could not even motivate very many Americans to watch him. The panic slowly building among congressional Republicans will boil. Trump, trapped without a decent exit in a predicament of his own making, will yield everything and get nothing.

Should be of interest to those who get hung up on seeing evidence of ELECTION COLUSION.

Good point. Declaring an emergency is definitely a cave.

that's the dumbest idea i've ever heard

Pretty good reason to think Trump would want to try it.

Feels like a gimmie. I just now updated my personal tally of our conference record to 1-2.

San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is incredible.

I only saw a tiny part of it.  :frown:

If I go back I'll see more. But what else would I do there given that I've already seen the main attractions?

First, I didn't know there was a Zuckerberg hospital.
Second, WTF:

In fact, in spite of all the talk about the need for wall/border security, I really can't remember hearing much of anything about why. Just a bunch of hysterics from pridefully ignorant white people.

I agree with this sentiment. The contentious aspect of this is much more about ideology than actual policy.

I love that Chum is obsessed over her honestly

I love it all. The most important issue here is NO U. Incredible.

Libraries

public libraries are amazing.  sadly, i don't think modern america would create them if they did not already exist.

Why would they?  If you have access to the internet you can learn anything, literally anything.  Probably 90% of public libraries are visited only by old people who don’t know how to navigate the internet.  The next 8% are poor people who didn’t have access to enough education.  The other 2% are kids or grandkids of old people and poor people.

I'm constantly in posession of copyrighted materials from online libraries. I wouldn't have access to all of this material if not for the library. And certainly not legally. I know that there are many like me because I can see the number of copies available.
