Hello from Roma, Italia.
Bigger dome than Colorado’s Capitol.
hello…from the westslope…find some good food, then report back in…
Santovino. https://www.tripadvisor.it/Restaurant_Review-g187791-d15581615-Reviews-Santovino-Rome_Lazio.html
Great lunch for €89.
The wine list is huge. 500+ wines.
Buongiorno, dave.
Voters Don't Think Either Party Deserves To Govern
This graph is a really good way to illustrate what matters to voters. And yes, inflation outweighs everything else – by far.
One million Georgians have voted. A pace 2x the 2018 mid-terms.
Hope springs eternal…🤞
Be quiet, David ….. You're being a buzz kill by talking about inflation.
So enlighten us all David with the sure fire, can't miss policy solutions that Republicans are proposing to deal with INFLATION. You can get as specific as you want in describing their formulas for "rescuing" our country from INFLATION. Most of us are pretty good at math.
AP covered the Bennet & O’Dea “sparring” — aka a televised debate.
The lede:
One comment on “answering” questions:
And the concluding paragraph:
You knew it was coming…
Huh? Paul was blowing leaves from his yard to his neighbors (and got a jury award for the broken ribs and suffering). A long-running property line dispute, not seemingly political. Rand being Rand. Just curious as to your point on how you think this tweet has something to do with a political spouse being assaulted by a political whacko?
I question how a nudist hemp jeweler from Berkley is allegedly found in his underwear at the person 3rd in line for presidents home at 2 in the morning without raising a security alarm other than Paul calling 911 knowing his assailants name and referring to him as a “friend”….
“many people are saying…” (and so what if he was a “hemp jewelry maker”? Rand Paul was one of our most vocal supporters of hemp)
Maybe we can agree on the fact that our rate ('Merika, 23%, Western Europe 10%) of mental illness is something we might take more seriously in our public policy debates?
We can certainly agree on that. No doubt the attacker was looney tunes. But reporting indicates David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist, a radical gay male prostitute group and it has been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. There was no alarm, just a wellness call. Weird for security reasons and very, very lax at best, at worst, not a break in.
Ever find out who the young man was with Mr Pelosi at his DUI?
A wellness call?
Yes
I'd venture to guess an "A-priority well being check" is the equivalent of an emergency?
Happy to have you prove my thought wrong
Does splashing around in the muck trying to muddy the story ever get old, Negev?
Why are you ( and your fellow conspiracists) seemingly incapable of simple condemnation of an act of politically-motivated brutality?
Because it doesn't help sell more guns?
So do you have a link that suggests there was a “young man” with Pelosi at the scene of the accident? A quick search gives me articles that talk about the driver of the SUV involved in the accident (a second vehicle, not Pauls). No mention of a passenger with Paul.
Genuinely curious to see the rabbit holes the Pelosi haters venture to for their jollies.
It's linked above
Look down this rabbit hole for a second and just take my assertion as true, just for argument sake.
What is the best damage control you could think of to spin this in your favor, being in the Pelosi position?
I don't know what happened here, and I make no claim to knowing any more than what the interwebs spew out, but the current public narrative appears more complex than a simple lovers quarrel. Is that Occam's razor? Don't know but this whole thing is fishy…
My link to the LA Times above makes no mention of someone with Paul, only the male driver of the second vehicle involved in the accident (police report referenced). Is the LAT involved in a cover-up?
Well, mine does and I included the quote…
We shall see….
This reminds me of the Obama years when I’d have to call out family members over their dissemination of conspiracy bullshit. My favorite relatives response was always, “Well, it may not be true but wouldn’t it be something if it was?!?”
Right?!? Kinda like the Trump years where "the walls are closing in" for like 4 years straight!
I am certain your accepted narrative will win out on this. It has worked so many times before. Just imagine it was Lindsey Graham…
Are you suggesting Blanche was in the car with Paul? I doubt our Southern Belle would be caught dead in that socialist paradise (now the world’s fourth-largest economy) even with the promise of a five-star meal and world-class wine.
Agreed. Just like an ultra MAGA right winger lives in a school bus in Berkley:
Negev is not just an average troll like PP, he is a propagandist. He is obviously spewing garbage in the Steve Bannon sense of "throw shit into the zone" in order to cause chaos and break down the system.
Remember that the Santa Monica Observer is the "newspaper" that broke the story about Hillary Clinton being assassinated and replaced by a body double.
Elon Musk is twittering the same disinformation, so this is an organized propaganda campaign.
If you aren't working to fix the problem, you are the problem. In this case Negev is working very hard to break the system.
How does my assertion break down the system? Who cares who Paul fucks? What causes chaos is when you tie it to something to cause political unrest and division to cover a lovers quarrel. I think with a little thought of your own you would see that you are the one being swayed by propaganda. How are you buying this shit? You are being duped, again. Don't miss your booster appointment by staying too long at the Monsanto protest, mmK?
Negev's Berkley pic comes from the Murdoch-owned New York Post with barely a mention of the assailants deeply-held, MAGA-born conspiracy theories.
We all see what you’re doing here….
The plot thickens, Negev. Can you imagine the number of people it’s taking to pull off this cover-up?!?
It does! Define "elder abuse" for me if you could….
Who was the third person who let the police in?
Where is the camera footage?
His ex wife seems to think the right wing lunatic thing is wrong as well…
You’re a hoot when you’re in your Steve Bannon mode!
You're quoting/linking to Defiant America now.
Law of holes, friend. Law of holes.
You always look over the good stuff… any comment on the Politico 3rd person? Politico has high factual reporting, by your standards…Funny how you miss that….
The good stuff? I'm really more in the camp of "why don't we let this investigation play out and not be arm-chair quarterbacked by Q"
But you do you. We're a free country.
Oh, I dunno. Doesn’t EmptyG slither out of a cave every morning? #WhiteProsperityJesus works in mysterious ways.
Not in Berkley…
As if there aren’t MAGA critters in Berkley?
It’s also been rumored for years that Trump is an astute businessman. Do you have a point?
"a nudist hemp jeweler from Berkley"
I see you watch Jesse Watters, too.
The Independent reports:
Dispatch audio has revealed how Nancy Pelosi’s husband managed to alert authorities that he was under attack from a hammer-wielding assailant by speaking in code in a secret 911 call.
Following up:
<shocked face>
Negev, why didn't you make the really obvious point: we don't need gun control until after we get hammers under control.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people. Guns simply make it a lot earlier and more efficient for people to kill people.
I think Mr Pelosi would beg for the efficiency you tout, POS.
Well, if they practice hitting themselves in the heads with hammers daily, it would explain their policies – or lack thereof.
” It feels so good when you stop,” growled Mitch McConnell.

And is there an easy way to import tables?
Here are the graphs, JID. Not sure how to import tables here.
Sixty-nine percent of the ballots are from Democrats and Unaffiliated.
Yeah, I get the Sec of State's releases and can see the graph. But when they include the 2020 results, it throws the results into a very narrow perspective, making it virtually impossible to see the 2018 to 2022 comparison. Without 2020, the bar chart and the daily graph of votes could expand essentially 3x.
Speaking of conspiracies. I have it on good authority (a website about “Q” something) that the Houston Astros have upgraded their sign stealing game. Instead of banging on trash cans they have inserted buzzers up their butts, a la the chess player, to get pitch information. One buzz, fastball. Two buzzes, curveball. Maybe more buzzes for high, low, inside, outside. A regular Morse code! Check it out and check their butts!
Ronna “he’s not my uncle”
McDanielRomney doing what Republicans do best…Don't be surprised if Mitt is heard to say, "she's not my niece." after this crack.
Happy Halloween! Just heard on KRCL (SLC radio station) Smile Jamaica program:
I was working in the lab late one night
When I heard the gurgle of a waterpipe
So I turned to see my monster in a cloud of smoke
Who said “This shit ain’t bad, here, have a toke”
(We smoked some hash) – We smoked some monster hash
(Some monster hash) – It was his personal stash
(We smoked some hash) – We got completely trashed
(On monster hash) – We smoked some monster hash.
The mummy was toking on a bong
Wolfman said “Don’t bogart that, pass it along”
The swamp thing was toasted, rolling on the floor
Laughing hysterically and pleading for more
The scene was rocking as the werewolves moved
To the undead reggae band’s dance hall grooves
Meanwhile in the kitchen Frankenstein baked
Some Alice B. Toklas brownies and cakes
(We ate some hash) – We ate some monster hash
(Some monster hash) – It had the graveyard smashed
(We ate some hash) – And we all got trashed
(On monster hash) – We ate some monster hash
The mummy was toking on a bong
Wolfman said “Don’t bogart that, pass it along”
The swamp thing was toasted, rolling on the floor
Laughing hysterically and pleading for more
The scene was rocking as the werewolves moved
To the undead reggae band’s dance hall grooves
Meanwhile in the kitchen Frankenstein baked
Some Alice B. Toklas brownies and cakes
(We ate some hash) – We ate some monster hash
(Some monster hash) – It had the graveyard smashed
(We ate some hash) – And we all got trashed
(On monster hash) – We ate some monster hash
The party would have gone on ’til we all passed out
But just then we heard a bloodcurdling shout
“Watch out, beware, cover your necks
Dracula’s got the munchies, and he’s totally wrecked”
(He smoked some hash) – He smoked some monster hash
(Some monster hash) – He was completely smashed
(He smoked some hash) – That transylvanian’s trashed
(On monster hash) – He smoked some monster hash
The party would have gone on ’til we all passed out
But just then we heard a bloodcurdling shout
“Watch out, beware, cover your necks
Dracula’s got the munchies, and he’s totally wrecked”
(He smoked some hash) – He smoked some monster hash
(Some monster hash) – He was completely smashed
(He smoked some hash) – That transylvanian’s trashed
(On monster hash) – He smoked some monster hash

Okay, time to put down the cigar and Scotch…
The late "Bobby 'Boris' Pickett" hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October, 1962, with "The Monster Mash."
"Mash" hit the charts two more times, in 1970, and reached #10 in 1973 on the Hot 100 (source: Wikipedia).
Wow, state House minority leader Hugh McKean passed away overnight. I don't know details nor should I. RIP!
Yes, saw that. A sudden shock for his family and friends, I'm sure.
Very sad news for his family & friends. Regards to all and everyone give your family an extra hug today.
Sudden death is difficult on those left behind.
He will be missed by many.
Economic news for the campaign season: Went out to fill up the tank with regular gasoline today … $3.049/gallon. According to the Energy Information Administration, that's better than last week's national average of $3.769. Better than last week's Colorado average of $3.492. A pleasant surprise on the day my family called "Beggar's Night" while extending Halloween marauding to two nights.
Finishing up some canvassing in my precinct this afternoon, enjoying the weather. It is a great deal better than some other years, when bundling up or finding a dry spot to pull flyers out of plastic bags as the rain fell.
