“Most career politicians are fine and will do a competent job given the chance” only concerned with keeping their position.

This may be ego, greed, self preservation, or most likely a combination. On the Dem side I’ll pick Pelosi and Schumer as examples. Each thinks they are the best for the position, each has become rich, each continues to make deals to keep their position.

Boss move.

You know what I’m sayin’

Oh damn. License plates are not NY.

Living in NYC I learned to avoid vehicles with diplomatic plates.

This looks like it may be in Manhattan. The Russians have a large place in the North Bronx but this is not it

From time to time the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Other comments suggest he lives in Oakland and works in Alameda. This pic was taken later in the afternoon.

Black cats are the last ones to be adopted from shelters. If you want a cat, check out the black ones at your local shelter.

Thank you. I have only cropped and rotated the picture.

SF says the people they are doing this to have not accepted the city’s very limited options for housing.

There was recent article (help me find it) detailing there are over over 200 SF non-profits focused on housing funded by less than 10 govt agencies.

I live in Oakland and moderate (mostly post) to the Oakland community.

I don’t recall all the details right now but… I think they tell all the people leave and then throw everything left in the trash.

EDIT - Here is a story our local NPR station - https://www.kqed.org/news/12006541/sfs-homeless-sweeps-have-cleared-over-1200-tents-where-are-people-going

Currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area and see this happening in several cities. San Francisco is the largest example. They have made building new housing a nightmare of red tape yet they are going full steam ahead with clearing out the homeless people.

It’s not the Christianity people like, it is the racism. Christianity is just a cover up

While in college we considered any evening snow to mean the next day would have classes canceled. Usually wrong but we had fun.

My friend can follow 2-3 separate conversations while talking to me. Meanwhile I have a hard time following our conversation.

Who is keeping new cars at the library?

I had a similar positive experience in Spain and Morocco. Tangier is very close to Spain so most of the locals know Spanish.

I would always start conversations in Spanish. Most of the time the person I was talking to would appreciate my attempt and switch to English. In Tangier I talked to a street peddler for over 15 minutes while friends were in a store. I attempted to speak in Spanish but he preferred English. He just wanted to chat.

I’m tall enough to open the door so we both pee outside.

Can we all give a huge shout out to Always Sunny in Philadelphia for being great and being the one inspiration for so many memes?

Today is my day off. It is noon and I’m at number 2.
