this is a sincere question…isn’t it bad for cows not to milk them? doesn’t it hurt them to not be milked?

You do know the art is protected from just such an event. Or do you not understand or believe the link between the animal agriculture and global warming? This is the perfect set up for Scott, we will all be asked if we are driving our electric vehicles on the way to buy our all veggie diet requirements.

I didn't know the paintings were protected, until the environmental terrorists started doing this. The fact that the art is protected, makes their actions MORE stupid, if that's even possible.

you're right, I don't understand the link between animal agriculture and global warming, I know what your side is claiming, but I don't know what's fact.

Sorry if I'm not planning to become a vegan on the say-so of those who think the solution is to throw tomato soup on a Van Gough.

You didn’t start a single post about Jan6th ?

This is the 2nd soup incident this month aka peaceful protest

And apparently it got your goat.. to funny

FYI I searched Gen Flynn Re Awakening tour on Fox

Last story was 2 months ago

And it was reporting victim hood

New York pastor and ReAwaken tour host say they were harassed by prosecutors

Guess that’s why you never heard of them

So you admit the painting was protected but you still believe that by throwing mashed pot. at the art they're attempting to destroy the art?

that suggests they believed they were destroying the art.

That is a very deep and key question, and gets to the heart of where the left is right now. None of them will ever just say "my god they're idiots". Because as Jordan Peterson says, they don't merely "believe" in liberalism. They are enslaved by it. The Narrative can never be wrong.

He calls it "the pathology of ideological possession", and he's right. They are literally possessed by liberalism.

jim thinks they are terrorist.. LOL but protesting in a state house armed is Freedom :kewl:

It's not something that's going to change what oil companies or Governments do or don't do .. and I doubt they think that was the objective .

But their stunt did what it was intended to do It drew some attention to an issue they clearly care about .. and call it dumb or smart it matters little to me
it's not like we haven't seen this style of protest before Across the planet

that suggests they believed they were destroying the art. actually you are totally wrong as they said they knew they weren't destroying the art.

“I want to make one thing perfectly clear, we did no damage to the painting whatsoever,” Phoebe Plummer, a climate activist who, along with Anna Holland, threw the soup at the famous painting and then glued their hands to the gallery floor on October 14.

if they were rational, they’d be republicans. That is funny as the Rep. deny science and do nothing. Seems like they are smarter than most of the R party.

How do you know what they knew, when they threw soup on the painting.

"“We’re not asking the question, should everyone be throwing soup at paintings?” said Plummer."

No, the question we're asking is, "did the bedroom you grew up in, have lead paint on your walls"?

"What we’re doing is getting the conversation going"

What power you must have, to know all there is about a protester you've never met and if you answered honestly (doubtful), you know absolutely nothing about. There have been and always will be, hard working, very successful young and old participating in non-violent civil protests. You are a mirror of the rhetoric that comes out of the far right, judgement by action, skin color, age, race yada yada yada.

Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis

its an actual foundation .. by the way not a fraguldent one that was Court-Ordered $2 Million For Illegally Using Foundation Funds for you know who


She co-founded the non-profit Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) in 2019 and has reportedly donated $1m of her personal wealth to be used to support environmental activist groups, including Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion.

So with your logic she participated in the defacing of these art works


another little bit of information

Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Brad Homewood told the Guardian that they did it knowing it would not damage the artwork. "Our intention was always to glue on to the perspex protecting it," he said.

Just because she’s an heir to an oil industry fortune doesn't mean you necessarily approve of the family business.

If that’s your reason. It doesn’t make a lot of sense ?
Seems she does a lot with her money .. besides a million dollars to one foundation


Getty is HIV positive since 1985 and works for AIDS awareness causes, along with former mother-in-law Elizabeth Taylor. In November 2016, she joined the board of amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.

2013, Getty founded Aileen Getty Foundation, of which she is currently the President. Earlier in 2005, she also founded Gettlove, a nonprofit organization created to acknowledge, house, and sustain housing for numerous homeless individuals who are part of the Los Angeles community.

My god man, if you take (and keep) billions from oil, then donate it to environmental nuts to protest oil, then that's the definition of having no principles.

If she doesn't approve of the family business, and she actually holds that s a principle, she should turn down the money. If she takes the money, she should shut up.

classic wayne missed the point. or lied

Never even hinted it’s her fault what family she was born into.

but either oil is ok, of its evil. it cannot be both. If it’s ok, it’s fine for her to enjoy her money. if oil is diabolical, she shouldn’t want the proceeds of that diabolical industry.

can’t have it both ways. Lefties always want it both ways.

In 1988, President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act to compensate more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated in internment camps during World War II. The legislation offered a formal apology and paid out $20,000 in compensation to each surviving victim.

Iam sure a petty person like yourself and Scott would have cried about Reagan issuing an official apology and reparations but called it compensation from the United States Or if RI got rid of VJ Day

would you be outraged if America issued an apology for slavery

Seems you’ve bought into the right wing fantasy that your personally being blamed .. by people who have no idea who you are ..

Some of the most cited reasoning for white Americans’ opposition to reparations includes the fact that no one directly involved in the practice is still living,

polling data collected by Hunt and Reichelmann shows that about 45% of those polled are opposed to the idea of apologizing to Black Americans
even a simple apology is rejected I am shocked

Some of the most cited reasoning for white Americans’ opposition to reparations includes the fact that no one directly involved in the practice is still living,

polling data collected by Hunt and Reichelmann shows that about 45% of those polled are opposed to the idea of apologizing to Black Americans
even a simple apology is rejected I am shocked

Reagan gave the money to the same people
who suffered. If you can find anyone today who was a slave, they’ve got a good claim for reparations.

400,000 northern soldiers died to end slavery, that’s a hefty price paid . . shouldnt reparations be laid by the folks who advocated for slavery? namely, democrats?

if it weren’t for liberalism, blacks wouldn’t need reparations, they’d be doing fine.

In 1988, President Reagan signed the Civil Liberties Act to compensate more than 100,000 people of Japanese descent who were incarcerated in internment camps during World War II. The legislation offered a formal apology and paid out $20,000 in compensation to each surviving victim.

Iam sure a petty person like yourself and Scott would have cried about Reagan issuing an official apology and reparations but called it compensation from the United States Or if RI got rid of VJ Day

Two people literally burnt themselves alive in front of government buildings as an emblematic casualty of climate crisis, and it generated nothing compared against the simulated destruction of a thing of the past. Something incredibly to the point here that everyone should dwell with.
The out for the men who burned themselves is "they were crazy." The out for the painting protests is that "they look silly." The point is to not confront the depth of change required.
Because “#^&#^&#^&#^& the grandchildren, probably nothing will happen and we can’t afford it anyways.”

Next you'll be saying , the Republican nominee for governor of Michigan, claimed that Democrats want to “topple” the United States for losing the Civil War.

and She claimed people did not learn about major moments in Black history like the 1921 Tulsa race massacre because “Democrats don’t want you to know.”

who's running for Governor in Michigan Tudor Dixon

Republicans tried to claim their political ancestors at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night, casting back to Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, to argue they deserve more credit from Black voters.

The problem is that the Republicans and the politics of 1860 bear almost zero resemblance to the Republicans of today.

Red states Covid deaths increased as they “opened” up and the rights claim that “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.“ is akin to claiming that if we legalize criminal activities we'll become a crime-free society?

"race"

Where I live, I've had a front-row seat to see what 40 years of unchecked liberalism have done for blacks in New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford. It ain't pretty. The left's view is to control black numbers through abortion, and keep those who survive stuck in horrific modern day plantations we call cities. I think these people deserve a lot better. Democrats call for more of the same.

Yes, I'm all set with my views on race.

"immigration"

I want reasonable numbers of legal immigration, and a secure border. I'm sure that's a radical concept to you, but it's what most Americans believe.

So yes I'm all set there.

"COVID fanaticism"

Not sure what you mean, I'm reacting to empirical results, which are very clear that the lockdowns especially in schools, were a huge, catastrophic over reaction. Liberals are not to quick to be persuaded by measurable results, they're quite skilled at ignoring any and all facts which don't support their religion.

You got caught making up quotes from MTG, and I'm the fanatic. Makes sense...

"

Agreed. Which is why I've said 100 times they get a big fat F on that issue. But apparently they did something, because crossings are way higher now. Why are crossings so much higher now?

"Red states Covid deaths increased as they “opened” up "

Not as high as NY's rates. More freedom and lower death rates, is what you call "winning" in any kind of honest assessment.

"“The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.“ is akin to claiming that if we legalize criminal activities we'll become a crime-free society?"

Idiotic.

Not a good post from you, I guess the looming midterms are weighing heavily on you. Your earlier prediction that the left was poised to win the midterms because of abortion, is looking pretty stupid right now.

Sorry victim you’re wrong
I grew up in the fastest growing place in the USA, a town that went from a single K-12 school where I went to kindergarten to 8 elementary, two middle and two high schools in 12 years.
There was less than a handful of kids that weren’t white in my class and today that town is still far whiter than most of the surrounding towns.
Redlining, realtors and banks played racist games and still do.
You just keep thinking systemic racism doesn’t exist.

Red states COVID curves were exactly the opposite of places that reacted to Covid with public health measures.
In blue states people died because they didn’t yet know, red states they died because of ignorance and greed.
Floriduh and NY are prime examples, NY had early high rates, Floriduh had most of their deaths in the latter stages of Covid, when DeathSantis claimed it was nothing and vaccines didn’t work.
Don’t worry Jim, Roevember is coming.
You claimed your hero was invincible also….

“So here’s, I think, the most important thing with the data: if you are vaccinated—fully vaccinated—the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero,” DeSantis said. “If you look at the people who are being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all. These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality.”

Well, (Doctor?) DeathSantis reversed course, allows state healthcare providers to order COVID vaccines for kids.
He also

FORT LAUDERDALE — In his first news conference since the omicron variant surged across Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis badmouthed vaccines while pushing for unproven treatments against the mutated pathogen.

“With omicron, you know, the vaccinations are not preventing infection,” DeSantis said Monday at Broward Health Medical Center.

But since the beginning of nationwide vaccine rollouts, doctors and scientists have emphasized that although the virus can infect inoculated people, they offer the best protection against severe illness and death, even for those who catch the heavily mutated omicron variant. Those with booster shots are the most protected, authorities say.

Statistics from Miami-Dade County hospitals confirmed Monday that the overwhelming majority of COVID-19 patients are unvaccinated — 79% of them, the county reported.

Infections have exploded statewide. Florida reported 536,748 new infections in the two weeks ended Sunday, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s more than during the first two weeks of August, when the delta variant surged across the state.

i don’t think showing an id is an unreasonable burden. And when jen side claims it is, it makes me think they want to do away with ids to make it easier to cheat. Requiring an id is the single
most obvious requirement that any sane person would suggest. and that includes having to show an id to get a mail in ballot. Mass mail in voting makes it ridiculously easy to cheat and should be avoided. In person voting if possible, and show a photo id. if you object to that, you’re the one who’s trying to get away with something, and if you say it’s racist, you’re stupid and also obviously trying to get away with something.

Several Metro Atlanta counties have been inundated with mass challenges to the eligibility of tens of thousands of registered voters, filed with the help of groups pushing baseless conspiracy theories about voter fraud.

While Georgia’s new election law SB-202 made it clear that individuals could challenge an “unlimited” number of voters in their county,

We did see over 300,000 voter challenges filed en masse in the state in December 2020,” says Vasu Abhiraman, senior policy counsel at the ACLU of Georgia.

I would love to see the racial and party beak down of these challenges

How does a photo id get filled with lies, exactly?

"but i do t trust mass mail in voting.

No, not because it's what someone told me. Because common sense suggests it's not hard to give someone mail in ballots and have them fill them out for the candidate you want.

You're denying that cheating is easier with mass mail in balloting, than it is with in-person voting where you have to show an id?

That's just stupid, and why you're not taken seriously.

Who ever claimed it was 100% that’s an impossible system

It’s your child’s responsibility to change their address. And if did fill them out only 1 vote would have been counted

It’s all a republicans hoax

The example below proves it

There is no reason to stand near drop boxes in Arizona and monitor who is casting ballots. After all, there is no evidence at all that drop boxes are a vehicle for casting fraudulent votes. The Associated Press contacted election administrators across the country and found no significant examples of fraud being committed using drop boxes.

Yet there has been a movement to do precisely that.
Much of the concern about drop boxes, of course, derives from the film “2000 Mules,


If something is broken fix it but. When those who claim it’s broken elected and non elected people are just lying and have zero empirical proof .. it is clearly their fault why people have lost Trust in elections

And it’s only the Republicans making those claims

Bingo...

I'm willing to bet that if Pete was in your shoes, he might not have thrown them in the garbage...after writing in Hugo Chavez as his preferred candidate.

their are tons of people on both sides who will do anything to stay in power. So if there are obviously simple ways to make it harder to cheat, why oppose them?

To me, opposing voter id is like opposing drug tests. I'm pretty sure i know what you're trying to hide, it's not hard to figure it out...

Saying voter id is racist, takes the dishonesty to a whole new level.

If you put some problem-solvers in a room who cared nothing about politics, and asked them how to ensure honest elections, the first thing every one of them would say, is "in-person voting with voter id". What else comes close to guaranteeing honest results? Nothing else even comes close.

Much of the concern about drop boxes, of course, derives from the film “2000 Mules,


If something is broken fix it but. When those who claim it’s broken elected and non elected people are just lying and have zero empirical proof .. it is clearly their fault why people have lost Trust in elections

And it’s only the Republicans making those claims

And democrats concerned about the elections issue are the lies . Not this mythical fraud that statistically barely exist

TDF just proved it's not a hoax.

"And it’s only the Republicans making those claims"

Is TDF a Republican?

Neither of my kids live at home. Last election we received mail in ballots for them in the mail, twice. What was to stop me from filling them out and mailing them back? They both voted in person in their respective locations too. Knowing people, the honor system isn’t 100% effective

Signature verification is one.

They did change their addresses, as referenced by the fact they could go and vote at their current locations by having their names bounced against the voter rolls there. Yet I could have just filled out their ballots at my house and just mailed them in. Do you see how this could give someone pause to go “hmmm, this might be of concern”

Other than you saying it wouldn’t happen, what proof do you have that it couldn’t happen?

Wouldn’t ID and in person voting be a possible solution to preventing it from happening?

I also didn’t say the voting system wasn’t a 100%, I said humans working on an honor system isn’t 100%, I was being facetious

I don’t ever sign anything when I vote in person, they don’t even check ID.

And do you really think they verify every signature on every ballot that comes in? Do you really think the government is that efficient?

Un-Enrolled.

As Groucho Marx said “I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member”

Before I was that, I used to be a registered Democrat.

And I didn’t “Prove” anything. I just said that there are concerns out there that don’t give people the warm and fuzzies on election integrity.

And that's very very reliable, because we're all trained to spot signature fakes.

Sorry to disagree, but you did prove that concerns about integrity are not a republican hoax. You didn't prove there was cheating and I didn't mean to imply that you did. You did prove that there are vulnerabilities.

You provided a case of exactly why we need safeguards, and you're not a republican.

So he was 100% wrong on that.

"Wouldn’t ID and in person voting be a possible solution to preventing it from happening?"

Yes.

And the best argument the left can make against id laws, is that they're racist.

69% of blacks support voter id. So I can't help but notice that blacks don't buy into the liberal argument that id laws are racist. Interesting...

Changing Your Address
You must update your voter registration every time you move. If you have moved, you may update your registration by filling out a new voter registration form. If you move after the deadline to register to vote in a state election or primary, you should wait to update your registration until after the date of the election or primary, and return to vote at your previous polling place in Massachusetts. State law allows you to vote from a previous address in a state election for up to six month after you have moved, as long as you have not registered elsewhere

Now if you’re Taking 3 years after they moved to a different town you’re getting their mail in ballots that’s an issue

Do you see how this could give someone pause to go “hmmm, this might be of concern”

Nope. Unless of course you think that’s what’s happened and is happening

And it’s a crime and again statistically if it were to happen

like the woman who sent in her dead husbands ballot . which I am sure happens all the time

Is not the rampant Fraud Republicans claims exist

Nope .. why because it been getting done for years

Eight states—California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington—allow all elections to be conducted by mail.

Two states—Nebraska and North Dakota—permit counties to opt into conducting elections by mail.

Republicans only see fairness when they win but only fraud when they lose. Because they have no standards

Tim Michels: "Republicans will never lose another election in Wisconsin after I'm elected governor."

He’s saying the quiet part out loud.
