I am sure this is going to stir the pot up, but f*** it. These are the Coiv School numbers in OC

Roughly
60% students, 20% other staff, and 20% teachers. I am guessing it would be hitting the lunch staff harder than the custodians

 

[Dooney]

She doesn't come here to post about hockey. That's for sure.

Just trying to bait me with shit about my father's death and has been since the anniversary in August.

This thread isn’t about hockey. You live with your mother. I know that for certain. Just returning the favor over here anyway.

No. I bought the house years ago.

But again, you don't come to this site to talk hockey. You come here to harass me.

 

[tny760]

i can assure you both, i absolutely don't care about your personal lives and being petty with each other on a hockey forum isn't going to solve any of your problems

 

[Lt Dan]

You say that like it's a bad thing. I wish I lived with my mom.
Filming step mom porn would be easy peasy.
If my Dad ever came back from getting that pack of cigarettes when I was 10, I would be there.
Whenever I had a bad day, there would be hugs and hot cocoa
It would be much easier to get rid of barflys the next morning with Mom judging them
Nestle Toll house cookies whenever I want them
and if anyone bullies me, Mom has an Ar-15





The only down side would be I would get confused when friends come over. Are they coming to see me or to have relations with my mom?

maybe they're just concerned since she keeps getting stuck in the washing machine somehow

I am sure that it is my future, my current problem is that most of my friends are plumbers

How old is your step mom? I might be interested.

Do you have any naked pictures of her? Want some?

I like bud lite!

It has to be a hot day, and the beer gotta be real cold.

but end of the day, I like Bud Lite.

Remember when 250,000 dying was an insane prediction

More drama than anything on TV.

Life and death shit.

Back to our illustrious Governor's dinner party, I love the fact that one of the people at the party was a lobbyist for the California Medical Association. If dining indoors was as detrimental as Gov. Newsome says it is, that lobbyist should have met the moment and spoke truth to power. But who am I kidding, we are but just plebs, the Party knows what is best for us.

He is in the news again for reportedly trying to name Kamala's replacement as Senator vs holding an election. I am curious how that is going to play out, a state of emergency can only be used for so many things

The California state constitution allows Governor Newsom to appoint someone to take Harris' seat in the Senate. In the next general election (2022) that Senate seat must be voted on by the people. Whoever wins serves the remainder of the Harris 6-year term. Since Harris was elected in 2016, whoever wins the 2022 senate election will serve a full 6-year term.

Yeah, I still think he has the constitutional authority to fill the seat until the next general election. The Senator will be elected by the people in the 2022 election.

I think Newsom should appoint Arnold Schwarzenegger. After all, he is in reality a Democrat. Unfortunately, for people like Arnold and Garcetti, they don't meet the identity requirements.

is 2 years considered "temporary"?

i suppose in strict terms, yes

seems like playing with fire if i'm newsom though, i'd almost rather set up a special election if that's an option

interesting topic regardless

 

[Schrute farms]

Nothing to see on the appointment -- this happens on both sides in this situation and is common nature. Believe me, nobody wants to pile on politicians more than me. But in this one specific issue -- there's nothing to see here (except for those who dislike him to pile extra on...which is cool by me to be honest).

 

[Lt Dan]

Big death day and only 2 were SNF/ALF
I think this is by far the highest test count day, 2.7% positivity

Another jump in Hospitalization, Hosp was 291 yesterday,
ICU is down however from 90


Rolling 7 day
Thu:7
Wed: 2
Tues:0

last Thu was a 6 so only a slight increase. The new average is 2.14

Isn’t this how insider trading wizard Loeffler got her seat in Georgia? She was appointed when someone retired. Seems there’s plenty to be mad at Newsome about without manufacturing reasons.

McSally in AZ, too. And will likely happen to replace almost any representatives selected for Biden's cabinet. This particular incident is much ado about nothing. Most states have this in their laws.

Now if we want to complain about Newsome being just the latest in the longest string of politicians to suck at leadership by example, I'm all ears

I know you don't particularly like this and if anything it's a pretty broken concept lately, but imo most states do a pretty good job of pulling back towards the center when they start to lean extreme. IMO Arnold is symbolic of how that works in CA. Your 'Republican' governor isn't likely to be Tea Party right. Laura Kelly in Kansas might be an example of the opposite, at least until Covid.

Of course, neither party will willingly cede a representative seat if they can help it.

Gonna be interesting to see how this all shakes out in the next year as people are extremely passionate in response to current events in ways we've never seen before. More civic involvement--particularly in local/state levels--is phenomenal. And it's been a while since I was a teacher but man those high school kids were REALLY into making a difference via voting so here's hoping the general ambivalence towards politics becomes more positive rather than simply angry/reactionary.
