A lot of us who were out on Glen Street in front of the Y on Sunday before the election saw Scott Murphy riding his bicycle. He came over and talked with a number of people.
I don’t know where Tim McNulty is originally from but I doubt he’s from West Glens Falls.
I don’t think someone needs to be born here to be from here, but you have to want to be here to be from here.
I just realized simply NOISE put, might not understand this... he isn't feigning ignorance.. maybe he is ignorant.
I don't think someone needs to be born here = this means, in a land of immigrants you can come to the country known as America.. That the United States (at least for now) has laws that allow people to come to America.. for long and short - term
To be from here = Like all the immigrants before, there is a path to citizenship. I am not sure why this is a complex topic for those who support hmpy trmpedo, he is part of a chain migration scam with his wives
But you have to be here to be from here = to become a US citizen you have to go through a process. You have to pass a test and pledge your alligiance to the United States (a test and a pledge that it is openly obvious that simplyNOISEput could not muster)
One of the things about simplyNOISEput and his ilk is the lack of connection to reality
Think about it, they voted for a guy who wants to deport immigrants.. a guy who married immigrants (immigrants who chain migrated her family into the country
And this includes immigrants with legal status, like melania, if they break the law, but lest we forget, there is ample proof melania was here illegally and broke the law (
Now, explaining how simplyNOISEput doesn't know this is a mystery.. but not as big a mystery as his perceived grievances and dishonest posts (should we call him cis-honest, since he was born innocent but transgendered into a liar?)
LMAO, when I was living in Hartford NY and was on the Master Planning committee with old timer Gibson, one meeting he got all bent out of shape because of some of the restrictions we were hoping to implement since the town has no zoning and right to farm laws got him all riled up. He started in on talking about how his family had been there 200 years and told me that I couldn't be from Hartford (I was born and raised in Glens Falls 20 minutes away) until I had lived there for 100 years! I immediately told him, I wouldn't make it that long, I'm only 20 years there and I was already 50ish...LOL. Sorry Mike, this is one of the most provincial parts of the state, even Glens Falls folks won't let you be from there if you weren't actually born there...LOL. You can't make this stuff up. Oh well, as I've said all along, "you can't fix stupid!" and we have an extra heavy dose of it up north. All you had to do is drive around during election season and look at the signs and the election results.
I was in Kanab, AZ... visiting the visitor's center. There was an old guy there (I'm old too, so I know old) it was clear he was a local (spelled loco) with a chip on his shoulder, that likely no one noticed that much in the 10 minutes they were there, but I was there for 15
He told me he didn't like how transplants were moving to the area and changing things. (He left out the part that if people didn't move there (the Desi- hotel owner) -- there would be no Kanab...)
There seems to be this ownership.. from people who often own nothing... about how 'their town' has to follow the unwritten rules they make up.
As a transplant to where I live, I can safely say I am more committed, have volunteered more and contributed more to the future of my adopted how town.. than most 'locos.'
O and the Kanab loco, with the cowboy hat and the bolo tie... he told me to visit the museum around the corner (it was closed), while making it clear I could come and spend my money there, he could collect a salary off of visitors... but I should be careful about having any bright ideas... you know like knowing the museum hours...
I was in Pony, Montana, at the Pony Bar. I asked the bartender if they had the regional Montana micro-brew on tap or in a can. Guy at the bar said “what’s wrong with Coors?” I told him Coors is fine if you want Colorado water, but I wanted some Montana beer. I think he didn’t like the tone of my elitism.
I never in my wildest dreams thought our Democratic Republic would be under siege from within. This is exactly what is happening. We are witnessing the demise of our precious democracy. The words of Benjamin Franklin continue to ring in my head …. “a Republic if you can keep it “ . Our nation has experienced dark times in the past and survived. Will we be able to overcome this horrific episode or are we doomed ? We preached, cajoled and screamed and those who voted for Trump didn’t believe us. My heart is heavy.
...some "didn't believe us" / -and hundreds of thousands or more: voted for him out of spite; i.e. just to thumb their noses @ "the libs" / (Libs = you know, people who care about people, law and order, accountability, the Constitution, this country, equal rights, et cetera / -which is to say, "radicals")...
With all the Ward 2 Queensbury absentee votes finally counted, McNulty cannot deny that his preferred GOP candidate only received 15 more votes than DEM candidate Kimberly Bullard. Will there be a recount of the recount of the recount until a larger margin exceeds that 15 vote gap?
About those "recess appointments" - did anyone else take note of the swinging door during Trump's first administration of all those "acting" members of his cabinet? Along with Mitch McConnell's goal post moves regarding Supreme Court nominations, or even meetings, he let all this slide. All those gigantic, debt limit bulging tax cuts to those who least need them and those federal judiciary slots he packed the court system meant that McConnell fully agreed to Trump's transactional bargains to do his donors' bidding, fatten his own bank account, and screw all of us not in the proper economic tier.
As for Stefanik - there was a Substack publication this week showing Our Elise lounging sideways in her House seat and giving the camera the finger. Classy, no? And the local GOP Chair praising her? Are we in Warren County finally beginning to see just how venial the current version of the Republican Party has become? Finally? Somebody, please say yes. And Ken, send her a bag of coals for Christmas.
Just heard another stat that there was a 92 percent turnover rate among the top positions in his administration. That's pretty darn high in any business.
You bet it is. It is a further act to avoid accountability and gather all power into his own hands, shutting out Congress. I wrote a Substack published yesterday titled "In Other News" about McConnell beating Trump to the punch to find the next Majority Speaker. Rick Scott, a Trump favorite whose Columbia/HCA conglomerate fraudulently billed Medicare and garnered a fine of over $1 billion and then failed upward to the Governorship and the Senate in Florida, one of our favorite retirement states. McConnell succeeded in getting John Thune, still too far right for my tastes but without Scott's baggage. A late shot to defend democracy from McConnell to put up a fight against Trump, who reacted with another tantrum.
Ken, please remember Timothy Snyder's first rule on resisting tyranny: Don't obey in advance.
With the big election over and very few places for money and volunteers to concentrate, and with control of the House possibly at stake, let's not give up the fight for NY21 before it has even begun!
So looney tunes Mike Flynn will have his own Apprentice show, a child sex trafficker will be AG and the South African oligarch met in secret with Iran's (a state sponsor of terrorism) UN delegation in pursuit of US interests. What could go wrong?
Ah yes, bug brain. I also forgot the dog killer and Putin's concubine. Such interesting confirmation hearings lie ahead. I don't think John Thune wants his 20 year legacy and leadership of an equal branch of government steamrolled
I don't see the Senate, which is the last deliberative body of government left, suddenly turning a blind eye to it's Constitutional duties. I hope I'm not wrong.
What we do have is a president-elect who is a serial marital cheater, a convicted felon, and who was found civilly-liable for sexual abuse. He nominated a man who is currently undergoing an investigation initiated by his fellow Republicans for sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, accepting improper gifts, and seeking to obstruct government investigations of his conduct — and who temporarily resigned his House seat in an effort to bury the investigation results.
Gaetz resigned from his House seat in the current Congress. He has been elected to the upcoming Congress to be seated in January for a new session and can take office at that time. At least, that’s what Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said. (Who knows. Plan B if he’s rejected by the Senate?)
If someone is not brought up on charges, especially with this DOJ, I try to believe that the someone did not commit a crime. Not everyone of course has the same beliefs.
"The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the Trump administration has suggested it will sign an executive order creating a board of retired senior military officials to review high-ranking generals and admirals to be removed if they are deemed "unfit for leadership."
It would allow Trump to fire any general who refused to carry out an order they considered "unconstitutional," such as using the military against other Americans or shooting protesters.
Trump wants control of the military."
Hmmm.... Interesting thought. Demented, but interesting.
Why is it that Trump watched over 3 hours of TV coverage of the January 6 insurrection, including threats to the lives of his own Vice President and the Speaker of the House and never used the Insurrection Act of 1807 to stop it?
This is what you say when your Prez says "So what?" when his own pitifully loyal V.P.'s life is in jeopardy because the Prez's gang is looking to hang him?
2 things: 1) you should ask him and 2) not ask me. W, go away. You'd be better off not talking or writing so people only think you're an idiot. You write your drivel and we know you are an idiot.
We're not done by any means. Ken and Will form a core of Trump's resistance. Other's, such as Joyce Vance and Heather Richardson, have similar Democratic minded followers. No feta positions allowed here. Please stay informed, as Ken has suggested, and write.
A faceless troll. No credibility.
Only because he is Republican. You think qualifications do not matter I see.
I did not have a say in any nomination so there is no "my guy." I do oppose any leader who will put our democracy at risk - as he has said he will do.

OMG!!! A Kamala word salad!!!!!
Nope. It's an easily graspable thought.
Well thoughts that are easy for some are difficult for certain truth-challenged individuals.
so you want us to know you hate everything and are clueless
you need your own substack where you air your petty (pervy?) grievances
call it:
"Whining about Nothing"
My tolerance for 🧌s is at zero right now and for the foreseeable future. The little nothingburgers don’t take long to skip by anyway.
That's a really good title.
Simply here for the trolling.

Was it Moose Drool? It is awesome!
I don’t remember. It was a while ago.
I looked up Montana breweries and there are a whole lot more than last time I was out there. Maybe it’s time to visit my sister again.

It’s funny how many of the locals flying Trump flags are from Staten Island or New Jersey. I doubt many people question their here-ness.
Mike. If one believes they are a butterfly, will they then become one?
not unless they become a caterpillar first.
and even if that caterpillar is from South Carolina, as a monarch s/he can fly to Glens Falls
Interesting question. I don’t know about others but I happen to be a butterfly, as a matter of fact.
I was born one. My dad was also a butterfly, but he wasn’t born one like me, he became one.

And what you do know can help you too…so sad and hurt and despairing right now. Looking for leadership from the Top of the party
With all the Ward 2 Queensbury absentee votes finally counted, McNulty cannot deny that his preferred GOP candidate only received 15 more votes than DEM candidate Kimberly Bullard. Will there be a recount of the recount of the recount until a larger margin exceeds that 15 vote gap?
Yes Susan, there will be a recount. Probably know result as after TG.
We need ethical/moral leadership in both parties or the American experiment is over. Who will step up to lead?
I have no words. Can't pay attention to all the noise right now. Thanks for all that you do...
"Noise" is a nice description.

I think the image of Elise you refer to is probably a fake.
Yes, fake
you got it sp noise
all fake, you know like you and pos_tfnKKK
I believe the stat I heard last night was nine of Trump's 15 cabinet heads left before the end of the term.
Just heard another stat that there was a 92 percent turnover rate among the top positions in his administration. That's pretty darn high in any business.
Yes, that became the status quo at the end of Trump's first term. This is an attempt to avoid the confirmation process again.
You bet it is. It is a further act to avoid accountability and gather all power into his own hands, shutting out Congress. I wrote a Substack published yesterday titled "In Other News" about McConnell beating Trump to the punch to find the next Majority Speaker.

I'm not a fan of the use of recess appointments, unless perhaps they could only be used in support of national security.
Looking forward to robust times!!

not a fan, but I want them

Yeah, that one could be very interesting.
interesting...
such insight from simply noise put
Ah yes, bug brain. I also forgot the dog killer and Putin's concubine. Such interesting confirmation hearings lie ahead. I don't think John Thune wants his 20 year legacy and leadership of an equal branch of government steamrolled
If there are confirmation hearings.
I don't see the Senate, which is the last deliberative body of government left, suddenly turning a blind eye to it's Constitutional duties. I hope I'm not wrong.
He is NOT a convicted child sex trafficker, and was not charged.
"The Department of Justice (DOJ) last year told Gaetz that he would not face federal sex-trafficking charges." https://www.newsweek.com/matt-gaetz-ethics-committee-report-release-1985977
What we do have is a president-elect who is a serial marital cheater, a convicted felon, and who was found civilly-liable for sexual abuse. He nominated a man who is currently undergoing an investigation initiated by his fellow Republicans for sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, accepting improper gifts, and seeking to obstruct government investigations of his conduct — and who temporarily resigned his House seat in an effort to bury the investigation results.
Closing one’s eyes won’t make this go away.
..."temporarily"?...

only because mattPEDO gaetz resized earlier this week, or the results would have been released today
but
simply noise put
knows that and shows how disingenuous lying gqpedos are
Not facing charges does not imply innocence of charges, just lack of evidence (probably due to intimidated witnesses).
If someone is not brought up on charges, especially with this DOJ, I try to believe that the someone did not commit a crime. Not everyone of course has the same beliefs.
What you “believe” is suspect.
Why is that my beliefs are suspect?? Could yours be also suspect?? Cannot someone RESPECT the beliefs of others for whom you may disagree??
Which is why the House Ethics Cmte spent an entire year after investigating it. This has legs, and the report will make it's way to the Senate.
I agree that the report should be released.
The author states:
"The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that the Trump administration has suggested it will sign an executive order creating a board of retired senior military officials to review high-ranking generals and admirals to be removed if they are deemed "unfit for leadership."
It would allow Trump to fire any general who refused to carry out an order they considered "unconstitutional," such as using the military against other Americans or shooting protesters.
Trump wants control of the military."
Hmmm.... Interesting thought. Demented, but interesting.
