quid pro quo joe still hasn't been impeached. why is that?
Not sure if you've looked recently, but the democrats presently hold a majority in both the House Judiciary Committee as well as the House of Representatives as a whole.
Given that clan loyalty is the Most Important Thing*, why would a Congress full of democrats vote to impeach a democrat?
* = Tulsi Gabbard... She's about as much of a 21st century Democrat as Trump is a classical Republican. Is DINO a term yet? Ought to be. I wish her well, and time will reveal whether or not she's just committed political suicide.
I was informed today that supervisors in Alameda County—just across the bay from San Francisco but with issues all its own—voted on Tuesday to ban the practice of wild cow milking in unincorporated parts of the county.
I learned at exactly the same time that there is a practice of “wild cow milking.”
According to the report, “[w]ild cow milking is just as the name suggests: A two-man team tries to get milk from a cow turned loose in an arena, as defined by the West of the Pecos Rodeo in Pecos, Texas.” What does West of the Pecos Rodeo say about it, exactly? This:
Wild Cow Milking is a timed competition that begins when a cow is turned loose into the arena. Out of a two-man team, one ropes the cow while the other tries to mug it. Then the roper jumps off his horse and tries to milk the cow until they get a small amount in a bottle.
The clock usually stops after the cow is milked and a team member runs with the bottle to a designated area. For the time to count, there must be enough milk in the bottle to produce at least one drop when it’s turned upside down.
I understand all those words and concepts except for “mugging,” which appears to be the act of grabbing and holding the animal’s head. The roper does the roping while the mugger does the mugging, after which the roper becomes the milker and usually also the runner, who runs the bottle to the designated area when and if milk has been extracted. The team that extracts at least one drop in the shortest time wins.
According to Wikipedia, wild cow milking dates back to at least the early 20th century, at least in the United States, which I would not be surprised to learn is the only nation in which this is done. The photo above, which I found at Wyoming Tales and Trails, shows an example said to have taken place in that state in 1924. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association does not include wild cow milking as an officially sanctioned event, but it seems to be relatively common all the same.
So what’s the problem? Well, the wildness, I guess. Or, maybe rodeos in general?
So, rodeo cowboys are like Nathan Bedford Forrest? That analogy might be a little overheated, especially if the issue is cow milking. Alameda County has previously banned “mutton busting,” an event where children ride on the backs of sheep (or try to). Veterinarians reportedly say that this can injure sheep because their backs aren’t strong enough for even tiny people to ride on them, so okay. But it’s not like wild cow milking is as bad as, you know, child abuse or rape or something like that.
“It’s as bad as child abuse or rape,” Mills said in 2019. “It just is.”
Okay, calm down, amigo.
In any event, the effect of the Board of Supervisors’ vote Tuesday was to amend the county ordinances to read as follows:
5.08.170 – Bovine animals.
B. No person shall intentionally milk or attempt to milk a lactating bovine animal (including but not limited to, any calf, ox, heifer or cow) by any means whatsoever for the purpose of entertainment or sport, including during a rodeo or practice for a rodeo.
As you can see, unintentional bovine milking is not a violation, and the same would be true of even an intentional attempt to milk a non-lactating bovine animal. But if you tried that, you’d probably have more to worry about than violating this ordinance. I’m not an expert, but that is my belief.
This leaves what obviously is the most important question about this activity still to be answered: is it “wild cow milking” or “wild-cow milking”? It’s not hyphenated in any of these reports, and I think that’s probably right. While Wikipedia says it involves “semi-feral” cows that aren’t used to being milked, the article it cites doesn’t support that. According to that article, these people aren’t trying to milk wild cows, they’re engaged in a cow-milking event that gets wild:
[T]here is a reason “wild” is included in the event name.
“Whenever she is separated from her calf, the cow really doesn’t want to be in that arena,” [rodeo director Chris] Reed said. “She can get a little mad, which is why they call it wild cow milking. She might run over the cowboys and kind of make crumpled meat out of them.”
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I keep waiting for those in the FBI that did this to be perp-walked to the same jail as the J6 protesters. I keep waiting for John Durham to pull something out of his hat. Or moustache. Or ***. Seems like I'll be waiting forever.

Tulsi realized where she stood with the Democratic power structure when she ran for President. She's just a couple of steps below Bernie, and they shut him down (legally and illegally) with impunity. She's got big brass ones to run for president at 31 y/o, and no real infrastructure backing you up.

More than likely, if you choose to wait for this, then you will be waiting until you either die or stop waiting.

She's been pretty outspoken against most extreme-left democrats for years now. She's no longer in office and he big announcement just happened to coincide with the launch of her first podcast episode.
she's still a WEF member, gun grabbing, UBI, UHC, crater-faced lib.

her job is to siphon votes from republicans; the end.
this is a pretty good summary:
Here's what's happening with Tulsi.
The Dems understand that they are in jeopardy of hemorrhaging ground in the culture war. They have been calling for the death of the right for years, and now find themselves in a position where, economically, things might get bad enough that the right actually starts to get violent. This is their biggest fear and why they spend so much time trying to convince the right to sit back and wait for the government to fix itself.
In order to prevent the social shift back right, they send out a career Marxist and label her the 'centrist'. They parade her around every right leaning platform like a prized pig and have her spout off some right leaning talking points that polled well in their focus groups. Her tweet that everyone is jerking off two was basically that entire focus groups buzz words all wrapped up into one tweet. The media then promotes it so everyone knows 'Tulsi walks away from dems'.
Tulsi, a far left piece of trash, is now solidly known as the 'moderate candidate' anchoring the Overton window in a far left socialist area. Now, any time a normie thinks of a 'middle of the road' issue, its a radical far left position but portrayed as the majority 'sensible' opinion. She didn't leave the democratic party, she's solidifying their control over the social issues, which she will back 100% of the time.
Make no mistake, she is campaigning right now. Thats why they have been spamming her here for a year. They are going to make sure you only options are a Kamala Harris/Joe Biden/Someone similar, or the new Marxist 'moderate' like Tulsi. "she's so sensible and common sense, mmmkay". And the right will fawn over her because she pretends to tell them what they want to hear on occasion, "So what she said muh Russian collusion was an act of war, she's anti war now that its in her interest to be. No one really needs an AR, think of the kids".
coincidentally oracle, intel, and salesforce all announced layoffs yesterday... my wife's company just laid off around 20% of their workforce tuesday.
One of Konnech’s software offerings is a program called PollChief, which schedules election workers and assists elections officials with supply and logistics procedures. In 2019 LA County entered into a contract with Konnech, and a sole-source contract worth more than $2 million was finalized in 2020. As part of the contract, Konnech was to abide by state and federal law, and to various information security procedures, which an LA County District Attorney’s office investigator described in a complaint supporting the request for a warrant for Yu’s arrest:
“[C]ontractor shall screen and conduct background checks on all Contractor personnel contacting County’s Confidential Information, including Personally Identifiable Information, for potential security risks and require all employees and contractors to sign an appropriate written confidentiality non-disclosure agreement.
Personally Identifiable Information, and County’s Confidential Information: (i) may only be made available and accessible to those parties explicitly authorized under the Contract or otherwise expressly approved by County in writing.
Only Contractor’s staff who are based in the United States and are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the United States shall have access to any County data, including personally identifiable information, hosted in County’s instance of the System Software.
...
“On or about October 10, 2019, through October 4, 2022, Eugene Yu and other employees at Konnech, Inc. were providing these services to Los Angeles County using third-party contractors based in China.
“…Konnech employees known and unknown sent personal identifying information of Los Angeles County election workers to third-party software developers who assisted with creating and fixing Konnech’s internal ‘PollChief’ software.”
In the video, which was publicly shared Thursday, Pelosi admits the actions could have resulted in her going to prison — a consequence she said she would "be happy" to accept.
"I hope he comes, I’m going to punch him out," Pelosi tells her Chief of Staff Terri McCullough, who discourages her boss from making the comments. "I’ve been waiting for this, for trespassing on the Capitol grounds. I’m going to punch him out."
Is that because you helped plan the coop on Jan 6?
so shell have him arrested on the spot for simple trespassing, but wouldn't send in extra security when requested... rrrrrright.
also weird she brought a film crew to film a documentary that day...
