"It's called unnecessary idling and Ann Arbor cops will soon be enforcing in a whole new way. Considered a civil infraction, commercial drivers can no longer leave a vehicle idling unoccupied - or occupied for more than 5 minutes.
The 5 minute rule also applies to other drivers, but people are urged to cut off their engines after 10 seconds.
It's not just cars or trucks. The new rule applies to any vehicle with an internal combustion engine."
Aircraft too, apparently.
I didn't watch anything yesterday. And the investigation I was referring to was about Russia interfering with the election...not about investigating Trump personally.
As for his embarrassments, if you don't see it there's nothing I can say to you. As for results, he's done a lot of things wrong, but he's also done a lot of things right. The down side is that he's killing his own agenda with many of his actions. No one is focusing on his accomplishments because the focus is on his other stupid stumblings. Get him to act like a mature adult and that could change on a moments notice. How many advisors have told him to stop tweeting stupid rants in the middle of the night? And get his idiot children to keep their mouths shut.
I applaud much of what he's done, especially with regard to immigration. I think he may do so much more in other areas as well. But damn, do it with an ounce of dignity.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Looking out over a sea of people in Harvard Yard last week, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive and one of Harvard’s most famous dropouts, told this year’s graduating class that it was living in an unstable time, when the defining struggle was “against the forces of authoritarianism, isolationism and nationalism.”
Two days earlier, another end-of-year ceremony had taken place, just a short walk away on a field outside the law school library. It was Harvard’s first commencement for black graduate students, and many of the speakers talked about a different, more personal kind of struggle, the struggle to be black at Harvard.
“We have endured the constant questioning of our legitimacy and our capacity, and yet here we are,” Duwain Pinder, a master’s degree candidate in business and public policy, told the cheering crowd of several hundred people in a keynote speech.
From events once cobbled together on shoestring budgets and hidden in back rooms, alternative commencements like the one held at Harvard have become more mainstream, more openly embraced by universities and more common than ever before.
Earlier this spring, tiny Emory and Henry College in Virginia held its first “Inclusion and Diversity Year-End Ceremonies.” The University of Delaware joined a growing list of colleges with “Lavender” graduations for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. At Columbia, students who were the first in their families to graduate from college attended the inaugural “First-Generation Graduation,” with inspirational speeches, a procession and the awarding of torch pins.
Some of the ceremonies have also taken on a sharper edge, with speakers adding an activist overlay to the more traditional sentiments about proud families and bright futures.
There's so many people with different agendas it's hard to know what to believe.
MINIMUM INCOME???That's one. You said "all the bullshit give aways". Name some of the others.
Just how blind are you?
Putting the whole country on welfare guarantees that the parasites won't work and the working will pay LOTS more.
It is the way of the modern world.
If you actually wanted to cure the poverty problem you would endorse taking all free money off the table and implementing a rigid system that allows only truly needy to be able to collect public assistance.
How would someone right of center answer that question to your satisfaction?
In my mind, there isn't a "correct" answer to that. It will differ from person to person.
Most of the NSA's domestic intelligence gathering tactics were developed during the administration of Bush II. Not to try and say it wasn't Obama's fault, I suspect he could have done a great deal to stop the program had he wished, though I suspect strongly that any such move would have been strongly opposed by the Congressional GOP. And do keep in mind that Benedict Donald hasn't made any moves to end it either, and I doubt he will.
This is silly. What did you think I meant, that we were ruled by King Xenu?
Let's also remember that just because a set of information is harmful to national security does not mean that the governed people shouldn't know about it.
Interesting point brought up today on the Patriot Channel (Andrew Wilkow's show):
Where is Seth Rich's computer? Who has it?
That alone will either prove or disprove if he in fact was the WikiLeaks contact.
They are trying to create instability right now over nothing regarding the Trump Admin. It is treasonous.I wouldn't say it's nothing. There seems to be a lot of linear thinking going on right now on both sides (not referring to you). The right would have you believe that this is 100% fabricated and the media is out to get Trump. The left would have you believe that Trump is worse than Nixon and should be impeached immediately. Multiple things can be true.
