For charity and to promote the new Terminator movie.  

Which looks excellent.

"The rule would raise the salary threshold below which workers automatically qualify for time-and-a-half overtime wages to $50,440 a year from $23,660"

Oh I talk about my past with people I care about and have respect for their positions,

Outside of kdog I can't think of a single commentator here that meets that requirement.

So we are graced with someone who doesn't respect anyone here, but one occasional commenter, disagrees with everyone, is pretty much laughed at and not well liked, yet is here everyday because _______.

I honestly can't fill in the blank and this is not snark, I am truly interested in why a human being would do this.  It makes absolutely no sense to me, Jim views this place like most view a job they hate.

On Friday night, in the immediate wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's historic ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the news director of our local CBS affiliate KGMB-TV somehow saw fit to have his reporters interview the virulently homophobic State Rep. Bob McDermott, who's parlayed his ignorance on almost any subject into a seat in our state legislature, representing an urban district in west Oahu comprised mostly of white military retirees like himself.

McDermott's hateful reaction to Friday's decision was so entirely predictable that most of us here could likely and correctly sum up that gasbag's remarks, without ever having seen that interview for ourselves. That's because by now, we've heard that sort of inflammatory anti-gay rhetoric ad nauseum, so at least KGMB did everyone a favor by declining to preserve that interview online for posterity.

We're not going to gain any unique insights from people who thrive upon slander, gossip and innuendo. And further, this is not news but rather, an attempt to generate and perpetuate public controversy merely for its own sake. It's the logical result of journalism that's effectively become personality-driven, rather than issue-oriented. And it increasingly comes at the overall expense of public knowledge regarding the actual story itself.

So, shame on those in the media who've allowed such bigotry and hatemongering to rain upon this weekend's particularly joyous Pride events across the country. It's all so very unnecessary.

BTW - I have posted much more about me than you have about you.

In October 2012, Trump, a prominent figure in the "birther movement" - a loose affiliation of people who claimed Obama was born outside the US - accused Obama of being "the least transparent president in the history of this country" for refusing to release the very details Trump is now refusing to publish.

I was not disappointed.  He explained at length how anyone who chooses to ignore the marriage decision has that right.  It include a lengthy explanation of the (unknown to me) fact that a court decision has no meaning whatever to any one other than the parties involved in the case.   Also that this is the first time on our history that the court has ever taken a decision about the state of marriage away from the states.

Surprisingly none of this was questioned and Loving V Vriginia was not mentioned.

All the Republicans need to put this:

"The only documented allegations come down to the fact that he did business with people that later turned out to be deadbeats and crooks," said Tom Feeney, who was on the ticket as lieutenant governor during Bush's 1994 campaign

And since I haven't opposed a boycott...why are you giving me its definition?

boycott to combine in abstaining from, or preventing dealings with, as a means of intimidation or coercion:

But hey, keep digging the hole you're in, Jim. You want to live in a fantasy world where people can say anything, and they be protected from criticism or economic nonviolent coercion(I.e., boycott) because of freedom of speech whatever.
