Hoax. There is no “promise[]” to “defund” (whatever that may mean) evident in that link. Please try again to satisfy Rule #2. Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER DOT COM Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) I agree with Joe and think redirecting money away from law enforcement to other public institutions could help, but also agree with the MAGA folk that fully defunding the police is the wrong way to go about it. (I think Joe agrees with that, too) Just now, Deranged Rhino said: This is my favorite meltdown spiral ever. Not one trolls but two falling into the eddy of despair. The only thing that makes it better is the commentary from the wannabe mod who promised his sheep that he would ignore "the trolls".

DFT Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 “ And I would’ve got away with it too, if it wasn’t for you darn polls!!!!” If Joe would have just come out with an honest intent on his running platform of, “I’m not sure what I’m for or against yet, until the polls tell me what to be for or against”, we could all have so much more harmony amongst us!

What it means to “defund” is key. Are we talking about diverting some monies now dedicated to policing costs to proactive, proven, community outreach measures? If so, and if the extent of the diversion is reasonable, sign me up. Makes perfect sense. If we’re talking about stripping police of all funding and abolishing police forces, I’m out. And I don’t know anyone who is “in” on the latter topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a PPP topic on this same idea that came to diverting some monies as the consensus for what "defund the police" means, yet when "defund" is now mentioned, those same posters claim it means the entire police budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been extremely busy and been largely off the board for the last couple weeks and this was the first thread I saw when I came back. Just an all around embarrassment. it’s clear the intention is to clutter the board with nonsense to the point where it’s so frustrating people disengage on the board.

Particularly to Coast Guard and local water rescue teams. I support this thread, and I see it as an important reminder not to have a parade of boats in crowded, choppy waters.

ziltoid Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I see this thread, and I see an opportunity. Lake Travis is mostly ~60' deep. I think you could raise that boat with two larger boats, winches, and a hired diver. Would it be worth $4,000 it to save a $30,000 boat? I think so.

The intention is to discuss Trump boat parades, specifically the Battle of Lake Travis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on balance it’s probably a reasonable theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much is that $30K boat worth, though, after being underwater for a couple weeks? Maybe $10-15K after spending hours of labor to repair. Also, if someone else's boat sinks, it doesn't automatically become the property of whoever raises it. There would have to be a barter to begin with to exchange the title.

Funny how that worked out So let’s get things flowing in the right direction again. Bottom line here is that previously calm waters rose up and defeated Trumpers. How do we prevent this from happening in the future? And how do we thank the first responders who were needlessly imperiled by this stupidity?
