We are already there, but the "liberals" don't want to see them, because they are not coming for them yet.
First they came for OWS, I didn't care because I wasn't OWS
Them they came for BLM, I didn't care because I wasn't BLM
Then they came for anti genocide protesters, I didn't care because ....

Despite Violent Rhetoric, Trump Didn't Threaten To Have Liz Cheney Shot
Donald Trump's remarks about the former Republican congresswoman sparked outrage among his political opponents.

Donald Trump now suggests killing US politician Liz Cheney by firing squad.
I am not kidding. This is the actual presidential candidate, which some US voters want to vote for next week.
What has America come to…
Attached clip is an excerpt from 3:22:00 in this video: youtube.com/live/vtaVd7tMF3M?s…
the proper serving temperature for red wine is cellar temperature: 56°F. Room temperature is far too warm. You're doing it right!
I used to work at a fancy wine bar, and we had coolers at that exact temperature for our reds. We kept the white wines somewhat cooler.
Most Americans drink their white wines too young (yes, you should age Chardonnay) and too cold (stuck in an ice bucket so you can't taste anything).

In yet another example of NatACT First's determination to put foxes in charge of every henhouse in the country, Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk is overseeing a return to a system where builders certify their own work. Instead of having it signed off by an independent expert.

Those with convenient cases of political amnesia may not remember that we moved away from this kind of system after the leaky buildings debacle.
(1/?)
Penk talks about limiting this ability to self-certify to larger operators, with a proven track record and a strong enough financial "position".
But he's either forgotten or never knew that builders used to create an off-the-shelf company for each build. Then wind up the company at the end of the build. So when people with leaky homes sought redress, they could shrug their shoulders and say 'that company wound up, I was just hired as a contractor,'.
Or he's hoping you don't know that.
(2/?)
I note too that NatACT First are planning to remove laws that allow company directors to be held liable in those sorts of circumstances.
Laws that may have been added to prevent a repeat of the leaky building debacle. Where insurance companies and councils ended up paying for people's repairs after lengthy court battles. Because they could seek redress from the directors of the wound-up building companies.
Either Penk doesn't know about that, or he hopes you don't.
(3/?)
It's also convenient for cowboy builders that Fair Go has been defanged. Just one example of the execs at TVNZ feeding the walls of the house into the fire, in a futile attempt to stay warm.
(4/4)
Yuck! That is really nasty
Then again, even when you've got a developer who's still busy building new stuff AND you've got a building guarantee, getting them to actually respond can sometimes still be hard
> Some builders are still using the off-the-shelf set ups
... which is why we don't allow them to self-certify, and have rules allowing company directors to be personally liable in cases of blatant shitfuckery.

I still have to believe that on Tuesday the clocks will be turned back by significantly different amounts depending on the election outcome.

in reply to Farhad 🆓🇵🇸 ☮️Now • • •I lived through a take over of the society by Khomeini, and studied the history of the fascism in Europe extensively.
Watching US is like living through the same but in slow motion. But very very similarly.
It's not just Trump. It's the whole society, turning against a special group at a time and moving on to the next.. from OWS, to BLM, anti fracking activists and now the anti genocide crackdown that is the most brutal of them all. And that brings up scarry memories from the past.
Every new target gets crushed more violently and brutally.
Not by death squads or torture chambers, but destroying their livelihood, making them unemployable and forcing them to submission or giving up and passivity.
Trump can be the natural next step and with passive and submissive Democrats, the only ones who will be standing up and fight the fascist takeover will be the "radicals" who are already demonized by the media and politicians on both sides.
