Trump administration considers rollback of anti-discrimination rules
The Trump administration is considering a far-reaching rollback of civil rights law that would dilute federal rules against discrimination in education, housing and other aspects of American life, people familiar with the discussions said.
A recent internal Justice Department memo directed senior civil rights officials to examine how decades-old “disparate impact” regulations might be changed or removed in their areas of expertise, and what the impact might be, according to people familiar with the matter. Similar action is being considered at the Education Department and is underway at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Under the concept of disparate impact, actions can amount to discrimination if they have an uneven effect even if that was not the intent, and rolling back this approach has been a longtime goal of conservative legal thinkers. Past Republican administrations have done little to erode the concept’s application, partly out of concerns that the Supreme Court might disagree, or that such changes would be unpopular and viewed as racist.
Civil rights advocates said diminishing this tool could have sweeping consequences.
“Disparate impact is a bedrock principle,” said Kristen Clarke, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “Through the courts, we’ve been able to marshal data and use the disparate-impact doctrine as a robust tool for ferreting out discrimination.”
In New York, a lawsuit alleges that a large apartment complex in Queens will not rent to anyone with a criminal record, and that this has the effect of discriminating against African American and Latino renters. The suit is pending, relying on disparate impact to make the case.
In education, the Obama administration reached settlements with school systems such as the one in Lodi, Calif., where an investigation found widespread disparities in student discipline. African American students, for instance, were five times as likely as white peers to receive out-of-school suspensions for willful defiance or disruption.
In 2014, the Obama administration formally advised school systems they may be guilty of racial discrimination if students of color are punished at higher rates.

Camp David.
I once contacted a 220 line with a chisel. I found myself on the other side of the room before I knew what happened...not an experience I would care to repeat.
What is CD?

Could it be this?
Camp Delta is a permanent American detainment camp at Guantanamo Bay that replaced the temporary facilities of Camp X-Ray. Its first facilities were built between 27 February and mid-April 2002 by Navy Seabees, Marine Engineers, and workers from Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root. Wikipedia

Nancy and Co. plan to pass the seven remaining appropriations bills individually rather than as an omnibus.
Regardless of the politics involved, passing individual appropriations bills instead of an omnibus appropriation is a good thing. Takes longer and may result in more earmarks (Congress supposedly doesn’t have earmarks any more, however a skunk by any other name …), but entails more scrutiny. Twelve appropriations bills are required for the process; two or more may be combined into a “minibus” or an “omnibus” to speed passage. Here’s a summary of what remains for the FY19 appropriations process:

San Francisco – Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued this statement on Democrats’ continuing actions to re-open government:
“While President Trump threatens to keep the government shut down for ‘years’, Democrats are taking immediate further action to re-open government, so that we can meet the needs of the American people, protect our borders and respect our workers.
“Next week, House Democrats will begin passing individual appropriations bills to re-open all government agencies, starting with the appropriations bill that covers the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service. This action is necessary so that the American people can receive their tax refunds on schedule. The certainty of the tax returns of hard-working families should no longer be held hostage to the President’s reckless demands. This bill will then go to the Senate where it has already been passed with overwhelmingly bipartisan support.
“The senseless uncertainty and chaos of the Trump Shutdown must end, now.”

Camp David makes sense.
It is 3:14 isn't it?

bill still is ‘sick of this nonsense’... okay I never managed to listen to his videis, too long, but now he’s really gone too far..
Well that and he can’t get a second scoop of ice-cream.
What do you think the booms/explosions are? Would have to be huge quantities of tannerite and sooner or later people would find who is shooting at tannerite. Shooting at tannerite in the night? They’d have to have good lights, I wonder if night vision would work.
