Las Vegas Mayor Shocks Anderson Cooper

[SteveGrabowski]

Saw the head of the city commissioners or counsel last night on the tube, and he was screaming at her to "shut up, you have nothing to do with the actual strip which is in the unincorporated part of Las Vegas".

Any link to that? Sounds hilarious.

Living in the United States, but every other political position has a mentally ill person in it.

LOL, he's being an "alarmist" -- while she stated she has watched Anderson Cooper for years.....it is plainly obvious she gets her fair share of Hannity and that bunch also.....she is a sick individual!!

 

[JEDIYoda]

Actually, interestingly the mayor of Las Vegas has very little influence over Las Vegas. Most of what you think of as Las Vegas, the Strip, is in unincorporated Clark County and not Las Vegas.

That still does not make her out to be a sane individual......lol

Well -- think about it. There was a book available in paperback published in the late 1980s, entitled "Modern Madness: The Hidden Link between Work and Emotional Conflict", by Douglas LaBier. He was an organization psychologist, his office was in DC. About 20 or 30 pages are devoted to discussing how the Reagan administration made civil-service daily work-life "unhealthy". He noted that in several organizations he studied, the people in command positions had deep-rooted mental problems, but acted normal. In one case, an executive would open his office door just before EOB closing time, while his secretary was still at her desk. And he would then proceed to unzip himself and piss in the trash can.

The people under these supervisors and executives would exhibit crazy behavior, but his evaluations showed they were normal.

I have no worry of stigma about it. The Trumpies like to joke about "Trump Derangement Syndrome". But any normal, healthy, thinking human being and American would definitely succumb. Trump makes me mentally ill . . . And the Base? They're already space-aliens masquerading as humans . . . so -- yeah -- they're the ones who are really fuck-nuts.

He's f***ing shortening my life . . .

Another one auditioning for the part of the mayor in a Jaws remake.

The trouble with Las Vegas as a 'control group' (which is not an invalid concept, except that in real research you are supposed to run that sort of thing by an ethics board first, and it might raise an eybrow) is that surely the whole raison d'etre of the place is that people travel there from all over the country? It would just be a nationwide virus-exchange point.

To be honest, I find it hard to visualise someone screaming the word 'unincorporated'. Maybe he only screamed the first bit, up to the 'which'? I feel it would be hard to scream explanatory sub-clauses.

She wants to make the people of Las Vegas a "control group" so we can see what happens when you don't use social distancing during a pandemic.

404 no signs of sentient life found here.

You could argue we already have Sweden for that purpose (and I don't think the results are looking all that good). But, even leaving ethics out of it, Las Vegas would have to be the worst possible place to try that - as its whole reason for existing is to have a constant flux of visitors from everywhere else.

As a race; We so screwed when we have leaders this dumb.

Dont know about race but the western democratic model might be, its hard to imagine another paradigm not edging it out in pure natural selection metrics.
I mean how far away are the USA of a "democratic" decision to launch nukes at a hurricane?
Its mind boggling that you might even envision wishing help from Russia or China in stopping the stupid before everything turns to nuclear winter. (See, global warming was a hoax!!!! gay frogs huh!).
There is a reason its supposed to be three branches of power. The GOP is a disease. Maybe fatal disease. The GOP may also be a natural consequence of western democratic ideals. Maybe it could never last.

I really appreciated that she was just bright enough to know that she was saying something insane, but was also too stupid figure out exactly what - or avoid obvious contradictions like "no I have a family" in response to if she was planning on being down on casino floors like the workers who'd be virtually forced to be there.
