I heard he’s taking the Telles appeal, with the full intention to take it to the US Supreme Court if necessary.

I hope I can say this, and it not be thwacked or be taken the wrong way. I voted for Ford twice for AG and I also donated close to $1000 the second election because the alternative was despicable. However, he is NOT a good leader and NOT a good administrator. I will not vote for him for governor. I hope the Dems don’t back him.
I’m in the same boat. I voted for him twice and donated a modest amount. But he is a horrible administrator, and he seems more interested in advancing his political career (and stocking a war chest with hundreds of millions of dollars more or less given to his former employer by way of no-bid contracts on easy-to-win opioid cases), than doing the job in front of him. And it’s quite probable that if he is elected to governor, he will be running for national office rather than working for our state. I hope he proves me wrong.
And there’s been no explanation as to why this was put out for a bid at all. It could have easily been handled in-house had Ford reallocated resources to do so. It could have brought millions upon millions more in for the state to use on necessary opioid programs. Instead, it went straight to Eglet’s pockets… and then to Ford’s next campaign (presumably).
Lombardo will ruin any chance at reelection by supporting Trump in deporting a huge percentage of our hotel workers, construction workers, and community members. Las Vegas won’t survive without this cheap labor.
I think that you are high or maybe delusional. All of the hotel casinos in town use E-verify. Construction will do just fine, as it always has, including in 2017-2021.
I think you are up in the night.
Remember that Trump literally just won election in Nevada by solid margins. If history is any indicator, and the economy booms even a little bit. Lombardo is a lock for reelection. And I held my nose a lot while voting out Sisolak.
The contractors that the casinos use for almost everything do not use e-verify. And if history is any indicator, the economy falls during republican administrations. You can look it up or just continue to make decisions based on how you feel and what that guy with the podcast said.
Cushy inhouse gig guy for a large subcontractor conglomerate. We are union, work for casinos and use everify, as do many of our counterparts. Many of our subcontract agreements require it.
I thought the same when I saw he was running. He’s NOT a strong candidate. I didn’t donate to him, but I did vote for him. I really hope the Dems put up a stronger candidate. They won’t because the party in blue likes to shoot itself in the foot (See, Exhibit [gestures about madly]).
With the war chest he amassed with his former employer (hundreds of millions in contingency fees for easy to win opioid cases the at the AG’s office could have easily handled), he is a sufficiently strong candidate. He can pay for media ads.
He is not well respected and has a couple of non-public (yet) skeletons. He has topped out on politics and will take a cushy top tier job at a large firm when he retires.
Because he is of the correct political persuasion and they’re probably neighbors in their dirty little dirt counties. Notice OBC hasn’t gone after Joey’s little “should be hanging from a crane” friend either.

I used to think Lombardo was more of a pragmatic, McCain type Republican who even if I didn’t like, I could at least respect a bit. Not anymore. He is just another spineless shill. Attacking the immigrant community is stupid and a loosing initiative. A better plan would be to reform our immigration system so that it was actually functional and transparent. Immigrants are a huge plus to our community and our economy. I full despise politicians who resort to racist tropes to gen up support amongst the deplorables. Crops are going to rot in the fields, new home construction prices are going to sky rocket, and everything is going to cost more under trump’s concept of an immigration plan. Bookmark this comment and let’s check it out in a year or two.
This is where we differ, I’d gladly take all those negative effects to not have the liberals forcing there woke ideology on me and I’d like once to go to so cal and be able to speak English, language borders and culture make a country. Move to tj if u love that culture.
I’ll treat u with respect as u seem civil. My child goes to middle school with “trans” kids. They use her restroom. Although perhaps there are occasions when one has a true need for these and I’m sure many have that challenge, she relates that these kids seem more interested in gawking. Is this true? I don’t know but the reports of this trouble me. It’s funny because I consider myself a libertarian but there has to be a better solution than this. Perhaps male female family restrooms I don’t know.
There are some obvious logistical issues to work out with trans students in public schools. I don’t like biological men competing against women. That said, the way that trans people are dehumanized and vilified by opportunistic politicians and media personalities is sickening.
1:22 here. I agree with most of what you’re saying. I’m tired of hearing about woke ideology, but when pressed the most the commenter can say is that their kid said their were some trans kids gawking in the bathroom. My recollection of Clark County School District is that all the bathrooms have stalls with doors so I’m not sure what anyone is gawking at. It’s nonsense.
The extent that anyone’s “woke” agenda has been imposed on anyone in the State of Nevada is so minimal.
I totally get that conservative people are going to vote for the Republican every time. The opposite is true of liberal people. That’s priced in.
Can we please demand more of the elected officials within our party?
Because it seems really easy for people to win in opposition to shadow issues (on both sides) right now without actually doing anything to make people’s lives better.
I go to CA a lot and I only speak English. Never a problem. Quit lying. I’d have more respect for republicans if they weren’t constantly making sh!t up.
1. It was not a clean sweep. See 1984 if you’d like to see a clean sweep. He didn’t even get as much of the popular vote as Biden did in 2020. 2. It does.
Don’t need bookmark anything. I just can recall with fondness, 2018-2019, when exactly NONE of that shit happened after it was promised by all you leftists and the legacy media.
Aaaahhhhh.
Not true. I remember posting in 2016 that the private prison companies were going to donate to get trump elected and then they were going to change the immigration policy so stuff like over-staying visas was going to turn into a crime instead of a civil infraction so that they could lock up undocumented folks and funnel more tax dollars to the private prison industry. That is exactly what happened. Also, crops did rot in fields all across the south in those really smart red states that started locking up immigrations and raiding food processing plants. Crops also rotted in CA. Look it up, buttercup. But calling me a leftist and make a vague reference to “legacy media” is definitely a coherent response.
Point well made. @11:35 here. To clarify, I meant a loosing initiative for the population. It definitely wins elections because Americans are dumb, but we will definitely lose in the long run.
Are you talking about Nevada or in general? And if you’re talking only about Nevada, where do you think our food comes from? If crops are rotting in the fields in Alabama, guess whose tomato prices are going up? Do you think it’s not all interconnected? Maybe stay away from the warehouse for a few hours a day???
In southern Nevada, the undocumented tend to fields of 2x4s and roofing tiles. They sow concrete and reap drywall. The work would get done without them, but slower, and at higher cost.
They tend hay in Eastern Nevada. They are the steel girders propping up damn near everything in the hospitality industry in both Reno and Las Vegas. Remove them, and the whole thing comes crashing down.
I want to know as much as anyone but these moral indignation articles from the RJ where they only quote “first amendment experts” on their side is tedious.

Kirstin Lobato is gettin’ that money. $34 million in compensatory.
What police protection? I’ve interacted with police twice this year. Once when I was the victim of a crime and had some personal property stolen. The police were so opposed to taking a report, I was even threatened by the sergeant that he was going to file charges of filing a false police report against me. Once the report actually got filed weeks later, the property was tracked to Mexico and the detective confirmed it was likely gang activity and there was nothing they could do about it now that it was in Mexico. Second interaction my blinker light went out as I was driving home. I have had my car for a few years and don’t like paying $100 to have a mechanic put in a new light bulb. I had spare light bulbs and a screw driver at home, but got pulled over and got to pay a $75 ticket for a light bulb that had literally just gone out minutes before the cop pulled me over. Did the cop give a shit that I had spare bulbs at home and it had just gone out? No. Was that a useful expenditure of tax payer dollars? Absolutely not. The amount of time and energy that went into processing that ticket far exceeded the $75 I paid.
So when I hear about cops protecting taxpayers, I think that’s bullshit. I am better off handling things myself than calling the cops because they don’t do shit.
Special treatment? I tried to file a police report over stolen property and not only did they refuse to even take the report, they then threatened to charge me with filing a false police report. How is that expecting special treatment? Are you stupid? How exactly low are your reading comprehension levels? Can you even distinguish a vowel from a noun?
The cops in this hell hole of a town are paid a lot of money to TAKE POLICE REPORTS OVER STOLEN PROPERTY. That is not asking for special treatment. That is asking them to do the bare fucking minimum.
As far as the blinker is concerned, I did not ask for special treatment; nor did the little piggy have to write the ticket. You really think it’s “special treatment” to expect cops to go after real crimes and not someone’s blinker that just went out? How about return on investment? Do you feel vindicated as a taxpayer that your tax dollars got spent on writing a ticket for a blinker that got changed out the same day? You feel good about that, bootlicker?
This is a dick thing to say, for sure. WAIT until you try filing basically any misdemeanor report. They will NOT let you make a report, of course meaning they will also not do anything about it.
she just admitted to cutting off a homeless man’s penis during the same time a homeless man with a cut off penis was found dead, you are an idiot at best
Have you read anything about this case at all? She wasn’t even in Las Vegas when the crime was committed. That’s why the judge issued a judgment of actual innocence. While these jagoff cops were coercing a confession and manufacturing evidence, the real murderer has never been found and may still run the streets. You’re a real genius.

I would love a day kinda like the Purge except instead of crimes and murders, all the lawyers just get to say whatever they want about the judges to their faces. I’d particularly like to confront a couple family court judges. Rulings from years ago are still destroying lives. Current judge/former pro tem discovery commissioner ruled on a discovery motion during COVID that I wasn’t allowed to conduct discovery on dad leaving the little girl with a strange man alone overnIght In a shed on his property because dad and friends wanted to get hIgh Inside the maIn house. The sittinG judge in that case affirmed the pro tem. So of course dad continued to do shit like leave the girl with strange men and of course she got raped. Endless court hearings, counseling appointments, online predators. The list goes on. Thanks family court. I hope you all get exactly what you’ve inflicted on the children in this community.
After 20 years in that shithole all I can say is I believe you and feel for you. Until the cabal is dissolved in all its political manifestations the children will suffer. Heartbreaking.
Off topic, but how are you guys addressing the corporate transparency act filing requirements for your clients? Do you still recommend these get filed even with the injunction issued a few weeks ago? Do you file for your clients, or are you recommending your clients go somewhere else, or fill them out themselves?
You can still file them if you wish, but the requirement is likely dead. Especially considering that the Trump administration didn’t support the law in the first place. Will probably drop the appeal I imagine.
Having drained the coffers of the taxpayer’s money, Joey’s work here is done.
4D chess you ignorant fools
I’ve heard he’s on the short list for Nevada’s next U.S. attorney.
I heard he’s taking the Telles appeal, with the full intention to take it to the US Supreme Court if necessary.
I hope I can say this, and it not be thwacked or be taken the wrong way. I voted for Ford twice for AG and I also donated close to $1000 the second election because the alternative was despicable.

https://nevadaepro.com/bso/external/bidDetail.sdo?docId=03AG-S553&external=true&parentUrl=close
The bid opened and closed very quickly with no information blasts to let people know what was happening. The selection process was entirely rigged for Eglet and laughably so. Does he think we’re that dumb? https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/attorney-generals-office-to-contract-with-ags-former-employer-on-opioid-litigation
And there’s been no explanation as to why this was put out for a bid at all. It could have easily been handled in-house had Ford reallocated resources to do so. It could have brought millions upon millions more in for the state to use on necessary opioid programs. Instead, it went straight to Eglet’s pockets… and then to Ford’s next campaign (presumably).
The Democrats need a throw away because they can’t currently beat Lombardo in 2026. They will probably back him, even if in name only.
Lombardo will ruin any chance at reelection by supporting Trump in deporting a huge percentage of our hotel workers, construction workers, and community members. Las Vegas won’t survive without this cheap labor.
I think that you are high or maybe delusional. All of the hotel casinos in town use E-verify. Construction will do just fine, as it always has, including in 2017-2021.

Sorry homie. I represent several large Union contractors which the
casinos must use in building. And they do use E-verify.
Nice deflection though.
Of course, you are considering COVID as the reason for Trump economies “decline”.
Cushy inhouse gig guy for a large subcontractor conglomerate. We are union, work for casinos and use everify, as do many of our counterparts. Many of our subcontract agreements require it.
“And if history is any indicator, the economy falls during republican administration”
That is just blatantly false…
Pick an economic measure, then, and describe how it stands up to various administrations.
I thought the same when I saw he was running. He’s NOT a strong candidate. I didn’t donate to him, but I did vote for him. I really hope the Dems put up a stronger candidate. They won’t because the party in blue likes to shoot itself in the foot (See, Exhibit [gestures about madly]).

Who is there? Dina Titus maybe?
OMG! Please no. That Southern drawl / accent just drives me crazy!
She tried a statewide race once and lost. I doubt she’ll try again.
Another Source on the Gilbert resignation, complete with links to all the nonsense perpetrated during his tenure. https://www.carsonnow.org/12/11/2024/joey-gilbert-resigns-from-douglas-county-school-district-after-board-member-moves-to-terminate-his-firm
That’s a whole lot of nonsense.
Not sure why OBC hasn’t done anything about him.
Because he is of the correct political persuasion and they’re probably neighbors in their dirty little dirt counties. Notice OBC hasn’t gone after Joey’s little “should be hanging from a crane” friend either.

Lombardo’s default is to be pragmatic. He is more than willing, however, to light his hair on fire to appease the extremists.
This is where we differ, I’d gladly take all those negative effects to not have the liberals forcing there woke ideology on me and I’d like once to go to so cal and be able to speak English, language borders and culture make a country. Move to tj if u love that culture.
I don’t like wokeism, but I dislike conservatives prostrating themselves as victims of wokeism even less.
Sure the country will be brought to its knees, but you know, it’s better than some vague concept created from whole cloth to trick fools.
Genuine question: What “woke ideology” has been forced on you and what tangible impact has it had on your life?
I’ll treat u with respect as u seem civil. My child goes to middle school with “trans” kids. They use her restroom. Although perhaps there are occasions when one has a true need for these and I’m sure many have that challenge, she relates that these kids seem more interested in gawking. Is this true? I don’t know but the reports of this trouble me. It’s funny because I consider myself a libertarian but there has to be a better solution than this. Perhaps male female family restrooms I don’t know.
Does your kid’s middle school not have doors on the bathroom stalls?
I was going to say. Girls’ restrooms have stalls so what are they “gawking” at? Girls looking at themselves in the mirror.
There are some obvious logistical issues to work out with trans students in public schools. I don’t like biological men competing against women. That said, the way that trans people are dehumanized and vilified by opportunistic politicians and media personalities is sickening.

Home school your kids.

You mean the same deplorables that won in a clean sweep landslide just last month?
I hope that your moral and intellectual superiority keeps you warm as night.
1. It was not a clean sweep. See 1984 if you’d like to see a clean sweep. He didn’t even get as much of the popular vote as Biden did in 2020. 2. It does.
Cope and seeth.
What landslide? Have some intellectual honesty.
Don’t need bookmark anything. I just can recall with fondness, 2018-2019, when exactly NONE of that shit happened after it was promised by all you leftists and the legacy media.

Crops also rotted in CA. Look it up, buttercup. But calling me a leftist and make a vague reference to “legacy media” is definitely a coherent response.
I think it’s hard to call it a “loosing” initiative when it was the number one issue in DJT’s campaign…
Point well made. @11:35 here. To clarify, I meant a loosing initiative for the population. It definitely wins elections because Americans are dumb, but we will definitely lose in the long run.
Looser
Crops in what fkg fields? Our fields are warehouses and the crops are weed.
Your hyperbole is nonsense doom-saying.
Are you talking about Nevada or in general? And if you’re talking only about Nevada, where do you think our food comes from? If crops are rotting in the fields in Alabama, guess whose tomato prices are going up? Do you think it’s not all interconnected? Maybe stay away from the warehouse for a few hours a day???
We are talking about Lombardo. So Nevada. Pay attention. . . .
Ok so you think we grow food crops in NV? Where do you think our food comes from?
Maybe you’re the one who needs to pay attention…
In southern Nevada, the undocumented tend to fields of 2x4s and roofing tiles. They sow concrete and reap drywall. The work would get done without them, but slower, and at higher cost.
They tend hay in Eastern Nevada. They are the steel girders propping up damn near everything in the hospitality industry in both Reno and Las Vegas. Remove them, and the whole thing comes crashing down.
It will come crashing down. We are about to fuck around and find out.
Deport the criminals? Of course. But why the deliberate collateral damage that hurts everyone?

Kirstin Lobato is gettin’ that money. $34 million in compensatory.
https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/courts/jury-awards-woman-more-than-34m-finds-detectives-fabricated-evidence-3227379
Good. Now does this come out of metro’s overtime budget? Or is this another one us taxpayers have to eat shit on?
That should come straight out of the two retired detective’s PERS accounts – zero them out.
So outrageous. This will take away police protection from the rest of the hardworking taxpaying citizens.
What police protection? I’ve interacted with police twice this year. Once when I was the victim of a crime and had some personal property stolen. The police were so opposed to taking a report, I was even threatened by the sergeant that he was going to file charges of filing a false police report against me.

The amount of time and energy that went into processing that ticket far exceeded the $75 I paid.
So when I hear about cops protecting taxpayers, I think that’s bullshit. I am better off handling things myself than calling the cops because they don’t do shit.
So the fact that the police didn’t give you special treatment in these two situations means what exactly?
Special treatment? I tried to file a police report over stolen property and not only did they refuse to even take the report, they then threatened to charge me with filing a false police report. How is that expecting special treatment? Are you stupid? How exactly low are your reading comprehension levels? Can you even distinguish a vowel from a noun?

I just filed one two days ago and it was a breeze.
How was the boot leather?
Hire better people then, as the CCSD needs to do.

Good. The case against her always seemed questionable at best.
she just admitted to cutting off a homeless man’s penis during the same time a homeless man with a cut off penis was found dead, you are an idiot at best
U clearly haven’t read the case. That did not occur.
Didn’t happen.

Off topic, but how are you guys addressing the corporate transparency act filing requirements for your clients? Do you still recommend these get filed even with the injunction issued a few weeks ago? Do you file for your clients, or are you recommending your clients go somewhere else, or fill them out themselves?
I have stopped all filings and informed my clients.
Same. Most had already filled out, as it ended up not being terribly onerous. But about half hadn’t been filed and we did the same as 9:28 AM.
You can still file them if you wish, but the requirement is likely dead. Especially considering that the Trump administration didn’t support the law in the first place. Will probably drop the appeal I imagine.
