Power outage near Marriott HQ site planned for tonight in downtown Bethesda

A planned Pepco power outage is scheduled for tonight, Sunday, October 28, 2018 from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM tomorrow morning near the Marriott International headquarters construction site at 7750 Wisconsin Avenue. The outage is only expected to affect the Tastee Diner, Woodmont Grill, and businesses across Norfolk Avenue from the site, according to the Marriott development team. Tastee Diner will obviously feel the most impact, as they are open 24 hours.

There is rain expected tonight starting around 7:00 PM. If weather conditions prevent the work from being performed, the power outage will be postponed until Monday night.

Residential buildings are not anticipated to be affected by this outage, but keep me posted if your building loses power tonight.

Law suit by diner coming. This has really hurt their business. They need to stop whining though, they knew the redevelopment was coming but are now unprepared. They could have easily rented a generator to avoid this outtage even though it's temporary.

Your campaign ad in the middle of this article implies that you oppose either the electrical work being done by PEPCO, or the construction of the new Fortune 500 headquarters for Marriott (plus Starwood whom they poached from Connecticut) in SmartGrowthLand Bethesda, or both.

8:30: Only to you, troll. By the way, Marriott isn't a "new" Fortune 500 HQ; it's just moving downtown from the Rock Spring area of Bethesda. Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I thought you opposed same-day voter registration? Isn't this what the MS-13 Mobs currently marching through Mexico are going to use to vote in the names of the deads in Moses Cemetery to re-elect Hans Riemer in a landslide?

Bobby, why do you keep deleting comments pointing out that you are/were a member of gab.com, the anti-Semitic social media community? You're a candidate. Hiding stuff like that isn't exactly transparent, is it now?

Robert Dyer said...

3:57: By that definition, so are Twitter and Facebook. Hyperbole at its best, troll.

Whataboutism.

Gab bills itself as the free-speech alternative to Facebook and Twitter for far-right extremists.



Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument.

5:31: LOL - Whataboutism is a new gimmick you guys had to create because you knew everything you were going to accuse Trump of doing, your side had been doing for years. That word only appeared in the mass media after Trump was elected.

"Wait a minute, not only is what you just accused me of not true, but you (or your guy, or your majority leader) did exactly that x years ago."

"WHATABOUTISM!!!!!!"

What a joke.

Gab absolutely does not bill itself as a site for "far-right extremists." You just made that up. Gab billed itself as a site where freedom of speech would not be curtailed. In that environment, will you hear something that offends or is controversial? Certainly. But that's a principle the nation was founded on. First Amendment. Did it attract more right-wing users than left? Yes, because no one is deplatforming or shadowbanning liberals and Democrats, who own and dominate Twitter & Facebook. But Gab turned out to be a bomb because much like Twitter and Facebook, you can't get followers without paying them money. Rip-off.

"We don't have the freedom of speech to talk about the weather. We have the first amendment so we can say some very controversial things." - Ron Paul

Yeah, sure, and Gab followed all of those neo-Nazis on your account without your input.

Robert Dyer said...

4:25: You are in a fantasy world where anyone to the right of John McCain is a "Nazi." Ridiculous.

Anna said...

First of all, whataboutism is the Republican m.o., not a new democratic "gimmick."

You realize what you just said is that you needed a site where riling up the audience and offending others is the purpose, but it was ruined by people paying others to spout the crap.

You think "liberals" and "Democrats" dominate Twitter and Facebook? Hahahaha. I guess if that's what you're looking for. I see kid updates, friends and family having fun, self-improvement memes, cute animals and friends needing hugs.

I'll take level-headed sensibleness over conspiracy theories every day of the week.
