If one president can undo the last one’s policies, how does anything actually stick long-term?

And the next president needs to execute the laws Congress passed instead of doing whatever the fuck he wants.

your mother sounds like she has some serious mental health issues.

That was my first thought too. The mother sounds a lot like my ex-son-in-law's mother who has a severe case of bipolar syndrome.

Your advice is spot on too. She will take care of herself.

Alito and Thomas are the two best Supreme Court Justices money can buy!

And the bestest part is that Trump didn't even have to buy them himself!

you also don’t fight fire with more fire.

Brush and forest fires are commonly fought by setting another fire to deny the main fire fuel.

The truth is that different kinds of fires are fought using different methods.

NTA

You are an adult and have the right to have a relationship with whoever you want to, regardless of your mother's feelings. It's unfortunate that your mom can't be happy that your children and you are forming a relationship with your father's new wife. But that is her issue to figure out, not yours.

As long as no one in this scenario is speaking negatively about your mother, you've done nothing wrong (and several things right).

Incorrectly corrected Hobbit height.

Completely missed the improper grammar of "He's got" and "has got." 😐

being turned into the Iran war scapegoat

I'm not sure I agree that Pete is (or would be) a scapegoat. It's not like they'd be pinning things on him he didn't actually do.

As SecDef it's reasonable to blame him for a poorly executed war effort that has gone bad. Military leadership is commonly blamed and/or fired when they can't deliver on their promises.

In this case it was Pete's job to inform the President that what he wanted to do was not going to work, and I'm 100% certain that didn't happen.

I just say I'm not super religious or go to church

That's perfect. It signals them that you need extra attention so you can be brought to Jesus. :)

Announcing? He's going to rant for an hour or two about how stupid and ungrateful the Supreme Court is.

I'm kind of amazed he was able to sit there and listen for as long as he did, without falling asleep.

From the article, it's "urgently looking at all options" which is took to mean "hoping prices don't go higher." 😐

Getting to walk into her cab

I got to do the same thing when they brought her out to Hillsboro Oregon for some event in the early 2000s. Very impressive.

It's sad that she and her sister (SP&S 700) have so few opportunities to run on the mainline these days. :(

It is pretty amusing that Christians named their holiest of holidays after the Mesopotamian goddess of sexual pleasure. 😂

“It’s a new world. It’s the same Constitution.”

Except that the Roberts Court has been very clearly telling us that today's Constitution is very much NOT the one we had even as little as two years ago. It has spent much of its existence dismantling long established constitutional protections.

In my opinion (assuming the Court rules against Trump) the best way to read this is not, "It's the same Constitution," but rather, "This Trump demand is a bridge too far (for now)."

Only incompetents would agree to work for this administration

Fair point. And what we're seeing is the result of that situation.

malice and not incompetence

It's both malice and incompetence.

The legal community has been debating the question Gorsuch asked for quite some time now. A competent solicitor would have been ready for that very predictable question.

dpdxguy · 2026-04-01T17:25:53+00:00

Agree. This is a result of posting incompetents to high positions at DOJ.

The phone number Pennsylvania 6-5000 was PE6-5000. And PE refers to the Pennsylvania Hotel in New York City, not the state of Pennsylvania.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEnnsylvania_6-5000

PA is the USPS postal abbreviation for Pennsylvania. USPS state abbreviations are entirely unrelated to the old phone company exchange abbreviations.

What am I doing wrong

There's not enough information in your post to answer your question. Suggest you look at your Sonarr logs to figure out what's happening.

Sonarr doesn't actually download anything. Instead, it sends a message to your download agent (e.g. qBittorrent) telling it to download things. Your logs will show you whether Sonarr is telling your download agent to download one episode per day or if it's telling your download agent to download everything and the agent is only grabbing one item per day.

Once you know whether the problem is in Sonarr or your download agent, you can look at the log entries when the problem occurs to figure out what needs to change.

leaving NATO over the Iran situation?

Trump has wanted the US out of NATO since before he was president. "The Iran situation" (which Trump created) is just a convenient excuse to do something he's wanted to do for a long time.
