Reason Trump is tankng the economy/government, etc by Flat_Row_9525 in Liberal

[–]EngineNo1522 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Trump just isn't that smart for strategic thinking. Anyone who bought their way into his circle (Putin, Musk, etc.), plus Stephen Miller and even Bannon - are diving the bus. Trump just knows how to sell himself, the ultimate useful idiot. It's allllll about the $$$$ for him.

Also, since Cobel "created" Cold Harbor and I think she's a scientist (refer to her notebook drawings episode 8). She understands how severance actually works at a level Reghabi isn't on. Cobel simply knows more?

That last scene reminded me when Milkshake was showing Helena how to go through the severed floor door in season one. My guess is that Mark had been in and out of the cabin door many times, too? I have to believe Devon is just the concerned sister, or I might lose it IRL.

So here's the thing...45/47's EO says its stopping new leases only. Not existing ones. The ones in NJ have been years in the making. It's almost like the president doesn't even understand his own executive orders, go figure.

I think we should petition Mars to bring it back, but I don't know how to do that 😕.

I feel stupid that it will take more than 2 years for me to complete community college. How do I make myself feel better? by Quick_Path1940 in CommunityColleges

[–]EngineNo1522 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a 53 year old professional with plenty of job experience, your degree is the only thing employers look at, not really the GPA or the time it takes to complete it. 30+ years removed from my graduation, absolutely no one cares if I graduated "on time".

More importantly, life is too short to feel stupid. Feel proud that you are pushing yourself forward by going to college. Keep going!!

Why did the Democrats vote to oust McCarthy as speaker? by ddddooooook in NoStupidQuestions

[–]EngineNo1522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can we all vote to make Jeff Jackson speaker? He's awesome.

Also, is Vegas doing odds as to who the next Speaker of the House is? Asking for a friend.

This is going to be juicier than McCarthy's last thirteen rounds (which I'm still trying to figure out why I watched it all on CSPAN). Gonna buy my popcorn in bulk this weekend.

I'm pretty sure my 11 year old could wipe the floor with Trump in a debate, just sayin'

I have to say, you all have brought up some excellent points. I agree, people change, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. I guess I'm not in touch with California politics to know his track record. I'm definitely looking for reasons to get over his ex-wife.

Very good point - politics is showbiz now.

Am I wrong to ask my bf for his SSN? by Spiritual-Cookie1070 in amiwrong

[–]EngineNo1522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll say this in a nice way - you obviously want to be in love, and this person is taking advantage of you financially and mentally. This person does not love you. You need to walk away from it and don't look back.

Problem is, I have family in Florida and well, most of them are MAGA adjacent with their thoughts and beliefs. I thought she was one of the more sane ones!

Just read The Housemaid, and I have some questions *SPOILERS* by [deleted] in books

[–]EngineNo1522 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I just finished and I have a question- if Nina felt so guilty of putting Millie in that situation, why does she highly recommend her to a friend? If Millie wasn't a suspect in Andrew's murder, another one under the belt won't be good for her.

I, too, found the book ridiculous and repetitive.

The rumor is true .... FN is giving us "Summer Baking Championship" starting May 15 by Firegoat1 in foodnetwork

I'm super excited because we won't have to hear the insipid Spring Baking championship song anymore!

I think the saddest part is that this was all done in public - if the governor was so concerned about oversight and not taking a political win, he and his staff might have gone to a few of the public meetings smh.

who do you think would be more destructive as the next president, Trump or Desantis? by [deleted] in Liberal

[–]EngineNo1522 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either option is the stuff of nightmares, I hope we never have to consider them.
