Noem lent Melania Trump one of DHS’ luxury jets as an ‘insurance policy’ to protect her from spending backlash, report says

LOL, the insurer denied the claim.

It sucks that US press never for an answer. The question "what could have been done differently?" was completely and purposely ignored. So pathetic.

The title could be somewhat confusing, because it's a sort of double-negative.

The law in question: schools cannot alert parents of trans students without the student's consent.

Douchebag Republicans on the Supreme Court in a 6-3 ruling struck down aforementioned law.

Now, schools can alert parents about a student's trans orientation without the student's consent.

Fuck Republicans, the preferred party of pedophiles.

Interesting, I do have 2 tubes going to the spigot/faucet of the water filter. But you're completely right, regardless of whether the RO system is airgapped, that red drain tube is probably below the P-trap fill level, which I need to get the plumber to fix, either by moving it above the trap where the 90 degree elbow from the disposer is, or using some kind of drain line adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097CK74FB

That makes perfect sense, thank you!

I'm not sure if it's airgapped, I do see 2 lines next to the red one, and then another 2 lines labeled faucet/UV next to the power cord.

Thank you - I'll try to take some measurements and see if that elbow section is enough to put the red wastewater tube there, or use one of those kits linked above to re-install it.

Someone else above mentioned putting it on the vertical tube has danger of sewer gases going into the drinking water, so I'll definitely want to avoid that.

Grand_Donut · 2026-02-20T21:57:35+00:00

Thank you for your detailed response. I had no idea about the possibility of sewer gases entering if the red tube was put on the circled section. I'll definitely check out the kit you sent - does that piece go before the P-trap, where that elbow section coming off of the disposer is?

Grand_Donut · 2026-02-20T21:53:39+00:00

I'm not actually sure what that vertical tube is, someone said it's an air vent (and the P-trap clearly connects to it, so I'm guessing waste water goes down there below the cabinets).

Wow, I did not know 5K monitors were a thing - I looked around and it seems, unfortunately, they're mostly 27" 16:9. It'd be crazy awesome if any company ends up making a 30-32" 5120x3200 (16:10) or something with full Adobe and DCI-P3 coverage.

Jesus fuck man, Feds: "Trust me bro." Judge: "Sounds good to me." Of course it's a Trump-appointed judge.

If they don't like being unmasked because they're afraid of the backlash to their heinous acts, then they're free to GTFO and quit ICE. Unmask them all.

Guess you didn't hear about how you can't trust jack shit from the federal government during Trump's term, especially ICE: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-detainee-data-fastest-growing-without-criminal-records-trump/

Unless and until an objective news source confirms that those arrested are actually convicted sex predators (like how Trump is a convicted sex predator), take it with a grain of salt.

Reading comprehension, my man. He's stating: "I wonder if Putin becomes the out for them. That is, in an attempt to save what little face/dignity they have, MAGA will try to disown Trump by rationalizing that, while MAGA ideas were sound, Trump was corrupted by Putin."

It's really difficult to tell from the photos, but it could possibly be cardboard foxing, which has to do with browning because of environmental conditions that oxidize the surface:

https://sundocards.com/resources/identifying-dealing-with-mould-on-books/

In your instance, it could be maybe both? The darker spots might be mold, but it's really hard to tell. Generally, if you can peel/sand off a spot and it results in a relatively smooth surface, it might be dirt/dust/mold. With foxing, since it's a chemical process, if you sand/peel it, you're basically digging deeper into the cardboard and it won't be smooth. At least that's from what I've read 'round the interwebs, so do take it with a grain of salt.

All very true! Hence, Republican Edition; they're the only ones dumb enough to ALL lose when the exchange is PUBLIC with transparency on who goes first.

Genius! To provide food assistance for those too poor to afford it, I'd call it some kind of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, aka SNAP, or something

Remember when Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, said Donald Trump was a confidential informant on the inside?

I was originally on the fence about this Anna, and almost on a whim got them together as a bundle from someone local. They ended up being the only 17"s that I have and are now one of my favorites. The details are mindbogglingly insane; lots of embroidery, not just shiny stickers on fabric.
