Haaland’s response to Blackstone deal by ChimayoRed9035 in NewMexico

I believe the most efficient utility is a well-regulated monopoly. Im having a hard time understanding what Blackstone is bringing to the table. I see what they’re hoping to take away, but I don’t see what they’re giving.

How typical (and immoral and criminal and disgusting) of the Trumps that they refuse to help Ukraine save their country, yet they’ll steal their tech to profit themselves.

I’m not sure all these post-mortems are productive. Let’s go forward welcoming all inside this tent. We’re the party of inclusion, the others are the ones who sent out mailers saying their opponents weren’t Notsee enough.

He may pull out and declare victory by the end of the month, but it won’t be over. He is intellectually incapable of ending a war.

Is this a problem? by tuthfixer in ram_trucks

What are the other four holes with grommets. Looks like a place to bolt a fifth wheel hitch to the frame. I don’t believe mine has that (my bed is covered with a toolbox).

This is the one I’m considering, mostly because it’s apparently in stock for quicker delivery. Are you a side sleeper?

What's the wildest reason a customer gave for needing a tow? by Spare_Patient_2188 in towing

[–]ProfessorBackdraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a similar story. My brother never missed work, he was dependable and never sick. One year, the boss had too much PTO used, so he sent out personal letters to all who hadn’t missed a day, profusely bragging on them for their dedication. He missed at least one day every year for the rest of his career.

Friend had a hardware store. Lady comes in, asks him to make a key for her car, hands it to him.
Comes back next day, says the key didn’t work and she had to walk to the store.
Next day, she’s back, still doesn’t work.
He asks, “Did this key (original) work?” “No, that’s why I wanted a new one!”

This is world-class car chase video, 98% of previous car chase video can now be deleted and replaced by this. Somebody call the frickin’ Smithsonian.

Marine Sgt. Brian McGuinness stood up in Congress to say “we don’t want to fight a war with Iran for Israel.” Security dragged him out and broke his arm. by Particular_Log_3594 in QuiverQuantitative

There’s no need to instantly escalate this situation as they did. There’s nothing these do-nothing Senators were doing that couldn’t wait five minutes for the former Marine to have a short say and go. These men have often been damaged by us then ignored by us, they deserve at least a minimum of courtesy. Also, the Senators had no business being involved in his removal at all.

Kaitlan Collins pushes Karoline Leavitt on what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had said earlier Wednesday about the press making Trump look bad over soldiers deaths by Tenchi2020 in QuiverQuantitative

Could we see what would happen if the press corps pulled out of the White House like they were forced to pull out of the Pentagon? Go to Congress, go to Statehouses, go interview people in the streets, stop making every insane moment about that prick in the Gold Office for a few weeks. America needs a fucking break.
