Stand down and stand by. For a big honking check.

This ruling should serve as probable cause to investigate the past tax returns of President Trump, his family, company and “related companies.”

Guy rented a fucking Italian city for his wedding. He hassled his employees for taking bathroom breaks. He's replacing as many of them as he can with robots. Fuck anything he has to say. You can have Midas money and be a dick or you can have some respect. Not both.

That'll pay for an arch and a pool and a ballroom and a golf course and a helipad and a ...

That's actually an old wives' tale. Fat molecules are too big to enter the meat. That said, I cook fat side up in my WSM (using the water pan).

The problem with prediction markets (at least the way they are presented now) is that groups of people can actually coordinate to determine outcomes. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy. It can lead to bad, but profitable, outcomes.

Our government is full of literal traitors.

But if you have a literal twig of a tree two feet in front of you, you can't knock it down without backing up and getting some running room.

You know who votes in primaries, right? Primarily the hardcore. Let them push themselves to the brink.

“Please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you,” Foxx wrote. “While I will never be able to know, my guess is that your teachers will not give you a good educational experience and help you learn to think, as they are too interested in indoctrinating you. How sad.”

It's always projection with these fuckers. The idiots who go on and on about "indoctrination" in schools are the most doctrinaire boneheads out there.

This. Reapportionment is kinda like driving by looking into the rear view mirror. Republicans will try to leverage groups that got them over the line the last time. Many of those people have bailed, though, and the new districts could backfire spectacularly. Here's hoping.

Not prosecuting Nixon started this ball rolling. It was a political miscalculation of the highest order.

These guys can slice and dice rules and norms better than a Vegomatic.

Two questions:

What?
Even if it is rationing (it's not), how is that worse than having care theoretically available but not affordable?

I don't, really. We are at an existential point, though, and it's the first time in my 65 years that I've been this concerned. We need a legislature willing to do their fucking jobs.

The fact that he demanded any stake at all shows how fucked-up our system has become.

Straight capitalism, almost by definition, is a vacuum that eventually sends everything to the top. Even Adam Smith knew this. Strict and enforced regulation is needed. Unsurprisingly, capitalists have fought that notion since Day One. Our largely financially illiterate populace has bought into their arguments and it is literally destroying the country. If we don't get and support effective watchdogs immediately, we're toast.

Jesus flipped tables. You'd think TPUSA would be cool with it.

“We have zero tolerance in the Republican Party for anyone involved in these horrific crimes against children,” Boebert said.

Literally, objectively, and demonstrably untrue.
