If it’s true that he committed a fatal OPSEC error because he wanted to flirt with some chick, it would be the least surprising thing to happen to an Italian since Andrew Cuomo’s downfall.

lol the number of "RW-adjacent" people bolstering the "who cares it was a CEO" communist narrative is almost as sad as it is not surprising.
You either have a society in which people are moved towards retributive justice when witnessing a premeditated murder on camera or you don't have a functioning society.
It's that simple.

these women are skilled professionals (i define that as a person who shows a high level of ability to do something that gets them paid) at roping these guys in. I get why and how they do it. what makes me chortle is how the guys keep falling for it.
it's like seeing a guy with a fold out card table on the street playing 3 card monte. if you've ever played it or have seen a video on someone who's good at it, they will absolutely take your money and you will lose. at best you have a 1/3 shot, but they are skilled at tricking your eye, and they can move the card where they want tricking you into thinking it is in another place, or they can use slight of hand and just basically cheat you and you'll never see it.
the way to not lose is to not play.
I know of a surefire way to win money at 3 card monte.

It’s a pro job.
Makes 3 the least likely scenario. With some insider trading rumors floating around that could add another scenario.

From what I understand blaming the opposition citing their supposed North Korean sympathies is rather popular among S Korean politicians.

The threat of tariffs may/may not work over time, especially with the tendency for our government to change direction in dizzying fashion. However, programs like this, with a substantial amount of money gifted over time, don’t seem to be the answer either. Precious little oversight according to the GAO.
https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-21-335
Under the Mérida Initiative, the U.S. has spent about $3 billion since 2007 assisting security forces with fighting corruption and criminal organizations—like drug cartels—in Mexico.
For programs under the Initiative, there's a risk of funds going to individuals or groups involved in contract fraud, human rights abuses, or other crimes. Yet, the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development haven't fully assessed such potential fraud risk. And although State screens Mexican security personnel for human rights violations, it has cut back on vetting other personnel, such as judges.
That's really the rub here. Mexico is incredibly corrupt and mendacious, which is unbecoming of its true status as a client state of the USA. Its entire ruling class, including Sheinbaum (interesting name for a Mexican), is parasitic and enriches themselves off cartel bribes or siphoning funds provided by the United States, like the example in the quote above. As a result, Mexico is teetering on failed state status and in some areas within its borders almost certainly has no governing power.

I was listening to an interview with a Kamala adviser this evening. The adviser/campaign person was VERY disgruntled. Said she talked to Kamala as recently as "today" (Tues) and there was "no self-reflection," no thoughts on "what went wrong."
ALSO she commented that Kamala went through not "one," but TWO billion dollars in her abbreviated campaign. The other billion came from some Super Pac. They were spending on things like $2 million for the Oprah interview, $500K to Al Sharpton's group in return for his interview of her. $450K to "PAINT HER FACE ON A SPHERE." (think, like, Epcot golfball?) Anyway, no accountability, no thought as to how to wisely spend their funds.
Her (former) staff is UPSET.
I was listening to one of the post-mortem interviews and a couple of the former Kamala staffers indicated that they knew that they needed to move to center on several issues, particularly social ones, but thought it wouldn't be credible given how far left her actual policy commitments had been.
In particular, they spent hours attempting to strategize a way to respond to the "they/them" ad but ultimately couldn't come up with anything that stuck. Also while the media was saying how terrible team Trump's strategy to get out the vote was apparently the Kamala campaign staffers were completely clueless as to how to slow it down.

Mara was sold a bag of beans. Copying Buffalo’s front office arrangement, with two inexperienced characters. Wow. I blame Mara for that, and the GM and HC for not making it work.
Mara needs a president to make those decisions. He’s too close to the fire. His opinions should filter through the president, to the GM and HC.
There's an article this week, I think in The Athletic, that essentially asks the question "aside from reputation, what's the actual difference between the Jets and the Giants since Tom Coughlin left?"
What, indeed.

"Christmas Wrapping" by The Waitresses.
The release of that song was basically 9/11 for me as a retail worker during November/December.

The whole point is for the communists to undermine the most basic reality that humans have understood since the dawn of our species. If they can do that then they can get you to believe anything at all.
Useful idiots are forever gone of course, but the rest of us must not give a nanometer on this issue.
Unfortunately for Nancy, Congress decided in 1964 that men could use women's bathrooms.
Fortunately for Nancy, with a Republican Congress and White House, she has a better chance than ever at speaking out against that 1964 act and introducing legislation to wipe it away. But that would require the courage of conviction that is generally absent from women, another reason why they should not be in government.

He did better under every metric used to determine these numbers.Except for the metrics that would tell us how much he crippled ERO in his final years there bottoming out at a drop of about 50% in removals from 2008 to 2016.

Obama deported more people than Trump. MAGA is brainwashed. Look it up.
On a per year basis no, he didn't. I know what number you're citing and the books have been cooked. Return is not the same as removal.

The inevitable inflation that will follow. That's what this election was all about. Now Trump is going to show that that lesson went right over his cloudy head.
Yeah, those housing and transport costs should go way up with 30 million fewer people around.

work Christmas parties.........love em or hate em?
in Off the Wall

The only work Christmas parties I ever went to were the ones my unit in children's services had. Eight of us, plus any spouses that wanted to subject themselves to the particular brand of humor CPS investigators tend to exhibit among themselves when inebriated. Supervisor paid for everything. I drank a lot more back then so any chance at free booze I jumped at. We pooled our money and bought the supervisor scratchers for Christmas and we'd make a game of trying to pay the tab with them. 2/3 years he was successful in covering the whole tab - typically low four figures - with the scratch-off winnings.
