The Frankish Reich

Kim Kardashian has 73 MILLION Twitter followers. So obviously she is right about those fake moon landings.

Youngkin was in Iowa while his Lt. Gov Winsome was in freefall.

No, they don't have a right to coordinate a sick-out. The government will pay them, and pay them quite handsomely. Actually ... yes. The costs should be on the airlines, and of course those costs will be passed onto the passengers. It's a user fee. We have them for all kinds of things.

And Second Chance gored his owner right in the nuts.

Something very tommy eyerolls about him. This "unseen" is probably the dumbest commenter on Supreme Court matters I've ever, umm, seen. Yes the word "tariff" is different than the word "regulate." That's kind of what the law is all about, the meaning of a word used here and not used there.

And Mathis is a true Phidarian.

That was the only thing missing from the "Lose on Purpose Now" thread.

I love that our "Wolfgang" finds the Federalist Papers laughable. What a great American.

I know, maybe your buddies can start talking about Ray Epps again! Try that one first. Unsolicited advice: move on, talk about what people in 2025 care about. Or wait for the real course correction a year from now.

Obviously we have a coordinated sick-out among air traffic controllers. In other words, a mini-strike. This is where we see the difference between a Reagan and a Trump. Reagan dealt with an illegal strike by firing the strikers. Trump has Duffy issue tepid warnings to the absent controllers. For all his bluster, he is not about to take the risk of causing Americans to miss their flights.

Of course I'm not supporting his agenda. I would've held my nose and voted for Cuomo. Again, look at De Blasio and then at Mamdani. They are the same. NY survived one, it'll survive the other. Some day sanity will return to our politics. I doubt I'll live to see it, but ... someday.

The electorate is constantly in flux. And so it has always been in NYC, which would of course be a Dutch island like Curacao if it hadn't been. Big influxes of Eastern European Jews, Catholic Irish and Italians, Puerto Ricans, not to mention southern blacks and New England bankers. You may have a point that we should look at naturalization laws ... are they too lax? Do they allow too many people to become U.S. citizens too quickly? I'm actually kind of mystified by how much time we spend on birthright citizenship (which is in the constitution) vs. naturalization, which is expressly a power of Congress to change as they see fit.

Yes, I am. I am just responding to your suggestion that Musk has fully retreated from the political arena. Because obviously he's not.

I worry most about public safety. NY will always be left of center as far as most policies go. But the difference between Giuliani (before senility) and Bloomberg vs. Dinkins and De Blasio and (I fear) Mamdani is pretty stark. That's where the mayor makes an on-the-ground difference.
