The Frankish Reich

Some things don't go away. It takes them a while to bubble up in public consciousness, but they don't go away. We understand there's a video of him taking the cash. That video will surface. Note that Homan himself did not repeat the Leavitt talking point that he didn't take the money ...

Here come the FAA sickouts. Burbank first. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-10-06/burbank-airport-air-traffic-control-tower-temporarily-unmanned-amid-government-shutdown Will they deny it's a sickout? Of course. Is it a sickout? Of course it is. Can they prove it's a sickout? No, not unless they controllers were stupid enough to send emails over official channels or post something calling for a sickout, etc.

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/5542714-bondi-bribery-allegations-trump-border-czar/ NBC News: there's video of Homan taking the Cava bag full of $50,000 cash. Karoline Leavitt: Your facts are wrong, he never took the cash. Question to Pam Bondi: Did he take the cash? Answer from Pam Bondi: The investigation is closed. Question: so where is the cash? Answer: the investigation is closed (Bondi will not repeat the "he didn't take the cash" talking point)

It was just locker room talk.

This one is not arguable: a weak dollar is our policy. And it is happening.

Well, not everything, since the Chiefs had a couple of key penalty calls against them in the 4th. I actually thought that was a good sign the Chiefs Privilege was starting to fade.

Ted Cruz's father and Oswald will be back. I sense Teddy is Ready for a 2028 run.

Surprised by the whole Sanchez Rage thing. Shocked by how many TBD posters are living the White Lotus life.

You can do better. Remember, Be Best!

Nice work! But it kind of reminds me of the bad old days where Bill from NYC would have to go digging for positives like "I don't care what anyone says, Da'Norris Searcy is a good player."

Can you not see how silly all of this is? "Narrative control" on the tiny backwater of a football fan forum? So let's create a dozen new topics with decoder ring titles like "Bills Lander in Limbo: Commie Say What? Yeah, that'll reclaim this uber-important narrative.

Well, if I'm the enemy I'm a helluva lot more scared of the Darth Vader on the left than the Charlie Kirk on the right.

Thank you. From now on, it's Giant Douche Canoe.

This appears to be misdirected. I will try to forward it to Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff.

Giant Douche Canoe.

It would have passed with support from Trump.

You usually don't get the Nobel Peace Prize after one side has been bombed to smithereens. People can argue till the cows come home about whether we should've dropped the bombs on Japan, but one thing we know is that Truman wasn't a Nobel winner.

With his arm, size, and intensity I'd say the guy could've been a MLB quality pitcher. But baseball is probably the most difficult sport to project; at a minimum, it would have taken a full-time commitment. I definitely think he could have been a track and field decathlete.

What is this Project 2025 you speak of? I vaguely recall Trump saying he knew nothing about it, so I never bothered to study it.

This is one of the weirdest attempt to massage the numbers that I've ever seen ... The real numbers, unmassaged: https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/donald-trump-approval-rating-polls.html

Heat pumps are great ... in the right climate. It just won't work for me in Colorado, or in Northern NYS. Probably Buffalo is marginal? It doesn't get as cold thanks to the damn lake effect, but it's close. So yeah, bad plan if it doesn't differentiate Lake Placid from Staten Island ...

EDIT: Does Tarheel have a trans kid who won't speak to him just like Elon Musk does? Seems personal.

By the way, silly name aside, the PELOSI Act was probably the best thing to come out the the Trump 2.0 Congress. Trump himself killed it. In this age of index fund dominance, I see no reason why members of Congress or Administration officials should be trading individual stocks. You trade individual stocks if you believe you have better information about that company than the "wisdom of the crowd." And if you are in Congress or a senior government official, that "better information" is almost always because you have advance information about the regulatory state. Telling that Trump hated it and whiffed on this attempt to end corruption in government AND to troll Pelosi at the same time.
