The Frankish Reich

You mean she might be her? I make sure to get my news from Based Savannah and that 2010 version of Charlie Kirk. The one who cries about going blind and all that.

"We cannot stand by" means that we're pretty much just standing by.

Even setting aside the unsavory players here, any parent who o.k.'s this kind of thing for their 14 year old daughter is a creeper.

Well, no, but if he wanted to protect his legacy, he needed to work a little harder. It's more like he didn't want the taint of his loser Lt Gov to rub off on him. Not exactly a team player.

She seems like your standard issue VP candidate. Good resume, won't upstage the top of the ticket, helps the Dems with the diversity thing, certainly holds her own in a debate.

Ted Cruz, too long-winded? Say it ain't so! The point: Cruz didn't do a basic cross-examination of Comey. He pontificated, as usual, and so the evidence of perjury (a direct, provable lie in response to a direct, unambiguous question) isn't there.

Right. People are exhausted by the MAGA consultants' attempts to keep this culture war stuff alive. And it is showing in the elections.

I think that's still what they're trying to prove. I see we are now in the "gait analysis" phase of these basement investigators. After all, some chick named Savannah says "she might be her." "She might be her." Let that sink in.

I'm afraid that's just plain wrong.

Yep, it's sad, because these kids did everything right. We told them that computer science was the future, and now AI is pulling the rug out on them. I told my kids the same thing, and I'm feeling kind of fortunate that they ignored my advice and wound up in fields that aren't impacted. At least "aren't impacted yet ..."

It is the same case as Biden's student loan forgiveness case (which the Supreme Court shot down), just with the political roles reversed. That decision was correct.

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.
