  1. He can talk a good game, but we're still going to end up owning nothing and eating bugs if he gets his way.
  2. What DEI card? Unlike a certain failed presidential candidate, Judge Jeanine can hold up her end of an intelligent conversation.
  3. Especially when the nearest branch is a 40+ hour R/T flight from where I sleep. It doesn't seem like sound economics to spend that much time and thousands of dollars to deal with a payment problem. Unless it's a real whopper.
  4. Probably an insensitive question, but I wonder if they were .22 or .223? Either way, shooting an elephant with one or the other is just plain cruel. .223 on the left, .22 on the right.
  5. I wonder what their motive is? Well, not really. It seems pretty clear...
  6. I don't know. Bondi referred it to the Northern District of New York. Apparently, that's a different kettle of fish than the SDNY. Who would have definitely covered for her under their Orange Man Bad guidelines.
  7. She's kind of fun to watch on Fox. She certainly has strong opinions and likes to share them. I don't think she'll put up with any dual standards of justice like we keep kept seeing.
  8. Maybe not. The NY Dems inserted a clause that would use taxpayer money to fund her defense. Of course, just like the "Get Trump" Me Too suspension of the statutes of limitation on sexual assault lawsuits (that closed soon after Trump's suit), it doesn't mention her by name. But it's to benefit her. And anyone else prosecuted during Trump's term apparently. In the state budget being voted on this week, Democratic leaders inserted a $10 million fund that could be used by James or other state officials to cover legal fees for actions taken against them by the Trump administration. Republican lawmakers are expected to contest the addition of that money in the state budget and have noted that, in James' case, the property transactions under investigation were personal dealings and not related to her public office. FBI opens formal investigation of NY Attorney General Letitia James https://www.timesunion.com/ (The story is also in the NYP and some of the wingnut sites) If you're a Dem, you may not be above the law, but the taxpayers will probably have to pay for your defense.
  9. I hope they called Tony from lcsign.com. He's a hoot, and he's getting a lot of attention on YouTube. He sells LED signs. Search YouTube for "Tony LC Signs"
  10. Just 6 or 7 months after the election. That would have been handy info for an informed electorate, eh? Had that happened on Trump's watch, I guaranty that all the MSM reporters assigned to cover the Pentagon would have had and published that information on the day. But they were curiously uncurious when Biden was in office... Why is that, you figure?
  11. Biden’s Gaza pier injured far more troops than previously known More than 60 service members were injured as a part of former President Joe Biden’s floating aid pier in Gaza, a Pentagon Inspector General report published on Tuesday said, a number significantly higher than had been previously disclosed. The pier, announced by Biden during a televised address to Congress in March 2024, was a massive endeavor that took about 1,000 U.S. forces to execute. The fact that it happened is excusable. The cover up? Not so much. That would have been a handy piece of information for the voters to have. Even at 30% trust in the MSM and the Dems, that's too much. www.reuters.com https://www.reuters.com/world/bidens-gaza-pier-injured-far-more-troops-than-previously-known-2025-05-07/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=twitter
  12. I wonder if they'll be like little kids that will eventually quit whining and fall asleep when they don't get their way.
  13. She should be along soon. Meanwhile, you may want to use the forum search function because this has been discussed in the past. You may get more info from that than you would from a new thread. Not that I object to new threads because things do change. But eventually, posters (myself included) get tired of posting the same info again and again.
  14. What I took from the article is that they're going to negotiate a higher price for the power and resume the project. Possibly with more taxpayer subsidies on the front end.
  15. From the OP photo, it looks like he's wondering if it really has a mushroom tip.
  16. There's also news on the interwebs about something nasty going around Russia and that seems to be driving an increase in mask use. At least here in China. I haven't seen the news myself, but my local GF has warned me to wear a mask if I may encounter any Russkies.
  17. Nah. It'll be fine. (Fans of The Critical Drinker on YouTube may get the reference. I wish I could do it in his drunk accent, but I'm not in his same league. He does hilarious movie reviews.)
  18. I may well be wrong but I would have to disagree that Skype was in any way a similar "competitor" to Microsoft at that time - and certainly not a rival - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedy2ygy50do Remember Microsoft bought it from basically private equity owners (ebay still had a 30% stake). Which brings it back around to why Microsoft may regret this move and pissing away the goodwill of millions of Skype users. Politicians are people, too. And a lot of them are hearing from friends and family about the Skype debacle. Meta's in the hotseat for transactions they did over 10 years ago. Not hard to imagine more political pressure to do the same to Microsoft for the Skype transaction of over 10 years ago. They have an OS, a software suite (Office), Edge, and now a communications suite. They may even be forced to divest Teams or... or... Personally, I think they should have sold Skype. Not killed it. They're going to end up regretting the scrutiny that decision will bring down on them.
  19. Translation: Ørsted wanted a higher guaranteed price for their electricity and we're going to cave. Everyone that wants to stay warm in the winter will just have to suck it up, have less fun, and eat less to pay for it.
  20. I don't know about never, but at least not until they purge their crazies who seem to have taken over the party.
  21. Wow. If the war starts between Pakistan and India, it looks like it'll also be fought on the streets of London. With London natives getting caught in the crossfire. But diversity is our strength!
  22. And if funding them wasn't enough, lying under oath claiming that he didn't should get him prison.
