You know what they call a well dressed New Yorker? A mugging target. I'd rather dress like I have no money on me.

And he did his best in between unhinged impeachment attempts, Dems wanting to import millions of future blue voters, and The Squad raising money to bail out mostly peaceful looters. Does anyone here think the US is in better shape today than it was on inauguration day, 2021?

He's suffering Long Cold, from one he had in about 2019, when he took to his basement.

He didn't have to say anything. You could see it in his eyes, if only you had the syndrome too. It's a superpower, that syndrome. Allows you to read minds, rewrite the past, and tell the future.

One of the candidates wants to Make America Great Again.

I see that a scrunchy face stalker has arrived.

In another "asked and answered" thread, I had a MAGA hat made at MixT across from Chatuchuk Weekend Market. MixT is a newish mall that's worth a visit. I was mostly looking at 2nd hand cameras and saw the hat shop. It's one of those places that does embroidery while you wait. The red hat cost 199 baht and the MAGA embroidery set me back another 100 baht, for 300 baht all in. I'm going to wait until I get back home to make my own t-shirt like this: https://officialhodgetwins.com/products/when-i-die-t-shirt Even if you don't buy the merch, the Hodge Twins YouTubes are a hoot.

Newsom also insists he's not gonna run, and we all know he's lying. You can tell, because his lips are moving.

So it is based on category of work. And yes, I am just razzing you.

Making up laws to go after political opponents is hardly a legal technicality.

She was his insurance against getting impeached. Sheer genius. Evil, yes. But genius. Edit: I'd add that she's probably the reason nobody will invoke the 25th, in spite of an obvious and compelling need.

That's not what my company's HR told me. And I can't imagine an American teacher paying tax on 80K. But maybe they are...

How'za 'bout WaPo? 8. Michelle Obama This is the fantasy option for Democrats — and we mean that in more than one way. She would seem to be the ideal alternative for many, but she also seems unlikely to run. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/28/democrat-options-replace-biden/ Have a look at the Fox video referencing the 10 alternatives mentioned in the WaPo article, look at the faces, and tell me who ticks the DEI boxes, other than Kamala and Michelle? https://www.foxnews.com/video/6356008437112

It's even cringy-er. There were stairs. Even I felt bad for the guy. .

Even the Supreme Court is calling out the 2 tier justice system, contorting the laws to punish political opposition. I can hear lefty heads exploding.

By that token, isn't Biden just riding the same wave. (If you neglect the fact that the jobs he's "created" are mostly part time and for the foreign born, which aren't the jobs on which to build the American dream of home ownership)

Dems have a Kamala problem. They can't ditch her without alienating a core constituency. And there's no way she wins the election. They're gonna beg Michelle to run, for the good of the country with Newsom as her VP. She'll step aside after a year or two and Newsom will be able to serve 2-1/2 terms. That's his carrot to run as VP and not top of the ticket. Michelle may hate politics, but she loved living in the White House. (and Barak gets another term, which he'd kill for)

I'm not a Biden fan at all. In fact, just the opposite. But this morning, I felt sorry for him, suffering the elder abuse. With another twinge of sympathy watching Jill lead him off the stage. The presidential debate isn't the only thing that ended today.

She believes the whistleblower has the shipside tracker. Wouldn't it be easy to confirm that, and make a definitive statement? All she has to do is ask the FBI. Instead, she makes a weasel statement that can later give her plausible deniability if it's taken to trial. I believe... The whistleblower was under oath, pretty adamant, and a lot less weaselly. A Boeing whistleblower said there is a “criminal coverup” surrounding January’s Alaska Airlines blowout. “Records do exist documenting in detail the hectic work done on the Alaska Airlines airplane, and Boeing’s corporate leaders know it too,” Pierson said. “I know this Alaska airplane documentation exists because I personally passed it to the FBI.” (links above) So who do you believe, the guy who's definitive, under oath, and testifying under penalty of perjury, or the nice lady who claims to believe, is not under oath and isn't really sure?

Could be he was referring to the 25th Amendment, and not Project 2025.

$29 fine. That'll stop him doing it again.

It's not age. I know 90 somethings that are sharp as a tack, and 60 somethings that have already lost the plot.

Look at the photo in the OP and tell me how many people had to fall down on the job to not notice those bolts were missing. I count the insulation people, the interior trim people and probably the electrical people. All of them had an opportunity to call out the safety escape. Just the folks who covered up the area with the interior panels should have noticed that the bolts were missing. The bolts they've seen the previous 152 times they did the same work. I read the link. I understood it perfectly. And I laughed at the arrogance. If you want a good conspiracy theory, how about the whistleblower who claims that the missing documents do exist, and he handed them over to the FBI. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/boeing-critic-says-he-shared-missing-737-bolt-records-with-fbi/ar-BB1lNVB5

And he was having one of his best days.

Seriously? You'd think that any employee should stop work when they notice missing bolts that they're about to cover up with trim moulding. Like, "The past 152 times I did this work, there were bolts. This time, there aren't any. Maybe I should mention that to the safety guy before I cover it up". Not that I'd expect them to install the bolts themselves. But that they bring it up to the people responsible. Paper or no.
