Makes sense. Strange world where your gummies are legal in Massachusetts and California but if you put them in your suitcase on a Boston to SFO flight you're breaking the law.

She’s good George, damn good.

Yeah, considering this is live?

She writes a lot of her own stuff.

THat's her 4 year old daughter, Rosie in the blue shorts.

But, IMO, she's best doing this kind of stuff.

@George-K you might want to change the thread title. SCOTUS decided that CFPB's funding is constitutional after all.

Voted 7-2, with Clarence Thomas writing the majority opinion: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf/22-448_o7jp.pdf

(It is a guilty pleasure of me that I like this stuff. LOL)

@Jolly Thanks. I will watch later when I have time.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Car Seats as Contraception:

Not just the parents. When my son was about 2 and my daughter was a baby, he turned to us and said very politely and solemnly, 'I think we should take her back to the hospital now'.

A friend once told me that the # of kids parents believe would make life easy is N - 1, where N is the actual number of kids you currently have. LOL

When we told our 3 daughters that we were expecting a fourth, D1 (she was 4 at the time, iirc) said, "NO! Three is enough."

"Many chicken growers only grow for a single company" ... lack diversification.

The chicken industry might be a good match for the MIT DEI team.

Well...I get your fecal reference. 💩

Idiota

Yeah. Catsimatides has been friends with Giuliani for decades and personally asked him to stop. But he wouldn’t which gave him no choice.

One of the two major complaints that led the Biden administration to withhold offensive aid in Gaza was the lack of a plan for running Gaza afterward. (The other being inadequate plan to minimize civilian deaths in Rafah)

@Doctor-Phibes 😂

Is it me, or does the band seem not quite "together" at times? Like at 0:45...

@Jolly said in Steel Tarriff:

Personally, I look at steel, pharmaceuticals, energy and computers as strategic resources to be protected if necessary.

So, you must be quite happy with President Bidens strategies in these areas: 🤗

Steel - increased tariffs
Energy - highest oil production ever, net exporter of oil, increasing solar and wind (which reduces dependency on other (foreign) sources)
Computers - CHIP act, etc.

I disagree with selective prosecution.

https://nypost.com/2024/01/20/news/group-of-newly-arrived-migrants-allegedly-behind-string-of-burglaries-plaguing-chicago-suburb-police/

A band of newly arrived migrants who may be part of a bigger crime ring are allegedly behind a string of retail thefts and burglaries plaguing a Chicago suburb, police said.

In all, 47 migrants have been arrested since October in the village of Oak Brook, about 20 miles west of the Second City, Chief of Police Brian Strockis told Fox News, adding many of the incidents have targeted a Macy’s in the local mall.

"Peter, get the wide angle lens!'

The question is always ‘disproportionate to what?’

Their population? Wrong measure.

Their contribution to
gun violence? Yeah didn’t think so.
