@jon-nyc said in Looks like my kid is getting married earlier than I expected…: Dude have the talk and buy him some condoms. Are you kidding? With what’s happened to my 401K this week, I need 4 grandkids working at that t-shirt factory they are opening in Woodbridge next year ASAP to cover my Social Security…

Yeah, this is all negotiation tactics.

@Tom-K The perennial optimist you are.

It would be more useful if it didn’t mix US and Canada but interesting all the same. [image: 1743873447492-img_3950.jpeg]

I think with the end of ranked choice voting in Alaska, Murkowski is toast. Collins does what she has to do in a purplish-blue state.

No one here is pinning any hope on it. We do however appreciate the symbolic gesture and will make note of which Republicans in particular supported it.

So his own number landed at about $140B. Let's say the real banked savings is $100B - not bad, it's something. It's not going to save the republic. Way outsized coverage vs. impact. On the actual budget process - way under coverage vs. impact.

I am not looking forward to the copycat thread…

Boy meets girl, girl turns out to be a boy, boy turns out to be a girl, boy loses mind, girl doesn't mind, lots of explosions, turns out it was all a crazy dream and they're all part of some dystopian future where humans are batteries. I think I could be a screenwriter.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Confirmed: @Tom-K said in Confirmed: He was named after Mehmed the Conqueror.* Interesting. I'd assumed he was named after the character in the Judy Garland movie. You can just imagine RFK,Jr. at some sort of Senate inquiry about Medicare saying: "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
