Ew.

Yes. And he was raised here, near the old Crosley Field.

@jon-nyc said in 18 People Looking for a New Job: My best guess is they end up, after a lot of drama, with more or less the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta. Take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors. The bulk of these devastating cuts to SNAP and Medicaid could be avoided if they limited the 2017 tax cut extension to those making under $400k. Tax cuts for the wealthy are why we’re here.

Also, you might want to tune into Youtuber James Hoffmann a World Barista Champion who has a wonderful site about expresso and it's associated equipment.

Agreed. Symbolic at best and not an attractive symbol.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he's ending all trade discussions with Canada to hit back at Ottawa for slapping a tax on web giants — and he wants it removed before negotiations can begin again. Canada and the U.S. have been locked in talks to get Trump to lift his punishing tariffs on Canadian goods, levies that have already led to major economic dislocations, job losses and a drop in southbound exports. Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney agreed at the G7 last week to reach some agreement on the trade dispute within 30 days. Speaking in the Oval Office on Friday afternoon, Trump said the U.S. has "such power over Canada," and that he's upset the country is following a taxation strategy similar to Europe's. "It's not going to work out well for Canada. They were foolish to do it," he said of imposing the DST, which was passed into law last year with a delayed application. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-terminating-trade-discussions-canada-1.7572964

https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a884_new_5426.pdf I think this was original about birthright citizenship, but this decision does not say anything about it - only that a federal court cannot form an injunction against the whole nation Because universal injunctions likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts, the Court grants the Government’s applications for a partial stay of the injunctions entered below regarding the implementation and enforcement of President Trump’s Executive Order No. 14160, but only to the extent that the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to each plaintiff with standing to sue.

The meme is the Mayor of Amityville, in the movie 'Jaws', telling the townspeople that the beach is safe, despite the huge predator shark. It's comparing that to Trump saying 'we obliterated their nuclear program' when there's some doubt that that actually happened.

lol.

I can imagine your surprise. lol

Interesting. Following Brexit, we moved most of our European operations out of London and into Luxembourg. This was odd, because I was told that Brexit was going to make the UK more business friendly and competitive due to blahblahblahblahblah.

Moyers was ordained as a Baptist minister already by then. What an interesting life.

So there is such a thing as "city mouse" vs. "country mouse."

President Donald Trump's administration is planning to deport migrant Kilmar Abrego for a second time, but does not plan to send him back to El Salvador, where he was wrongly deported in March, a lawyer for the administration told a judge on Thursday. The deportation will not happen until after Abrego is tried in federal court on migrant smuggling charges, a White House spokesperson said. https://www.straitstimes.com/world/trump-administration-will-put-abrego-on-trial-before-deporting-him-again

@Doctor-Phibes said in BBC News now wants $8.99 a month for subscription.: I may end up paying, particularly if they start charging for BBC sounds, which makes my drive to work bearable. I am guessing that you are not talking about this website? 555 Many years ago, I came across this and bookmarked. Quite interesting with a lot of unusual and different sound effects. https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk for example Aircraft: Trident - Exterior. Taxi up & past.

Yes, happy birthday to you. Hope to see you back here soon!

The thing is, he still has a tremendous support with a large part of the voting population. It will be easy for them to make excuse as to justify what he said vs. what has actually happened.

That ball came uncomfortably close to that baby's head.
