@jon-nyc said in Another betting opportunity…: Has anyone reported on this that was interested in understanding why, as opposed to supporting someone’s pre-existing narrative? Mail in ballots are huge there, and those ballots have to be hand-processed, with the signatures compared, apparently by a human, for authenticity. That is what I've read.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The thread in which Jon compliments a tariff idea of Donald J Trump: Wonderful, but probably not a perfect conversation. That would have come with a happy ending for all those concerned. Yeah. He probably ... ahem... blew that load on a perfect conversation in 2017 or so.

Re-reading the original post, it looks like SCOTUS said that the Border Patrol may remove the razor wire. That's not the same, by any legal stretch, the same as shall remove the razor wire. Am I reading that right?

@LuFins-Dad said in DOGE's Return To Office Plan for Government Workers: @Axtremus said in DOGE's Return To Office Plan for Government Workers: You should care about their opinions about who they work for. Enough of them have to truly believe that they ultimately work for the people for us to maintain a democratic republic. Else you devolve into some form of autocracy. Welcome to MAGA. He said ‘the people’, not ‘the whims of one man’. ‘

@Axtremus said in 22 Obsolete skills: #21 for @kluurs I just ordered some CDs this morning. I'm telling you - CDs coming back. You watch and see. Nothing like putting those little discs in the drawer and listening to that thing spin. You'll regret not keeping yours. The 80s were a great time.

According to this guy it is. [image: 468408125_1011565624333542_132917257820311030_n.jpg?_nc_cat=1&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=cutvThFk3mEQ7kNvgFlCMT3&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fluk1-1.fna&_nc_gid=AlHY8TuU19aD4WbQXZY07x4&oh=00_AYALAOQ3-9E9Y8UjkIioFkNuQG15_5CCxWZAGMQNFcBBUw&oe=674CF299]

I'll wait for Ax's opinion before judging.

@89th That is ver cool. Does the spaceship just float there in the water until it can be recovered?

I literally get those cheech and Chong ads.

@LuFins-Dad said in Harris's message: It’s like a drunk voicemail to an ex… David Burge on X. "Absolutely, that's some deep stuff to think about, umm hey why don't you let me keep your car keys and I'll call you an Uber."

@LuFins-Dad said in Using the Military for Mass Deportations: Again, the number of deportations they have stated they are planning for are those that entered illegally since January of 2021. There will be as many migrants working the fields as there was in 2019, and that was more than sufficient then, and our population hasn’t grown that much since (except for the +10,000,000 undocumented migrants that entered since then, of course). That argument assumes no migrants who illegally entered by 2019 has left since 2021.

Those protesting him make the same comparison.

Yeah, George, I use a thermometer too. Even then there’s a learning curve in determining exactly what temperature is perfect for you.

Stuff like that makes me even more convinced to stay the course. He has decimated his military.

The ATCs brought it on themselves. Trump has always been more of a centrist and despite progressive screeching it is what we need.

I’m not a misogynist, I just like dudes.

A few doofusses taking some selfies can be devastating. But I think most have had enough time to heal.
