    Crenshaw in particular is an absolute poser. Seal or not, that guy is a poser.

    Maybe he assumed they were too incompetent to ever figure it out no matter how obvious it was.

Muto held separate talks with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in Washington, two days before Trump's 25 percent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports are due to take effect.

    As for him, let him apply to enter legally (an option since voluntarily self deported). May his wait be short.

    @Horace said in Pick fights with allies, signal weakness to adversaries: Just indefensible to appoint that guy to anything. I read that this was actually Rubio's appointment. https://x.com/kfile/status/1899074764775231899?s=46

    @taiwan_girl said in Watcha drinking?: LOL. That is what they told me it was, and the menu told me. 555. More than one, and I probably would have been spinning. Ketel One Vodka, Ginger Beer, Lime Juice, Mint, Lime Wedge. https://www.mazzarobkk.com/_files/ugd/0a0dc1_d356de071c47476aaa0780cc644c8ee1.pdf?index=true Yup! That's the right recipe. My favorite is Ketel One as well.

    His employees — an interconnected web of bellboys, cleaners, waitstaff, supervisors — are in constant communication about guest movements to anticipate their needs or simply to greet them by name (“guest-name use is key”). “You are on permanent surveillance,” says Schneider, fixing me with his unwavering, ice-blue stare. “Whatever you say, whatever you do will be observed. And judged.” Sounds relaxing!

    No, but I went to college there. My parents lived there from 86 to 2008-9 so they were there during my college years (I graduated high school in 86)
