@LuFins-Dad said in Rob Reiner dead???: You hear it all the time… He’s not the over the top buffoon in private. I’ll point back to Bill Maher and his dinner with Trump as just one example. It serves his interests to be over the top so he is. It's just as simple an answer that he can act cordial one-on-one when it serves him to. Anyway the "reality" of a person is a nebulous and near meaningless concept, a story we tell ourselves. Whatever someone is, is what they do. Not in just certain situations, but in all situations, in aggregate. It's complicated.

Looks good.

@Mik Well if that’s the case…. Link to video

It's not legal and it won't happen. And most of Trump's pure idiocy will go away with him. I am not concerned by post-trump "Maga", whatever that will mean. I'm just not seeing the crazy in people like Vance or Rubio.

At least my mortgage, which I thought was super high at the time, is still lower than I could refinance for today.

Finally got the car back this morning, the warranty provider approved the repair at the dealership. That’s impressive, as the repair will cost 40% of the purchase price of the vehicle. I honestly wouldn’t have expected they would do so. So I took it to the dealership, and they are telling me it can take up to two weeks…Ugh, And that’s taking it past the guaranteed return date. So there’s a very real chance that I might be exchanging/returning the car.

@LuFins-Dad said in Made in America Gift Guide: Nothing says “I don’t love you as much as I pretend to” like buying shitty American made crap. Imagine getting a Trump fungible for Christmas. Looking on the bright side, no jury would convict.
