    @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.

    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'd be surprised if the litigation regarding this wasn't more than the amount of restitution requested.

    Did not really talk about the heart of the question. A San Jose State women’s volleyball player is eligible to play in her conference tournament this week, a federal judge in Denver ruled Monday, despite complaints from competitors who object to her participation on the grounds that she is transgender. and In his 28-page ruling, Crews hardly addressed the alleged fairness and safety issues raised by San Jose State co-captain Brooke Slusser and other Mountain West women’s volleyball players. Crews instead focused on the timing of the plaintiffs’ complaint, filed less than two weeks before the Mountain West tournament was slated to begin this Wednesday in Las Vegas. The Mountain West’s transgender participation policy has been in place since 2022 and all teams were made aware of it, Crews noted. The judge argued that the plaintiffs “could have have sought injunctive relief much earlier” since they’ve been aware of San Jose State’s alleged transgender player for months. “The Court finds the movants’ delay was not reasonable,” Crews wrote. “There is no evidence to suggest they were precluded from seeking emergency relief earlier, and the rush to litigate these complex issues now over a mandatory injunction places a heavy lift on the MWC at the eleventh hour.” https://www.yahoo.com/sports/transgender-volleyball-controversy-judge-rules-san-jose-state-womens-volleyball-player-eligible-to-play-in-conference-tournament-004235078.html

    The story doesn't mention that they found a big stack of bills many years later in the area, that were definitively part of Cooper's haul. It seems unlikely that he survived the jump, but left some of the money behind. These sorts of retconned narratives to establish the identity of some mysterious person, often exist for multiple people. There have been books written about multiple people being DB Cooper, and I'm sure they are all convincing in their own way. The most interesting part to me is how it is possible to craft a convincing narrative to establish something that isn't actually true. There are lots of similar narratives around the zodiac killer's identity.
