Have we ever officially determined whether Jon would hit that? I mean, obviously he would have if there was no Trump affiliation, but with the Trump affiliation, would Jon be able to stomach going where DJT went?

Sure. Who knows, he and I may already be dick brothers. He likes em young.

OTOH, I don't think this flop hurts Gadot at all.

A solution!

You know who I was most disappointed in? Garland. He didn't get appointed to SCOTUS, but he had a decent reputation.

Not any more. Might be judged by history as one of the most political AG's to ever hold the office.

I'm not really into the action-ey type movies. Mission Impossible? Meh...

Reacher got boring after 3 episodes.

Gimme Sandbaggers (which is fabulous, I must repeat myself), Line of Duty, etc.

Nope.

Call me a n00b but I always thought it was a limit of two terms consecutively... I didn't realize it was a total of only two terms.

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” 22nd Amendment.

Easy fix… Just make him Speaker of the house after his term, then have the duly elected President and VP step down…

Terrifying.

Alright, who has to go to jail this time to make @Horace feel safe again?

He was also Reagan’s attorney in Contragate.

Assuming he wants to be followed at BlueSky or Threads or whatever, it makes total sense to announce your departure.

To me more impressive is that they could remove his second head and he’d be fine.

“They could have asked his lawyer for any of these things. Instead, they staged a so-called raid so they can leak it to the media and use it for obvious political reasons.”

Two things wrong with that. Firstly, assuming he has committed crimes, how many people would just hand over a phone with incriminating evidence on it when given warning that the FBI wants it? I mean without cleaning it up first?

Secondly, they could leak whether they got info from a raid or from his attorney.

And now folks want to work remote...

You bet your ass.

To this day, my greatest working relationships were in restaurants. They were my co-workers, and my best friends. The servers all hated our guts and every single one of them could have been counted on to hide a body.

Lots of office cultures are very, very different. For example, Professionalism is often an umbrella term that people hide behind to act like snakes. I recently watched quite a few people lose their jobs due to layoffs. I was told not to reach out to these people, don't talk about it, don't even ask who was affected. Because Professionalism. And for those who lost their jobs, they were told not to take it personally because Professionalism. And after a week, no one mentioned them ever again because Professionalism.

So yeah. Fuck that. I appreciate that industries are very different from one another and it's probably just the nature of mine that people are assholes. But if that's the way it's going to be then give me my fucking paycheck and I'll let you know when the work's done. Otherwise no, I will be unavailable to attend the function until you all start acting like human fucking beings.

Maybe The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch crew are on to something. I generally think it and Ancient Aliens are just half baked ridiculous entertainment for male teens and under 30 adult males.

Maybe that’s not the case and….

“we are not alone…we have never been alone”.
