    So Scaramucci was Trump’s communications director for exactly 11 days. He came in with a splash and left with one - - basically fired by a brand new chief of staff (John Kelly). His tenure was so short it became the butt of jokes and people started jokingly measuring time in ‘Scaramuccis’. Like someone else would get fired and people would joke “well he did last 17 Scaramuccis” or whatever. So it’s funny to see Scaramucci himself use the reference.

    @taiwan_girl said in "Not a single person": Wait. Do you say that a politician said something that was not quite the truth in order to get votes???? Not quite the truth? How about it Taiwan's leadership said they would fight to the death to prevent a mainland China take-over, and then let the CCP have the country the next week? Now, would that not be quite the truth, or a lie of monstrous proportions? Does "not quite the truth" equate to millions of people losing their healthcare and unable to see doctors they've seen for decades?

    Years ago the Air Force started taking their best pilots out of airplanes and had them fly drones. Wait until the POC find out what the privileged are up to.

  • Fastest Growing Industry in the US?

    @Klaus said in Fastest Growing Industry in the US?: Shouldn't there be some tiny, completely new industry on #1? If an industry made $0 last year and $1 this year, it's still infinite growth. That goes back to my original thought regarding Biden’s repeated claim about it wind and solar being the fastest growing industries... Typically the fastest growing are the smallest, not the largest. I wasn’t intending to dispute him about whether it was the fastest growing, but I just wanted to get the context. The context ended up being he was wrong...

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Because you need this: Are they the kind of frogs that widen your pupils if you lick them? Nah, they're the kind that like to sit in my hand, or be petted through the screen on their froggo house. The froggos still surprise me with their behaviors.  They're more social than I ever thought possible. I have two in the group that I call The Puppies. An example: Before I went upstairs to watch shows tonight, I checked on the froggos one more time.  One of the puppies was near their pond, at the bottom of their house, and he came hopping over to the rim of the plant pot that's the base of their house, and stood up on his hind legs. I could pet his head just a little with the screen between us, and then he crawled up to the rim of the pot so I could pet his entire side through the screen.. The puppy frogs love to be petted. Another example: Once in a while a froggie will get in a precarious situation,  unable to get a grip on the usual supports.  If it looks like the froggie could fall a long way and possibly get hurt, I open the screen seam, stick my hand under its legs or butt, and help it back up to a safe spot. Almost every time, the froggie decides it would be nice to just be held for a while,  even when the house is plenty warm. I  try to put it back on a sturdy leaf, and the froggie says, "No, thank you. I stay in hand,  please." They snuggle into my palm, get into their little Buddha pose, and go for a siesta. To heck with my chores or schedule, it's froggo's nap time! If I hold my hand by the leaf a frog is perched on, most times it will just walk right into my palm. I am amazed they are so social. They're starting to trill now. Three of them are able to trill, and a fourth one is trying. I can hardly wait for them to trill for me at random times. It's so great to hear, and when one starts, the others trill back. It's a wonderful sound.

    The story could have legs. WSJ has an opinion piece on it (interesting no actual news story based on the texts received from Bobulisnki). https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-biden-family-legacy-11603409528 Also - it's clear from this that the deal with Bobulinski did not happen. So he was not the CEO of a $10M investment fund. That deal fell through. So he's stretching what he's saying in the video a bit. Also - the deal fell through in 2017. So, Joe wasn't in office at the time. Feels relevant - even if everything this guy is saying is bang on, at worse Joe is doing deals with China state entities after leaving office. Still, interesting to see how this develops. Hunter seems like a mess.
