If Kamala won't go to the border, then the border will go to Kamala.

@mark said in My next piano??:

vastly preferred the Yamaha P515/525 series build, pedals and action.

The 525 is on sale at Sweetwater for $1,599

The 525 is on sale at Sam Ash for $129 (including keyboard stickers)

Sam Ash has a clearance sale going on, but still, this is too low. I was looking for a violin there, crazy prices for that too.

I'm missing something here.

EDIT...

That appears to be a scam, too good to be true

This isn’t helping

And it's Jon's nightmare that by that time he'll be humming Hail to the Chief, after attending Trump's Inauguration Ball.

Hope he has a good time. I suspect Jon can acquit himself well on the ballroom floor...

She must also forfeit $11 billion.

How much does she have left after that, I wonder. Anything?

“the government found no evidence that Ellison enjoyed the wealth generated by the fraud,” prosecutors wrote.

Oh, how did she get that $11 billion?

Also, P-Diddy and Bankman-Fried are sharing a "common location" in the dormitory-style prison.

So, there's that. I guess.

That's what Mrs. George calls them.

She was a lot more adventurous than I.

Those are great. Love the collective nouns in particular.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has raised $3.2 milliom in her first quarter as a first-year House Representative, a historical record (yes, exceeded even AOC’s first year, first quarter record). Greene’s staff further highlighted that 98% of donations are less than $200 a piece.

All of them were opinion pieces in the second group.

Possible that he only received the promotion in the past couple of years.

Happy to learn that some British ordinance was put to good use in thinning out the Russian upper ranks.

Truth.

It used to be common to put politicians on.

@jon-nyc it’s reasonable to conclude that in isolation Trump’s unprovable allegations of election fraud are a worse precedent than electors abusing faithlessness to express their affiliation with a pop culture mob of hatred against the winner of the election. I did not bring the example up in the hopes of drawing an equivalence between the two, but rather to present an example of something ignored and memory holed - to the extent few people even knew of the scheme - in service of the widespread mindlessly destructive social idea know as TDS. All that said, I do not anticipate claims of election fraud to be as big a thing going forward as they are with Trump. This is an unfortunate bump in the road, a predictable one upon his defeat. You give him more credit than I do if you think the example he is setting, which will fail and which would cost a more normative person reputation, will lead future politicians to follow suit. You can feel free to say I told you so in 4 years as we see how the next loser handles their loss.

It was sitting out there, just a fat slow pitch…
