This is from the NIL/transfer portal has really helped file. Those who lived through the battles from the Big East during a bulk of the 1980's, it was quite a time to be a hoops fan. Even with the introduction of the 3-point shot in 1986-1987, that was a game changing moment. Show some perspective.

โ€œThe frankness and the opennessโ€ฆโ€ (checks notes)
Left on the cutting room floor in favor of another parody ad on SNL.

And we all thought last week's press briefing was bad enough (thanks to Ashley Padilla's excellent impersonation), SNL writers will have more than enough material to last at least three years, if not more.

Mary has the right to ask the question. Personally, I felt that I was watching a horror movie in realtime.
Stand up for truth.๐Ÿ‘

This should remind some about similar questions asked by Norah Oโ€™Donnell on โ€œ60 Minutesโ€.
The full 75 minute interview is really head rolling, nearly similar to that of Bev Turner.
CBS even has a transcript if anyone doesnโ€™t have time to watch the full interview, rather than the short 15 minute clip

I feel that there will be many heads rolling, even if the deadlines are met by the DOJ. Even if Congress decides to sue, there will be some major fireworks. Folks, we are in uncharted territory.

This is 1 million times greater than Watergate. If anyone recalls that horrible period (the 18 1/2 minute gap still sticks out), that Congress came oh so close to impeaching Nixon before he resigned. Bottom line, this scandal is next level.

Perfume, cologne--even sprayed on your arm, very nasty smells.๐Ÿคฎ I couldn't wait to get out of that section of Macy's back in the 2010's. The woman I dealt with that day was very nice, so at least I was able to breathe some nice outside air to make up the difference.

First, it was schools getting rid of penmanship and this--two words I can safely say, it's ugly.

Wonder what possible SNL material will come out Karoline's press conference.

Very descriptive read, especially from one of the first social networking sites. Top 8 Friends, I remember it well.

Please continue to spread the word and who should ultimately be held fully accountable.

We are entering uncharted territory. They know that if the DOJ redacts anything, they have to report it within 15 days. Otherwise, Congress can sue and in our dreams, hopefully we can hear the news that many people who refused to comply should all end up in jail. No ifs, and's, or but's.

20.11.2025 00:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

All records, redacted or not have to be inserted into the Federal Register. The DOJ has 15 days to report any redactions to Congress. If the DOJ does not meet the 30 day deadline without redacting anything, Congress can sue. Then the real fireworks could happen--hopefully in realtime.

Hope this answers everyone's questions.
Bottom line, I wouldn't be surprised if anyone ends up in jail (and we all can figure out who might be first, second, third to take the fall.)

It was probably shipped by courier, or maybe on horseback.

Mid afternoon tip to start on the Monday of Turkey week, very convenient. The other games a bit on the later side. But who really wants to watch Chaminade (a Division Two school) lose by 40 every year?

I hear you. I used to lift full U-Haul boxes with little difficulty. Not anymore, since I usually ask for reliable help.

If anyone saw the interviews with Kaitlin Collins and Jen Psaki, three members of Congress said that there are "more documents" coming. Even if the DOJ withholds anything, it has to be indexed, published in the Federal Register, and submitted to Congress with an explanation. If not, Congress can sue

There goes all the 99 cent prices in every grocery store, Wal-Mart, Costco, Sam's Club, and discount store in the country. At least, those who purchase things on Amazon, eBay, and other online/brick-and-mortar stores shouldn't notice a thing.

Ari isn't the only OF model making incredible amounts of money. There are hundreds, if not thousands of them. The bigger question then becomes, how much is too much?

Meanwhile...in another horror movie scene, network reporters are staring stonefaced. Are most of our "journalists" scared to ask the questions WE THE PUBLIC should know, to hold The President I Refuse To Name accountable. Has it gotten this low, that other countries continue to laugh at us?

No wonder many tech companies are infiltrating our email inboxes--major moves by AI, ChatGPT,hopefully for those eager to learn life's burning questions. (I recall Ask Jeeves.)
Remember we had dictionaries, a thesaurus, and there were even handbooks telling us every position in government.

Talk about a free-for-all. Could you imagine this with three defensive players in baseball, when a ball that ends up fair--and the ball rolls around while the batter circles the bases for an inside-the-park home run. The end result is the right fielder hitting one cutoff man, but not to home plate.
