They’re just out there destroying all ethical restraints in our government.

15 1/2, if you’re referring to the Republican Party generally.

You’re posting this to enrage us all

Ref gets a award too

Seriously, the level of difficulty, the stakes, etc.

It’s not anything close to a plan. It’s the village idiot who has participated in healthcare policy discussions from time to time over the last decade who understood and absorbed at most 10% of what was discussed and now has worse than zero understanding of the issue.

Bills are usually due 8/1, so Dec 15 is 4 1/2 months late. County will collect nearly $9 billion. What is the interest rate on that money? $9 billion at 3% interest for 4.5 months is $100 million.

Just in an emergency. Which we are in - right now. When will we not be in an emergency, you might ask? When Trump says we’re not.

Maybe. I’d love to grill an analyst who just raised the price target from $350 a share to $460 per share, both of which are insane. What I don’t get is why anyone holding the stock doesn’t just sell right now? Why stick around to vote for his pay package, or anything else?

I can’t agree with you that the mythology has worn off with the current stock price. The “Elon Mythology” is responsible for at least 85% of the $1.5 trillion $TSLA valuation. More than any human at any point in business history, right now, based on what I agree is a total myth.

Stirtz played 39.4 minutes per game last year!

$10,000 per day is $3.65 million per year, which is the salary of 20 people at the rate of $180,000 per year. For a news editor. How is that possible?

Yes, and also he can’t be confronted with bad facts like ICE overreach or increasing prices or declining polls because he will simply refuse to believe them.

A resistance lib has penetrated their headline writing department and I’m here for it.

This is correct. The thing I’ve always wondered about Douthat, is that has anyone ever truly cared what he said or wrote about anything? (Aside from his role as a writer in elite publications). Would the NYT lose a single subscriber if he left? Would any publication gain a subscriber if he joined?

I think Hegseth figures that there is no point in being Secretary of Defense (War) unless he leads the military into a war that kills a lot of non-white people and takes a lot of another country's resources.

I see what you did there.

Your analysis of the domestic political situation is correct.

Anything preemptive requires a self defense component otherwise it’s totally unconstitutional.

Ok thanks.

Interesting. I live in the south loop, but I’m curious- why would this also be good news for downstate?

My sign at No Kings:

Donald the Dove.

Totally illegal, unconstitutional and an impeachable offense.

I generally agree with a lot of your points. But I think there is an innate, dark side of human nature that wants what the John Birch society, and then Fox News, Sarah Palin, and ultimately Donald Trump are selling. Many of those types of people voted for Bill Clinton, many fewer voted for Hilary.

This is true. He also went to the center on issues that the general Republican elites never would have permitted to be official GOP positions, such as preserving entitlements, blaming Bush for his foreign policy disasters and rhetorically alluding to higher taxes on the rich.

I'm in favor of movements to make the Democrats better, and I'm in favor of running third party candidates who can win when the Democrat is lousy. I'm also against what Ralph Nader did in 2000 when he said there was no difference between Bush and Gore and 97,421 voters in Florida agreed.

Because, intentional or not, her primary role in politics over the last decade has been to show up in an election year, convince gullible and naive leftists to not vote for the Democratic candidate with a chance to actually beat Trump. And also raise millions for a pointless recount in Wisconsin.

I can believe it, but I can’t believe it. It’s so insane.

NVDA is the company that is making an insane amount of money supporting companies in a 21st century gold rush. But like the California gold rush of the 1840s, it can’t go on forever, and most of those out looking for gold won’t find it.
