πŸ’― accurate. And almost zero effort to improve this other than some small efforts ( some RTA money helps pay for some private bussing to suburban office parks) but no structural plans.

Politico, The Hill, NYT, Washington Post are basically same thing these days. I read the headlines and need to close it before I throw my device in anger.

Worked well for Russia these days. That little thing in Ukraine is going so well.

So what should Dems do? They do whatever they want, withhold money as they please, fire ppl who criticize or don’t promote anything he admin. If they cave, won’t the admin just fire ppl anyway? What’s stopping them.

@lakesuperior.bsky.social , you’re showing everyone up last night. Beautiful picture and sunset.

It really is. They literally sell everything electronic/ white goods/ home related. But don’t visit the high end kitchen area. Custom appliances prices that are truly another, parallel universe.

It is an amazing mall, and they have great customer service even when you are getting the budget friendly items.

@lakemichigan13.bsky.social you are looking especially beautiful this morning.

Law enforcement’s whole approach has been a shambolic mess. Claimed they had someone, nope, someone else , nope again. Maybe he is local and he gets caught, but is it even believable at this point? Pres speech last night just adds to conspiracy vibes.

With the bad job # this week + talk of stagflation, I looked at Fed Fund rates back in the 1900s. The rate was at 4.13% in 1967 and didn’t get below that until 1992, with 2 big spikes ( once 18% in early 1980s). Doesn’t bode well going forward.

They shall not grow old
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will remember Them. πŸ™

If it’s private convo, why are you talking about it on public transit?

Yes, a white squillionaire Trump supporter knows what the victims want, of course. Why even invite him on, so we can have the 1990s era perspective?

I doubt it takes that long. Probably in time for the new year.

ICE gets more money than the Marines in the β€œBig Beautiful Bill”.

Which war are they fighting?

You do the math.

The camps aren’t just for β€œillegals” and their wars aren’t all abroad.

You and I are on the menu.

Time to wake up.

I hope you’re correct, but seems like GOP senators like them continue to be re elected. Maybe 1-2 lose at the polls but only if primaried by a farther right candidate.

I can’t believe ( well I can , payoffs to SCOTUS judges) that political gerrymandering is legal. And resistive mid decade, again, so corrupt.

This is terrible + now the admin is looking to remove restrictions on asbestos, as well. Seems like a feature and not a coincidence. β€œGood” jobs that kill you in terrible ways.

I know the regime is not known for planning ahead ( I.e. shambolic mess) , but can’t escape the thought arresting Dem politicians now is part of a larger plan in 2026.

I think I saw that review and definitely skipped over that mixer instantly. There is no world where that is necessary. Hard no.

So the tax cuts led to $4.5 trillion deficit increase instead of $5 trillion , got it. This admin is so full of it.

I can’t find it, but it wasn’t as much as you’d think. The genre and artists were in a slump ( it was the disco era) so the film revitalized careers and the music + got it on the cheap.

The famous fake film in a film that scared Kevin.

The police dispatcher β€œuse of unnecessary violence” actor is in the fake film in a film β€œ Angels with Dirty Souls” in Home Alone.

I thought the same thing. Russian aircraft availability and utilization is lower than the west, so losing 10-20 could render that type unavailable most of the time. You need some for training and down for scheduled maintenance.

We spent so much time as kids trying to identify the driving around advertising their show neighborhoods and towns.

Just going to say that. A famous case here in IL. The movie accurately displays the hatred for Nazis on the north side and North Shore
