Can you even imagine the rage right now as Trump tries to post comebacks on his shitty Truth Social only to realize that the site is down.
Going to be a late night as they each get dosed up on ketamine and adderall (or whatever).

Don't forget, we can't compare DHS to the Gestapo just because they're deporting people for constitutionally protected speech and/or political stances! That's just crazy talk.
Don't forget deporting for being brown and having a couple of tattoos.

It's hard to pitch out 10 years because so much of the bill is set to expire in 3-5 years to keep it kinda sort of reasonable. If it were made hard permanent, my guess is it's deficit effects would be mindblowing.
Here's a decent summation of the latest iteration from Congressional Budget Office.
Thank you.

JFC, with Bond Yields jumping today, I can't believe I'm saying this: Chip Roy is right. I'm not saying massive cuts to Medicaid is the solution (it's not), but finding some offsets for this tax bill is a must.
Ideally, the tax bill would look totally different, but that chance walked out the door last November.
What are the dollar estimates for the tax cuts and the cuts to Medicaid in the bill? Over 10 years or whatever.

This is the most precise explanation of why we're here. I doubt it will make the history books, but it's been nonstop indoctrination of parents, children, and grandchildren for the last 35 years.

Just a well-oiled machine, functioning as intended, making sure we are not invaded by.....Canadian hikers, who own property and vehicles in Canada and are no threat to try to illegally emigrate to the US:
Horrible, but I guess she's also lucky she didn't get detained for several days like the Canadian woman in San Diego. She was placed in a room with other women with no explanation. Then after 6 days, she and the other women were moved to Arizona. She got out after 12 days. https://archive.is/k34Pr

DNA, @tigol has a menopause thread on here somewhere. I searched but couldn’t find it. Not sure if it’s because the search sucks or because everyone likes to be cute and put clever stupid fucking titles on threads. It wasn’t tigol’s thread to start with, but like Ruffian used to do on Shaggy she sort of took it over for a bit and gave some really good female points. I would suggest reading it when you have time, and the divorce thread too. Not everyone on the divorce thread wants to burn down their house with their wife in it- there’s some really good advice about staying together, too.
I think this is the one.

Not to mention every single time black people started to succeed, whites slammed the door on them - see Tulsa for a great example.Except no one is taught that because the school would be doing a CRT, and that would make white kids and their parents feel bad. So they eliminate teaching real history and DEI for the "good" of America.

Saw this story on another forum. Sounds real enough.
SpoilerThe scene with Nicky Katt and McConaughey trash-talking about Melba Toast is not in the shooting script, and it wasn't on the call sheet either. Not only was the dialog improvised, the shooting of the scene itself was improvised! Those of us on the camera crew who were longtime collaborators with the director knew he needed and wanted as many character moments like this as he could rack up on an overloaded shooting schedule. The studio was bringing tremendous pressure on what they considered a first-time director to economize and simplify the shot list each day, and the battle was taking its toll by the time the scenes at the Emporium were shot. We were more or less told there would be no improvised or additional scenes allowed to be scheduled, despite the director's hopes that many of the cast members could contribute to the film by coming up with small bits to throw in that helped their characters. Oh, you say we can't make the movie our way? "Okay, so we mutiny," we figured.
There was a 16mm documentary crew filming that day and we grabbed a B camera and bootlegged their sound recorder to capture the dialog. We set up the lights, camera and corralled the actors without informing the first AD or the producer and rehearsed it on the QT while the main unit was busy inside shooting other scenes. The scene was shot during the official union lunch break, off the clock. The technical jargon was all given to Mathew by the DP, Lee Daniel, a gearhead himself and the owner of the '67 ragtop GTO from SLACKER. Matthew quickly made it his own. Knowing the specs were possibly partially bogus was a nod to Warren Oates' brags on his GTO in TWO LANE BLACKTOP. Why let the truth get in the way of a friendly challenge?
Nicky's Trans-Am ("White Lightning," another cheeky Trans-Am reference) was a deliberate nod to Jeff Bridge's stolen TA in THUNDERBOLT AND LIGHTFOOT and the SS may or may not have had all the attributes listed. We did one take of the exchange before we got busted, but as they say in ZZ Top, "(we) let the machine do the talking." There were screaming matches with the suits over this sort of roughshod behavior but we're not sorry. Better to ask forgiveness than permission when you know the answer in advance.
The film needed some genuine car talk to balance the trash talk about girls, of which there was plenty. The pair's rivalry is revisited in the quick montage of driving to the moontower party with a great tossed-off line about bringing your wood screws, "'cause I'm gonna blow your doors.... completely off."

Sorry for your loss, Brisket. Some of the sweetest memories I have of my dad are times when we would go fishing. Hang in there, man.

No argument out of me, Turnstiles, imo, is a really good, underappreciated album.
Same for Streetlife Serenade too, imo.

^ I've never read a lot of King, but got interested after hearing some interviews on NYT book review audio. Started with some shorter works. Have liked From a Buick 8, The Long Walk, Under the Dome, and Duma Key.
The character development of Holly is great. In addition to If It Bleeds, I enjoyed the other two with her as a primary character, The Outsider (2018) and Holly.

I go back and forth on it. She shouldn't have to call out the lies but it is important for her to do so. However, that's his tactic. Flood the zone with so much bullshit every time he's asked a question so that his bullshit becomes the topic and he doesn't have to address the question asked. She needs to not get knocked off her points or evade answering questions because she's constantly answering his bullshit. You know the media is going to can't win her if she address lie after lie. He can say the worst things in the world and it doesn't affect him. She can't because she's a woman and she's held to a higher standard which is absolute crap but it is what will happen.
I think a quick 'this is not a serious candidate and he won't even answer the questions posed to him' will be enough to rattle him a bit. Then go on to her answer.

I doubt any of her teammates in Tokyo wanted her throwing herself 10-12' in the air doing multiple somersaults/twists while also being disoriented while she's in mid-air. Doubt that they felt betrayed.

As is always the case in these shootings, people spend an inordinate amount of time trying to determine why these things keep happening. The kid had a gun and an opportunity presented itself. There’s also a simpler explanation. The kid could just not have liked bullies, having been bullied himself. Trump is a bully.
~1 in 20 American adults (16 million) own at least one AR-15 (Wash Post estimate). That's all you need to know really.

The great middle doesn't see the existential threat that Trump is. They want lower taxes, cheap prices on the goods they buy, to go to work and raise their kids. They don't pay attention to this at the same level or passion as people on the left and right.

A lot of people haven't made the connection that this is fascism vs democracy on the ballot because they aren't tuned in.
Massive failure on the part of the Dems not to have kept the fascism vs democracy angle on the front burner for all of 2024. You obviously can't do it for four years because most people don't want to think about it all the time. But they have to be able to speak persuasively to voters in the next four months. I'm not sure any Democrat can win if they don't.
