  1. They fired Zac again. Zac to the Foo? Dave worships Ringo.
  2. fat orange fucking cunt WASHINGTON — This week, the Trump Administration released its Army Corps work plans that show President Trump is politicizing critical infrastructure investments. House Appropriations Committee analysis shows that the Trump administration shifted more than $250 million away from critical infrastructure construction projects in Democratic-led states, particularly Washington and California, to Republican-led states. This includes the complete elimination of Army Corps construction funding for states like California. This move risks delaying critical safety projects across the country. House Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro (D-CT-03) and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Ranking Member Marcy Kaptur (D-OH-09) condemned this corrupt move. “President Trump is blatantly playing politics with critical Army Corps construction investments and punishing the American people for the way their states have voted,” said Representatives DeLauro and Kaptur. “Rushing water from collapsed dams and floods caused by failed infrastructure do not know state borders, nor do they have political leanings. The damage, lives lost, and economic outcomes impact all Americans, which is why the federal government makes these investments in the first place. The Trump administration should follow Congress’s intent to guide its investments. Instead, President Trump has unilaterally chosen to punish the people living in certain states—a historic and clear abuse of taxpayer dollars. This is the exact scenario we feared when House Republicans introduced their slush fund 2025 funding bill, which failed to reflect both Republican and Democratic priorities. It does not matter who is in the White House, people across the country are harmed when all the power Congress holds to represent the people in their states and districts is handed to the President.” The Republican fiscal year 2025 full-year continuing resolution cut Corps of Engineers’ Civil Works Construction by $1.4 billion or 44 percent, and it also gave all discretion to the Trump administration to prioritize projects among over 1,000 throughout the country that should be directed by Congress. Army Corps of Engineers projects keep commerce safely flowing on our waterways, manage flood risk, and restore ecosystems. In her March 11, 2025, remarks on the House Floor in opposition to the power-grab continuing resolution, Ranking Member DeLauro raised the prospect of exactly this scenario: “The Army Corps of Engineers construction projects would be cut by $1.4 billion, 44 percent, and President Trump, not Congress, would determine who gets funding, what city, state, locality, and how much money that is there.” The Army Corps’ work plan can be found here. ###
  3. Mexicans are really good at beaching pangas in Del Mar.

    the documentary is now available on Amazon Prime for 6 bucks. It's quite good. I, for one, had no idea how much Jimmy played a Tele.
  5. (I posted this elsewhere a few weeks back) The Dodgers have a few Japanese players, and when the did their recent clubhouse remodel, Japanese-style thrones were installed.
  6. The stupid cocksucker also played "Fortunate Son"
  7. It's time for the guy from Styx?
  8. Reddit says Ed Sheerin has a song on the F-1 movie soundtrack. with Meyer on guitar, Dave on drums.
  9. as far as AF-1 goes, this is an extremely low-hour plane, is it not? Major airlines and freight companies run these things for several hours a day...this thing goes unused for days/weeks at a time.
  10. Barnard P. Fife is the best sitcom character ever. George Costanza is in 2nd place.
  11. HAHA. Those people are completely gutted, and will likely cease-to-exist very soon. They won't be any help to you...at least not for 4 years or so.
  12. Me, working with an unmarried couple. They've got loan approval, and I start showing them houses in their price range. I show them one they like very much. I offer to buy them lunch. We're having lunch, and they decide to go forward with a full-price offer. I call the listing agent (a reputable agent that I know), and tell him that I will be forwarding an offer later that day. He tells me to expect a quick, affirmative response. So, I then give my buyers my standard speech...don't make any major transactions, don't run up your credit cards, don't change jobs, etc. Don't make your financial picture look even a tiny bit different than when the loan was approved. The man starts acting strangely. We part so I can get started on writing the offer. He calls me, and speaks in a very low voice. The fucking idiot had gone to a mall jewelry store and purchased an engagement ring for the woman, and had financed it. I called his lender, and the lender is livid. Fucking idiot got approved by the skin of his teeth, and now this purchase will torpedo his chance at closing the loan.
  13. the "rollover residence replacement" rule.
  14. yeah no lender "approval" is very different from closing. My last deal, the buyer worked for a small company. We got loan approval, released our loan contingency, and moved forward to our closing date. A "funding condition" was verification of buyer's employment on the day of funding. Turns out, the HR lady was out sick that day, and nobody else in the company had the authority to verify her employment, so we got delayed a couple days. Every loan I've seen gets an approval subject to "funding conditions".
  15. Phil's a good guy. If he needs pics of your wife's tits to verify that you are who you say you are, it's OK to send them over. It's standard procedure. (Phil, don't forget to PM me the tit pics)

    WTF is with this asshole and the scarves? He's a fucking Stevie Nicks wannabe?
  18. Sporkfoot knows Ossoff will take her anus. She's not running.
  19. just to clarify...the 500 threshold is "filing jointly".
