  1. Yet another example of what lefties don’t see because they don’t make a point to understand Texas Republicans: Even the politically active R’s are sick of this shit and are begging Democrats to be competitive and giving strategic pointers. “Their insanity may turn Texas blue after all. All Democrats have to do is use Brian Harrison’s rhetoric against the R’s and talk about what people really want…property tax relief, public safety & safe schools & roads. And get rid of vouchers.”

  3. By the time Democrats regain control won’t have the choice.
  4. The funny thing is that you aren’t wrong. It’s not conscious, but they’ve institutionalized the process of losing. It’s what they are organized to do, like the Washington Generals.
  5. If the Democrats can’t win with this setup, they are fundamentally broken and we need a different opposition party.

  7. That’s true, and if you were designing an incentive strategy to encourage other nations to dedollarize the global trade economy, you would unilaterally impose a broad based tariff regime that reduces imports and enlarge the deficit and weaken the dollar via domestic tax stimulus. If only!
  8. There was Jimmy and Tommy and me, Anthony Stabile, Frankie Carbone. And then there was Mo Black’s brother Fat Andy and his guys Frankie the Wop and Freddy No-Nose. And then there was Pete the Killer, who was Sally Balls brother. Then you had Nicky Eyes and Mikey Franzese and Jimmy Two-Times, who got that nickname because said everything twice, like “I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers.” For us to live any other way was nuts. Uh, to us, those goody-good people who worked shitty jobs for bum paychecks and took the subway to work every day, and worried about their bills, were dead. I mean they were suckers. They had no balls. If we wanted something we just took it. If anyone complained twice they got hit so bad, believe me, they never complained again.

  10. Fair enough, but it seemed like she was trying to maneuver him over a trap door. The language says “an audit or other investigation.” In order to grant or revoke status, there would have to be determination made by the IRS, an administrative process with multiple opportunities for appeal. If you made a determination you gathered and found facts, and if you gathered and found facts, that’s an investigation. Otherwise you have an arbitrary and capricious determination, which is invalid and subject to reversal.
  11. There’s a lot to unpack here but the simplest version is that that there is a huge difference between an inflationary spike caused by a demand flood+supply shock vs a secular cost increase that doesn’t change the demand signal. In the first situation (2022) a market leader will try float slightly behind the pack- stay a price leader but increase prices at the same rate as everyone else because there’s more buying power coming at you. In the second situation (2025) they deploy dry powder to consolidate and take share from less well capitalized or efficient competitors. Of course an announcement like this pleases Trump and HD’s customers alike. But it’s also the right thing to do for the business if they can afford to do it without cutting into muscle.
  12. As I’ve said repeatedly on this board- dominant players consolidate market share by leaving prices flat or even lowering them curing periods of secular cost increases if they are able. Gross Margin is a war chest, not a strategic objective.

  14. Well I’ve been married for 27 years, so …
  15. I’m just here for the dick jokes
  16. What if I have an old car to shoot at
  17. I should already have one of those, and the only reason* why I’ve held off is the question of .357 vs 45-70. *of course, the total lack of utility could be considered a reason since I don’t own land or hunt, but I that never stopped me before.
  18. Not necessarily my top five, but five I like that don’t get enough love
  19. @realgreggym the children are gone amirite
