  1. That Orban guy sounds like he sucks. We really need a mechanism in place to kick countries out of NATO. Europeans should consider the same for the EU. Hell, Turkey is presenting itself as less of an obstacle to European unity than Victor is right now.
  2. What does one do when a group points out that you don't crack down on online hate speech? Well, you sue that group of course! Free speech absolutism at its finest.
  3. Access to the building denied to inspectors two days in a row? Seems there is no permit (duh!). Claims the installation is temporary for an "event". Elmo remains a master businessman.
  4. Well, some numbers have been tossed around. For California alone this amounts to up to $800 billion (2-3 times the entire CA yearly budget) and somewhere between $1.2 million and $5 million per eligible person in the state. I'm not aware of a single reputable official who has backed this actually being enacted. The optics of coming out actively against it wouldn't play well I assume. I think most politicians are just expecting (and hoping) it will run out of steam.
  5. Maybe we just pick an Outback Steakhouse location at random along the coast and designate it sovereign territory.
  6. This has been attributed to multiple people in different forms over the years but I always recall the quote: When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do? With the benefit of made up alternative facts one never has to go through the painful process of changing one's mind. Advantage MAGA?
  7. Well, not quite that stupid. My understanding is that the Soviets were not on the hook for equipment lost in actual fighting. So by claiming the goods were lost in battle (disappeared) they were free and clear. So are they stupid? Yes. But we must never forget their second most predominant quality, lying.
  8. Don't all conflicts end when someone "wins"? And we'd all get our minds in a knot trying to square up their platform.
  9. Insert <ThisIsFine.jpg> here. It's only a matter of time.
  10. If this is the outcome of the coupling, it won't solve much.
  11. Gonna need more popcorn
  12. Doesn't this man have a job or two?
  13. I don't give a damn what he says. I'm no giving up my Jalapeno Poppers!
  14. I've never understood their argument at all, even if taken at face value. They say let's cut their taxes. Thus their last marginal dollars go untaxed and they will be able to invest that in capital improvements or pay additional people to come on board. But... they've always been able to do that. Need to buy a new widget for your factory? Expense it. Now the whatever $ you spent on it becomes "untaxed". There has never been a tax burden to investment in business expansion. What can't a businessman do in the current tax system that the tax cuts allow? Pocketing the money. Who could have guessed that this is what would have happened?
