  1. I'm as critical of the democrats as anyone, but the problem is us. As others have talked about on this thread, the perpetual lying, the flooding of the zone with terrible news and lies, we can't keep up. Humans can't keep up. So they shut off. They could replay those clips 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC, post FB ads, whatever. The people who need to see it will never see it, thanks to Fox news and the like, and the FB algorithms and Twitter algorithms.
  2. By Gawd, that's @jkates's music! He's gonna defend a family of crooked sexual assault covering up pieces of shit as great men again!!
  3. Hitting total wine today for a birthday tonight for a buddy. What would you snobs suggest in the 80-100 range that's not the obvious Blanton's or Garrison Bros type of stuff. Bonus points if it's slightly more obscure. He likes Bourbon, but he's not a snob about it.
  4. You could always pay away the principle with payments and just pay out the rest of the interest on the mortgage timetable. Meanwhile, while I'm at 3.5%, I'm stuck in this thing for another 25 years...sigh.
  5. He literally hired someone who was on Eric Adam's staff. Granted, she resigned. But she was on it. I'm simply saying, DeBlasio, when he was mayor, was NOT popular. Regardless of how Mamdani views him. If the guy wants to be successful, and stick around, I hope he does more than follow that guy's blueprint. Everyone loves Lina Khan, including me.
  6. Chainsaw will never believe it.
  7. Yeah, but those savings go right out the door to buy chili ingredients.
  8. That's not really an answer. People spent years here, justifiably shitting on DeBlasio and Bloomberg, and now you're turning around and pimping the guys who were all over his staff as some transcendent dream team? If Gavin Newsome wins the presidency and hires Stephen Miller is all forgiven? I'm sorry I disagree with your take these seem like great hires. I like Khan. The rest doesn't seem too fucking great. And lets not pretend there aren't a fuck ton of qualified people who could step into the NY political machine. Don't act like there's 10 people out there total and this guy just nailed the top 4. "There's just not a lot of experience" isn't a reason to tout hiring a bunch of Jeff Fisher's of NY politics, even if that were the case, which it isn't.
  9. I mean, the resumes seem fine to good, but 3 out of the 4 names have ties to fucking DeBlasio, with a smattering of Bloomberg in there. Not actually guys known for having popular or even populist mayoral runs. Some might cynically call that shit The Swamp.
  10. Not sure how much of textbooks are digital these days, I assume all of them. Which hopefully makes adding removed sections easy. I was assuming Osoff was dead in the water this cycle, but maybe I have a bit of hope now.
  11. A lot of the stuff you mentioned isn't a school board thing, it's mandated by the state. At the very least the 10 Commandments shit. Pretty sure the Bible as History as well.
  12. You're inability to answer simple questions is fucking beyond pathetic. It's telling, sure, but mostly pathetic. Nice to see you show up around now, though. Happy hour is getting started right?
  13. I saw a few quotes by Bessent basically saying the Supreme Court's decision is irrelevant and they have other mechanisms through exist laws that have been passed to implement the tariff's they want. I mean, I look forward to Trump calling the Supreme Court wrong and idiots and that not getting reported by the national media, I guess.
  14. I think those people switched back on Fox news, heart them say this is the democrats fault, and immediately started nodding their fudge stained heads.
  15. Yeah, but no one who needs to hear that will hear that.
  16. So, you raise prices at home so consumers are squeezed, you kick over-seas sales in the balls, and then you cross your fingers that domestic sales can pick up the slack in already over-extended households. Seems like a great strategy.
  17. Kamala had great vibes.
  18. Nice alabama graphic.
  19. It's hardly traditional, but I got gifted one of those super hot sauces that's like, turbo hot straight to pain a few years back for Christmas. Whenever my chili doesn't come out quite as hot as I'd like, I add a few drops of this stuff and let it simmer another 15 minutes, then taste test. It's a quick, easy cheat to get the heat the way I want in the chili. It doesn't take much to make a big difference. The first time I tried this I just put in like 2 tablespoons of the stuff in what was probably a couple of gallons of chili, easily. I won't go so far to say it was "inedible" but eating all of that over the course of a week definitely was work more than pleasure.
  20. I would love for my lawn to go away and for me to just gravel over it. Save me thousands of dollars a year.
  21. Nah. I think they actively hate way less than 90%. Like, 70% tops.
  22. I don't think it's hostile nearly as much as it's just completely ambivalent and indifferent to about 90% of Americans.
  23. I meant the mountains, my man. The towns/stops are truly dreadful. But the mountains are pretty, especially if you're usually driving from Houston to anywhere.
  24. Nothing. I don't even know who the fuck that guy is/was...related to Tony Robbins?
