  1. Maybe he sees something in her that others can’t
  2. What’s this talk about Jasmine Crockett running for Senate?
  3. Thanks. Not sure that should be national news. 18 and 16 is not a big deal imo. Dude is completely unqualified for his role irrespective of being a choad in hs
  4. I know sometimes divorce proceedings can be kept private. With their both being elected state officials can they be compelled to keep it all public?
  5. I went to a high school that was 90% black. We had a few kids every year that got into Ivies. They were always top 5 in the class if not Val or Sal and had SATs north of 1500 (back when only rich kids had access to SAT prep and you had to walk uphill both ways through snow to get to school), but they probably got in over some white kids who looked better on paper. They didn’t take any spots from the kids of the rubes that routinely bitch about this shit. And the kids who did lose a spot still got in somewhere great. Wherever you go what you do with the opportunity once you get in is what counts And I would bet the number of legacy kids at Ivy League schools and places like Stanford Vandy and NW who are actually not qualified to be there dwarfs the “DEI” numbers Final aside the minority kids at my HS who went to prestigious schools, with the exception of a couple of true prodigies, had parents who were professionals. They got a lot of money for school that imo should have gone to lower middle class kids regardless of race. Our system has helped turn what should be class conflict into race conflict
  6. Is there a cliffs notes? Daily Beast wants me to “register”
  7. I know the owners of a girls’ camp and knowing the time effort and heart/soul they put into making it successful, and the positive impact they have on the campers’ lives, I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. the local govt not so much
  8. What’s worst is the head of the fucking federal disaster team shows up 9 days after the deadliest flood in US history looking like an extra in a Sopranos knockoff. It’s an insult to not only the victims and their families but to every American. This asshole didn’t know there is such a thing as “hurricane season.” As someone who grew up in southeast Texas and still has friends and family there, as well as friends and family in flood alley, I am beyond pissed about this fuckstick’s very existence. If you can’t see that you’re the terrible shell of human asshole *his showing up 8 days late is a current event, newsworthy, and has a Texas Slant *Elvis being a dickhole with a moronic take is a known fact, and while not news to anyone, bears mention
  9. Good people fuck up every day
  10. Link please I need to see this nonsense
  11. Explain what this means. I was under the impression it meant you weren’t eligible for federal flood insurance if you build within those boundaries not that you can’t build at all is that not the case?
  12. Don’t know much about Roman Catholic eschatology but when I was in medical school I had a patient who told me when I was taking her medical history that she had “fireball tumors in my Eucharist”

    Senate 2026

    I don’t do twitter but apparently Newsom has said if Texas redistricts Cali will too, to match the number of red districts Texas creates with new blue Cali districts
  14. THAT is how you humblebrag
  15. Well if you’re going to do that kind of shit to me I’d rather be asleep
  16. Mark Twain never said this, but there’s no amount of evidence that would persuade you of that
  17. I reject your premise that Mamdani would appoint incapable staff to important positions as well as your premise that any of the others would appoint capable staff. So the rest is moot the dark money is coalescing against him so I’m guessing my instincts that he is the best choice are correct
  18. Umm yeah..
  19. Since when is a test drive against the rules?
  20. I would but when am I going to be in Idaho?
  21. This is just good business. Whatever they spend on this type of aid to communities in dire straits brings a much greater return than an ad buy of similar cost would. I mentioned Germania up thread wrt Rita. I always keep the minimum insurance with the highest deductible on everything because shit rarely happens and I keep a pretty good cushion. They had a tent set up in a parking lot for customers to meet the adjusters, as there was no internet or landline service and cell service was mostly overloaded. I went down to submit my claim and when done the adjuster handed me a check for a thousand dollars. I said what’s this for? She said “food spoilage”. I said that’s not in my policy and she simply said “that’s OUR policy”. Been with them ever since.
