Trump’s America
and it won’t just be as simple that you need to send in your ballot a day earlier. Who’s to say that large cities won’t experience longer sorting delays (and corresponding post mark) the week of the election. And by delay I mean a direct slowdown command from a political appointee. Then the county election board is handed thousands of ballots that are postmarked after the election date but mailed days earlier.

Trump’s America
The USS JFK is the next aircraft carrier to be delivered to the US Navy in 2027. And the only one named for a Dem president. I don’t believe for a second that Hegseth and Trump aren’t discussing renaming it after Trump. Maybe they will toss JFK a bone by renaming a future one after him. The Kennedy family might be punished if they make too big of a deal of the Kennedy center renaming. And speaking of being petty, Trump won’t stand that a future aircraft carrier is set to be named after Clinton. It’s still 10 years from being commissioned. My guess is that Trump is unaware of this plan.

They really do just say the quiet part out loud. Boebert thinks it’s ok if Trump attacks and punishes Denver residents since they didn’t support him but that he shouldn’t attack his supporters in her district. Maybe I’m naive but should we ever want any president to attack any Americans out of spite?

Trumps War on Everything
Perhaps it’s only a change in reporting but the media has definitely highlighted that the CIA is taking the lead in Venezuela. Honesty I think it’s obvious that Trump doesn’t really trust Hegseth with anything at this point. He can’t get rid of Hegseth without admitting he made a big mistake.

Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
I recall there were 2 issues with sidewalks and curbs on alba and later on Golf followed. There are only a handful of houses on Alba, in terms of facing alba and they are relatively small lots. Some of the owners complained that walkers would effectively be walking next to their front windows. This was clearly an exaggeration. Other street homeowners were concerned that curbs and sidewalks would be forced on them as well.

All Encompassing Investment and Financial Planning Thread for the Surly 99.5%
Heard great quote on a YouTube video. Mentioned that when most people who say they want to be a millionaire, they really mean they want to spend like a millionaire. Whatever that means. And since it’s all about spending with them, they most likely will never hit these goals. Instead, save and invest yourself up to 5m and then you can spend like that “millionaire” every year.

Trump’s America
I don’t know what to think but there is an odd fact that we had a former/soon-to-be president almost assassinated and we know next to nothing about that incident. The lack of information comes across that if it hadn’t occurred in public with 100s of camera, we literally would have zero information.

The excuses are a journey. The first justification will be that they didn’t have a choice because Kamala (mispronounced) was such a bad candidate.

Heights/Garden Oaks/Oak Forest
About a month ago I saw a Waymo car in the Heights with someone in the driver seat. I had read they were running tests in Houston. Last night I saw a Waymo car driving down Shepherd that looked to have no one in it. This apparently has become a thing over the last few weeks. at some unpublicized date, they will flip a switch and allow paying customers like with Uber. I would have to guess that it’s soon if driverless cars are moving around without problems. Anyway that was the first time I ran across a driverless car.

Jeffrey Epstein needs his own thread
When Clinton was thought to have been involved in an illegal land development scheme in the 90s, he was investigated by a special counsel. i know the answer but how in the world can we have smoking guns with Trump being involved in pedophilia, and it’s brushed off as political bs. I still think the most likely story is that Trump was involved in some sleazy situations but that doesn’t mean children were involved.

The Supreme Court allowing unlimited donations has been one of the worst foundational problems of our politics. Wealthy people always have more access to politicians. No one is naive not to understand that but we've gone out of our way for them to buy favors.

So this is interestin'... Births are lower than they've been since the late 1970s
If a father, while married, is working himself to death to give a certain lifestyle for his kids then he should continue that support. Of course he can choose to work less but why should the child suffer for that? Once again if you don’t want to support a kid, the time to make that decision is before you have them.

Maybe when you get enough money, you need to find novel ways to find thrills. I don't have that problem.

2025 Celebrity Death Pool
I'm skeptical that there was someone filming just outside of the tunnel as the Ferrari came through and crashed. I assume they were filming for a reason and knew the Ferrari and perhaps others were driving fast and sliding/drifting/whatever.
