  1. Can't find the clip again, but Fox had Bartiromo interview Trump. Not live. Several times as Trump is giving his answer, there is a quick jump edit to Maria asking another question. It didn't seem like Trump was at the end of his answer. Presumably Trump went off on a subject, like corrupt voting machines, that Fox just can't have on the air any more.
  2. The Celsius bankruptcy resolution is about to pay out at least $1b in crypto to creditors and account holders. I’m curious to see if there will be selling pressure as some of these people might want a quick flip into fiat.
  3. These type of political movements always turn on themselves. Even the original true believers frequently get tossed out. Reap what you sow.
  4. National talk about the border and even Texit imply that 100% of Texas supports Abbott. I don't even think that he has 50% support in what he's doing.
  5. Marc Racicot, former RNC chairman (2001-03), supports removing Trump from the CO ballot. More than a few GOPers want him gone but I guess they're really just RINOs.
  6. From all evidence, he doesn't even have the intelligence to match the already low levels of Boebert and MTG. Is there a Special Congress that would take him?
  7. I might have shared this on this thread but my mom was hit by "legit scammers" who helped her get a new social security card. $100 to fill out a form. By all accounts they didn't attempt to use her SS# to do anything wrong. They just overcharged her for an already free service.
  8. Scams are starting to get worse with AI. AI will be able to seamlessly generate conversations with seniors. Whether it's impersonating family members or someone offering them help. AI can also mimic a person's voice by only hearing a certain number of words. In some near-term future, an AI could call someone's elderly parents and pretend to be their child or grandchild who needs their credit card #. Elderly (or all of us) won't even be able to trust their own ears.
  9. If I believed in any cause, and then someone showed up like this to said cause's rally, I would re-evaluate my support.
  10. Rogan is ok when it comes to comedy conversations with comedians, and one-off clips about interesting subjects. Examples would include Neil deGrasse Tyson talking about galaxies.
  11. By all accounts, Retton has the money or assets to pay for her medical bills. If she gambled without insurance, she should take the hit. Now maybe it's possible that while she was unable to make decisions in the hospital, her daughter made the wrong choice to beg for money but Retton is in a place to correct that mistake. I also doubt we see many more Retton interviews unless it's like with an entertainment reporter or perhaps on ABC's coverage of the Olympics. With any real reporter, Retton won't be able to explain her recent lie that she couldn't get insurance because of pre-existing conditions. And if she couldn't afford insurance due to low income, the govt helps with that.
  12. Vance is laying down the foundation on why Trump, Senate and House can ignore the Supreme Court as long as they really, really think that the Supreme Court has made an illegal ruling. Many in the GOP don't mind making hypothetical arguments of the Supreme Court or even Biden abusing their power, but when asked about a hypothetical abuse of power by Trump, even after he mentions it, they state how they won't play the hypothetical scenario game. The only person or group who has attempted to overthrow the govt is Trump.
  13. I’m not sure there is evidence that he made to Day 1.
  14. GOP house fundraising is down when they elect their 10th choice as the Speaker because the bottom 5% refuse to go along with the rest of the party? Who would have guessed.
  15. Silence can be deafening at times. And it doesn’t mean that they’re not telling House members to get the money flowing. It’s impossible to think that the defense industry doesn’t love it when major countries are fighting.
  16. Put a huge dog water bowl outside with the name of 2 dogs on it.
  17. When it comes to arguing with or setting the average Trump voter straight, it’s not difficult. You only need a few talking points and facts. The economy is the best talking point, and when they counter with inflation, mention how wage growth is outpacing inflation. If they say their wages haven’t grown as much, well then that’s their problem. it’s ok to agree that deciding between two 80 year olds is not anyone’s first choice. When they throw out Biden’s age, always counter that Trump is effectively the same age without Trumps age being your main point. “You’re right that Biden and Trump both misspeak but I’m more interested who performed better with 4 years of their presidency. With that it’s no comparison. But I will give Trump credit that he’s better with social media.”
  18. Sorry to hear about this. One thing to remember is that there isn’t always the perfect solution for the elderly. Many cannot be fully healed. Do the best you can but accept realities.
  19. Of course Kyle is riding the grift train. It’s not like his choice is grift vs starting as an audit associate at EY. he's a high school graduate that was turned away from the military because of his test scores. the world needs ditch diggers too.
  20. Great list and if I can add to the Ukraine point. Some complain that we shouldn’t be sending billions to Ukraine while we have a border crisis. False argument. We can do both if wanted. But also it’s not like we send billions to Ukraine and they buy Chinese military supplies. Those billions are coming right back to American military companies and workers. Ukraine aid is also a stimulus check for workers in 38+ states. and the most important part, not 1 American soldier has died.
  21. Bitcoin mining will drop in April when the payout drops in half as originally planned. Unless the price also doubles, and then everything stays the same.
  22. Another quality politician from SC with plenty of backbone. In 2021, Nancy Mace, GOP Congress member from SC, criticized Trump for his role in Jan 6th. Trump didn’t like that so he endorsed her GOP primary rival in 2022. Nikki Haley was the main supporter of Mace and even traveled with her in Mace’s campaign. Mace won her primary 53-45. Haley may have been the reason. fast forward to today. Mace has done a 180 and is a full on Trumpist and goes on about how Nikki is basically a Chinese agent. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2024/02/03/nancy-mace-nikki-haley-south-carolina-republicans-nn-vpx.cnn
  23. The story was always a bit shady.
  24. I had to watch that twice. They should stop reading economic news live as is comes in. And for the guy who said this was a good as it gets, I hope he enjoyed his last Fox News appearance.
  25. One Shot made 32nd out of 36 things to do in Dripping Springs on Trip Advisor.
