I’m starting to think he’s trying to enrage democrats into doing their own J6.

Habba will be Press Sec.
I'm serious.
And how does that change my question?

So at this point would a bookie even give you odds on Habba getting a SC nomination?

I guess the silver lining is it’s not Flynn or Gabbard?

Hegseth is a big advocate for privatization of the VA. Fucking fuck.

Oh it’s not going to take 2 years. We have actual contractors here. I’m sure they will keep us apprised of the cost of goods.
LV Integrator here, one of our main vendors already hit us with this (received Nov 8th).
QuoteDear Valued Partner,We hope this message finds you well. As part of our commitment to delivering high-quality products while managing rising costs, we have made the decision to implement a modest price increase. This adjustment is necessary to maintain the level of service and product quality you rely on.Effective January 1, 2025, there will be a 6.5% increase across all Security products, including panels & keypads, sensors, radios & antennas, peripherals, Z-Wave automation, and accessories in our 2GIG, GoControl and Linear brands. Updated pricing will be sent to you via our standard communication channels.We appreciate your understanding and continued partnership. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.Best regards,
Julio Ferreira
Chief Sales OfficerThat’s from Nice North America, a lot of the products listed come from China. Waiting for Snap to hit us with the same. They are our vendor for most of our wire, TV mounts, etc. again, mostly made in China. The AV industry is gonna have a bad time. I’m pretty sure Monoprice gets absolutely everything from China, so that sucks for the DIY AV guy too.

He didn’t link to his source but the one link in his c&p was to Fox Business so that may have been his source which, unsurprisingly, would’ve been slanted and biased.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how Biden’s 2021 stimulus caused inflation but Trump’s 2020 stimulus wasn’t a factor. (Or how Trump’s $28 Billion giveaway to farmers to offset the cost of his tariffs wasn’t socialism but that’s beside the point…sort of.)
I’ve never understood how we completely ignore the fact that inflation was global post pandemic. I get that politics is laying blame for everything at the other parties feet, but how do you not just show really simple graphical information like below.

On 11/9/2024 at 8:13 AM, quigley said:I 100% agree with you both. I also am very familiar to the VA system. To me, VA benefits should be given to all who served without means testing. We WANT to care for our vets because they cared for us.
I used to be a great example of a unified health care system. That was back in the 1980s. The erosion begin in 1990s when we thought that one of the spoils of winning to Cold War was going to be no more wars so smaller military. Yeah, right.
The VA has been in a death spiral since. Unable to hire because poor pay so vets don't come so smaller visit numbers justifying further cuts in services. This splashed onto the scene in 2013 and 2014 with tragic deaths due to delayed care. And the response with the Veterans Choice program which pumped more money into the program initially but also allowed veterans benefits to be used at non-VA facilities. John McCain spearheaded the Choice program as a stopgap, but because our politics is broken, it was obvious that this would accelerate the demise of the VA.
Trump made it easier to go outside the VA for care in 2017, and his administration is going to kill the VA, which is bad. Veterans have special needs, and the VA had served those needs well. Another terrible decision for those who voted for the "face-eating leopards party" (FELP).
I’m the guy Guadaloopy is talking about. I shattered my ankle playing tackle football on the weekend with guys from my unit. This was in Savannah at hunter AAF. On the weekends the ER there is pretty much two EMTs and an ambulance. Dude unlaced my cleat and pulled it off (yea, super regard), it was like watching a marshmallow in a microwave. He says yep, that’s fucked, but orthopedics at Fort Stewart doesn’t open until Monday. Sends me home in a splint with 800mg Motrin to suffer for another day and a half.
X ray at ortho confirms it’s broke broke. It was a twisting injury, my cleat got planted with a guy wrapped around my leg while two other dudes spun me like a top. The ortho doc wanted to do surgery, but he got overruled by the department head. They put me in a cast and sent me home. After 3 weeks I had to get a new cast because of the swelling reduction. My leg was rattling around in the cast. I spent 2 months total in a cast then another month in a boot. I was never given any physical therapy other than a handout for stuff to do at home.
Needless to say my leg was never the same. My running gait was all fucked up because my ankle didnt work right. That led to a lot of knee pain, which led to more ranger candy. I left the service and didn’t claim anything for disability. Fast forward 10 years of rolled ankles and problems and I finally have a civilian doc look at things. He says the army docs were idiots for not addressing any of the ankle stability, and recommends reconstruction. At that point my ankle would roll stepping wrong on a carpet transition. I agreed, so in 2011 I had a modified brostrum procedure to shorten the loose ligaments and give me a functional ankle.
My wife and friends convinced me at that point to apply for benefits. I had felt like Guadaloopy that my injury wasn’t service related and I genuinely felt like it was disrespectful to guys that got real combat injuries. What changed was the immense anger at how shitty the service treated my injury that led to a lifetime of pain. In July of this year I had to have a bone spur removed that was growing through my Achilles. My (VA) surgeon said that it’s a common side effect to the ankle reconstruction I had done. Almost 25 years later and I’m still dealing with problems stemming from that decision not to fix things the first time.
This was my first procedure by the VA. My surgeon was a private practice guy from Seattle that came to the VA to get more surgeries under his belt. I feel lucky in that regard. I’ve dealt with the bad side of the VA (almost 2 month wait to get an MRI, a year and a half wait to get an ENT consult), but I have to say the physical therapy outfit at the VA is amazing. There’s a lot of underfunded stuff at the VA, but PT isn’t one of them. It’s really not something you could privatize easily. The civilian world just doesn’t see the injuries that the VA does, and the few that do definitely don’t see them in that volume. Losing access to that kind of care is just going to drive up an already horrific suicide rate, because guys are going to suffer.

So how poorly did McCarthy miscalculate to make that move to directly confront Gaetz and Boebert on the floor? If you make that move and it doesn’t work, what card is left to play?

One thing I clearly saw Gaetz tell McCarthy was “I warned you.”

I've been watching German football since the 70's. This is the worst German side I've ever seen. No finishers, poor defense. An unimaginative manager.
Bambi, Gnabry, and Sane are all scorers, so it’s bizarre that they can’t finish here. The defense is historically bad. I thought Hansi was the man behind the curtain on that 2014 team after Low seemed to melt after he left. Now I don’t understand how they went from that dominant a performance to this.

Flick walked away from a Bayern team that won everything possible to take this job, and now he’s about to get fired. Talk about a fall from grace.

All of these guys play year round. And every league schedules around international breaks. It isn't like MLB vs. Venezuelan winter league.
MLS plays Feb-Oct, most international leagues are Aug-May. I think guys that are mid season are in a different form than guys coming off their break. We are always missing internationals during stuff like gold cup, so their time together in camp is impacted. MLS guys get more time in camp, which I think gets them some outsized trust and playing time with GGG.

My mom has a fixation on where the refs are from in every match. They always have some grievance against Germany and will call a terrible game. It was really fun telling her about the reffing crew for this game against CR.

10 hours ago, Pato del Muerto said:Was thinking about this earlier, thought I’d throw it out to the group.
if/when the US wins a world cup, is it more likely to be a miracle run from a team rated similarly to this one, or will it be a more methodical plod where the team climbs the rankings and slowly advances further until it is one of the favorites?
I’ll say former. Structurally USSF is always going to suffer because of their best players being across the pond. We lose time in camp on international breaks waiting for guys to be released. Our mix of MLS guys and internationals are always in different form because of the different season timings. I think that will always lend itself to a mixed bag which will keep our rating roughly where we are now.

Hey reporters, how about you dig two feet into GGGs ass about not playing Reyna. Make that fucker walk out of the presser. There’s NOTHING that Haji brought into the game that Reyna couldn’t do late. Him and Aaronson up top would have netted us another goal in those 2v2s at the end.
