  1. Schumer is terrible. So, he comes out and says they wont give the votes to the Republicans but their request is to have a vote for 30 day CR. Then, the very next day he capitulates and says that they will vote for the House CR. WTF? Did he actually believe that Thune was going to agree on a vote for the 30 day? This is the only time they have any leverage. To not use it is malpractice. They don’t have to take the blame for the shutdown as this isn’t a normal CR as it has no instructions for the Executive on spending (which is an absolute gift to TFG). Trump is going to continue crashing the economy and destroying the government with it open and closed. Schumer’s not a Palestinian - it’s more like Vichy France.
  2. I will donate $50. I need a reason to watch non-Astro games.
  3. They aren’t getting to the second weekend. Terrible shooting team who fouls on every defensive possession.
  4. Really excited for this team to get another game.
  5. When does the reciprocal tariff report come out? He and his cronies believe European VAT is equivalent to a tariff on US goods. I fully expect him to announce significant tariffs on a significant amount of European goods when that report is released.
  6. Also by dismissing this bill, you want us to ignore that this state is actually run by 2 Christian Nationalist oil billionaires who support this type of legislation. Originally, it was only about protecting kids and now when they begin to show it’s about more than the kids - let’s just ignore it. This shit is wrong and anyone who actually supports individual liberty should be calling this shit out.
  7. How about American consumers did this? Consumers will always choose the cheaper alternative.
  8. We don’t need to know the results of your Cologuard test.
  9. I think it’s because Trudeau put something else in Melania’s mouth.
  10. Caleb just needs to pull himself up by his bootstraps and get his family off the government tit known as commodity support payments.
  11. Fundraising in small local elections such as the school board elections mentioned in Troph’s post absolutely matters. National and statewide elections is another story.
  12. That’s shitty and they need to get rid of the god damn Oxy patch.
  13. I will welcome our new Canadian overlords with open arms. However, I draw the line on drinking Canadian beer.
  14. When did you have Viasat? Teams calls are OK and it gives me an excuse to turn off my video (which I prefer for calls which could have easily been a conference call before Covid). I need to upgrade my equipment to get Viasat’s unlimited plan which I will do before football season as I use more data watching football games during hunting season.
  15. Shut the Government down on Friday or not? This will likely be the last time in 2025 that Democratic votes in the Senate will be required to pass the CR.
  16. You are not correct on the tax treatment of the covered calls. If you sell a call option and the call expires worthless, the call premium is taxable as a short-term capital gain. It doesn’t reduce your basis in the underlying shares.
  17. Southwest was already more expensive on most routes than their competitors so those checked bags weren’t really free.
  18. Can you have Viasat? Thats my satellite internet provider for my ranch which is in the middle of nowhere. I was considering switching to Starlink this year but that’s not going to happen now.
  19. Fidelity allows you to choose your tax strategy. I have my taxable account set up to always sell the highest cost basis shares first. Fidelity also has options to sell the longest held shares first, etc.
  20. NO MORE JERKY BEEF!
  21. Based on a google search, 28% of the S&P 500’s revenues are from outside the US.
