If someone went The Sum of All Fears and snuck a nuke into Florida and detonated it in Palm Beach, would anyone offer an intel help to the US right now? Pretty sure the global response would be ...
You lack imagination - it's clear that the migrant hoards will start forming in July after early polls show the Dems are likely to take control of Congress. See how easy that is?
So does anyone actually believe the data being put out by the BLS under Wiatrowski? To his credit, the numbers aren't so outlandish that they can be dismissed out of hand, but these numbers are a good amount lower than expected. It wouldn't surprise me if they start pumping out 2.1% numbers even when it's clear that we're running closer to 4%.
Made the mistake of taking one of the last flights out of SFO on Friday. I don't give a shit what anyone is wearing, but if your body odor is so fucking foul you're making people gag as you roll by during boarding, I'd be on board with the airline dousing your ass with some Febreze / deodorant on the way in - take your pick. By my estimate, at least 1/3 of the people were reeking from jump. Layer in the folks in the rows ahead of me shitting themselves every 15 minutes, and I agree that we may need to revisit the social contract associated with mass transportation.
Hopefully the next president promptly renames it "The Fuck Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace" (ya know - to get our money's worth out of the signage ...) with instruction for it to revert to simply the Institute of Peace after 5 years.
If the non-MAGA contingent ever regains a majority on the Supreme Court, they should just issue a blanket opinion overriding every opinion that was decided from 2016 on without concurrence by any of Ginsberg, Sotomayor, Kagan or Jackson because the rest of them over this period have shown themselves to be utterly corrupt. (BTW - I understand that's not the way the SC works, but why bother trying to play by rules when the GOP has made up fact patterns and forced cases up to the Supreme Court to be heard as soon as the court's composition was just right ...)
Maybe - the only bigger mistake would have been to procure an extension through 2026, which would prevented the pain until after the election. I couldn't believe that they were actually discussing that option, but, hey - we are talking about the Democrats.
