  1. Things are going well.
  2. More like "succeeding". And how many Team GOP have spoken out so far? Shit, they are enthusiastic about this turn of events. No telling what tomorrow will bring.
  3. And here's the text of the email. Just reply back "resign" and that's it:
  4. My wife, a fed, pointed out two things: -the maximum legal buyout for a federal employee is $25,000, and... -there is no money budgeted for the federal government through September 30. The government is working on a CR that will expire in March. So, legally, money cannot be promised or committed by the administration through that date, because once again, Congress controls the purse.
  5. So, so sorry for your loss. I lost dad 3 years ago last week, and I still feel like I'm half the man he was. Man, it's suddenly dusty in here.
  6. If this goes down, imagine what the pricing will be on laptops, phones, etc.
  7. I'm imagining which countries will start the bidding for some of that sweet US Treasury proceeds to house American prisoners. Also, imagine the conditions of those prisons:
  8. More likely they would nationalize them, hand them over to BYD or Geely or some other Chinese EV manufacturer and tell Elon to get fucked.
  9. Yep. Something should have been done in Biden's first 3 years. But an attempt was made, and even the hard-liners in the Senate and House were good with it, until Trump woke up from his nap and decided that any effort would give him one less hammer to use on Biden.
  10. I'm going to go out on a limb and state that if the Starbucks CEO donates something, say, oh, a million to the Trump Presidential Library fund, coffee will be exempt from import tariffs.
  11. Our local high school got into trouble with Georgia Tech around 20 years ago. Seems that one of the students working on the school website used one their yellowjacket logo, but they linked the logo back to Georgia Tech's website, so the GT counsel had an easy time of finding out who was using the logo without permission. The AD and supt received a cease and desist over use of the logo, but GT extended an olive branch: $1 dollar per year, for a 99 year contract to use the logo on courts, clothing, anything the school wanted. The school paid immediately.
  12. A followup:
  13. Damn. Columbia's president isn't fucking around.
  14. Imagine what cocaine is gonna jump to.
  15. Except there was an effort made, until Trump started twisting arms of the GOP senators to make them drop the deal. It included many of the things the MAGA folks wanted. Why, almost a full year ago: https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/25/politics/gop-senators-angry-trump-immigration-deal/index.html
  16. Paid $50k finders fee on top of the cost of the vehicle. Sideswiped by a fucking scooter caused the vehicle to be "totaled". And insurance won't cover the full cost.
