  1. I stand corrected. *Almost nothing is permanent.
  2. I mean, something great did happen in those years. It just wasn't permanent. The lesson is nothing is permanent.
  3. If those numbers happen in Texas and Florida, both those states turn blue and both houses of congress have massive supermajorities in 2026 and 2028. Color me skeptical.
  4. I mean, which parts of his assessment do you disagree with? In detail. Did he misrepresent anything or anyone in there?
  5. I'm as critical of the democrats as anyone, but the problem is us. As others have talked about on this thread, the perpetual lying, the flooding of the zone with terrible news and lies, we can't keep up. Humans can't keep up. So they shut off. They could replay those clips 24/7 on CNN, MSNBC, post FB ads, whatever. The people who need to see it will never see it, thanks to Fox news and the like, and the FB algorithms and Twitter algorithms.
  6. By Gawd, that's @jkates's music! He's gonna defend a family of crooked sexual assault covering up pieces of shit as great men again!!
  7. Hitting total wine today for a birthday tonight for a buddy. What would you snobs suggest in the 80-100 range that's not the obvious Blanton's or Garrison Bros type of stuff. Bonus points if it's slightly more obscure. He likes Bourbon, but he's not a snob about it.
  8. You could always pay away the principle with payments and just pay out the rest of the interest on the mortgage timetable. Meanwhile, while I'm at 3.5%, I'm stuck in this thing for another 25 years...sigh.
  9. He literally hired someone who was on Eric Adam's staff. Granted, she resigned. But she was on it. I'm simply saying, DeBlasio, when he was mayor, was NOT popular. Regardless of how Mamdani views him. If the guy wants to be successful, and stick around, I hope he does more than follow that guy's blueprint. Everyone loves Lina Khan, including me.
  10. Chainsaw will never believe it.
  11. Yeah, but those savings go right out the door to buy chili ingredients.
  12. That's not really an answer. People spent years here, justifiably shitting on DeBlasio and Bloomberg, and now you're turning around and pimping the guys who were all over his staff as some transcendent dream team? If Gavin Newsome wins the presidency and hires Stephen Miller is all forgiven? I'm sorry I disagree with your take these seem like great hires. I like Khan. The rest doesn't seem too fucking great. And lets not pretend there aren't a fuck ton of qualified people who could step into the NY political machine. Don't act like there's 10 people out there total and this guy just nailed the top 4. "There's just not a lot of experience" isn't a reason to tout hiring a bunch of Jeff Fisher's of NY politics, even if that were the case, which it isn't.
  13. I mean, the resumes seem fine to good, but 3 out of the 4 names have ties to fucking DeBlasio, with a smattering of Bloomberg in there. Not actually guys known for having popular or even populist mayoral runs. Some might cynically call that shit The Swamp.
  14. Not sure how much of textbooks are digital these days, I assume all of them. Which hopefully makes adding removed sections easy. I was assuming Osoff was dead in the water this cycle, but maybe I have a bit of hope now.
