  1. I always thought his dress style was not man of the people or someone who cares more about the job than his looks. He demonstrates a lack of social maturity by choosing comfort over dressing like a public official entrusted to lead millions. It also shows that he cares more about attention that he receives than the issues. besides it’s just weird to wear shorts when it’s 20 and snowing. I’m not talking about running out to the mailbox dressed that way but leaving your house to spend a day in the senate. His constituents who get up in the morning to work a blue collar or office job (in the office ) do not dress like a 10 year old boy. you want to look like your voters? Put on some jeans, boots and a work shirt. I’m cool skipping the suit but he looks like a fool.
  2. I’m guessing that India is on the verge of signing a trade deal with the US. Trump wants to wave that agreement around proclaiming that it’s the best huge deal of all time. However if the US even slightly backs Pakistan or condemns India, India will tear up that agreement. It’s the perfect time to demand something from Trump even by not asking for that something.
  3. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/07/trump-surgeon-general-nesheiwat.html The Surgeon General nominee was withdrawn due to both her being vague about her education background but more importantly Loomer disliked her. Of course there is also the oddness that her brothers-in-law include the now-disgraced national security advisor, Mike Waltz, and the other one is the lead singer of Creed.
  4. It's just a fact that old people, often in mental decline, and their money are soon parted. Many scams take place in person. Scammers see a house needing repairs and knock on the door to see if the homeowner needs help. An old person answers and the scammers may offer a deal if the homeowner agrees to same-day work. The scammer only needs $1000 to go buy the materials from Home Depot. Even non-old folks have fallen for this scam. Always tell old people in your life to reach out to you whenever money is involved. I knew an retired person that bought a car over the internet. The scammer asked for a down payment to hold the car before the buyer flew to their city to finalize the deal and transfer ownership. My friend said the hell with a down payment, I will send the full amount. smh. There was no car and no one met him at the airport. He was out the full amount.
  5. Democrats often fail to understand that an issue isnt over and accepted by large groups once Dems achieve some goal like a court decision, policy adoption or new law.
  6. Think of all of the problems that DeSantis has created, made worse or failed to address: NASA is on the verge of becoming an agency who's sole job will be to power wash the launchpad once Elon and Jeff's rockets blast off. Disney is quieting leaving FL, as much as they can. They're not closing WDW and never will. Home insurance is bankrupting home owners in FL. Condo owners are faring worse because of that one tower collapse. Increasing red tides, due to agriculture run off and climate change, are ruining coastal waters Finally Trump's mistreatment of the world will greatly harm florida's tourism And this is just what I know. You could also add Florida citizen's teeth to the mix since he just signed off in banning fluoride addition to the water system. Local communities won't be able to make that decision for themselves.
  7. Between bad timing, zero personality and now his obsession of getting his wife to become governor, I see DeSantis fading from the spotlight. Assuming his wife doesn't become governor. DeSantis is similar to Ted Cruz in that he can find a constituency in a red state that will accept him if he's their main choice but he has little opportunity to win when independent votes are needed. Besides DeSantis has set some awful FL policies in motion. In 2028, FL should be much worse off than they are today. He will be a national laughingstock by then, even more than he is today.
  8. Every other week? I must have made a list of suspected morons as I get those texts daily. "Hey. I'm at the restaurant, where are you?" or "why haven't you responded to my last text?"
  9. Last week I was on a flight for the first time for the year. While flying, I like to check the flight map on the TV screen/app. Was completely shocked that United was still calling GOM by GOM instead of Gulf of America. I would have to guess that MAGA types would be up in arms about United going against the President.
  10. I have to guess that multiple producers/writers are hitting up (paying) people involved. This has Tiger King all over it. You also have to guess that there are many sub-stories that haven't made the news as much such as affairs, mistreatment of employees, etc. etc. I'm looking forward to watching "The Turkey Leg Hustle" or "Drumsticks and Dirty Laundry."
  11. It's always strange when a business looks to be successful but the owners seemingly go out of their way to cause it to fail with their actions. I guess that if you're personally taking home $200K you want it to be $500K. And when it's $500K, you want $2M. and so on.
  12. I'm shaking my head at any headlines that mention the shocking exit of Warren. One, he says that he's staying on until the end of the year. Second, he's 94. There is no such thing as a shocking exit for anyone that age. It's not even shocking when someone 94 passes away without warning. Finally, he's been grooming successors for a while so it's doubtful there will be meaningful strategic changes, for those that want that continuity.
  13. if you know, you know
  14. Does the mugshot camera have a "grandma from 1975" filter on it?
  15. If nothing else, this woman is very smart from a business perspective. Whether she stays with Bill or not, she could spin up a Kardashian style reality show in a second and get paid. Attention is the most powerful force in sports and entertainment.
