  1. He will pardon himself for any and all federal crimes. And he probably has something on whats-his-face FL governor, that he will receive the same blanket pardon for any and all state crimes committed in Florida. And while a self pardon is almost certainty not supported by the Constitution, it would take a future Dem DOJ to fight it in courts to strike it down.
  2. If you're unaware, Trump knows more about the World Cup than any American, so he's happy to educate all of us. The FIFA chief also said that no one knows more about football than Trump.
  3. I was getting all of these Tai Chi videos. AI generated. I assume it was for a tai chi program that would pack on 20 lbs of muscle while dropping to 10% body fat.
  4. Honesty Trump is now at a point that nothing can really impact him either financially or criminally. When someone approaches 80, and uniquely has a the ability to claim presidential immunity, his lawyers could tie up any court case well past his death. And even if he somehow lived another 15 years surviving on big macs and cokes, it could always be argued in court that he cannot participate in his own defense and therefore not be prosecuted. Not to mention that even if incriminating videos surfaced of him, his supporters would first say they don't believe it was real, and then begrudgingly admit they just don't care.
  5. Is mostly closed like mostly dead?
  6. The GOP will continue the gaslighting by saying they pushed for the release of the files and the dems delayed it.
  7. Harris County released their 2025 tax bills on their website and presumably the mailed invoices will soon follow: https://www.hctax.net/Property/ViewStatementReceipts For me, the 3 major line items had the following changes for the amount owed: HISD: -6.0% (the tax rate had a slight increase but the exemption was raised.) Harris County: +2.2% City of Houston: +3.4% The minor items range from a smaller bill to the hospital district going up 19%. The overall net increase was +1.3%which is much better than last's year's +12% (the hospital increase is effectively the entire total increase.)
  8. Or even if the Senate does vote, Bondi has assured him that she can bury the request since there's an "active" investigation. I can only imagine the security around these Epstein files and info within the DOJ. They know that all it takes is one person to hand the information to a reporter, and the genie is out of the bottle.
  9. The 3rd quarter sucked but any of would have been happy to see SC up 6 going into the 4th.
  10. I can’t stand her but loving this development. I’m looking forward to when she soon calls Trump a pedophile.
  11. Im not that up on this whole scandal but even if Giuffre never mentioned Trump and perhaps Trump never met her, but aren’t there dozens or more victims? It would stand to reason that Epstein wouldn’t have each of his personal victims meet high level men but is the idea that she was the only victim passed around these men? I assumed the opposite.
  12. Last penny was minted today. It's still legal tender but there shouldn't be more made. I read that it may end up costing the US Mint more because it's more expensive to mint nickels and they may need to up minting more nickels now.
  13. Surprised they’re not reporting about Hillary and Benghazi.
  14. Always found it interesting that the Epstein conspiracy theorists believe he was murdered in jail, but never want to take the next natural leap that it was the Trump administration who murdered Epstein even though Trump was president at the time. imagine if Obama or Biden were Epstein’s friend, and he died under their watch?
  15. I actually don't think most cops, current or retired, would look to fire a gun through a front door because someone knocked on their door early in the morning. If anything, they may not want to ruin their front door. More likely it's someone who in Indiana who watches Fox News or Newsmax 24/7 focusing on the invading hordes from the south.
  16. At this point, the head of comms at many agencies is the equivalent of a meme poster on 4chan, tigerdroppings, or this place! Who knew that years of posting from hornfans to surly has prepared many for a career in govt communications.
  17. Everyone working should be paid on the regular schedule. If Congress and the President can't agree on the appropriations, then shut it down.
  18. I would be interested to know how many GOP members are using today's vote to get something. The last thing the GOP leadership needs is a delayed vote because they can't get their party in order. It's always easier to get something when your vote is needed. Why give away your vote for free.
  19. very wild series. eye opening what drug abuse & poverty would drag down some women. I recall some older hooker (probably 32) negotiating how many cigarettes in exchange for sex with a young customer.
  20. to be fair, Kash was probably flying back in the FBI jet after an overnight date in Nashville and was working on limited info. We shouldn't expect the FBI director to be fully informed before making public statements.
  21. the middle linebacker cop is doing his job. the old man should be aware of that fact and comply by taking the beating. Here's a recent example of this. A citizen was following an ICE agent, who in turn drew a gun on the citizen, who was not committing a crime. The ICE agent faced zero repercussions for illegally drawing his weapon. We have 2 sides to the law when it comes to cops.
  22. I can see that. We all know that anyone only needs to claim that they're in fear of their lives. Gives them cover to do whatever they want. A cop built like a middle linebacker can claim that he was in fear of the 80 year old, 125 lb black man who walks with a cane. Whatever happens next is legal, and the cop can wink at the investigative detective when questioned. In seriousness, the concept is somewhat related to a reasonability test. Would a reasonable person be in fear or need to protect their home from someone on their porch before 7am? From a quick search, it could still have been dark in Indiana at that time, so 6:30 is only slightly lighter than 2am. That gives the homeowner more cover than someone knocking on his door at 1pm. (It's not clear when the shooting exactly occurred. Cops say they found the body just before 7am.)
  23. Google AI on sermorelin: Assuming this worked for children with hormone deficiencies, it would seem logical that it could help adults as well. The biggest problem that I see with longevity medicine is the overwhelming number of them who prescribe, aka peddle, expensive supplement and vitamin concoctions. Turn <1 penny cost of ingredients into a $5 daily pill. If people think Big Pharma has questionable ethics, they got nothing on the doctor in the shopping center who have severed all ties with insurance companies and hospitals.
  24. Very telling that the local cops need over a week to investigate before they will provide more info to the press. Sounds more like the DA needs to consult some legal and PR folks to tell him how best to announce there isn’t enough evidence to even arrest the homeowner much less prosecute. i would guess the police are not investigating anything. but in the homeowners defense, the deceased’s husband only appears to speak Spanish. Not that the homeowner knew that but in 47% of American homes, that is grounds for an execution of the person outside your door.
  25. Very shocked that Fox News had this as one of their top 4 stories on the website. Obama welcomed an honor flight of veterans flying from WI to DC. At least he didn’t wear a tan suit. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/obama-surprises-honor-flight-veterans-arriving-washington-we-very-grateful Video of greeting
