  1. The GOP will look for carve outs for rural white folk. They don't see that as handouts.
  2. Trump and Cohen were POS in renegotiating bills that they thought were too high. In other words, allow vendors to negotiate "high" prices up front so they will agree to the job, but then refuse to pay that price when invoiced.
  3. The X community notes says that X is asking partners to pay $40k or more to keep this feature. While Nintendo would probably roll their eyes at being asked to pay. $40k, they would do that without a second thought. You know that Elon is asking for millions if not tens of millions which wouldn’t be on anyone’s available budget at Nintendo. elon makes bad decisions that lowers X’s revenue and then he expects loyal and good customers to make up the difference.
  4. TikTok channel that likes to point out the ridiculousness that is Trump. They first notice that Trump, outside the courtroom, this week referenced that Biden is a liar especially lying about his (Biden’s) golf game. And then it got them noticing that Trump’s lawyer asked Stormy Daniels about Trump’s golf tournament on the weekend he paid her for sex. The question being that “didn’t Trump do well in that tournament?” To which Stormy replied that she has no idea. the presumption is that Trump made his lawyer ask that question which has zero to stroke his ego. And this channel says that Trump finished 62nd out of 79 amateurs probably due to the fact that he couldn’t keep his own score. Averaged 89 per round. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLVWgqSb/
  5. Britt just introduced legislation to create a govt website, pregnancy.gov, to provide women with information regarding their pregnancy. On the face of it, that is a great idea. Of course the entire point of this site is to shame women to not get abortions, up to and including having govt employees/contractors call any pregnant woman who mistakenly provides her contact information. the site will list all “pregnancy crisis” centers who exist to talk women out of pregnancies, but will expressly reject any center that provides abortion or even abortion information.
  6. His best strategy now is to delay delay delay, hoping for a Trump victory and pardon next January. If he is given 4 weeks to appeal to the full DC court, the will appeal 5 minutes before the office closes on the 4th week.
  7. Do any of them ever pay their legal bills without being sued?
  8. Too many far right (& far left) are going down the sovereign citizen path. Perhaps some are not full on card carrying members, but they seem to think that law enforcement has zero authority over them. In that video, the moron thought that because he has a right to remain silent, he can just drive away. Does he really think that you can drive/migrate to America by staying silent. Of course we all know that he wanted to be allowed to drive on because he's white. And as far as staying silent, you can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride.
  9. There must be some type of payment or even expense reimbursement for delegates. The grift never ends. Put Barron on the list, and the FL GOP will pay for one of the Trump private flight trips to DC or wherever. For a flight that Barron was already going to be on.
  10. More testimony on how Trump spoke often to his business execs and signed checks while he was POTUS. What a surprise that he said he wasn't going to do this during his Presidency but obviously lied once again.
  11. And you can add error handling right in the formula. Basically Microsoft fixed Vlookup known limitations with Xlookup. VLOOKUP still works though.
  12. PSA. ERCOT is warning that electrical reserves will be lower on Wednesday because of the temps will hit 90 in many parts of Texas. An unheard of heat spell for Texas. As of now, they’re not asking us to conserve electricity especially if you are paying north of 15 cents per kWh.
  13. the Trump voters in my circle of friends (50s, male, mainly white) have made comments about voting for Trump because of the economy. I push back asking them how they're not thriving under the Biden economy. I understand that many Americans are struggling but not homeowners with solid careers in upper mgmt. And Trump voters can't complain about federal taxes since we're operating under Trump's taxes not Biden.
  14. Compete bs if she's ultimately given a break about blatantly lying about meeting with world leaders especially such a unique meeting with Kim Jong Un. I could even forgive a book passage written by a ghost writer and she's too lazy to read her book. That's weak but at least honest. But presumably she spoke the words in the audio book. Either she thinks so little of the public that she openly spoke a lie and/or she read the words without having the ability to comprehend what she was saying.
  15. valid points. The lakes and rivers on the eastern side of Texas have the capability to bounce back much faster when droughts occur. Some of the western and southwestern might be unlikely to recover.
  16. Whether it's Trump or his lawyers potentially lying, but I don't think that would be perjury. Non lawyer opinion. But I could see it being contempt of court to lie to the judge about why you want a day away from court. And honesty, why in the world are we bending over backwards to allow Trump to see his son's graduation. This isn't rearranging a business meeting. It's a criminal court. However one thing that I would add for Trump's defense here is that he can do something in addition to attending Baron's graduation, including a MN fundraiser. Now if he ends up not attending the graduation, the judge should hammer him with a large contempt fine. And not a fine that would hurt most of his, but hurt someone of his supposed wealth.
  17. Not an expert but it's not difficult to identify a trend on this page. The second chart is interesting in that we're always a decent percent off statewide total capacity of the lakes so let's hope that many of the problems of the last decade are not the norm.
  18. I hope that McDonalds keeping their $10 refund was worth it. I don’t blame them but just as most stores are told not to stop thieves, I would think that they could be taught to give an agitated customer a refund, free refill, more fries, whatever. Even if the employees are not taught that, people should just realize to do basically do whatever is necessary to calm the situation.
  19. Yes, and from the AP clerk's testimony today, she made it sound like there were frequent Fedex packages going down to the White House with checks for Trump to sign. And even forgetting that he said that he wouldn't run his business, this tells me that he must have spent a sizable amount of time running the Trump Org from the WH. You can't tell me that he spent 30 seconds signing checks. I bet he was on the phone back with Eric/Don Jr. asking questions. There was always an mystery as to exactly what Trump was doing when his daily schedule has several hours per day of "executive time." The MFer was running the Trump Org.
