  1. Yeah, as noted on the thread where this first came up, this is a "common good" site. They're the more intelligent and polite variant of MAGA. The common-gooders do analyze problems pretty well, but their solutions are too moralistic for and probably most of us.
  2. No one has said fraud isn't a problem. We've doubted the amount, locale, and perpetrators of the fraud.
  3. Yeah, white engineers are typically male and kinda have it made, even to this day. Make it a little more rarified and slap a law degree on there and it's still white dude heaven. In firms, we always highly prized women and POC applicants because they were pretty rare. And, as brisket notes, in a field where academics are prioritized, women are highly likely to have beat all the male asses.
  4. Marine biologist. But screenwriter may be worse.
  5. Yeah, what she seems to have meant was the profit margin dropped from 1000% to 600%.
  6. Yep. Rat chere in Texas. https://www.fox4news.com/news/48-texans-charged-nationwide-14-6-billion-healthcare-fraud-takedown Biggest takedown supposedly in US history. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/national-health-care-fraud-takedown-results-324-defendants-charged-connection-over-146 But here, the numbers actually add up. Also, funny, not a single one in the D. Minn.
  7. Probably pretty important to note that "expired US Attorney appointment" pretty much means the appointee is unconfirmable by the Senate. And the Senate confirmed Judge Janine. So, we're talking assclowns like Ed Martin, Alina Habba, and Lindsey Halligan. Add Joe Thompson, the commenter here.
  8. Probably. But a lot of the people behind Trump, like P2025, Thiel and the weirdos, are the kind of Republicans that could never get elected. Trump gave them a free pass From the comments: Thanks for helping us understand how folks end up voting for Trump.
  9. It's still Nike shit yes, but it is a separate entity for licensing purposes. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/florida-makes-big-move-joining-jordan-brands-growing-college-football-footprint/
  10. So, apparently those teams with the jumping Jordan logo have deals with "The Jordan Brand" division of Nike, not Nike per SE. It spills over from time to time.
  11. There's one.
  12. I will say that the article is not that far out there. It does accept that the designation of narco-terrorists is on the same level as ISIS, Taliban, etc., which is not really true.
  13. Well, a lot of em seem to be chickening out.
  14. An article from Reason https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trumps-somali-insults-disgrace-123045459.html This gives you the idea that all of this is more or less cooked up. The Trump administration digs around for some minority group, preferably black, to shit on, and finds some ostensible reason to do so, whether factual or not. And then turns it into eating cats and dogs. And, this would seem to be a sign of Bari Weiss' CBS news following the script.
  15. It's also exploding all over right wing media, as intended. And no doubt where GRU Horn got it. Oh gee, and Chris Rufo has been blathering about it for a month at least. https://www.city-journal.org/article/minnesota-welfare-fraud-somalia-al-shabaab
  16. Funny, child support puts a price tag on the cost of raising children and makes it a point of resentment. But given Texas' low rates, that monthly check is probably less than you'd have spent if you stayed hitched.
  17. So the crime indicted there is about 2.1 million and there's rank speculation that it's half of the Minnesota outlay. They also took shots at Somalians. That is not standard DOJ material to speculate about unindicted crime. This reeks of Trumpian bullshit. And this guy talking, Joe Thompson, is the First Assistant US Attorney, who is usually a pretty apolitical civil servant, an actual prosecutor/trial lawyer. In this case, he's another expired US Attorney appointment from Trump, so a complete Trump hack.
  18. Someone's a lil obsessed.
  19. I do think the Russians to some extent are gruntled by abstract notions of reclaiming Soviet territory for the Rodina. As little good as it does any individual Russian not Putin or an oligarch. It gives them something to be happy about before they pass out. It's just rank nationalism. What you're proud of when there's nothing else to be proud of.
  20. US Naval Institute Press, a formerly credible organization. Authored by, you guessed it (no not Frank Stallone), a USAF LTC.
  21. Same thought. However, I believe permanent residency is the first and a necessary step toward naturalization. And the hardest part to get. The implication also being that they would not have gotten permanent residence without DACA and thus would not be citizens. Edit: Upon watching the video, the husband remains a permanent resident under DACA, but his wife is a citizen. They're fucked up Jesus freaks. Claiming being parents and business owners made them more conservative. She actually seems reasonable, and is opposed to Andy Ogles and might vote for a D if he wins the primary. But it is prima facie unreasonable to not support Ogles while supporting Trump.
  22. This is excellent. Also, complete excretory incontinence. So he just has to sit there and shit and piss himself.
  23. This is also one of those weird sort of interstices in the law. The legislation that created it called it the Kennedy Center. But it didn't say the name couldn't be changed etc. Of course, the pretty strong implication is that Congress created it and named it and therefore only Congress can uncreate it or change its name. Even in the absence of a narcissistic megalomaniac naming it after himself, it's unclear who might have standing to challenge the name change. Like, say the board decided to add the name of a deceased President, say, Jimmy Carter. That would be tough to challenge I think, as neither Congress nor individual legislators often have standing to challenge actions in court. The most obvious legal way to undo this is for Congress to pass an amendment to the existing legislation pronouncing the name to be The Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts and forbidding the Board or executive from changing it.
