  1. Rough day at Torrey, in the rain, 13 players currently under par; with the late tee times playing their back 9. Good thing this is a no cut event, or some big names would be missing on the weekend.
  2. He said 50%, not+/- 50%
  3. Do you think President Huff and Puff cares about about the actual implications anything that he says? 2 minute time out for CR posting - self imposed
  4. I think we have been there since about 1980, which is the last time I was paid in cash. Since then there were a few jobs that I was paid with a check, but mostly it's been direct deposit. So the digital US dollar been around about 50 years, and that's just for me.
  5. Derka was ahead of the curve on this one, as the President today ordered the Treasury to stop minting pennies https://www.reuters.com/world/us/billionaire-trump-says-times-up-lowly-us-penny-2025-02-10/
  6. He will declare that everything he does is an official act as the President, and state he has already been told he can't be held legally responsible for those acts. So technically the Supremes basically will have fucked themselves over, and the whole country is along for the ride
  7. Clap, Clap Clap, Clap, Clap
  8. Overrated! Overrated! .....
  9. Speirhcoaster in full thrill mode; and Scottie says hold my beer
  10. Well That is your opinion
  11. IMO - many people that I know who say Trump is a good/great president, are saying it as a comparative statement. In their minds and words, he is better than Obama, than Hilary would have been, and than Sleepy Joe. Let's face it, this past election was the worst choices - for varying, and different reasons - that I can remember. But then again I have only been following these things since the 1976 election. And I did some work for the Udall campaign (and you know why....there were more and better looking girls in his office).
  12. https://surlyx.com/JBPritzker/status/1887949566525186554 nope (14) JB Pritzker on X: "An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois. https://t.co/irh7UtwEOe" / X still nope (14) JB Pritzker on X: "An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois. https://t.co/irh7UtwEOe" / X welp - so much for that
  13. whole lotta bullshit (bearshit) posted on this thread since 10/31 (which is when mooseoutfront last posted here) btw - get your envelopes stamped and sealed and sent in; the ice contest started taking entries on Feb 1 Tickets | Nenana Ice Classic
  14. yeah well that all sounds good - except it is replacing corruption and deception with new and improved deception and corruption MAGA would be losing their minds (again) if Dems put recent grads as moles/operatives into Gov't agencies, treated our largest trade partners as fodder for the Supreme leaders ego, and put Dem oligarchs into high level positions. But you just go ahead and convince yourself that this is just normal, and these people won't harm the rank & file citizens.
  15. I have 6 of those lovable little critters - 9,8,7,7,5,2. And nothing pleases me more than when they get together and play with each other. I just sit back and smile. "Grandchildren are God's gift to you, for not killing your children"
  16. Sure they can cut a ton of people, they have already given notice to US AID; and yes there are programs that are crap, but US AID also is the US exerting it presence into developing countries. And when we stop providing assistance, then the China, India, Russia would but can't, will step in and gain or expand their foothold/influence around the globe. Also, note that US AID is also an agency that provides cover to US operatives (CIA, FBI, etc) - allegedly. So if President TrumpMusk can pull the plug on that without even looking at any consequences; then they will damn near certainly layoff large groups that they don't understand what it is that they do. Musk was on the edge of bankruptcy several times at Tesla, and pulled a rabbit out of his hat; IMO he is way out of his league trying to fix the problems in US gov't organizations. Trump gave him this task as a reward for donating over $250 million to the campaign.
  17. Scotties scorecard looking very Jordan'esque
  18. I haven't read all the posts but we've ended up here because of many steps along this path, including: - courts recognizing corporation rights to make political contributions. And thereby funding super PACs. Money is more important than voters. - the supremes allowing almost unchallengeable presidential immunity. - congress rule changes, like super majority, that push more power to the fringe/extreme of each party and stopping historical central bias making it a polarized body. Leaving behind bipartisanship, coalitions, and compromise. - picking political candidates that are best at bullying and bad mouthing opponents (even within their own party). - congress realizing that their main job is being reelected, maybe because it is much easier to front run investment decisions based on insider information. I could go on, but already risk tl:dr status
  19. sit right down and I will tell you my tale of woe it is 1987 and I started a new job, the CFO gives me a copy of a Berkshire annual report and says read it because it is the best financial report he has ever seen. He was right, plain language, no bullshit, no technical talk, just tells what they do. But I'm young and broke and BRK was about $3,500/share, paid no dividends, and no buybacks (nobody did that back then). That company was sold a few years later and I did have a little money, but by then BRK was almost $7,000/share; seemed to expensive for me. So for the lack of buying it then I have several million $$$'s less now. Einstein was right; compound interest (or returns in this case) are the eight wonder of the world
  20. maybe they opened the wrong valve; I'm almost certain they will get it right with the 2nd try, or the 3rd.
  21. So, let me see if I understand this, the long play to get rid of birthright citizenship is because of that remains the law then anyone born in Gaza after is becomes part of the US would then be citizens. His moves are 5-D chess (or maybe wild card only uno)
  22. Tiger announced that his Mom passed.
  23. I was going to post that I could support a US SWF, but only if it was managed by Nancy Pelosi. But I won't post that, because it is too CR for this thread.
