  1. DC has a 70% or so occupancy rate at all the hotels this weekend. It wasn't going to have the crowd that he has to have.
  2. One of the things that Team MAGA was really looking for in the past month is some kind of excuse to completely shut down the US-Mexico border. The excuse they were going to work with was some kind of disease. I fully expect them to weaponize Bird Flu as the rational.
  3. Just so we are clear. He's bringing a 78 year old (Stallone), an 86 year old (Voight), and a relative youngster in Gibson (69). Yeah, I'm sure that will bring back Hollywood to the Golden Age of something.
  4. No kidding. Non-existent or small, or signage signifying exits that are 1/4 mile away when you first see a sign, etc. On my first trip, I was told (pre GPS days) to take 1-9. I never saw a 1-9 sign anywhere. Or a Frontage Road exit. Or anything of the sorts. In 2003 or so, I actually pulled over on the shoulder and I'm squinting at a Rand McNally while trying to figure out exactly what in the hell I was told, and how it coorresponded with what I was trying to accomplish, and still couldn't figure it out. I eventually went to the airport, walked to a line of shuttle buses, spoke to a driver and followed one that got me to the exit I was trying to get at. If it hadn't been for him, I might still be circling the damn place. Last trip was 2017, and by then, the advent of GPS on everyone's phones and whatnot made it easier, but I still had PTSD.
  5. Fun nerdy fact. I created ringtones for my iPhone from the digitized music from this game. Don't Stop Believing from the Steve Perry mini-game is my current tone. EDIT: Here's 3 of the songs from the soundtrack of the game. iPhone ringtone format, each 40 seconds or less in length. Journey Stone In Love.m4r Journey Don't Stop Believin'.m4r Journey Lights.m4r
  6. I've driven into Manhattan (and the other boroughs) 5 different times now on vacation. It was always a bitch, but I understood what I was getting into before I got there. I hated driving around Newark, however. The various highways, 2 different interstates and whatnot around the airport is a fucking nightmare to navigate. Look at this bullshit:
  7. Well, you see, Eisenhower was a RINO.
  8. They (and many, many more) have a pretty good role model that will be taking an oath next Monday. They look at him and think "shit, why didn't I think of that?''
  9. Door Dash, Uber Eats. You rollin' the dice with what happens with your food:
  10. Spoilered, because it is offensive:
  11. They haven't in 8 years.
  12. Great article. https://www.rockytopinsider.com/2025/01/12/an-oral-history-of-the-night-lane-kiffin-left-tennessee-for-usc/ ‘All Hell Broke Loose’: An Oral History Of The Night Lane Kiffin Left Tennessee For USC
  13. What could possibly go wrong. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/us/politics/elon-musk-doge-government-trump.html?rsrc=ss&unlocked_article_code=1.ok4.yWxB.UHq9_1DNTQw_&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&tgrp=on
  14. There's a prayer before every OKC Thunder game.
  15. FYI, Ozempic and Wegovy come from Denmark. Can't wait for the MAGA folk to pay extra for that.
  16. Pentesting is fun. And it's really easy when the target does all the hard work for you.
  17. Speaking of Susie, what's the O/U on her role as chief of staff? 6 months? A year? A true believer like Miller could last an entire Trump term, but Wiles? She'll have a book that she wants to publish at some point. I don't believe she will be willing to take the fall on every inevitable scandal that comes up. There will be something so heinous that even she throws up her hands.
  18. Your faith in this is misguided. We have a Supreme Court that is 6-3. I have no faith at all that they would faithfully adhere the Constitution if the question was put before them regarding his eligibility to serve 2 consecutive terms vs 2 non-consecutive terms, and what the 22nd amendment actually "meant".
  19. This is the same person who took a sharpie to a hurricane track so he could say he was right. So, I fully expect an executive order stating that all federal government business must refer to the Gulf as the Gulf of America from January 20, 2025.
  20. Sure, why not.
  21. I was unaware his term had already started.
