  1. I’m still confused how the defensive line got called for delay of game.
  2. Well, I guess I have been to Keens for the last time. Fuck Fertitta. I just got back from Los Angeles and London. Glad to be back in NYC.
  3. Welp...Elmo and Vivek, Department of Government Efficiency. Just an absolute fucking joke. Elmo shouldn't sniff a damned thing since he lied about his immigration status. Only seems fair. Need to find out if these positions need confirmation. If not, every Republican that bitched and moaned about Obama's unconfirmed czars can go fuck themselves.
  4. Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense. You have to be fucking kidding me. @Anastasis, the thread you asked for.
  5. Were you paying attention from 2021 to 2023? They did push it. It failed in the Senate, where you need 60 votes. Are you being obtuse on purpose?
  6. They used all their political capital in 2009-2011 to get ACA passed. They then quickly lost control of the house in 2011. You know the answer to 2021 - 2023 . They controlled the Senate, but barely, and thanks to Manchin and KS, not really. They couldn't get Manchin to agree to kill the filibuster to enshrine women's rights. But, you could ask the same thing about immigration and Republican control. Look at all the times the GQP has been in control since Reagan. 2001-2003, 2003, 2005, 2005-2007 (they even had a bi-partisan plan and sunk it), and 2017-2019. I mean, the Democrats couldn't even get enough votes in the Senate to get IVF over the hump or the right to birth control. Really think they were going to get a woman's right to bodily autonomy over the hump? Now you have women in states like Texas dying due to lack of timely medical care. While @immamac is droning on about greed, women are losing their lives. If you really want to talk about the two underlying, problems, greed is one (greed for money and power), and the other is people seeing others who are not like them (religion, race, sex, etc..) as other and beneath them is the other. And Evangelical Christians do both of those really fucking well.
  7. @immamac there is no solution. There is a deep seated hate of women, as is evidenced by the misogyny that the moderators allow to go virtually unchecked in various parts of this message board. Step one would be to ban assholes like Johnny Sack, Macklemore and Animal Tobacco for bringing absolutely nothing to the table. Then maybe, we could work on real solutions rather than feeling like we don't fucking matter.
  8. First, I never threatened to quit my job. In fact, what was stated that I can negotiate an ex-pat package and move to the UK (working for a global trading firm has its perks). But I haven't because I am ok to stay and fight (which you must have missed). And I was going to be ok financially no matter who won, and unlike over a third of American women, I live in a state that just enshrined my rights in its state constitution. What I am angry about is men, who have enjoyed a lot of privelege, telling women that we do not matter, which is effectively what you stated upthread. That is why the truce thread is stupid. And also, you have no idea what I have been active in doing. I might not live in Texas, and am safer in NYC, but that also puts me in a better position to help those that need help. I have been traveling for work, but once I am back, we are going to our founding partners, who loathe Donald Trump and everything he stands for, and pitching some ideas to them. With some backing, I think we can do some great things.
  9. That is Midtown East. It isn't really known for its nightlife. That is more West Village and LES/East Village. But, it is central to everything you would want to do, and a little quieter to sleep is not a bad thing.
  10. Sorry, but more than 50% of the population of the United States being told that they don't fucking matter is kind of a big deal. As a man, you may not give a shit, but that is because it isn't your right to bodily autonomy or privacy being taken away.
  11. Seriously? I know this is a really sad attempt at a joke, but read the fucking room.
  12. Men in this country are about to find out how little women truly need them.
  13. I've been saying that Americans are idiots for years. Our resident Trumpers are fine examples of that. The worst part is they aren't just stupid, they are hateful. So it really makes them all around pieces of shit.
  14. The Elysee hotel. I think it's on E 54th. Monkey Bar is in it.
  15. Sorry, been in LA driving around in this. It didn't suck.
  16. Everyone is getting ready for tariffs. We are looking to write down/off and shutter green energy investments. Those investments would have generated high paying jobs in rural communities. Not any more. FAFO. Also, Gulf Coast and Florida, good fucking look. Remember, they want to disband NOAA and FEMA.
  17. It was a global pandemic. Every country sealed their borders as much as they could, even amongst the EU. Trump used COVID 19 as an excuse to not allow people claiming asylum due process. It wasn't a real or lasting solution. So try again. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-administration-closed-borders-migrant-children-covid-19/ What is incredibly disgusting about your stupid and hateful behavior is that if I remember your backstory, your family immigrated from Iran due to the fall of the Shah.
