The stakes this November are your ability to stop working for your boss before you die. Do not come @ me with actuarial tables. I've known too many otherwise healthy people who dropped within a year of retirement at 65 because they "finally had time" to get regular medical appointments.

That is something.

Looks like its "Get Right Day" for Tiger hitters.

I like the idea of Zinter replacing Zeitler eventually.

Worth a look Meet the notorious characters who call Trump Tower home - Curbed NY A History of Trump Tower and How It Made Donald Trump (curbed.com) Trump Tower - Wikipedia Is Bruce Willis still there?

Yep...the people who are going to call Hunter Elward a hostage are the people we need to fight.

The railroad plan or Transportation Plan was very important. That plus the deterioration of overall capability caused by the Oil Campaign were very impactful on the flexibility and resilience of Germany's war machine. I'm not arguing that so much as the fact that D-Day, while a huge milestone, wasn't as big a deal as Big Week for wrestling control of the air from the Luftwaffe. Re: D-Day importance: the episode where they are at the Flak House and oxford has the reference to a Second Front and the Woodie Guthrie song which are explicit signifiers D-Day's importance. I will offer another criticism that was mitigated somewhat by Cros' affair with Westgate, he comes across as a bit too "I was just doing my job" while everyone is offering up hosanas to his superb navigation skills. I mean, it does help to base a show or movie on a memoir if the memoir is somewhat self-deprecating.

Oh, poor Alina If you induce someone to settle as a supposed friend and then turn around and work as lead attorney for the person who stands to lose if the person sues... is that wrong?

The degree to which the sanctions and the eyes of US CI are on Trump's operation will impede things combined with the delusional hold over his followers leads me to think this will result in farcical attempts to evade sanctions. I can imagine Trash Can Man (from The Stand) stealing a nuke to deliver to Iran on Trump's behalf.

D-Day wasn't as big a deal because no opposition in the air.

have yet to watch the final episode. My overall critiques of the series is that they should also do a proper Tuskegee Airman series as well which spends some time on the post-war history which is very interesting. They didn't focus on Big Week which was the critical back breaking of the Luftwaffe.

He represents the important demographic of Russian operatives who love ostrich.

she's not wrong. I can only hope down-ballot Republicans suffer a lot of pain because of this and somehow this results in breaking the illusion that this guy cares about anyone but himself. Hopefully that happens in time to save democracy.

Alina Habba probably worried about what she's going to use to pay her mortgage after working for nearly a year for free. Probably wishes she were smarter and asked for her retainer up front.

Yeah, guy with a direct role in Russian operations in Ukraine...Ukraine is screwed if Putin gets Trump back in office.

Joe's people are putting the right frame on this

hopeful trend

So, Trump couldn't get a surety bond on his $450m owed to NY State? Woops. Nice building you had there, Donnie.

One thing that bugs the crap out of me are all my fellow vets harping on me to apply for disability for my service related injuries. I don't have any really. I could maybe have some hearing loss from trying to listen to HF radio through USAF EC130 Compass Call jamming while working an exercise in Battalion Air Liaison Office during the first half of my career. It wasn't pleasant but it sure as crap wasn't some sort of combat wound. I never actually saw any combat during my time 1987-1995. I had some really stressful days later where I had to deal with the consequences of an inflight emergency as the command post operator but that was indoor work and I was in no physical danger. I had a monster headache after my shift but well, that's just stress. I hate to see a guy claiming 10% for hearing or some other vague symptom and getting a check every month when he's shamming the system and there is a guy out there who had his truck blown to crap driving an MSR in Iraq with no legs or whatever getting not that much more than the shammer. I lose a lot of respect for my fellow vets when they try to make me complicit in such sham disability claims.

Sorry...its only 4 of 44 who endorsed. The 40 are the ones who have rejected Trump. My bad...tired.

This is amazing

according to one tweet 4 out of 44 Trump cabinet officials and other senior officials from Trump admin refuse to endorse him or have warned about a second administration being the end of democracy.

MAGA: Pence shouldn't hold grudges over something so trivial as the sainted Trump sicking a mob of self-righteous idiots on him which had brought its own gallows with it.
