Don't mistake my dislike of Democratic policies and assume i'm a Trump fan. Let's just say the only thing that could change my mind with these hearings would be the sentence he should receive. I am still siding with just letting him die in jail in an attempt to not make it any more political.

Serious question, did you think my statement was sarcastic?

No need for any more of these hearings. Just charge him now.

I'm hoping it was more of an incorrect mgmt decision to buy too much leading to this issue rather than the first indication that everyone in the US has stopped spending on Target type items. I would prefer to roll through this inflationary period without drastic corrections which could just cause different issues. If everyone has stopped spending and Target is just the first to notice it, I fear it's going to be a rough few years. (Also note a rough few economic years means we get President Trump again).

Question for those on this board that have spent the last few years bashing Manchin, if BBB was pushed through, at the numbers Biden wanted, where do you think inflation is at right now? Same, better, worse?

This seems to fit here

Oh how I hope so. I hoped the Tigers would compete for a wild-card this year as well for what that's worth.

I don't think he wants out, but I think the recent crash resulted in him having to leveraging more Tesla stock than he's willing to use. That said, I don't think he really trusts the numbers he's getting as well and truly wants to see the real numbers. It's quite possible that the real numbers might allow him to renegotiate a much lower purchase price. The problem is, those numbers are based on algorithms. Determining how that algorithm detects a 'bot' has some subjective aspects to it.

Down the middle reporting gets you labeled 'librul' by the right and rascist masonginists by the left. I remember telling a friend I liked Matt Taibbi years ago and he was surprised. Now he hates him where I really haven't seen any issue with his reporting, just appears to me Taibbi was focused on issues my buddy agreed with him on before, and now that's not the case.

He definitely exposed the swamp, but also proved he was all to willing to be part of it when it suited him. As for the impeachments, I disagree with the first one. They definitely could have gone more in depth and built a better case, but there is a point of diminishing returns. Dragging it out and not focusing on the obvious parts they did include certainly could have led to less public interest and thus the same outcome, regardless of the facts. They put a case in front of the Senate, where just looking at the facts presented, allowed a guilty vote. At the same time, made the facts around the call clear to the public as well. Obviously wasn't enough, but likely nothing would have been enough. As for the second one, that was simply about putting it on record.

Interested in if they have buy-in from the dealerships to go in this direction.

Arming teachers is nothing but a lazy response that admits you have no interest with actually fixing the problem at hand.

Seriously folks, I apologize for mocking him as 'not as good of a crook' as someone else, which obviously means that he's not the anti-christ and therefore he should be our next president.

I'm still not sure what you're saying. Are you not allowed to point out they are crooks because if you do, that means you want slavery back? What the vast majority of protesters wanted them to be, I can get behind that, which is why I don't have a problem with people saying 'black lives matter'. But again, the organization itself was a self proclaimed pro-marxist organization that took the high profile deaths of some black people and used that to line their pockets. Just like Trump, they found a way to pull money from other people's pockets which is all my original post joked about.

Not sure what you're getting at. In short, the founders of it are crooks. Plain and simple. What you want to believe BLM stands for, that's all up to you.

I need to remember that most of you folks don't ever see any news that doesn't fit a certain narrative that most MSM outlets choose to put out. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/04/black-lives-matter-6-million-dollar-house.html

He just hates BLM because they are better crooks than he is.

I took my daughter to see AJR last night. I know their songs and like them, but couldn't name them for the most part. It's the go-to music in our house when we're all cleaning and the kids are fighting about what to listen to. I walked away quite a fan. Very impressive show.

For people that truly believe abortion is taking the life of a baby, it's not that much of a deflection. That said, funny how the only way to deal with abortion is to make it next to impossible to get one, even if a mother's doctor believes it could kill her. Yet when it's 9-10 year old's lying in a pool of their own blood, there is simply nothing we can do.

Well first, reread what I was responding to and what I added. I didn't say the answer is more guns and say mental health is the issue as I work to cut funding to more mental health programs like most of the GOP does. What I'm saying is in addition to some common sense gun laws, we absolutely should address mental health as well. It is a real problem, healthy people don't just shoot up schools or events just because they realized they have easy access to guns. We're also not getting rid of all the guns here, even if some of the most progressive gun laws were enacted. As such, if someone wants a gun and they are deemed not worthy of having one, maybe it would be good to be a little proactive.

I think there could be some bi-partisan support for most of this even if there was some slight modifications to it. What about this Either 3a or part of 4) checks include social media review and 9) For any of the above reasons you are denied a gun, you are automatically put into some mental health program.

Ultimately that might be needed here. Within a few days we should have a basic idea and it still seems like no one has a clue. A timeline I heard today indicated that within 4 minutes of him entering the school they had him confined to a room and were in contact with him. Even if that turns out to be true and they thought they had a hostage situation at that point, still so many other questions.

Figured this is an appropriate thread for this, I passed my CISSP test today. Last time I really had to study for something my kids were so young, you'd think it would've been easier this time. Just glad it's behind me.

Donaldson is trying to play it off like it was a joke between acquaintances, but I think it was a dig at Tim for comparing himself, in any way, to Jackie Robinson. I don't think it was a racially motivated dig, but simply a gtfo with that type of comparison dig.

I'm pretty sure we both agree on the fact that we don't appreciate you advertising the fact that we agree on something. 🙂
