I wonder too - gender isn't as much a part of our language as it is theirs, as in a lot of words have gendered forms. It's much more ingrained.

From the C-Span calls today to AC Thompson, it sounds like a big thing on the right now re: Jan 6th is "Pelosi was in charge of security". Put aside the obvious notion "you didn't protect the capitol well enough from the people we think are freedom fighters" as a criticism makes no sense (sense literally doesn't matter) but she is not solely responsible for security of the capitol - cocaine mitch is also equally responsible and narry a single mention of him by any callers *or the moderator* when Pelosi is bashed for this. One caller claimed she didn't call National Guard, and another said that's not in her authority, but other than that, the narrative that Pelosi failed on that day is being repeated without challenge.

The thing with that is we did that in 2016 and it didn't work. We thought he'd be easy to beat. I'm long past underestimating him or the Republicans. That said, the scoreboard does read: Trump lost the house, presidency, and senate while he was president. So the preponderance of the evidence is he's an electoral loser but that side is way more motivated than they've been before and I think more than the dems. I've said it before but I think he is both their best and worst chance to win because he drives people to vote on both sides.

Aaron Rodgers on the manningcast points out his Atlas Shrugged book.

Damn if only he also included motownforums

Not sure if this is the best thread for this, but here's a threat to change the filibuster....

I read something that said this was certainly possible.

Fair.

Good thread.

I think I went to that one too. We went to the entire series of games. Another recollection I have which could be wrong is tigers had a grand slam in the first inning of one of the games

Just coming here to post this one... I dont keep good records but I think I saw his first mlb game, it was at Yankee stadium, I could be wrong.

mtg and crenshaw at war. wonder if we'll see "GOP in disarray!" takes this time..... LOL

Media tying Jim Harbaugh to the NFL. Valenti said some national folks said Raiders, Wilbon Just rooting for him to go to Bears on PTI

My personal opinion is this is one of the best he's done.

And, correspondingly: A lot of where I see it being called a ponzi scheme are from lefties.

I think there might be a real political undercurrent happening with crypto as well, I think the political right is liking it more. Maybe I mean the conspiratorial right? I know someone who is into all that kinda conspiracy stuff and all the sudden he bought $100 in some crypto currency and was checking is phone all the time and shit. As far as I know, the dude has never done any investing before. So it's weird. I wasn't in the old investing thread years ago. Was ballmich in that thread and did he love crypto?

Yeah I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very well read on why we have a federal reserve but it's been my impression it was because things woulda gone to shit without it. But I suppose it could have been more nefarious at least in part? At any rate it seems like that could be an outcome for crypto as well? Honestly that paragraph made me think of libertarians here about a decade ago ranting "audit the fed" and that really gives me a sour taste for these in my mind. I was going to ask about it being part of a balanced portfolio, but your last paragraph really makes me think I don't want my money there LOL. More to mine than its worth? sheesh

The advice/rule of thumb I've heard a lot is that you want your age in percent for bonds/safe stuff. So If you're 44, 44% not in stocks basically. I've got a lot of investments other than my 401k that are 100% stock/index mutual funds, but my 401k is one of those ones that manages based on your goal for retirement year from Fidelity and it's breakdown of stocks/bonds actually does mirror pretty closely to that rule of thumb. Personally I don't follow that. Overall I'm way less than than that rule of thumb across all of my investments. I did buy a big drop of those > 7% I-series bonds from the treasury earlier this year. I might be closer if you count cash sitting in a savings account but still not the ROT percentage.

is crypto a scam or furreal? Most voices that I see that I trust lead toward ponzi. I'm not talking apes/NFTs, just investing in the currencies themselves.

I didn't have anything to do with this. Ok not that much

I saw an article about yet another one of these guys pleading guilty to it just last week.

Also false. It's not over 2 million. That's the number of apprehensions. It's also inclusive of more than the southern border. Which has been pointed out numerous times so you must just be lying willfully.
