  1. I think 18 years is too short. I would go with 24. That gets you through 3 maximum presidencies, something we only saw twice in history. (Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Clinton, Bush, Obama). I think you keep the spirit of a lifetime appointment. It would have affected these recent justices. Breyer, Ginsberg, Thomas, Rehnquist, Scalia, Stevens.
  2. I tried to go to a Tampa Tarpons game last week but it was rained out.
  3. Peters seems uninspiring to me. Nothing against him at all but I am not sure most Michiganders would even know him. 😜
  4. but I still don't get why Kyle classified it as SC reform. It's Executive Reform, as in, defining procedures and safeguards for the Executive Branch. It doesn't affect the SC other than address/clarify one of their rulings, but that's not what I would call Reform.
  5. I'm confused about why #1 is about the SC? Is he proposing a specific bill to address that? I don't see that as SC reform though.
  6. "Good POBO's find a way!" Expecting to see a lot of that nonsense on twitter over the next few days
  7. My neighbors do that. I just got back from Florida. We've gone 3 times since 2021 on the gulf and I love it. But of course when you are on vacation and steps from the water, it's nice. The heat doesn't bother me. Last year we did Pacific Beach in San Diego and that.... is how I could live.
  8. Unrelated.... but the Villages sounds like a horrible place to live.
  9. Thanks for this.
  10. If not for a writers strike that prompted the networks to realize that “reality” shows were cheaper to produce and in the end even with reduced ratings be just as profitable as a more scripted show.
  11. Frankly I question the intelligence and morality of any trump supporter. In case anybody wondered where I stand. And it’s not political. He made run of peopl like my son and if you are ok with that then there’s a fundamental difference between us.
  12. He cannot stand that he’s being made fun of.
  13. So was Jesus a sandwich?
  14. This isn’t a TV show where things get wrapped up in a half hour. It’s being investigated. They aren’t going to give a press conference every time a detail emerges. The USSS will keep things close so as to not reveal protection standards.
  15. I was at the game and know nothing more than what I saw. Any further details?
  16. there’s 17 people in the Paris photo. And no food. Isn’t food a requirement for a supper? It’s just 17 people facing the viewer at a table? Did Da Vinci corner the market on all subjects facing the viewer?
  17. No, not those wankers. The judean people’s front. life of Brian made fun of radicals. But the religious critics are too stupid to realize it.
  18. Is it assumed to be the last supper because a bunch of people are on one side of a table? Seems to me like if you are framing a group at a feast than you want their faces shown. What makes it the last supper isn’t the way they are sitting. It’s who is in the picture. I didn’t see a Jesus in France.
  19. By the way I saw this explanation that it wasn’t even meant to be “about” the last supper. I don’t care enough about it to research but as it is with most art people see what they want because they want to convey a certain reaction.
  20. Besides… I counted 16 people in one of those and only 13 in another…. So I’m not sure the alleged mockery fits. Fake outrage.
  21. People were not truly offended. They are just looking to pick a cultural fight because it’s good for business. I’m sure at the real last supper they were not seated that way.
  22. This sums up the problems with the right wing take on culture. You either have to love it or hate it, rather than just accept some differences and move on and ignore it if it’s not your cup of tea. Nobody forced or expects Christians to have to “like” it. The world doesnt revolve around them. Christianity was not attacked by that. Only snowflakes are offended by it or people that just want to bitch about stuff because they lead miserable lives and want everyone else miserable too. But it makes a great fundraising opportunity for the professional grifters so expect some Huckabee commercials coming soon on Fox News.
  23. That says more about Muslims.
