Stumpy

Speaking of EVs - I've just been offered a really good deal on a taycan wagon by a friend. Sorely tempted....

Joe Rogan seems to gain some measure of credibility from the things he DOES know about that then seems to carry over into the other BS he covers. I have never really understood the appeal

Reduce, reuse, recycle. As it should be.

Except the "reduce" part of that is kinda being ignored...

Oh no he's right - I definitely believe in socialism. It definitely exists.

It will be good to see Rudy living in a cardboard box at the back of Walmart....richly deserved before he starts his jail term.

He'll probably get a room at the four seasons.

He's a South African skydiver who started this forum 20 some odd years ago.  There was a now-famous meetup at Eloy where all the moderators (at the time) got together with him to do an 8-way.

Hate to make you feel old - but I was here 22 years ago, and I wasn't early to the party  I remember when you were still a duck.

This is exactly why I think most of the leading flat earthers are just taking the piss.

This has been my suspicion for a while. No one is THAT dumb.

Don't confuse skeptics and deniers. Deniers aren't that bright and are the ones still trying to make arguments of things they don't really understand, based largely on soundbites from articles they haven't read.

Skeptics are now by and large convinced.

I'm with you. Of all the moronic, self serving, mind bogglingly stupid things the current government has done and is doing, this is right up there - its at least in the top 25 or so.

Thats what so funny. All of their shouting at clouds doesn't do them any good. I wonder if they vision themselves as valiant warriors holding back the tide.

King Canute would have something to say to them

You're going that way to join them rapidly as well

s, it would be nice to have a rational person in that seat

There are rational R's?

There is also that, leaving santos in place probably does more damage to the R's than the D's

Raskin (and, I assume a number of others) voted against expulsion for this very reason and it's a valid point.

Sadly, I think if the shoe was on the other foot the opposite would not be true.

This.

I do OK - I'm up there in terms of salary. There are MUCH much richer people than me who pay much less income tax.

I am a proponent of getting rid of all taxes/fees except income tax.  IMO that represents the true ability to pay.

If only it were that simple.

Tough day for Republicans.

 

Thoughts and prayers.

But also a tough day for the UFC - bud light is repulsive stuff.

Not sure where to put this - but I'm not exactly sure what "Ultra MAGA Honey" is....

but goes with 'they/them/their

I have a few trans people working with and for me - "they" as a pronoun is the only one I struggle with because I often get it confused with a plural, It's no big deal though.
I've had employees transition while they worked for me as well - usually get it wrong a few times but as long as you aren't doing it intentionally no-one minds. Its so much NOT a big deal I do wonder at the mentality of people such as those higher up in the thread who seem determined to be assholes.

The main reason it's never been ruled upon is that we've NEVER had a President commit the crimes that Trump did.

I'd suggest that Trump's a fantastic example of why it shouldn't be a thing.

Luffy King of the Pirates!!!! I love that guy. The Dems just go with what their leaders tell them with no discussion or debate. (Biden debates no one these days) Mindlessly....The Repubs are weeding out the Rinos....

can we all agree that attacks on civilians outside of world at war scenarios, where millions of lives are at stake and options are few, are war crimes? 

Agreed.
