Unfortunately it has more to do with the fact it’s an off year and MAGA has a lot of the low information voters now. So now Dems do better on off cycle elections because educated people are more likely to realize they are happening and important.
Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
The headline is really dumb. Why are they even asking him to begin with when there are a bunch of senators around to talk to?
They already took the healthcare, Democrats want to put it back.
Trail of tears was assigned reading when I went to school. Granted quite a while ago.
Yeah but it’s devastating to resale value. A gem twice the size can be worth orders of magnitude more than the other. Talking about reducing something worth probably a third or half billion dollars to maybe a few million in scrap value.
I mean there is an entire black market of stolen paintings in private collections, so clearly not impossible.
“This project is being funded by private sources. The project budget is currently x.” Pretty sure that’s what you get back. Wording FOIA requests is like talking to fae people, whatever level of specificity you use they will try to bend to the absolute minimum of understanding and if you demand anything too outright they will just say no those are faerie secrets.
They don’t even teach money management or personal finance. When I was in school the HomeEc teacher taught everybody how to at least balance a budget, along with cooking and sewing. I remember being annoyed that they didn’t go into any kind of investment management.
Almost 4 decades later and kids get none of that.
There are websites and or apps like meetup where you can find new hobbies and friends. As for anxiety, you may as well pick up one of cognitive behavioural/anxiety workbooks. It’s likely your therapist will prescribe something like it as homework anyway and it’s best to know what you want to talk about ahead of time as starting therapy can be awkward. Also I liked the book “In the face of fear, Buddhist wisdom for challenging times”
This would be a great time for people to split bulk things at Costco, maybe if they get used to it they will continue doing it too.
And it costs 9 billion a month for SNAP. Or do you mean that they intentionally only funded the emergency fund for a half a month? Because I could believe that.
I mean the money does complicate things because it’s like a half a month of funding. Which raises legitimate questions if they are unwilling to pull the other half from somewhere else. Like do the most needy get a full payment, does everybody get half payments, some formula between the two that means tests distribution? The government is shutdown, so who is going to calculate and do any of this?
There are of course solutions and answers to all those questions, but nothing as simple as "release the money "
I didn’t think he was, isn’t that Thune?
AI wrote that tweet, or probably more likely Stephen Miller.
And they will be subsidiaries of Trump and his family or paying him kick backs.
6 months later. Johnson and Johnson owns Texas after counter lawsuit.
This iteration, wait until people start wanting it to chop wood or do any kind of farm work.
Truth Predict is the dumbest fucking name
It’s actually the opposite. Congress gets paid and should be working during a shutdown. Although shutdowns shouldnt even exist and only came out of an AG memo from the Reagan administration.
