I think the renaming of the Dept of Defense was stupid.
I think there was no legit reason to move Maxwell.
I don't think Trump is a pedo, because that doesn't square with his tossing out Epstein because he was a creeper, and poor Miss Giuffre could EASILY directly have implicated Trump but didn't.

Any more questions you disingenuous coward?

It's HER point you moron.

NPR: "We asked them for this interview, but neither responded by the deadline."

They are "personal helicopters", period.
 

Reality ain't popular. It's why politicians lie their asses off.

And?

What's your point?

That we should continue to make things we don't need because they "only" cost $56 million?

I don't disagree that there are bigger things out there, but the bigger things are, the more bloody the fight and in a country split 50/50 that's hard to accomplish.
Look at the FUROR surrounding the obliteration of USAID; this is a program that *started* under the premise of using US aid dollars to funnel toward CIA goals of undercutting foreign governments. In the latter few decades, it has become a $30-$40bn/yr slush fund for woke bullshit if not outright Democrat-promoting propaganda.

Personally, I wish Musk was still in there slashing the SHIT out of the federal budgets, but Congressional Republicans showed their true colors - that they're just a different color of hog, feeding at the fucking trough - so he bailed and I don't blame him.

The federal government needs an AXE on spending. And this is to sacred cows both left and right. I would personally FREEZE spending in all deparments as-is (you could take an average over the last 10y or whatever to smooth out beneficial/detrimental spikes) no inflation increases, until the budget = income.

China's geezer party leaders probably got jealous of all the young whippersnappers having fun, so had to reign it in.

Theory is that's also why the Old Testament was written. "If my wanker no longer works, those wippersnappers are no longer allowed to snap their whips either! Parity of misery, Hallelujah, pass the wine!"

"I like things simple. I really don't deal with milage, or all the other things I consider minutiae. I deal with simple numbers. What this means is not filling out milage reports and the other stuff that clutters up to work. Perhaps I'm eccentric. But I like simple because my actual work is quite complex."

As is my work -- however, my mileage report isn't "minutiae". It' averages $300-$500 every two weeks (I do a lot of driving --- particularly for projects). And the process isn't complicated. Basically a date, destination and total miles per line. In a text file. No clutter -- just a review of my travel calendar for 5 mins every two weeks and another 2-5 mins to transfer that to my expense report. Automagically appears in my pay check 8 days later.

The judge shouldn't allow open-ended searching. NYT should submit candidate search phrases to be used during discovery.

When is Microsoft going to face a similar situation in biz-ware? I doubt MS can change its spots back to nimble quick enough, and will go the way of IBM (who is strangely still alive, barely).

The quantities of water and salt involved are not on human scales.

Not yet, but we are getting fatter.

Ironically Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice, relatively speaking. Greenland was allegedly named by a shipping marketer trying to downplay the ice.

Here's a fix: sell them to Trump just before they start really freezing over. Since Trump doesn't believe in climate change, he'll deny he's being duped, believing the current cold is just random weather that will change back.

(Some argue he knows, he just wants stuff here and now to brag while alive, the future is Eric's problem.)
