I'll miss Karin Jean Pierre. She was worth a laugh a week. I'll especially miss how she pronounced the Nobel Peace Prize. Over and over she called it the "noble peace prize." She never understood that it was a family name and not an adjective. I could never understand why someone didn't pull her aside to inform her, but it was always worth a laugh. Not "noble" of her staff, or maybe they were just as stupid.

If the people of the US were serious about this they'd quit electing people with this mindset to this Congress. They're not, and they don't, because as long as they can kick the can down the road, and finance at US Treasury rates, it doesn't effect anything. Until it does.

Well, cutting 25-30% of the annual budget would certainly have an effect, a fatal effect. Let's see what happens. Either way, we are in way better hands than we were, and these are serious, successful people who have actually done things other than wasted money, over and over and over again.

It isn't nothing. What is ridiculous is stating that it should be done in one year, which would be 25-35% of the entire US budget.

Your's is a ridiculous suggestion, and it is not a useless band-aid. Cutting 2-3 trillion in an annual US budget is preposterous.

I would absolutely be a participant in that thread.

Worse than not even being aware that he signed a ban on the export of liquified natural gas, which he absolutely did, and didn't know? Thank God this is over.

Bizarre. Disassociated and bizarre.

You don't have the ability to "butt hurt" me in any way, ever. I think you're a goof; ill informed on this particular subject, and spell correct algorithms don't change 51 to 15.

I am not sure who you are calling a MAGA idiot, but if that is aimed at me, you are crazy. Regarding Area 51, or 15 as you called it prior to calling someone an idiot, the media pukes out a lot of stuff, not all of it accurate. I have a good deal of experience operating in the Nellis Operating Area, where this area is, and they would not shoot you on site. There are significant geographic boundaries, and you would be "encountered" and strongly assisted in turning around and getting out, but definitely not "shot on site." But you saw a documentary.

Area 15? By the way, if you happen to set foot on Area 51, you won't be "shot on site."

At the risk of a canard in this thread, I aver that it is quite good. His kid bought the property and hired true pros to run it. Well run, and great product, and I am quite familiar with this industry in the Monticello wine viticultural are, where I grow our grapes. If you ever want to come down, pm me. No animosity towards folks of different political views, but the product here has gotten really good in the last five years, owing to the dedication of really good people in the last 20 years.

Sure. Chestnut Oak Petit Verdot. By the way, and commenting on another post in this thread, Trump's kid's winery is a few miles from here, and very good. He has nothing to do with it, but quite good, if you're ever in the neighborhood.

We won a silver in the Virginia's Cup for our 2020 Petit Verdot. Not worth a nut, but not bad.

This is an issue that is only used against the opposition. Eisenhower. Kennedy. Johnson. Clinton. Heck. Martin Luther King, honored today, was a serial adulterer. It is what it is.

Absolutely frightening, but not something e didn't know. Confidence in our gov the last year an a half? Watch this. Biden has had no idea.

So typical of NBC crap. She throws out an editorial comment that is misleading, then says "lets move on." I watched the Today Show, another NBC production the day after Biden pardoned Soros. They reported the pardons and named some names, but never mentioned Soros, who was clearly "the" stroy.

But cannot be read except by teleprompter, Pause.

Small technical point, but that is not Air Force One. Air Force One is only designated that when the president is on board. Further, that is a 757, usually used for the Sec of State, VP or others.

Schiff was as expected, just a complete goof, and I thought Bondi humiliated him. No surprise. The real disappointment was Tom Kaine, who has a history of snuggling up to Bill Clinton, going full offense regarding marital issues. He was his usual ill-groomed self, looking like he just got out of bed, but he's usually a bit more classy and disciplined than that crap show. Just horrible. Overall, the Dems looked like they were in election tantrum mode and acting out. I respect them less and less.

Banning birth right citizenship is a necessity. Grossly abused and should have been done away with years ago.

I believe it is you that can't understand the point. If a population decides to throw off a gov, it can be done, and it isn't that hard.

Typical, absolute nonsense. No surprise.

Cubans can decide what they want to do, just like the Americans did in 1776. If they choose to remain under their current gov, let them. If they choose otherwise, so be it. Not our issue to lead them to water.

Nonsense. Cuba aligned itself with the Soviet Union for economic and political reasons. The "base" thing is a red herring. I get the sympathy for Cuba, but they have chosen their path for decades, and it is what it is.
