The Frankish Reich

Oh, you mean these jackasses who were on paid leave for more than 2 years? https://www.foxla.com/news/suspended-lafd-firefighters-called-back-work-after-vax-mandate-ends-could-still-be-fired They're back, and probably crappy firefighters who won't follow orders.

Buddy, he just took credit for the rise in the stock market after the election. And yes, that signals that the markets expect him to add fuel to the fire. And with that comes the risk of higher inflation, and in turn, higher interest rates. You can't have it both ways. I know he thinks you and yours are too dumb to figure that out, but I will give you the benefit of the doubt here.

Or take a look at the landscape that brought us the deadliest fire in recent history, in Arizona. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarnell,_Arizona

I'm not sure at this point if you've even been to southern California, much less hiked on the trails through these canyons. If you had, you would never say something this silly. And not just California: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Fire

You just don't get it. Two old men, both losing it in their own particular ways. One insists on enforcing his own will, regardless of how unfocused (and even idiotic) it may be. One defers to his advisers, who may not espouse the policies you prefer, but who are clearly focused and sane. The former is less fit than the latter. Got it?

Wait a minute, am I Mr. Snob? Or is Doc Ferguson? We're an elite group. Put down the PBR and come join us. The good life awaits (albeit not in Cuba). I'll wait for you before I start muddling the mentha x villosa.

Maybe we should focus on how North Carolina is doing months after a frickin rain storm. I understand the Amish have thrown up a few tuff sheds.

Stick to your Blue label piss water.

https://www.instructables.com/If-You-Love-Mojitos-You-Need-to-Grow-This-Mint/ I'm gonna get a start on this in March. Remember, never plant mint in a planting bed! Always in a container. (I learned the hard way)

Two different things. Yes, California doesn't have the infrastructure to save water in years of excess snow melt, and winds up pitting environmental interests against residential interests. No, there is no such thing as dampening the forests (or scrublands) in any way that would result in any appreciable wildfire prevention.

I always wear my summer poplin suit when I'm participating in canal construction.

Perfect characterization, except that: - no one is "demanding" anything; they are advising at most - nothing in the article mentions "cloth masks," and the accompanying photo shows a man wearing a serious looking mask.

Call me a liberal, whatever. But I've never had that liberal obsession with Cuba. I have no idea where it comes from other than "my enemy's enemy is my friend" thinking, which of course starts with believing that the U.S. government is the enemy. I have no interest in traveling there to subsidize a horrid government.

Yes, it is bonkers. The following are statements by bitter, egotistical old men who act like children: "Yeah, you won, but only because I didn't run." "You cheated, so I should be declared the winner." Such is the state of American politics. There is something to be admired about Jimmy Carter after all, isn't there ...

Someday someone will explain trends to you.

I didn't know California had a Mayor. But if it did, it would be a Democrat.

So why have treasury yields spiked since the election?

I'm afraid Trump never allowed that to be asked as he "weaved" [read: rambled] his way into something Hezbollah ... Glad to see you gave my pre-November posts your quality seal of approval.

Mortgage rates spike up to 6.93%, highest since July. Explanation: inflationary fears due to expected Trump policies.

Dampen the forests!

Exactly. Brush fires, not forest fires.

Q. Mr. President, two questions related to each other. First, you said on your first day of office you're going to pardon January 6th defendants. Are you planning to pardon those who were charged with violent offenses? A. Well, we're looking at it and we have other people in there. And as you see, I guess 24 or 28 people came now from the FBI. That came out very quietly. Nobody reported it, but they had people in some form related to the FBI. They had four or five people that were strongly related to the FBI. We have to find out about that. We have to find out about Hezbollah. We have to find out about who exactly was in that whole thing, because people that did some bad things were not prosecuted.

We're going to be ending the electric car mandate quickly, by the way. This guy loves electric and he -- we don't have enough electricity. And then we have AI where we need more, and he wants to get -- he wants everybody to have an electric heater instead of a gas heater. A gas heater is much less expensive, the heat is much better. It's a much better heat. As the expression goes, you don't itch. Does anybody have a heater where you go and you're scratching? And that's what they want you to have As the expression goes: Perfectly sane. Sane and fit.

I thought you used to say thrice. And whatever. No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American electorate.

What a wonderful thing for the United States to do, to let Denmark off the hook and to take on a basket case like Greenland. $17,500 per Greenland resident last year. Instead of buying or "taking over" Greenland, why not fund their independence (from Denmark) movement, and then promise to double the subsidy if they do it and allow us to do whatever it is Trump contemplates doing with that vast wasteland? NOTE: Greenland's economic output is just a little lower than microstate Andorra's.
