Joe Ferguson forever

Didn’t listen. This guy is one the biggest snake oil salesman in the world. I swear he has a forks tongue. But if the D’s blocked it without another reason then they are disgraceful too. Now would be a good time for the Rs to show their decency. It would be a popular win.

If they did nothing wrong, they are not in any jeopardy. Epstein was convicted in 2007 on prostitution charges involving minors. What "innocent" person would have anything to do with him after that? redacting the victims name is actually protecting the innocent. So who is gullible?

Are we to take the statement that Guthrie was the victim from R's as gospel? At a minimum, these emails show that trump had knowledge of abuse and possibly trafficking of underage girls by Epstein. That doesn't bother you? The biggest question to you and all the trump sycophants: Why not release all the files and let them exonerate him? Why work so hard to stop their release?

Why would innocent people be hurt? Why would innocent people be associated with Epstein after his first arrest? Maybe he means Bannon. That horse is out of the barn.

Boebert has confirmed the meeting in the situation room. Bondi and Blanche were there. It has not been confirmed that Patel was there per CNN. Recall that Blanche conducted a "fact finding" interview with Maxwell. edit. Patel and Boni were confirmed there. Blanche not yet.

the dam has broken. much more to come...and the usual suspects here will still defend the greaseball mobster when it's obvious he was in up to his neck. Why? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15285457/Epstein-claims-photos-dirty-Donald-bikini-clad-women-new-emails-released-REPUBLICANS.html

and it's not just jobs requiring advanced degrees... https://fortune.com/2025/11/12/ford-ceo-manufacturing-jobs-trade-schools-we-are-in-trouble-in-our-country/

Why didn't a reporter ask Leavitt "Why is it so important to trump that he has an 11th hour meeting in the situation room with Boebert to get her to remove her signature?" "What is he hiding?" would be another good one. Seems some maga's are asking themselves these obvious questions but not on PPP... https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5602400-trump-boebert-mace-epstein-petition/

Some insight into some young "Christians" thinking from a conservative journalist. We've seen similar thinking on display here. https://roddreher.substack.com/p/what-i-saw-and-heard-in-washington "Not every DC Zoomercon who identifies with Fuentes agrees with everything he says, or the way he says it. What they like most of all is his rage, and willingness to violate taboos. I asked one astute Zoomer what the Groypers actually wanted (meaning, what were their demands). He said, “They don’t have any. They just want to tear everything down.” Then he went on to explain in calm, rational detail why his generation is so utterly screwed. The problems are mostly economic and material, in his view (and this is something echoed by other conversations). They don’t have good career prospects, they’ll probably never be able to buy a home, many are heavily indebted with student loans that they were advised by authorities to take out, and the idea that they are likely to marry and start families seems increasingly remote. Moreover, they grew up in a country that had lost its common culture. Many of these young men are fatherless. Most of them spent their youths being told that as whites, and especially as white males, they are what’s wrong with the world. Their own speech was policed with Stasi-like ruthlessness for racism and bigotry, while people on the Left routinely slandered whites, males, Christians, and heterosexuals — and were even rewarded for it. F—k that, seems to be the reaction now. Fuentes is a living, breathing illustration of what Hannah Arendt meant when she spoke of people willing to revel in transgression such that they tear down the pillars of civilization, just for the fun of seeing those who had been gatekept away breaching containment.

computer science is a popular field. Not so much with nursing or the other fields I mentioned. Because it appears that there are enough computer science grads, it does not follow that there aren't shortages in other highly skilled jobs or other jobs requiring difficult, extensive schooling. I don't see you point.

Who ya got? Even money. https://kalshi.com/markets/kximpeach/president-impeached/kximpeach-29

Then the R's and trump have nothing to hide. Why are they fighting so hard to stop release of the files? Even many maga's are asking. The only people not asking are trump ball lickers. ?

There's no shortage of sources who disagree with you. I can only personally speak to health care staffing. Many of the lower paid medical specialities eg Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Psychiatry are heavily staffed by foreign medical grads. Nurses are in great demand and many are now recruited from afar. During my recent post op stay, 1/4 to 1/3 of my nurses were foreign. But I'm happy to see that you're not always in lock step with trump. https://cew.georgetown.edu/cew-reports/skills-shortages/#data I don't think it's lack of schools offering, it's lack of demand on the part of students. Why take calculus requiring physics when the lower level course will suffice for many jobs? Why bother with astrophysics when it's relatively poorly paid and intellectually demanding as hell? Why go to med school, residency and fellowship when you can be a PA or NP in less than 1/2 the time?

yet trump says there aren't enough skilled, highly educated Americans to fill the jobs unthreatened by Ai. I actually agree with him on this. https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/what-the-fck-is-this-trump-supporters-rip-president-for-saying-there-arent-enough-talented-people-in-america/

It means another subprime mortgage disaster. If people can’t afford payments on a thirty year mortgage, they can’t afford the house. Sadly, many MAGAs will believe him and end up delinquent on their loans eventually defaulting and losing the principal they’ve accumulated to the banks. Apparently, even Ingraham acknowledges this but I can’t bring myself to listen to the clip and listen to both of their obnoxious voices.

Mortgage rates are still near historic lows over the last 50 years https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/historical-mortgage-rates/. Building material costs have skyrocketed, in part due to tariffs. When it cost more to buy new builds, existing housing becomes more valuable. Builders started offering mortgage rate subsidies for buyers with few takers. They just don't have the scratch. Wages have not kept up with costs.

true dat https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/general/federalist-boss-savages-weak-and-rudderless-trump-in-scathing-rant/ar-AA1Q95Wd “I don’t know who is advising congressional Republicans on strategy right now, but whoever it is has an IQ barely approaching room temperature,” Davis wrote in a lengthy post on X. “Republicans right now have no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision. Why on earth would anyone be excited to go vote for them 12 months from now? Trump needs to ditch the foreign policy c--p and focus all his attention on the domestic economy, which is still not working for the majority of people. Right now he looks weak and rudderless. Be mad all you want, but it’s the truth.” from the conservative "Federalist"

If we get to a .500 record or are eliminated from the playoff race, they should bench Josh to protect him from serious injury. Then draft and/or sign some decent WR's in the offseason.

Once again, I'm proud that Tim Kaine is my senator. Pragmatic as always, he put the ;people over politics. He realized that losing the battle is better than losing the war which continues in the midterms.

. the fact that we buy more product than any other country protects us to a degree.. Our creditors would be hurting themselves by pushing us into default. In the short term, balancing the budget or at least decreasing the yearly deficit, in part by increasing taxes on the wealthy, would be a step in the right direction. If all else fails, we have the dominant military institutions in the world, for now.

Historically, the marginal tax rate on the highest earners is low. We are trillions in debt. Why lower it further? https://bradfordtaxinstitute.com/Free_Resources/Federal-Income-Tax-Rates.aspx

It's true. This is his "gift" to the middle class. If he had a better solution or was willing to demand the ultra rich pay more so that people could buy a home, he'd have said so. Are 2 yachts or jets better than 1?

It's mostly the receivers. They scare no one. Coleman was a bad pick. Maybe they could try Hairston at WR. He can catch and he has elite speed. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

C. over $1mil in interest on a 50 year loan. That's $1mil less for retirement and still paying a mortgage at 75 or 80. Lord, I hope people are smarter than that.

The chiefs are 5-4. I doubt they're considering firing Reid and whoever their GM is. I think McD and Beane are safe. And they should be. The roster is comparatively weak. Mistakes were made but we've been a league power for 6 years running. The holes can be filled.
