too bad seven or eight Democrats vote with the pubs at times. don't think the pub senators that just got primaried out are going to feel real generous.
Cornyn is the prototypical senator-cum-lobbyist. He'll parlay his floor access into millions upon millions of dollars in "consultant fees," which is the only thing that's ever really mattered to him.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City unveiled a sweeping housing plan on Tuesday, pledging to build 200,000 affordable homes and stabilize the nation’s largest public housing system.
Mr. Mamdani proposed spending $22 billion on housing over the next five years, including $5.6 billion to improve public housing specifically. His lengthy plan calls for zoning changes in some neighborhoods that are not building enough housing, working with private developers to shore up public housing and building more homes near transit hubs...
Housing advocates praised the plan, while some real estate and business leaders expressed concerns about the mayor’s calls for higher wages for construction workers, even as Mr. Mamdani appeared to backtrack from a campaign promise to use union labor on affordable housing projects.
Annemarie Gray, the executive director of Open New York, a nonprofit group that supports more development, called the plan an “all-of-the-above approach that centers on building more homes, especially in the neighborhoods that have not done enough to be part of the solution.”
But Steven Fulop, the president and chief executive of the Partnership for New York City, an influential business group, said that while the plan had the right goals, he worried that Mr. Mamdani’s calls for construction workers to earn $40 an hour in wages and benefits, even if they are not union workers, would add to building costs...
Every undocumented worker is the worst, but what about those green card holders? They were documented. What about the spouses of citizens? Also documented! Come on the fucking press, CALL THIS SHIT OUT.
Your compliance does not mean they won't go after you. Haven't you learned that yet?
For decades the right's defense, whenever called on their bigotry, was that they just wanted immigrants to do it 'the right way.' This administration is making 'the right way' harder than ever, and it was already too fucking hard, and still locking up people who did it right anyway. Their lies are being exposed to any who care to look. The billionaires who own the media just don't care to.
It's very aggravating! The constant hypocrisy that the press keeps over looking I mean. I know in my head that they're bought and sold propaganda pieces, but in my heart I keep going COME ON GUYS.
A couple weeks ago, I sold a guy some Hank Williams LPs on eBay. This morning he sent me a picture of himself dressed as Hank Williams singing at a Karaoke bar. So great!
Well, I got to work on unborking my life yesterday and after dozing for about 45 minutes, I got my ass to the gym and had a walk I very much enjoyed. I still ended up siesta-ing for 3 hours, which means I only knocked 15 minutes of daytime sleeping off, but I slept pretty good last night, waking up just one time.
I decided to take Bob's advice and buy myself an RC truck to drive around. Someone also suggested I get a small drone, and I do think I will. I have always wanted to get one with a little Biden flag on it to fly around the lake and scare all the Texans.
Felt great after my walk at the gym. Looking forward to it again today. Just going to close my eyes for about 30 minutes.
Traxxas is usually a good bet, too. I have an old Emaxx I don't run anymore and their hot rod coupe. I put a high power motor/controller in the hot rod, and I wear down the tires.
If turning a bunch of 6,7, and 8-year olds loose on a muddy baseball field is wrong, I don't want to be right. I could practically *feel* the cringing of the moms, but by damn, those boys were having fun finding reasons to dive on the ground.
As an inexperienced Mom, I encouraged the healthy dirtying up and exposure to outdoor junk in order to diversify and strengthen the child's immune system! A Newfie or two and some cats helped in this process.
Because we turn it into an enterprise. We need coaches and uniforms and fees and a snack schedule. Meanwhile, everywhere else on the planet, kids just play the damned game in the street.
Kids play the games in the street here in the US of America also? In our neighborhood it was street hockey, in the one a few blocks over 'twas the basketing ball for example.
If a Russian state actor cracked stupid-corrupt's phone,
A, He wouldn't know about it, he could only guess 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 he was confronted with Kompromat...
2. The "work product" stolen from his device would be released if he denied them what they were after, or if they wanted to prove the value of what they stole...
III. It wouldn't be a solo effort, even now, the data on Farage's device would be exploited and his peers would need to examine their entire electronic lives...
So, Tuesday,the Lout gets a couple visits ahead in annual physicals, spent more than three hours at Walter Reed Medical Center for what the Whitehouse called "preventive medical and dental checkups", renamed the annual visits as "regular 6 month checkups" and announced Flawless Victory...
Wednesday he's off to 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱 𝘋𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘥... A place he doesn't get to much (not golden enough) but then, cancels the retreat...
Is this week THE WEEK? Will today be THE DAY? Prolly not, but hope gets a body out of bed....
Interesting that the WOMAN governor and the NON-WHITE Senator were singled out.
Probably a coincidence, huh?

Stephen Miller is the stupid Adolf Eichmann.
No one ever lost betting on the stupidity of the American people.
So Paxton beat Cornyn.
Bets on Cornyn unearthing his spine, fitting in place, and telling all and sundry that he never liked/trusted/schmoozed/sucked off The Homunculus?

I just hope he enjoys how he sold his soul to an orange satan only to have the same turn around and fuck him over without even any lube.
I really, really, hope he enjoys that.
I'm convinced that the right-wing media and "modern" GOP have so infected their followers that they don't even understand shame or pride any more. All they understand is what gets eyeballs on Fox News or clicks on twitter.
That's a given.
Not going to happen.
Seems to be a pattern, though - GOP licktaint loses a primary or resigns, and suddenly he criticizes his living god.
I don't think New Yorkers will go for this:

Both teams refuse to play until he goes would be good also.
But I will be plum happy with the New York crowd screaming its loathing at the Hair Ferret

A couple weeks ago, I sold a guy some Hank Williams LPs on eBay. This morning he sent me a picture of himself dressed as Hank Williams singing at a Karaoke bar. So great!
A few years ago, my mom started selling stuff on-line to de-clutter. She sent a hand-written note thanking people for their purchases.
She has hundreds of reviews, and almost all of them mention those thank you notes.
We can hide behind our computers, but we still want to know each other, I think.
Then his next order was for a collection of GG Allin records...

"I have always wanted to get one with a little Biden flag on it to fly around the lake and scare all the Texans."
I LOVE this idea!
One of those Boston Dynamics robodogs...
Ooh, what kind of truck are you looking at?
Things to consider:
You need a battery and charger
Some models are not so durable or are hard to get parts for
I understand the ARRMA Grom line are pretty good, and not too pricey with a battery and charger.
I like this one.

Of course all bets are off if you drive it like I do - reckless maniac mode, engaged!

Kids+Mud=Lots of Fun.
Sometimes you gotta let kids be kids.
The more often, the better.
Why isn't the US better at soccer?
Because we turn it into an enterprise. We need coaches and uniforms and fees and a snack schedule. Meanwhile, everywhere else on the planet, kids just play the damned game in the street.
womens team seems to be a lot better here in 'Merica.
The women's team is better because most countries provide way less money/effort/support for girls' sports than we do.
Kids play the games in the street here in the US of America also? In our neighborhood it was street hockey, in the one a few blocks over 'twas the basketing ball for example.

So, he's not denying the grift, just how people noticed? Solid defence.
The leakers are the real story

I think he's got ten more years and we should all stop hoping.
At almost age 80, six months between Dr check-ups is probably usual, especially for the most important person in the world who wants to live forever.
hasn't he had like 3 check ups since January though?
