You probably posted this in another thread nycfan but this one just.. I mean it's almost hard to comprehend that this person will get a single vote let alone tens of millions.

LOL, Did the Harris campaign encourage the hacking in nationally televised speeches, open the emails, and then set high level meetings at their headquarters to figure out how to best use the information and if they could get more?

Somehow I doubt it.

And if they did, then yes, they should all be out of politics and in prison. I think I'm being pretty consistent in my viewpoint there Donny Boy.
 
Does anyone still post there? I have an account for my business from when it was still Twitter. I've had my marketing firm cancel my blogs. The amount of misinformation and vitriol was making my head spin. Trying to keep up and respond is futile.
 
Michael Beschloss is going to have a stroke — he has been incensed about this “renovation” since it happened.





There were rose bushes planted there over decades named for First Ladies — which Melania had removed.

A trivial matter in the grand scheme in the annals of Trump villainy and bad taste, to be sure, but one that the handful of historians and gardeners who care will never forgive.

For some reason, the debate thread got locked :(

But Trump went on Fox yesterday to say that the debate audience went crazy.....

There was no audience.

There was a duplicate thread that was locked. The primary thread remains unlocked.

Wait, Trump proposed a cap on credit card interest rates?

Nice populist take, but its a terrible policy.

Why is it a terrible policy? Not disagreeing. I can see pros and cons. But you seem definitive, and you usually have good reasons when you take a hard stance.

Because credit cards are essentially a non-collateralized loan.

If you cap interest at 10%, a whole lot of folks will either no longer “qualify” for credit cards or will be given tiny card limits due to fear of lack of repayment. (Or the cc companies will simply create 15 new “fees” to make up for the lost interest.)

OK, if we are speaking specifically of his 10% proposal. Then yes, that's a terrible proposal. But I think there is a level where rates become so usurious that they are just a baited trap for poor people.
 
Cards against Humanity is suing Musk


Neighbors of Starbase continue to be perplexed by some of SpaceX’s activities. Last year, a homeowner in the area, Keith Reynolds, noticed that SpaceX builders had cleared a parcel and were storing construction materials there. The parcel belonged to Cards Against Humanity, a card game company that sometimes engages in progressive political activism and bought land there to thwart a border wall with Mexico.
Reynolds said he called SpaceX to complain, but got no response. He also phoned an executive at Cards Against Humanity to inform them. The executive, who asked not to be identified by name, told Reuters that Denise Marrufo, a SpaceX real estate analyst, called afterward, asking if the company wanted to sell the property.

The executive ignored the offer.

Marrufo didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Cards Against Humanity on Thursday filed a $15 million lawsuit against SpaceX in Cameron County District Court, alleging illegal trespassing and destruction of property.

Credit would become significantly harder to get, which is a problem in a society where a relatively small percentage of people have enough cash saved to handle an unexpected car repair.
