The executive branch needs a mechanism to swiftly remove him from office.


It’s not exactly easy to remove a judge just like the judicial branch has no say over deportations as that is solely an executive branch matter. Even the immigration courts fall under the executive branch, not the judicial branch.

I was in LA about a month ago and every dang politician was campaigning on reducing gas prices….and I’m in the hotel room thinking “congratulations, you played yourselves”.
The NCAA should. But 1980s SMU is licking their chops on this ruling.

In reality, they are creating a massive, un-budgeted financial liability for the company.


Spoken like a true HR manager.

Truth is my guys are salary and sometimes work late and some weekends in instances. That unbudgeted liability is an outrageous claim. There are office workers who are 9-5, then there are operational staff that you have to hire correctly that will take one for the company if the company works with them on what they need. With that good staff, that is taken care of, is a staff that takes care of the company.

Nannying people and not treating them like adults is a good way to drive away talent, at any pay point. You also have to get on idiots that try to take advantage of it. It’s not that hard.

A European vacation….what kind of idiots do you have running that place? Fire them if they pull that stunt.
Indeed. The lone Japan sub shelling the west coast hardly compares to the fuel consumption of a fleet. Hawaii was pretty much their operational limit and Nimitz was willing to let Japan have Midway if it meant saving his forces. He knew they couldn’t resupply Midway. He’d just attack and retake it later if Japan did take it.

Midway was significant. Sinking their carriers was important. Guadalcanal is where the grind started and the war began to turn.

By mid to late 1943 the two ocean navy was built and in being. That was an invasion fleet and Japan wasn’t winning anything after the US put that thing to use.
Literally I walked in today looking at the ping G440k but wanted to get fitted. My old driver is old enough to vote and really wasn’t for me I just never took the time to try another one.

I hit the 440k, felt good but wasn’t dialed, and the new taylormade just didn’t work.

I wanted consistency and the Cobra OPTM just worked for me. Mostly it has a lot of adjustment as per the fitter. I’m not a golf geek and never even heard of them.

I wanted to hit fairways and this driver just worked. I’ll gain 10-15 yards it seems, I’ll need to hit the range or a quick 9 soon to see.

Let him keep it as a reward for duping the dumbest bunch of idiots collected.

How do you not check his college transcripts and navy background?

As penance the CIA should be referred to as “the CIA, duped by (insert this dude’s name)”.
So it’s strictly bolt guns I’d assume and not for ARs?
Is this where the case is made of better metal meaning higher pressure?
Think how mind boggling fast past those first 6 months of the war were, then add in the fall of ‘42…. A ton of carrier action and then virtually nothing of carrier battles in ‘43.

We eradicated screwworm in the 60s and 70s, we can do it again.

This is a nonstarter of a story.

We negotiate with terrorists. That dumb phrase is fantasy government catchphrase nonsense.

I genuinely enjoyed his podcasts with priests, SF guys, and the 160th guy was good. His tech interviews are interesting at least to me showing what we are capable of.

Lately his guests haven’t really interest me. I tried listening to Cenk, especially for Cenk point of view and what he went through, I couldn’t finish it.

I’ve been hitting audible up lately as most of the podcasts haven’t been very good.

:lol: yes, we do. All the time and never not. Stupid tv crap.

However, if we are going to take the clause as written (regardless of different grammatical norms of the day) then we have to also take “well regulated” militia at face value, as well.


No, we do not. Those commas have meaning and you can’t wish your way into a different meaning as you’re trying to do here.

It’s people like you who think you’re the smartest in the room, yet so incredibly dumb you can’t see it.

You can’t acknowledge the grammar then say, “but they probably meant this instead.” That’s a ludicrous argument to make.

I have a bad boy strictly for the deck/frame being 1/4”. I figured I could change out an engine or hydro but the frame is the one thing I couldn’t get around.

Hate to break it to you but you’re not using AI, you’re just using google that reads a response back to you and you’re paying for it.


There is a ton of misinformation Facebook nonsense in this thread. I don’t believe eminent domain should be used, but the other chicken little craze in here is hard to read.

AI is incredibly powerful when you use it correctly. Its accuracy is immensely better than 18 months ago. It won’t kill jobs, it will make current employees 10-50x more productive.

I think everyday Texans know that those legislators were a shitshow. Even siding with the democrats to elect a “republican” speaker.

There is a lot of cleaning up that needs to be done.
It truly is “the sum of all fears” plot line.
We have half Great Pyrenees/Anatolians and they are extremely sweet girls. They don’t like deer or donkeys getting close to their herd.

One was already very friendly and did her job guarding sheep. They other was a bit shy but had sense warmed up and a better barker.

Sad they don’t live very long.
