I've been on an "eating through history" YouTube/recipe kick recently, and into the 21 century, most of our politicians in Congress eat garbage - I don't even want to waste ingredients or time on the cookware to cook the slop that some of them call their favorite dishes.

Try again next fiscal year

I wonder what the army knew of this law enforcement action, if anything.

I know in the Guard it's more difficult to keep track of what's going on with individual members, but this seems like the type of situation that is heard about if it was an unrestricted report of SA.

Regarding the great women's fight in the co-main event, and the comparatively tame and boring Tyson v Paul match. The two women boxing received 6m and 8m, which is one heckuva payday.

A interesting theory from Threads:

No s"t-that fight before was the main event and was an outstanding fight to watch. This fight brought an entire new generation of spectators as well. The reason he chooses the fights he does, if you analyze it, is that those fighters all come from different disciplines of combat sports. He's deliberately annoying because he knows people want to see him get beaten. He's a WWE heel in the world of boxing and he's embracing that because he ultimately wants to be a promoter.

It was free entertainment. Easier to track down a way to see this than the 6 different venues to watch NFL these days

On Tyson vs Paul: no one got seriously hurt. Very cautious (respectful?) fighting by Paul, reactive and defensive by Tyson.

Glad this was not PPV, or that I paid whatever it cost to get in the arena LOL.

I had no issues on the Netflix side.

Taylor vs Serrano is crazy. These girls are bleeding from their everywhere.

Caught the last few rounds of this bout and now THAT was a fight!

I'll tune in around 11pm when main event walkouts are slated to happen.

I do find it interesting that there are a collective of apartheid era South African guys who have earned an outsized amount of social and economic capital via the tech industry in the US.

While Trump and Musk are still paired together, before the eventual split of the two, I want a sound bite of Trump introducing Musk as, "Here's my favorite African!"

With his educational background I'm surprised that he stuck with the Guard for 20+ years and multiple mobilizations with active duty time. It's a meme in the DC area that folks with his type of Ivy background apply, get selected, do the minimum obligated service period to "get military experience," then resign their commission as they ticked the servicemember box.

One week til Gladiator 2 debuts!

This is some palace intrigue theory lol

The amount of the bid was not announced.

Bummer.

No bets? #70 | POSTED BY LFTHNDTHRDS

I'm game to work out a deal.

100 $usdc (ask Boaz what that is if you're not savvy), that Gaetz is not the Attorney General on 31 December 2025.

USDC so there is a publicly verifiable means to discern proof of payment.

I highly doubt she would be able to pass a SSBI to get cleared and read in

R No votes for this one ... Collins, Romney, Murkoski, The Turtle, and mayyyybe Thune.

I won't be following up. Y'all take care.

Welcome back and take care out there.

I agree. Some R-pols agree as well:

Swing-vote GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said she doesn't "think it's a serious nomination for the attorney general." Another, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), told reporters she was "shocked" by Gaetz's selection. And Trump ally Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) called it "a reckless pick."

"I think he has a zero percent shot of getting through the Senate," Miller added.

There isn't any way a guy with pending cases of a sexual manner is approved by a vote in the Senate

With regard to my claims of Rubio's issue by issue fluidity, in a book authored by him upon his debut Senate run over a decade ago, " 100 Innovative Ideas for Florida's Future," he mentioned the optimistic potential for renewal energy to grow as an industry to combat the worsening severity of climate change.

Nowadays: "climate change, what is that?"

Only one example, lol

Well, I suppose Marco could run for Governor of Florida....

That is valid. Rubio has always struck me as a social climber because beyond his foreign policy positions, most of his other issue by issue positions are subject to current polling (if election season), or whatever is asked to him by party leadership. He has some independent bipartisan legislative efforts, to demonstrate his ability to work across the aisle, etc, etc, but absolutely falls in line when needed.

Governor in FL is term limited. IMO, his senate position is a relative guide path to career stability until retirement, as the senior senator of Florida.

Of the two senators in FL, I'd judge that Rubio is the more stable-adult one than skeletor Scott.

If confirmed, the clock will start to see how long Rubio lasts in the position ;).

No one ever lasts long according to the previous Trump administration, which makes you wonder why any career politician would resign from a Senate or Gubernatorial position for an appointed position.

This will be a great test for Rubio. I figured that Rubio would have been sent to exile island on the UN Ambassador mission lmao

would never work for anybody that has insulted my wife. #21 | POSTED BY WILDMAN62

That's Sen. Cruz, the all hat and no cattle Texan.

This would be an interesting career move - I would think that being a state governor would be a better public figure resume move than Secretary of Homeland Security. Or any of the appointed Secretary spots

My only immediate thoughts are that VP Harris should have done a Hot Ones appearance, and Joe Rogan segment.

The only concern I have is there are no more Mattis type folks.

Folkheros of the troops.

Even Mattis wasn't completely who we thought him to be (Theranos involvement).
