Beat me by 3 minutes. Will France let in a convicted felon? I suppose they would have to do to diplomatic immunity. Wonder of Macron et. al. would snub him.

So Effete, you're against Peter Hegseth?

I suspect a mental health crisis and a wellness check gone awry. Suicide by head on collision will be my conjecture. Odd that he didn't have anything to do with the police force retiring, as that was a councilman according to the police chief in his statement.

Minnesota has an Embarrass, but no Emo.

Since there's a 3 day timer, maybe we could just start a 'Weekender' thread on Fridays. On Monday, we could have the Mooner, and on Wednesdays the Humper.

I could go for that, lead the way Sentinel.

Shane, I feel bad for you, I got an email from a med page and they did a slide show on best places to retire. Las Cruses was included, beware an onslaught of retirees.

Cory Doctorow was mentioned upthread, one of his recent books is pretty good: The Lost Cause
Dystopian fiction set in the near future.

Learned a new word last night.
The feeling you get when early in transitioning, (male to female) still appear somewhat like the other gender but get hit on anyway by older guys: ewwphoria

I think it is time or abolish the Selective Service completely. Wonder if it will be on DOGE chopping block?

"Fire at will"

What did Will do to you?

Reminds me of the story: New Years Eve Party and all the guys were jumping for Joy, but she was agile and clung to the chandelier out of reach.

Mad, generally I don't dispute you but I looked up the records of several of the recent Sec. of the Navy. 4 of 5 had military service. The one that didn't had extensive experience, leading the Red Cross, Under secretary to someone in the army, advance degrees in management, a worthy resume in my view.
Susan Livingston - FTA - From 1981 to 1989, Mrs. Livingstone served at the Veterans Administration, now the Department of Veterans Affairs, in a number of positions including Associate Deputy Administrator for Logistics and the Associate Deputy Administrator for Management. Prior to her Executive Branch service, Mrs. Livingstone worked for more than nine years in the Legislative branch on the personal staffs of both a Senator and two Congressmen.

Donors like this used to get a plum ambassadorship.

Canada and Mexico would be justified levying retaliatory tariffs for smuggled firearms.

Standing room only admission for $100.

Pretty much encapsulates why I have given up on football. Prices are crazy, contracts through the roof and team valuations continue to climb.
No longer middle class or working family entertainment. Family of 4 can spend over a thousand dollars to attend a game now.
Not a criticism of your son. Lions fans have suffered even more than Vikings fans and I am rooting for them. Year of the Cat.

How about Jewish Space Lasers from satellites?

Is = Or. Not even in the bourbon yet.

Is did the country leave you?

Hmmmmm....probably followed by a meeting of you commies...

:) :)

We consider ourselves progressives, but in MAGA world we are labeled commies. All the Pride Flags and unicorns don't help.

Came here to wish all Happy Holidays and then I'll go back to my hotmail account and delete all the Black Friday ads.
Potluck later this afternoon at a football free home. Not very American of us.

This one, and the others intended as a 'daily' should be on a 24 hr timer.

His Bronze star was not awarded for valor. The last 20 years Bronze stars have been doled out to staff officers like candy.

All good questions. We will need a huge federal bureaucracy to write all the procedures and implement the policy. So, instead of DOGE the first order of business for the Trump administration will be to expand the federal footstep.
