Trump is such a god drat enigma

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/national-security-briefings-trump-are-bad-idea-rcna142454

U.S. intelligence officials are planning to brief Donald Trump on national security matters if he secures the GOP nomination this summer — despite concerns about his handling of classified information. The decision would be in keeping with a tradition that dates back to 1952, but it would mark the first time an administration has volunteered to share classified information with a candidate who is facing criminal charges related to the mishandling of classified documents.

"Tradition" meaning...Biden could just not? Frump certainly enjoyed ignoring "tradition" so if this were up to me I'd skip it, citing the clear concerns here.

Reminds me of a bit from The Onions Our Dumb Century book about Marion Barry running for mayor of DC again after his crack conviction, with his official campaign promise to "smoke copious amounts of crack while in office" and how voters were favorable because they believed he'd keep his campaign promises.

This is quick for rural america, no matter what state you're in.

When I was a kid my neighbor's horse barn had an electrical short and started burning down. The neighbors were away, so my parents were the first to notice it. They called 911 and ran over to let the horses out of the barn. First responders, aka guys in trucks, arrived first about 15 minutes after the initial call, but it took almost 25 minutes for the first fire truck to arrive.

Yup.. this is why when you get a quote for homeowners insurance, they need to know how close the nearest fire station is. It's factored into the risk.

To be honest, if I’m out in public and a truck with a white guy wearing a MAGA hat pulls up, I pretty much assume he’s armed and is there looking for an excuse to kill someone. It’s sort of safe to assume that right wing guys do that, being that they actually do that sort of stuff.

The Biden administration’s policies — the policies in this country that the president falsely claims are humane — have empowered the cartels and acted as a magnet to a historic level of migrants making the dangerous journey to our border.” – Sean Ross, spokesman for Sen.

15ish percent of people have an IQ of 85 or less. These are the people the US military refuses in peacetime because they can't be taught. One in 7 people you walk past in the street every day gets up every morning, follows the big fireball in the sky slack jawed and frightened until it disappears at night. They are afraid of things they don't understand, which is everything. But because they're NOT stupid in their own heads, they watch Mango Mussolini on TV who says stupid poo poo in the stupidest way possible and nod along to this genius who finally thinks and speaks the way they do. Then they vote.

One in 7. Enough, in gerrymandered districts, and under an electoral college system that favors rural empty land over people, to flip an election.

This is why I took the kids this once (plus it was a promise)

But nah. I used to have season tickets but the amount of money required to attend in person these days is 100% not worth it unless you are fabulously wealthy plus it’s an enormous waste of time. This is like asking whether you would rather have a superbowl ticket or $15k. I will take the money every single time.

Lmao that you equate not wanting to spend thousands of dollars on an experience that really isn’t all that different at home as it is in-person as a “basement dwelling goon mindset” though.

It cost me roughly $2500 (ticket, trip, hotel) to go to Super Bowl 44 and see the Saints win their only Super Bowl. Ask me if I’d rather have that or the $2500 back in the bank.
