Absolutely wild choice by McConnell, considering one of the only things Kentucky has a better reputation for than being backwater is growing hemp/weed

Trump wrote in his own book that Epstein was the only man that could call his office and only need to give his first name in order to get connected.

They werent just buddies, they were certainly doing business together that was outside the usual. Why else would Epstein be calling Trump that much to where his aides knew to pass him through just by him saying “its jeffery”?

Mexico still has more senior rights to the water than the states do, and they still get their water regardless of states disagreeing about what to do with the US portion. Although it is fucked what happened to the delta, that would likely have occurred anyways due to such heavy use of the water. It’s the same story all over the world almost everywhere on tons of rivers and caused by mismanagement. Look at the Aral Sea basically not existing anymore. There are former fishing towns that were seaside 50 years ago that are now hundreds of miles from water

Decades ago the US actually was very concerned about not being able to meet its water obligations to Mexico, due to the Colorado water being so heavily salted from use in irrigation before it got to Mexico, so we spent billions of dollars on a massive desalination plant in Yuma, AZ. It has only been turned on literally two times since it was built. Once to test it when it was new, and again to test it more recently. They estimate for us to use it would cost millions to update it, and millions to run. Although it would be very useful as the river declines.

Problem is, it has always had water running through it, and the runoff dumps into Mexico (as thats where they were gonna dump the brine). Had we dumped brine there starting decades ago, there would still be nothing living in that spot, but instead weve been running freshwater into it for so long that it created its own wetland environment. That spot is now a protected ecological area in Mexico because it has become a haven for different bird species. And if we turn on the plant for long term use, it will send its brine that spot and immediately kill everything off

he truly was the hero of 9-11, because no one else was mayor that day

In British English it is sneaked

In Colorado a property worth over a million is just a normal working person’s house, unless youre talking about the plains, or maybe some of the front range. In 2/3rds of the state $1M wouldnt buy you that nice of a house

An actual billionaire tax would be great, but thats not really the discussion.

Its a tax on anyone making over $300k in income every year, which is a lot of high level professionals in Colorado. Most single family houses in a lot of the state cost at least $1M. Wages are quite high here in most places for entry level work, driving up higher level job pay.

Its financially feasible and not even much of a tax. Plus it is being supplemented by another provision that was passed this year

I can virtually guarantee you that they largely just get complimentary upgraded to first as a safety precaution rather than paying booking rates for first class flights. I valeted a car for a sitting senator not long ago and the dude rented with SIXT, which is a budget grade rental place that the average person isnt even familiar with

Ogles cited rap lyrics Mamdani wrote in 2017 supporting the “Holy Land Five”, a reference to five men in the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim charity, convicted in 2008 of providing material support to the Palestinian group Hamas. Some lawyers have criticised the case’s evidence and use of hearsay.

I heard Mamdani killed Darnell Simons

The airlines should band together and cancel literally every possible route that is regularly taken by US congresscritters before they cancel anything else

Neither team is allowed to defend against a forward pass, as the stadium lacks any form of air traffic control

It overlaps heavily with my list of members in this administration I’d like to watch defend themselves in Colosseum-style mortal combat.

Krusty Gnome versus hungry lions. Steven Miller trying to escape a maze filled with alligators. Donald Trump versus lifting a glass of water without stroking out

“Flight 4131 to tower, do I have clearance to land safely?”

“That’s a great question!”

The minute that the controller shortage fucks the wrong wealthy person’s private jet trip suddenly everything will magically be fixed.

He picked a terrible time to frontload this issue by giving rich people extra tax writeoffs on private jets. Theyre gonna be pissed if their new private jets become useless

Probably in the process for a green card after marrying and changing status, which easily costs between $7k-$10k and now takes years thanks to Trump fucking the immigration process. It wasnt fast before either, but now its a “who knows how long it will take” process
