Something about your username and shacking up with a squaw feels right. #theYTevencolonizedthewomen
The username scratched an itch because I was really into an Ennio Morricone phase when I stopped lurking and signed up, but I’m actually not even remotely Italian. I’m one of those balto-Slavic types who was born with a wrench in one hand, and my wife has those Mongolian-Bering land bridge type genes, so our kids look kinda central Asian, like some Kazakh Asian-Slavic type of mix
 
It’s so nice having a president that gives daily updates and thoughts, this hasn’t really been possible before the last 10-15 years but it’s comforting not having a president that makes once a month appearances or less.

Psychologically it makes citizens feel that their president is present and paying attention, and that he’s accessible.

It has been possible for over a hundred years. FDR famously had a radio show where he talked directly to the American people in the 1930s.
 
Thank God for that. 70s CIA would murder journalists by the bus load,
Stop! I can only get so erect!
There was Doris Day, Joan Crawford, Tippi Hedren. Sounds like Marilyn was just vulnerable and patriotic at the time. What a damn shame. She was set up from the very beginning.
I'd take Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelly above any of them.
a re-occurring joke me and my family make is about the land o lakes girl, "Look at it, white liberals take the land and leave out the native."

Im native, and I wont say Im constantly coddled by liberals, but the amount of times college liberals called me latinx, or tried to coddle me at their shitty universities is enough to count on my hands.

I hate it, we arent stupid, we dont need to have our hands held. Assholes, all of them.
I was in my little shithole I grew up in in Ontario a few years ago when the liberal dangerhairs and their pet Indians tore down this statue of Queen Victoria in Winnipeg during a protest, might have even been Summer of Love. I was sitting with some Indian friends (feather) and a couple of white women. I said it was a stupid thing to do and it pissed me off. The white chicks wanted brownie points so started lecturing me about how that was racist and Indians needed to express that. I told them it would fuck the Indians more than help them, and they were flipping out. So, I made fun of them and did a fake clap thing saying they got to feel good, but not a single thing would improve on the REz because of it. It just created obstacles to really help Indians. They were fucking glaring at me until all the Indians at the table agreed, then they suddenly thought that made sense.
Oct 28 1929 DJIA lost 12.82%, Oct 29 1929 DJIA lost 11.73% - what are the parameters for the Wiki charts? They're for sure not complete lists of historic gains/losses.
My investment guy retired last year, and he shunted me off to a guy he said was good but who was actually garbage. He's tryingn to cover his ass telling me thaht markets go up and down and to not get spooked by it. I tell him I'm fully aware of that and I laugh at market panickers, but I am legit worried if Harris wins in the US. He pulls out a chart showing market performance from 1934-present, showing a steady upward climb, and points out "you can see the Vietnam war there" and "This was Covid".

I say: "Funny how your chart starts in 1934, eh?"

HE says he doesn't know what I mean, and I walked out of the meeting saying I'll get a better investor.
 
holy shit, the governor of maine is a complete retard.

original statement via maine.gov | archive

but if you're not incapable of reading...
The Constitution said:
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.

nowhere in the document does it say that all the money congress allocates for the federal government MUST BE SPENT. it says that it must be withdrawn by congress, with zero statement about forced spending. she's just using as much weasel wording as she can, hoping nobody else has read the fucking constitution.
