“Your love for the halflings’ leaf has clearly slowed your mind.”

In the Christmas spirit, it’s mulled hot cider.

This guy is not interested in actually running the House, he needs to be removed from the Speakership.

If enough GOP Representatives are upset about it, they can either band with the Democrats to file a discharge petition to force a vote, the same way they did with the Epstein files. They could also move forward with a motion to unseat Speaker Johnson entirely. If they’re unwilling to do either then, quite frankly, I don’t want to hear about their crocodile tears.

Ah, that’s how we wound up with reverse Polish notation.

3 a *

Three no-bills.

Then grab your bat’leth and bring in the targ.

Is there, though? The subsidies were government dollars going into private insurance companies in the marketplace. It’s not that insurance rates are skyrocketing, it’s that the government is no longer chipping in. Some people are no longer going to be able to afford insurance, which means lost subscribers.

He’s not even using the pretext of a trade imbalance to justify tariffs now. This goes way beyond his authority, but Congress and the courts have been asleep at the wheel so far.

Wow, this century is a long time. Nope, just 25 years. Wait, 25 years? Y2K wasn’t that long ago, was it?

Makes sense. They each came out a week or two before Christmas. I remember finishing my college finals each year and then going to see them with my friends before going home.

Wow, that FIFA bribe worked fast.

Trying again would be in character for this DOJ. They went before a grand jury three times to try to indict the guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent. After the third no-bill, they switched to charging him with misdemeanors, which don’t require going before a grand jury. (A regular jury tossed those charges at trial.)

I’d say I’ve lost all respect for FIFA, but I never had any to begin with.

Does he think “Fog of War” is an actual fog bank?

I feel like weekend before Thanksgiving is pretty standard for a mountain with a robust snowmaking system. Natural conditions are still iffy, though, (even with yesterday’s snow), especially on something steep and in the trees.

The hypothetical Steam Deck 2 would get much better battery life if this effort pans out.

Our black magic markers ran dry, we had to run out to the store to get more. Give us another week.

I remember seeing an interview with Tom Bosley, the actor who played Mr. Cunningham, where he points out that there were more episodes of Happy Days after jumping the shark than before, so it was hardly the death knell for the show.

I don’t think the middle class knows about the first million, Pip.
