    Timmy’s thread for serious discussion and debate

    I agree, tough job. She's not exactly politically savvy, but the operatives around her are. She has the old Shelby political establishment behind her. She was in bad trouble in the primary for that seat. So much so that the frontrunner, Mike Durant from Black Hawk Down, wouldn't take debates with her and Mo Brooks. Suddenly the attack ads started and sank Mike Durant. The ads could be completely valid, but it was pretty apparent that the Shelby machine wasn't going to let Durant win. It went from a hands off approach to avoid Mo Brooks, where they thought they wanted Durant in the runoff to suddenly realizing if they didn't smear him that she might not even make the runoff. Trump had originally backed Mo Brooks but later pulled his endorsement as Brooks struggled once they got heads up as well and the avalanche of attack ads came cascading down on him. Mo Brooks tried to run as "MAGA Mo Brooks" yet Donald Trump pulled his endorsement. At that point it was over.
  2. Well at least we can trust Vox to call balls and strikes right down the middle
  3. On the bright side, Alabama does have an age limit for judge positions. Parker is 72 and therefore can't run for re-election in November.

    Student Loan “forgiveness”

    These are the type things that motivate me, it's disgusting. Rewarding those who won't do for themselves is the opposite of what we should be encouraging as a society. I feel for everyone who has worked diligently to repay their loans and chose their schools with the ability to do that in mind.

    You say he took it to the extreme, perhaps he did. That's why the banks do due diligence so they can make their own determinations. I've audited banks earlier in my career, have a real estate license, rental properties, the whole nine yards so I'm pretty educated on what they do. It's hard to believe no other developer in the entire state of NY did similar things, and if they did, where are the other charges? I find it impossible to believe it's only Trump. And if so, I'd like to know how his specific case came to light without a victim's complaint. It begs the question, why did they look at Trump's transactions, likely Trump's alone? To me that stinks of political persecution more than anything. It's also pretty odd to prosecute someone where there isn't a victim nor damages. The supposed victim in this case would have to be the banks themselves, none of which claim any damage from it and in fact want to continue to do business with him. Either way, it's a significant departure from norms. The belief it's not at all politically motivated given the uniqueness of this doesn't hold water. Again I'd ask, where are the other similar cases?
  6. It's part of the victimhood game. Somehow the deflection starts and somehow this becomes a narrative about racism from whites when it has nothing at all to do with this story.

    Trump INDICTED

    Martha used to be my favorite CNBC stock girl back in the day. The dirty things I'd do to her while she told me about making money. Hard to believe she's 60!

    I don't think I've ever heard the term "specific intercourse"

    Gonna have to put my dog down

    So sorry man. Went through this a couple years ago when our dog got to where he couldn't get up over a weekend. He was 12 1/2 or so at the time. One of the hardest things I had to witness wasn't the being with him at the end but having to watch my two daughters basically say goodbye to him on a Monday morning before they had to leave for school. My youngest was 7 and she always is an optimist and just knew the vet was going to find a way to make him walk again when I took him in that morning. She got off the bus and had to tell her no he wasn't home and she just loses it. My other one stopped and looked back at him one last time before walking out. You will know when it's time, hoping the meds work and buy you some more days or months. But you'll know in your heart when it's time.

    I find it hard to not see trans as mental illness...

    What a loser. Not just mentally ill, but mentally weak to need to try and compete against biological females to feel good about himself.

    Plans for Lent?

    Man you guys should be Baptist. We get to pretty much do anything and be the chosen ones by just believing.

    House votes to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas over border crisis

    We already knew this during the Trump impeachment. This is our new normal.

    Democrat cruising to victory in George Santos’ district

    Good chance both the House and Senate flip, so we end up with one to each side, just the opposite chamber as this cycle.
