squistion

After the gem, stand down sounds more appropriate.

Corruption Field has a nice ring to it.

And an even weirder thing to post in this thread, particularly seems it appears that Disney wasn't reponsible for any of the deaths.

It is hard to imagine any worse optics for Trump, Mike Johnson and Republicans than what we have seen in the last week. Start with the multi-million dollar Great Gatsby themed party held at Mar-a-Lago, the same evening that Trump cuts off SNAP benefits. The Great Gatsby? Really? Who came up with that idea? Had any of them actually read the book and understood that was a critique of the moral emptiness and carelessness of the wealthy during The Roaring Twenties? And that was followed by Trump flying down to Florida again this weekend to play golf amid airline flights being cancelled in around the country because he is trying to force Democrats to capitulate and give him everything he wants. The actions of Trump and Republicans seem really callous and tone deaf to the hardships they are causing Americans. Do they really think their antics will be popular with most Americans? I just can't see it, and maybe I'll be wrong, but this looks likely to blow up in their faces with negative short term and long term consequences (2026 elections).

I thought that maybe Adam Schefter's Twitter account had been hacked by a prankster, but the story is legitimate. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46892115/trump-wants-commanders-stadium-named-him Sources: Trump wants Commanders' new D.C. stadium named for him President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN. A senior White House source said there have been back-channel communications with a member of the Commanders' ownership group, led by Josh Harris, to express Trump's desire to have the domed stadium in the nation's capital bear his name. The new stadium is being built on the old RFK Stadium site that served as the team's home from 1961 to 1996. "That would be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told ESPN on Friday night via email. Leavitt declined to answer additional questions, but the senior White House source told ESPN: "It's what the president wants, and it will probably happen." A Commanders spokesperson declined comment Saturday. However, a team source said the organization has spent days preparing for Trump's attendance at the Commanders' home game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon. Trump will attend the game as Harris' guest and is expected to participate in halftime activities honoring the military. The team source said that while the Commanders anticipate possible conversations with Trump about the new stadium during the game, there have been no formal conversations to date. The Commanders own the new stadium's naming rights, presumably to be sold to a corporate sponsor. But a source with firsthand knowledge of the process said that would be a separate decision from also commemorating an individual in the stadium name. That decision would likely rest with the District of Columbia Council, which will lease the stadium to the Commanders, and the National Park Service, which manages the federal government land on the old RFK Stadium site where the new stadium will be built in time for its scheduled opening in 2030. "The team doesn't have the authority. They can't name the stadium ... on their own," the source said. "The city would be involved in that decision, and the Park Service would be involved." [...]

The tried that with AOC but that talking point never really caught on (although a few folks here still keep saying AOC will challenge Shumer for the leadership of the Democrats, but that seem laughable to me). Mamdani's support, like AOC's, will probably be just those on the "fringe left" of The Democratic Party, although his charisma may garner support from more moderate Democrats who will at least want to see how his tenure as Mayor plays out.

And the photo, where he is standing indifferently and staring off in space, while someone with a medical emergency is being attended to, should figure prominently in many of those ads. For those that may have missed it.

He doesn't have a thing to do with the shutdown, but Max seems to think if he had been here instead of Puerto Rico he could have helped those "STARVING IN THE STREETS!" even though he is not Mayor yet and won't be sworn in until January 1, 2026.

There is this strange disconnect in their logic and thinking. If the money was there for Argentina, it should be there for Americans so they don't go hungry. Haven't we always heard from the MAGA crowd about giving money to Ukraine, that instead it should be spent on folks in this country who need it?

Who does he think he is, Kash Patel? Lighten up Francis. Fun Fact: Mamdani is not yet Mayor of NYC. He won't be sworn in until Jan 1, 2026. There is nothing he can do for those who are STARVING IN THE STREETS! or who have lost their SNAP benefits because of Trump until then.

If I did start a thread you would flood the zone with irrelevant videos that people would have to endlessly scroll through so they wouldn't see the music I did post. Notice you never post in the 2025 new music thread at that other place, perhaps you are just too old to experience, enjoy, and share new music.

You're exact words: "4 deaths in 3 weeks" Why mention that if you aren't pointing the finger of blame, directly or indirectly against Disney? "Nothing else from you. No sports , movies or anything" I am very active in the ongoing music threads at the FFA (partcularly for new music 2025 releases). I wish we had something like that here.

Why would a 1 year extension be a non-starter? This would end the shutdown and kick the can down the road for another year. What am I missing here in Thune's thinking, outside of that the don't want to negotiate at all?

Still waiting for @HellToupee to provide any link or proof that Disney is responsible for these 4 tragic deaths.

Of course Brahma is lying about it. Their playbook is to lie about something that they claim you said and when you ask for a link they say the thread was deleted but everyone remembers that you said it.

Translation: "I can't provide any link or proof as to how Disney is to blame for any of these deaths"

OK...so @HellToupee, tell us how these deaths are any reflection on Disney?

No actual news link, just a NewsMax video clip with Dr. Drew, and of course no information whatsover by Hell Toupee as to the cause of these deaths, Were these four deaths seniors who had a coronary?

Wait, what has anyone critical of Trump said here regarding the shutdown that is anywhere close to your statement (see above) which I will quote again for those that might have missed it: "People complaining about flights being cancelled want planes to crash to score political points." We want planes to crash and people killed just to score political points? There is something obviously wrong with you if you believe that and that was not just trolling this thread.

They do? WTF is wrong with you?

Seriously, what is wrong with this man and anyone who supports actions like this?

Don't hold your breath on that, Hell Toupee still says Paul Pelosi's attacker was his gay lover, despite a video of the guy breaking in and a confession to the police that he didn't know Pelosi, nor had ever met him.
