Do you have a 2000 year mortgage? Or do you live in hell?

Leftists are deluding themselves.

Just like I deluded myself that there was no way Trump could win a second term.

It's middle row left...

My best friend's dad recently passed. They got his DD214 and were going to memorialize his silver star and purple heart.

Turns out purple heart was real, silver star was not. Dude was telling stories, giving presentations, stealing valor for 40 fucking years.

Not saying this is the case here, but man, you just don't know with some people.

I guess I have to buy a Nazi flag and learn how to goose step now.

I keep thinking about something I read on Lemmy not long ago; I know people that I would need to keep Anne Frank secret from.

The other thought is this is a case where they absolutely refuse to see the emperor has no clothes. And only for the simple reason that he gives them someone to hate.

All these people need someone to hate and they don't dare see that about themselves.

A lot of Republican cans hate Ted Cruz here in Texas. They can't stand him. They think he's an ass.

But he's a Republican and that's all they fucking see in that booth.

Look at who is in office.

The governor, the Lt. governor, the state AG. They are ALL really terrible people, doing really terrible things. And the Republicans here don't give a shit.

The problem is getting the left to fucking vote.

And that cunt, Kim Ogg in Houston, endorsed Ted Cruz. (Side note, there's something rotten in Houston right now though and I have no idea what's going on. I have NO idea who to trust anymore.)

So an airfield is not giving permission to land?

An airfield is not the FAA/FEMA.

Did they file a flight plan. Did this helicopter call Musk while it was to flying around? What, does it have an Elon bat-phone in the cockpit?

How much supplies can a civilian helicopter carry?

Answer not a whole lot and is a terribly inefficient way to transport supplies to an airfield. Helicopters are best for getting into hard to reach locations to pull people out and get them to hospitals.

My guess is some rich friends tried to make an unplanned trip and wanted to land and/or get gas and were told to fuck off. Or something along those lines.

I'm gonna have to go with Bernie's leadership on this one.

I trust him more than either of negotiating leads.

Your point on the demographics is key though. At some point, something's got to give. Unions and GoP don't mix, and for labor to not actively fight Trump is like shooting yourself in the face. It is so fucking short sighted and TERRIBLE leadership. It is leopards ate my face level stupidity.

When that major drama unfolded with him getting booted then re-hired. It was super fucking obvious that it was all about the money, the data, and the salesmanship He is nothing but a fucking tech-bro. Part Theranos, part Musk, part SBF, part (whatever that pharma asshat was), and all fucking douchebag.

AI is fucking snake oil and an excuse to scrape every bit of data like it's collecting every skin cell dropping off of you.

And it's blocked by a lawsuit in another state.

$1.5 billion won't actually get you a whole lot.

Better than nothing though. Considering utilities can do this as cap projects, I feel like this money is better spent on bridges/roads.

Who is going to own the infrastructure when it is complete? Outside of like three main utilities, there are no state owned utilities. (Tennessee, Bonneville, and LCRA, I believe).
