I'm as guilty as anyone. I was vehemently opposed to Kavanaugh and Barrett. I've been surprised by a lot of the rulings, in a good way. I'm more concerned, now, with Clarence Thomas's wacky wife. I hope he can leave her at home when faced with a Trump ruling.
It's ironic how Trump supporters focused on his business acumen and wealth when he was first running for office, but now those same people are digging into their savings to bail him out.Nice of her to help out her father in law. Republicans have lost their whole party.

‘A deceptive tactic’: Nancy Pelosi disclosed a 7-figure bet on NVIDIA over the Christmas holidays — despite recent efforts to ‘permanently ban’ lawmakers from trading stocks
Disclosure shows the former house speaker bought call options on Nov. 22.
Huge day for Pelosi today. Nvidia stock is ripping, up 15% - that makes it up over 60% since she bought a bunch of calls on it 3 months ago in what was her largest stock trade in the last 3 years. Best inside trader I've ever seen. How is this legal?
Yet you can't walk through her district without stepping over homeless bums in opioid comas and human shit. "Let them eat cake", indeed.
I strongly disagree. My wife and I spent the week leading up to the UNC-Cal game in 2018 in San Francisco. The only area we saw in the city that was sketchy was the Tenderloin. Otherwise, we found it a clean and beautiful city.
If she were arrested, indicted and tried... I wonder if her cult followers would pay for her legal fees?‘A deceptive tactic’: Nancy Pelosi disclosed a 7-figure bet on NVIDIA over the Christmas holidays — despite recent efforts to ‘permanently ban’ lawmakers from trading stocks

Genuine questions and not arguing with your right to hold such opinions, but:
Your perception is not uncommon from a historical standpoint, so I don't dispute it and believe you in terms of what you experienced. But, that was six years ago and the change that has purportedly taken place is all the more bitter because of exactly what you saw. I think the point is how great it used to be compared to where it is today. They even had to clean it up when the Chinese came to visit. I think many of our major cities are having major issues with homelessness and addiction. SF is just one of the poster children.
His wife is one of those loonies that believes Trump won the 2020 election. I hope he can forget who his wife is if he's ever in a situation where his ruling can affect anything related to the 2020 election.
This applies across both parties, but it's pretty simple:
I said I was wrong in my perspective. Go back through the thread (probably in mid-2018 area) and read it. It's really not worth it to me. I misjudged them- NPI. That's all that matters now.
Her belief one way or the other doesn't mean that Thomas can't set it aside on any given issue. It kinda comes with the territory and applies across the board to all of them. For example, when Ketanji Brown Jackson was giving testimony before the Senate, she couldn't answer the question of what a woman was. They didn't call in her husband to find out if he could define it for her because it didn't matter what his thoughts were either way. I didn't like her as a nominee and I surely don't like her rulings/politics, but there is no denying that she is definitively qualified regardless of who is or isn't her spouse.
Did you read the second sentence? "I hope he can..." I never said it was beyond him to do it.
Fair enough. But the misjudging at the time and the reasons for it are probably a really good illustration for us all to take a step back and ponder this stuff before we jump off the cliff.
Well, when I see "us all" doing that, it will be the first time.
I did read it. But this started with you expressing concern over her and that's exactly what the more progressives want to happen.
Are you talking about Nebraska? I would imagine at least a couple new grain elevators have been added to the skyline.
She wouldn't need them to - she's worth $200M+ despite having been a career politician making a paltry $200k/year. She'd have them covered several times over just off what she's fleeced them on via those NVDA calls.
Is this your way of engaging me in conversation in the hopes of launching another roast-poast that isn't profoundly stupid for a change?
Exactly this. Coincidentally, I was also there in Fall of 2018 (not for the UNC/Cal game though). And I actually shared Noir's opinion of the city. Very nice place. However I was also there a month and a half ago for a work conference. It's amazing how much different the situation is a mere 5 years later. Sad, really.
I guess DJT is flat broke?
On the whole i agree, though i haven't said "destroy the justice system" I think there are some individuals on the court that are close to extreme (relative to norms), or paid to be hard-core, right-wing.
there's a twitter account unusual_whales or something similar that posts unique trades where tons of money are made "overnite" and trades involving congressmen and the overlap is a stinker.‘A deceptive tactic’: Nancy Pelosi disclosed a 7-figure bet on NVIDIA over the Christmas holidays — despite recent efforts to ‘permanently ban’ lawmakers from trading stocks

Don't think anyone suggested it was. The real trick would be for us to get this info in real time so we could all share in what Congress was about to do impacting investments.
Translation: I've never been outside of Lynchburg except on trips to the Roanoke Applebee's for special occasions.
I think you're close to understanding much of the reason why they (anti-Trumpers of any stripe) want to paint him as an untrustworthy liar, and strive to be rid of him. He poses a constant threat to expose a mountain of skullduggery.
No one is painting him as anything. He's got that covered all by himself- he has all the paint and all the brushes. This fantasy that he's draining the swamp is horseshit. Yeah... He's a real straight-shooter! A regular Eagle Scout, he is. If he were the threat that you're trying to pass-off, someone would have shot him by now. Or, an unfortunate plane crash, perhaps.
I nominate your post as Most Predictable Response of the Year. I think it'll hold up.
I like that argument: Trump must not be a threat or he'd have caught the dead.
