Must be nice getting to spend tax money to pay for her vacations though, no?

Dude, you have no idea how awesome it is.

(I say that hypothetically. Maybe you do have some idea how awesome it is, and I just don't know about it. I'm drawing conclusions based upon my reading of the tone of your post, which I interpret to be sarcastic / envious.)

I spent pretty much the whole of 1999-2012 getting paid to travel the world (and also do serious engineering while there), partly funded by US tax dollars. I miss that phase of my life immensely, and I offer this piece of advice to anyone listening: if you can work your way into a position where other people are paying you to go on a 13 year long holiday, do it. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and you will NOT regret saying "yes" to the offer.

Must be nice? Apparently you’ve never travelled halfway around the world for work. I have, and it’s no party. But if that’s all ya got, i’ll take it.

Thoughts?

Why do the numbers on both those graphs seem to not match up? Is it 10 trillion or 1 trillion?

And suddenly, just like that, I'm in favor of letting all the "migrants" into the US and giving them free gov't healthcare...

Which numbers / columns, specifically, are you referring to?




Not sure why the sudden change of mind, but ok. Here's a photo of a hummingbird.

Nevermind. I was thinking since it was posted the two pictures had some correlation with each other. I guess they don't.

Ok, I give up.

In what universe does a report about a retail theft qualify for inclusion in a "Political / Current Events" thread which is otherwise mostly about the President, the Congrefs, and other machinations of governance?

THE BATTLE AT JOHN F. KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, 1776
by LAUREN TOUSIGNANT



https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...948ea4664b.png



It was before the dawn of September 18, 1776. Great Britain and the 13 American colonies were in the thick of the Revolutionary War. The Battles of Lexington and Concord had been fought. The Declaration of Independence had been signed. It’d be another three days before the British Invasion of New York City — which is remembered as The Great Fire of 1776.

But this was a day in history unlike any other.

When the British Army’s ships docked at what is now known as Jamaica Bay — the lagoon on the southern side of Long Island — the Minutemen were ready and waiting.

The militia hid in the long lines at customs and the multitude of Hudson News’ stands, amongst the travelers fumbling to gather their belongings after going through security, as well as the ones asking if this was the terminal with Shake Shack. Corners of America the British had never seen, paths they couldn’t possibly navigate.

When the British marched through Terminal 2 and stopped to ask if they could order from the Delta Sky Club Menu, the Minutemen attacked from the CIBO Express. When they marched through the airport’s largest terminal, T4, our brave army men took them down hidden among the dozens of airlines and thousands of travelers rushing to make their last-minute gate change. When the Redcoats made it through the international gate at Terminal 1, the guerrilla war men surprised them from behind the racks of Saint Laurent clothing and displays of Coach handbags. Luxury goods that the British generals would predictably stop for — King George III would have gone absolutely mad for the Hermes Crocodile Himalayan Birken bag.

Terminal by terminal, the British Army was turned back and vanquished by our civilian colonists. Their fallen soldiers forever lost to the stampeding heard of flyers rushing to their gates or the closest option their gate had for alcohol.

It was our brave soldiers of the Great American Colonies from the ’70s that bravely protected JFK at its most vulnerable hour in order to ensure that it would remain exactly as it was. Free from running on time. Free from becoming an efficient hub of international travel. Free from having a Shake Shack in every terminal.

Which is why, to this day, we remember The Battle at John F. Kennedy International Airport by making sure the British Airways terminal permanently remains under construction.

Because America will never be under construction from the British, ever again. God Bless the JFK Airport.

imagine if he said our ports as it was written...

A brilliant explanation. If only Sir Donald were as adept at reading from the teleprompter as, well, literally every single on-air talent employed by my TV station, we might actually have a shot at global supremacy.

(pause.)


Seriously, I'm far from being anti-Trump, but you gotta face some facts here. If you're gonna lay out a full commie-spread May Day event, at least read the words scrolling before you correctly, and maybe process them at a cognitive level before speaking them. There is no possible interpretation of this which isn't an embarrassment on a global scale.

His teleprompter went out. And it was covered in rain. He made a gaffe, he didn't write the speech, and the fireworks showw was the best.

Every other country is inherently embarrassing IMHO. Who cares? Economy is banging, and we arent the world's bitch.

Obama lied to us daily and sneakily passed a shitty healthcare system that would "nessecarily increase prices". But at least he wasn't embarrassing when he bowed to China.

Meanwhile:

Friday on CNN’s “New Day”

BIDEN: “Look at what’s happening with Putin. While Putin is trying to undo our elections, he is undoing elections in Europe. Look at what’s happening in Hungary, look what’s happening in Poland, look what’s happening. You think that would happen on my watch or Barack’s watch? You can’t answer that, but I promise it wouldn’t have, and it didn’t.”

this literally happened in their watch...

But I guess if it didn't happen on Biden's watch, does that mean the Mueller investigation was in fact a witch hunt?

also:
Mexico is actively trying to undo our elections and Democrats are doing everything they can to encourage it. greedy corporate fat-cat social media is doing the same and again, democrats are colluding to make it happen.


Also:

Russian hackers.
