This is the right call by the judge, but I was really enjoying how badly they were backfiring on Trump and MAGA. If this was one of his October surprises, all I can say is, “well played, dumbass”.

A surprise that is planned isn’t a surprise. Remember that when whatever happens happens, call it out for the BS it is and ridicule Trump for thinking he can con us into foregoing our election.

I’m looking forward to the “Marco Rubio isn’t a citizen” attacks from the anti-birthright citizenship crowd when he runs for president in 2028.

Is there a reason you skipped the CO governor’s race in your polls/forecast?

Not remembering peoples’ names is my favorite part of in-person socializing.

I’m going to say reason #1 is they need suckers to sell into.

Inflows will stay high as people dollar cost average into positions and yields remain competitive with long-term stock market projections.

Won’t be in time for this election, but we’re relocating to Charlotte next year and look forward to helping fix crap like this.

When Democrats win in a landslide next month don’t forget to tell every MAGA “Christian” you know that it’s God’s will. Get creative with it: postcards, billboards, skywriting, burned into their lawns, forced tattoos, it’s all God’s will, after all.

Did you adjust for COVID vaccination rates?

The idea that pollsters have been unable to decipher the mysteries of calling and texting cellphones for over 30 years is insanely dumb. It’s absolutely ridiculous the number of people who believe this.

Well, Chuck, good thing what you want is totally irrelevant.

I had always assumed these sites just acted like market makers and profited off the spread on odds and various fees. If true, they should t care whether you win or lose. Just that your betting volume stays high.

I hope attorneys know that “revolutionize” means “reduce”.

Grounding Rod @groundingrod.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yeah, also NAL but with significant commercial experience. FM isn’t just a catch-all for “stuff we didn’t expect”. I’d need to see the specific language, ofc. At a minimum I’m sending that notice to legal and drafting a response that we reject their claim, giving us time to sort out our position.

If I’m on the other side, I’d be very tempted to argue Force Majeure isn’t applicable here and head to court.

I’m thinking not up and to the right.

I’m willing to give Peltola wide discretion in determining messaging that works in Alaska. One of the most unique and niche districts in the US. Us lower 48 pundits need to sit this out.

Seeing a Supreme Court Justice repeat partisan lies in public gives away the game of SCOTUS being non-partisan. At least on the right.

Developers love using pretexts to avoid zoning and other laws & ordinances when they stand in the way of their plans. It’s all Trump knows and he treats the presidency like his businesses. Pathetic.

The comments must have been amazing because ORGOP deleted all of them and have disabled comments on that post.

That many men are misogynistic until the consequences of misogyny directly affect their child?

You cannot be a patriot and vote for this anti-Constitution and anti-American MAGA Party.

I mean, if you want things to move slow is there a better choice?

Anecdotal example, my niece is a postdoc in atmospheric science and is staying in Leeds as long as possible instead of returning to the US. Maybe permanently. I think the world smells an opportunity to attract talent and will start finding the money to do so.

This is 100% because I just got here.

To my eternal shame, GenX is the most Trumpian generation. White dude GenX’ers, specifically. Dammit. Now I want to go punch members of my cohort. Again.

Turns out even “the most conservative generation” would like to have consensual sex now and again.

I’ve been a registered Professional Engineer in the US for nearly 30 years but only learned of this tradition for my Canadian brethren about a decade ago. Might be a little jealous, NGL.

His “life”. They need to hit the time he hosted SNL and tried to join Earth, Wind, and Fire on their musical segment but they hustled him off stage - on camera.

I’m intrigued. Bring on Strahd.

This guy’s lawyer needs to push for a jury trial or for the DA to decline prosecution. All in.

Will be hilarious when the next D president cancels this nonsense summarily, leaving the grifters high and dry.

Where’s the disclaimer that the author is a former Heritage Foundation employee and current MAGA political consultant? Any MAGA candidate is automatically disqualified from the reins of power. Especially in any kind of law enforcement role.

I would never have used the bathroom so often as on that flight. “Excuse me” <bump> “Sorry, coming back.” <bigger bump> “Must have been the lettuce!” <running though him linebacker style>
