I mean, besides AZ being stuck in 1864, TIL that parts of Fl and parts of Oregon are separated by only one time zone.
If that's the case, let's just eliminate Eastern and Pacific time zones and just move everyone into Central and Mountain and get rid of daylight savings at the same time.

The Democrats were so shrewd and stealthy that they pulled off the greatest political heist in history involving upwards of hundreds of thousands of co-conspirators without leaving a shred of evidence, so much so that every court tossed challenges to the election, and yet they forgot to give themselves a super majority. Brilliant.
I mean, you don't want to make it TOO OBVIOUS that you are cheating. /S

Worth a listen. It's a great podcast overall, provides some great detail of what Congress is doing and why. This episode about what's going on in Israel provided me new information and came with links to verify. Well worth the listen. Just about 90 minutes or so. This is a podcast, that if you are interested in politics and what and why the US is doing what it is doing, I would highly recommend subscribing, IMO this is a non-partisan podcast that doesn't always paint a rosey picture of what the US is doing.

i don't see the SC ruling until after november. they will drag it out and then give trump unlimited power is what my guess is. hope i am wrong and they make a quick decision for the good of the country but am not very optimistic that they will.
They have to rule before their current session is over. This session ends at the end of June. We should know by end of June if CO (and other states) can remove him from the ballot and if there is presidential immunity. If the SC says there is presidential immunity, that gives Biden at least 6 months to "hire seal team 6" or finally do some crazy ish that the Rs have been accusing him of since his term started.

Newsome is for sure the next D candidate, right? After this election? It probably won't be Harris and I really don't think she even has any desire to run.
I could see both AOC and Klobuchar throwing their hats in the ring, both are national names and may want to try for the big chair. Might be 4-8 years too soon for AOC, but Klobuchar seems like a strong candidate to run. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Pete Buttigieg try again and maybe Josh Shapiro. All that said, it's Newsom's nomination to lose, unless something comes up in the next 4 years. ie, Harris becomes President and shocks everyone and knocks it out of the park.

I'm no legal eagle, but can the judge use this and fine her for perjury or contempt of court or anything? I know witnesses cannot knowingly lie without consequences, not sure if that holds true for council, especially when asking for continuance.

The electoral college. Biden is going to run away with the popular vote, the question is will the margins be enough to win? Biden probably needs to win the popular vote by 4.5% or higher to win the electoral college, a margin of millions of votes.

Popular vote is meaningless. Biden can win the popular vote by 10 million and still lose the election. It's all about which states he wins, and Dems need to be careful because of this. We all know the red states and blue states. It'll be once again the battleground states. Wisconsin, Ohio, MIchigan, Florida, Arizona etc. And with the 'Brain Drain' happening in Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Indiana those states could start turning red instead of purple. Typically the young/educated group is a left lean and if they are leaving these states to go to California or a traditional blue state, it doesn't help Biden at all, the key then would be is enough of the drainage going to Texas, Florida etc to help recoup some of the lost electoral votes. If enough drainage happens to the Pacific coast and NY from the 'grain belt' area, regardless of the popular vote, Dems may not have enough electoral votes to ever win the presidency.

She graduated law school. Unless she is complete dips#!t for a lawyer, she she understand the concept of paying off her loan. I have two brothers that are lawyers, putting themselves through school and paid off their loans in full on time. What this lady is complaining about is nonsense, especially if she is living in $1,000,000 home while b!^@hing about her student loan.
A lawyer her age should be making well over $250,000 and have no problem paying off her loan in full on time.
The reason the payoff balance is MORE than the initial lone 11 years later while making a lawyer salary is her fault not the rest of society’s.
Dollars to donuts she understands her loan now, whether she did when she got them, is pure speculation, but she’s pointing the issue, not saying woe is me. The issue isn’t about her. You are missing the point completely, not surprising as you stay on the edge of issues trying to dunk on people with some asinine point but more times than not you
It’s quite comical watching the spin and continue on missing the main point, staying with your fringe scenarios that you think make you sound informed on the topic when everyone can see that you are just a GOP cuck happily lapping up the mess while those who you support openly reach into your wallet while telling how great it can be, knowing you’ll never be included.-

Good for her that her family have an income that she can afford to pay her student loan and still get this house, I'm not sure why Greg (or Fox/Republicans et al) is questioning this. I don't see where she is in default on her loan, just mentioning, as I posted earlier, what one of the biggest problems with student loans is, if she got a loan for $180,000 and has been paying for 11 years, the payoff balance should not be more than the initial loan, let alone over 10% increase in payoff amount. This is a predatory loan that should be fixed. Retroactively fixing predatory student loans would go along way in fixing the student loan issues that too many people are dealing with and are not nearly as fortunate as Alessandra. Doing so would be a boon for the economy and coming to a solution for this issue that is financially crippling so many Americans should be a top tier priority for all elected officials.

I’m
the biggest issue with student loans is the predatory nature of the interest rates and scamming 18 year olds that have no idea on what a good loan is versus a bad loan. I'm more in favor of restructuring all current student loans and future loans to be more manageable. Just making up random numbers as an example, but something like all student loans are at 5% interest compounded annually, interest is waved if your adjusted gross income is under $50,000 annually for people filing single and under $80,000 for all other filing options, and still have these excluded from bankruptcy filings. People shouldn't be paying monthly minimum and seeing the payoff amount go up, which is happening, because of predatory loans. This could also go in the Education thread, but there needs to be a financial literacy class (teaching kids about credit cards, loans, investments etc) that is required for graduation. Personally I think it should be two classes a more basic class you take sophomore or junior year of HS and an advanced class you take your senior year, to help kids understand what happens when you get credit cards at 18, when you get your 100,000 student loan and the risks involved with that. Yes, parents need to help with this as well, but there are A LOT of financially illiterate parents out there and these kids have no idea what they are getting into when signing that document.

I'd rather have Mark Jackson gone. If the NBC rumors are true, I hope JVG and Jalen get picked up by them. Mark Jackson can retire, or better yet, go become the HC of the celtics.

@Guy Chamberlinas the resident Warriors fan, what are your thoughts on CP3 joining? I think you had to get rid of Poole to have any chance of Dray coming back. So, in that regard it's a win. Just not sure about CP3s style of play fitting with what Kerr wants to do.

I like this, I think this actually hurts boston more than helps them. Of all these trades that have just happened, I'm really curious about the fit of CP3 in Golden State. His pace seems slower than what the Warriors run. It'll be interesting to see how that works.

In fairness, Wizards wanted flexibility. CP3 is an expiring that they're buying out most likely, while Beal has like 4-5 years left.
From the way I understand CP3's contract, he had a partially guaranteed contract for roughly 5 million. Once traded, it became fully guaranteed at 30 Million. Going to cost the Wiz a lot to get rid of him and that's why they are trying to find a 3rd team to ship CP3 to and maybe get more pieces. No one wants him at that price. A lot of interest for vet minimum for him. Which CP3 will be for since he's getting 30 Mill from the Wiz.

Depth was already an issue with the Suns. This isn't going to help. And based on the new CBA, this puts them in a bad spot with KD, Book and now Beal under contract for the next 3 years and they control no draft picks for the next 5-6 years. And I can't imagine Ayton coming back either. Going to be interesting to watch them build a quality roster that can actually do any damage in the West. Starting 5, when healthy, will be great. Not sure this team can stay healthy and when they bring in subs...YIKES.

Looking at this thread, the one thing that stood out to me, BellWest has a lot of young offensive talent. They should be able to keep up their winning ways for a few more years. If they could just find guys to be average on defense, look out.

Not sure if there is a more embarrassing and just pathetic way to end what could and should have been a hall of fame career. And now all reports have how admins looked the other way with him and allowed so many other DUI offenses in the past. Good riddance Huggins, the sport will be better without you.

All 4 first games I thought were really good and had some drama late. LSU was the most dominant, but once they went to the pen, it got a little interesting for a minute.

USF, Wichita St and Gonzaga to the Big East....no basis for this other than Gonzaga being courted by the Big East and Big XII. They would fit better in the Big East, as they have no football program, but would want/need a travel partner. Hence adding USF. Adding WSU for the potential loss of UConn. I could also see adding VCU instead of WSU if/when UConn leaves.

Softer penalty than I was expecting. Especially considering they didn't want to disrupt the Finals with his punishment announcement, made it seem to be more extreme than it turned out to be.
QuoteThe NBA has suspended Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant 25 games to start the 2023-2024 season, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski on Friday.
The suspension will come with conditions for his return, sources told ESPN.
The NBA's investigation into the incident has been completed for weeks, but commissioner Adam Silver waited until the conclusion of the NBA Finals to announce the suspension because he did not want to distract from the league's championship series.

She can find plenty of jobs at tattoo parlors, Hot Topic, sex shops and some warehouses. Just not at 98% of customer facing jobs. Or maybe she can move her @$$ to Europe where they are "more accepting" (they really aren't) of her look and she can be gainfully employed there.
