Yeah, remember the whole cave rescue thing in Thailand? Maybe Elon just wanted to bring the kids to Epstein Island on his sub.

The idea that Dems have been quiet about this until now is absolutely pathetic. TikTok is worth hundreds of billions and the deal went through for $15B. Why would China do that? What do they want more than hundreds of billions? What does Trump want and what is he willing to give up Taiwan to get?

They are also supported by tens of millions of American voters who apparently didn't bother to ask themselves the question as to what deporting 10 million+ people would look like in practice. Or more likely they did consider it but thought it would just impact the browns.

Dems should have pushed through bringing back the full SALT deduction. If they had, someone to the left of AOC could have won that district.

I think we're going to see some stories about how Trump was "spooked" by the bond market. Not sure it will make any difference.

That's one of the most perspective changing things for me over the last 10 years. The realization that many (most?) people are really dumb and will just parrot insane things they see on TV/social media. Obama was born in Kenya and Qanon is real? High school graduates buying this stuff is nuts.

But the same play was definitely a late hit on the QB. The difference in the 2 penalties was only 2 yards. The first PI call did not change the game at all.

No. The joke is that Americans on the left honestly look at Iran and would welcome a massive bank failure here if it meant there's a shot at regime change. It's not a very funny joke though.

I have 3 kids. There are 4 apps used regularly. GameChanger, TeamSnap, MeetMobile, whatsapp. My kids have been on a couple dozen teams over the last few years, each team uses these apps. None involve the kids messaging and none require my kid to have a phone. I cackle at people who claim otherwise.

Sure. All these things use apps. The apps are for the parents, not kids. There are no kids communicating on the TeamSnap, Meet mobile, or Game Changer team groups I'm in, though I'm only in a couple dozen.

Disagree. I have a middle school kid. Lot of activities. Swimming, basketball, baseball, band, chorus, scouts. No phone. He has a non-apple watch that has maybe 15 numbers programmed in. It's fine.
