they know they are going to be ****canned and their successors will be made to cut later on so they are trying to thwart...

none of this is going to matter to these people and the senate will confirm. There's 50 cowards.

It's right across the street from where the Bucs play so traffic shouldn't be a problem locally. It's a nice complex. I was there in July of last year for a game that was eventually never played but we hung out and ate and walked around. They recreated the Yankee monuments outside. I was really looking forward to watching a game because the stadium is nice. It looked like a mini major league stadium. They have murals on the cement walls in the concourse of great Yankees.

make bigotry great again

I like the Onion but their humor is the kind where you get the joke in the headline but they take it too far so that it becomes not funny. Brevity matters. What would be great is if they make it just satirical enough so that someone may not realize it. that's the best kind. Maybe some idiots don't realize Jones lost the site so they can fool the fools.

that might be considered a step down for him. I never ever thought we'd see a successful white mayor in Detroit again but he wielded his skills learned under the McNamara machine. Wayne County Politics is very lucrative for some people. It's a legalized racket. I just had dinner with a friend last night who quit the county earlier this year after 10 years. He didn't want to play the game but to get any kind of advancement in that organization requires a lot of backslapping and working on the right people's campaigns, etc. You don't just go to work and do a job. It's all political.

one potential bright spot.... he's getting some of the bigger kooks out of the legislature.

I suspect it's spam because she sent me a direct message...

I have not. Going out to the movies is a pain so I'm going to wait for streaming.

That kind of comment is uncalled for. You have no idea what his working hours are or what his situation is. It could be interpreted as a personal attack.

Elon had hair transplants, his face worked on, and he promotes boner pills and testosterone.... some would call that "gender affirming care".

He actually does. He uses his feed just for that topic it seems like. He’s a good mayor otherwise. I’ve seen so many positive changes in service and operations. If you didn’t see his twitter feed or see him on fox 2 arguing it on The Edge or whatever you would never know those things. He doesn’t talk about it in public or appearances. I don’t like his take on that issue but I have met him twice and he’s fine. When running for office I had a sign up for his opponent, who is a friend. He said “I guess you don’t want any literature?” I was outside raking leaves. I told him “nothing personal. He’s a friend and I always told him to run once O’reilly was done so I have to support him”. He said “I can’t argue with that”. I also told him that this wasn’t a Trump thing and if he wins I know he will do well. I voted for him already in is state races. you all know my position on this war. But once it entered into Lebanon I started seeing the fear in some of my friends. They have family and friends in the line of fire. When they see each other they immediately ask if everything is ok. the mayor did not endorse Trump. He only said Harris didn’t earn his endorsement but told people that Trump cannot win and to vote their conscience. Yes he was toeing tbe line and being cute. But the mayors of Dearborn Heights and Hamtramck endorsed Trump. The Dearborn mayor would not have changed anybody’s mind really.

I also use threads but to me it’s more like Reddit. I get lured into it from either FB or Instagram because they push a topic. But the algorithm is way too targeted. I read some threads about air travel and I get them all know. But it’s also a clickbait haven. Someone just trolling for engagement. And do not ever click a picture of a female because that will never go away. I wish I could modify it. I don’t need that stuff. but sometimes I come across a topic that interests me.

They should hold the press conference at The Great Commoner in Dearborn, where Trump visited the Friday before Election Day, and invite the mayors of Dearborn Hts and Hamtramck along. They both endorsed him. Lots of “double takes” going on in my fine city. Wait for the deportations.

we all know if the results and trends had been exactly reversed that Trump would have called Harris that night and practically disappear a week later. Right?

Private schools should pull themselves up by thier bootstraps and get their money the real american way, by hard work, not by mooching off the public and accepting handouts from the government. Have some bake sales and make the kids go door to door begging for money. Maybe sell some T shirts or Entertainment Books for 50% off a pizza when you buy another pizza at menu price.

Rubio strikes me as one of the “I know this is all bull**** but I have to play along” republicans.

Out of sight, out of mind…. they can have a clean conscience. Vouchers are a scam. Taxes aren’t linked to people. If it were the DoD wouldn’t have a budget.

Schools that get to select their students do well. one reason public schools always score worse than private is because they have to take every student. Many students have disabilities across the board along with language barriers and horrible home lives. Many are homeless. It might surprise you to find out they don’t do as well. They also cost more to take care of. So when you callously speak about bloated budgets you should understand what much of that money goes to. It’s not an apples to apples comparison. 60-70 years ago these kids were discarded and thrown into institutions and forgotten about. You know…back in the “good old days”. It takes a special kind of cruelty to ignore our most vulnerable kids and citizens but with today’s GOP that’s ultimately the point isn’t it?

I live near Greenfield Village. Every year they do Holiday Nights for a few weeks, which ends in a fireworks show. Every night on our neighborhood FB page someone asks if anybody hears loud booms or gunshots.

Pharmacy drive thru should be for pickups. Not other business. Take that **** inside you lazy bum.

It’s to create a peasant class to do all the work of the migrants. Educated people are costly.

Very boot strappy isn’t it?

Franky anybody who claims to love America cannot be a Trump voter because his ideals and way he ruled run counter to what America stood for. Like his policies all you want and I don’t give a **** whether you served in the military or not. It’s a direct conflict. You can pick which flag to wear, the American flag or the Trump flag. But if you have both they don’t line up. Just like the confederate flag.
