DMC Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I haven't really looked into the story beyond the headline, but did Carrots end up getting eaten? If so I think that's a consequence worth considering if Trump continues to refuse to concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragile Bird Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I hope those of you with mortgages have all re-financed at a lower rate. Apparently there are 19 M people out there who have not yet done so. Go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are 19 M people out there who have not yet done so. Go for it! Since I lost my job in February we have been pushing really, really hard to pay off our mortgage. We owe so little even if we got two percentage points it would be more expensive to refi than to just keep paying at our current rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Sen. John Barasso of Wyoming was just on CNBC and he pretty clearly indicated that Republicans are going to be obstructionist when it comes to Biden’s cabinet picks. He pointed out he voted against Janet Yellen’s appointment the last time around and while he was directly asked if that meant he wasn’t going to approve her appointment as head of the Treasury Department by saying “all candidates have to appear before us and answer questions”, it seemed pretty clearly he wouldn’t be supporting her. Sounded like he’ll fight tooth and nail against anything higher than $500 B for stimulus, “because it isn’t needed”. He pointed to the increase in the stock market over the last four years. When a dipshit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindwalker Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 The turkey pardoned last year has been killed of a bit later... It's all fake!!!

I really hope that at the very least he'll be prosecuted for the grifting in office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope that at the very least he'll be prosecuted for the grifting in office. The problem is that he’s violated “norms” more than “laws” on the Federal level. Federal prosecution will be legally difficult, politically fraught, and potentially really damaging institutionally if the prosecution fails. I think we should make explicitly illegal all the “norms” Trump has violated. So that in the future President’s cannot claim “but it’s not illegal”. I do hope the State investigations into Trump and his grift yields fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about missed titles. The more obvious miss was obviously In a Farce of Transition Or Entering the Trasitional Farce or something along those lines.

Fragile Bird Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Another story getting big play on CNBC this morning was about massive unemployment money fraud in California. When I say massive, it appears to be the largest unemployment claim fraud in the history of California. It looks like someone (I’m guessing it must be a prison authority employee) submitted a huge number of prisoners’ names for unemployment benefits, some names getting 16 applications in. Murderers, rapists, death row inmates, all got cash, a lot direct deposited into their accounts. Scott Peterson, the guy who murdered his wife, was one of the names listed. Apparently it was uncovered when someone overheard chatter between some convicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
