A lot of people don’t know that golfing is exercise! You have to get out of the cart, walk ten feet, swing the club, then schlep your way BACK to the cart and climb back in. THEN you have to do it all over again, and if your ball has a bad lie you need to kick it someplace better, and kicking involves different muscle groups. And don’t get me started about the bending over before teeing off.
I suspect that Bershire Hathaway and the other big companies are looking forward to the coming recession, so they can buy up a bunch of smaller companies on the cheap.
Great. The TrumpSlump will increase the plutocratic ownership of the planet.
That’s greaaaaaaaaat.
With all those clams in the mailbag, it’d probably be slobbering cats.
I dunno. Cats are pretty proud. And clever. They’d probably wait til the dogs brought the mail carrier down, then they’d run the doggies off, and move in on the goodies themselves.
Isn’t Trump infamous for driving the cart onto the Green, which you are not supposed to do?
IOKIDTDI because he’s famous with better ratings than that loser Ahnold. Isn’t that a funny name, Ahnold? Most people don’t know he’s not from America. No! It’s true! Ahnold Schickelgruber, or whatever his name is, is an immigrant from Australia. We should send him back because of his lousy ratings. Then he can clean up that high crime shithole he came from.
Bond: Remarkable… but what does the club secretary have to say?
Auric Smallfingers: “Oh, nothing, Mr. Bond… I own the club.”
Well, he could just buy Greenland.
I don’t live in Lynn – I’m in the next town over. But I’m really close to the line. Sometimes I’ll ride my bike past the GE plant.
I appreciate the offer, but I’m not going to mail you clams in any form, for reasons others have outlined above. And I can get good bagels and pastrami here. It’s not like when I was living in Salt Lake and had to make do with the donut-shaped bread they thought was a bagel (except for that time they had an International Food Festival and someone had real bagels airlifted in from NYC).

Individual 1 judicial nominee Steven Menashi thinks that democracies can only survive if they’re made up of a single ethnicity.
[/QUOTE]I don’t know where “Menashi” is from, but I’d be surprised to find out that someone by that lastname would have been considered “white” in 1950s America.
My best guess is that he’d be considered white, but also considered Jewish, whether or not there ever were any Jews in his family tree.
Indian? Menashi Surname Origin, Meaning & Last Name History
I’m guessing that it’s a corruption of something. Hard to say what the origin is without knowing what the proper spelling of the original version is.
It could simply be a version of “Menashe” (or “Manasseh”, as the English translation has it), one of the tribes of Israel and a fairly common Hebrew name.

The difference between Donald Trump and Greenland? Greenland is not for sale.
I am sad that she got the ‘mean boss’ label (or since this is the Pit, I guess I could say ‘ball-busting bitch’ label) slapped on her to derail her Presidential run.
The Director of the National Economic Council under Trump, Larry Kudlow, was on Meet the Press this morning touting the economy. To his credit, Chuck Todd presented him with his spectacularly bad prediction of “no recession” in December 2007. Kudlow admitted he made a mistake then, but claimed he did better once we got into 2008, which turns out not to be true. He has also been spectacularly wrong so many times that there is a veritable cottage industry finding examples (some documented on his Wikipedia page and some elsewhere, like here and here).
Of course, this record of spectacular failures does not seem to have led him to wonder if his whole economic model is wrong.
Given that Trump’s re-election chances hinge on the economy: if it continues strong, he has a tiny sliver of a hope of re-election; if we head into recession, he’s going to be buried in a landslide. And given that he has absolutely no scruples and will do anything it takes to help himself…what do you think he will do?
I’d say: (a) he’ll fire Fed Chairman Powell and replace him with someone who will cut interest rates, regardless of whether or not they’re needed or even helpful; and (b) come up with another deficit-busting tax cut.
