It’s disappointing to see new posts here that are about some hijack instead of the main attraction.
Welcome to the Pit!
Well…when an assassin nearly cut down our deal leader in his prime, all but his ear being saved by Divine Proividence, there was exactly no investigation. No grillings, no congressional hearings, no nothing. Either than means your prediction is wrong, or…the assassination was faked.
It’s also quite possible that after being gutted by DOGE and the like, the “max DOJ treatment” is extremely underwhelming.
At least it’s not 60 posts in a row of fish puns this time.
Folks are still floundering for a hook.
The Trump is dying thread: come for the death, stay for the halibut.
The problem was in how the OP named the thread – no way could they live up to that level over time. He should have taken a hint from that old joke.
Post Day One: DJT was on the front lawn of the White House, standing beside a folding ladder, looking thoughtfully (work with me here) up at the edge of the roof.
Maybe they’d be willing to change it to something like " Latest Signs that Trump is Dying". Examples of both mental and physical decay welcome.
First they let us look at the appetizer (McConnell), then they give us the appetizer (Graham). Dammit, I want the main entree!
With apologies to Ernst Lubitsch: They named an ice cream after McConnell, they made a cracker out of Graham, and Trump is going to end up as a piece of cheese!
As I’ve said earlier, I bought the second-biggest box of fireworks Costco offered in anticipation. I wanted to extend it a little by buying a finale – one of those things that go off for five minutes after you light it – from a tent vendor but didn’t get around to it. Now I’m torn between him lasting until New Years and not.
At what point does JD’s taking over becomes a term for him vs. a free ride?
It’s two years. If he takes over prior to 12:00 pm ET, January 20, 2027, then it will be considered a full term. After that date/time, it’s a free ride, as you put it.
I wouldn’t put money on Eyeliner Vance winning an election. He’s got all the charisma of Dukakis.
Now, if Bowen Yang doing an impression of JD Vance ran, I’d give him a real shot. Now you have someone with charisma.
I don’t buy fireworks, because everybody else does. But I’m pretty sure I could buy anything (e.g., mortars, etc.) year-round from the reservation.
For some reason the reservations here are big on cigarettes but don’t sell fireworks year 'round, and when they do, it’s the more minor Arizona-legal stuff, same as the tent vendors. They might be leery of people setting things on fire with their goods.
When I was looking stuff up to make sure nothing had changed from last time I looked I found this. I wish I’d bought one just for the irony. Like its namesake, it’s just a large number of weak, little shots, nothing as spectacular as with the more expensive finales.
I wouldn’t give anyone who used that artwork a dime… hell not even a penny. 
My own experience being IT support for a tribe years ago was that they set up fireworks sales up to and through July 4 and then dismantled it all because there isn’t enough interest to justify it year-round. They make a shit ton around the holiday but not enough to keep it operating the rest of the year.
Not even around New Year, which seems weird in retrospect. Then again, while some people light off fireworks for that holiday, it’s not like everyone does it unlike Independence Day.
Trump says because Diet Coke kills grass, it also kills cancer cells.
