No joke. It was part of some thread I was reading saying he'd be making a statement at 5pm ET

RFK Jr. is supposedly making a statement right now.

What bothered me was that she was a bad liar. A POTUS has to be a good liar. (Ducking gunfire at the airport anyone?)

Thank you Joe! Let's go Kamala! Hey, how about Obama for Veep? That would give the ticket a boost and put the GOP in a tizzy.

Monument to the victims of the Holodomor in Luhansk destroyed by the Russians

Russia importing North Koreans, Indians, Syrians and now...

Just great. That's what IT is hoping to move to this year.

Dems - please settle the POTUS candidate situation. I'm tired of hearing about it everywhere I go. Voters - vote for a platform, vote for a Veep who'd take over should anyone croak, but vote. Nobody's guaranteed tomorrow, Trump could choke on the Oath of Office where it talks about defending the Constitution and fall over dead. Harris could die in her sleep. Any one of us could snuff it for any number of reasons before we take our next breath. Just do whatever you think is best for the country.

BTW - I could not believe the people going to IT, asking for an ETR. Person A: gets told by the IT manager that they have "no idea" when things might come back up. He tells Person B. Person B: tells IT that he knows what they told Person A, but wants to know what the ETR might be - like "I know what you told him, but you can tell me the real answer". Person C: "I know what you told A & B, but..." Like our IT had the real answer, but would only tell "special people".

I got lucky yesterday & had enough work saved locally to my laptop at work. We had no connection to our data storage partner (we're trying to wean ourselves away from them, but will never be able to do so completely). Even if we did, they were unable to process all the incoming data. I think they finished compiling tables around 6:30 pm, long after I'd left for the day. I think the problems actually started around 6 pm Thursday. People were up in arms on reddit because a specific app kept crashing/wouldn't stay open. I went to Downdetector and saw there was a number of sites having issues at the same time, but it could have been a coincidence.

Hungary's miffed that Ukraine won't allow Russian oil to transport across Ukraine to Hungary... I mean, just because they're trying to erase your country is no reason to hurt Hungary. /s

30 in the area is the current count, but the NWS is still checking. In Chicago - 5. Since 1950, before this storm, the city has only had 13 total. EDIT: It looks like they still have at least 24 more areas to assess, based on a map post of areas with debris.

He & Odunze are both signed as of a day or two ago.

The callback of all callbacks.

Change a few words here and there and it still holds up

ABC local just said the count is up to 25 confirmed tornadoes in the area.

Nope, he was one that I listed as still being around, along with Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett & Mel Brooks. Edit: I think the thread was from when David McCallum (Iliya Kuryakin/Donald "Ducky" Mallard) passed away. I probably mentioned Newhart appearing as "Ducky's" predecessor & friend on NCIS.

Oh look...It's JD Vance..."on a steek"!

...the NWS says there were 19 confirmed tornadoes over Sunday & Monday for the Chicagoland area. Coworkers had massive trees uprooted, house damage. They think there were simultaneous tornadoes at O'Hare & Midway airports. Oh, and there was a 3.4 magnitude earthquake in the area as well on Monday morning.

I don't see it as a short attention-span thing, I see it as adding to the long laundry list of reasons the man doesn't belong anywhere near the Oval Office.
