Oh gosh now you’re comparing Trump’s civil fraud CONVICTION to Madoff’s PRE TRIAL bail? A man who died in prison?

cat, you're always embarrassing yourself with your nonsensical ramblings.

But how is talking about our free market system, particularly in real estate embarrassing?

It's embarrassing because Stewart sold a piece of property for whatever someone was willing to pay it for. He never told the local appraisal district what it was worth, and he had no obligation to make that determination.

That has zero relation to simultaneously representing that a property has two different valuations depending on whether you're paying vs. getting money in relation to that valuation.

Thanks for affirming my talking points on our free market system.

A property is only worth what we say it's worth, not what lending institutions believe it's worth, and willing to lend accordingly . . . #blueaon/#blueanongE

No, a property is only worth what a disinterested buyer is willing to pay. And if someone was willing to pay what Trump claimed his assets were worth, he would have been able to come up with financing to pay his $400m appeal bond.

I learned something new today. Anti-semites are some of the biggest weirdos out there.

Holy crap the replies to this gah

I would like to think that he might rethink what he's been doing with Babylon Bee based on how people are responding to this but probably not.

Spot on. When a bunch of Nazis come out like "hey, this is not what I've come to expect from your publication, sir." You might wanna take a step back and reassess.

As we unpack all of this, it appears that once again #blueaongE strident advocates for our free market system (when it fits their narrative at that moment in time) should be absolutely enraged by all of this.

Dax, this is embarrassing even for you.

I’m usually not one to pass judgement, but I do firmly believe that if anyone is going to hell, this man will be included.

I’d love to try a mushroom and ricotta pizza.

Duke seems to be on the same trajectory as KU. A burgeoning FB program as the expense of a declining BBall program. Not sure we really need another, but I'd take it I guess.

I may need to actually watch this draft just to see where our stud wildcats go.

It feels like this would be a case for criminal negligence  :dunno:
Are you suggesting that we INFRINGE the right of this American patriot to have a handgun locked and loaded to respond to any threat (real or perceived) at a moment’s notice? Which is a real scenario that actually plays out other than in MAGA’s wet dreams?

Yeah that game had no business being as close as it was. Houston seemed rattled near the end there.

No business with that kind of liquidity is dumb enough to publicly face plant when they inevitably get stiffed.

The people we consider friends are not nearly so transactional. Like if there is a cost associated with what we are doing there is no expectation for immediate remuneration.

Didn’t you say it was your side that introduced the transactional component?

Do you think the host was tracking everyone’s pizza consumption? Or they should have weighted the split cost based on family members? I’m really not sure what alternative you’re expecting if the cost is going to be split (honestly I don’t like asking how much I owe  as the guest OR being asked as the host).

Hawks getting run out of the gym by Gonzaga.
Is Samford can come back from 22 down, KU can do it here.

Not to legislate this in a million different places but this team's watchability wasn't horrible, just tough compared to what they were last year. This year's team was a garden variety middling college basketball team.
Agree this isn’t the place, but we were damn near dead last in turnovers, and nothing is more frustrating to watch (at least to me).

Cruz should look at his own state first:

In recent months, Gov. Greg Abbott and other GOP governors around the country have spent millions of dollars to bus or fly migrants from Texas and other border states to places like Washington, D.C.; New York City; Chicago; and Martha’s Vineyard.

It really is remarkable how wide the difference is in watchability between last year's and this year's team. Night and day.
