My problem isn’t completely with the insurance companies, my problem is the RED gulf states that refuse to take climate change seriously. Which, by extension, allows the effects of climate change to destroy large areas of their state costing insurance companies billions; that now I (we) have to pay for.

Yeah, the bestest testimony ever given in the history of the world, “fortunately or unfortunately” (as he himself has said).

His odds get worse with every lawsuit, and his performative sputtering rage is falling flat. His empire is toppling in real time, and we’re here to watch it.

Tip for the Canadians in the crowd. The clip is blocked here, but if you have cable, 60 Minutes is available On Demand. Will get to it later.

Yes, but the law certainly allows Trump to contest the imposition of a receiver. Yet I haven’t read he has. So maybe he can’t contest it? A judge can impose a receiver and that’s it, control of your business is pulled from you, no legal recourse? Odd.

Yes, there is someone in place to make sure that no shenanigans like transferring/hiding money, incorporating new companies, etc. go on.
Her name is Barbara Jones and she’s a former federal judge. IIRC, she has also indicated that Crime Family Trump is not exactly being cooperative…

When asked to explain the principles that define the “Rule of Law,” a spokesman said “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”

In evolution, species is somewhat transitory and arbitrary. Every species is evolving and changing into something else. There is no absolutely hard dividing line with species in paleontology, which is why the creationists’ jabbering about there being no “missing link” between apes and humans is such a fallacy.
As for wildcats’ ceasing to be a distinct species (that is, if there is such a thing, otherwise how could they interbreed with domestic cats?), it simply is what it is. If they become more disease-resistant, it’s better than the pernicious nonsense of the Westminster Kennel Club, which is so insistent on “pure breeds” that it results in dogs with terrible genetic diseases which make their short lives miserable.

And instead of assuming a poker face, he’s decided to screech “I’m a winner!!!” repeatedly. Unconventional gambling tactics, for sure.

Private equity firms buying up houses for cash is a BIG part of what is making homes unaffordable. That and all the HGTV fans living out their get-rich-quick flipping dreams.

It’s a Mexican-Central American species, the extreme northern part of the range of which, “pokes” into southeastern Arizona.
ETA.
Correction. I was told It’s not a Lucifer Hummingbird. Maybe a common Black-chinned Costa’s Hummingbird. (Third time’s a charm?). I warned you though. I don’t do birds much.

I don’t know how that all works. I’m sure he can appeal but not sure the courts would be interested in giving him a chance to move all of the cheese. The receiver is the first consequence of the summary judgment and protects the State of New York as the case proceeds. Given his lifelong ability to skate on everything, I wouldn’t be too surprised if the appeals court gave TDFG a chance to further complicate things. I just hope they won’t.

We had 2 salaries except for a small number of years when I stayed home with our small children. Like you, saving a large part of our joint incomes allowed us after our children were grown to do things we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to do. And enter retirement in good shape. At the time our children were young there was no such thing as childcare. You had to have a relative take care of them, swap with friends (babysitting coops were popular) or hire someone to come to your home. When I went back to grad school then work I hired teenagers to look after them when they got home from school.
