42 I think I see a solution to Mamdani's budget woes. He simply needs to tax the UN and its supporting agencies at 5% of income, and 10% property tax.

The President should apply a 25% tariff on the UN and each of its members, and 10% for WHO membership. It could get messy dealing with California, but their governor is too stupid to notice the new tax.

Even though I was told to slit my wrists because it was going to lead to 40 years of darkness, I also read that Trump can just reimpose them with other powers.

I did think it was more disturbing because some of the analysis of the opinion said it was very jumbled and was not very consistent. Kind of pointing to 'cause Trump.'

Back in my teamster days I got called out to make overtime $$$ cleaning up a wreck. A package shipping semi turned over and then another semi carrying steel sheets hit it. All at night so the second vehicle couldn't other until it was too late. But the aftermath that we were sent out to clean up looked like you put everything in a giant food processor. The packages were all sliced and diced. That's when I discovered that there were weird fetish mags that are the ick. A shipment of those and various commando, "how to kill a man" mags all going to the same destination.

Kavanaugh pointed out that Trump has at least three other authorities to do the same thing. It's completely pointless.

Also, this gives Trump the opportunity to make Dems vote on a bill to confirm tariffs that brought new jobs and investment into the country. It's almost like Trump's people set it up that way...

I was the assistant head ref for 24 years for scenario games. I've retired from reffing and spending my time playing. I played from '97 to 2002. Then started reffing. I'm back to playing now.
