New Zealand says "no, thanks".

So Lindsay Graham has thrown a monkey wrench into the works. Doubt he's doing this on his own. I figure he and The Orange One have a good cop-bad cop thing going on.

Something familiar about that.

I'm wading through the FL statutes governing condos incl laws that went into effect in January concerning condos with more than 2 floors or more than x units. Slow going. There are a few in my area I like a lot. I've been given the go ahead to buy one if that's what I decide. I just have to do a lot more research. It's really tempting because these places I like are beautiful and mobile home living wouldn't compare. I'll have to stay where I am for an extra month or two after my finances are settled. The logistics will take time. Today's adventure was having the cracked casement window blow apart in the wind leaving glass and shards outside and inside and holes in places where there used to be glass. I cut cardboard panels and used duct tape to cover the window and tape up the outside. Wow. I'm glad that happened. Now it's over and done. It's one less thing to need to do in the future.

Dee-Why-Eye!

Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis this week questioned the U.S. attorney over the lack of any civil rights investigations into two fatal shootings by immigration agents, and warned that more people could resign in protest if things don't change, multiple sources told CBS News. In a somber meeting on Monday between Minnesota U.S. Attorney Dan Rosen and assistant U.S. attorneys in the criminal division, prosecutors expressed concern that they were not allowed to investigate the federal officers who shot and killed Renee Good or Alex Pretti, sources familiar with the meeting said. They also told Rosen they are worried about how President Trump's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota is being handled by the office, warning that they are facing pressure to rush to file criminal charges against people accused of assaulting federal officers without conducting a formal investigation, and that the intense focus on such cases is interfering with their ability to complete other important work. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/prosecutors-minneapolis-warn-more-could-resign-renee-good-alex-pretti/

@bernard Link to video I don't know what to make of it. They are politicians. And neither has a good track record. We'll see.

You would. But I don't think that would work for the rest of us. Lol!

Not even one Scaramucci's worth. In a Jan. 16 news release, the Kennedy Center announced that Kevin Couch would be its new senior vice president of artistic programming. On Jan. 22, the center posted the announcement on X. Not a week later, Couch resigned. Couch confirmed his resignation Wednesday but declined to comment further. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kennedy-center-s-new-programming-head-resigns-days-after-hire-was-announced/ar-AA1VcUPf

Who knows, maybe Ohio will kick out some of the MAGA assholes that currently proliferate there.
