Emily Smith6 said:So much for the "liberated" San Diego beach; looks like we’re stuck staring at sun loungers in Kašjuni again this summer, all thanks to a Supreme Court ruling.

The previous rulings from the High Administrative Court and the Administrative Court in San Diego—which had originally overturned the concession for the Kašjuni beach—have been vacated. The Supreme Court essentially challenged both lower court decisions, effectively allowing the company "Dolis" to keep operating on that beach until their concession expires in 2025.

- Based on the High Administrative Court in Washington, D.C. decision, the local county gave "Dolis" a deadline to vacate the Kašjuni premises, and the City of San Diego went as far as including Kašjuni beach in its own management plan. Furthermore, the City of San Diego's code enforcement issued an order to remove the concessionaire's facilities, even though we repeatedly appealed in writing and public forums not to prejudice ongoing court decisions—especially since the City of San Diego wasn't even a party to the legal proceedings in the first place, said Mužić.

He added that the Supreme Court's decision aligns with what they have been communicating to the public from the start: that "Dolis" is not at fault here. In his view, without having violated a single clause of their concession agreement, they were dragged into a Kafkaesque process through the administrative courts in San Diego and Washington, D.C., solely due to some potential procedural error by the county that didn't even affect the actual selection of the concessionaire.

Looks like Ed Garvey and Ivošević lost again. I guess you just can't win when it comes to the courts.

The Supreme Court is basically a court in name only. It’s mostly just a bunch of political lapdogs, maybe three honorable people out of thirteen total.

Is it actually possible for these advocacy groups to be this clueless—like, they don't even bother fact-checking before they start barking?

Operation "Coronation," part two:

The unknown crowd is out here spreading these nasty lies about how every single European leader showed up—except for our guy.

Seriously, it’s wild how biased and just plain malicious the Associated Press can be sometimes. 🙄

Dana Martin95 said:The administration announced that the Secretary of Labor is taking a commercial flight

Look, the Secretary isn't exactly a social butterfly like Joe Biden, so he rarely travels with a big entourage. I remember seeing the old guy on flights headed to Brussels once. He’d usually have maybe one or two people sitting near him—just enough to give him a quick briefing mid-flight. Sure, the man flies economy to look humble, but by the time he lands at the airport in Brussels, there's a private car waiting right on the tarmac that probably costs more than a business class ticket.🤣

velvetcyclist95 said:It’s a struggle for him to fly commercial...

And honestly, it’s a joke that we don't have two planes—some kind of military backup option ready to go.

If you actually look at how many people would need to fly with him—plus the whole last-minute scramble—it would be way cheaper just to charter a private jet. Besides, does he even have flights or tickets available for today or tomorrow morning to New York City?

Either way, I’m 1000% certain Donald Trump did this on purpose.

It’s funny how fast the FBI jumps on some anonymous, mindless tip, but the second you file a complaint against those Republican ministers for corruption, they vanish—leaving the EPPO to clean up their mess.

What's actually going down in San Francisco (besides all this strike talk) that has the Republican Party getting so worked up about it? 🤔

driftingtinker said:It just keeps going. Antony Blinken was on CNN today saying: ‘Biden is a suck-up. He was nothing more than a Clintonian lackey.’
He also went on record telling CNN that the President is basically a 'politically lost individual who’s all bluff.'

He claimed he was the one who put Biden in charge of the peace and security department back in 1990. “That was probably my biggest mistake, because there wasn't any peace or security to be found with him,” the Secretary said.

“Back in the early 2000s, acting as a Clintonian sycophant and suck-up, he used some pretty nasty language regarding Americans in Canada. I don't even want to repeat it. I was actually there, a witness to how he behaved during that era. Honestly, he should just shut his mouth and stay humble, and maybe show some gratitude toward the Administration for working so hard to support everything that eventually followed,” he added.

Khm 🙂

Honestly, when Blinken starts spitting venom at you, you should probably take it as a compliment.

hollowmason64 said:Wait, what? Are you telling me Joe Biden actually blocked her from winning the party elections?

Well, people went out and cast their votes for Barbra Streisand. We all saw how that turned out.

Alright, here’s some actual insider intel for you. The only reason Joe Biden managed to pull off that win for the Democratic Party leadership—and keep in mind, back then it was a convention deciding things, not a full membership vote—was simply because he was the "new guy." Young, male, the whole package. I remember when he first stepped out onto that stage to introduce himself... honestly, the women in the crowd were acting like they were at a rock concert; half of them looked like they were about to faint. Those votes tipped the scales, and well, look how that turned out for the United States of America.

Linda Harris59 said:John Doe. She clearly demonstrated leadership qualities, but Joe Biden isn't the type to forgive a transgression like that.

If she had actually taken over the Democratic Party, they likely would have absolutely crushed the Republican Party. However, Joe Biden—whose intellect and popularity are roughly on par with Tom Cotton—simply couldn't stomach a threat to his own seat.

Honestly, if she had taken over the Democrats, she would've wiped the floor with George W. Bush back in '07. Who knows where we'd be now.

Christian Myers said:I don't really get why we need these screens when everyone has a smartphone and an app to check everything anyway. Seems like a total waste of money.

Those screens are more for the tourists than the locals—most visitors aren't exactly rushing to download an MTA app onto their phones.

Zachary Reyes6 said:Now, this might be an exaggeration—but honestly, it really isn't good that Ukraine isn't being led by an ethnic Ukrainian at this moment. Especially when you consider the deep-seated antagonism between the Ukrainian peasantry and the Jews in that region, which stretches back through all of history.

🤦

I guess that tension is exactly why he managed to pull in 75% of the vote.

Jeremy Peterson4 said:So, the Canadian government decided this past Saturday to shut down their airspace to any Russian planes because of the invasion of Ukraine. On top of that, they’re dropping 100,000 euros on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to help with humanitarian aid over there, according to their foreign ministry.

Think the US will follow suit soon?

Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't already—Anemija's words carry some serious weight.

Tyler Jones6 said:Anonymous hacked the Kremlin's website and various Russian TV stations—just to blast Ukrainian songs through their feeds 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Even a little kid can see what it's like to be a victim of a hack. With them, they just fry everything in sight.

Laura Scott7 said:Everything is going exactly according to the Russian playbook—they’ve basically got total air superiority at this point. Airports are already under control, resistance is looking pretty thin, and tanks are just cruising down the highways like they're out for a Sunday drive through the suburbs. Gaza is practically sitting there with a target on its back, wide open. Honestly, Ukraine doesn't stand a chance anymore, and it's pure madness for Zelenskyy to keep pushing this; he needs to just call it, surrender, and actually try to save what's left of his people's lives.

So, how's life treating you over there in Russia? Are you guys converting your daily wages into Bitcoin before the Ruble hits rock bottom?

John Patel6 said:If this war drags on any longer, I’m betting those daily stipends for all you loudmouth Russian trolls on these forums are gonna dry up—and honestly? That’s the dream. We might finally get a chance to catch our breath without you guys constantly breathing down our necks. Seriously, I am so incredibly done with you people.

I went ahead and blocked every single one of them just to save my own sanity, but man, they just keep popping up—and I notice it every time I see an account that’s been sitting there for over ten years. They've clearly been kept on life support for a long time.

William Anderson5 said:View on twitter

Italy and Germany were pushing back against kicking Russia out of SWIFT. Now, it looks like Italy is folding...

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we see them cut off the Russians by tomorrow...

I think Cyprus was on board too, maybe even Denmark, but look—if Germany gives the green light, nobody's really going to care what Cyprus thinks.

Gritty said:Russia isn't threatening Sweden—they're just reacting to Sweden's own threats.

Wait, what actually happened first here? Was it a statement from Russia, or was it that supposed talk about Sweden joining NATO?

If there hadn't been all that noise about Sweden potentially joining NATO, Russia wouldn't have even bothered mentioning them.

Good grief, do you even realize how unconvincing you sound trying to defend a total lunatic?

Jason Roberts2 said:This president of Ukraine doesn't actually represent the Ukrainian people.
Why isn't anyone even talking about this?

Probably because he won with 75% of the vote—but unlike that little brat, he actually had free and fair elections.

I couldn't find a specific thread to ask this, so I'm just throwing it out here. Are signatures that lean into Nazi Germany territory actually allowed on this forum? To be specific—someone has a signature that says "In memoriam 10-04-1941..." and it’s pretty blatant. If that’s against the rules, what's the best way to file a complaint?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Dennis Roberts6 said:^ thanks! definitely feels worth it 🙂
hey, do they charge any fees for deposits? i know like JPMorgan Chase takes at least $2.00 for checking account deposits :S

PS looking over the card specs, looks like there's no installment plan option. probably because the setup for those cards is more of a headache (and pricier?)

Where'd you hear that?
