Independent means neither party represents you.
I think the point is that it’s relatively easy to affirmatively say the Democratic Party does NOT represent you, without saying the Republican Party does.
The Dems have positioned themselves as all or nothing and have made it very transparent, so I agree with the notion that being “independent” in the sense of considering both sides in this day in age is rather silly. The Dems are infected, it’s a hijacked party.

re: Why is the West End (Lakeview nola) I10 entrance so short?

The I-55 /I-12 eastbound in Hammond is pretty short too. Can't believe they don't have more wrecks there.
That’s true. Both of these examples are straight up dangerous if you don’t know about them, but the interstate to interstate ramp is crazy because of the incoming speed from I55

I agree some parents go overboard with it. My sons only have 2 bats at any given time. And I try to keep them under $400. There definitely should be some kind of tax credit, even it’s just to claim 1 bat per kid per year or something like that.

Damn dude how stupid are you willing to look?
You think he is a nazi, which is bad. You think he is like Hitler, who while honest, is bad because he is a nazi. But you also think we may just be finding out he may have been right about the Jews all along…which again makes Trump very bad.
Are you capable of constructing a coherent point? Or simply throwing out outrageous statements that can only be considered independent of any other thought running through your brain?
I envy how easy it must be to live a life without intellectual honesty.
Tired of not being alone.

I’m not against them either, as long as they accomplish something. Unfortunately, all they seem to be doing, is collecting money for the government at the expense of business and consumers.
And it pissed off other countries that would have increased tariffs on their goods. It’s almost as if the impact of tariffs is more dynamic than who “pays” for them.

I mean he kinda is. I understand and agree with the sentiment, but I don’t understand the linkage between availability of DOJ documents from 2008 and Kash Patel going to the Olympics has anything to do with that. He is jumping the gun on holding THIS DOJ accountable for unpacking and taking action on what has been a corrupt organization this entire century.

re: Microsoft AI chief says in 5 years AI can do every white collar job.

The day AI can be thrown under the bus is the day this claim may become true. The deeper I get into my career, the more I realize my job, as with most professional jobs, is outsourcing decision-making, responsibility and liability.

That doesn’t look real. I just looked up the press conference and the video from all sources including the lone listed in the screen picks up right after this would have happened

I just got off of an internal meeting. Three people and one person dominated 90 minutes of my day when I am trying to keep it light to enjoy time with family while they are all home. Now I need to go to the office so I can actually get some work done
Video calls really have become an easy way for certain people to feel productive while holding others hostage.

A lazy and incorrect take.
Lazy? Maybe. Incorrect? You didn’t explain how so.
Louisiana roads are not good, the output of new, or reconstruction, is underwhelming. At least some of that deserves to be put on the contractors, and it sounds like we are in agreement that the contracting market is highly concentrated with profitable companies.
In job inspection or resident inspection is a complete joke and gravy train for whoever has the contract.
re: Why does interstate work take so long? The 18 mile Atchafalaya stretch took 2 years
Posted by OceanMan on 2/16/26 at 8:16 am to Ramblin Wreck
My anecdotal take is that at least in LA, there here are no good road contractors. There are a few big ones that charge huge fees and take as long as they want, which has led to the lower bidders having huge variations in quality.
The major projects I have seen finished in the past 10 years have been underwhelming at best, unacceptable at worst. From engineering and planning issues, to premature surface degradation and poorly marked roads. Most of the projects leave behind temporary or straight up incorrect markings that make it look incomplete.
And I know this wasn’t always the case because I’ve seen other roads, writhing LA and especially outside. Florida roads from highways to local streets are much higher quality.
Another thing I’ve noticed in the past 5 years or so is the amount of paint just spilled onto the surface, which I imagine is from careless subs. Shame.

He got the Epstein files released.
And has since been pitching a fit on the procedure in which they have been released rather than doing a damn thing with the information contained within them.
There has been obvious smoke around Epstein for many years now, one would need to be in denial or protection to not see people should be in jail, but now members of congress from both parties are trying to dunk on the Trump admin for how they have handled the release as if that is in any way productive.
Massie is just another POS politician. Can say the right things for certain people but deflects from taking the lead once he has actually influenced policy. That is, he complains and takes seemingly logical positions, but has no intention of advancing the discussion once he has the floor.

Honestly if you are looking at this type of vehicle you are squarely in the driving whatever you want because it’s what you wanted camp…so make a decision on which one you like the most.
Both are overpriced factory upgrades, which I’m not hating on, but they are made for people to say “I want that exact vehicle” so I suspect you already know what you are leaning towards, and I would further suspect it’s the ford because that’s what you are coming from.
