I wonder if he can now argue that he should not have been fired.

I have a memory of going into a fast food restaurant in the 80s where that song was playing and this redheaded boy behind the counter was belting it out as he rang up my order.

Imagine flat turf-like carpet in 1970s oranges and greens.

In HS (1970s), my parents installed what they called "kitchen carpet." My engineer dad bragged that stains could be cut out w a cookie cutter tool and replaced w a new piece of carpet. Within a day, my brother glopped a chunk of something on the floor, and I think my dad was like, Oh, the kids...

What's the source of this info? I'd like to read it.

I'm hopeful he'll lose

Finally. My partner and I call his office weekly to try to get him to do something!

I agree --in that setting with AOC and Sanders. But general protests--Hands Off, etc--are not like that.

Is there any strategy to pull in young people or improve diversity? Every protest I've attended is largely older and white.

Speaking of such things, I was driving today, and the man in the car behind me looked just like my dad when he was around 40. That would be 40-50 years ago. A surprise!

I'm harking back to the era of the of the" mind blown" memes.

So predictable. Here we are at another level of AI mediocrity.

Why did he even think he had to hold it?

I think we should all write to Republican reps/senators and ask them to caucus with Dems to impeach Trump or at least put up some serious guardrails. It's a long shot but it would only take a few to cross over. I've written to several people today and called my reps.

That would be an amazing step. Will rh y do it?

So many people seem to be relying on charging someone with contempt. I have no faith in that process at this point.

I really want that to work, but for it to work the numbers have to be overwhelmingly huge, and in the meantime, this world falls apart.

But even if it's garbage, doesn't someone now have to act against the lawlessness? This case ran all the way up to SC and he's still not going to follow the law. It seems Trump has clearly crossed a major line.
