I doubt people ever stopped moving north from Africa, too.

Of course, since he is not the base, however much they may think that by seeing him, they become him.

74 seems young, but I know people age differently--so sorry this happened.

And warfare, if I remember childhood or parenthood correctly. Generational trauma of the meaningless kind.

I started to ask if you had any crypto, and then thought, nah, no need to bother.

But glad they did, at least. I got some special window breakers in case my electric-window Prius goes into the bay, but what could help with doors?

it is somehow darkly funny that they can’t read Marx as well as Google’s AI

I sure never heard of them, but that's not exactly a measure.

Hoping they really BBQ and don't just have roast pork with various sauces.

Ohio Bans Grace Periods for Mail Ballots, Fulfilling Trump’s Wishes Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

Conservatives are currently pursuing a national strategy to ban grace periods for ballots sent through the mail. The U.S. Supreme Court will issue a ruling that could eliminate grace periods across the country.

Defunding is not enough. They need to be abolished completely.

Some local police are OK, but many are in bed with Miller and crew, even if they don't exactly know it. Their superiors are, anyway.

We weren't afraid of the real danger to the country--the selfish billionaires are way worse than anything Osama and gang dreamed up.

Now they've been folded in, and all the good ones fired. I agree--get rid of all of them and hire back the ones who were let go.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

Especially when what they want us to do is complete forget our rights and responsibilities as citizens to oversee and report on the government's misdoings. They have forgotten that we all have read the Constitution.
