I don’t. My sisters (we were raised by New England conservative parents) jumped off that bus by the 2018 midterms. I’m a bit upset it took them that long, but better late than never.

They finally realized that Eisenhower Republicans are practically Dem Socialists in the 21st century.

Anti-vaxxers won’t accept the results no matter who runs them.

I was going to write that I’d remembered that, but somebody’s line got spliced into mine. Didn’t know that it had actually posted until now.

Took me a sec to remember WA means the crisis place right now in South Carolina Wes somewhat and then they just lost term then even if they’re not there, criticize the most Australia.

Someone is typing over me.

They’re hideous. That’s all you need to know.

Nothing says ’Official LE squad” like everybody dressed differently and the head guy wearing a camo ball cap backwards.

It’s rare someone was injured by an abundance of caution.

There is a much greater chance that I will run a marathon to celebrate my 80th birthday one month hence.

The MAHA Report Cites Studies That Don’t Exist The Trump administration’s β€œMake America Healthy Again” report misinterprets some studies and cites others that don’t exist, according to the listed authors.

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

I did that on my first one about 30 years ago and was awakened by my own snoring. That one wasn’t a cage, it was more like a metal bucket.

On fresh toast with good melty butter it’s magic. Also adds a great umami hit to avocado toast.

I have heard a lot of RW folks say that the 1st Amendment says we can’t establish an official religion. The Founders made a very precise choice of words; there’s a very big difference between β€œthe establishment of a religion” and β€œan establishment of religion.”

So nice to see a thread where almost everyone recognizes β€œmedia” is a plural and uses the correct verb form. Thank you!

I once saw a review that said something like β€œX is a multimedia artist whose works use several different mediums to create thought-provoking blahblahblahβ€œ

I think a lot of it is that nobody thought things would go pear-shaped in less than two weeks. The Unpresident had help from the folks like Wray who resigned and left the door open for instant replacements.

We need a β€œrueful laugh” emoji. I’d say that I literally L’d OL, but it was more a cackle.

Sadly, β€œactual” and β€œactually” have become red-flag words on social media IMO.
