It's racism.
Things he's said or threatened to do and MAGA voted for it
MAGA will say poll places need the military to make them "safe"

Yall are waiting for the βbig thingβ and heβs building it in your face.
Do not dismiss authoritarian displays as βdistractions.β He is putting up guardrails to protect his unchecked power.

11.08.2025 15:17 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Take the argument too far & coming back may be too much. Don't take it far enough, the tension falls flat.
A silly argument, an easily resolved argument, or one that goes in a direction away from the plot. All the ways it can go that can make the reader lose interest or throw the book at the wall
I'm trying to write an argument but can't quite get the angle right.
One of the many fine points of writing romance that takes creativity and a feel for the art of the story.
Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.

1. The 2020 Census was conducted by the Trump administration.
2. The only systematic results of undercounts that the Census has acknowledged were undercounting communities of color in almost all states.
Heβs back.

I've been a little offline.
When did Turner come back?

Time to go hit up some bookstores for #BookstoreRomanceDay! Happy BRD to all those who celebrate!
09.08.2025 16:54 β π 16 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0oh my gosh their arguments against this being a class action lawsuit are so goofy. its bad because "seven million claimants would kill the company" and "it would be difficult to figure out the rights and compensation for each of the 7 million" so whyd you steal from 7 million people??? dingus!
09.08.2025 05:13 β π 1715 π 545 π¬ 36 π 13Seizing the property of private organizations to punish dissent is totalitarianism.
It is illegal, anti-Conservative, Soviet, and sickening.
Yet people who drool βfreedomβ whisper not a word to object. Lift not a finger.
If the federal government can simply seize privately held patents then that is the end of the U.S. patent system, the legal basis for American innovation.

Vacuum sealed with butter, salt, pepper, and herbs from garden: sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Putting it in the freezer to sous vide later.
