They engaged in ad hominem assessment of the source. If it came out of the Biden Administration it was a lie. No "communication of policy" was possible

Remember that the propaganda was working both ends of the horseshoe

This was the original "accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt" case. The President was trying to pardon Burdick so that his testimony could be compelled since he then had no burden of prosecution for the 5th to take effect

I'm not going to sign a petition that I oppose. That could enable it getting on the ballot, whereupon the massive ad onslaught begins and weak-minded idiots might actually vote to enact that shitty piece of law

NOPE

So two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, a guy who couldn't get security clearance but was able to get $2 billion from Saudi Arabia? And the content of the report is so sensitive that it can't be made public?

Seems like Jared's dad may not wind up being the only felon in the family.

out of town. I texted them to ask if they had someone to pick it up. They didn't. I volunteered to go get it and then *there was no package*. The wife looked at the video and determined (from 1500 miles away) that the driver came back and picked it up to deliver on the scheduled day

"I never used it that way, therefore nobody does" is how that reads to me
I was just relating to you how I have actually used it. It's like an phone answering machine for your door
I've never had a package stolen. But at Christmas my next door neighbor had one 'delivered' while I knew they were

Only if you frame it that way to eliminate the prosocial benefits
Being able to answer the door whether you are upstairs, in the garden, or on a quick trip to the store
Package theft is more than a minor inconvenience. It's a waste of time, resources and fuel

There are. You can set it up to record locally or on the cloud. They cost a bit more as they aren't counting on subscriptions to defray the cost of the equipment
If you have skills, you can even DIY with available tools if you are slightly ambitious

Seems like an awful lot of projection in his attitude towards what doorbell cameras are useful for.

Answer the door without going downstairs just to find out it's a solicitor. It's an electronic telescopic peephole

Helpful chart showing Nazi concentration camp growth after taking power in 1933. The Trump administration is clearly ahead of this schedule.

Ironically, Crypto bros will be the first to tell you that "fiat currencies" backed by the confidence in the issuing government are a scam, but this token issued without any physical reality at all is somehow more trustworthy

If it was a college form, the explanation would be easy: there are a shitton of scholarship and grant funds that are available to, say, Swedish heritage students of chemical engineering, or Italian mathematicians, or Greek lovers of art history. Find your own niche pairing of ancestry/interest

Prepared meals for 1-4 people isn't very heavy. Notice where the all the front-loader bikes put the cargo, though. Down near the axle line. That, in addition to the long wheelbase, makes them dynamically stable
I haven't ridden one, but I imagine that makes them feel "weird", like a motorcycle

Remember "AIDS was my personal Vietnam"?
Here's a distasteful, but internally rational idea:
How could you negotiate that if you had zero moral compass and the ability to insulate yourself from social and legal consequences? Perhaps cultivate a supply of sexually inexperienced "partners"?
