So the metaphor is incorrect and is not based on any biblical or other ancient texts?

Actually it does. One interpretation is transactional, one is physical. Either way, I bet you understand my meaning. Good luck.

I hear you with both ears. Just remember an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Have a safe and restful weekend.

This is how we never return to normalcy. Good luck with that level of anger.

Your โ€œsnowplowโ€ comments are way too far. He says nasty things, and you want to re-inflict life-threatening injuries? Dude.

Or you could celebrate hours - Iโ€™m coming up on my 481,800th hour and feeling pretty good about it.

There are ways, but I donโ€™t think you want to bleed that much.

That made me laugh out loud, which meant I then had to explain it to my younger friends.

Be honest...especially every morning host who wants to "praise him when he does good things" and forgets where it all started.

Red States Top List of Those With Biggest Tax Giveaways to Millionaires and Billionaires | Common Dreams Progressive think tank exposes how Republican-run states are giving massive tax cuts to millionaires.

They must be putting something in the water that makes people stupid in Red states. People in red states are subsidizing Billionaires and apparently enjoying it even though they have less of everything.

I don't get it.

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fรบtbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

For future reference - Terry Bison Ranch on the CO/WY border has herds you can see from the highway. Bit of a drive, but worth it if youโ€™ve never seen them in person before.

Agreed. My concern is the lowering of standards about how we describe problems, especially without potential solutions. If this kind of discussion is all thatโ€™s left, if no one bothers to take the high road even in BlueSky posts, weโ€™ve lost a critical distinction.

Which makes it OK. Got it.

And to think we have an issue with discourse in this country.

So the response to a decision you disagree with is to call him a moron?
