He went alone and beat the odds.

The Black Death wiped out 40% of the population of Europe, but it also led to significantly higher wages within a generation. Could Trump's megabill have the same effect here in America?

Why would I block her? She was correct that it's a cheek swab, and I'm not offended that she called you an idiot.

We've rightfully been giving France shit for their banana-split numbering system but we must now put aside our differences, join forces with them, and start bullying Denmark because WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

Supreme Court rules that a woman is legally defined as . . . a woman. Congratulations.
And โThe concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a manโ. Yes, the science was settled in the Precambrian. Nice that the law has finally caught up.
And yet you still do hate women. Youโre happy for their rights to be trampled on and men getting their way. Youโve been fed misogyny and male rights and you canโt even see whatโs right in front of your hateful eyes. Here you are announcing it to me, a stranger.
