I'm female, in case you are wondering why I sometimes criticize women. I'm heterosexual, in case you think I hate men. I don't. I'm white and American, in case you think I am criticizing either race or nation. There's a common theme here.

Philosophy of cable management: "Never look back. Never look ahead."
You're assuming the orange idiot leaves. It is entirely possible for him to hole up in the White House and refuse to leave, with the Secret Service defending him because that's their job. When Richard Nixon was impeached he COULD have chosen to do this. He didn't, because despite stupidity, he cared about this country.
I know you are talking about immigration detention, so this is completely off topic. Last September when hurricane headed for Guantanamo, there were only 15 prisoners left. IDK about the others, but one guy had been refusing to be released for *years* because there were very few countries that were willing to take him, and he didn't want to go to those few. Probably because he wouldn't be safe there. Finally arranged a release - and not long after he arrived, he dropped out of sight, lol.
They are required to have a 6 foot tall fence to prevent access by strangers - pools are considered an "attractive nuisance." Most houses just fence off the whole back yard. People have to supervise children within that area, or take other steps for safety.
Have you seen the captive orca do this? it was great.
A bird jumped in the bucket. He was tipping it out. I wouldn't want fluttering feathers between me and my food either.
Except Escape from LA pretty much jumped the shark by having him surf down a canyon during a flash flood.
or Pratchett, "Greebo would like Norris the Eyeball-Eating Maniac of Quirm if he knew how to put food in a bowl." H also said, Dogs are not like cats, who amusingly tolerate humans only until someone comes up with a tin opener that can be operated with a paw.)
I sadly agree. The day after Trump's inauguration in 2017, an estimated 400,000 people participated in a Women's March on washington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Women%27s_March#Participation Trump actually sneered at it. Basically, since they weren't threatening him or others, he indicated they could march all they wanted and it wasn't going to change anything.
You do realize that if he had continued to allow them, the "excuse" would not have existed? "We already checked he doesn't have any."
In the last 50 years, actual individual votes for president were usually both close to 50%. Picking the lesser of two evils has never been easy.
As opposed to Saddam refusing to allow the inspections he agreed to after we threw him out of Kuwait? The inspections that were intended to ensure that he DIDN'T have WMD? Those inspections that he halted?
At this point, I'd rather have him back at his worst versus the harm our current president is determined to cause.
I can't think of any religion that lubricates society, except within its own participants. Externally, they all just seem to fight each other.
Folks, the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution, meant to establish the rights of women) was voted on in 1972 and still hasn't been passed. "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." And that was back when sex was considered binary. To fight it they whipped up fear of unisex bathrooms and a female draft. Six of 38 states rescinded their ratification. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment
I'm not sure you guys get it. FEAR is what motivates red state voters. They are afraid that radical change will make things worse, that what little they own and earn will be taken from them. "Who's going to pay for that?" is their fear. Tell them you are cutting the military budget by 10% and give that $80 billion out as tax refunds rather than fund another program. It doesn't come out to much. But every new program (like the infrastructure repairs we desperately need) sounds like my rent money.
He has destroyed confidence in our voting system and our country will never be the same.
So umm who is this person? Srsly.
"For the horde!" still makes me smile, and my son was about 14 at the time, lol.
I wish the pilot would not have agreed to fly them back. Risk of more of their shenanigans on the way back.
Media is too busy watching everyone scramble to distance themselves. Nobody cares about the victims. But without witnesses to testify nothing will happen anyway. Who knows what has happened to these kids since they grew up and out of the desired profile. :-(
Other posts give casualty report, 2 skiers dead, 1 in ICU, likely these 3 were on the mountain, not in the resort area.
My favorite imgur comment exchange at the time: Comment: So is there a line to piss on his grave or should I just show up? Reply: Gotta buy tickets now man, two year waiting list. Reply to Reply: Very early in the morning there's no line. I've gone twice.
Capitalism depends on an ever-increasing number of sales. It's a pyramid scheme. When they run out of consumers the system fails. I'm not some psycho here - the system genuinely depends on unlimited growth.
Good post and I agree. But for future use, the word you intended here is hoard. A horde is a bunch of people or orcs.
i live under a rock and didn't know about the flour debacle - thanks @Base841. looking forward to the "raw milk" results - farm down the road from grandparents let me look at their dairy and the protocol was strict AF. Otoh I've been eating homemade raw cookie dough and drinking eggnog for decades. American eggs and chicken are a substantial risk. Cookie dough packages still say don't eat this raw and I do. But I won't eat things that have been sitting out (not hot, not refrigerated), lol.
most of the states ranked 50th in the country for something-or-other are southern states. the agricultural economy was failing everywhere (that's why british aristocrats in the 1890s were starting to go broke) and clinging to the crime of slavery was barely keeping their economy going. 150 years later their economies are still shit. Trump claimed everything would be "better" under him (with no actual plans), and fearmongers convinced desperate red-staters that libs would make things worse.
it's part of what makes them so attractive - they are such shameless hedonists and we are nit allowed to be. it's a vicarious thrill to watch them dote on themselves. ❤️
