"The " changing their name reminds me of an old joke:

News Reporter: "The Washington Bullets basketball team changed their name today in response to complaints that the name glamorizes something we don't want being promoted to children.

So from now on, The Washington Bullets will be known as The Maryland Bullets." 😉

I'm telling you, everything revolves around & .

If the Admin gets gas prices back down, and goes after companies that raised prices due to the but never brought them back down once it was over (as soon as they figured out what people were willing to pay)... he'll win in a landslide.

Incumbents lose when gas prices are high. Every time.

If proudly shooting a puppy wasn't disturbing enough, they way they so easily just lie and think they can put one over on us and we'd be too stupid to notice... should show everyone just how little they think of their voters.

Slide some sticks or tree limbs into them to easily build the framework for a portable shelter.

The protruding "balls" would make it easier to slide the completed structure into place across the ground.

Much easier to carry around than entire tents with poles & canvas.

GOP SCJs🚨:

As FDR had successes in passing major leg. initiatives to rescue America from 20 yrs of GOP maladmin., the 4 Horsemen were invariably joined by one of the other justices to strike down New Deal leg. that attempted to address unemployment & poverty, no matter how popular it was. They claimed to be originalists; like the R justices on today’s SC -flagrantly disregarded the historical reality that the Founders were almost never of a single mind.

@ThomHartmann says we should increase the number of Justices to 13 "b/c there are 13 Federal Court of Appeals".

The problem with that is that every time the WH changes parties, they'll just create more courts to justify adding more justices.

I've been down this road before.

this far out are meaningless. The dead-enders supporting candidates still believe their "protest vote" will push the other candidates to reach out to them and their demands.

But as the election nears and those demands are clearly not being met, they abandon their support for candidates who clearly have no chance of winning.

The fact Biden trails in their poll reveals most of them are frustrated who will return to him.

For me, it was GW Bush crashing the economy (pre-Iraq) just as I got out of college.

It was Clinton's final year as president and the tech industry was booming.

Then Bush & Cheney started talking down the economy just to get elected ("[The economy] is not as good as they say it is!") and talked us into a .

By the end of the year (in time for the election), the economy had already begun to sour, and just three months into Dubya's presidency, I was out of a job.

Yesterday my gf and I went to the wedding of her cousin who just a little younger than us, end 20-ish

And the guy marrying (who shares the same name with me😆) told me that they tried to get as much second hand, free and recycled goods for the wedding like chairs, glasses etc

And the overall vibe was so cozy! All with "custom" items basically for almost no money!

He said that hiring glasses would costs 40 cents per glass and buying them second hand 20 cents. And they even can return them 💪 ♻️
