Maybe what they meant was that it's one of those things the government had to approve, similar to when big companies merge and the SEC has to weigh in first. Just a guess.
You think that's bad, you should take a gander at the official news sources in Jacksonville Florida. I don't know if they're still this bad, but as I recall they have not one, but at least two big news publications, both produce articles that look like they were written by grade schoolers. Anything that wasn't copy/pasted from the AP seems to be written hastily by somebody who dropped out before understanding English. I'm sure many other cities have the same issue. The one is called news five or Jax 5 news, and the other is first coast news. They'll hire anybody to write apparently.
Oh yeah? Well... If we were both birds, and I was flying next to you while you were also flying as well, and, and you said to me that I had to carry your school books, well then that'd make you look bad... So... So I win, and you're wrong, and dumb, and I'm like really super smart for coming up with this example impromptu.
It didn't get that bad last time, but Canada took in draft dodgers on the human rights angle. I think there are plenty of countries that'd take the best of us adding for their country's culture and economy. We could introduce diabetes and the prison industrial complex, and they could teach us to make macaroni art pictures of our dead families or something.
And how exactly do you believe red and blue states became the way they are? Are you under the impression that these things simply happened on their own? Or is it more likely that the great migration happened already, and the reason so many like-minded people inhabit the same areas is because they most certainly will move en masse, if their livelihoods or lives depends on it?

I think blaming all followers is a great idea. They adhere to, vote for, and ruthlessly "defend" (up to and including going on the offence) their beliefs, why should they not take the blame? This is why so many people have left the church, they decided not to support the overall system. If you want things to change, and problems to be acknowledged, but you don't have political power or massive riches, what's a better way to get the entire group to wake up and change the system, or stop supporting it altogether? If it weren't for people pointing out my own hypocrisy, I easily could be still shilling for the rape cult church I was raised with. We all know a good person who happens to still follow a bad religion, but that doesn't mean we have to take it personally when the religion itself is admonished for its failures.
That shit cuts both ways, you might wanna start carrying if you were here too. I carry a gun everywhere now and don't have any credentials, and I'm happy knowing the playing field will be more even when brown shirts shorts start goose stepping down my street. Sleep safe, everybody.
So edgy, going against the grain. Must be hard lugging around those huge balls. I bet when you pull up alone at a restaurant, the host says "Woah!... So just the two then?" referring to you and your massive steel balls, which refuse to be kicked by the establishment. Keep on fighting for FREEDOM and LIBERTY, soldier. HOOAH!

At this point, doctors being rich is an out of date stereotype from before today's rich guys screwed us, and the doctors, out of the good economy we would've had. This is the fundamental misunderstanding holding the idea back from mainstream audiences, they seem to believe "eat the rich" means literally to destroy anybody who makes as much as a doctor or lawyer makes, forgetting these are simply further examples of often abused workers, same as the person cobbling shoes, welding, cooking, whatever.
Maybe my local brand is the margin of error, but this comes as a surprise to me, because my area's Walmarts have started carrying a new suppliers' serranos, and those suckers are even hotter than the jalapenos, which have seemed to cool down over the years as reported elsewhere.
Not too shabby. All it really needs is some personalization, maybe some things hung on the walls to show your personality and taste in decorating a little bit. I'd tuck that loose wire behind the bed and under an area mat between the bed and wall in the last photo. Lastly, you're not super messy so that's good! Maybe slightly untidy, but that's all ADHD people (speaking from experience), and it only takes a minute to spot clean or tidy up a room with this many items in it.
It's funny how saying "I want to stand a fair chance against an armed fascist uprising" is a controversial statement these days. It's as though most people think we can simply wish away any person out to attack us, with no armed citizens, and no functioning criminal system, and a real chance for brown shirt-like activity under a dictator. Come on people, we can take some fascists in a fight. Just got to step up, be strong, and don't let the propaganda get ya mixed up.
The psychos see what happens in places where the ruling class gets what they want at all costs, and they still want the juice. Says everything you need to know about society.
How can one have congressional support for an issue which actually helps people? Is helping people, in this instance, the most profitable choice for the individual representative? Because they do not care about the betterment of humankind, and they are no longer beholden to the people. The representative at large is a warmongor, an oil baron beneficiary, a gun lobby shill, a two-bit huckster, a thief, and an active erodor of democratic principles. There is no such thing as congressional support among two opposing parties, whose real goals both are aligned against the people, in that, again... If helping people isn't the number one most convenient, profitable, best way to get somebody else's ass kissed, it ain't even a priority. We need to do something about the fascism problem first, then melt the guns into participation trophies for the men who carry them now. Problem solved.
Say this to anybody who will listen, please! I've been using it on my car guy friends, and they're receiving it loud and clear. They love the idea of having the roads all to themselves, many of the actual enthusiast types do anyways.
