“The district attorney, who campaigned on a promise to prosecute Donald Trump, brought these charges precisely because of who the defendant was rather than because of any specified criminal conduct.”
-Susan Collins
Hey, Susan
Shouldn’t you be happy now that Donald gets to learn his lesson?
@flexghost the one thing I hate about Maine is Susan ‘oh gosh that’s terrible and I support it’ Collins.
Pearl clutching with one hand, Trump stroking with the other.
@flexghost so who’s going to want to practice medicine in Texas? Who’s going to want to issue insurance to women of childbearing age?
This is insanity.
For me there are a few people who are usually equalizing, and I can just be around them, so I won't count that. But generally, I find about 3 times a week, I'm game for socializing. A day in between to rest is usually nice, but the larger the gathering or if we go somewhere particularly noisy or I'm meeting new people that involves more effort, and my social battery empties sooner. I'm very curious where everyone else falls on this!
Sometimes when you learn how something works, you think, Thanks knowledge, that really helped, everything makes more sense, and other times you look up how wrists turn, and it's like WTF?!
"Thomas claimed that in the case of the Brown decision, the court went too far calling the ruling an example of the court’s “extravagant uses of judicial power… at odds with the history and tradition of the equity power and the Framers’ design.”
The original Brown decision argued that racial segregation goes against the 14th Amendment to Constitution…”
@StillIRise1963 so he’s an originalist?
Does he yearn for a legacy which would only give white male landowners the right to vote? Does he see a white man when he looks in the mirror?
Have y'all ever had someone act like you were hurting them somehow by just liking a food?
Any time I buy or make kimchi, my Mom says it's so gross and she doesn't want any and just on and on. I never offer it to her, or make group food with it, but for some reason she seems offended by it, and I don't know why.
I have gone three days without coffee - not a dare or any stupid health reason, just kind of dumb happenstance - and I would like to say this is stupid and any tosser who might recommend this is wrong and probably malevolent.
"According to the office, 70 percent of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid users in their study were full-time workers, with 90 percent of them in the private sector. A significant number of them worked in restaurants and department or grocery stores.
Surprise, surprise — Walmart ranked among the top four employers whose workers relied on Medicaid and SNAP."
@Adam_Cadmon1 the Walton family is yet another billionaire parasite family. They get subsidies from the Fed, and tax breaks from towns and states for the ‘privilege’ of putting in a store that does nothing for the local economy.
Add in that they take an accelerated depreciation deduction and you have a bloated tick.
What advice would you give to someone just starting out in a relationship?
Mine might sound kind of dark in relation to the question, but here goes:
People change, and they should, it's part of being a person. Some people are lucky, and they change in the same direction, but some don't, and that's okay too. There's no shame in leaving a relationship or changing the nature of a relationship that no longer serves you. We are all taught that every relationship, whether romantic or friendship, is supposed to last forever, but nothing is forever, and forcing something that no longer works, just ends in anger and bitterness. Knowing when to let go is as important as knowing when to hold on through a rough patch, and how to know either of those things is the most cliché advice of all, COMMUNICATE.
