Why not just make it a real showdown at this point? Pistols at high noon in the Oval Office.

California already is having those discussions. They’re collecting required signatures.

Statistics, history, systemic research, epidemiological inferences, consult and trust experts in the relevant economic, agricultural, and socioeconomic trends. Ya know…normal stuff that’s has been available for ages, but largely ignored in favor of inflammatory hyperbole.

No, we should make the process for naturalization reasonable and set honest expectations for cost of living.

It’s sponsored by the FOUR seasons (probably hotel, but I dunno, maybe the landscaping company got their hands in the pot)…so yeah, I heard that was always the contract. Now if they go for season five, color me shocked!

Thank you for genuinely making me laugh amidst this horror show.

That should help grocery costs go down, right?!?

Live action Gollum.

I don’t know the area of your sweating, but you might want to also check out MiraDry for that.

I have King Soopers (Kroger) or Whole Foods. Since Whole Foods is owned by Amazon is that even a better option employee-rights wise?

I’m reading a book of short stories by Stephen King called “You Like it Darker.” There’s one called “Danny Coughlin’s Bad Dream,” and although it’s obviously fictional, it does a good job portraying how someone could easily get sucked into a situation like this just trying to do a good deed and end up with long-lasting and far-reaching ramifications. I liked how he had the protagonist handle it, but I’m not sure I’d be that strong and level headed. I hope I never have to find out.

The front kinda reminds me of a ski boot that you shove into a binding…downhill alpine mail slalom?!?!

Did you mean “Here’s”? I’m trying to figure out if that is a typo that kinda flipped the meaning of that sentence.

Then again, it’s early and I’m easily confused before coffee.

So well in fact, someone should write a song about it!!

Because historically the Republicans have had better turnout in swing states. Anger and hyperbole are great motivators, regardless of topic. Democrat-leaning folks tend not to be as angry, scared, and swayed by cult-like leaders, so tend to be more complacent. It’s a matter of trying to even the behavioral playing field. Not to mention the gerrymandering fuckery that has made it even harder for democrats to be fairly represented in crucial geographic areas. Finally, consider where the underhanded tactics are coming from, and rather than sink to that level, an OVERWHELMING and unquestionable show of support is needed for those tactics not to be successful.

Yeah, the kid on the far right in the original is priceless too. His look says it all.

Probably. sigh

Lauren Bobart and Beetlejuice agree!

Yeah, except I think the mob is/was more trustworthy, better organized, and more qualified for their jobs…probably better food too. Then again, I’m basing pretty much all my knowledge on The Sopranos.
