I figure he needs a dictionary

Perhaps the word he was looking for was predicament

And raise the exempt amount that isnā€™t taxed, so that we can say that EVERYBODY got a tax cut!

I am confused, she moved from Houston to where? Or to Houston.

Houston humidity always added 10 miles to my speed when leaving to go home. I am not sure if I had been pulled over if that wouldnā€™t have been considered a justified reason for exceeding the limit.

Pretty sure Alito said that case followed the rule established in Bush v Gore, sunset on January 20, 2021 and cannot be cited as precedent.

Itā€™s kind of ironic that Biden is much better positioned to take advantage of the additional Executive Branch powers Trump sought, and ultimately received from SCOTUS. Because heā€™s smart, savvy, experienced, and has an immensely better team on board.

Sorry - her husband was transferred from Houston to Midland/Odessa last year. Last summer was the usual West Texas heat with not enough rain. The storms seem to have moved away from us now, but everything is still growing like crazy. The yard was knee-deep in weeds 4 days after mowing.

I think the last time we had a lot of rain like this was 2007.

Sorry about all the flooding you are getting.

Ironically, the last time I was in California was in the San Francisco area. This was in the 90s. The area was suffering epic rain, flooding in the north with houses heading down river, blow outs of mud from the ravines with people blown off the road. Good times.

I remember those rains (Iā€™m a San Franciscan) and it was likely occurring due to the El Nino effect. We have something quite different now, a drought and suggestions, which could become orders, on how to conserve water.

Were you around for the Oakland Hills fire? Had a ring side seat from NAS Alameda. There were burnt eucalyptus leaves falling and the fire was miles away.

Yep, we have had this issue this season as well. Usually by now I mow every three weeks or so. Right now it is rotation between front and back weekly to keep up.

Trump got to take Obamaā€™s Consumer Finance Protection Bureau chief off the playing field, with SCOTUSā€™s approval, so Biden answers with the head of his chief at SSA. Heā€™s already fired Trumpā€™s appointee at CFPB.

Surely nationwide malfunctioning of the Post Office is sufficient cause?

He needs to be gone by 2022

Anytime McConnell says ā€œunprecedented and dangerousā€ it is a tell. What he is really saying is ā€œI donā€™t take kindly to strangers stealing my schtick.ā€
