As horrible, and as many deaths as the pandemic caused world wide, it did open a window into a different way of working. And even what type of work is valued over another type of work.
Buddhism extends that to all creatures of earth.
(not a Buddhist, I just know that when the Tibetan Buddhists have one of their parades, monks get down on their knees and collect alll the insects they can find, so they don’t get stepped on)
Competing with DeSantis for total childish dickish stunts with suffering men, women, and children being dumped off in places not equipped at the moment to handle them to make a cheap, stupid point. Makes me wish there was a hell worse than just being that kind of person.
My first cat loved green olives and had the same routine as yours. I once put the remaining jar juice in his dish and he lapped it up … not a good move. He lost all sense of balance and had to go sleep it off.
And don’t think the entire media wasn’t waiting to pin the strike on him personally!
"Biden’s Failure to Stop Rail Strike Cripples Already Poor Midterm Prospects" was the headline news outlets from Fox News to MSNBC were ready to go with!
She’s putting his “reputation” above the safety and security of the constitution and nation to which she swore an oath.
I’d love to see a poor woman who suffered through a problem pregnancy leave her miscarried fetus at Abbotts doorstep. Maybe some of the migrants can go to Rick Perry’s N*****head ranch.
There was some pushback on this interpretation. Apparently she said they have received additional information, rather than the missing texts themselves.
That was my initial reaction too, but upon re-reading, it seems more likely that they’re trying to hide all the other transcripts from the criminal defendants, so they can’t try to concoct some kind of defense out of them. Which is bad, because the freedom to concoct a defense in accordance with the facts is (or ought to be) basic Due Process.
But the tighty righties just eat this shit up like Golden Corral mass produced chocolate pudding.
Even uglier endorsements. IOW, the famous “Trump Brand” FTW!
I am sitting here thanking Biden and his team for a tentative settlement of the impending rail strike. We’ll done sir and team!
And I am wondering about the unmitigated disaster trump woulda been had he been in the mix.
Make your own jokes!
Regarding cats and melons, I believe it was over 20 years ago that I heard/read it was genetic. Many or most cats don’t go for cantaloupe or honeydew or watermelon…but those that do seem compelled. I was looking for an answer because we had two cats and one couldn’t care less, the other would push and shove and do everything she could to get some. She didn’t do that for anything else.
Joe could declassify it, and check it out from NARA whenever he felt a need for speed.
When I was in my 20’s, I worked full time while going to college part time. That only works as long as you have a consistent work schedule. At one point, I was on mandatory overtime causing me to flunk 3 courses and lose the equivalent of about a month’s pay. I was furious. It took a lot of work to be readmitted and purge the Fs on my transcript later on, never mind the financial hit.
The hours on demand (by the employer) model that so many companies now use is a disaster for their workers. It makes education, a second job, any kind of social club or activity, etc. impossible - you can’t commit to being there.
Is that “indict me! I double dog dare you!!” I’m hearing?
I’m wondering. What if DeSantis and Abbott are left alone; you know that they’re spoiling for a confrontation with the Feds to polish their winger creds; and have DHS impound all the aircraft and busses. In other words, come down hard on the Johns and ignore the hookers.

The committee is reportedly worried about people who would potentially get indicted in the DOJ’s probe getting access to the transcripts before their trial.
I am not sure but I think this is badly worded. I think they are saying if the DOJ indicted them then the Jan 6th committee would find it difficult to get any information from these people to complete their investigation.

@Hardees You should have an FBI promo - a Free Biscuit Invitation. Show your phone for a free biscuit.
Shouldn’t that be, “Surrender your phone for a free biscuit?”
