Rainy is relative of course. It’s much more rainy than the south and central parts of Spain, but also much less rainy than Seattle where I spent a decade. There’s a website called weatherspark where you can plug in 2 or more cities and get a comparison of all aspects of weather. I highly recommend it.
You don’t need to speak Basque. Rural folk prefer it but are fine with Castilian. In the city you’re more likely to run into people who don’t know Basque than people who don’t know Castilian. We moved here knowing neither, and our 70ish Basque neighbors who have lived in the little village their whole life told us to just focus on learning Castilian and to not even bother with Basque because nobody will expect adult immigrants to know it. We’re picking up a few phrases of course but have no intent to become conversational. Getting conversational in Castilian is proving to be enough of a challenge.
Oh please. Garland was a huge mistake. But you think MAGA would have done nothing if Biden had replaced him with, say, Jack Smith?
Just admit Garland fucked up. As I said 100 times, when history came knocking, instead of answering the call Garland ran behind the couch and shit himself.
But Biden’s hired Merrick for exactly what he got out of him. So it’s not like he hired Merrick to be an aggressive AG and got as passive one.
It was Biden mistake to hire him, biden’s mistake to keep him…
Replace “Garland” with “Biden”… i’m with you here.
As is the current problem with much of the old guard… Biden brought 1980s/1990s solutions to 2020s politics.
Merrick was hired to take the posture he took.
This is why I say you are mad at the wrong person…
Biden wanted what he got. If he realized his mistake he was either too weak to make a move or it was way too late. Either way. Buck stops with the president.
Just like now with Elon… I’m not mad at Elon for taking the approach he’s been hired to, i’m mad he was hired to take that approach in the first place, and worse, the president is sticking with an obvious continued failure. Buck stops with the president.
