The most important skill/habit to develop in the age of the Internet has been and will always be the willingness and ability to click the "Discard Draft" rather than "Post" or "Send"

If you had no discernable skills, but also no discernable principles, it was a guaranteed job with great benefits.

This is a thing I keep explaining to people who never dealt with CBP in the before times.

I grew up in a border town in the 80s/90s and CBP has ALWAYS been staffed entirely by shitheads with giant chips on their shoulders.

Just about every constitution the US has "given" other nations since the end of WWII has been vastly superior to our own in every single way.

Our 6yo is sick with a 103°F fever. Tonight at bedtime I told him, "I'm really sorry you're sick, buddy" and he responded, "It's ok, Daddy. I accept your sorry," and then rolled over and fell asleep.

Is there a 3 Frogs resistance or No Kings logo yet?

Maybe a rework of the Gadsden Flag with a frog and a pot that says "don't boil me"?

Boil ICE not frogs?

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid

Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

I remember as a kid asking my dad what stops the President from doing bad stuff he isn't authorized to do by Congress if they agree with him and him saying something like "because people with power almost never give it up without a fight."

I'm sure it's a bad idea, actually, but if the current constitutional order is collapsed, then maybe we just send some folks to a hall somewhere and draft a new one and send it around for ratification to see what happens. Worked in 1787.

I never got it either until my doctor recommended I try it because I was constantly dealing with ingrown toenails.

It is a very nice experience. You don't have to do anything for presentation.

FWIW I changed how I take care of my nails based on recs from the pedicurists I met.

Whoever is running the social media for Derek is supposed to be working to hide the fact he doesn't know how the government is supposed to work not highlight it

At least Kim doesn't pretend to stand up to authoritarians while cheering for the end of the constitutional order

This is literally unconstitutional you twit. I never thought I'd be happy I got districted out of CA45 into Young Kim's district, but he we are.
