I consider Joe Biden a devil.
I like to garden, sew, cook, write, & play video games. Still masked up. Mom to grown children, and caregiver to my mom & sister.
Zone 5a Illinois.
Gardening is political. Hobbies are political.

I'm with the plants today. One of the tiny tim tomato plants has so many flowers on it. This was a frantic cutting from an outside plant about a month ago.

i've found that the argentina bailout along with (what his base sees as) the h1b reversal are both neglected in terms of being a fissure points of the MAGA coalition.
the argentina bailout is the stealth thing that's killing him. it's gotten sort of desultory coverage in the mainstream media as far as I've seen, but people haaaaaaaaatttttttttee it. it's like every person who's glancingly heard of it has a grudge forever.
The topics where Trump has his lowest approval rating, via Marquette poll:
-Jeffrey Epstein (-48%)
-The government shutdown (-50%)
-The Argentina bailout (-58%)

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

It *is* possible to get cross-jurisdictional and multi-police department Slack chats out of departments via public records requests. Here's a glimpse at the Chicago-area police Slack chat with people responding with the 👀 emoji to the news that there's been an ICE-involved shooting.

This is, arguably, a credible death threat by the President of the US against each of the speakers in the video; because he knows very well the impact this will have on a sizable cohort of his followers. They will understand this as a call to action, which he fully expects. The evil knows no bounds.

pretty clear a big part of the mainstream media-led backlash to #metoo is the number of people in media who take advantage of and abuse others.
they made it seem like it's about fairness, but they just didn't want to face any real consequences for their behavior.

So if Olivia is 32 now, broke up with Lizza last year, was together with him for a decade, and then was living with you for 4+ years before that, how old was she when you moved her out of her (presumably parents’) house in the suburbs to live with you?
Btw about this from Lizza's reply: Olivia and I lived together for 4+ years (4 b'days, 4 Xmases, 4 anniversaries). That's like $1250 of jewelry per celebration. And her apartment was a writing studio. And I made an f-ton then. What was I supposed to do? Get her a lot of Gift Certificates from Kmart?
