If Admin 47 wants lawfare, they're going to get it.

I like flavored seltzer water, it's helped me drink way less soda. However, I totally get why other people don't like it.

I have a schizophrenic friend from high school. He still makes more sense than most consrvative podcast bros.

Exactly! I don't want whatever fake "windfall reimbursement checks" Admin 47 most likely won't spit out at any point. I don't want to pay unnecessary, arbitrarily enacted tariffs that were unilaterally applied by an old fart who bankrupted a damn casino.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Jonn Elledge's first comment under the post was

"Before you all yell at me, my answer can be summed up as "fuck, no"."

So yeah, that rule about articles titled with a question always being answered with "no" holds true.

Was at a memorial service tonight. 2 hours of being absorbed in the moment & away from the news… & then the shock when it crashes back in.

The amount of our joy, health, & peace being stolen by these fascist fucks is just too much.

It’s too much and has to stop.

Off, well my advice was quite misplaced then, my bad!

Pro tip- the tex-mex flavored Hamburger Helper tastes a lot better with a few spices, some sauteed onions and peppers, and a can of black beans. Also helps stretch the meal further.

I'm at a wedding reception, it's in the low 60's, raining on and off, and the reception's being held under a pavilion.

Probably gonna use the old combo of beer, hoodie and/or sportcoat, and dancing to keep my body temp where it needs to be lol
