I swear that MTG is flipping because she now wants to destroy trump - she wants to run for President. Bella is right! Also I did read it somewhere.

Marjorie Taylor Greene seems to be a tad sensible these days. I think it’s only because she wants to throw her hat in the ring for president. Do not trust her.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social @bellagerencser.bsky.social Marjorie Taylor Greene is only sounding half normal because she is seriously thinking about a run for president. I saw that she was thinking of it yesterday.

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We’re building a unified opposition party that stands up to Trump’s regime and its enablers. Let’s encourage Democrats to keep fighting to protect healthcare for millions of Americans: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Sinister - From the Latin word "sinister," meaning "left" or "on the left side." The historical association of the left side with bad omens comes from Roman augury and the widespread use of the right hand. The modern meaning of "evil" emerged in the 15th century. #grammar #etymology #grammardiva

Uncanny - Something mysterious, strange, or unsettling that is outside of one's normal understanding or perceptions. While they share an origin in the Scottish word "can" (meaning "know how to"), uncanny is not the opposite of canny in modern usage. Canny means shrewd, clever or prudent;. #grammar

Bloodcurdling - Causing horror or chilling the blood, from the ancient idea that extreme fear or horror makes blood "curdle," meaning it thickens or congeals, a concept recorded around 1600. First used in 1724. In some cases, fear can actually make the blood congeal a bit. #Halloween #grammardiva
