Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Eh, the City of Falls Church Police drove Volvos for decades because Beyer Volvo was in the city and donated them.

Gets you a reasonably quick shutter for something moving, and a good depth of field so the focus doesn’t have to be super accurate.

What's simplest way to signal you have never read Great Gatsby and have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER of its main plot points?

I'd say: Posing a flapper outside 1920s car—which might even be yellow. As in first pic.

Like having a "Chekhov party" with a gun on the dinner table.

The cruelty. The ignorance.

Republicans and independents do, and if you don’t win independents you lose.

It’s the opposite of the Newsome problem. He pr can’t get the nomination, but could get enough independents to win the general.

-THE big shift was post Civil Right Act: White "solid South" Dem—>GOP

You know all this. Just saying. 'Nat'l Minority' issue is ... complicated.

I don’t think the federal government had anything to do with this. Bowser and the city council have been imposing curfews on their own, primarily because there been a spate of shootings lately.
