Patiently furious.
Scared little puppies piss on everything to mark their territory.

Same principle at work here.

His stain will similarly be removed.

Everyone except ~30% of the nation who have lost all reason or ability to think critically.

Scratch 'critically'.

He has no idea what we 'had', or what was 'taken away', he's just badly parroting what he was fed, which are complete fabrications to justify theft, war, and murder.

"We want, so we take" is the mantra of the right. Damn them all to hell.

This isn't actually great, WA-4 is a *deeply* red district. WA has a top-two primary system, and WA-4 was the only WA US House district to have both Nov election candidates be R.

He won by only 6 pts over his *FAR* right MAGA opponent. (Jan 6 participant, 2020 fraud, etc).

He was the moderate.

Remove *ALL* default church tax exempt status.

Make them show they are a societal benefit, like any other tax exempt institution, on a case by case basis.

The ones that are (and many are), will be fine.

The ones that are thin veneers over con artists and cover for predators will dissipate.

"Missed"?

Ignored.

Pseudo-Christian cults are a hotbed of predators of all stripes, and pedophiles thrive in that environment.

I got out with only mild trauma, but many friends and family suffered horribly, and NEVER received justice.

It's endemic, and accepted in those power hierarchies.

Oh, them’s the crazy eyes.

Sooner would be preferable, and I'm not convinced we'll have the chance in Nov '26 to actually vote, but as long as the tide turns and utterly wipes the GOP from the political map... it'll be a start.

Insecure puppies – anxious, terrified, and nervous – have to pee on everything to leave their mark.

Trump reflexively slaps his name on everything for the same reason.

Doesn't work... does nothing but bitch... unwanted...

Man, he's just projecting all the things now, isn't he?

Can't wait to contribute to the Guinness record for largest public latrine.

It hit my sweet spot: I oversaw the loading and unloading, no one had access to it en route, and I didn't have to drive it. :) It was cheaper, to boot.

Not for everyone, but it sure worked for me.

Their secret sauce is logistics - they pick up and drop off other freight in between to offset costs.

Yep. Mayflower could not tell us where it was, it just... didn't check in. Apparently they made an unscheduled trip two states over with our stuff in the back, then showed up when they felt like it.

Thanks, and I'm sorry that happened to you. It's endemic in the moving industry and there's little to no recourse for compensation.

(BTW, packing the truck is when local hired helpers are fantastic. I didn't mean to imply *I* packed the truck...)

Dirty secret: the shipment gets moved between trucks at will, and multiple households will be placed in one truck, and contents often get mixed.

The opportunities for non-malicious loss / box swapping are HUGE, on top of the outright theft.

Instead, used: www.upack.com

You take care of packing the truck, and a wooden wall goes in, you lock it, no one can access. You only pay for the space you use. On other end, they drop off truck and you have three days to unload it.

They also have pod-style options, only zero damage move I've had.

I once had an employer pay for a move, and after the claim was processed for the lost and broken items, I ended up with an amount larger than the entire moving costs.

(They lost the truck for two weeks, as the cherry on top.)

Haven't used a mover since, even cross-country.

They have to steal his achievements, they have none of their own.

And they know it.
