It actually reads like a menu in a typical restaurant in my town, which is notorious for its inexcusably mediocre food. Some meat, a baked potato, some here's-your-veggies string beans, salad out of a bag, cheesecake. The cheesecake's probably not terrible

But I thought the crowd was not violent at all, just concerned citizens peacefully trying to observe the certification process. And that it was a false flag op put on by a violent mob of Antifa radicals. Now it seems it was all the Capitol Police's fault? I can do doublethink OK, but triplethink....

That's great, but why did you break with your party and vote to fund ICE? I know you're from a red district, but you could have just voted "present."

ICE is increasingly unpopular, even in Vancouver. Your vote has alienated liberal and moderate voters, and it won't gain you many from the right.

I thought so too (and can't prove it isn't). But the plaids, though very similar, are not identical. I can hardly believe Mrs. Vance would sit for a photo dressed and posed like that, or that her staff would allow it -- but wouldn't AI make the plaids identical?
