What "fight" were they supposed to be staying in? Were they going to do some gnarly fist-shaking at the death-dealing UAVs receding into the distance? The whole line of thinking is absurd

Wild that MQD disappeared like magic when a Republican administration came in. Just one of those things!
Her points are excellent but I harbor real doubt we would be getting all of these edifying little clarifications on the contours of MQD if Harris won

I was thinking Man City. Lots of money from sketchy sources, peaked a while back, a ton of legal exposure that most people assume will eventually be quietly made to go away... he'll feel right at home

We Spurs fans have suffered enough. And if you don't think Trump would be front-running with one of the oil money clubs, I don't know what to tell you

My MIL watches my 2 year old M-F. Every day he walks to his bed and asks to nap, where he will sleep for 2-3 hours. On weekends, same bed at same time -- either won't nap or is up after 45 minutes max
