We're just 61 electoral college votes away from ditching the electoral college. Let's add some states on the to do list for 2025 www.nationalpopularvote.com/state-status

Y'all need reminding that Mark Burnett is the producer of Survivor.

He also produced The Apprentice and is currently Trump's Special Envoy to the UK. I stopped watching in 2016.

The BS from his mouth is infuriating. Go Beth!

This is all for the cameras. Annoying. Also Lawler -- Please tell me NY 17 has a plan to fire him.

Suspect you are correct. They don't charge me for it and it's happening in the background. Not sure I mind.

It's the same on Apple. I have to refuse continuously. I'd like to scream only it'd be into the wind

If he pulls off this off defending Illinois and Chicago against the federal takeover, he'll be an excellent position. I'm rooting for him anyway.

True, yet she also seems to be positioning herself for post Trump, hence going after the Epstein files too

Wow, looks like it will still be a highly desirable community. Right on the shore and nestled into a natural wall.

Only how dumb to have the highway separate it from the ocean. The road should be on the other side of the hamlet

Any idea how it resolved?

ThinkPeace @masshole8647.bsky.social · 1d

I think it's an attempt to foment political dissent. And I don't think it serves Us well when we get sucked into their violence

I want to see massive protests, yet more provocative and less confrontational/aggressive.

No need for another reason. Do it now

In retrospect, we shouldn't have expected any different from these large multinationals, and that includes the universities. They've been kowtowing to foreign oligarchs and despots forever. Let's teach them that it won't fly here

They would know if there was an explosion. And how quickly the fire accelerated. Perhaps even corroboration on where it started. The pictures make it look like it went up very fast. And the damage is nearly complete.

How often do investigators come up empty?

ThinkPeace @masshole8647.bsky.social · 1d

True and yet SC investigators just as quickly ruled out arson. Sadly, my lack of trust feels warranted

We'll know more when we hear from the three survivors that were in the house at the time. I hope her husband is recovering

None of them aren't what they once were. But I subscribe to my town paper as well. I bring it to work hoping 1 or 2 of my colleagues will read it too.

On any given day it will have 2-4 local news articles. The rest is taken from wire services, plus letters, sports coverage, and the puzzles

It has really declined, yet i still think it's an important paper and we some how need to save local news

Ugh, how can you spend so much time with that face?
You nailed it though

ThinkPeace @masshole8647.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, I don't trust either DOJ or SC to investigate it properly.

Not sure how aggressive the insurance company will be in investigating. If it's arson, they'll certainly want to know.

ThinkPeace @masshole8647.bsky.social · 1d

It's too much for me to sort out and remember which companies are capitulating. For every one we know, many more are flying under the radar

I think it's much easier to cut spending across the board and focus on buying essentials from local companies that you know.

OMG, yes. Messed that up. TY

ThinkPeace @masshole8647.bsky.social · 1d

Not sure what you are implying. I added that same article to my post yesterday when the NYTimes put it in their politics section.

It is highly suspicious on it's face and I don't trust SC to investigate it squarely. Though the insurance company will probably look at it closely. We'll see, I hope.

Lots of media covering it now.

Vincent Battiloro ID’d as suspect in horrific targeted hit-and-run murders of NJ teen girls

The teen driver charged with murder after allegedly mowing down two 17-year-old girls in New Jersey was identified Thursday by neighbors and traffic tickets obtained by a local news outlet.

We don't need violence though. We have a more powerful weapon in our numbers. We go after the economy with a general strike starting yesterday.

Everyone cutting back on purchases across the board.
Shop locally for necessities
