Call me cynical, but I find this quite dubious. One, the kid in the photo looks 12, not 16. Two, why aren't they named? Three, the real kicker: 1944? If the contest were judged by Eleanor Roosevelt, maybe, but it seems far more likely the kid would've been expelled from school for being "uppity."

I dunno a way to do DMs here, either, but you can text me at 831.295.4398.
I went back to DU for awhile, but, man, the Lounge has changed a lot. It's like all dad jokes and critter videos. And if you sneeze and don't say "Excuse me," you're liable to get suspended.

Is that how you read it? Any time I read or hear "(law enforcement agency) said," I automatically replace "said"with "lied."

Someone posted he recently had a brain tumor removed and is now in rehab. I guess the surgery affected his motor or cognitive skills.

Since Epstein's girls wee literally that, I'm in complete agreement. This is not to say, however, tha I also agree with newspapers running "john lists" (if any still do), because I don't believe adult prostitution should be criminal.

This can only be fascist retribution for the Dodgers refusing to allow the ICESturhm into their parking area recently and/or donating $1 million to assist those affected by the ICESturhm in L.A.

Apparently, a lot of right-wing misogynists/incels have taken that as a battle cry of sorts. I saw it a couple of times when I was on Fascistbøk.
Maybe they'll all die of blue balls.

Your OP is like a scavenger hunt to get the ingredients for a word salad. It makes no sense.

There're multiple grounds for the impeachment of The Felon. We need someone in the House with the guts, and the assurance their fellow Democrats will sign on, to draw up the articles. I don't understand why that hasn't already happened.

Well, there's one thing I definitely don't understand: what you mean by"*all* states pretend they can control where we the people LIVE." Unless you refer to "Black sections of town" et al, which I believe have long been by design, I have no knowledge of any pretense of control.

This is not "another country." This is the United States ot America. We're supposed to be different from "another country." In fact, we've always prided ourselves on it.
Emma Lazarus would be interested in your argument and the millions just like it. Shall we return the Statue of Liberty now?

Same here, except 1965 was my first Series. Grew up listening to Russ and Lon on KSFO and trying to pull in Vinny, Jerry and Ross after sundown on KFI.

But why Ohtani's number? Why not Doc's, or that of one of the guys the UStapo would abduct on sight, like Teo?

There hasn't been a day in the last 61 seasons that I wasn't a Doegers fan. This makes me especially proud, though. 😁

I make it a practice to avoid absolutes such as "all," especially about things of which I have no personal knowledge.

Thank you for saying "I define." Others have different definitions, which is part of my point. The other part is no one has the authority to say you're wrong, only to disagree with you.
