500 bucks for Chinese quartz. Hahaha.

& I'm 12 years older than Pete and don't have wrinkles like he does...but I am almost nine years clean and sober and use SPF 70.

Switching to elder abuse cases from state policing was the best move. I'm away from these sorta little man complex douchebags who infest the entire profession from towns to the feds.

Jesus did have a meltdown against the money changers and many special interests...but he was highly social and even laid hands on people and washed their feet. I wouldn't even let mall workers spray cologne on me, and Jesus let a lady dump a bottle of perfume on his head. Neurodivergent? Nah.

To the MAGA cultists googling "Weimar Republic" - Willkommen!

My grandpa and the Super Sixth had to smash down the gates of facilities like the ones we allow ICE to run on our own country.

A step towards sealing the borders North Korea style so we can't leave?

I WAS one of the janitors! During breaks, I painted lockers, sanded the graffiti off desks and tables, and waxed the floors as a part time job when I wasn't fixing televisions at a repair shop.

I've worked with WNBA players, musicians, and other folks society doesn't value at our low paying social worky day jobs...just so we had insurance and roofs over our heads.

My grandma would have smacked me upside the head for talking like that.

When I was state police investigator, I stopped inexperienced federal agents who were never cops from violating rights - reminding them of unlawful search and seizure, but I've never personally witnessed LEOs abuse - throat punch suspects or bystanders, but I knew they'd be locked up if they did.

That is not an approved take down. The abuse under color of law suits are going to create a lot of future millionaires. Doing that on camera is a choice.

When I was his age, this stupid thing was all the rage.

My baby niece lives in Chicago. She and my siblings better be left in peace.

Talk radio stars and drug addicts Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck infamously called Michelle Obama "uppity" for knowing about vegetables like arugula.

The world is a big place and the USA wrongly believes it's special and doesn't have to follow the same rules as everyone else.

Thank you. Quite a surprise.

My grandpa was a legend at the FBI and he used to leave his revolver at home so he wouldn't get made as an agent. He arrested the highest ranking GRU officer ever captured without one and turned him double agent.

My kid was just traveling around Oregon last week and said it's the best. No terror reign noted.

There goes that dream. The dream was only a few months old, though, as I didn't think I had a shot until recently.

I am not wild about his music, but Bad Bunny as a person is impossible not to like.

These are the rightwing freaks who ruined Fetlife. Bet he was on there with this ghoulish kink. Might wanna dig up his yard and see who turns up.
