Is it too much to hope that it’ll be a resignation speech?

the temporary crown for a new replacement. Oof. 😅

Turns out that the lack of pain was really an absence of pain. The tooth was already dead from a root canal procedure from many, mang years ago. Still amused that the dentist in **tsking** about it sheared off said, “the crown was supposed to have outlived you”. About to sit in the chair and swap

if I remember it rightly.

But to this day, those same acquaintances blame Democratic special interest groups for interfering in their livelihood.

I have many acquaintances out in the Permian Basin region (West TX), and they saw the fracking boom as a renaissance of opportunity to new wealth and upward mobility.

The fracking has slowed to a creeping crawl — mostly due to concerns about waste cleanup and other environmental concerns,

Been asking that question about TX for a long while now.

Going to be an interesting primary!

Hugs back to you! Glad that you are much better.

Lost an artificial crown today to a gummy bear. Will see the dentist tomorrow for a replacement.

Good news — no pain!

But feeling the cavity feels super funky.

🤦‍♂️

And if my suspicions are right, the fractions within NATO are much, much, deeper and wider, and this division is actively exploited by Putin and his cronies

I’ve long held the suspicion that the US government **wants** to return the seized assets back to Russia. Question is whether the limbo status is being used to hold the US from doing something stupid with the Russian assets frozen under US control.

Headline should say “Russia/US peace proposal”.

Nevertheless, that is welcome news from true friends and allies

Methinks the spirit received an assignment to deceive Johnson, and from Johnson, the rest of the MAGA republicans

Bingo. And even MAGA could find a way to justify Herod’s order of the murder of the holy innocents

If you are the president, and your name is in the Epstein files, you forfeit the constitutional authority to nominate federal judges, esp SC vacancies

Is there still a chance that Ukraine’s response is a 🖕to the orange felon?

Trump is not and has never been an ally to Ukraine. This deal stinks and is rotten and was not written in good faith.

sCOTUS— you’re still going to spin his words as “official act”, n’est-ce pas?

Does this open the door for defense attorneys to request grand jury transcripts for all other federal prosecutions under the current administration so that it can be verified that the grand jury actually saw the charges?

I’m so so so sorry for your loss. Take as much time as you will need for yourself and for them.

I wouldn’t be surprised. America Media’s reporting on this was… interesting.

The mind boggling part for me is that the bishops treated Biden as impossible to work with, but some feel like they can influence an adjudicated rapist, convicted felon, …

Analysis: The U.S. bishops showed their unity on behalf of immigrants—and may have repaired their relationship to Rome
In a moment that called for solidarity, prophetic witness and, yes, unity on behalf of the vulnerable, the bishops came through.

Why was the vote not unanimous? Is there any way to find out which bishops voted “no” or abstained?
