His suits still look pretty expensive. Wake me when he has to put them on consignment.

"100 Years of Solitude"

There's a series? Need to get to that.

"My question becomes, at this point, was VP Harris' name intentionally mispronounced by some as a deliberate attempt to tag her as an evil ~immigrant?~"

It took me a while to get her name right because of Kamala the Ugandan Headhunter.

It took me a minute to get Barack right because I have a friend with that name who pronounces it differently. Now he goes by the Presidential pronunciation. At first he used to assert his own pronunciation but it became pointless after a while.

"for a retiree youre an awfully miserable person."

It's so funny how I can be away for a couple years, come back and see this in the recent comments page and think, "Gracie?"

Thanks. Yeah, I never even got to meet her. Was intending to visit at Christmas. My other nieces and nephews call me Uncle Awesome. I had plans for that kid lol.

I would have credited him with relevancy at least up until his Victoria's Secret commercials.

My neice died October 2023 at 11 weeks old due to SIDS according to the Spring Hill ME report. The fact that her half-sibling's grandmother was drinking and on drugs, failing both field sobriety and blood tests, when she was sleeping with her wasn't enough for another determination.

Not sure which version of events brings me less grief though.

Both things can be true. They're not mutually exclusive.

*Private to Laura:

Laura, you should hmu again if you want. Just wanted to make sure your profile wasn't hacked.

"The statement described the change as a move "away from one-size-fits-all paternalistic guidance" to a stance in which "immunization for any vaccine, along with practices like mask wearing and social distancing, are an individual's personal choice.""

These people have zero conept of public health.

"biden just pardoned a judge who got paid to send kids and others to jail"

Firstly F Biden for doing this. I'll never vote for him again. Secondly, your inability to acknowledge scale differences has to be intentional, because you wouldn't have the brains to turn on your phone to post that if it were something you couldn't control.

>the data is not allowed to be retained after the verification is complete.

Sure, but the penalty for doing so won't be anywhere near as large as the economic benefit of collecting and selling it, so these companies will be obligated to operate in violation of the law, especially if they're publicly traded companies.

"------- is selling a$2 bill with his face on it"

Isn't that queer.

"They're actually held captive because he has their passports locked up in a safe."

Foreign guest workers who have to fly to get here are far less likely to quit before their contract expires. It's a thing corporate concessioners have known for decades. Trump doesn't need to confiscate their passports.

His kid and mine went to the same summer camp for a couple years. Used to run into him at drop off/pickup. I liked him back in the day. Was willing to forgive the first transgression but then he got caught a second time. Dude has self control issues.

The only thing worth going to Twitter for these days is porn.

"The ban is only for minors not already on them."

Helping children properly transition decreases suicide rates. This decision will lead to deaths.

"Puberty blockers have been banned in the UK."

Only if you're trans. If you're cis you can still get them for a number of medically indicated reasons. So it's not about safety, it's about cruelty. And pandering to the cruel. They want trans people to detransition or self genocide so their good christian hearts don't have to think about people like that existing anymore.

"that was the most racist posting I have ever seen"

Spare us the pearl clutching histrionics.

"Oh wait, we want to legislate other people's choices, leave ours alone."

Republicans really show their creative energy discovering more refined ways to torment the poors.

"I've got 100 bucks says none of you said one thing when this schittte was written...."

I haven't been here for like three years. None of those statements were made by people representing the federal government. Which was my point. And a major distinction. You're smart enough to see that, I wasn't trying to be mysterious in my op.

Feels so good to be returning to our Christian foundations.

It's a solid plan. Raid the farms. Arrest any US citizen that refuses to be deported with their families, charge them with conspiring to defraud US immigration or some nonsense. Then when in jail the warden can contract out with the same farms for even cheaper labor than before! Keeps the agriculture industry running and frees up all the better jobs that some of these people may have had, and they can be filled with white people instead, as god intended it in his greatest nation on earth.

"Shooting down a stranger in the street from behind requires a certain psychological detachment that not everyone has."

I can't imagine but maybe all it takes is one bad experience.

>Since the Supreme Court's June 2023 ruling that barred race-conscious admissions at universities, the share of Black students enrolled at many colleges has decreased"

My daughter just put her application in for Carnegie Mellon, Michigan, Northwestern. By the numbers she has an excellent chance to get in all of them. I'd be more interested in the acceptance rate than the admissions rate. There are a number of factors that could contribute to the actual enrollment numbers in this economy.
