But anyone dumb enough to try this would start Civil War 2.0.

i lol’ed when i got to this line because you perfectly described the circumstances describing nixon’s resignation (excluding the execution).

Living in Texas had taught me that, if Texas wants it, it is therefore bad.

execution

As Moscow increases military spending and Western sanctions weigh on its energy exports, the currency dropped below the psychologically important level of 100 to the US dollar.

there are many currencies that go well below 100 per dollar; i wonder why this is a marker of any kind.

you can not blame them all you want, it’s still true; i speak from experience when i say this: gays are the most-clueless of all the minorities.

My own back spasms were similar; but I’ve had them enough times that I’ve learned ways to manage the pain enough to finish a thought other than “ouch”

I’ve been able to reduce the frequency of occurrence by experimenting w my sleeping and exercise habits and learned that pregnancy pillows are worth their weight in gold for me; maybe they’ll help you?

“There are many Middle East countries who do not tolerate homosexuals, they actually hang and execute homosexuals,” she said, according to Reuters news agency.

“In the US many states have passed laws that are either against or restrict activities of homosexuality… so why pick on Uganda?”

because they have more money than you.

If I’m going to spend all this money on living expenses I may as well do that somewhere better.

i did something similar between austin, texas and chicago, illinois. now my new place is 2x the size; w lots of amenities; costs less than texas; but most importantly, my new home isn’t descending into a conservative fascist hell hole while everyone just sits around and watches it happen while simultaneously ignoring the clear reasons why and how to help it. lol

i had the same thought: NPR did a story on alaskan pipelayers & plumbers that were starting to experience the effects of climate change on the soil about 15-is years ago and then revisited them again about 5-ish years ago. in the first set of interviews from 15 years ago, a big majority refused to attribute the issues that they were experiencing to climate change and in the second set 5 years ago, they nearly unanimously refused to attribute the issues to climate change.

climate change is now politics and any and all politics will be denied if you want it bad enough

moderates are the reason why the extremist right groups exist per martin luther king’s explanation: https://letterfromjail.com/

tldr: I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

i love how the people he’s screwed hard enough to be forced out of politics continue to publicly insist that they’re best buddies with him in the hopes of continuing to woo some kind of base; especially pence. lol
