That means you have to make every post extra compelling so that if one of them randomly pops up in his Discover feed it will lure him back.
Anti MAGA, Anti Crypto, Pro Humanity A Blue Dot in a Purple District in a Blue State Retired. Curmudgeon. Empty nester. Too much time on my hands. I used to live with my wife, two kids, and a dog. Now I live with my wife and two cats.

I wish she would explain why she voted for him over Harris. Was she duped into thinking he was going to end inflation and bring prices down, or was it just racism?
Quiet quitting - do the minimum required to avoid getting fired. Or maybe for you, do the minimum required to avoid getting evicted.
And think of all the business leaders, politicians, and other government officials who are forcing themselves to be in denial, blocking the truth, and pledging fealty to someone they all know in their hearts is a monster, for the sake of money and power.
That’s similar to the Garbage Plate from Rochester, NY. 👍
Is this one of those Jeopardy skits from Saturday Night Live? The odor, ad or no?
Would it help if all your followers wrote testimonials regarding how useful and interesting your previous submissions were? Just post instructions, names, addresses, etc. and wait for the responses to start pouring in.
When they went to simple majority instead of 2/3 majority. No compromise. No deals.
Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa Men have named you You are so like the lady with the mystic smile Is it only cause you're lonely They have blamed you For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile . . . Are you warm, are you real Mona Lisa Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art -Nat King Cole, 1950
They make voting very inconvenient in poor or racially diverse areas. The majority of the voters are white, middle income people who are suckered by the guns, babies, Jesus, low taxes mantra of the right wing politicians.
So do they respond by lowering the price in the US to increase sales, or by raising the price in the US to restore profit? Do they reduce production in the future since the stuff has a long shelf life?
They should know that the more you know, the more you know you don’t know.
My big question with all the Republicans getting booed at their town halls: does it reflect the majority in the district, or is it just a loud few? Are they going to get re-elected anyway?
If it has moving parts, it will break. If it can be dropped, it will break. If it is in a wet environment, it will break.
Glowin’ like the metal on the edge of a knife -Meatloaf, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights
I live in Northern/Central NY state. Canadian news and especially Canadian Olympic coverage is a welcome alternative to the US propaganda.
It’s been exactly 50 years since I became familiar with the NORML movement. I never thought it would happen. (National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws)
So a follow-up to your papers on surfing lessons and a pilgrimage will be centered on going out to buy groceries?
When the pandemic hit, most hospitals had to get extra funding from the state. It’s much cheaper to fund vaccines than to fund over crowded hospitals.
I suppose you’ll soon want a walkable neighborhood, green energy, free healthcare, fresh food, and smaller cars. Oh wait, you’re in Europe. You have those things. Never mind.
But how else will you know if they have a beautiful wife, or a handsome husband, and wonderful kids?
I just got some vinegar from my salad in my paper cut. Wow! That hurts.
Was it sarcasm?
What happens when the auto industry runs out of spare parts from Germany and Japan?
With gerrymandering and low population states, 41% could be enough for republicans to maintain their dominance in the house and senate.
Onslow looks like he’s completely surrounded by no beer

I always thought Sissy was cute, but Bobby looked like a doofus.
He doesn’t understand or care about any real issues. As long as he feels adored, he’ll let them do whatever they want.
He is transformational. Transforming the government from democracy to fascism.
I avoid most main stream media. The right wing only watches Fox and Newsmax. The “left leaning” news media is losing viewers. Their corporate overlords are likely dictating media policies, and they are all MAGA, so they make more $$ with republicans in charge, even with their media losing viewers.
Start with a series of rallies all around the country. Get multiple Dem politicians involved. Pair up locals with big names like Crockett, Sanders, AOC, etc. Get your message directly to the people. Don’t rely on the media.
AOC and Sanders had those rallies that were capturing the media’s attention. Why did they stop? Democrats should team up and hold at least one rally each week.
My daughter is a chem teacher. She’ll give the kids 5 optional homework problems. She doesn’t grade them, but she will give a graded quiz that consists of 3 of the problems.
Food, shelter, and medical care for the needy aren’t on the list, and it’s one of the most important Christian beliefs, and it’s mostly ignored.
Isn’t that one of those things that tourists from the US are known for? If you start wearing white Nike shoes, cargo shorts, and a baseball cap, you could be accused of cultural appropriation.
In addition to the dead leaders, a very large number of high ranking officers and political officials were either executed or committed suicide.
You would think that the resorts in the US would be offering discounts to try and attract business, but so far I’m not seeing it.
The Bills don’t have a defense. They won’t win more than 9.
But you know there’s a latent talent that has yet to be discovered
When they claim to be lazy but post their triathlon results
This manifests itself as an arcane justification for acquiescing to the least common denominator.
Can concur. My daughter and wife are high school teachers. My brother is a retired university professor. The politics, egos, and competition among co-workers seem much worse than in the business world.
Well, their proudest achievement was drinking out of a garden hose…
If Joe Sixpack in Middle America is starting to realize that the Republicans are a shitshow, and perhaps he should investigate what the Democrats have to offer, he doesn’t want to hear these fancy college nerd words. Describe your policies with words that he’s comfortable using.
It’s a Catch-22. Get a tough host, and nobody will want to be a guest. Get a weak host, and it’s not worth watching. They could have Democrats on there and treat them nicely and let them get their message out, like Fox does with Republicans, but I doubt their corporate masters would go for that.
My FIL used to say, “it smells like football” as the weather started to get cooler and less muggy in mid August.
So what type of book is selling these days? Perhaps you’re writing a romantic mystery novel, with a bit of comic relief, and coincidences that border on the supernatural. No?
Does removing phones from school help teachers, which would be a left wing idea, or does it instill discipline, which would be a right wing idea?
My daughter’s family went there recently. They said it was much less crowded than the one in Orlando, and they were able to go on many rides with little waiting. They said the French staff were much more laid back, which they thought was probably a French thing.
Ever look in a mirror and get startled because for a second you thought you were looking at your father? I have.
There are worse places to be leaking from
I don’t want to work. I want to stay in my bed all day. I don’t want to play. I want to stay in my bed all day. Every day when I get home from work, I feel so frustrated, my boss is a jerk. I kick off my shoes and I jump in my bed, And I pull those sheets up over my head. Oh, I don’t want to work …
Would these people let a 12 year old with no experience or training drive their cars?

If the US is the greatest country in the world, it’s because of natural resources, a good climate, farming, and isolation that prevented destruction in WW2. It has very little to do with the government or any exceptional people who live here.
Probably something horrible like withdrawal from NATO.
He never intended to do any good. He intended to stay out of jails, punish his enemies, receive adulation from sycophants, and make a huge personal profit. So far, he’s been very successful at accomplishing what he actually intended.
The big question is how insurance companies respond. It’s cheaper to get a vaccine than to get a bad case of Covid, so I imagine insurance will continue to cover vaccines.
I enjoy impressionist paintings that contain a curved road past a few trees and small buildings. Pissarro and Sisley are my favorite artists in that style.
Bad as in gives bad advice, or bad as in naughty?
My FIL was born in 1935 and he’s a Fox News junkie. Not now and never was a hippie.
The concept of slavery was taught in school, but I don’t remember details about the horrors being taught. Most of what I know about that was through osmosis over the course of my life.
The same people who reject the advice from generals, scientists, medical doctors, etc. will reject presidential rankings by historians.
People who are the innovators at these companies are mostly immigrants or first generation citizens. They can go wherever they want. They won’t put up with government interference.
People like my in laws watch Fox News but don’t go on social media. They don’t know about Trump’s inane tweets, but Fox News is telling them about Newsome’s inane tweets out of context. So now they think Newsome is weird.
I thought Target had a good idea to make some clothes unisex. If a girl wants a truck t-shirt or a boy wants a unicorn, fine, so be it. But they backed away from that.
I haven’t followed baseball in many years, but the fact that he is Carl Yastrzemski’s grandson is awesome.
Trump probably designated the seating. Put the youngish, attractive-ish blonde woman next to him.
Fox News is being smart. Many of their viewers are unaware of Trump’s inane posts, but now they are becoming aware of Newsome’s inane posts. They don’t understand that Newsome is making a parody, they just think he’s being weird.
Coffee deficit?
I think there’s a mandatory break-in period when you try to convince each other that you’re a fun person. After a month or two that fades away.

MSNBC originally was short for Microsoft-NBC. That partnership dissolved many years ago. Now there have been corporate re-alignments, shake-ups, buyouts, mergers, divestments, etc. so they are distancing themselves from NBC.
Those two flags are not waving in the breeze similarly at all. That vehicle would have to be going about 60 mph or 100 kph for those flags to stand out so perfectly. I suspect doctored footage.
If you spell it “socialacious” then you could pronounce it as “so salacious” which might be fun.
If the Epstein files exonerated Trump he would release them. Therefore, anybody who has read them and hasn’t leaked them or resigned is complicit.
This is why I put shelves above many of the curtain rods in our house.
Mega wealthy versus the rest of us. Why they want to rule over an unhappy hellscape makes no sense, but apparently that’s the plan.
Public toilet or wading pool?
In this situation there is no scenario in which you can be nice, maintain your dignity, and get more sleep.

Hospital corners! If you also do the top sheet with those it’s like being in a straight jacket.
Sociology experiment. Got out to a bar like that and see if a different type of guy hits on you.
The MAGA cult has made the US flag a symbol of their movement. I feel that the left should start a movement to fly the flag more often to prevent it from being a symbol of hate. I hope it’s not too late.
They will soon learn to twist it into a strawman argument in the ongoing battle of fewer vegetables and more tv.
At what point does fawning over the boss become so cartoonish that the boss realizes you are just a fool?
Maybe you should go back to watching tv and eating ice cream with your nieces.

Remember, the Boomers (your mom’s generation) are the ones who invented giving kids participation trophies.
Tell your sister that with four kids she obviously needs a dog.
If a court tells California that they can’t gerrymander, then neither can Texas. That should open the floodgates for lawsuits all over the country, which will be a huge benefit for democrats.
