Trouser cuffs work best with a soft-handed fabric like gabardine. Tweed's thicker, flow-resistant quality, great for jackets, may not look as sharp once all of the cuff layers are together in the bottom 2" Smile real purdy like, and no one will even see them.
❤️ Unpopular opinion of mine: Unless you read Russian, the 4+hr opera by Prokofiev is the better way to enjoy the former... I tried the book in college. Nyet. But made it thru the entire opera live at the Met directly after a 5hr flight. Za zdorovye! 🥂
Rule of law does not "erode" like sand. The sand is is passive. The Rule of Law weakening over time is a predictable result of deliberate court decisions, made specifically to favor monied interests. Next time he's 'calling balls and strikes' may the batter turn and use the bat for good.
How does she respond to "Bitch, please, you definitely need to meet somebody and lift that leg!" 🤣
It's not a threat to people...Population decrease is a threat to capitalism.
A comfortable life used to be the American Dream. Not being a financial mogul. Not fighting for the top spot on the food chain. Working to get your share of the pie with the whip cream on top. Grabbing enough food to fill your plate, but leaving plenty on the table for others. Let’s do that again.
Rudy created the brief saturated media distraction demanded by the boss. Good dog.
Although, in Wagner, when Knappertsbusch can make one measure last 4 minutes...
Has Press ruled out the simplest explanation? A massive diaper blowout singed the hair off his head, tore lampshades, left shrapnel in The Resolute, and instantly "antiqued" all the new gold macaroni on the Oval's walls, and the drapes/sofas won't be sanitized until next wk. Follow new NDAs.
it played 5yrs, and as it moved from house to house, you'd think they'd want artwork that anchored the ship in each. But at that same time, active US military engagement in the SP region was now a new war, and was this a factor in reaching new audiences, with TV's now in more living rooms?
And one for Lily!
September 1, 1939 I sit in one of the dives On Fifty-second Street Uncertain and afraid As the clever hopes expire Of a low dishonest decade: Waves of anger and fear Circulate over the bright And darkened lands of the earth...
I'd like to think that the additional reported accounts from the brave victims would lead to justice. But everything so far indicates that This Congress couldn't force Trump's DOJ to sneeze in a pepper storm.
Did Rudy receive an order from Palm Beach head office to manufacture a viable 2-day media distraction...or else... ?
Maxwell almost certainly had charming, athletic, maturely developed boys under 18 (of several races) on a separate menu for Soused Southern Senators, Gay Conversionists and visiting Royals. Trump loses leverage if she spills first.
Nothing in the Promised Land is more precious to the shared God of Abraham than tacky hotels. (Book sales -thx Gideon!!)
Perhaps by trade, still in Don Jr's Favorites
Of course there is hope, provided we accept it at any scale onto which we can briefly cling.
But you only need to cross one to make a point.
Since the 1960's they have spent billions to refute all evidence, with their investment — despite objective reality — still paying off.
He demanded to be shown proof that the hideous criminal eyesores (human beings without homes) have been removed, to validate his success.
Actually, since 1969 when they booted The Smothers Brothers...
Governor Reagan got the trend rolling and the GOP ran with it.
Annually. I think mine is from 15 consecutive yrs of •ugh-back-to-school• compounded with 2 yrs of Senioritis in HS. So it remains deeply engrained into my solar rhythm.
When mine needed a symbol I added Zildjian.
It was a great concert evening at the Bowl with dear friends from OOT. Lauper and Mitchell in especially great voice!! But, c'mon. Cher's so old she has run out of her own farewell tours... Loved it!! www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
They fully understand. They're willfully indifferent to using their power to save lives because some of those lives spared might not be "American enough"
Dean the wounded vet will be enjoying a series of first dates with his left hand.
🙏🏻Please let the tale include a bottle of tequila, Howard Hughes, Kate Hepburn, and an Alpha-Beta delivery boy...
Hot temperature? Uh-uh. Hot sexy? Nope. Hot stolen.
I think a second party will erupt spontaneously on the streets of DC during the somber funeral procession, following the appearance of the Riderless Hobby Horse with empty Bruno Magli loafers backward in the stirrups.
he can pretend he's come into money.
Knowing full well that she could never have faked the sincerity to play Mary Poppins...

You might wish to take it up with WS Gilbert.
Should eligibility include attendance? Contract fulfilled? Limit on % of call-outs?

Party over country Party over human lives Party over decency Party over being a fucking human being
Large brain, but his uncle was never a Science Doctor David Harvard.
Take heart, Joe. People can change their worldview for the better, and you are proof. (btw, when I look at you, I see Susie, rest her soul, a fantastic theatre colleague of mine for a decade...and I believe she'd be proud)
Dildæ. Because Greek.
The EMT With The Paddles will issue a ruling.

It's part of the transition to • It Is so decreed •
What if we established a tax-exempt Church of Democracy and sued the government for infringing on our religious freedoms when it does authoritarian stuff?
🥂to Preston I remain pissed that The Palm Beach Story is now an unfortunate title.
Loved this!! Elizabeth Perkins first film - she got my attention right away
How I love this. I hope you do too
This has nothing to do with gay. Uncle Sam is desperate, tacky and probably drunk off his tattooed tittes.
'Yes, but those were just foreign Catholic prayers, not the real Christian American prayers that automatically shield children with the Flag.'
Feckless Karolunt
Hmm. What in the circle might have been the mistake? Plummer held the whistle in his right hand, and it was actually a left-handed instrument? The on-set dialect coach had a fit that Kym Karath kept speaking with a French accent? Shot after lunch, Greta's neck tie had Spaghettio stains?

In Heidi Schreck's What The Constitution Means To Me, a point that stuck, is that America's Freedom is the result of •knowing• that we're free. That the limits on what our gov't can do to us is _always_ upheld by all 3 branches. Mere •doubt• in the gov't is enough for fatal harm to Freedom.
Domestic Policy of the current administration is: Reduce the US Population HHS: We'll keep 'em sick! Treasury: We'll make the poor starve and the old die! Homeland: We'll make brown people null and void! Defense: We'll send the Marines to thin the herd in the streets! AG: We'll lock 'em up!
The only difference between Jim Jones and Donald Trump is that Donald Trump would charge you for the Kool-Aid.
#waste #fraud #abuse.
Why do we not push back harder on 'we never imagined...' trope??? Application of Law is 50% hypotheses. It's his mf job to imagine. Any elected or appointed official who has a JD.
His mother took ill as soon as he left her womb (recovery from fetal toxins?🤔) Fred was •the• parent along with "interchangeable" maternal proxies in staff and immediate family. Fred formed the monster. Deliberately. Probably before the kid's 2nd birthday.

Irresistanceable!
which GOP legislator will be 1st to say "Now is not the time for finger-pointing"...? My money is on Cruz.
Mike Johnson has found a reason to pretend. John Thune has found a reason to pretend. John Roberts has found a reason to pretend. The three biggest obstacles.
Our National Anthem, a musical and poetic symbol, Is about The Flag, a romantic visual symbol Which flies over a Fort, a military might symbol. GOP lives for them all. Fuck the people, It's All About The Symbols.
Well, I'll look forward to not seeing it the next time I don't eat there.
OK, Marco. Now do 4 jobs that have you up at 4am to pack kids lunch, then on your feet doing repetitive motion from 6-3, then manning the cash register for 4 hrs at a store, then bartending til 2, and on the weekends, hired handywork, all while your spouse goes through chemo. Fuķķer.
Christian Hypocrisy is overlooked so long as the law against battering gays for no reason gets reversed.
Mr. Grenell is gay only from the waist down.

Too much.
The Democratic Party folded on Dean rather than fighting. Shameful.
🥂Over a Christmas holiday in the 70's Dad dragged all 4 of us kids out of the house to see a BB double bill on a revival house silver screen. My first taste of Ruby. Ten yrs later, got to meet her in person ❤️🎂
Then I want to see our president stand firm in exactly the same way as Der Fúhrer.
Remember that Howard Dean tanked his own nomination with a single Yeehaw.
I regularly chat with a 'friend' who is so 'secret' no one can see him. Perhaps the 'weapon' is the same flavor of 'secret'
I had read Fortnite Hottie, not Scrabble Hottie.
22. To quote Joan Blondell as Lottie in Here Come The Brides, 'I believe that. I believe it twice'
👏🏼👏🏼Don't forget that POTUS's company is already in our Treasury system as a payee. He can both add a zero as a vendor —and— overpay by another zero via Bessent (oops processing error) at Treasury.
Bugs was a cross dressing, lipstick smearing, lingerie wearing, pucker upping FIEND!!! And we loved him and didn’t have one thought about sexuality or “conversion”. 😐
🤣🤣🤣 Kristi lacks the inherent warmth of Mary Grace.
Good thing there are no Mexican people who know how to work with metal, huh?
JJ has been subpoenaed to speak in Columbus, Ohio soon, under oath, about sexual abuse of students that continued when he, as staff, might have said something to stop it •instantly• He knew. He said nothing.
I see. You must have one of the fussier digital models issued after 1982. The old-fashioned basic Analog Anus can bounce back in an hour's time, providing gears haven't been stripped.
Like black mold. Only orange.
Suppose that there is sufficient proof of Trump's criminal behavior for the public... •Would he resign? •Would the Republican House Bring Articles of Impeachment? •Would the Republican Senate Remove? •Would the Bondi DOJ Investage and Indict? If No, No, No, and No Then what? Seriously
Hang in there, Franklin!!
How else would one expect a child-abuse accomplice/denier to respond? His minimization of the abuse is part of his own defense.
Gratuitous Viciousness worse than imagined? It was everything but his '24 Campaign Slogan. A willful utter failure of imagination by the Investment Class. Imagined by HRC in 2015 - ignored Warned every day in 2016/18/20/24. All ignored. Willfully. www.joemygod.com/2025/08/wsj-...
Nice work, if you can get it. (And I'm sure you could) Any evening, any day...
Oh no! Not your My One and OnlyFans!
🥰 Don't do anything that frightens the horses.
Wait, how was I gonna finish that?
Way-past-middle age is just
Balancing the camera, of course.
You bring something all your own!
