Can you hit repost? Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat. My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you share and follow me?

I admit I listen to Parker and Dean Withers pretty much daily. I have noticed that it's getting harder and harder for both to find people to debate, I like to think it's because Trump is harder and harder to defend.

What are they pumping into Donald Trump right now to give him energy to do this press conference that was scheduled for 2 pm but still hasn't started at 2:36 pm? Any guesses? This is what corporate media and MAGA did 24-7 with Biden. Perfectly fair to ask.

As long as you can maintain a consistent high temp (like 450F) for 40 mins AND include a tray with some ice in it for steam in the first half, I think it could work! I'd certainly try if I had one. I'd rest it on a cookie tray or something instead of the rack, though.

This is why I use that word: the outward and "don't give a fuck how it looks" 'version' we're getting now is public and outward-facing. Far more bold than ever before. That's what I mean by 'dabbling'. Give me a break here. I'm not the enemy.

I'm old. I'm aware of our history, more than most, as a history fan & daughter of an educator who insisted I learn facts. Many white people are ignorant because they were taught history from the colonizer's perspective instead of the indigenous peoples' who were flourishing before we showed up.

You're gonna make me explain. Fine. This current accelerated version includes American troops on American streets and nationalistic military parades. America's fascism was hidden to the average citizen. Now it's out in the open and flourishing. Because this 'version' is palatable to maga.

My best tip is just to DO IT. I've found sourdough far more forgiving than it's reputation. I feed my sourdough once a week, after I use it for our weekly loaf. That way it's always ready. The worst sourdough loaf is better than any commercial bread you can buy. :)
