I was a altar boy in my teens.

i was expecting this to turn a different direction.

really tight competition with a day of doom eight years earlier–which, if that didn’t happen, the more recent probably wouldn’t have either.

and then republicants blamed biden for the mess that was left behind.

the haters, the racists, the sexists, the homophobes, the gun fondlers, the diesel fume huffers, and the bible thumpers vote repulbican every. single. time.

too many democrats jump ship and stay home, vote for the no chance party, or republican if a candidate doesn’t support every little policy and issue they want or who supports something they don’t. even if the fate of the nation and democracy is at stake, they’ll abandon reason.

a majority ofall republican senators will vote to confirm the waste of organic matter anyway.

he’d just overrule anyway like he did jared and a couple dozen others before.

a lot more than $1k

We find that health costs associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and post-partum care average a total of $18,865 and the average out-of-pocket payments total $2,854 for women enrolled in large group plans.

…

These costs are more than many families can afford. Roughly one third of multi-person households and half of single-person households would not have the liquid assets needed to cover typical out-of-pocket costs associated with pregnancy and childbirth in private health plans.

from this kff study

i remember what happened last time.

i remember almost losing the most important person in the world to me as a direct result of that asswipe.

i expect even worse than what i could possibly come up with on my own.

you’ll know nasa is doomed when space-lasers greene or flat earth boebert get tagged for nasa admin.

if elon lied on immigration forms, strip his citizenship, seize his wealth and assets ‘earned’ after committing that crime, and kick him tf out.

if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don’t want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

In contrast, policies like the Inflation Reduction Act have driven $150 billion in new U.S. manufacturing, particularly in Republican-dominated regions. These policies have also created about 300,000 jobs.

the leopard’s gonna get fed good here, but not until they can blame it all on democrats.

peaked during ww2 at 94% on high incomes (over what would be about 2.5m today). stayed at 70% or above until reagan… the entire 50s, 60s, and 70s.

a competent individual with extensive litigation experience in constitutional law would be the ideal choice here, seeing as this administration is about to face more lawsuits than any in history… but no, donvict chooses another moronic ‘yes man’

duluth is ok, too, but the range has lost its political magic over the years.

the other college towns like mankato, moorhead, st cloud, bemidji are a lot redder than one would think they’d be, unlike some nearby college towns in wisconsin (eau claire, la crosse, superior. menomonie being an exception to those–it’s dunn gone red lately)

Trump’s cruelty is so innefficient

the cruelty is the point. he “hurts the right people”

record everything. skip the commercials.

the need for having them in an ad supported environment is understood. but it’s long since gotten out of hand as to how many there are. 8-10 minutes per hour when i was a kid to 20-22+ per hour now.

they’re getting ready for a huge offensive, and push to kyiv. january. third week. obvious choice for time frame.

that’s why djt told putin not to ‘escalate’… he was really just reminding him “not yet”.

he has been against it, then most recently for legalization… he was most likely lying through his leaky diaper then, so i suspect he’s gonna flip back no legalization, no reclassification, aggressive targeted enforcement, and trying to screw up states’ own legalization efforts.

his accomplices have been working on stopping the reclassification already.

gotta dumb-down the next generation of voters, i guess.
