Let's leave that up to the states.

We can only hope it's the beginning of the end for that caldron of toxic positivity!

Local Republicans: "It's the Haitians!"

Local person with common sense: "Do you keep your animals indoors at night? If not, it's coyotes. This is Oregon."

He's been doing this since the beginning. Anyone who has been around a 12 year old should be able to see this.

Go back to when he was asked about his favorite book/part/quote from the Bible. He sounds like a middle schooler who is trying to dance around how he didn't read anything for the book report.

The ability of half the country to willfully not see this (or just ignore it 'cuz librals are the devil!) astounds me.

Him and Jamie Fucking Diamond (CEO of JP Morgan-Chase) who always seems to get quoted as some sage of the economy when in reality he is seeking media attention to push a market or stock a certain way that benefits him or those like him.

This is a part of the plan to delegitimize and undermine any election result that doesn't go their way. "The election results are fake. We've been telling you for months that the polls are crooked so the election must have been crooked."

Is this Don's way of getting with the winning team; by campaigning for her? What a way to turn off the youts, offer free health care. Brilliant!

I'm a carrier for the US Postal Service. Yes, people actually buy stuff off of Temu. You can always tell it's from Temu because it looks like a ball of tape. Large ball, small ball...doesn't matter...it's Temu.

OK, I'll be the first to say it this time. While the results of this poll warm my heart, the fact remains that the only poll that matters is on election day! Make sure and vote.

Be sure and VOTE!

She's a national treasure! (And I hear she's a pretty good gymnast too.)

She didn't have to comment (actually she DID since the orange shit stained bully always requires a response during this campaign season), she could have just laid low, reveled in her Olympic wins, thanked GAWD and told the media her next move was she was going to Disneyland.

Instead, she bravely steps in and sarcastically jabs him on the nose knowing full well that the greatest insult to that privileged failure of a human is sass from an uppity negro. An actual WINNER, no less! Further punctuating that he's a loser.

As I walked out one evening by W.H. Auden

https://poets.org/poem/i-walked-out-one-evening

Or for the lazy who want to hear the poet himself read it:

The why is that long ago, when I was in college in Maine, my girlfriend's English step-dad read it to his wife after attempting to prove he was American by driving their VW Jetta around the garden in the snow. Alcohol was involved and when everyone assembled finally convinced Tony to come back inside, an English teacher friend compelled him to read a poem as proof that he had come to terms with the car stuck in the snow out back. A life-long fan of Auden he chose As I Walked Out One Evening. As it opens, the imagery and fantastic feats of love are obviously spoken by a young man, but "time coughs when you would kiss" signalling that "time will have his fancy, tomorrow or today." You can break down what it means to you but the undeniably great lines I continue to quote on a weekly basis, albeit in my head so as not to annoy others. As I get older I stare in the basin and wonder what I've missed, but I also know that I will love my best friend, and wife 'till the salmon sing in the street.

From what I have read, conditions of his release from the other trials include not committing ANY crime. Criminal contempt triggers this and Judge Chutkin is the most likely to jail him. Now...odds on that ACTUALLY happening...
