And every time that idea forms, people parade the ‘we gotta take/hold the majority this next election, simmer down about those shitheads.’

It is, but solar fiels aren’t spectacularly robust constructions - a significant factor in a region subject to increasingly powerful hurricanes and tropical storms.

No? No more than UK/EU travel is free, anyway.

Rich man’s war, poor man’s fight as it was called.

Fuck Camden! The downtown is a snarled mess of pedestrians and state highway traffic.

Lovely place if you don’t have to pass through, though.

Ain’t that some bullshit that every time they win the primary I have to “hold my nose” and vote for their coprophagic ghoul, but when DSA sweeps the primary it’s “damn, I hope you had fun driving away moderates”

I suspect I culturally missed the mark: [Boss Hogg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_Hogg) was a villain in his story, so I thought that was the reference…

I was faffing about in the designer; did they remove the option for power windows entirely?

Woah, there, buddy. All of Chinese history is a long-ass time. For a pretty big chunk of that (noncontiguously) they were the trigger-happy power.

1. Trump disapproved of the optics of Israel taking so long with the Gaza erasure. So… Half credit?

2. Not to my recollection, but that was never the ambition with his “peace through power” schtick.

3. He made LOTS of hay about sending Witkoff over to try this, to the point that several posters here were grousing about the Logan Act.

Ehh, Biden talked a lot of shit- some of the most egregious were his red lines on Rafah. Yes he was a step up from our current admin (almost fucking everyone is), but he left a lot to be desired- especially concerning everyone’s favorite Mideast Democracy.

This will never fly in Seattle! Too wet.
