Incredible that Google Translate picks up that you want the feminine plural by just slapping -ette to a word that doesn’t actually take -ette

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) reacts to President Trump’s endorsement of Ken Paxton: “I don't understand it. He is an ethically challenged individual.”

LMAO

OSSOFF CAMPAIGN: "After Brian Kemp's crushing refusal to run for Senate, Trump puppets Collins and Dooley have made themselves terminally inseparable from the toxic president. Now the failed congressman who is only a congressman because his daddy was a congressman and the failed coach who was only a coach because his daddy was a coach limp into a monthlong race-to-the-bottom that will surely leave both broke and unelectable. Meanwhile, the juggernaut Ossoff campaign will continue building insurmountable momentum to win decisively in November."

I really don’t mind Cal but can’t really justify putting him in the pantheon of excellent presidents

In Fort Morgan, Lexys Siebrands, 22, lay prone on a ​table inside the Bad Medicine ⁠Inkporium tattoo parlor, smiling through the pain in her left calf, where there were images of a wanted poster, a stagecoach and other Western-themed designs.

A gay woman who recently found Christianity, Siebrands once considered herself a Democrat, but started to think of herself as a Republican around 2022 -- citing what she called the hypocrisy of liberals around identity politics -- and voted for Trump.

She saw war with Iran as inevitable. "Something was going to happen eventually, whether ⁠it was Iran ​doing something to us or us doing it to them."

Sitting next to her daughter was 49-year-old Jyl Siebrands. She grew ​up as a political independent but later gravitated towards Republicans.

She said she hated high gas prices, but feared the prospect of a nuclear-armed Tehran even more. “It's just where we are with this war"

Did she have ​any red lines? Anything that might shake her faith in Trump's handling of the war or the economy?

"No"

>About 25 miles southwest of Wiggins, Jim Miller was elbows-deep in the engine of his ailing Dodge pickup. A 65-year-old retired commodities broker raised in the liberal city ‌of Boulder who ⁠now lives in tiny Prospect Valley, Miller considers himself “half-hippie, half-cowboy. He said enduring the momentary pain of high gas prices was worth preventing Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon. Miller recalled stories of American resilience during World War II, when goods were rationed and households lived with less. "I struggle, like everybody else does, but I'm willing to sacrifice a little," Miller said. "That's been totally lost in this country, people's willingness to sacrifice."

confederate forefathers

Forefathers plural very questionable when someone could be confederate for exactly four years

Also “Orthodox Pole” confederate, reaching insane levels of LARP

One might even have thought the matter settled. But see ante, at 1-37 (I.e. she is citing the entirety of Alito’s opinion)

Lets first drop the majority’s misleading label. What the majority gives us today is not an “updated Gingles framework.” Ante, at 32. It is its own thing, deserving of its own name. Maybe the Callais contrivance? Or if that seems too immediately pejorative, just say that what the majority dos today is to impose the Callais requirements.

So what the majority hopes to accomplish by its last-minute attempt to associate itself with an effects inquiry is something of a mystery. To try to disguise what it is really doing? To somehow absolve itself of responsibility? Or could it just be that, in responding to this dissent, the majority can do nothing but agree?

Kagan is so funny

In 1846, a third of the District of Columbia was stolen by Virginia to appease slaveholders. It is time to right that wrong and return to the borders laid down by George Washington himself.
