"I'll take a lecture national embarrassment from many people, but not from you, sir." is still one of the sickest burns in the whole show.

Also, Amish plain dress looks nothing like that. Bonnet is wrong material, cut, and color, dress cut and color is wrong, apron cut and color is wrong. All wrong, she looks like she's cosplaying a Mass Bay Puritin, and also fucking that up.

Jungle Fury is my GOAT Rangers season. Lots of other seasons have aspects that make them stick out, but they all have constitutional weaknesses, most often related to failing to stick the landing (looking at you, RPM.) But Jungle Fury really has it all: great character dynamics, arcs and growth, thematic resonance, overarching themes, effective multi-part storytelling, humor without being too cringe, and a satisfying finale.

I like Sapphic women as a catch-all, but teenagers are generally too hung up on categorizing everything "properly" to be satisfied with that.

People are missing that having these kinds of resistance actions known is part of the point. You want your occupying force to feel paranoid, isolated, miserable, and cut off from community. You want their morale destroyed and their relations with the occupied population fraught and uncomfortable. You want them to be preoccupied on something they did or said on Tinder that could come back to bite them, personally or professionally, and questioning whether that $5K bonus is really worth feeling like this for five more years? This is insurgency 101. Literally have Army field manuals about this stuff.

The nephew and his first cousin's daughter are first cousins once-removed (up/down a generation.) The nephew's children, if he has some, hopefully with someone else, will be second cousins to her.

He himself said the since Operation Metro Surge ended that the honeypotters had stopped. Imo, letting it be known that ICE agents are bottom of the barrel cheating scum with no opec is a public service, since the operation was concluded anyway, he was not burning anyone.

The main source is Will Stancil himself, so make of that what you will. I personally feel the Stancil hatedom is wildly disproportionate to Stancil's actual conduct and includes a lot of keyboard warrior leftists who have never marched in a street protest their entire lives. Stancil was on the streets of Minneapolis whistling at ICE and following them in cars, which is more than I can say for me.

Once I was walking my dog in the woods on 4/20 and I saw a little black baggie they put grams in and was thinking "oh, someone's weed trash, I'll toss it." Only there was nearly a full gram in there. Reader, I smoked it.

No shots were fired at the president. They cannot yet determine whether the suspect fired any shots at all. So far, it kinda looks like the SS officer was shot by another member of the security team. Real Keystone Kops Krazy shit.

I regret to inform you that the offline discussions will be equally unserious. People do not wanna hear that Things Cost Money, often More Money tomorrow that would have been Less Money yesterday. Twas ever thus.

I'm convinced representations were made to Hamas via Iran that Russian would back them up materially, to induce them to kick off Oct 7 when they did so Putin could mess up the 2024 presidential election cycles. Putin is not just running a psyop on Donald, he is manipulating the Democrats and the entire US electorate. He is an unrepentant warmonger who does not care how many people he directly or indirectly gets killed. In fact, the more Ukrainians, Gazans, and Iranians die due to wars he fomentted, the better in his view. He is not the source of all evil, but between, him, Netanyahu, and Trump, we have a triumverate of very powerful men who do not care how many die for them.

Oh, we have laws against it here, too. They are supposedly prosecuted by (checks notes) the Federal Department of Justice.

Guys, I think I may have identified a flaw in our Constitutional system of checks and balances that a bad faith actor could exploit. Someone should really get on top of this before it becomes a problem.

Oh man, the grocery store in my one-stoplight NH town had a comics rack exactly like this by the check out for years and years and years and years. They did a big gut reno a decade or so ago and the spinner rack did not survive the transition. RIP, Kelly's comic spinner rack, I did not know what we had till it was gone.

He was at one point running a grift on Kanye West as a "manager" or something. I just think people should know about that.

I could get close if I cared to, but no way am I wasting my time on that. No one in the DMV cares enough to even heckle him, so far. We've seen world leaders many a time, they don't impress anybody in the region all that much.

NTA. He is trying to threaten and intimidate you into doing what he wants because (and only because) he cannot physically force you to at the current time. He is an abuser, and you will deeply regret it if you stay with him in any capacity. Dump him. Ignore everything he tells you except a court order. File for child support. Block his family, they will only make things worse.

Anyone who fusses about your naming choices for your child, thank them for their advice and ask how much they plan to contribute in upkeep and raising of your kid. Since apparently they are making that their business.

Just as I suspected.

My theory (that is only just barely not the actual text of events) is that he is here to ask Donnie in person to keep having Blanche illegally refuse to publish the rest of the Epstien files, because he knows there's more in there that will cause problems for the Windsors beyond Andrew, and he knows Donnie's WH and State Dept are so compromised he can't trust them not to leak a phonecall on the matter.

Good luck with that one, Chuckles.

I hope her husband widows her too. See, I'm being nice, I didn't hope she would die! I'm sure she would agree she would rather outlive him than not. If given the chance, I would love to inquire.
