Might tucker out after a few months, but I’ll at least start by checking every bill at the bank and asking for exchanges. “Give me currency without that scumbag’s signature, please.”

I do hope it’s not a competition.


People who don’t necessarily want a public record of their every purchase.


The Guardian is a bit better than average, but this “exclusive” is the same media bullshit seen everywhere — the pretense that Trump is a serious politician with serious thoughts and a serious agenda. He’s not, and the pretense is preposterous.


Fortunately, this will be the only instance of terrorism inspired by the ongoing war in Iran, he said sarcastically.


If your hopes rely on the Democratic Party, all is already lost.


It’s a chance to bring suffering and perhaps death to the weakest and most vulnerable, so there was little doubt how the Republican Supreme Court would rule.


The article doesn’t quite answer the headline’s question, so I will: Why are they prosecuting non-violent protesters? Because cops are cops, so local cops support ICE, and prosecutors are virtually always on the cops’ side. There is no-one in government who actually believes you have a right to peacefully protest, unless you luck into a judge who still has a soul.


Oh, I’m all the evil.


Gosh, another black woman Trump can’t respect. What are the odds!


The news keeps getting better and better! DHS is largely a useless agency, and eliminating these special privileges for “certain people” will give those people a small reminder of reality for the rest of us.

Worth looking into, thanks.


Crap. Obviously, I’m gonna gotta stop using archive.today, but it’s the only way around paywalls at numerous sites.
Removepaywalls.com (plural) inserts ads, often for shady operations.
Removepaywall.com (singular) usually works, but it’s tricky sharing the links (i.e., “choose option 2” or “choose option 4”).
Byebyepaywall.com has old, dead options.
Wayback Machine bombs out a lot.
And ghostarchive.org is successful so rarely it’s really a last resort.
Anyone know of any others?


Both sides do it, both sides do it.


And I get where you’re coming from. (: But I have never heard ‘sweetmeat’ as anything but a pickup line.


None of this is in my top 10,000 worries right now, and I’m lactose intolerant and drink almond milk and eat boca burgers, but let’s be factual, please. Milk, meat, and flesh have always referred to animal products.


? Not a “bombshell,” and hardly news at all. You’d have to never glance at the news to not know that Trump “fought the hardest” to bury the Trump-Epstein files.


Exactly the right response.
Read the article, to meet a genuine wingnut who ought to be disbarred instead of being AG.
