Fundamentalist Christo-fascists. There, I got rid of the "misunderstanding" and "slander".

You described his day job perfectly! "...while Trump himself remains dangerous he also serves in an additional role as a conduit for all sorts of bad actors, conspiracists, grifters, ne’er-do-wells, hangers-on, con artists, extremists, and ideological wackadoodles."

Only the timing’s at issue.

Normally I’d attribute Biden’s acquiescence here to some sort of surrender but I’m not sure the IRA legit was pushing for a little too much a little too soon.

Wherever the market is or could be, the tech still isn’t ripe.

We have a PHEV. Nearly all local driving is in EV mode but we also did a couple of road trips that were EV-free. That said, the hybrid mileage was pretty damn good.

Gold sneakers at $600.00? 🤣 Going to have to sell a lot

of those just to pay NY 9%

interest on defrauded millions.

I know the best landfill MTG can make her next move on up to.

EVs? I have one. Have been

riding in one for about 20 years. I can travel 15 miles round trip on a routine

charge. ♿ 😁 1 battery needs replacement once a year,

price varies, covered by

insurance.

Thanks Dave. Good start to a

TPM week

No Daddy did NOT die a MAGA, the story makes clear he repented at the end, I wasn't going to read it but I am glad I did. I urge all that see this today to call as many republican congressmen as you can and urge them to force a vote for Ukraine.

As for the infusion of Xian nationalism in Trump 2.0: that spectrum of Xianity can reference Judaism however they want but the their core is the antithesis of Judaism. Do an online search of “tikkun olam”.
