Karoline Leavitt: β€œIt’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.”

She’s talking about a fucking draft.

I agree but I don’t hang this solely on the GOP. The Dems are a sorry excuse for an opposition and the population, whatever it’s mad about, (everything from Gaza to trans to women having rights to too many brown/black people decided the logical solution was to burn the country down.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Make fun of her Slam Book the same way you made fun of Noehm’s blankie today. That was effective.

Great place to live except for the moms for liberty taking over our libraries and their husbands trying to get co trol of our county commissions.

I live in a rural town in the WNC. It is HEAVILY GOP except for Asheville (β€œthe big city”). Would have gone for Trump hurricane or not. Biden could have rebuilt WNC as the Land of Oz after the hurricane and it would still have gone to Trump.

a white orb covered in black speckles and spots rests on a dark sofa cushion. the left side is a dalmatian’s face, tucked in toward her haunches with her thin tail wrapped up to hug her face. she is looking at the camera with one sleepy brown eye.

This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)

Exactly; that was before he decided he wasn’t running again.once he became a lame duck he decided to act like an actual Senator.

Yes; IIRC he took himself out of contention and Kamala was disappointed because she already knew him from the days when they were State AG’s working on the mortgage crisis together.

True story: in the city I used to live in some EVs were convinced the Rapture was going to happen on a certain day and they literally stood outside all day on that day WITH SUITCASES!

Tillis is doing a great job since he decided not to run. Too bad that’s what it took.

He's what we call Tarheel born and Tarheel bred, so he doesn't have an accent here in NC. But if you're in NC, you probably do.

No one ever talks about him in terms of 2028–but perhaps they should be. Compared to recent occupants of the office he’s not THAT old….

i did canvassing and voter protection in Durham in the 2016 election, and Cooper came in and did some horn thing with his fingers and shouted something like "Bull City Brawlers!!!" and i was ready to run thru a wall.
