@outerbororoyal.bsky.social Hi! I see you’ve added me to a β€˜Bad Faith’ list. I’m curious to know what I’ve done to earn that distinction?

Yes. Jasmine Crockett called her out about that, and Noem responded that she did not agree with the judge’s ruling, and Crockett asked her if she has a law degree. Then Crockett schooled her on legal process. Someone else called her out for calling Petti a domestic terrorist.

Our garbage day was yesterday. The new big-ass bins are still cluttering up the sidewalk.The new collection system looks like a big solution in search of a problem. What about the old system did not work that necessitated this new fuckery? Thanks Doug Ford! 🀬 #ONPoli #WaterlooRegion

When he attacks Canada, then the rest will wake up and say, we should have stopped him at Iran already

Rich donors like the Adelsons.

They were both great candidates, but Talarico had been officially campaigning for the nomination for much longer than Crockett, and before that he did a lot of low key campaigning. I suspect if she had entered the race earlier, she probably would have won.

I loved my time there, as I had the privilege to work with people from all over the world, including many who were either in exile or refugees from countries like Syria, Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

Also sad. I lived and worked in Dubai in the early 2000s. For most foreigners working there it is not the life influencers portray. It is regular people doing regular jobs and living regular lives, who went there because of good job opportunities, not to dodge taxes or live the high life.

Some of the other Emirates are, but not Dubai.

Well? Did he punch you back after you punched him, proving how you were totally justified in punching him in the first place? πŸ₯‡

Aww, I’m sure they’ll make an exception for him? Might as well put all that entitled privilege to good use.

Wait till he sees my list of β€˜men the world will be better off without.’ And yes, by some weird coincidence, they are all men.

I’d say directly or indirectly, the principal source for instability and terror in the Middle East is NOT Iran. It is the USA.

It does seem increasingly likely, doesn’t it?

I remember in his first term when he talked about young girls getting trafficked for sex. He was so graphic about it, and I got that same impression then.

But β€˜Vote for Jasmine because James is a Christian’ is not only a pathetic message, it is also bigoted. Furthermore, telling people not to vote for a candidate because of their religion sounds dangerously close to exactly the type of thing you preach against!

Instead cannot begin to tell you how off-putting this kind of message is. You are dragging down a good candidate with nothing substantial, only your own prejudice against Christians. If you really want to bolster a Jasmine Crockett, tell people what sets her apart, what makes her the best choice.

The market value of any shares or stock options needs to be calculated and added to their salaries to determine their tax. And if they can’t afford to pay it, they need to do what anybody else would do - β€˜realise’ the stock or other assets and pay the tax!

Melania appears in the Epstein files more than Hillary, so if any First Lady should testify, it’s Melania!

If we don’t see the progress of AI as a reason to start implementing UBI immediately, we are in for a world of hurt.

Flat taxes are regressive! 15% tax hits a poor person MUCH harder than it does a rich person.

I’m no geneticist, but as far as I know ancestry can be traced either through matriarchal or patriarchal lines?

I think the point is that people need to start thinking who the best candidate is NOW, long BEFORE the primaries, not just go with the flow or allow the establishment to pre-select winners. That best candidate might even be someone who is not thinking of running and who needs to be persuaded.
