Cannot emphasize enough: if you don't want the crypto/techpawn Senator, you should vote for LG Stratton

There are several other reasons for a progressive to favor her over Kelly. And a point or two Kelly has in her favor.

But at this pt it's most important to guard against a downgrade from Durbin

Donald Duck stands on top of a bird bath, smiling, as several birds look up at him from the ground excitedly. Heathcliff and Iggy watch from a nearby window, and Iggy says "Another birdbath celebrity sighting."

"Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas" is the closest we'll ever get to that scene in The Naked Gun reboot where Liam Neeson looks around the room and comes up with the fake name "Cherry Roosevelt Fat Bozo Chowing Spaghetti"

People are making fun of this but at the end they open mouth kiss and it's actually kind of beautiful. They're clearly doing hand stuff too but they don't show it.

A color portrait of American country singer Lyle Lovett, emphasizing his distinctive pompadour and angular chin. YΓ¬chΓ©n hadn’t heard of Lovett before, but now he takes a few minutes from his current investigation to search out Lovett on QQ Music. YΓ¬chΓ©n surprises himself by liking what he hears. At night he catches himself humming the melody to β€œThat’s Right (You’re Not From Texas).”

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

"More than one in four dollars of wealth in the US is held by a tiny fraction of households with net worth over $30 million. Nationally, we estimate that wealth over $30 million per household will reach $26 trillion in 2022 with roughly one-fifth of that amount ($4.5 trillion) held by billionaires"

A color portrait of Jason Priestley, who played Brandon Walsh on the hit 90s teen drama, Beverly Hills, 90210. Back in the day you were either a Brandon fan or a Dylan fan. You either went for the everyday boy-next-door Brandon or the brooding bad boy with a tortured past Dylan. There was no in between. And nobody went for Steve Sanders.
