Hate her current hair. Not appropriate for a mature professional.

It is clear that Ukrainians fucking rock and I look forward to visiting and spending money there as soon as the Orcs stop.

Yes, London is cleaner, has better architecture and better restaurants than when I started work there generations ago. Not chatty like people are in small towns though. Not something you expect. It’s a city.

Agreed. And to the extent there is liberal bias in Academe, surely having military officers (never shy of speaking up; I’m married to one) would tend to have a balancing effect on that bias?

You have to grow up with it.

In the days when I was carnivorous I liked tripe, kidneys, etc. Like genuinely liked.

American husband (your contemporary) will not even try.

And I still love nicely fried brussel sprouts.

Let’s crowdfund it and close down the grouse moors.

I’m really going to miss John Oliver.

Looking forward to all the samizdat publishers and comedians we are going to get though.

Not for corporations. Private foundations

Specifically private foundations.

Only for certain entities. Not for corporations.

Text of bill shows it only applies to corporations organized under CA corp code.

Most corporations are organized under DE law and even if DE adopted a similar law it would only accelerate the move from DE to TX that companies like Tesla are already doing.

Nice try but it won’t solve the issue.

Watch: Abigail Spanberger's full rebuttal to Trump's State of the Union YouTube video by Face the Nation

Dems should pay close attention to what Spanberger developed here: A forceful anti-Trump politics that speaks to people like grownups about ICE, grasps the political/cultural significance of Minneapolis, and doesn't shrink from defending immigrants and democracy:

Well no need to warn people now.

Because they absolutely should not be coming to the US in the first place.

She and her descendants should be where Andy is now. Not that I recall ever voting for any of this lot, but she seems like the most sensible of them all.

At least putting the girl at the back won't happen again.

Why not move Anne up while you're taking out Andy?

The SAVE America Act would centralize dangerous voter-screening power in presidential appointees, undermining the Constitution’s design, warns Cato’s Walter Olson.

He notes the urgency: after trying to overturn a lost election once, Trump could gain new tools to challenge voter eligibility again.

In the Eden Valley you’re more likely to be called β€œdarling”. β€œlove” a bit further south. β€œPet” or β€œflowa” usage starts as you head up the Pennines.

Hyper-local affectionate addressing.

I think my bartending experience has proved just as useful in life as my Oxford law degree.

At least I know better than to insult folks for having a job where they have to interact politely with people and work bloody hard.

Yeah, we are having a Big Party for my husband's Big Birthday and will celebrate on both sides of the Atlantic as Euro friends refuse to come over here.

Silver lining though...two parties.

President Donald Trump’s personal attacks on Justices of the United States Supreme Court constitute a calculated and dangerous assault on the independence of the judiciary and on our constitutional system of separated powers. Read the City Bar's statement here: bit.ly/3OwhvKe
