Republicans are the gas pedal and Dems are the brake pedal. Bernie was our option to reverse, but his opportunity is past. If we get to vote again, hopefully AOC steps up and the voters get it together

Since then it looks like the Republicans became Democrats and Democrats became Whigs.

Get in loser, we’re starting a new party

Listen here you little… well done

That looks like a nice plot, thank you for sharing the picture. I always struggled on the best time to trim the old canes, do you prefer to do that in the fall after fruiting or spring?

If you want to make a change, you have to understand that you’re going to fail a lot and that’s ok. I don’t really like to direct people to reddit, but mostly lurking there really helped me a few years ago before I even stopped drinking. https://www.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/

I had a lot of times where I just wanted to not drink for one day for whatever reason. Then I stopped for a week here or there… then I tried it for a month to see if I could. Later, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t drink on vacation so I’d be more present, and I kept going.

“and only if you” openly admit it. Can you imagine what a plea deal looks like if prosecution isn’t a slam dunk case?

“We don’t admit any wrong, but here’s a donation to the officers benevolent organization.”

Ask the Irish about that.

Police protecting a fascist march, same as it ever was.

Nestle intensifies

That looks very nice, you have a great attention to detail

Is it though? No one waited around and avoided email because they weren’t sure which provider to use. Just make an account and go… if you hear or see other features that you want, then move.

Weren’t they just pardoned?

Last I read, they’re only allowing Tyrolization.

These strategies have existed and have been deployed in the past. “Them” have always existed and have been exploited to more/less success.

So what’s changed this cycle?
