Just needs to The House and get signed by the Big Guy. What's the odds of that in this environment. History of the attempts to criminalize it: "The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was first introduced in 1918 by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, a Republican from St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States House of Representatives as H.R. 11279.[1] It was intended to establish lynching as a federal crime. The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was re-introduced in subsequent sessions of Congress and passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on January 26, 1922, but its passage was halted in the Senate by a filibuster by Democrat politicians, who formed a powerful block that exceeded their percentage of the population by having disenfranchised blacks in the South. Attempts to pass similar legislation took a halt until the Costigan-Wagner Bill of 1934.[2]Subsequent bills followed but the United States Congress never outlawed lynching due to powerful opposition from Southern Senators.[3] It was not until 2018 that the Senate would pass (unanimously) anti-lynching legislation, the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act. As of February 24, 2019, it has not been passed by the House of Representatives or signed by the President." Oh... Remember ideology tends to flip in "sea change" moves. Party names stay the same. Southern Democrats back then are modern day Republicans today.

Mick Jagger is

Jug of bleach.

Yes. (Or was for a long time until just last year). "Subsequent bills followed but the United States Congress never outlawed lynching due to powerful opposition from Southern Senators. It was not until 2018 that the Senate would pass (unanimously) anti-lynching legislation, the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act." https://www.ajc.com/news/local/georgia-lynch-mobs-devised-flimsy-reasons-for-taking-lives/DPNqpcG72DpJFUV6FLQnlI/ "...The perception is that a lynching always involved a certain means of death — whether by hanging or shooting or burning. “It’s not the method in which a person is killed, it’s the context in which they are killed,” said Hill, a professor of African and African-American studies at the University of Oklahoma. “That context is when the person is summarily, lethally and brutally punished for an alleged crime and denied due process of law. That cocktail of things is what we call a lynching. It’s less about being hung, shot or dragged to death. ...”

Really? Drunk driving in Wisconsin... No! You gotta be joking!

Then there I this Dude on a Midnight Bender... Taking the shortcut through an Appleton, Wisconsin roundabout... The hard way to Taco Bell! Head for the Border!© WTF is wrong with people! /smh Story: https://www.postcrescent.com/story/news/crime/2019/04/01/appleton-taco-bell-drunken-driving-crash-driver-arrested-sunday/3330563002/

What's the difference between a pirate and a privateer? It's all perspective.

Only if I wash it down with sugary Coca-Cola. That seems to be the "activator." LoL...

I know! The rest of family prefers double wrapped corn tortilla. My only complaint. Left overs, shells get so crusty. Corn is nice, but gotta be eaten instantly while still hot the first time.

That's better than dirt! But screw corn, flour is better. Better to heat the left overs, if there are any left overs! My addition to the international culinary delights (along the lines of fusion al pastor): All you can eat Middle Eastern buffet. Kufta kebabs, chicken shawarma saffron rice and golden lentil soup!

Boy... You must suck @ history. George Washington died in 1799. Even if the poster wanted to meet General Washington and 1st POTUS in the 1800s it would have had to have been 6 feet under. How cool would that be! ? /smh... Who's your history teacher, Uncle Bugs: LoL... Anyway, I took the poster's comment as trying to be funny. ?

Interesting article: https://garage.vice.com/en_us/article/d3kd3q/anna-delvey-grifter-fashion From last May. "...She didn’t look like her outfit cost a million bucks—and that’s why she looked like she had a million bucks. ..." "...Both of the recent Delvey exposes—one in New York magazine and the other in Vanity Fair—attempt to grapple with the inability of the New York party circuit (not to mention several banks) to sniff out her fraudulent background until it was too late. On Twitter, her hair was singled out as a “tell”—“anyone rich enough to live in a hotel has perfect hair no matter the weather or season”—but what does her clothing tell us? ..." He'll be back to see new photo! ? Read the article above. Just dress likeva slob, rich people like that now!

The specter of desperation is kicking in! Take what you can! Bring your bankbook too!

Close your eyes @mead107! Ut OH! I feel an emoji outbreak in the works!

Maybe they can sail off the coast of Norway: https://globalnews.ca/video/5091539/cruise-ship-loses-power-in-stormy-seas-off-norway Come set sail w/Jon: "Living on Prayer Cruise" I betcha they have a really nice brig for your kind of special... Probably the best part of this cruise! Just lock me in solitary!

Outside of the obvious offenses of fraud... Aren't the people who fell for her to blame? What did they think they were getting in return. Isn't this like falling for a "Nigerian scam" type thing. How stupid does one have to be to not check out her story. Hate... To put it on the swindled... But aren't they the bulk of the problem. What did they expect in return?

Looks like Mead is "making bank." Have a nice happy ending... Or as they say in the NFL: Krafty Ending.

What was your bill 12 months later? Ouch?

Wow... Ain't that special. Heck, aren't we all special! The World is made for you! Each and every one of us! Now there's the spirit! ??

I don't live in Chicago. I don't even live in Cook County. I do work there and am working overnights, 1800-0600. Yes, first I am hearing. I have no social media presence (except this place, if you want to call it that)... Again yes. I really don't follow news some days, etc...

You gotta be kidding!

I guess he doesn't have Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_stratospheric_cloud The stratosphere is very dry; unlike the troposphere, it rarely allows clouds to form. In the extreme cold of the polar winter, however, stratospheric clouds of different types may form, which are classified according to their physical state and chemical composition.[4] Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk. PSCs form at very low temperatures, below −78 °C (−108 °F). These temperatures can occur in the lower stratosphere in polar winter. In the Antarctic, temperatures below −88 °C (−126 °F) frequently cause type II PSCs. Such low temperatures are rarer in the Arctic. In the Northern hemisphere, the generation of lee waves by mountains may locally cool the lower stratosphere and lead to the formation of lenticular PSCs. Forward-scattering of sunlight within the clouds produces a pearly-white appearance. Particles within the optically thin clouds cause colored interference fringes by diffraction. The visibility of the colors may be enhanced with a polarising filter.[1][5]

An even more brilliant story, linked from above story. Police interview backfires. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41950775 He answered the police interview in farts: "...Explosive new details have now emerged of Mr Sykes's original interview in September that was brought to an abrupt end. According to the Kansas City Star newspaper, a detective's report said Mr Sykes "leaned to one side of his chair and released a loud fart" when asked for his address by police while being interviewed in September..."

I deserved it. I just can't leave well enough alone expressing my frustration.
