I have no idea what this means. But if she misspoke she has about 5000 more episodes to catch up with trump.

"my concern with getting an inflatable was getting a hole in it, and then you are into patching, and that seems to never work. Have you had to patch yours? " this is so true. I don't know that a patch has ever worked for me on a pressurized air mattress etc. That's why I'm concerned that fishing might not be ideal. I've put hooks into friends (and vice versa) and myself. Thinking the paddle board might just get me to nice points on land. I'm thinking the bungee cords on the front of the rental are pretty std and would hold a rod and a very small tackle box?

glad to hear it. But why are people willing to have more children just to get a relatively small financial benefit. I suggest this is largely due to poverty. Is the poverty sometimes self inflicted? Yes. But pay disparities for people doing the same job (same for females vs males) is an issue and there are others. for example https://www.epi.org/unequalpower/publications/understanding-black-white-disparities-in-labor-market-outcomes/#:~:text=Another defining feature of racial,%2C when it was 16.4%.

never said it didn't. I'm highlighting some underlying issues. Are you arguing that black ethnicity is genetically predisposed to crime? Or that black single parent families are more common because of some physical/psychological flaw? Or could it be that socioeconomic status is a major contributor? To investigate, one would need ethnic as well as socioeconomic crime data. Nice little research project...

Yes, if you are black and especially if you are from certain geographic areas. "The United States incarcerates its people at the highest rate in the world (Walmsley 2018). Perhaps the most notable feature of the criminal justice system in the United States is the disproportionate impact that it has on Black individuals and families (Tonry 1995; Western and Wildeman 2009; National Research Council 2014). For instance, in 2017, the adult impris- onment rate was nearly six times higher for Blacks than it was for Whites (Bronson and Carson 2019)." for example, blacks (being disproportionally poor in comparison to other US races) are disproportionally incarcerated in modern day debtors prison: "Nearly two centuries ago, the United States formally abolished the incarceration of people who failed to pay off debts. Yet, recent years have witnessed the rise of modern-day debtors' prisons—the arrest and jailing of poor people for failure to pay legal debts they can never hope to afford, through criminal justice procedures that violate their most basic rights." From the ACLU...being poor can put someone in jail.

What are some good, easy meals my wife can’t screw up?

Just watched a couple episodes of Oliver's show based on this. Made the mushroom Carbonara in about 15 minutes and it was delicious but almost all these recipes look amazing and all in 1 pan. btw, used double the bacon for a much creamier sauce than in the pic. https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/articles/best-recipes-jamies-one-pan-wonders-channel-4/ -

shocking! For offense or defense? -
I made a comment that MAGA's want trump as a monarch yesterday. Continued support for trump after White House meetings like this support that theory. How do you rationalize these attempts to hold power by illegal acts? Looks like Jack Smith is getting plenty of evidence. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/06/politics/oval-office-meeting-trump-special-counsel-probe/index.html

https://thehill.com/newsletters/morning-report/4084994-the-hills-morning-report-greene-out-as-freedom-caucus-regroups/ Normally, I'd view this as a badge of honor. But she was thrown out for being too rude and radical right. What a national embarrassment. Even the nut jobs are embarrassed by her. She gets uglier by the day.

2 words: "Alternative facts".... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_facts which woman threatens you more, Hoss?

She'x sharp as a whip. How the hell did Haiti become the unfortunate stepsister of the Dominican Republic?

Major misinterpretation, of data, iDude We';re fearful that the minority MAGA's will revolt. In fact. we're positive that they're revolting. Is that trolling? sorry, it's how I feel. Rattle traps have always worked well for me. What would Jack Kemp say? Tim Russert? His dad? McDermott does not equal trump. buzzer.. But Allen can equal JFK n a football sense. Go Bills!

There is so much a man can tell you So much he can say You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me, you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny Won't you tell me, is that healthy, baby? [Pre-Chorus] But did you know that when it snows My eyes become large and The light that you shine can't be seen? [Chorus] Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey Ooh, the more I get of you, stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom A light hits the gloom on the grey

Yes, Kaitlin Collins is surely liberal. But I still like her.

I've got one pair of Maui Jim sunglasses, excellent. But if I'm anywhere near even waves, I'm wearing my freebie Tito's Vodka ones. Fell off my head on a fall yesterday but floated by the foam neck strap so good for another go.

Well...I see a really cheap inflatable on sale at "Big River" (Amazon) for $239. inflatable. Reviews say it works for yoga. I'd buy a car lighter electric pump too. Good idea? Also there are ones including a kayak seat. Is fishing a possibility? I'm thinking getting a 10 ft solid board in my car would be a PITA.

I just read the first bit but this seems true. Never been, don't know. "To be both Black and woman is to wake up every day in your body, where you are policed by your skin, by your gender, by your existence."
