Um, but the dude’s gay, right? This conversation is kinda like beard squared.

There are some ways that you just won’t save money - period. They think that they’re saving money doing this but they’re going to spend money based on how this affects people who are in prison. Spend now, spend later (maybe even more $$$ later) you’re not going to save money doing this.

Welcome to Weimarica.

Came here to mention this, Ronald Reagan’s team tried to use this if I remember right and were told, uh, no.

(Not) Paul McCartney killed him.

What really saddens me is that it died because it wasn’t evil enough.

We just came up with a reboot trilogy with better legs than a lot of what Hollywood has churned out of late.

You just wrote the reboot of “9 to 5.”

He clearly didn’t do his due diligence before calling her, she’s about as left of center as one can get.

I’m a peacenik who has read a ton of Cold War history. Once this starts it doesn’t end well. And the government plans for what to do ‘’after’’ are essentially theater. No one wins, everyone loses.

Just a reminder that sports builds character.

Should be “Trump winery exploits vulnerable foreign workers instead of paying a decent wage for their jobs.”

Mr Gore, tear. down. this. wall.

Perhaps the Weimarican branch of a newly reborn White Rose group.
