Agreed. Part of why the Civil War retains its ‘cultural cachet’ in so many parts of the country is how it divided families. That ‘intimate division’ tended to manifest as letting the treasonous losers have their way as much as possible so that the *sigh* former slaves wouldn’t run around ‘too freely’. And yes, I’m…

I think it’s due to so little of the Federal budget getting allocated to the parts of the government responsible for investigating and enforcing the law, particularly against “citizen” corporations. How much money does the IRS have to spare for investigations? Yes, the FBI is supposedly designed for investigating…

Heh... I’m of the opinion that those ‘genetic tests’ which have been so popular over the last few years would prove to be highly embarrassing to a rather wide swathe of Republicans, in that case.

The fundamental weakness of the ‘rugged individualism’ is right there in the name: individual. The ‘one good man’ storyline has infected them to the point that even a ‘well-organized militia’ is functionally impossible to maintain; none of the “2-A” crowd are really able to surrender their ‘FREE-DUHMZ’ in the name of…

Oh, I’m well aware. It’s mostly a matter of the alt-right being completely blinded by their own delusions about ‘leftists’ amounting to nothing but ‘weak-sauce soy-boys who can’t take a punch’, right alongside the ones about their hilarious ‘urban warrior’ cosplays, to the point that altogether too many of them…

Speaking for myself, I sincerely hope for a ‘variety pack’ that includes a single can of each flavor; preferably keeping the ‘diet/sugar-free’ versions well-separated from the REAL stuff.

Re: Bluetooth Tooth - I would submit that having a way to communicate wirelessly without carrying a smartphone or laptop is at least one selling point. Some sales-pitch environments claim that their presentations are copyrighted (i.e., chock-ful of legally-actionable lies or distortions, but ONLY if the accurate…

Now, now. Brutal violence is more a right-wing thing, along with self-indulgent criminal activity. There’s a reason why there are so many more Republicans arrested and convicted for fraud, bribery, and other criminal activities than Democrats; the GOP culture tends to foster a ‘me first’ attitude from the outset.

And with that kind of recommendation, I’ve done the same. THANK YOU!

It’s a great idea, and I sincerely hope that it builds into something that completely takes the place of whatever idiocy currently claims to be “America’s Women’s Professional Soccer League”. My question at this stage is wondering what happens to the women who join this team. Can they play for the ‘major’ American…

I live in rural South Texas. While she who married me spoke of going vegetarian in her high-school days when she lived in ‘these parts’, the major barriers remain affordability and availability. Sure, we can buy vegetables and meatless ‘stuff’ from our local grocery stores (tofu, tofu-dogs, oat/ almond/ soy/ etc/…

All right, could we get any kind of legal opinion on the situation?

Ain’t gonna happen. Unless and until the data, up-to-date and verified for accuracy, gets leaked, the public will never know how much this jerk makes.

I would submit for purposes of discussion that “higher salaries mean less immediate profit while paving the way for vastly increased profits later on.” This is a very hard sell for American investors who apparently think that ‘long-term investments’ refer to ones that pay dividends on cycles measured in calendar…

To say nothing of legible handwriting. And I, myself, speak as someone already known to have rather ‘challenging’ penmanship unless I take pain (and time) to block-print with clarity.

But only effective when the staffers can ‘break away’ from their in-person duties to answer the phone when the place is still running, or when the management thinks to update the answering-machine with a suitable “We’re closed” message.

Me, too, but rather, “Test my patience by remaining on hold for more than three cycles of ten rings then an automatic hang-up because the staffers can’t or won’t answer the friggin’ phone.”

Heh. It would be really interesting to try an extended ‘guard-lowering’ exercise with him; “Ah, very well, do you prefer lagers or ales? What are your thoughts on gruits? Have you ever been tempted to try your hand at home-brewing?”

Well, I figure nobody’s working for the GOP unless they’re either zealots or grifters at this point. The grifters finagled all the money, and the GOP “officials” clearly have no compunction about ripping off the stupid zealots, so... *shrug*.

Heh. Y’ain’t seen NOTHIN’ yet.
