I read it. Not well! But I read it :(

“Is [someone else] capable of solving this problem?”

Moving to a different country is fucking hard. Who does that? People who are smart and motivated, have vision and the ability to take risks and make sacrifices to achieve something. Sounds like someone you’d like to have on your team, right?

No, it isn’t because of a “leaky border.” That’s a convenient lie that helps to convince people like you to support brutalizing the powerless.

Taking care of yourself and your family is a priority. If you have the opportunity, go to some local Democratic Party events and make some friends that you can talk to. You aren’t alone!

Jorge, thanks for the story (and the link to the YouTube video). You say business interests are beginning to break for the resistance, and it sounds like the military is still supporting Ortega; are the courts or the press getting involved? Are there any other political power centers that might break away from Ortega?

I think it’s also important to remember that one dumb idea or statement doesn’t define the entirety of a person’s character. We’re all dumb sometimes, and maybe that moment isn’t their best look.

Public education needs to include 1)civics and 2)rhetoric. Start both in grade school.

Belgium would be a steep peak to climb, but if they keep their composure on defense the way they did against Germany it isn’t out of the question.

Overconfidence, lack of preparation and failure to adjust. I think Germany expected to be able to just shoot their way through with a high press, but Mexico’s speed on the flanks allowed them to sit really deep on defense while still having teeth on the counter.

“Spain giving up an all-time goal does not make them frauds...”

What little moral authority Evangelical Christians had has been thrown away in support of a lying narcissist who shares none of their values whatsoever. The Bible thumpers done fucked up.

Children in cages or rooms with no window,

I investigated my own drinking, and from what I can remember everything is fine!

The law isn’t what changed. They’ve chosen one narrow interpretation of laws that already existed as justification for why it’s ok to do something that wasn’t being done before. That’s policy. The president and his subordinates set policy.

That’s tasty, well played

Keep digging, or put down the shovel? *lights self on fire*

I drive a 2015 BRZ, and I use mine most of the time. My commute is in pretty heavy traffic so I’m doing a lot of swiveling around to watch lane changes etc (visibility is probably my biggest complaint about the brzzz, but that’s a different story), but if I’m just coasting along it’s comfortable. I don’t feel like my…

This is why we can’t have nice (Bible) things.
