So.... did the bear get off the boat or what? Don't leave me hanging here, need details. Was it wearing a little bear captain hat?

NPR seems to have just gone:”fuck it” at some point in the last six months, and don’t have any time for Trump’s nonsense anymore. They sort of present fact check as part of the news now, like they’ll say “President Trump said X today, which is false about Y, who never said what Trump said he did...in other news, a…

Exception, not the rule. Don’t be a pedantic twit. I want demonstrated ability and knowledge base over... some dude yelling on the internet.

If your job involves travel, and it’s your tenth rental in as many weeks it’s an easy mistake.
