It's possible I've just missed it but I don't think there's been a single person implicated in any of this that I've been surprised by? It's like "oh, that rich piece of shit is even more of a scumbag than I thought? Yeah, that tracks"

I can't help wondering if most of these even work for their intended purpose. Surely they need to look at least somewhat believably human to have a chance of fooling crows

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The Republicans prize the filibuster because it's an effective tool at frustrating and striking down any remotely progressive policy. The Democrats prize the filibuster because without the procedural buffer it provides they would have to go beyond proclaiming their values and actually act upon them.
It's so insane how scared of the filibuster being removed the Dems are lol. They do not fundamentally believe elections should change outcomes.

The 'lady' in 'ladybugs' refers to the Virgin Mary.
First of all, there are over 5,000 varieties of ladybugs.
However, the first type of these beetles to be called a 'ladybug' had 7 spots which were thought to symbolize the 7 sorrows she suffered.

7. When a ruling faction looks dead, is cold to the touch, is shut down and disconnected from the world in which living people exist, that probably means it is dead. Schumer, Jeffries and the whole zombie Democrat establishment need to stop haunting the living beings who want to take their place.

Our Little Free Thrift Store was reported to the county & we had to take it down. I built a shed kit instead & it was stolen immediately. I was almost ready to give up, but neighbors donated leftover lumber & helped with barn-raising for a new one!
