I read that as legos the first time. Thought it was a odd trend.

Look for lesser known attractions and walk the streets at random if the crowds at the more famous tourist sites get oppressive. In summer the famous destinations are ruined by their own popularity.

My debut novel, The Auglaize Conspiracy, came out last week. Shines light on a little-known time and place in Colonial American history.

I suspect that more taxpayer money will be spent cleaning up after DOGE than any imagined savings.

My dog would still eat it.

And if buying the cookies costs less than making them, why don't bakeries reduce cost by buying their cookies from other bakeries rather than making their own...😆

And as a student I seldom missed class or handed anything in late. Pure subconscious guilt.

I have a recurring dream that it is the end of the semester and I've missed most sessions of a class and forgotten to do any of the assignments.
And I finished grad school 24 years ago.

It's a "man bites dog" story. Pundits are bored with Trump's corruption, so they look for something different.

Trump was going to pardon who he wants to regardless of what Biden did. He already has said as much.

Presidential pardons are part of the rule of law. You are suggesting that only GOP presidents can use this part of the Constitution.

They seem to think that Trump will not act in his own self interest unless Biden gives him a precedent. Where have they been for the last 8 years? Trump does not care about precedents. He does what he wants.

I guess the question is: can there be such a thing as a social media site that represents, in a civil way, the diversity of opinions held by all Americans? Old Twitter tried to be that, but failed. Hateful voices became the loudest. But I like to hear honest opinions from people I disagree with.
