Just a bean who likes to follow folks who post pet photos, original art, and reliable journalism.
It's 6 million in the original German.

Replace "30 million illegal immigrants" with "6 million Jews" if you want to know what this sounded like to Germans 85 years ago.

They suspended me for telling someone in Pennsylvania to kill spotted lantern flies (an invasive bug that damages certain trees and crops).

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?

This is wrong. I get an MRI annually to screen for a type of cancer that a family member had so which I am high risk for.

And MRI centers offer total-body MRIs to screen for all kinds of stuff (although these are not typically medically indicated, they exist and are fairly popular).

Isn't this like his 10th "routine" exam since he rebook office? I know older people should have semi-annual checkups, but he's having them monthly.

I hope this means he's dying, naturally and painfully.

Childhood sexual abuse is almost always something that involves family members or close family friends. Elaborate trafficking operations like Epstein's are much rarer, but they are kin to the more common kind, and many of his victims had already suffered abuse at the hands of people close to them.

A guy who threw a sandwich is a hero and a symbol to us.

Simple actions and clear statements are needed. KBJ had a platform to offer that and squandered it.

I think he's overvaluing process and undervaluing public perception.

The public saw KBJ grant the stay, not any later arguments; just another Dem who didn't simply stand up to Trump.

In the end SCOTUS says Trump can keep starving people and there is no headline about any justice trying to stop it.

U.S. SUPREME COURT EXTENDS PAUSE ON JUDGE'S ORDER THAT REQUIRED TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO FULLY FUND FOOD AID FOR 42 MILLION AMERICANS THIS MONTH AMID FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

In this case, KBJ did the exact same thing first. We were told it was masterful strategy to speed up the payment of SNAP benefits.

I hope those dipshit pundits take a moment to reflect on the fact that it always helps Republicans to stay rulings against Trump. There's no secret strategy there.
