You want to know how you undermine Democratic progress and resistance to fascism? This is how.
Dick Cheney was not a "devoted public servant". He was an opportunistic schemer, power junkie, and war criminal who actively advocated the erosion of civil rights in the name of "security". Do better.

My local grocery has been inundated with blood oranges lately. I usually make marmalade, but these have thick peel like navel oranges. So I juiced them and made jelly with Armageddon peppers (habanero/ghost cross). Lovely aromatics, bright flavor, perfect heat. 🍽 #canning #foodsky

Let's talk about how broken this thinking is.
Raising the prices of imports has no impact on income tax, and makes consumers poorer.
As for the jobs being created: even if these plants and factories really are "currently being built", work in them is 2+ years away. Americans are losing money NOW.

Today's loaf brought to you by The Perfect Loaf and my Aldi bread oven, perhaps the best thing I ever queued up outside a grocery store at 8am to spend $30 on.

I don't care if Monday's stale,
Tuesday, Wednesday, starter's frail,
Thursday's feed comes to a head,
Fridays I make bread.

Faux forgets to mention that Trump advanced to the Championship Round at /his own golf course/, making the achievement as meaningful as being born on third base, having Willie Mays pinch-hit for you, having Usain Bolt run the bases, and claiming you got a grand slam.

Really happy with this one. Finally cracked the bake time and temperature to get good rise without scorching the bottom. And the crumb's not half bad either. #breadsky #sourdough #baking
