Husband. Dad. Journalist still. Sci-fi and fantasy fan. Opinionated as hell.
Fairytale of New York doesn't do anything gently.
It hits you over the head as it rumbles along.

This cannot be used to limit anyone’s running for Cngress or President.
The Constitution sets requirements for those offices.
You cannot change that without amending the Constitution.
Now, STATE laws can be written to define a qualified elector.

I'm not saying this was Schumer's long con?
But it's got to be the silver lining on the hurricane clouds.

At least it wasn’t,
“Charlie Kirk has died. We appreciate your attention to this matter.”

Hey, HuffPost. Not a fan, but she is from SC.
Get it right.

He is not activating state Guard units.
Those states’ governors are offering them.
Including my state’s “Gubnah.”

English can do wonders if you follow it.
"He" is a dangling pronoun. I think you mean "Trump" is rigging the next midterm. But Trump is not in the preceding paragraph as a noun.
The only noun that he can directly bounce off is "Newsom."
Please remove this post, rewrite to be more clear.

I know you people are loath to give any props to anyone in the MAGA movement, but props to Donald Jr. for admitting his father committed 34 crimes.

Posse commitatus makes it illegal for the U.S. Army to police the civilian population.
It is, sadly, quiet on the use of other branches of the military.
Now, sending in the Marines is an abberation of the Corps' usual missions. But it is pointedly pinpoint legal.

Still on the fairway, didn't make the green.

Why is it not pointed out? To those who don't know, the Declaration of Independence accuses King George's England of "through the mails and hired emissaries, (sending) seditious pamphlets and papers among us to stir up servile insurrection and bring blood and carnage to our firesides."

Detained by the Canadians? Or on the US side of the border?
Please write a concise summation.

For example, Americans are now building more roundabouts on their roads and more local highways, and are using the term almost exclusively.
But when the Guide was popular, we called them traffic circles.
That said, I wasn't even a driver when I first read it. But I GOT the joke.

I think I just said that there was no real problem "context switching," except for one joke that completely went over a bunch of Americans heads.
Given that Ford was a popular first name at the time for American males, that might be a difference. We weren't clued to read Ford as a car exclusively.

This is the ONE thing where Adams was wrong.
Americans can make assumptions about the pub and the pound and Basingstoke Roundabout.
But Ford Prefect? Absolutely flew over every American head so much that we didn't realize it was a joke at all.

Sigh.
And here I wasn't going to make any such posts on any platform, giving up negative social media for Lent.
