And it was on this day, this hallowed day, we all, as a people, agreed to never again say the name Kim Davis, so she could slink back to her normal life, living in a candy cottage, cooking and eating children who took the wrong dark, crooked path through the woods.

Binging With Babish recently did a special about struggle meals and ended it by telling people to bake bread when you're down, because it's one of the most fundamental human skills there is and because even if you fuck up you almost always make something you can still be proud of, and he was right

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.
If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

What do you mean?? They literally just showed you for 40 days that they were willing to take tens of millions of Americans and their paychecks/food hostage specifically so that they *didn't* have to join you to address it. I feel like I'm going insane.
Shaheen on Fox & Friends: "I believe there are number of Republicans who are gonna join us in trying to address healthcare costs ... we are gonna be able to continue to right about healthcare because we're gonna have a vote in December."

Someone in the comments suggested using leftover stuffing in the waffle iron. I suggested adding honey baked ham and cheddar cheese to top it. Now I NEED a waffle maker. 🤣😝

So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.

If they are acting the way "bad faith leftists" assume they act, maybe the leftists were simply correct? In fact, if you look at the leftist sentiment on everything this past election cycle, they have the single most accurate track record of anyone else.
Maybe it's just salient analysis.

Just thinking again how Democrats asked people to accept short-term suffering in order to give space to prevent long-term, worse suffering and then said, "Thanks for suffering in the short-term. You'll get to suffer long-term too so that our Thanksgiving plans don't get disrupted."

Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
