It’s like being tricked into serving as a before/after example for a lecture you never signed up for.

IMO Juno’s parents are under appreciated characters, I thought Bateman was awful on 1st, & other viewings, the parents were quirky, and thoughtful, like the parents you’d choose if you could.

Reducing reliance on fossil fuels, particularly petroleum, & going all in on renewable energy from sustainable sources is not only good for the environment, it's better for national security. The dotard curtailed renewable energy, and started a war to show off his administration's stupidity.

One of Vivek Ramaswamy’s closest allies is at the center of all this:

These violent men are raised by violent fathers, and often their mothers approve of the violence.

All Noem has is taxpayer money, intense hatred towards people, and animals, and too many guns.

If we repurpose one of the ICE detention centers we'll be able to keep all of them in one place, and treat them like Noem does the current detainees....

It's not an accusation - it's a fact. Your tendency towaards fascist appeasement is disturbing.

Noem is only capable of grift, and cruelty. She needs to be removed from her position, tried for crimes against humanity (and animals too), the then locked up for a good, long time.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

Not only is this incredibly useful for diagnostics, it also makes diagnostics kind of aesthetically interesting. If I were being scanned with a tool like this I'd want to be watching along with the doctor. (says the patient, who under local anesthetic, wanted to watch her carpal tunnel surgery...)

Sometimes it’s easier to implement environmentally sound policies (renewable energy, public transport, sustainable development) by focusing on the economic benefits first
