NB: If you should find yourself on the 'Circum Vesuviano' from Naples to Sorrento, you are looking for 'Ercolano.' The modern town is lovely & doesn't suffer the traffic like Pompeii. Although it's been decades since I visited (the currency then was lira π) certain it's quite worth an afternoon.

First, term limits. There are several ideas about this, but needs to be addressed. Second, expand the court. There are 13 federal courts of appeal, should have a SCJ for each. Third, confirmation of appointments should be by 2/3 majority in the Senate, not simple majority as it is now.

Ugh π€... Grassley is the senior United States senator from Iowa, serving since 1981. That's 44 fuckin' years!!!

My dad was an insatiable sci-fi and horror consumer. His taste in such was passed on to myself and some cousins. The more cheesy and low budget, the better! I had to go look this up, because the Salton Sea reference reminded me. If you can view it, it's horrible! π

The Monster That Challenged the World (1957):
This classic sci-fi horror film is about giant, prehistoric mollusks that are unleashed from the Salton Sea due to an underwater earthquake. The movie depicts the creatures attacking humans and the efforts of a naval officer and scientist to stop them.

Even more frank... protesting and even civil disobedience is good for a populace not happy with the regime, but if they don't actually vote, well then woe is us. And I don't mean just the US, I mean everyone who ever trusted, allied with, or thought we had something to offer. π

True. I'm thinking that across the US, as well as the international peeps, we should have anywhere from 3 to 5 million all tolled. Will depend on a lot of variables, like weather and the usual rabble-rousers.

Apparently, no matter where it fell, that apple rolled down a hill, into the sewer, got covered in shit, infected by all manner of disease, then crawled out and opened it's face hole and makes hateful noises to this day.

Of course the troglodyte from GA doesn't understand very much about anything, really.

Nice. It's been years and years since I've visited Mexico City. Beautiful architecture, super nice people, and great food. Also, Chapultepec Park may be one of the nicest green spaces of any metropolitan area, certainly in that huge city!

πΊπΈ SCOTUS has ruled that flag burning is a form of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. In Texas v. Johnson (1989), the Court, in a 5-4 decision, upheld the right to burn an American flag as a form of political protest. This decision made it legal to burn the flag in the United States. πΊπΈ

lol - First, I've not driven since 1979. Second, get a load of the source address. And third, the web site is a .cc domain.
I've received toll collection ones with a Philippines area code.
