The passive tense is to be avoided whenever possible.

Impoverish. It’s the only way to keep it from happening again.

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Released in 1978 after Neil Diamond’s agent failed to come to an agreement with Lucas’s copyright lawyers and he had to rewrite the lyrics.

I was willing to be convinced with Gavin until the podcast.

Also that Vance couldn’t lead a squad of Marines to a keg of beer.

If you are driving, you’re required to show your license. (That’s ostensibly to prove you have the privilege to drive, not to ID you.)

And here I thought they moved to support the thriving musician/ dental floss industry.

Except in Europe, where they get the boot on the 3rd of September.

Fun False Fact: Nobody born in Irving, TX has been named Jenny since 1981.

Apparently only Congress has standing to bring a case.
Well, the DOJ, but they haven’t been an effective brake on the Executive since at least 2016.

This is a good point, but the conversation seems largely focused on Biden, not on wondering why Democratic Party leadership, consultants like Carville, and other fellow travelers haven’t been noisily fired.

If we ever have an independent DOJ again, investigating the accusers should be official policy.

If he’d started naming names, he’d still be talking.

Family Medicine docs have a higher administrative burden for about half the salary, and you don’t get to be the hero nearly as often as a specialist.

AFP Fact Check reports that experts say that 50 farmers are killed a year across all ethnicities in a country that sees 19,000 murders a year.
So, much like the canard about land confiscation, it’s a lie. OP might have jumped, but they landed on a correct conclusion.

It’s not safe for DOD to use it either. Why put a plane into service that almost certainly has more listening devices than avionics?

Letting a foreign nation build an office for your use where state secrets will definitely be discussed is also a violation of every principle of national security. It CAN NEVER be adequately swept.

Indistinguishable from the foreign terrorists we’ve been taught to fear and expect for the last 25 years.

No ID? No visible face? No warrant?
Presumptively foreign terrorists initiating a coordinated attack on US soil. Respond accordingly.

And without any press (or congressional) pushback, he’s free to start using a plane that almost certainly has more monitoring devices than it does avionics.

Hey, I’m a huge fan of world building and story, but I just thought three pages of wardrobe was a bit excessive. It felt less like setting a scene and more like a writer “just writing” until getting into the story again, and the fluff not being edited properly.

Six is okay, too. Just don’t let your kids try to work your notes into yet another book. That rarely works, and only for a tiny subset of your fans.

Nor does padding out your word count with 3000 words on what your characters are wearing when they come into a room.
I think that’s when I put WoT down the first time.

So making the bus in seconds flat will have to wait until next week, I assume.

There. Were. Only. Two. Godfather. Movies.

You’re wrong.
There were only two Godfather movies.

And then we named the airport after him.

“Don’t be evil.”
They abandoned that years ago, when the choice was between not being evil and not being billionaires.

Because someone believes that semantic tricks are going to sidestep the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico by renaming it.
That would be like saying that since Melanjia Knavs got married and changed her name, she didn’t actually work in the US without a visa.

Well, that and become useless as an on-the-ground news source for popular uprisings like in the Arab Spring.

He’d find some industrial valve on an oil pipeline, turn it for the photo op, and his fans would cheer all the louder and then call for literal blood when the next wildfire hits because clearly Gavin personally stole it all for his lawn as it went through Sacramento.

Labor camps. Slave labor is legal for the incarcerated.

His “thank you for securing our country’s future” comment after the “my heart goes out to you” line supports that conclusion.
And his stated support for AfD tells me that he’s less of an edgelord. Not enough people in the US are aware of German politics for that to make the desired edgy impact.

That’s the hardest-working “if” in media right now.

The ADL is wrong. I don’t doubt that Musk was very excited. But I’ve seen tons of people get very excited, and only Nazis made that gesture in their excitement.

Can’t someone tell him how weak and cowardly he’ll look and how small his crowd will be if he’s inside and wearing anything more than a suit and tie?

Was he in that movie? I couldn’t see him.

It should be framed differently: “Will you uphold the solemn oath you swore before God and your country, or will you be forsworn and damned to hell for all eternity for taking the Lord’s Name in vain?”

I mean, not before a Senate confirmation hearing.

It’s an odd sort of confession. Perhaps we need a breathalyzer on the Senate floor.

I’m less optimistic that the court would miss a chance to undo a perceived past mistake. After all, is it really a culture-war victory if there is still four generations of mixed-race marriages (and half a generation of same-sex marriage)?
