I got mine with Flint, got a two today, but don't expect another 1.

They may be surprised to encounter that penalty, but you would never notice.

Sound like premeditation given he is not taking into account any context.

Mighty impressive. I'm sure this post will inspire others to reach that goal.

I doubt every military vehicle will be driven by a Maga voter. Probably 5% Maga, 25% GOP, 30% Dem, and 40% unaligned or floating.

Newsom should call in the NG himself, and get them protecting the North of the state from those pesky Oregonians.

All he has to do is find 20 candidates with more experience and education in that area. Otherwise he is dumbing down the usefulness of the board.
Now it's entirely possible that candidate list fall foul of the reasons he is giving for replacing existing members, but there may be a reason for that.

Greta should turn herself in, stand trial in the Hague, and call Benjamin as a prosecution witness. Then wait for him to turn up.

I'd expect someone in his position to regularly check in on the infection disease ward. Ask the patients how they are feeling, ask if they have been vaccinated, and how they think they caught their illness.

Just make sure his epitaph records his deeds. And specifically a reasoned calculation of the death toll.

Golf courses need a visit, several hundred people on the green expresses an opinion.

Everybody lives somewhere, and everyone has neighbors. Putting a sign on your lawn saying 'my neighbor works for ICE' is not a crime.

I seem to remember that one Chinese guy managed to hold up a column of tanks, if only for a short period. And he did so with two plastic bags of shopping in his hands.

I'm a bloke, under-tall for my weight by about 2 foot 7 inches. Considering trying to shed a few, but also considering making some flapjack. You only live one life, live it.

When he nominates their replacements, get their alma maters to withdraw the qualifications.

Zero the death counter, and wait. Sad but it's metrics that prove case.

There was a time when a gallon of Old Brewery Bitter was my choice. Not for long, and back when I had a working liver, but I do remember those times fondly.

She should introduce a lower tax rate at the bottom end, and two at the higher end. The higher two should be for those earning 5 times average, and 10 times average. That should sit well with all but about 1% of the population.

Charles the first would be a good role model, he seems to be going down that line. Many similarities; fake hair, over estimates his control, did not read the room, enjoyed bling. Just wait for the likely outcome.

Sounds like you need a national curriculum, with a compulsory history section.

Took me 20 years to get a waxwing tick. Every time I turned up they'd moved on.

Let the fact that you had them in your life console you a little. It's never easy, and I'm sure the local animal sanctuary is due a visit would love to see you.

Breaking the UK into smaller units does not improve the global standing of the constituent parts. United we stand, divided we fall.

As the tanks pass they should focus their gun, not fire, just maintain focus. It would prove how accurate they are if they are needed.

Why can't we have more tax bands ? The current system mimics the class system. We need a tax banding system that has status with being in a higher band.
Lower tax rates at the bottom end offset by reduced benefits.
Only 1000 should pay the top rate, the rest of us could do better.

Find a way to take money out of politics.
Donald was right when he said there is a need to drain the swamp. He failed to do so, big surprise, but on that topic, he was 100% bang on.
No pressure groups, no gerrymandering, no back handers.

Currently at 152/95, sat on the sofa. I'll look for 5 hours, but I'm not sure there are enough gaps in the TV schedule to allow for that.

With paintball guns, stacked with a glittered version of Donald Orange. Since he likes YMCA he would appreciate the twist.

FYI, over here in the UK a full tank gives you little change from £60, which is close to $80. And that's for a small car with 500 mile range @ 45mpg (uk gallon)
You are still on the cheap side of things.
