My dog is now 13, her hips don't work so well anymore, and one of my biggest regrets in life was not letting her on the couch for 6 years of her life. I would buy a new couch every year if I could just get back the time we didn't spend cuddling on the couch.

"Snakes are so scary." Look at this little goofball. Does he look scary? With that little grin? Those big googly eyes? No. He's a cute little rat. Now, the floods driving all the snakes into the trees is what's scary though.

The new tariff costs will just, eventually, be the cost of things. Trump pouring rocket fuel on inflation because he's so rich, he'll never know the difference between a $5 carton of eggs and a $20 carton of eggs.

This argument is only appealing if you've never worked in a factory, had a parent work in a factory, or if you assume that you will be part of the wealthy elite who own the factories yourself.

I need really, really smart lawyers to also love the 8th amendment. It's a judicially-eroded bulwark meant to make it COSTLY to imprison people. It should be expensive to imprison people. Housing, food, and medicine. Otherwise just call prisons death camps.

My mom worked for a chicken processing plant on the factory floor. Sewer drains filled with feathers, blood, and shit would back up and occasionally flood the plant. Cockroaches and rats scurried the dark corners and under machines. And that was with regulations. These people are very stupid.
