It's also insane to use an apostrophe for a contraction in that spot. So by doing that, he shows us exactly who he's.

He got arrested for leaving the podium and walking (peacefully) towards the dais where council members were seated. It was a peaceful protest, but intended to bring about his detainment. A lot of how this is portrayed is that he was arrested simply for expressing a viewpoint. That's not accurate.

"historically, what Trump brings to America is actually a return to the norm."

That's unfair. He is also busy telling Elon Musk to just do whatever the f*** he wants. That takes up a lot of time.

I imagine a sardonic mechanic with a cigarette dangling from the side of his mouth, looking at this car and saying to its owner, "See, there's your problem right there."

Did this policy come from a Kristi Noem/RFK Jr. brainstorming session?

But it also helps to think in these terms because that's what makes the broader concerns relatable and it gives concrete examples of what we're fighting for.

If I book a trip, will the park even be open to hikers by the time I go? Will it even still be federal land or will it have been sold for forestry or mining purposes?
These are small, personal concerns when pitted against the existential and constitutional crises America now faces.

will park rangers even be able to monitor trails and keep them relatively safe and well-maintained? I have a Garmin device to use in case of an emergency in remote areas, but who is going to even be able to come and help?

They are also quite remote. Sometimes the trailhead itself takes a few hours to reach by car from the nearest town, and then it's five to ten miles from there to the parts of the hike or climb where the risk of injury is the highest.
So the question becomes, with these hiring freezes and firings,

Which means that instead of attempting 2-4 hikes per year, I may only have vacation time to try 1-2. That's also less money spent on tourism.
For the latter of these kinds of hikes, the trailheads and peaks are mostly on land that is part of the federal park system.

For all of these, I will need to fly to a city near the trailhead or drive for at least two days to get there. With the restructuring of the FAA under the guy whose space rockets frequently undergo rapid, unscheduled disassembly, I have serious concerns about whether to even get in an airplane.

I'm at 31 so far, and the remaining high points are either in southern states like Louisiana or Florida where the minimal elevation gain makes them practically wheelchair accessible, or in western, remote mountain regions with significant elevation gain and even technical challenges.

They could have just migrated to a different country; I mean staying right next to Russia for that long is pretty much the same as asking to be invaded.

We disagree on Biden's fitness and probably agree on most other topics of this conversation.
comment in response to
post
His debate performance was historically awful. But he literally did everything rhe media asked after that yo demonstrate his cognitive fitness and the coverage remained the same while glossing over Trump's clearer decline.

And at least we voted for Harris in the primary. An open convention, whatever means, wasn't in the DNC rules. It would have been chaos. And if my vote had been stolen completely by a forced resignation of both Biden and Harris, I wouldn't have voted for a single Dem on election day.

Pelosi and Democratic leadership failed us by not circling the wagons and instead forcing Biden aside. Although the energy around Kamala was genuinely exciting and I can't say Biden would have done better in November.

Since the first time he was elected. There was a four-year gap where embarrassment became nervous trepidation, but that has passed.

And if we're going to call it the Presidential fitness test, the President should be able to do it.

I'd also be in favor of a straight-up skills competition. Nifty dunks and trick shots and passes. Heck, bring in street ball players for these or add trampolines. Get weird. Give me some basketball I can't see any other time of year.

I can't stand the NBA Cup, but at least it does make players compete more. Why not scrap the ASG entirely and do a week or so of NBA Cup games, all scrimmages?

At the very least, Google Maps should delineate the aquatic border between the US and other nations, and label the American side of the waters as the Gulf of America, and all other waters as the Gulf of Mexico.
