Locking in for oral arguments on the big voting rights case at the Supreme Court.

That’s the peculiar thing. When my Nats were actually competitive in the NL East the rivalry w the Braves & Mets was as intense as any but it was all on the field. I can’t recall any side needing to troll anyone. Kind of an “act like you’ve been there before” mentality.

Coal was destroyed by capitalism. Pure & simple. There’s no other answer. better, cheaper, cleaner forms of energy replaced it. It’s never, ever coming back.

Like Atari 2600s, VHS technology, carburetors and any number of other technologies that were popular in the 1980s but can no longer compete, it’s a waste of time and taxpayer resources to try and bring back coal. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.
