Imagine getting mad at your neighbors for having too many kids and thus "taking" the housing that rightfully belongs to your kid.

Try the consonant strategy (“strap”, “march”, “smart”). You get fewer green/yellow letters, but you narrow it down fast.

It's a shame there had to be so much fascism along the way, but I'm sure we'll look back in a few months and have a good laugh about it.

Defense is now questioning Lairmore on cross-examination. They show a video still of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground, post-throw.
"Do you recognize that sandwich?" the attorney asks.
Lairmore won't confirm.
"I did not go back to collect it," he says.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

We need to bring back the norm that you don't screenshot X posts to dunk on them. Been a resurgence of that lately. If I wanted to see stupid X posts, I'd go read them on X.

"'SNAP', it's such a funny word, 'SNAP'. Nobody was talking about 'SNAP' before me. Now every day it's 'Mr. President, can you please save SNAP.' Reminds me of that old-fashioned word 'grocery', we made that word, 'grocery', nobody was saying 'grocery' before me, and Biden was horrible for 'grocery'
