I think it is funny that Epps only narrowly won over Aftyn in #Tennessee. Something is happening in that state.

I love how over the weekend Kegseth was drunk posting Franklin shooting the people in the boats, but by Monday they moved to blaming the Admiral, as if the drunk boasting never happened.

It’s a weird flex that on one hand folks say that Covid-19 deaths were a global hoax and can’t prove the deaths didn’t happen…
… same folks say “the jab” killed children, but have zero proof of the deaths, which vaccines, ages, or locations of these deaths
Maybe it’s not about science at all

I try to avoid binary thinking, but...
There are only two types of people in the world.
"I had to suffer, so should they."
Or "I had to suffer, and I will work to help others so they don't have to."

I don’t think you’ll get a more “on the nose” example of blowback than a guy from Afghanistan who America trained to go around executing civilians in something called a “zero squad” who later moves to America and attacks the American government. Like holy shit what the fuck are we doing here?

Hubby and I made it to and from Thanksgiving festivities. Morning drive was snow free. The evening drive home involved about 20 miles of white knuckle unable to see the road travel but after that was smooth sailing.

I, a white American, once tried to have a conversation about this family of problem with someone in the international development space born in a region with mixed-income megacities with severe water issues. It quickly became clear that it couldn't be discussed. It was literally unspeakable.
It really feels like it should be a bigger story that the President of Iran said that their capital must be moved because of environmental degradation, including water shortages and land subsidence of 1 foot per year.
