All these police attacks on Pro-Palestine rallies are just bringing more attention that would have faded away.

And the unprovoked violent attacks will cause more people to start to question the Israel war and the US support of it. People will start to wonder why supporting normal Palestine people is an idea to attack peaceful rallies and to take away the right to protest.

If this only happens at work, then you can say, "Sorry, that's against my department's policy. We've had some incidents and my boss told us not to."

Well, that's gonna make Rafael Edward Cruz's daughter's school life even harder. She has come out as bi. https://www.sgn.org/story.php?312345

I'd prefer some other state to get it than Texas. If Texas is going to deny federal money for unemployment and for healthcare, then Texas doesn't deserve federal money for other good projects.

And this is coming from someone in Texas who would benefit from it.

Texas GOP governor Greg Abbott has told state employees to try to avoid federal money because it might come with strings that require treating non rich and non whites as human.

Remember when Greg Abbott had a tantrum and basically shut down the Texas-Mexico border to most road traffic and fucked over all the rest of the US who was depending on products to come from Mexico?

Let Texas feel what it would be like to secede.

Good!

Remember just a few years ago when the Republicans were crying about their vaccine status being a health issue and not wanting anyone to ask about it.

Guess Microsoft can buy me a new computer if they want me to use Windows 11.

So, in Germany, does anything happen to this Russia war enabler? Or is it like America where someone just screams "both sides" and "but his tan suit" and all courts and laws get disabled?

Gas stations dispensed both, like current gas and diesel.

You could also buy lead additives, more for an emergency situation than a permit solution.

Probably the politicians bought VPN stock just before this was ruled. Just like so many "randomly" happened to buy video conference stock just before the COVID lockdown?

I'm counting to 3.

Ukraine should only consider the comments of countries sending money and weapons.

When the US starts to send money again, then the US can comment.

Do you really? That's pretty understanding and nice.

Because many people can only feel good about themselves if they think they are above someone else.

I didn't know Matt Gaetz took a trip to Colombia.

I do the same to people who refuse to follow specifications they agreed to follow.

There is a slight satisfaction to get back at them for continually delivering much lower quality than is required.

But it really is to cover me. Because, it always happens, later in the future that edge case comes up, and everything breaks. And management is ready to blame me. But then I show them that I tested the edge case before the conclusion of the project. And that programmer ignored my emails, and that I told management these edge cases weren't covered. But then management signed off on calling it complete. And suddenly management is no longer red with fury. And they usually won't allow me time to fix it. So the can gets kicked down the road until the next time that edge case fails.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

So many stories of people needing their medicine, and going into spams, but the cops just say it is all fake and purposely ignore the person.

You washed your clothes a lot. And even worse for girls with long hair.

You would skip restaurants during busy times.

Sometimes you would carry an extra jacket in your car trunk to put on when going into a smokey place, so you could take it off and hopefully not have too much smoke smell on you if you weren't going to shower soon.

There was a 2% decrease over 4 years. 30% to 28%. Hardly "shriveling."

You'll be forced to use only Windows forever.

I'm only enough to remember when corporations were not people, and when the ultra wealthy paid taxes.

Wait, isn't this exactly what was done to the BLM Black Lives Matter supporter groups by anti-black people?

Remember how BLM rallies across the country kept finding pallets of bricks randomly on the streets?

For a movement that has no other organization, "somehow someone" organized to gather thousands of dollars per city to get pallets of bricks delivered to the middle of roads, and somehow police doing patrols the day before didn't question a random pallet of bricks in the street.

If there are too many patients, can that Texas politician's grandma give up her life for the economy?

(99% positive the politician was from Texas. Pretty this statement wasn't from Ted Cruz, but maybe. During COVID saying that grandmas in nursing homes would give up their life to open up lockdowns to restore the economy.)

But then Black people might vote. America still hasn't forgiven Black people for existing.

US Texas Governor Greg Abbott would like to block these videos from appearing in Texas unless a viewer sends over a copy of their state government documents. Texas Freedum!

Take a trip to the southern hemisphere and twists the same ankle there. Except the coriolis effect will twist it back into place.

Well, Americans think Jesus was white with blue eyes. So it was just being human.

I told him 120 options was enough, but he just had to keep adding options.

Assuming you are sincere. In the big Salt Lake City, natives are generally nice to tourists.

If you live there, you need to be white and be a devout Mormon. Getting married at 18. Having kids. Going to church. No caffeine. No drinking. Report everything and tithe heavily to the Mormon church. Give church elders a pass at anything criminal. Ignoring anyone who has left the faith.

I would like to see Trump talk about the 12% of fake voters that Russia has.
