I’m down with local representation for cities/neighborhoods.

Just hoping that red chopper circling over Ferndale got my good side while it was taking everyone’s picture 😬

<—- blocked by a self-proclaimed bot just now. I’ll take the W.

What are they gonna do with those seats? I’m hoping for Nuremberg II, but so far I’ve seen at the state level more gun control measures, age verification for computer operating systems, insider trading in Congress, aisle crossing to support trumpers, more support for the surveillance state, etc.

Compliments to @cwebbonline.com - certainly there are committees or subcommittees in the Senate and House that should hold immediate investigations or hearings into this, right? Surely the Democrats can do more than try to retake power? Surely Republicans of good conscience (giggle) can do… Naah. 😑

One might consider the following: books, especially a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a writing guide (AP has one, not sure if White & Strunk is still current, etc.), and voila, words and sentences are made.

OCD me: cleans bathroom
Wife: “I just wanted you to clean the toilet.”

Dear DNC: save millions on bad consultants and drop these names. Every candidate listed is extremely pro-Israel, with deep AIPAC ties or records tied to Biden’s support for Netanyahu during Gaza. Centrists keep losing. 2 of the last 3 contests failed, and Biden barely won swing states. The base wants real action, not media-hyped platitudes. No surprise Bernie-style progressives are rising. Bernie was right all along! Dear DNC: save millions on bad consultants and drop these names.
