Here's the animated one; here's the Lego one. And the first one on this page is (afaik) their most recent.

Again: if trump never raped her, and he's promising revenge on the people who trafficked her and who did rape her? After years of no justice, no peace, she sees this as a possibility and she grabs it with both hands. Just like someone with cancer and no hope left from traditional medicine might go into alternative treatments, just for the chance - I can see her doing that.

I hope he saw that animated "explanation" video Iran did (not the Lego one, the shorter animated one) because, while it's probably too complicated for him to understand, that's the closest "briefing" I've ever seen to his level of stupidity.

I'll get downvotes for this, but this is one case where I can understand her position. She was trafficked, raped and traumatized as a kid, was likely fed drugs as a kid as well. She's lived with that trauma her entire life, spoken up and was dismissed, and she's still angry, frustrated, terrified and traumatized.

And no one does anything. For years, for decades, no one does anything.

And trump comes along and says he'll prosecute the people on the list. Maybe she thinks he's not on the list, maybe she knows he is but if he's not the one who raped her she doesn't cares, she just wants everyone else taken down.

No one else is promising to go after the Epstein list, but trump is. And she's hoping that if she can see some justice get done, that she'll finally be able to put some of her trauma behind her.

She's not racist, she's not a brainwashed Fox News addict, she doesn't want to 'stick it to the libs'. She is legitimately a one-issue voter. She just wants free of her pain, and she casts the one vote that's promising her that.

This is the one vote that I don't think is LAMF material, it's just a tragedy for this poor woman.

You can go the the Energy Star website for mini-fridges (that link is sorted by most efficient first). Then filter by whatever size fits your space best, preferred manufacturers, etc.

The White House said ICE officers have been handing out water to travelers waiting in long security lines and offered to hold spots for those who need to step out of line temporarily.

Most lines I've been in, you can ask the people behind you to hold your space, we don't need special people for that.

Otoh, I'd rather they be water-handlers and line-sitters instead of out there murdering people, so ...

Trump suggested Wednesday he could deploy National Guard members to airports experiencing long wait times to assist as well. However, it’s unclear what role they could play in alleviating congestion due to understaffed TSA agents.

They could hand out water to people standing in long lines, and ...

Ngl, I'm vaguely curious what they'd be saying in the "Love and Mass Migration" article. Like, is it okay to import a citizenship-seeking tradwife from another country if none of the libgirls in the States want you?

Aside from what everyone else's already mentioned, there's the whole hassle of setting up a new device - debloating, tweaking the settings, etc. Why go through the pain of adjusting to a new device when the old one works just fine?

This woman had a family plot, where other members of her family were buried, and she wanted to be buried next to them.

My family has a plot. When I die, I'd like to be buried next to my parents and siblings, not somewhere else. When I visit my family in cemeteries, it's much easier for me when they're all together instead of spread out around the place. (Have you ever tried visiting in a cemetery - it can be surprisingly hard to find people!)

And finally, we paid for that particular piece of land, sometimes for a particular reason - a nearby tree or creek, for example, may drive up the price of a plot. Why should we be switched to a different plot that we didn't choose?

Malone claimed on social media that [HHS] had disbanded [the vaccine advisory board] and planned to completely reconstitute it. But soon after, Malone retracted his claim, saying it was a miscommunication and that disbanding ACIP was merely one of the “options being considered.” [A] HHS spokesperson [...] then released a statement to media pointing to Malone’s retraction and adding, “Unless officially announced by us, any assertions about what we are doing next is baseless speculation.” Malone [said] that Nixon’s response was what led to his departure. “After Andrew trashing me with the press, I am done with the CDC and ACIP,” Malone said in a text message Tuesday morning. “That was the last straw.”

Sounds like he thought he could say anything and that it would magically happen, and he didn't like being called out on his bullshit.

“Suffice to say I do not like drama, and have better things to do,” he added. [...] “Hundreds of hours of uncompensated labor, incredible hate from many quarters, hostile press, internal bickering, weaponized leaking, sabotage—I have better things to do,” he said.

I'm delighted that he should go off and pursue these "better things", lol.

This happens more often than we know about, though it's still a pretty rare occurrence.

I'm ... actually a little disappointed? This sounds interesting and I'm looking forward to it, but I was really hoping he'd follow through on The Chronicles of Amber series.
