They should be banned.
Are you saying that air and water traverse national borders without permission?

Because this would be about the time some Greg Abbott encourages Texans to take over with a solution like *shooting* the air or the water.

The latter but in reverse. Singapore is one of the easier vacation spots on this side of the world, so I've been alternating between it and Kuala Lumpur for my weekend getaways.

I mean, in fairness, one of us is clearly going to write the Fogbow answer to Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians" series someday, and whoever it may be is going to need some material to work with, so maybe we should have a plan. (I note, in full disclosure, I started rereading the Kwan books ...

Madison Cawthorn RWNJ in the House

I read an article about it as well. The young woman interviewed agreed that there had been a standing ovation at the end and that about 10 to 15 women remained seated, staring at each other incredulous. She said it was painful to be told that everything she had worked for all those years in college...

I wonder what Alito would have done had there not been a violent insurrection on the sixth. I mean, it sounds like the violence was what caused enough of a delay that there was even a chance of him ruling, as I understand the story. Without the violence, there would have been a quick certification....

I don't think Texas allows recall of state-level officials, so it'd have to be impeachment, right? Good luck on that in Texas. :shrug: I mean, I feel for the family, but I can't see any universe in which Abbott gets impeached on this as grounds.

It was a weird triangle. I’m sure Biden knows how to do the actual sign. Which is not a triangle.
