I thought the same for me with creationist "literature". I could easily make a nice sum with it, but my conscience is the problem.

 

You should write one under a pseudonym, while also writing a book to counter it. Publish the first one and take all the money from the suckers, then release the 2nd one under your own name that reveals your authorship, refutes and exposes all the lies. Donate some $$$ to charity.

 

Is it just me, or are Melanie imitators more realistic than she herself? Sort of like how Dana Carvey captured Bush Sr to such an extent that when Bush spoke, it was disorienting that he didn’t sound like Carvey.

For people not from the South…Appalachia has been Republican territory since Republicans were formed. I mean, there’s a reason West Virginia, the quintessential Appalachian state, seceded from Virginia during the Civil War. So in the areas of NC impacted by Helene, they were traditionally Republican forever, PLUS, old timey Dixiecrats are all now Republican too.

The one lady on Colbert's show is just too close. She has embodied Melania completely.

 

This is fantastic from a woman I’d literally never heard of a few days ago. It’s the kind of “back to basics”, unsavvy question that the NYT would never in a million years think to ask. It’s a good starting point for talking about the reality of abortion laws, as lived by women. That’s a different thing, a vastly more important thing, than asking insidery tactical based questions.

That’s exactly whom I was thinking of.

 

Proper use of whom. +2
Ending a sentence in a preposition. -1

 

Owls always get it right!

 

Where do we think he said that? Galveston, maybe? Or Lawn Guyland? Or Key Largo?

That's not a rule of English, and I will place a proposition at the end of any sentence I care to.

 

Whenever somebody complains about about a final preposition I just tag a “,asshole” to the end of the sentence. Problem solved!

 

Mission: Accomplished.

 

I just bought a 500ml bottle of olive oil but it wouldn't fit in my cabinet. But I did find a place to stick it into, asshole.

Ok, checks out.

 

When one ends a sentence with a preposition, there’s a chance the object of the preposition might be unclear. That’s how I apply the rule; just make sure the object is clear.

 

Or is it the LeBron James of community notes? Discuss.

In my glee to your response, I failed to point out that you should have left out the article “a” altogether, or at least replaced it with an “an.” For goodness sakes! We used to have standards.

Oh boy. They're going to guarantee Trump gets the 4 electoral votes he was already going to get.

 

Maybe Fred fed him paint chips

 

Just a tiny bit....

 

“As the coronavirus tore through the world in 2020, and the United States and other countries confronted a shortage of tests designed to detect the illness, then-President Donald Trump secretly sent coveted tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his personal use,” the Washington Post reports.

“Putin, petrified of the virus, accepted the supplies but took pains to prevent political fallout — not for him, but for his American counterpart. He cautioned Trump not to reveal that he had dispatched the scarce medical equipment to Moscow, according to a new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward.”

Putin, according to the book, told Trump: “I don’t want you to tell anybody because people will get mad at you, not me.”
