Probably not a great idea to wear gloves while using that machine.

There shouldn’t be billionaires, let alone billionaire preachers.

It’s not an apples to apples comparison. The fact is that many Amazon employees can make 25-50% more, with better work-life balance, better benefits, a less toxic environment, and the ability to work from home.

I feel like it would be more realistic to repeal the Apportionment Act of 1911. At the very least, it would correct the massive inequality in congressional apportionment. It would also increase the number of electors in the largest states, which would mostly benefit democrats.

Yes, it’s a reference to George Papadapolous, a national security adviser to Trump who had extensive contact with the Russians, including working on setting up meetings between Trump and Putin. He was then caught lying to the FBI about these contacts. When the news came out, Trump dismissed his one-time advisor as a “low-level coffee boy.”

Low-level coffee aide

Edit: If you missed the reference, read up on George Papadopolous.

As I remember it, this was after a rally that was billed as being the biggest ever, but in fact K-Pop fans figured out how to game the ticketing system, and as a result the rally was empty.

Don’t listen to those weak-kneed pencil-pushers, Mark! Stay in the race. You’re helping deliver the Governor’s mansion to Josh Stein and hopefully NC’s electoral votes to Harris-Walz!

My money’s on the classic “dead girl or live boy.”

As odious and obnoxious as Cruz is, let’s face it: he’s running for state-wide office in Texas. I don’t want him to, but he’s pretty likely to win.

LaCivita is probably looking at some internal polling for DJT that looks pretty terrible. He’s probably figuring that if he bails out now, he can avoid having a loss on his resume, and also gain a win.
