Dianne Feinstein is the more egregious example.

What happens is is that these congressman build a circle of aids who handle all the real work while they campaign. Those aids develop working relationships with other aids. The more senior, the more influence they have. It quickly gets to the point when the politician themselves are just a figurehead and the aids don’t want to start over with a new one, so they just wheel their host around.

Trump is well into the category where he’s just being lead around by his handlers.

I have a couple friend groups, so I’m safe, but two of them are terrible replying to messages or following up on commitments. I understand that people can be busy, but don’t say that you’ll be online later and then never show up. I’ve decided to refocus my attention on the friends who do reply to messages.

3. Wash your ass.

Brian would be proud to know he’s still bringing market value to someone.

Go back and make sure everyone involved in Teapot Dome scandal actually get arrested and charged.

Scott Adams as well.

I’m guessing you’ve never seen a car getting prepped for new paint then. The panels are sanded down and bare metal is showing. This is probably going to get painted this weekend. Not everyone has two cars, so they’re driving this around while in the mean time.

Looks like it’s in the middle of being repainted.

It sounds like you were being an ass for a while and you’re recent comments were the breaking point.

I’m a negative person, but I try to reign it when communicating with other people. When I do have to vent, I tend to get support because I’m not being an emotional vampire to those people.

I have some other people in my life who do nothing but complain and I keep them at an arms distance. I feel worse being around them. I do not care about their petty problems.

Context matters. “Male/female” is objectifying and can be used for “objects” like jobs. “Men/women” is more personal and should be used for people. The poster is using almost exclusively “male/female” even where “men/women” should be used, which leads to some clunkiness.

We always knew Disney animators were a bunch of furries.

I’ll take your work on Issaquah being affluent and blame it on that and LA is just LA.

Where in the US? It’s pretty common where I’m from to put shopping carts back in their corral.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you.

Hollywood can and does go younger. Do you think Epstein Island was the only place where the powerful pedophiles go? Laws don’t matter to these people.

Has anyone even accused DiCaprio of SA?

Leo’s relationships are also transactional and both parties understand that. He gets arm candy and the women get access to high level movie executives/producers.

Black people do not have the right to use slurs against other groups, White, Jewish or otherwise. They only really have a right to “their” slurs when the recipient is ok with it.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called out the general acceptance of antisemitism and double standard within the Black community a few years ago.

This person is just hateful and is using whatever justification they can to keep being hateful.

No. They were just drunks at the local bar, drinking themselves into an early grave. Or they joined the military to commit war crimes.
