Logic and consistency don't figure in Rapey's mind, just rhetoric and feels. He loves power; Putin is in power and is the boss of a corrupt state, so he admires Putin. Navalny is oppressed, but still admired and loved, and Rapey feels oppressed by the lawsuits and criminal charges against him, so he compares himself to that as well, never mind that Navalny was never in power.

Hard to say for sure, but the lady sounds like a true believer.

And some dingaling supporter has started a GoFundMe to help out the poor guy hit by this very unfair and unjust fine

I have a new laptop that was complaining that I'd had it plugged in too long. Apparently there's a battery management setting that will have it charge to 80% max. I've used laptops exclusively for like 15 years and this is the first one to complain about being plugged in constantly.

I think this is the purpose of appointing a receiver for the Trump org. They would be authorized to sell assets to pay fines if needed.

I'd forgotten that quote. 🤮

If a 1 year old got pregnant, I think you should be more concerned about arresting whoever TF impregnated a 1 year old, rather than whether it's a crime for the 1 year old to have an abortion.

Do these people even remotely understand that the younger a pregnant person is, actually makes an abortion more necessary? Beyond the health demands of pregnancy and childbirth on a young person, do they really want 10 and 12 year olds, or even younger, being mothers? (Don't bother answering; I can guess.)

I've been bitten by bad return policies when buying from businesses that sell directly, e.g. being refunded the purchase price but not their shipping, having to pay return shipping myself, or getting hit by some bogus restocking fee. Amazon return policy is pretty clear for items they're selling or at least stocking in their warehouse. So I do prefer to buy Amazon-shipped items.

I've reported it once. I was emailed about 8 times from different email addresses with very similar text asking me to take down a bad review and they would refund me. A lot of asking for sympathy, we're very small and a bad review is so devastating, blah blah. All the refund offers were a little more than what I paid.

After 3 requests I replied with something akin to, "okay, you say you're trying to improve your product. I want something that works. How about instead of a refund, you send me an improved item, and if it works I'll give a good review." And they said they couldn't. (Of course not, they're just retailing stuff from some factory and they have zero say in development.)

I didn't reply, and over the next few weeks I got the rest of the emails from them. So I reported it, sent Amazon screenshots and such. I haven't looked but I assume they were given the heave ho. They probably just renamed themselves and restarted. But they didn't email me again.

I've gotten cards that offer a free product for a good review, and cards that offer a gift card, but not an actual refund. I've been offered refunds to take down my bad reviews.

And I wish the media would stop treating him like he is, too. I actually occasionally see him referred to as "President" not "former President".

What is this garbage talk about God controlling whether a woman gets pregnant or not? It's a biological function, if the egg is there when the sperm is there, you get babies. It is not some holy blessed event -- God causing babies is about as sensible as the stork bringing them.

This ought to be #92 but probably won't be.

Greyhound is less than $200 from Eagle Pass to the NY Port Authority.

Who says we're not? Sunday night, stormy weather, not much else to do

The double chin was showing up even then.

The header photo here has a similar vibe to the fat Elvis.

I can kinda see some resemblance between Fat Elvis and younger/80s Trump.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I want them to send texts. I don't want unnecessary messages on my mobile phone, since it's with me all the time, where I feel more compelled to look at it. I would rather they send a voicemail to my landline and I can listen to the message when I feel like it. Most of the time I'm working on my computer and I can hear the voicemail being recorded in the background, and that's all I need. By using the landline I'm offloading relatively unimportant stuff away from the more distracting device, the mobile.

They go to the landline which I ignore most all the time. Plus I don't get 1-10 calls a day. If I did. I would definitely want to not be bothered by them coming in on my mobile.

Personally I want fewer text messages coming up on my mobile. I give a lot of places the landline number precisely to avoid them.
