"The trees were the worst loss and damage, for at Sharkey’s bidding they had been cut down recklessly far and wide over the Shire; and Sam grieved over this more than anything else.

The "Rasslin" Lady assures us today that funding for schools will now be handled by other agencies. What does this mean? It means that purchase will need to be requisitioned and re-ordered through the other agencies which will have no idea what they are doing. In the meantime the funds will not be saved but simply stagnated for probably a year. Businesses will go under and thousands of people will lose jobs while the money sits in limbo, creating an artificial "budget surplus" for which Trump will claim a huge victory. Stupid voters will believe him.
When the government entity that manages federal buildings ordered agencies to drop a long-standing clause from new contracts, it prompted some concern that the Trump administration was trying to legalize segregation.
The clause, banned by the General Services Administration last month, prohibits maintaining or using segregated facilities. It made explicit what the Civil Rights Act of 1964 already outlaws — discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex and other identity traits.
Dropping that language in the contracts doesn’t change the fact that segregation is illegal in the United States. But the directive is still symbolic, legal experts say.
Does my fervent desire for Elon's face to slough off in a weird rejection of some smrt booster drug make me a bad person? Yes, yes it does. Slough, face, slough.
Welp, fast approaching my last Pepsi. My last 12-pack of Mt. Dew is next. Then it's Screw Pepsi and drink Dasani. And maybe Mello Yello. But not Coke. Ugh.
...what, did you think I was gonna take an automatic rifle to 'em when I paid for 'em before the boycott?
Dasani (/dəˈsɑːni/) is a brand of bottled water created by the Coca-Cola Company, launched in 1999. It is one of many brands of Coca-Cola bottled water sold around the world.
Correct. Mello Yello is also a Coca Cola product. What is meant was that I won’t be drinking Coke, or Diet Coke, or Cherry Coke or any of the Coke sequels. I’m just not fond of the taste.
When I was teaching in Hell, aka SW AZ, I went to convenience stores to get a 2/$2 deal on liter bottles of Dasani*--a better deal than the grocery stores. A bottle got me through a day of teaching in that heat.
* - Heroic Son says there's no difference in how different brands of water taste. He's wrong, of course.
We should probably be thankful he’s not having the already-planted ones chopped down, like some demento George Washington.
I've posted this before, but...

It's time to go all Mount Doom on these assholes.
Fuckin' techno clueless dicks.

Well done, sir.

Crap like this can not bring about a surplus. Just sayin'.
He must be dragged out in handcuffs. This bullshit must stop.
This sounds like a good, positive program. No wonder they had to destroy it.
I hate this regime with fire of a billion suns. They’re awful monsters deliberately destroying everything good for nothing.
No they are doing it to satisfy the black hole that is PABs soul.
This is really starting to seem like we have Cthulhu in the White House.
As a teenager I helped my dad plant thousands of seedlings. It is now a fifty year old forest.
What does it feel like to know that millions of people hate you to the point of *redacted*?
Pussy Ass BITCH knows....

Did y'all know that Orange boy brought back segregation on federal contracts? Back in February. No one was reporting this.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd certainly cheer at his rapid unscheduled disassembly.
His brains are already doing that.
Sports are the next DEI.
I'd love for professional sports to go back to mediocre white guys trying to replicate what's happened since 1966.
They don’t want us to have urban forests or public land forests.
Public land clearcuts are OK, tho. What, you do not like open spaces? By the way, here is your rake.
Somebody had to be the one who read that as pubic lands, but I am not admitting to that.
Lots of wild growth.
Or ANY Commons / nice things / places
The movie is over if you'd like to join us there for OT.
We've been keeping ourselves entertained over here.
And we were keeping ourselves entertained over there. Now let's come together like the Beatles sang and we can entertain ourselves together.
Thank you for the earworm… I think…

The Land of the great Circle K~!!!!
Yeah he is~!~
Mrs. Hero got her daily 64-oz supply of Diet Dr Pepper (or, as I call it, Vile Brew) at the Circle K before she went off to teach.
