Yes!! And the climate scientists are concerned. Anyway, I took advantage of today's warm temp to clean up the garden and the yard. NOW I'm ready and hunkered down. :)
It also was a way to keep heads of agencies who had overlapping areas of responsibility fighting each other for the turf and currying the favor of Hitler in their disputes.That infighting also ensured they would not join forces against Hitler.
The fact that their “plan” from the start has been to find some path to get in front of the Supreme Court tells you that they know they can’t win a case based on the merits. Their whole assumption was that Trump’s appointees and the other conservatives would just ignore the law and the lack of facts in their favor and just hand the election over to him based on nothing but ideology. To them, it doesn’t matter that Rudy is a drunken fool, their “witnesses” are all batshit crazy, and they have zero evidence of fraud.
But even Fox couldn’t go along with that fantasy. They’d be happy to spin the story to favor Trump, but you can’t spin an empty wheel. Newsmax and OAN, on the other hand, are more than happy to give Trump and the MAGA cult the comfortable lies they depend on.
And they may be Fox’s undoing. What’s kept Fox on top of the ratings has been the fact that they were THE place to go for the rightwing spin on the news. If you were a wingnut, you watched Fox. No one else gave you the reinforcement you craved. Now they have serious contenders for the wingnut eyeballs.
A cashier at a pr0n emporium wrote a great essay in The Reader about her experience. One client stood out: a nondescript man would rent the occasional video and return in the time it took to watch the video and travel back. Every time. She used the term ‘polite fiction’ thus: “I went with the polite fiction that he was a graduate student who was doing research.” Ever since then, I have loved the term ‘polite fiction.’ It works beautifully, doesn’t it?
But true to the Viguerie model, less than 1 percent of the money that Chavez’s groups raised went to actual political activity. The rest went either back into further fundraising pitches or into salaries and perks for Chavez and her relatives. “I guess you could call it the family business,” Chavez told the Post. I guess you could.
As someone who worked in a video-rental store in the 90's, can confirm.

Can't say "conservative" without the "con"
We could try shooting its toes off to see if it flinches
For freedom

Well, if we’re being pedantic, I’ll refer you to my use of ‘pretty much’ as a qualifier.
I will, however, fully back you on the ‘like’/‘such as’ issue.
They also carry ads for catheters.
They overpaid.

It’s going to get ugly.

There’s a lot to unpack there, Professor!
Here’s an excerpt that jumped off the screen:

Thank you!
That's why, when I was a kid, I was dragged off to Sunday school, Church, Evening church services, and Wednesday Night Prayer Meetin'.
And these days there are far more religious schools.
Is that where Rudy first learned about the miracle of a penis pump? (Last seen trying to activate it in the Borat film).
Actually Ol Drudge has gone mainstream lately. The idiots at Breitbart, where I occasionally post just to pass some Corona time, now vilify Drudge.
It does. You can learn a lot about people from their taste in porn, human sexuality is fascinating.
