Ya, how dare that person object to a politician they don't support using their likeness for promotional materials without their permission. What a lame and petty person.

I dunno, it's also free advertising. Is a glib Instagram comment necessary? Send a message to their media management. She makes herself look petty, because I guarantee someone on staff asked if they could use that picture, as all that poo poo is staged as hell and planned in advance. Yell at your staff member that didn't ask you first.

Not in this case. That photo is from Astro Coffee, but her social media people tagged the photo as Avalon Bakery.

Interestingly they have no problem using her image on their Instagram account.

However, these same people that backed those lawmakers also probably still want their gallons of raw milk to last a week.

Raw milk is perfectly fine as long as the supply chain is short and everything between you and the cow (including the cow) is as clean as possible. And by 'short', I mean you'd better be drinking it the same day it comes from the cow.

Don't respect John McCain. He flipped on every moderate stance he held prior to his 2008 run, and then he made Sarah Palin more than a footnote in Alaskan history. Nowadays he's just a known sellout trying to scrape together what's left of his legacy.

Hey at least McCain stood up for John Kerry when the republicans were on that "he's not really a vietnam vet, he actually a fraud" and basically told them to shut the gently caress up and sit the gently caress down because the bush campaign had tried the same poo poo with him previously.

edit:

haha, he also very pointedly made sure people were aware that in vietnam george bush was in the national guard in a champagne unit to avoid the draft and being sent overseas, lol.

And any time it isn't people get sick and children die.

But, mmm, tasty.

Hell, I had an uncle with a dairy farm when I was a kid and drank fresh milk every time we visited and loved it. But we would never take any home and got our milk from the milkman like sane people, because being able to have breakfast without worrying if it was going to loving kill us was more important than any half-imagined advantages in flavour.

From the article, because reading is fundamental:

the loving article posted:

The corresponding social media accounts for Wilson are all locked down and set to private. So it’s hard to tell if they were always private or (more than likely) she did so in response to online backlash. (FWIW: While not confirmed, Wilson does look like the woman posted to Clinton’s Instagram, and her profile photos feature her posing next to coffee equipment.)

It's her husband. It's her first ride after getting a driver's license. Driving instructors actually have brakes on their side specifically for cases like this.

When people confuse the gas pedal for the brake they quite often panic and try to brake harder which of course means that they just keep accelerating

At the very end of my driving test I parked and the instructor and I were about to get out when another person taking her test rear ended us in the parking lot. Her instructor got out, asked if we were ok, and then just bluntly looked at the horrified girl and said, "Well, you did really well up until you failed." I felt really bad for her.
