Has anyone here ever done pet insurance? It seems like a crapshoot as to whether or not it's worth it.

That pretty much describes all insurance tbh. You don't need it until you need it.

Glad the pup is doing better my man. We are waiting in the airport to board the flight to NOLA and I am already missing my furry boys. :( They seem to know when you are leaving, they looked very down and sad this morning.

We have pet insurance on our dog. We haven't used it much aside from his yearly shots and medicine, but it's totally worth it imo. Plus we can get a bundle to add our two cats when we want.

people really need to let the "treason" thing go. it'll never happen for several reasons, one of which being the fact that we're not at war with Russia, and that's how judges have historically interpreted "enemies." you could probably whip up sedition or something, but treason isn't gonna fly in court

This is looking at history from the present. Read Fear and Loathing in '72 or something if you think journalism was widely trusted and the Republican party wasn't submissive to Nixon. Its impossible to judge the mechanizations of power from the present

I saw a couple of reporters go apoplectic over this primarily because of getting scooped. Can't find it, but one dude tweeted something like "I've been working on this for over a year...and he just tweets it out."

Yeah, this is a big thing people pass over. The fact that it is already this bad five months in is way more extreme than what happened with Watergate. A year into his second term and it was still just a "second rate burglary".

Like, I think it is extremely unlikely Trump will get impeached and removed from power.

However, I do think this is gonna invigorate the free press more and continue to damage the credibility of the far right on the national stage while acting as a big motivator for grass roots left wing engagement at the state level.

And I do not think you can call that nothing.
