its crazy to me bc his bronzer application is so bad! he's got a loving circle face! why is a mask rubbing the edges his breaking point??? his perception of what looks good and doesn't is so loving warped

anyone who actually enjoys makeup gets incredibly upset at seeing trump. the assault on drag artists started in 2016, with his election.

I wonder if he’s going to make his own prison bronzer out of M&M candy coatings like the ladies from Orange is the New Black.

My wife spent last week in Disney with three friends, and two of them tested positive for Covid immediately after they got back.

She and I have felt sick all week, but we've tested three times (also had to pay out of pocket for new tests) and have been negative each time. So here's hoping we're fine and didn't get some new strain the tests don't pick up or something.

But I didn't know they were going to start sending out new tests. That's great: https://www.covid.gov/tests

In a normal world Ron would be treated like the scumbag criminal failed governor he is. Just outright refusing to treat a public health crisis because smoothbrains have been poisoned by lies is inexcusable.

Oh drat I didn't know about the free tests either, that rules. It's loving bullshit that insurance won't reimburse them anymore. My whole family recently had covid and a family of 4 can burn hundreds of dollars on tests if you are trying to be cautious. I assume most just yolo it since who has several hundred bucks to drop on tests, especially if you're already missing work cause you're sick

During said infection I got sick and tested positive immediately, but it took the rest of the family like a week to finally pop positive despite feeling lovely. Covid is very weird. Hope you feel better soon :respek: The new variant sucks rear end, I was in bed for several days even fully vaxxed

On tuesday I went from "mccarthy isn't going to lose the gavel" to "lol he's utterly hosed" in the space of 2 hours. He's a dead man walking at this point. I don't see how he retains the speakership. His only way out right now is through the Democrats and he's going to get utterly blasted if he even tries.

They're intentionally mixing up gender with biological sex (which is also wrong, as you mentioned, because intersex humans exist).

But the answer to your question is:

"*waves hands* I'm not talking about THOSE PEOPLE because there's so few of them to matter. I'm talking about the millions of kids being groomed to identify as toasters!

This is a question I've had since I was in school that never got adequately answered. What is a whip and what do thdy do? I get that they're the assistant party leader essentially, but what do they actually do?

Because it seems to me like it's a person whose job is to be on friendly enough terms with everyone, or at least have the backing of a large enough group of randos with agendas, such that he can go around and ensure the un/official leaders of these little subgroups - "freedom caucus", whatever drinking clubs and golf teams clump together, etc - are more or less coerced or convinced to try to round up their own subordinates. Essentially, a henchman who ensures the subordinates keep their own henchmen in line, which is done by just.... Chatting, being friends, maintaining intra-party bonds and poo poo. Being charismatic enough to make MTG, Gaetz and Cletus Q. Nobody (R-KY) want to show up and do the thing before going back to kicking other kids in the sandbox.

Am I in the neighborhood? Or is there a more legalistic or professional capacity here that I'm not seeing?
