First, I didn’t say it came to a dead stop before it dropped. I think the impalement killed its momentum. Second, fast probably wasn’t the right word, but she hit the gas hard enough to climb that bollard. I was thinking she just plowed into it, but she might’ve backed into it slowly, got stopped, didn’t know why, then pressed down harder on the gas. That would explain the minimal impact.
No, that bollard didn’t budge. She backed into it fast enough to shoot the SUV straight up the bollard, it clears the bumper, and BAM! — the SUV dropped down on the bollard. That bumper should have crumpled, but it was rugged and rounded enough to deflect the impact downward or, equal and opposite reaction, send the vehicle upward. Traffic bollards are still tough enough to stand up to SUVs, but not tall enough to be seen by the drivers.
Looks like Lindsey doesn’t shop at Trader Joe’s.
Do you think postal carriers work for free? Salaries, vehicle maintenance, keeping the lights on, etc, these are all real expenses.
He didn’t appoint himself to the job.
The key difference is the USPS is self-funded, so it does need to cover costs and maintain a reserve to cover downturns, which it could do by expanding into basic banking services, like check cashing, if DeJoy was not tasked with grinding the service down.
Well, he wasn’t all wrong.
“Investigators believed the couple avoided seeking medical attention to prevent law enforcement from coming to their home.” — Which was the actual problem, not the smoothies.
Again. He may lose again. He lost the popular vote twice. He will definitely lose it a third time, and he may lose the election again. “Again” needs to be emphasized because he’s going to keep trying and we must make sure he loses again.
Democrats support their own party leaders and vice versa. Republicans condemn their past leaders and support only Trump.
Yes, he said we wouldn’t believe the evidence his investigators found, when there was clearly no evidence or investigators.
“In ordinary life, if somebody consistently exaggerates or lies to you, you soon discount everything they say.” — Sadly, this part has been solidly disproven.
GWB is getting a boost from Liz Cheney and the other never-Trumpers because people buy into “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” mentality literally. They’re allies against a common foe, but they’re still vile, and the person who can remind us of that is Tim Walz
Walz took students to a campaign rally for then-President George W. Bush and watched as they were questioned by security because one had a John Kerry sticker on their wallet. After that, Walz volunteered for Kerry, retired from the National Guard after 24 years when Bush launched his illegal war, and beat the GOP incumbent for his seat. This one story told me everything I needed to know about Walz’s political origin and path, and reminds me that GWB deserves no fond nostalgia.
I remember when Al Gore was the climate VP.
That dog looks miserable af.
Yeah, it’s a side issue, but what else is Don-old supposed to talk about? How he made Mexico pay for his big, beautiful wall?
Adjectives are not nouns.
Ugh. Up until he chose Palin, I would’ve been fine with McCain winning. I was for Obama, not against McCain, and then he went and f***ed it all up.
The President’s Daily Brief is a document. Most presidents would read it and call meetings as needed. Bush 43 was the only President who needed it explained to him daily. There’s no reason to skip it.
I don’t see why I should be downgraded for not enjoying all the main movies when not all of them were enjoyable.
