Notice the absence of the traditional olive branch? The olive branch symbolized America prioritizing peace with war as a last resort. It has been part of the Great Seal of the United States since 1782 and was part of the original seal of the Department of Defense.

It was so wrong of her to do, she's spent how many years in jail, atoned in words, suffered through a near death & recovery. He still wants her dead clearly, and he thinks she should get extra cruelty in the next attempt to kill her too. Grotesque. What was so wrong of HER to do, he wants in full.

In announcing her decision, U.S. District Judge April Perry quoted both Spider-Man and the 7th Circuit. 7th Circuit: "The greater the power that defies the law, the less tolerant the court can be of defiance." Spider-Man: "With great power comes great responsibility."

No. Federal appropriations law has long barred using taxpayer funds for political advertising.

U.S. manufacturing jobs are down under Trump, including in the auto industry. His strategy failed, and so will this. Lowering standards will accelerate what he has already been doing: handing the clean tech future to China and forcing Americans to pay more at the pump.

If you are overwhelmed by all the cruelty and tempted into hopelessness, you are a good person and on the right side of history. Those in power want nothing more than to steal your hope and drive you into apathy. Keeping your empathy and hope alive is an act of resistance.

My neighbors gave a gift bag of snacks and goodies for Christmas, I folded the bag up and put it on top of the holiday stuff tub without actually tucking it in there. 8 months later, cleaning, I grabbed it to do it right, heard a rattle, there was a diamond ring on the bottom. She glowed with joy!

Sure, the top 1% owns about 1/3 of all of the net wealth in the country (and far more than they did in 1990), but I’ll bet you never considered how grievously oppressed you are by the 1% at the BOTTOM of the socio-economic ladder! Some typically mind bending insights from the OR GOP here.

Everyone loves to rage about the top 1%. They have the money, the houses, the influence. Fair enough.
But on a day-to-day basis, the people most actively making life more expensive and less livable for regular working people are the bottom 1%.

Religious nationalism looks like seeing a person from another country with their nation's flag, holding their religion's scriptures, and a gun and calling them a terrorist, yet when you turn and see a person from your own religion and country doing the exact same thing, you call them a patriot.
