I love how the photo with this review implies that the sweater is for her cat and he'll "grow into it".
Photo of a shorthaired ginger and white cat lying on top of a navy blue cardigan. Text says "This is very soft and well made. It runs large. I ordered a large for my son and it almost fits my 2xl hubby. That said, i love it and really wish I'd ordered a small or medium. I will keep the large because my son will grow into it eventually and he loves how soft it is."

There's a lot going on here, from the admission that the courts oppose their agenda to the plea for Trump to save them, and ending with the belief that there is any kind of mission/goal to the Iraq war that everyday people care about. Basically they're huffing their own farts.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.
