Biden cannot be rehabilitated. And these lil attempts at doing so are embarrassing for those trying to do so. Telling us he got mad with Netanyahu and almost cut him off is meant to do what? Sir! he more than aided the ongoing genocide. You should be ashamed by your efforts to suggest otherwise.

I wrote a thread earlier today (before even reading this story, actually) about how commonly the “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story are actually procedural distortions made by people in positions of power who are invested in disbelieving her:

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.

DA insists her "'statement described her participation in drug use & sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, &consensual.' Unless today’s undergrads make a habit of reporting consensual sex &drug use to campus police, the DA’s confidence on this point is confusing." www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

It’s good Dillenbeck did this event, but I’m not sure what the value is of saying 15 people have been put on leave and then claiming staffing is nearly in a crisis situation. 15 out of 2800 employees isn’t a significant amount. Is there a larger number on leave? cvillerightnow.com/news/208802-...

Use just the breast. Score. Dry rub for a few hours. And before grilling rub with little olive oil. Use indirect grilling and crisp up skin in the last minutes. No longer that 20 minutes total for medium rare. So good.

Ya’ll. Zaa’tar rubbed charcoal grilled duck breast is more than a vibe. It is smokey, tasty and full of flava! Sitting on a spicy fresh herb sauce. Served with mixed mushroom ficassee and roasted fingerlings. Lawd.

I bet this guy is on the wrong side. My brother in law was superintendent of a school system for years. Got along great with board. Suddenly the board turned on him & fired him. He went through mediation with them. They came to an agreement, part was not disparaging the other. Next day he read in

I told him about my one trip there in the 1990s. I tried to hand him a tip. He couldn’t take it, he said. Company policy. WHY!?!?
