Nice. I've climbed Engineer Mountain twice. I saw snow up there on July 4th, 2016. Here's a view from the top

I always open the air nozzle above the seat. That is filtered air and it provides positive displacement.

Her controlling the social media and thereby directing international policy and diplomacy (Nevermind the 'exclusive access' grift going on in regards to Social Media) is honestly the biggest one in my mind. We've got an unelected hospice nurse shitposting international incidents at 1 in the morning

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

NYT article comment, Barbara, Canada "If anyone wanted to seriously damage their child's prospects for success as an independent individual - follow the advice in this article.  What masquerades as caring is CONTROL writ large and guaranteed to produce a dependent, insecure, self centered, entitled, individual.  Incapable of dealing with the vagaries of life."
