    Or you could hold their children hostage.

    The thing is, they are holding our grandchildren hostage.

    Just a short comment ...

    In the old days, we had a two-tiered justice system. The rich received one level of justice, the poor received another, harsher justice.

    Then, that changed. We still have a two-tiered system, but now it runs along political lines.

    Maybe the Epstein case is a return to the former system...

    Honestly, I'd like the Whig party to come back.

    It's not a whig, it's a fucking comb-over, OK?

    I don't understand folks who hike for the views, either. Like the meme implies, it's barely a part of the whole experience.

    Days after the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos, the former congressman has already taken up a side gig recording personalized videos for a fee on the Cameo website. One of his first customers, it seems, was Fetterman, who then posted the video Santos recorded on Instagram.

    "I thought my ethically-challenged colleague @senatormenendez could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems," Fetterman said of the video he commissioned. "So, I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give 'Bobby from Jersey' some advice."

    (From what I heard, George Santos did not know it was specifically for Sen. Menendez and did not know if was from Sen. Fetterman. Also, I heard that Mr. Santos has made a TON of money doing these Cameo videos at USD$350 per video - like $250000 in the last couple of days)

    What would an acceptable rate of void ballots in an election? Is it zero? I think that would almost impossible to achieve. In this election, the amount of void ballots was 0.02%.

    Why didn't they just remove the 11 void ballots and then have new vote totals?

    @Axtremus That is an interesting article. Maybe closer to Johor Baru would have maybe allowed people to make an easy transit to Singapore.

    Another problem is that it is in a jungle climate. Without maintenance and usage regularly, everything will start to get overgrown.

    I sort of touched on this the other day - but with different players, perhaps.

    Speaking of repeating songs, how about Figgi Pudding, Partridge in a Pear Tree, and Feliz Navidad. Can't stand those songs.
