Don’t even want to think about what the curves would look like for the oil exporters not engulfed in wars, like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UEA, Kuwait, or Brunei.

    @89th said in McCarthy applies the Pelosi rule, AOC goes nuts: I am seeing more and more videos where people default to the "this is because of skin color" claim. I suppose @Horace 's noble efforts of identifying the dangers of such a narrative have not had an effect outside of TNCR. But truly, yesterday I watched a video of some (black) lady in canada in a post office going nuts because the (white) person behind her told her she can't package her parcel at the counter and needs to do that at home. The first lady calls the police and says she's being targeted because she's black. This is a good thing. When everything is racist...

    Vizine is not a moisturizer and contains a vasoconstrictor. The eye doc my wife worked for would not give it to his patients.

    It's not even April 1st. Remember that BoJo is a former editor of The Spectator. It's possible they're having a laugh, but I thought they were having a laugh when they suggested he could be PM.

    Hopefully they won’t disable it for read only applications like ours. Especially if it’s aimed at bots.

    @LuFins-Dad said in Happy Black History Month!: Nice to see LatinX back again. When, as predicted, "white" "White" Caucasian people become the minority in this country, will they get their own month/day?
