Okay, but this actually happened and is well documented. The event is not under question.

Remember, it's only genocide if it's perpetrated by the West or capitalists.

Oh, Br’er Musk, I don’t care what you do with me, so long as you just don’t throw me in that briar patch over there.

Philip Wallach of the American Enterprise Institute called the visioning effort an “authoritarian fantasy.”

When the center-right is like "slow down, too far crazy right", you know it's bad.

What really kills me is how even people who don't particularly like him are backing him. My husband's uncle doesn't like the man, but in a discussion with me replied to the number of charges with "if that's not an abuse of power I don't know what is". It's like he hadn't even considered that Trump could well be guilty enough to warrant multiple indictments.

Regular intervals. Like, 10 days?

That's what I was think. Usually 90% of the books are, shall we say, there for a reason. But OP has seeded this library with some high quality material. Hopefully it stays that way!

check relevant state and local laws

Nice of them to include this. It varies so widely by state. If you're in San Francisco, you're going to be just fine. If you're out in the sticks in Texas, you might find yourself watching your back.

Not me, but family lore. When my parents had just started dating in their 20's, my mother was housed in "The Beaver Hut" with a bunch of people including her twin sister (my aunt). It was spaghetti night and they were making a homemade sauce. My aunt was putting in salt. Instead of a teaspoon, she put more like a quarter of a cup or more. Everyone else was going to fish it out, but she was like "nah, it'll be fine" and stirred it in.

Needless to say, it was not fine. It was so salty that everyone except my father refused to eat it.

Note: It might have been something else like pizza. With spaghetti, it you screwed up a sauce that much it's easy enough to make a substitute sauce from kitchen staples and odds and ends.

Oh, sure he did. Hand picked experts like John Eastman and Rudy Guiliani who tell him what he wants to hear. They are also known as "co-conspirators".

Gandhi was convicted for the oh-so-horrible statement:

How come all thieves have the name Modi?

This is a clear attempt to sweep aside a political rival by the ruling party. Hopefully this will be more than a temporary reprieve.

I mean... technically no one is missing. Just maybe in a different form.
