Nancy Mace Doubles Down on Attack Comments Amid Handshake Claims

https://www.newsweek.com/nancy-mace-attack-latest-1999620

And guess who is defending her? Our old pal Fetterman. Remember after his stroke they wanted to kick him out but the people rallied to his defense? What a let down.

Healthcare industry in this country

Is modern day slavery. You are a human body that represents capital.

How bad would you feel if you caused another person's death

Let’s say you were at a party and you really really really wanted a particular brand of chocolate cake they only sell at this one bakery 10 miles away in town. You have been drinking and are way too drunk to drive. But your cousin has not been drinking and is completely sober. You really want this chocolate cake so you beg her to drive into town to get the cake. She doesn’t want to go. So you keep begging, you beg her for over an hour. She finally gives in and decides to go get the chocolate cake for you. On the way to the bakery an old man coming from the eye doctors accidentally veers into the lane your cousin is driving in and the two cars get into a head on collision killing your cousin instantly.

Your cousin would not be on that road unless you asked her to go to town for you. Would you feel guilty for her death? Would you feel responsible for her death?

'Hawk tuah girl' Haliey Welch's crypto launch draws scrutiny

It was a social media catchphrase, then a merchandising opportunity and, finally, a cryptocurrency.

Now, the social media sensation who lent her viral “hawk tuah” moment to a new digital coin is the face of the latest controversy centered around crypto and what some are calling an all-too-familiar racket meant to trick people out of their money.

My words:

Ahh yes, the internet darling and grandmother caretaker who is an expert in fellatio. Talk about grooming, the vultures were circling her waiting to pick every bone of this meme hostess. Hope she can do her podcast from a jail cell

Yellowing under eyes

I don’t really see it because the lighting in my house is low. But I’ve been traveling the past two months and in hotel bathrooms with bright lights I’ve noticed a slight yellowing under my eyes. Anybody experience this?

Rethinking the Jan. 6 pardons

That everybody expects. I think he might just pardon the insurrectionists that trespassed and didn’t commit any violent crime. I know the entire episode was violent. But if he pardons the ones that assaulted police officers, his fake facade of “law & order” will crumble on day one. Of course knowing what a POS he is he will probably pardon everybody and himself plant a memorial tree for Ashley Babbitt on Capitol Hill.

How far does society have to fall

Before the normal functions of the society disintegrate and civilization ceases to be? And what does that look like? Because it seems we are going down that path. It seems the only function of our current society is wealth extraction and nothing else. The USA really has no culture so to speak of. Every aspect is focused on consumerism.

For an assassin

That dude’s got a great smile. And also if people celebrate your death. You are not a good human. People celebrate Bin Laden’s death and Hitler’s death and Mussolini’s death. If you are a good and decent human, people won’t jump for joy when you die. It’s that simple.
