>She said it, so the others do not have to, and in exchange she will be owed something else from the others. That's possible. But it's also possible that she was the only one paid well en…

From what I understand, the bill was ready to go. Everyone had gotten their pork… especially Manchin. And it was Sinema who was the last hold out, and the biggest concession she wanted was this.

Full disclosure, I have a Rad Power bike (mini 4), among many other bikes. It has a 750w motor and accelerates really fast if you give it the beans. It’s a dangerous vehicle if you don’t keep your wit…

Kyrsten Sinema was bought and paid for by private equity special interests to prevent the Dems from raising taxes on their management fees… and they got exactly what they wanted.

I think it was Judd Apatow who said “You have to give yourself permission for the first draft to be shit.” The hardest part of making anything is getting to the minimal viable product. Editing and ref…

My least favorite thing about Uber is the cars with interiors that are absolutely coated with cleaners, conditioners, disinfectants, and perfumes. As a driver with experience cleaning a car after some…

I have often said that everyone hates lawyers… until they need one, and then they want the meanest SOB who ever practiced.

This is why I’ve avoided concentrates. I’ve tried (and enjoyed) them all, but I was already concerned that my tolerance to plain old weed was too high. I knew if I got too into wax and shatter, I’d en…
