@FreddyLA7 You can skip Oktoberfest in Helen (trust me, my parents live 10 minutes from there). Wurstfest in New Braunfels TX might be a better option if you want a more authentic German American experience.
As a liberal, I do not understand the people who are living through this administration and saying "you know what we should do? Make it way easier for the federal government to do sweeping new changes on a whim"
I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:
- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.
- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parentsโ pool hall.
- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.
- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.
- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.
- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.
- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.
- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.
RIP to a self-made American original.
@antonyslumbers@JamesSurowiecki If you seriously believe that thinking appealing bad calls is good shows someone knows nothing about soccer, you're a complete idiot.
