@WolfofX My carrier is a woman just like that. A year or so ago, SHE went missing. Did she leave USPS? Assigned another route? Nobody knew. Six months later she was back. We all mobbed her hugging her. She had been mugged one block over and was home recovering after she left the hospital
People on the USA are so used to not getting anything out of their tax money besides war that when a mayor actually gives them fans on their subway, fixes trash cans, paves patholes, and provides services with their own tax dollars they call it communisim.
@tedlieu@ArriolaAnn Absolutely not. What a wonderful event for our country 250 should have been this summer, from tiny towns to our biggest cities, totally botched.
@RepThomasMassie@TPV_John Yes I count my blessings in the luck department every damned day. All those trips to the polls these past decades, and all I had to do was find a bloviating, venal, criminal nincompoop to vote for to change my luck! My bad!
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
Over 40 years ago when @ScottPelley was a local reporter at @wfaa in Dallas when he did groundbreaking special on AIDS. As an openly-gay anchor I anticipated this straight Texan would vilify gay people. Instead, he did a respectful, thorough & lifesaving program. #Respect!
I stood at this pool, at both monuments and saw both reflections…
He’s a God damn idiot, as are the fools that support him. The “Reflection Pool” wasn’t designed by American architect Henry Bacon a hundred years ago to look like a swimming pool. It’s designed to have a darkened characteristics that has reflective qualities to reflect the monuments.
That way, the Washington Monument is reflective to you when at the Lincoln Memorial, and when at the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial is reflective to you.
It’s designed to enhance the grandeur of monuments, create an illusion of reflection, and inclusion of expansive space of unity.
He’s a tacky vulgar person that vulgarizes everything he touches. America isn’t becoming great, it’s becoming vulgar.
