Inconvenient way of editing which proves that one should not juggle proofing and interacting with one's kids at the same time.

or they could show some signs of trying for statehood for DC and PR.
They don't seem to be bothered tho.

I’m fascinated by the 3% of Democrats who think he did nothing wrong.

Dear God, when do these people actually do any work…my pronouns are he and him, sometimes scouser and often non repeatable…I’m wearing black trousers and a dark shirt, my hair is grey and could do with a haircut…

Wonder if the SCOTUS decision on abortion has had any effect on this?

I think it's a combination of Roe v Wade and the GOP's continued backing of this utterly ridiculous buffoon in the wake of the Jan 6 hearings. I mean the evidence is overwhelming and the GOP is trying to sweep it under the rug. Most normal people look at that and say, clearly, if you think that way you're unfit for office

It looks like she's working to me. You may not like what she's saying, but by definition, she is definitely working and not on the golf course somewhere

You didn’t tell me your pronouns, nor what you are wearing, or the colour of your hair….

I would if addressing everyone including the blind community.

I guess it depends on how you define work. Work has a purpose with a goal of accomplishing something. What I saw was a show of like minded people having a conversation for the press so they can appear sympathetic. There was no set objective as far as I can tell and as a result no outcome of what comes next or what they’re actually going to do about the issue they’re discussing. What is the takeaway besides that they’ll have more conversation? It’s actually how I imagine most government meetings go where people just talk, talk, talk and nothing actually comes from it. That’s not work in my book.

WTF does this even mean?

What is the point of telling a blind person what colour dress/suit they are wearing. I’m sorry but these fads of trying to out do everyone else to demonstrate how politically and socially ’right on’ someone is, is just pure heart on sleeve posturing. But I’ll leave it there……

Oh

Heavens, why would visually impaired people want to be able picture the person they're talking to?

Have you asked a visually impaired person about this?
