Question from an enthusiastic Aunt/mediocre stand-in parent to actual parents --

What percentage of the surface area of a house has to be covered in exploded Legos before it is acceptable to call in an air strike? 40%? 50?
Lesson here seems to be:
- all parents secretly hate Legos despite creativity they spark
- this is in no small part bc of obsessiveness they also spark, so god help you if you vacuum up the special midnight blue cylindrical widget piece without which the Lego X cannot be built!
Whoever it was who said it wasn't worth it to ask the kid to clean up the Legos was right.

Look at this generation of boys being taught that hate and disrespect are funny and cool.
Remember the awful speech POTUS gave to Boy Scouts? Seems like a million years ago now.
Meanwhile the man they were mocking with their meme-fed bigotry is an American veteran and patriot.

This video shows how readily the whole gang was engaging in this truly shameful behavior.

How much longer will this administration expect @chefjoseandres to pick up the slack?
I mean, I have nothing but glowing things to say about @chefjoseandres -- and my nephew did run across a Jaleo this week waving his underwear over his head and they didn't complain -- but when it's normal to expect a chef to provide consistent emergency services -- where are we?
This man is inspiring. Maybe he wants $1.6 billion to build something actually useful.

Nephew, arriving at sled park: "I'm going to go on that awesome jump!"

Random kid: "ok, but be ready to die!"

Niece: "my brother never dies!!"

Love the teamwork ❤️❤️
DC kids had an amazing snow day. But all around them were the parents talking about equity lines of credit, loans, mortgage payments, selling a car, and tuition payments who were damned glad to have a day of free fun for kids. Sled park talk amongst civil servants was bleak.
How many will leave and never go back -- on top of so many who have left, been pushed out? Is anyone keep a list of the gutted departments and agencies that need to be rebuilt under the next president? How can we possibly recruit that much expertise back into the government?

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈

Jimin wouldn’t allow himself to be trapped on his shift for any longer than necessary.

“Go, go,” Taehyung hurried, taking Jimin’s apron to let him slip out from behind the counter more quickly. Jimin decided he could get the grounds out from under his nails at home.
This morning had been absolute hell. Two girls ordered seven drinks, Jimin made them all only for them to say they were supposed to be with almond milk.

‘Oh I’m so sorry,’ was he all he had legally been allowed to say at the time, while his mind had far more colorful ideas.
With Jimin officially clocked out, he slumped on the customer side of the now empty service counter, looking to his friend with tired eyes.

“You wanna grab dinner later?”
“I can’t, remem—?
“Ah, right...”

Jimin’s disappointment vanished as Taehyung suddenly smiled to himself.

One year ago, @Reince tweeted that the GOP had “a revolutionary data program” resulting in them “carrying WI for first time in 30 years.”

Attached was this article that said these “Data Operations” helped Trump win WI & will used for the 2018 midterms.

👉host.madison.com/ct/news/local/…
Trump won* WI by just 22,748 votes.

200,000+ in WI were unable to vote in 2016.

Along with MI & PA, WI was one of the 3 swing states that gave* the EC to Trump by a scant 78,652 votes.

All 3 States were among the 39 states reported as hacked by Russia.

Exit polls are a scientifically proven litmus test. In 2016, they were off by as high as 10%

Anything above ~2.5% indicates suspect anomalies. It triggers other countries to nullify elections.

In the swing states of MI, PA, & WI—all were all above 3%.

It would seem to be a mistake to not have taken peoples' very real, practical concerns more seriously irishexaminer.com/ireland/trump-…
