one of the few pics i have of dad in a legit grin. sigh.
this is a good one too. he's kind of smiling but you would kind of have to know him to know he's smiling.
almost all my family pics i have this idiotic joker grin on. rest of my family smiles normal. me: COME ON BATMAN, TAKE ME ON.

but really i smile a lot because i had a really good childhood. not perfect - nobody's is - but it was good despite my parents separating and all that.
now that ive lost him i wish i had more pics of dad. mom too. but im glad ive got these.

Ok so here's the deal: Because Trump ripped a bunch of kids away from their families our govt is being sued. We could be on the hook for $3 mill+ for each case. Biden is reportedly trying to negotiate that down. AND FOX/GOP ARE ATTACKING HIM FOR IT. americanindependent.com/fox-news-repub…
Trump screwed up, brought us intl shame and put us possibly on the hook for hundreds of millions. Biden is reportedly trying to get us off the hook for MILLIONS less and Kevin McCarthy, Fox, Dan Crenshaw are attacking Biden like he did it. americanindependent.com/fox-news-repub…
According to the report the Biden team is working on a deal that could be about $1 million per family that Trump TOOK KIDS AWAY FROM. If we follow GOP/Fox it could be more than $3 mill per family we have to pay out. americanindependent.com/fox-news-repub…

"While some have criticized southern Democrats for embracing racially charged rhetoric, its hard to deny the party's electoral success in both local and state elections that has occurred after passing poll taxes, poll tests, and in some areas, lynching." - how theyd cover it now
"Some people find the armed intimidation of black voters distasteful, but these Democrats in Alabama have a string of electoral successes that is hard to argue with. 'The lynch strategy works,' a local strategist told us. 'It's a perfect tool to get out the vote.'"
"Liberal Republicans and independents here in the deep south have criticized firebombing black churches and homes, but southern Democrats insist that they are merely out-organizing the opposition."

Detective Bongino, opened up the file on his laptop. There it was. Smoking gun evidence he'd been looking for.

He hit play.

"... so please vote for me," said Joe Biden.

Bongino nearly fell out of his chair. There it was. Biden was *asking* for votes.

A conspiracy so immense.
Joe Biden kept scanning the room, nervously looking around. Detective Bongino, swole as hell, pounded the table.

"Admit it! You asked for those votes! We have hours and hours of evidence of you asking people to" -- he could barely spit out -- "VOTE FOR YOU."
Biden then smiled. He leaned into Bongino. He lowered his voice to an evil whisper.

"Yeah, Danny. I asked for dem votes. And I'll do it again. I'm part of the Democrat Syndicate and we're asking fer votes all over dis country. And you can't stop us."

"My God."

nearly every day youngkin is on fox pushing the crt line. fox is a key part of every republican's media strategy. and acting like its just some twitter thing is really wrong n weird.
it boggles my mind on a near-daily basis how so many people can purport to report on the republican party at both a local, state, and national level and act like right wing media, esp fox, is not a key element in this. it is as vital to the party as gotv efforts.
to their credit, republicans are not hiding this. this isn't a secret strategy. its right out in the open. they constantly do fox hits. they tweet fox clips. they parrot the language of fox. id argue they pay way more attention to the ebbs and flows of fox than rnc messaging.

i dont know what hornet's nest i hit but the very interesting replies here are imo Good Friday Content on the topic of 80s-90s pizza. well done everyone. something that doesnt suck today.
the collective intelligence seems to agree we got peak pizza because of the pizza hut reading program, tmnt, pizza delivery schemes and some combination thereof. also chuck e cheese.
also i need to make it clear. this couch covered in plastic was NOT MY MOM'S. she would never do this. this was from a relative's house and i needed to illustrate me at 12-13ish. i will not slander my late mother.
