I think so too!

Rola Makki, the Lebanese American, Muslim vice chair for outreach of the Michigan Republican Party, shrugged off the criticism. "I don't think everyone's going to be happy with every appointment Trump makes, but the outcome is what matters," she said. "I do know that Trump wants peace, and what people need to realize is that there's 50,000 dead Palestinians and 3,000 dead Lebanese, and that's happened during the current administration."

And trump will let Netanyahu wipe all the Palestinians off the map and murder even more Lebanese. I hope it's all worth it to you.

New Jersey is in one of the worst droughts of the last 120 years. I'm not sure how many wildfires they've been fighting recently (it's a lot); I know there have been over 200 brushfires in New York City in just the past couple weeks.

What's scary is this 2016 column from Rolling Stone, titled Will America’s Worst Wildfire Disaster Happen in New Jersey?:

[...] the single most destructive blaze in U.S. history could occur in the Northeast [...] The Pine Barrens is the lone island of contiguous forest [between Richmond and Boston] [covering a 1.1-million-acre tract in southern New Jersey].

Whereas regular fires used to thin out the Pinelands, large swaths have remained relatively untouched for decades due to strict preservation laws. The result is a giant tinderbox of untended woods that’s surrounded by 100,000-person suburbs. A Wildfire Risk Assessment published by New Jersey compared the Pinelands to “an inch of gasoline covering all of south and central New Jersey.”

In other words, they're going to confirm him. :(

The attorneys invoked a New York rule that allows attorneys to withdraw when a “client insists upon taking action with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement” or when a client “insists upon presenting a claim or defense that is not warranted under existing law and cannot be supported by good faith argument,” or when “the client fails to cooperate in the representation or otherwise renders the representation unreasonably difficult for the lawyer to carry out employment effectively."

Translation: they're afraid of sanctions or even being disbarred if they continue working with the man publicly flouting court orders.

”Mr Trump doesn’t have to help me get out of this,” he said as he stepped into a car. “All Mr Trump has to do is straighten out the legal system, and you’ll find out who the real criminals are.”

This was a civil case, there's nothing to overturn. And you lost it by default because you couldn't be arsed to show up in court.

Can you pick it up and deliver it to the new office in person?

But you don't eat her food, why should she want to?

Just because you changed the clocks back doesn't mean that time actually changed.

But that doesn't mean you're allowed to close the door! You know that, right?

Thank you so much, I'm gonna make that this weekend!

The original is in the Smithsonian, so I doubt it.
