Technically, Nixon resigned before being impeached, though the writing was on the wall. I wonder if he would have resigned if the Democrats didn't have a supermajority.

Remember, remember this fifth of November

The insurrection, incitement, and plot.

I see no reason

That Donald Trump's treason

Should ever be forgot.

It's got 250,000 miles and is $5,500. It's a former taxi service car, apparently. Obviously, a pre-purchase inspection would be a must. I've heard these cars are very reliable, but the mileage, accident history (3, not sure how serious), and potential status of the high voltage battery give me pause. I'm leaning against traveling to look at it, but I'm wondering if the model is just so good it's worth a try at that price point.

It would be replacing a 2015 Kia Soul with about 80,000 miles--Kia's engine woes have me spooked, so I'm considering trying to get something more likely to go for several hundred thousand miles. Any thoughts?

I, also, am hip and with it. Witness my funky fresh lingo and in-your-face attitude, home skillet.

Why couldn't we switch back to glass as our primary container material? Wasn't that always fully recyclable?

As a South Carolinian, I'm afraid for my mixed race family. I'm going to be getting my son a passport (my wife and I already have ours) and I'm seriously considering fleeing the country if the Confederacy rises again. I will not live in a nation where my wife and son may not be considered equal. I've lived here my whole life, and I used to think we were past all the racism and stuff like the Klan. The last 8 years have shown me how wrong I was. I've lost a lot of former friends to this, and I'm ready to go back to living somewhere I don't have to worry about basic human rights, democracy, and the basic decency of my neighbors.

I'm getting a lot of parts in languages I can't read. Can I filter for just my native language?
