My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.

But that pathetic blog never ever ever brings up class inequalities. In doing so would expose the Democratic Party to which they are beholden. It will never happen under our current framework. Lawyers Guns and Money could never accurately address the class issues we have head on because to would ruin their whole Republicans-are-all-rednecks, tribal framework. The truth is the Republican rednecks and the white middle class white idiots like yourself are in the same boat - completely abused by the two party system which is owned and ruled by the 1%. <br /><br />Look at LGM right now. I don't even have to. - I will tell you what's there. Nothing about class and how the 1% is screwing the 99% and a bunch of posts about Trump and how bad Republicans are.

Democrats aren't? Of course Democrats are completely funded by corporations and banks and are completely beholden to them. That's why we have this new Gilded Age. That's why the Democrats who are in power will do nothing about it while getting stone cold rich. See Nancy Pelosi. It's true that Warren tried to address it and of course she got nowhere. It's true that Democrats will give it lip service when it comes time to get votes or have you idiots send them your money. But it is far beyond debating. There's no debate. You can flail around all you want with these tangential blog posts that kind of but don't really address the core issue of class inequity and the governmental powers from both parties that fully enable it. You can go ahead and do what you want. You can support Democrats because they make you feel that they are somehow less subservient to the rich and less corrupt than the Republicans. That doesn't change the facts that they aren't. They do not care at all about class. They can't because the corporations that buy the elections won't let them. Class is not included in common liberal discourse and blogs. Of course it isn't. It's stupid and insane for you to even attempt to claim it is. Have fun in fantasyland. Do whatever you want. The Democratic party and Democratic politicians will do nothing about the new Guilded Age in which we live ever in our lifetime or our grandchildren's lifetime. It will not happen ... that is so completely obvious. The apathy of the Democrats towards class issues is what got Trump elected. If you want to pretend like Democrats and liberal bloggers genuinely address the issues of class that we are facing head on, be my guest.

There were 3 on Talking Points Memo: (1) about Bernie hyping the reconciliation bill, (2) about evictions, (3) about corporations funding conservatives.

NO Republicans are doing anything about class injustice. Democrats are the only ones trying in any way to address class and they are doing so as much as they can, while still being able to get legislation passed.<br /><br />Dreamland! I don't believe I should abandon support for the only people trying to help, just because they cannot do everything at once, or don't meet your standards (whatever they are -- you haven't said). I support whoever gets us closer to my goals, even a little bit. Republicans are widening the gap, not closing it, but you want to excoriate Democrats because they fall short of your target? That's ludicrous. <br /><br />But you are obviously just a troll who is pretending to care about class in order to criticize the left.

Can they intelligently discuss the meaning—the size, the sweep, the extent—of "186,000 acres?"’<br /><br />Anyone who buys a home with a plot of land or just an empty plot of land knows that lots are described in terms of acres, not square miles. Go to any real estate website and look up ‘lots for sale’ or ‘land for sale.’ It is the standard way of selling lots in the US, so I would venture to guess that many do indeed have an idea what an acre is. mhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08937133532381705347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-89047642756693422112021-08-31T17:07:45.046-04:002021-08-31T17:07:45.046-04:004:11,
