The mental gymnastics to defend Trump are astonishing. But sure, Obama had classified documents (bullshit, btw). While Trump was in the White House and republicans held both chambers of Congress. Why wasn't this investigated? Was the T

The term RINO has a distinct fascist flavor and I would avoid using it. It pretty much dismisses any disagreement from the groupthink.

Probably (not a legal scholar) but I'm sure it applies to sitting presidents, not former presidents.

That's a false equivalence. The court mediates the case between private parties. That's what civil court does. This is not a trial between 'the people' (the State) and Alex Jones. It's between some of the parents of

It's funny because that's what I was intending. But then I realized I'm too lazy to mix stuff and just started vaping straight 6mg nicotine base.

This should be a non-issue right now. See the study is from 2015 and even before back then, the vaping 'community' was well aware of diacetyl and most if not all of eliquid companies have discontinued using it. Usually the flavors

Did they also ask the laborers from India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, etc.. how it's going in Dubai? Or they're not expats enough? More like.. migrant workers.

Technically (as far as I know) 'expat' was (supposed to be) used for people who were temporarily relocated to a different country. Even for a longer period. Think someone who's got a longer consulting contract and the big cor
