Sigh. It’s obvious what Trump was doing here.

He making a play to regain the childless cat lady vote.

It’s fine, she said in an interview afterwards that her next career move is fulfilling a lifetime ambition of joining the circus. So the spot is still open.

The contradictory examples listed above were quite complex cases from what I remember.

That said, as a teenager a friend of mine was beaten up in a police van in a case of mistaken identity. He was advised by his lawyer to drop the case as there was little chance of proving what happened as the police had smashed up his phone which he had been recording them with.

Yes, I agree, a terrible parenting strategy. Also fuck elf on the shelf, since the whole book is about how the elf is Santa’s spy and you can’t question or touch it. I’m pretty sure this is what gave her the awful idea.

A young girl makes a wish so powerful that it’s answered by a cosmic force, a little ball of boundless energy called Star. With Star’s help, the girl must save her kingdom and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.

The theme song to The Raccoons really is an 80s banger.
