Ok, so you are talking about Crimea, which I'm guessing we have different opinions about, right?
What is your view on this?
Go back through this thread. You'll see that I've consistently referred to Russia's actions of 2022 as an escalation of the war it began in 2014.
WHAT???? You are so Russophobic that I tend to glaze over your habit of blaming the Russians for everything. You are saying the Russians began the war in 2014? How?
By invading and occupying Ukrainian territory. Most people have no problem recognizing that as war.
The fact that many now turn to Facebook and other social media for their news is part of the problem. The erosion of the Fourth Estate proves its importance in keeping a democracy running.
In February of 2014, Crimea was the legitimate territory of Ukraine. And Russia invaded and occupied it. It also sent troops into eastern Ukraine to stoke an insurgency.
You're free to explain why you feel Russia was justified in going to war against Ukraine, but let's be clear that this is what you're doing.
I'll rephrase and try again. If the problem on May 23, 2024 is a deluded electorate, how and why was the electorate apparently non-deluded in 2020-21, and what was the inflection point?
Racking my brain for inflection points in 2020. All I can come up with are a pandemic and the murder of a Black man by a white Minneapolis police officer.
Queen size sheets can come in different sizes. Some queen size mattresses are extra long (California) size and require California-size sheets. Others may be designed for a thinner or thicker mattress. What did it say on the queen size sheet set you bought regarding measurements of the flat sheet in the set? Did you look to see if other sets were longer or wider (depending on where you need the extra fabric)?
Hi, Joan,
I've bought queen sets from a few vendors (Amazon, BB&B, Company Store, Macys) and the flat sheets from every one of them are too narrow to tuck under the mattress. I don't think one can shop for a larger queen-size flat sheet, if that's what you're suggesting.
I have bought relatively inexpensive and relatively expensive queen sized sheets and this is the case for newer queen mattresses--they aren't long enough to tuck in the sides. You can buy separates which might solve your problem, but king is so wide compared to the queen, the sheet will be practically dragging on the floor before you tuck it in.
I like the deep overhang. I like to tuck all that extra sheet in and get the cocoon effect.
here's the conclusion of Biden's address at Morehouse. Does this align with how Riley described the speech?
That cap on your head proves you’ve earned your crown. The question is now, 25 years from now, 50 years from now, when you’re asked to stand and address the next generation of Morehouse men, what will you say you did with that power you’ve earned? What will you say you’ve done for your family, for your community, your country when it mattered most?
I know what we can do. Together, we’re capable of building a democracy worthy of our dreams; a future where every — even more of your brothers and sisters can follow their dreams; a boundless future where your legacies lift us up t- — so those who follow; a bigger, brighter future that proves the American Dream is big enough for everyone to succeed.
Class of 2024, four years ago, it felt probably like Saturday. Four years later, you made it to Sunday, to commencement, to the beginning. And with faith and determination, you can push the sun above the horizon once more. You can reveal a light hope — and that’s not — I’m not kidding — for yourself and for your nation. “
The prayers of a righteous man availeth much.” A righteous man. A good man. A Morehouse man.
God bless you all. We’re expecting a lot from you.Thank you. (Applause.)
