      She’ll do whatever Trump asks, and has little to no moral qualms about potentially illegal acts.

      As a sitting Governor, she at least has some executive experience and is more qualified for the Cabinet than RFK Jr. or Stephen Miller. Note: “more qualified” doesn’t necessarily mean “qualified”.

        It’s definitely a low bar.

        It’s more of a sexual orientation… Or I guess perversion?

        Next door failed as an app, but what does exist across neighborhoods (I travel for work sometimes) are “private” Facebook groups that more or less fill the gap Next Door tried to fill.

        The pet eating comment started there, in an angry community group on FB.
