01·10 months agoHell, her last name alone gives it away.
The Drummond family is one of the wealthiest families in Oklahoma, owning hundreds of thousands of acres of land.
Wealthy enough they have their own Wikipedia page.

She’s married into one of the wealthiest families in Oklahoma.
Completely excluding the tens of millions she herself is worth from her business.
Sure, but NK is involved in the war in Ukraine given that they’re supplying arms to Russia.
No it’s because they hate Jews.
Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iran, and Lebanon do not give a single fuck about Palestine or Palestinians. They want the land for themselves.
From 1948 to 1967 Jordan owned the West Bank. And Egypt controlled Gaza.
No Palestinian state was created then when it could have been. Jordanians and Egyptians built settlements of their own and displaced Palestinians.
Egypt refuses to take in Palestinians now.
Yes? Jordan has participated in every conflict against Israel since 1947.
To be fair, they do. Iran, Jordan, and Egypt have tried repeatedly to eliminate Israel entirely.
Because they have nukes and would use them on their neighbors.
“Well refined mentally”
About as well refined as bunker fuel.
Tripe is extremely common to eat lol.
It’s one of my favorites on tacos. Chewy but not hard like cartilage.
Sometimes crispy if the taqueria fries it, which is how I like it.
Avocado toast itself is a great meal. If you make it at home, it’s a cheap meal full of good fats that will keep you full for a while.
Avocado toast in a cafe or something is stupid because they charge $15-20 for something that costs $1 to make.
Oh they’ll still hear it. And they’ll just know him as the office asshole with the annoying af keyboard.
That does happen. Most long haul freight is done overnight so that there’s less traffic and the trucks can be more efficient with time.
Short to medium haul freight needs to get the finished product from the factory to the distribution centers for the long haul freight to pick it up.
Also, most production factories are 24/7 anyway. Usually you have 5-1, 1-9, and 9-5.
22·10 months agoAnd this is where you lose me. Making things more restrictive is literally the states’ entire job.
No it isn’t. The states’ job is to create and enforce their own laws that are not explicitly granted to the federal government, nor explicitly prohibited to the States, in the Constitution per the 9th and 10th amendments.
IX The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Basically, the Constitution isn’t an exhaustive list. If it isn’t mentioned, then the default is that the right is retained by the people.
X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
Explicitly states that as long as it isn’t something explicitly granted to the Feds, or explicitly something the Constitution prohibits the States from (article II, Section 10 gives a list of things that the Constitution explicitly denies the States from having any power in), then the default is that the State controls it.
In this case, the qualifications of members of Congress are explicitly and solely granted to the federal government, through Article I, Section IV.
Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
States themselves do not control Congressional elections. Anyone meeting the Constitutional qualifications (and filed all the correct Federal Election Commission paperwork, HAS to be allowed on the ballot.
And to your broader point, no they cannot just make things more restrictive. The Supremacy clause is explicit in that Federal law and the Constitution overrides ANY state law or restriction that is not what the Constitution itself states. You see state restrictions overturned by the Feds all the time because of this.
States can’t overrule the constitution, which sets the explicit qualifications for the House of Representatives.
No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
A state can’t make that more restrictive, by increasing the minimum age, increasing the length of citizenship, or restricting residency within the state.
Nearly all candidates do acquire residency in the district they’re seeking for legitimacy, but it’s not required.
I have literally never defended trumps bitch ass lol.
It’s ok, you can just say you don’t know what tax deductible actually means
81·11 months agoSure but the article specifically mentions autotune being a Cher first thing.
The ubiquitous robotic Auto-Tune effect? Cher did that first.
That’s kind of irrelevant though because the US wasn’t colonizing them. And in both, the US had complete dominance during the entire occupation.
The south Vietnamese and the Afghan governments were weak and corrupt and caved as soon as the US withdrew. In a colonial situation, the US would have not pulled out at all and would have implemented a permanent occupation.
