Mlle DoodleFace is lagging behind her new pack. Saga herds DF to keep up with the group, not letting DF go at her own pace, or rest when she needs to. The new dog walker only has high energy dogs on her walks, but recommended someone else who has more older dogs where DF can pace herself better.
Meanwhile, Saga is loving the new gang, so we'll probably spit the dogs up. DF won't care. Saga'll probably be a bit upset at first. Hope this works out for the both of them.

Epstein saga: A 'breaking point' for MAGA faithful?
The most cleansing outcome of this scandal would be for the MAGA faithful to be brought face-to-face with what lying, shameless lowlives the Trump crowd are.Mona Charen (Chicago Sun-Times)
The article isnโt wrong, but I donโt think itโs helpful to have these kinds of articles in the general press. Because rather than lead to better spending, more coordination etc, which the author wants, this will just lead to more ppl saying โoh, so we donโt actually need to spend as muchโ.
