In the 1950s for white men, America was pretty great. For just about everyone else no one would say it was “great”. So when they say “Make America Great Again” they mean “Make America Suck Again For Everyone But White Men”.

Edit: **Stand Down**14·16 days agoThough in this case I was granted a reprieve because they couldn’t stay as long as expected.
There must have been some lower income children about to receive needed healthcare or perhaps a nutritious meal that your wife’s relatives had to prevent from happening.

Edit: **Stand Down**22·16 days agoPull out a little notebook and write some shit in it, put it back in your pocket, look back at them quickly then continue as if nothing happened.
I like this! If they press you on an explanation for what you’re doing you could say “I have a bet going.” Glance down at the pad, perhaps flip a few pages, moving your pen like you’re counting, then say “It looks like I’m winning!” then smile.
If you don’t mine starting a fight you could even go with “I’m playing MAGA bingo. You could really help me out if you say something predictiably shitty about immigrants or perhaps something laughable about ‘small government’”.

Edit: **Stand Down**60·16 days agoI’m sorry to hear about your intestinal distress which will make you spend most of the visit in the bathroom with a quick in-person “goodbye” right before jumping in the car.
…or…
which means they get to “accidentally” drop little comments then titter in apology
When they do this just stare right at them, with a blank expression. Keep the stare for about 10 seconds until it starts to get uncomfortable for everyone, and then just say “hmm” while maintaining eye contact.
Padme: So the solution is a huge investment in public housing or state subsidised housing, right?

So their process sounds like it creates synthetic lard, not butter. This can still be a good thing as the extra ingredients to make it “butter” aren’t really the hard/impactful part of butter.

If a finished product containing chips from say, Europe, were to land on USA shores it would only have a 15% tariff right?
Why does trump hate American manufacturing?

Part of the purchase agreement of a Tesla agreeing to binding arbitration. This means no class action suit. You can opt out of this within the first 30 days, but you have to send a letter requesting it.
How many Tesla owners do you think do that?
Mine was replacing a failed hard drive in array.
