Yes, let's invest billions more to build a wall that does nothing but fatten the pockets of a developer and fuck up wildlife migration.
Come on, everyone knows Mexicans of every nationality are scared of heights.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

To be fair, about half of that deficit will be made up by firing the entire federal civil service workforce. All we need is a few patriotic states to follow suit, and we're good as gold here.

Trump calling Mark Robinson "Martin Luther King on steroids" only to see Robinson call for a return to slavery while touting how much he loves tranny porn seems more like rock bottom but we clearly have different scales of good and bad.

Pet peeve, and i'm sure it'll get construed by some to a form of racism, but I am just not a fan of emphasizing certain words with an accent if you aren't speaking with that accent.

When I speak in German, I try as best I can to emulate words in the dialect - say I was trying to say Kansas City Chiefs - I don't suddenly revert to a very clear American accent and say the word like that.

AOC has always been a bit much for me.

Well, he is the GOP nominee for Governor of North Carolina. Like most Republican hypocrites, he says things in public about how horrible LGTBQ+ people are only to behave the opposite way in private.

And also, his name is spelled the usual way: Mark. I remain interested in seeing a breakdown of whose names MICH intentionally misspells.

But you don’t also deliberately mispronounce names of countries and call them Eye-rack and Eye-ran. Also it’s Pahk-is-thaan. One comes across as the arrogant, ignorant and disrespectful buffoon that they are when they say names of people and places to suit how they can say it.

The interview where he apologized right after? Adam’s was great there. Iranian press obviously not. Much more important hills to die on concerning how Iranian people might act towards Americans. Loved loved loved Tyler’s reaction and answer there.
