the right has chosen to run a smear campaign on her

And they run smear campaigns on EVERYONE with a D in front of their name, regardless of how far to the left they actually are. Democrats are playing a losing game by worrying about how the Republican media are going to portray them.

“There’s the fake abs, then Donald … jiggly Donald, and then … abs.”

He is selling himself as the new messiah.

Aka being weird in front of religious people.

The advantage of that particular flag is that there’s no way to hang it upside-down.

often has trouble understanding

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

The best part of that was him claiming it would fix the homelessness problem here. No free carts, no homeless people pushing their belongings around the streets.

We are on the path from ruin to annihilation.

He’s like the presidential version of the Nigerian prince scam email. That email contains a bunch of intentional misspellings and grammatical errors because the phishers want to weed out people who can think and reason correctly.

Spy magazine back in the late '80s and early '90s was basically an NYC magazine and they used to mercilessly rip on Trump. Every year they did a “Top 10 Worst People, Places or Things” list and he was always on it. One year, the only mitigating factors in his favor were his offer to pay for the funeral of a child killed by a bear (which he probably reneged on) and the fact that he didn’t run for office.

They also did a prank once where they sent checks for tiny amounts to millionaires to see who would cash them. Trump survived the first round by cashing a check (that he actually hand-endorsed) for something like $1.30, and he was one of two recipients to cash the last round of checks for 13 cents. Dude has been the exact same bit of trash for his entire life.

it was the first one

Uh, I think the Magna Carta is a little bit older.

No way. Big corporations like … uh … Boeing would never just kill somebody to protect their billions of dollars of earnings.

Back in the late '80s and early '90s Trump always made the top 10 of Spy magazine’s “100 worst people, places or things” feature. In 1987 (when he was #3 on the list), his only mitigating factors were “didn’t run for office” and “offered to pay for the funeral of child killed by bear”. I’m willing to bet he never actually paid for the funeral.

I thought GF stood for girlfriend until I thought about it a bit more.

I don’t remember us ever using the thing. My parents were sort of proto-hippies and we didn’t eat stuff like hot dogs very often.

That thing is built like a tank and a probable fire hazard.

Back in the '70s my parents got gifted an electric hot dog cooker. It basically had two rows of electrode spikes and you’d stick a bunch of hot dogs between the spikes and electrocute them. Dangerous as fuck since it had no kind of guard or anything - and how hard is it to just boil hot dogs anyway?

I recently bought a 1970s Sunbeam food processor to replace my broken modern one. It’s so incredibly quiet that I thought it was broken as well until I tried it out grinding stuff and found that it was even better and faster than the modern one. It is much heavier, though, and a pretty ugly shade of '70s yellow.

Old speakers had enormous, heavy magnets and were great at reproducing audio, especially on the low end. The only major “development” with modern speakers has been the ability to sort of reproduce sound with lighter-weight, cheaper materials.

I don’t still have my dad’s whole 60s-era stereo but I do have the speakers and they’re absolutely fantastic. Heavy as fuck with the giant magnets and solid wood cabinets. Modern stuff just does not compare, especially on the low frequency end.

Fluoridex. Prescription-only and pricey (~$17 per tube) but worth it. My dentist prescribes it and also sells it from his office for a bit less than what drug stores charge. Health or dental insurance may cover it but probably not.
