These are deeply unhappy people.

It’s the egg wash on the pastry that’s likely to be a problem. You can always wash with cream instead, but most cooks default to egg wash unthinkingly. There’s a real risk involved. Even if he asked, the person who baked it might forget the egg wash that was used.

If you’ve ever visited Lincoln’s home in Springfield IL, you’ve seen his bathroom. It was a wooden outhouse. The WH upgrade for him was to be indoors.

When he says he can’t do it bc of the ‘Democrat shutdown,’ the reporter should just ask him ‘Aren’t you being paid?’ He’s giving them an extended paid holiday. He has no excuse.

Ask him. Every. Single. Time.

And that leads to questions of his own guilt. I think that issue-what responsibility do parents have for the sins of their children-is more impt and timely than the incel thing. 2/2

The story was incidentally about a social issue that caught fire. It’s primarily about the father, and Stephen Graham is the reason to watch it. His character goes from total support for the son he thinks is his, to acceptance of the flawed person he really is. 1/2

What a beautiful dress, and you look fabulous in it! So impressive that you created it. Love your responses to Google’s curiosity about none of their damn business.

If the Democratic Party hasn’t prepared strategies for all conceivable outcomes, shame on them. They let down the nation in not preparing for a President who promised dictatorship.

So the retailer who received the returned dresses now has inventory without paying the tariff on them. They can resell them at a markup to cover the tariff they didn’t pay. Read the terms before buying.

It was a religious (Christian) thing. I used to live there. I definitely didn’t fit in.

Where’s the defiance that Pelosi brought to Trump’s first residency? I truly don’t understand why they’re cowering, why there aren’t daily protest marches. Why are they acting shocked and saying they weren’t prepared, when most of the pres campaign was about this? What’s there to lose by acting?

I’m so sorry. My parents’ house burned down. They tried everything to get rid of the smoke in some treasured books and papers. Nothing worked. Fire is lasting grief. I wish you the best.

Yes! Jane!

In 1990, that mistake by Clayton Williams cost him the election and gave Texas its first modern-era woman Governor, the greatly missed Ann Richards. He thought he was being cute, signaling to his tribe. But Texans still thought civility mattered. Feels a lifetime ago.

Remember the song “Hey Paul Krugman?” A lot of us agreed.
