This just makes it all the more baffling. They are acting like the election is in just days and there are no other choices. Just suck it up and accept a ‘less than perfect’ candidate. WTF? There is an entire Grand Canyon between’ less than perfect’ and ‘a little bit Nazi’! Find someone else FFS

I just cannot wrap my head around this. That is not an accidental tattoo and all the insane excuses being pulled out while he just lies repeatedly. How is this not an immediate disqualification??? There is no amount of Nazi that is acceptable! None. Zero. How is the even a discussion???

And if there's one thing we really need to learn, in a fucking hurry, is that you can't stop Armageddon that way.

And what they would call them? What a ridiculous article.
Our most important kitchen items are a zojirushi rice cooker (best family present I ever bought), electric kettle, coffee maker, steel wok & cast iron pans.
would not expect my neighbors to have the same list cause why would they?

Ooo. I can out posh this. We have 4 sets of titanium chopsticks we use all the time. They are lighter than stainless steel. We also have reusable ones with Totoro & Gigi for when we are feeling less posh.
I don’t dare even look at that article. Like kitchens in NYC, LA and New Orleans are the same.
