I'll be putting out a drop box for everyone telling me I was overreacting about the direction the country was headed in. Feel free to drop your apologies in at your convenience.

I love the pop-ups you see on online storefronts that offer a discount code or membership or something. Because when you click it, you inevitably have to click something like "No, I am an utter simpleton who understands nothing". Really makes me want to spend money at that place.

My brother, I don't understand my own code from last week. Every line I write is a bespoke bit of spontaneous genius that even I am incapable of deciphering mere days after writing it.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The GOP loves fear mongering on the dangers of a radical left government telling private corporations how to operate their business.
Anyway, here's the Republican president telling companies what to charge for their products regardless of market conditions.

I'm sure they'll all be first in line to go fight themselves, or send their own children, since it's such a noble and righteous cause.
Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?
You’re kidding.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo.
It’s cowardice.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
