Facts. The amount of horribly, illegibly scrawled messages you see at protests. Luckily the worst offenders don’t tend to make it onto social media, understandably.
How the heck one of the most genuinely pathetic and un-American Americans became president is something I will never understand.
It’s because he’s the perfect example of America at its worst – rich without earning any of it, vainglorious, racist, xenophobic, selfish, and transactional.

There’s nothing intrinsically non-primary in the format. At the end of the day they’re collaborative writing projects, split into pages with internal and external links; it’s just that the biggest one out there happens to be tertiary.

The state holds a monopoly on violence, another monopoly isn’t a stretch.
Yeah … source that claim. I’d believe in most places in the Bible Belt have rules like that. But, I have personally ordered pitchers in several different states and had zero need to demonstrate that I’m party to a party.

I’m in the US and use my watch or phone for nearly every purchase. I was at the farmers market this morning and used my watch for five transactions. The last time I used a card was at the dentist a few weeks ago.
