Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here today to remember a tremendous life, a life like no other, believe me. Donald J. Trump, a man of great success, unmatched, really. He built an empire, folks, a fantastic, beautiful empire. The Trump Organization, Trump Tower, the best real estate, absolutely the best. And let's not forget, he was the 45th President of the United States, a job he did like no one else could.

He made America great again, folks. Jobs, jobs, jobs, everywhere. The economy was booming, the best economy we've ever seen, they say. He fought hard, so hard, for the American people. Drained the swamp, big league. He dealt with foreign leaders, and they respected him. They did, they really did.

Donald J. Trump was a family man, a fantastic father, and a wonderful husband. Melania, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, Tiffany, and Barron, all incredible, wonderful people. He loved them dearly, and they loved him.

He will be remembered as a patriot, a winner, a man who never stopped fighting for what he believed in. He believed in America, folks. He believed in you. And he will be missed. But we will carry on, we will keep fighting, and we will never forget the legacy of Donald J. Trump. Thank you, thank you very much.

This was me a while back. I used to tell my wife that the fact that she didn't know anything about tech meant my company would actually consider her a better employee because she would stick to the script and hold the company line, even if it was bullshit, because she wouldn't know it was bullshit.

Whois lookup says this. Doesn't discredit the "hastily thrown together in an hour" idea, though.

This is quite a few years old now, but I think the main points are still valid. As you said, everything is so polished, kids don't need to figure out how it works.

At my first job, I printed out the ~85 page guide for GTA Vice City to have for reference while playing without having to get up and go to the computer.

Indeed, not only “an accidental conversation” but an intentional one would fall outside the statute’s scope unless the U.S. citizen’s intent was to affect a foreign government’s policy in a concrete way. Thus, former basketball star Dennis Rodman most likely did not violate the statute when he traveled to North Korea and met with that country’s leader in an effort to promote “peace and love.”

then a permanent ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, and ultimately the reconstruction of Gaza and return of Palestinians to their homes.

I don't have anything to add, but want to ask a question about this part: what fucking homes?!?!

"Ok, you can go back home now. Btw, it's a pile of rubble now, so good luck with that. Bye!"

expanding the military by 100x

Send massive amounts of money to defense contractors...

entirely cut all post-separation benefits for anyone that is conscripted

without any future liability obligations....

you could expect to see that number triple, easily

and leaving tons of room to grift...

cutting everything else that taxes are spent on

all while also getting to fuck over the poors?

My dad bought me a ridiculously expensive (like $400) Samsung vacuum that I loved. It was strong, it came apart in really cool ways to make it versatile, etc.

It failed in less than a year.

The $60 Walmart special Bissell that I went and bought to replace it lasted for 8.5 years before the motor burned out (I screwed up and it got too much pet hair in it). I bought the same one again and it's going on 5+ years with no issues.

Might be, but it lacks the orange color Two Hands boxes usually have.
