Democrats should start carrying a Mr Potatohead around for these occasions. They seem to be becoming common.

Playing devils advocate here... Amazon and AWS are like two different companies. AWS has to answer to the demands of a much more powerful audience in the businesses that it serves than does Amazon (consumers writ large.)

The kids in the Texas Longhorns student section understand what America is better than Bo French ever will. And a political movement that looks at those beaming faces and sees a threat has told you everything you need to know about what’s actually in its heart. (Link below)

Less than two years after a catastrophic election, the Democratic brand remains unpopular, and the party is still in the grip of a divisive identity crisis.

Reds can still be a little dry for my tastes. Prefer a white that doesn't get nasty when warm, like a chablis, or possibly even a picpoul (provided it's not too tart...)

Sorry, that's not correct. Any alcohol acts as a diuretic, forcing out liquids before they are absorbed. All alcohol is dehydrating.

I lived in OB. Fireworks from Seaworld every night between Memorial Day and Labor Day, 9:50pm for 17 years. You will forgive me if I am not enthralled with fireworks anymore.

You do realize that stating that an unopposed candidate won just makes you look stupid and desperate to claim a win... sort of like Trump.

I'd say this speech was so bad that they should be talking about how embarrassed they are for him and talk a lot about the 25th. Time for bed grandpa...

Saw them in 1988 at Tingley Colliseum warming up for Cheap Trick. What a show... I had low expectations of both bands, and they both blew the roof off.

Living Colour releases “Cult of Personality” today in 1988. “.. It was musings on the amoral nature of leadership,” said songwriter and guitarist Vernon Reid. “Whether these people are good or bad, why are we drawn to larger-than-life personalities?” 🎸

I wish the final score was 10-0, though I do have to give it to the Paraguay goalie for the double save. That is the only player earning my respect on that team. Disgusting.

100%. I lived near Seaworld, which does fireworks every night between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Over 1000 fireworks displays during my time there. Done. Fired up my grill tonight, and basically grilled everything in sight. That's my idea of patriotism too!

It is not the job of the social security administration to play cheerleader for an unpopular president.  Stick to your job, and leave politics out of it. I'm not even a senior!
Email received from the Social Security Administration filled with praise for Trump.

While I appreciate you encouraging participation in available government programs, you really need to get your nose out of the president's derriere.

Sent to USPS: Today I received a letter that had a postmark with "Freedom 250." Freedom 250 is Donald Trump's highly partisan personal celebration. The bipartisan national celebration is "America 250." The post office is supposed to represent us all, not play partisan politics. Shame on you.

More than that... the medical records industry is upside down, with each provider maintaining copies of health records. The records should be in the hands of the patient, who then grants access to providers as needed. Let the patient control the source of truth.
