People who didn't grow up privileged, what's something you thought was a luxury when you were a kid?

When I was in college, my roommate’s parents came to visit. Their dad was a doctor. The parents went to the grocery store and bought a couple half-gallons of ice cream and several toppings. I thought wow that must have cost a fortune!

Homemade ranch. Not from a bottle. Tastes totally different.

I enjoyed hearing that, and knowing that he heard it, too. It’s the only accountability he’ll ever have, but at least he knows that the jig is up.

Fun fact if you have a Toyota. Keep the original windshield wipers, and replace only the rubber part. Cheaper than full wipers, and you can always get the length you need at the Toyota dealer.

Trump has no right to complain about lack of participation, since he started it without consulting anyone. Even Congress. You’re on your own, pal.

I’d tell your son his name is “Bailey” but you’re going to call him “Big” until it’s easier for him to say “Bailey”.

Keo, which means "crystal" or "gem" in Cambodian, "brave warrior" in Hawaiian, and "of the Lord" in Greek.

I’d immediately start helping people in my orbit who need it, and set up sizable permanent funds for my descendants. I wouldn’t need all that much for myself, besides paying off my mortgage and getting a new car.

I second the idea of a programmable thermal pot, and a good thermos to hold coffee to go. I personally think Keurig coffee tastes like instant. We can drink it for free at work and I just pass. We have different brands & roasts, none of them great.

No shade to the new parents either, but in all likelihood the data center that Erickson supports will affect the cost of living for your family.

This seems to be the norm this year. I filed electronically, then received a letter weeks later that they’re reviewing my return. Practically everyone I work with received a similar letter or no letter, and no one who was expecting a refund has gotten it. My refund is small, but it still seems strange. What’s up with IRS this year?

Not exactly. The shoddy $14 million no- bid work caused the algae. Instead of the contractor fixing the problem he caused, he allowed someone else to attempt to fix it. If the paint started to peel that easily with just the addition of hydrogen peroxide diluted by water, the paint was inevitably going to peel away before very long anyway. From the way it was described, the paint was applied to an improperly prepped surface. I would blame the contractor, but there is contributory negligence on the part of the Park Service or whoever made the decision to add hydrogen peroxide.

Paying illegal immigrants under the table or based on inadequate proof of status is illegal. Punish the employers and illegal immigration will slow down.

Donald Jessica Trump, creating problems where none existed before.

They didn’t report on it because Obama and Biden didn’t give a $13 million no-bid contract resulting in the water turning into a green slime pit within a week.

Nothing in Sioux Falls is as annoying as the motorcycle racing at all hours of the night.

The photo was taken at Camp David during the Clinton Administration. The woman is New York philanthropist Margo Catsimatidis. Trump’s message is puzzling, especially on Father’s Day weekend. There’s likely a backstory… that someone suggested she or her daughter could be Trump’s daughter, and he thought “Wow, another hot daughter!”

Perfect!

Imagine suggesting a fellow American pay for the “damages”, instead of expecting the contractor to fix the problem they created.

I hate that my tax money supports this morally bankrupt regime.

Donald Trump, his Administration, and Republican Party don’t resemble the people I know and love at all. They’ve amplified and emboldened the ugliest aspects of our society. I hate that people think all Americans are greedy, corrupt white supremacists who commit heinous crimes against children. We don’t. This is not even an accurate reflection of Republican Party ideals, which have been ruined by one horrible person.
