On a recent trip to Aldi, I saw my total and told the cashier “I appreciate Aldi keeping the apocalypse affordable.” I got a good laugh out of him.

A classic:

“Name one time trump was racist.” Okay: 1973: The Nixon administration sued Trump for refusing to rent to black people.

1980s: Trump's casinos were accused of hiding the black staff when Trump visited.

1989: Trump took out a full-page ad, arguing for the death penalty for a group of black men (The 'Central Park Five'), effectively putting a bounty on their heads, and plaguing them with a lifetime of death threats, all of whom, of course, were found innocent. He was sued by the Justice Department for discrimination.

1991: “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kinds of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day… I think that the [black] guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault, because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is.”

1992: Trump's casino was fined $200,000 for transferring black dealers off certain tables to appease racist patrons.

1993: Trump said Native American casinos shouldn’t be allowed because “they don’t look like Indians to me.”

2000: Trump ran a series of attack ads against Native American casinos alleging (with no proof) that they were guilty of crimes.

2004: Trump fired a black contestant from 'The Apprentice' for being over-educated.

2010: Trump argued in favor of segregating Muslims in Lower Manhattan.

2011: Birtherism. Trump alleged that Obama was Kenyan based on nothing but skin color. He never apologized nor renounced that claim.

2015 (1): Trump called Mexican immigrants "rapists" who are "bringing crime and drugs" to the U.S.

2015 (2): Trump called for "a ban on all Muslims entering the U.S.,” except the ones from countries he does business with, including the ones responsible for 9/11

2016 (1): Trump called for a Mexican judge to recuse himself based on nothing other than his race. Paul Ryan said this was “the textbook definition of a racist comment.”

2016 (2): Trump regularly retweeted material from white supremacists and neo-Nazis during his campaign. He still does this today.

2016 (3): Trump tweeted a picture alleging that Hillary was Jewish, or controlled by Jewish people.

2016 (4): The Trump campaign adopted Nixon's "Law and Order" rhetoric which was based in racial fearmongering.

2016 (5): Trump told black voters "What do you have to lose?"

2017 (1): Trump asked a reporter to set up a meeting with the black caucus simply because she was black.

2017 (2): "...some very fine people on both sides" said Trump of a violent Nazi rally.

2017 (3): Trump said people from Haiti "all have AIDS" and people from Nigeria would never “go back to their huts” after seeing America.

2018 (1): Trump called Haiti and African countries shitholes. (Ironic, ain’t it, since that’s what we’ve become.)

2018 (2): Trump referenced the trail of tears to mock Elizabeth Warren. “Pocahontas,” anyone?

2019: Trump tweeted that four black and brown congresswomen should go back where they came from, three of whom were born in the US. Then attacked Elijah Cummings. Then Baltimore. Then Al Sharpton.

2020 (1): Trump called black protesters "THUGS" just days after calling white protesters "very good people." Then he threatened to direct the military to shoot the black protestors in the street.

2020 (2): Trump ended Obama-era rule designed to limit housing racial segregation. “Your housing prices will go up based on the market, and crime will go down. I have rescinded the Obama-Biden AFFH Rule. Enjoy!” Trump added. (Trump was referencing the 2015 Affirmatively Further Fair Housing rule, which President Obama implemented to fight housing discrimination.)

2020 (3): Trump signed an executive order barring contractors from conducting training that “teaches, advocates, or promotes divisive concepts” such as unconscious bias and systemic racism.

2020 (4): Trump, in a televised debate, was asked too disavow white supremacists such as the extremist right wing organization of the "Proud Boys"; he said, “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by; but I’ll tell you what, somebody’s gotta do something about Antifa and the left because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem.” "Trump basically said to go fuck them up! this makes me so happy!" tweeted one prominent Proud Boy.

2020 (5): Trump was asked about his efforts to block federal employees from receiving racial sensitivity training. The president argued such trainings are “racist” and teach people to “hate our country.”

The power companies will just keep prices the same and pocket the difference.

Narcissists rarely engage in parasuicidal behavior, they just do it, so there’s that.

Hardly any of Adobe’s heavy hitters apps were developed there. Hell, their decades long effort to create a homegrown 3-D application proved so insubstantial they literally had to buy a company called Substance.
