They’re so confident in the idiocy of their base they can go on TV and whine about being so loathed by the people of Chicago they can’t get a meal and then claim they’re being welcomed as liberators in the next breath.

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

Did you know there is a whole network of just-off-the-highway but otherwise middle-of-nowhere Indian restaurants (dhabas) that exist because 20% of truckers in the US are Punjabi? This one is in Bunker Hill, WV, off I-81.

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.
