What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

Pastor Black: While I was in the middle of using the words of Jesus, they opened fire on me. It was so clear that they had been so poorly trained, or — the alternative — that they had been deliberately told to escalate violence against peaceful protesters.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

I'm old enough to remember when Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on White House grounds and Republicans were incensed. I remember someone saying it was a slap in the face to farmers. I'll see their organically grown tomatoes and raise them one demolished East Wing.
