So Bad Bunny an American born in America is not All American enough, but The Who, a band 100% made up of foreign citizens born in another country (That we fought in TWO wars) were fine?

I am sure there is something I'm missing. It's white on the tip of my tongue.

I've worked in museums that were haunted by spirits of funders. Controversial works of art and artifacts disappearing without a peep, label text altered to match a funder's ideology, names of eminent scientists replaced with names of corporations and billionaires on walls. It's all very spooky.

This is hilarious! Once you think about it. Learn about 19th Century Dime Museums and read about the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. Then think some more. HILARIOUS!

Just my two cents but the GOP has been fuck your health care since AT LEAST 1993 and the Clintons' efforts at reform.

As second haderach to the deputy Chancellor of the Antifa-Exchequer, I gotta notify you that all we can afford is number 9B pencils and grade 1 paper. But we got all the erasers you want. (A box of rubber bullets "fell of a truck" heh heh heh)

“ Favorite" is a deliberate misspelling of "favorite" because Noah Webster said "america, fck yeah”!

I've heard that American soldiers are called Doughboys, but that's ridiculous.

I hear college students have sex, too. Sometimes with people they aren't married to, or will EVER marry.

LEO's can shoot anyone they want on duty (and even off duty most of the time) and never be held accountable for it if they can find even the thinnest of reasons to claim they felt threatened. That's been true since long before Trump came along. Americans like it that way as far as I can tell.

Well, as secretary of Homeland Security she is supposed to defend the country against fowl play.

Interestingly "In to the Breeches" is also the title of a Rev War themed porn video I saw in college.

Out of curiosity, for which side, if any, do black reenactor's fight? Among Civil War reenactors the myth of the black CSA soldier persists, but there were many more black soldiers for the British than America.

Remember when GOP Governors thought sending federal troops uninvited into states was a bad idea?

At some point "Don't Tread on Me" became "I'm treading as hard as I can."

I guess we now know what happened to that seminary graduate who uttered that famous punchline, “If this is poverty, I can’t wait for chastity.”
