if you ask the average American to describe what they think a tougher immigration system should look like, they will describe something a degree of magnitude softer and more generous than the current reality.

The lesson here is that people are both better and dumber than they appear.

I think the recipe is written with small prune plums (the ones with very dark skin and almost green flesh) in mind, but also works well with larger varieties. I always just use as many as will snugly fit

Der Todeskult selig vereint im Zynismus, das wie Humor aussieht, aber abgrundtiefe Menschenfeindlichkeit bleibt.

Es geht um Serien-Exekutionen auf dem Meer, ohne Gerichtsverfahren whatever, und der VP faselt etwas über Angelausflüge. Eine nihilistische Singularität der Menschenfeindlichkeit.

Klein explicitly says his project is to dishonestly portray the true nature of the right for his readers in hopes that helps foster some common ground to heal our nation. This didn’t work for Obama and it’s not gonna work for him.

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.
