I cannot begin to describe my repulsion towards Trump's NYC penthouse. It's just.... ghastly. And it suits him so well.

It looks like the kind of place that Amish or Mennonites or Shakers would live in
....or maybe the Donald has been reading some minimilists interior decorating magazines. Interiors like that will make him appeal to his core followers in the hollers and backwoods of West Virginia.

I simply cannot understand Holocaust denial. I like how smug she looks in the photo too. If there is one conspiracy theory that is the dumbest and most pernicious in history this is unequivocally it.

The most charitable explanation I've ever seen of Holocaust deniers is that they are psychologically unable to accept the horror of the Holocaust. I struggle to think that such beliefs might not reflect some sort of mental disorder.

Rim Whoreton's coffee tastes like filtered burnt shit, so it does not surprise me in the slightest that they would treat their employees in kind.

It is cheap and ugly but at least it is pedestrian friendly. The brick is not brick, it is textured stucco.
