Of course it's blind, Donald doesn't read the reports, so it's blind. No, he has someone read the reports to him, and nobody said anything about it having to be a deaf trust.

they put his name in every paragraph so he'll keep reading

I wonder if they bother trying to work it in organically, or if they just randomly insert "DONALD TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES" every 4-6 lines.

The fact a dictionary has to correct Trump on spelling is depressing.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I find that a minor issue. Some people have trouble with spelling. I am one of those people. I try to make sure I spellcheck, but I do miss things.

Whoop, just realized I should probably add context

The world learned from Russia that you flatter Trump and throw in some sweetheart deals and he'll be your bitch.

Or perhaps Saudi simply didn't like Obama, as was stated in the article, because Obama went easy on Saudi's rival Iran, and Trump didn't. So they decided to be slightly nicer to Trump. But you know. Gotta bring Russia into everything, or else Putin will be displeased.

Well actually the Russians did say that Trump was every easy to manipulate. Though it was the Chinese who figured it out first

You know, I don't mean to be depressing, but I'd make more then that in a year on a simple minimum wage job as the first job I ever do...Or very close to that anyway

It really depends on where and how you live tbh. I mean, San Francisco is off limits at this point for the majority of Americans; might as well give it the moniker "The American Versailles".

I dunno how accurate it is, but I've heard that if minimum wage actually catered to inflation, it should be over $20 an hour right now.

And it's black comedy that NATO has to actually dumb down its own conference in anticipation of Trump's demented short attention span.

I'm trying to picture Trump as the President in Doctor Strangelove.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I've heard it would be closer to $11. Something around $10.50, I think?

I used an online calculator, and I got $11.47, so anything within that range should be good.
