Enjoy it, because your 40s will require sacrifices.

Door? If his campaign is the Titanic, once it hits the iceberg he'll be on the first and most luxurious lifeboat alone, with only his next nearest unindicted oarsman.

Reading A People's History of the United States put that on my radar. I hadn't given the idea any thought until a college course assigned this book. I was educated in a standard American public school during the Reagan and Clinton eras, complete with Pledge of Allegiance. The standard schoolbooks omit a lot of atrocities and smooth over the ugly reality.

Whatever legitimate criticisms you lay on it, Zinn's takedown opened my worldview and intensified my pre-existing anti-authoritarian streak.

9/11 happened shortly after and by then I considered Bush an illegitimate president. I watched him wage an unjustified war, and with the whole of our bloody rampage across the globe that clicked neatly into place. "America #1" is a sick joke.

Agree with both above parent comments, but what can they hope to gain by starting to point out his meltdowns now? Do they think they can convince him to step down as well? To change his rhetoric?

No unfortunately he has the right two bear arms

This one's not landing for me, maybe I've heard this before but I'm not sure what he's implying with "San Francisco style". Is that thin crust or deep dish? Does it come with mozzarella or anti-queer dogwhistle? I only spent an afternoon once in SF and I never had a chance to sample their "style" of liberal. Someone help me out here?

Panel 1, Everett has pulled over to assist a driver whose vehicle has flipped into a ditch. The driver is half-emerged through the window, dazed but alive, holding his head and gazing up at True, who is scowling. "Lucky young man," says True, "that I happened along when I did. Allow me to assist."

Panel 2, same layout, but Everett is in action. His foot stamps down and crushes the cellphone lying next to the driver, and he has brought down his umbrella on the prone driver's head. "Luckier still you didn't kill anyone else because you were too busy texting to pay attention to the road!"

We got a whole generation full of lead paint chips to thank for this

The company I work for has a decent professional culture that emphasizes teamwork without any weird gimmicks. But I don't get paid to make friends with these people. If anything, the people that think they're there to socialize usually put the work second and make things harder for the rest of the team.

There's nothing wrong with sharing jokes and having fun at work. As long as you understand that there's also value in keeping your personal life seperate.
