I might have put my generations wrong, her grandfather was born in Ireland, so I think you're right in that she's actually a second generation immigrant.

My wife is a 3rd generation Irish immigrant, meaning she can apply for dual citizenship and I can get Irish citizenship as a "needed specialist."

It's not the easiest escape plan, especially since it would mean abandoning her aging father, but at least we can get out of here if/when the Brown Shirts come for us.

This is exactly how he got elected in 2016. All he does is lie and attack and people believe him. If the moderators pushed him even slightly on his lies instead of allowing him to spew whatever bullshit he wanted for two minutes, the night would have gone much differently. Instead, Joe had to spend half of his time refuting clear lies instead of talking about his accomplishments.

Compared to what they were likely thinking, "Blacks for Trump" is downright progressive for them.

I love how they advertise "up to 20% off a steam deck," but that's only for refurbished and there's none in stock.

Tarantulas are extremely fragile creatures. She probably killed that poor thing.

On the flip side, if it's a new world tarantula, then they have highly irritating hairs that they'll spray in the air. Those hairs would be more dangerous than a bite, as a spider has little to no interest in attacking an ape 50x its size.

Well, it's not wrong...

It means they are pushing on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. In essence, they are revving the engine, engaging the power train AND applying brake force to it all at the same time.

What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.
