First in Seattle and later in Alaska.

These were restaurants that just had sex as side on their menu. What I like is that the place in Alaska served horsemeat, ptarmigan, and "soiled dove".

The Nazis loved to keep records about where everyone belonged in the social structure, so to speak.

Trump’s, and other’s, calls for merit-based immigration, no entry for “certain” kinds of people, attacks perpetrated and encouraged on “others” of whatever origin, on an expanding list of “others” to direct anger towards...are the Trump nazis gonna need to keep records of who’s who, and what’s what?

Good turnaround by Ms. Joy here.

Ps I hate nazis

His grandfather came to the US when he was 16 years old to dodge Bavaria's mandatory military service.

His mother came to the US to live with her sister in Queens. She's a "chain immigrant"

His current wife came to the US and worked for some period of time without a work visa, a borderline "illegal immigrant"

Where's the merit? Ummmmm, their sole "merit" was that they were all WHITE!

-when Koch said it, and he always said it with a cold, dismissive tone-he meant "the white guy will always get the job".

Everybody knew it.

Who's to say what "merit" truly means, anyway?
