Said “birthright citizen” had me at referencing language (and its historical trajectory in the US) alone. “Sprichst du Deutsch, du Wichser?”

...maybe add to that some self-hatred over his father having been a Klansman, who knows. And so here's another "conservative" American with a boner for the guy who made Hungary Europe's worst-performing country by many metrics.

Fully committed to remaining an untalented/unemployable nebbish for the rest of his previously accidental career.

He is the quintessential congressional mouthbreather and probably sucked at plumbing, too.

I had to show my passport no less than 5 times at the Munich airport prior to departing to the US.
Trivial.

After being separated from my US citizen spouse in Global Entry, fingerprinted and asked for Green Card, a non-white/non-male immigration officer finished with “Welcome back”.
Not trivial.

I 100% agree with this assessment!

Cotton remains my favorite "Southern-Ivy-League-Educated-Political-Dimwit" pet peeve. Tens of people will be devastated once he disappears.

Ezra Klein is really out here making it seem like whiteness is some intellectually crippling shit.

Having lived/worked in the US for almost as long as her (although not a single day with questionable immigration status), I believe my grasp of the English language and its pronunciation is, uhm, a little more advanced than this.
I might have also come up with a better speech (writer).

If stupidity/ignorance, even if performative, gave someone velocity, Maria Bartiromo, after asking this question, would have had to pump the brakes going uphill.

He probably was a TERRIBLE plumber, and definitely is an All-American idiot who will surely die an All-American idiot, perpetually incapable of reflecting, evolving, learning or listening.

I found his fictional demise in “Deutschland 83”, after the Maison de France bombing, mildly amusing.

I loved that my Desert Storm veteran neighbor Mitchel took his Harley out today, blasted Go-go on the system and honked at me riding by as I mowed the lawn.

Smallest in front, biggest in back.

Nobody knows if/when the world will come to its senses again, but I'd be very much into the idea of doing a trip from Nome, AK to Chukotka, RU, setting my watch 20 hours ahead after a short-ish flight, and not experiencing any touristy bullshit in the process.

Good to know that supporting and advancing artists with disabilities doesn’t reflect “the nation's rich artistic heritage and creativity as prioritized by the President”.

Then, in 2007, I met my future spouse, who told me she once was hired to play cello for a New Year‘s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, with trophy wives, Vegas show girls and the Grand Poobah ordering his new bride Melania to “get up and show what I done to ya” (she was preggers with Barron).

And then came the Apprentice, which I don‘t think I ever watched a full episode of.

It's an experience when you encounter somebody who is incapable of ever feeling any embarrassment, but really should 90% of the time.

It’s certainly a way.

Oh my god, a coddled guy in pastels, willing idiotic right wing art references into existence. Made me kinda remember some 90s German music writers and their splits between indie rock and philosophy, although they were much more charming and entertaining.

What a waste of an N-3B Parka.

My recent 53rd birthday has almost exactly halved my life between EU (AUT) and the US.
And before I draw my last breath, I hope that they will grow to be close and even better allies again under the guidance of future US leaders.

It was always clear Djokovic is a jerkwad with a messianic victim complex, the other one doesn’t know that testosterone is a steroid.

I watched this while spending a week with family across the ocean. Among a few things, the tear she reportedly shed at the end of Barry O.'s farewell visit especially did it for me.

Went all the way from DC to Upper Austria to help with some school walk chaperoning.

A second one for good measure. My regular one is presumably arriving a day too late, so the official at the consular office and I laughed about it.
Public service makes a difference in people‘s lives, and I have deep respect for the folks doing it across the Atlantic.
