Yes. Hot pan, melt butter till it sizzles, then add the bread - golden crust perfection. I’d also recommend the Martha Stewart: throw a pat of butter on the inside side of the bread before adding the cheese.

With its insistence on the pretense of loving our way into racial harmony, the movie exists almost exclusively to allow white moviegoers to nod sagely about “how far we’ve come” before calling the cops on their black neighbors for not waving hello.

Is there a “manic pixie dream girl” type name for this trope? Because it certainly exists, and it’s definitely exhausting. 

“Race is an uncomfortable thing that Chad and I don’t like to talk about, but we’ve learned that we have to talk about it,” said Williams.

He didn’t see race, but didn’t want to be the only white dude in the room?

Another happy-dancing 7th districter over here!!!! I knew when Brat was running commercials of himself in a room full of goddamn golden retriever puppies, we had him scared. SO proud of the work done to pull this off!

Grew up on an Army base, and can confirm. The worst part of a given day was not getting at the commissary until 16:30. There were days we’d just not go grocery shopping, rather than be stuck out during retreat. 

He disrespected veterans openly (McCain, Kahn, PTSD...) and they elected him president.
