To quote my son when our car wouldn't start because the starter was dead, "Welp."

Trump totally knew it. They approached the current owner of the shop who flat out turned them down ... so they scraped up the former owner and then lied about who he was and how he was impacted.

1. Insurance is a thing.

Tom Gram did something too many white men have been unable to do. He told Donald Trump “no.” He’s a goddamn patriot.

In fairness, a full third of the MAGATs would probably threaten property crimes against his business, perhaps arson.

He owns the land. He sold the building, and right to use the business name, as part of package when he sold the store. He had been in business along time; and the goodwill he’d built up in the community was part of what he sold by allowing the name transfer.

He also clearly does not use a tanning bed as that shitty foundation of his stops in a hard line around his ears. 

If I were the owner I would have said yes, and then did everything in my power to ruin his stupid photo-op.

Literally, a crisis actor.

Damnit, you’re right. I came of comic age right when Age of Apocalypse happened so I forget that shit happened pre 90's. I should have remembered though because I have an old reissue Mutant Massacre book(I think it was packaged as a "Sabretooth Classic"). 

I think Storm was a leader of one of the teams when they did the Blue/Gold team thing years ago, she’s always kinda been #2 to Scott in that aspect though.

It almost happened:

And why not? We got an older Wolverine movie. Let’s get a mature Storm story! (Seriously though, I would love to see a movie centered on her. So many story possibilities.)

I swear her look in Black Panther made me mad about it all over again. Even at her damn flawless age now she could pull it off.

Angela Bassett has always been what I envision Storm to look like

Luke about his money.

I liked the hawk era. I didn’t see it as a betrayal, as much as a sign of change. And a visual representation early on that X-men got to be more than just one note superheroes who could go through complex change. Given that she picked that look up after palling around with Yukio in Tokyo, and going on what can only…

If you watch carefully in the black panthers there is a storm mural in Shuri’s lab

Can we put aside our traditional grievances and share black comic memes?

I was such a Storm fan I was pretty much just as upset as Kitty when she changed her look to go punk/goth.
