Also, these old arguments are exhausting. The money freed up from student debt relief doesn’t just accumulate in to everyone’s Scrooge McDuck-like vault. That money gets spent in the wider economy. Everything from housing to pizza deliveries.

I lost nearly everything when I suffered a brain injury with no health insurance. And of course I supported the Affordable Care Act! Why should I wish that suffering on anyone else?

Fruit cake gets such a bad rap in this country, but I had a proper British one once, and it was enlightening. 

I... I....know this guy.

I’ve always wanted to try bara brith. I’m Welsh Canadian, so I grew up on boiled raisin cake, which is sorta/kinda a wartime Canadian version (no tea though) passed down by the older women in the family. 

My holiday addiction is fruit mince pies - I have to make myself resist when they appear on the shelves in September...

I’m Welsh! And my grandma used to make this all the time. I’m not a fan because fruit cake is still fruit cake - father in law likes the soaking in whisky part, I think, so tea might be a bit boring for him!

Every year my father in law asks me if I mind buying or making him a fruit cake for Christmas! His Italian family don’t do the boozy British style ones, and he loves them!

If I was the crematorium guy I’d be running a barbeque out front.

I’m honestly kind of hoping he continues blustering and futilely protesting about fraud while America increasingly ignores him. It’ll mean he won’t be focused on whatever other damage he could do in the next 2 1/2 months.

OT:

I’ve been laughing at this for 2 days straight!

Trump said, “Book the Four Seasons”, then tweeted it before they did it. The Four Seasons Hotel said “HahahahahahNo” when the campaign called for a presser in an hour. So they googled it and found another Four Seasons, because by that time, His Imperial Orangeness was on the way to the golf course. They went with it,…

I did cry. I was in my car on the interstate, sobbing like a baby and navigating traffic. 

I just went to the grocery store and picked up a bottle of red AND white sparkling grape juice. I'm going to drink them straight from the bottle in my hotel room and have a fabulous nonalcoholic time tonight, where the only news I want to hear about is when my laundry will be done.
