"Just the painful process of correction with whiteout and retyping would cause them to cry."

That crap was the worst. I think you forget what that felt like, having to rewrite half a paper because you needed to fix something that ruined all the formatting that followed.

"Its a shame we borrow so we can give it to other nations."

Allies don't come cheap.

" I dread reading scholarship applications every year. Hint to applicants: dont use the computer to proofread or fix grammar."

I was the go-to person to proofread several friends' law school application essays. Wound up asking them if they would mind my rewriting them myself. They got into good schools. One dropped out after a year to become a social worker. One is now in entertainment law. The other two are in finance.

That said, I myself can barely remember how to write in cursive anymore and I used to have fairly decent handwriting. Now if I have to write at all it's print. And more than a paragraph or two my hand starts to ache. I'm a pretty good typist though. Less so with my thumbs on my phone like now.

This one goes in the awful taste but great execution category. Especially the shoes.

"I never would have imagined that a fraud like Trump could somehow make millions of people suddenly really stupid. Incredible."

He's just the first one to go all-in on exploiting an already existing, but ignored, vulnerability. Most at least pretend to have a conscience so leave it alone.

" If the Bidens did something illegal, why would Republicans be unwilling to investigate and see that justice is served?"

Because that kind of stuff is bipartisan.

I listen to a lot of Lizzo at my house because of my wife and daughter. Took me a minute but I get the appeal and can respect what she's doing. Not really my thing though.

"Elizabeth Warren wants to abolish the Electoral College"

But she's too afraid to consider changing the order of state primaries, saying she's "just a player in the game."

LOL at her on this.

"He's the Donald Trump of the left."

That's hysterical. Even if he in fact is full of empty promises there's no way in hell he's as dangerous to this country and its reputation as Trump. And you know it.

"If Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire, President Hope and Change is going to lead a Stop Sanders movement. He's itching to demonstrate he still has clout."

I think that's an empty threat. He doesn't want to do anything to threaten his or his wife's Instagram Influencer status.

"Billy Eichner to play Matt Drudge in American Crime Story"

He does kinda look like him.

"He was funny at first, then he became redundant."

His show is one that I can only take in small doses, but I still think it's funny.

"Given that Kramer has not played with the band in 6 months and the dearth of available rehearsal time before the upcoming performances, Kramer has not shown a realistic alternative course of action sufficient to protect the band's business interests."

Man, that's gotta hurt. It also sounds like a load of bullsh__. The guy played with them for 50 years, knows the songs inside and out. There has to be something more to this.

"They might say "no psychos" or that they "------- hate big eyebrows" in their bios."

It's funny because what the author calls signs of extreme white, conservative thinking also cast a lot of false positives. I swore off psychos in my early 20s and am really not a fan of the big eyebrows trend lately.

That said, I did get criticized for manspreading on the subway a few weeks ago. I just rolled my eyes and continued reading the Retort.

"Trump is killing the Republican vote just like he did in 2018."

I'm pretty sure it wasn't lower than usual Republican turnout that was responsible for 2018 but higher than usual Democratic turnout.

Add this to the reasons why YYYY/MM/DD is the only acceptable format for dates.

"Impeachment Poll: 71% of Republicans Want Witness Testimony"

So what? It's the other 29% that chooses the winner of primaries.

"This way he gets to spin and slander Biden without the risk of being under oath."

He learned this tactic from his boss, who learned it from Roy Cohn, who learned it from Joe McCarthy.

White nationalists on social media are loving this. They are taking it as a sign that the GOP continues to be on their side. Water is a metaphor for purity, and milk is a metaphor for whiteness. This has been a meme for a while now.

"You honestly think the Earth cares where on the planet they live."

His point is that the carbon footprint of Americans is much larger than those of most third world countries.

There's a big difference between who is dumbest and who is willing to say the dumbest things, Nixon.

"6 takeaways from CNN's latest national poll on 2020 6. Democrats have a battleground problem"

Too bad CNN is partly responsible for creating and perpetuating that problem.

I... err... uhmm... I mean... Forget it, I got nothing.

"He is guaranteeing he won't be getting re-elected. He is making the Dems job easy for them."

That's what he thought it 2016. See how that turned out. Looking at the current front-runner, it appears we're on the same course.

"So? It's not like that now."

Mass incarceration of black people obviated the need for further gun control measures.
