Even if it is not mentioned anymore in India, I am sure the 'upper castes' sill think of the 'lower' ones that way

His name is also "Vivek Ramaswamy". That's just not a name that is going to win a GQP primary.

An auction was held Saturday, but FDIC rejected the bids.

They’re probably using eBay and set the minimum bid too high.

How much do you want to bet Kaitlin Collins will be canned before Don Lemon? Her lack of joy and unsmiling face show how angry she is to be saddled with such stupid right leaning nonsense day in day out. Nobody who works at CNN signed up for this kind of propaganda and it must absolutely suck.

Yah all their candidates so far are pretty cartooney and outlandish. I do think DeathSentence and TFG are a threat to democracy, but they're such strutting peacocks that they're both menacing and kinda hilarious.

The ID thing sounds like the premise for some kind of heist movie: "They had the wrong chip. But she had the right dog!"

I've written thirty-seven books, one of which was bought and published. I'm now declaring myself a candidate for president of the United States.

OT but - have embedded tweets disappeared for anyone else? I used to see them with '/2019' inserted at random spots in the body of the tweet text; but now all I'm getting is None — (@).

I didn't know that about Cockburn. I relatively recently learned that Ralph is pronounced Rafe. It's no wonder we rebelled against the British.

I would be surprised if it is as pronounced now as it was long ago. If there are any Wonketeers who know about present-day Indian culture, it would be nice to hear what they think.

So excellent! Maybe he and my Ray could go on a road trip first. You know, a possum used to get into my house at night-- at least twice-- and he and Ray just walked around the living room together like pals. Anyway, I'd first report my cat missing and they'd bring me the dog, then we video them from behind as they run together over fields--- with a man's voice repeating the fabulous words. Unforgettable, really!

I just replied to GrannysKnitting about the same thing - I see them sometimes and not other times. They've disappeared for her though

That used to be the case here, more often in comments than articles. But now they're completely gone.

I hate that you made me look that up. Matt Walsh's idiotic own words make me want to do the same. Take my angry upvote for your phrase "dropkick him through the goalposts of life."

I think it's a Firefox issue. I noticed that on my phone, using DuckDuckGo, I briefly saw the 'none' placeholder but then the actual tweet showed up. So I guess if I want to know what they say, I have to switch to my phone!
