I get that he’s taken it all back, including when he said he feared Trump would be America’s Hitler, but I guess my position is… I have never gone to work for someone I’ve ever in any point in my life compared directly to Adolf Hitler… and it’s a fair question… www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

When Luke Skywalker tries to use the Jedi mind trick on Jabba the Hutt, it fails; Obi-Wan did tell him, after all, that it would only work on the “weak-minded.” And yet it works, without fail, on *every single stormtrooper* in the entire franchise. ACAB includes Star Wars.

Hi, I’m Sam Handwich, owner and founder of Sam Handwich’s Ham Sandwiches. When my father gave me this name, I vowed to one day kill him. I’ve harnessed that anger into a passion for quality meat and deli products, and I’m here today to tell you about our new spring menu
