Presently sitting in my boat in Narragansett Bay just outside of Bristol Harbor, home of the oldest continuously held Independence Day parade and known as the most patriotic city listening to a half dozen or more simultaneous fireworks displays booming around the bay for more than an hour, reflecting on America with many mixed emotions.

To clarify, I wasn't there.

She wanted me to seek him out.

At first it was like "eh, whatever", but now it's like your ex-wife is insane.

I definitely don’t think less of you for not seeking out getting stabbed over your then future ex-wife.

If you mean Ethiopian food, and you've never had it before, it's awesome. I recommend it.

itt i learned dodger's ex wife is ratchet AF

^true story, my wife's bff from med school is ethiopian

Ex wives.

I made some choices in my life; they were hot tho.

Not a fan of Ethiopian food, when I tutored the kids would bring me those meat pastry triangle things and I couldn’t be rude and refuse. Maybe it was the seasoning or something but they were awful.

Iirc Ethiopian coffee is the best in the world, and perhaps where all beans strains originate from?

Yeah, I am feeling close to 0 patriotism today. A lot has happened in the last two years to make me really question whether it's even possible for my neighbors and I to be patriotic about the same thing. How do I enjoy a fireworks display in my local city knowing that 60% of the people on the grass with me would have supported Japanese internment had they been alive in the 40's, or supported the holocaust had they been alive in Hitler's Germany.

It's no fun being patriotic amongst a bunch of people who just want to bend over and lick the boots of a god king who has somehow gotten control of the country you want to be patriotic about.

Weird. I can assure you there are zero racists Trumpets in Clackamas county.

I think Bruiser linked some of his alt-right articles here in the past.

Declaration of Independence tweets confuse Donald Trump supporters

thats from last year, but i'd be shocked if it didn't happen again this year

Seems to be less of it. Maybe NPR deleted most of the Trump fits.

He must have brought a hoodie for when he goes to the restaurant

Yglesias on point as always

Let's not miss the fact he of course has a camo hat, and unfortunately also appears to have a baby.

Also convinced that Wyoming is overpopulated.
