Title leaves out “or passport.”

In a push to get you to think you must have a Real ID, I’ve noticed the media constantly leaves out or minimizes the fact that a passport is sufficient to get you through an airport or any other place a Real ID is required.

So no extra fee of you have a passport.

Like the show, The Last Man on Earth. I’d take that deal.

Have you tried a Shandy? It’s beer mixed with lemonade or orange juice. It’s delicious.

Of course you’re right, and I would argue that calling a woman a “fat, ugly pig” stems from the associations I point out.

The pig insult is so common, I think we’re all trying to understand why such a common and known insult would be so much more shocking to us. It isn’t just because it comes from a sitting US president. Trump is known for his viscous insults and we’ve all heard them.

Saying, “quiet, piggy” was a mask slip more revealing than many of us can even consciously comprehend.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s when it was acceptable for parents to physically beat their children, and when when I saw this clip of Trump it shocked me because the look on his face, the finger pointing, and the sound of his voice was exactly how my father looked and sounded right before he would take off his belt to beat us with it. I can’t be the only one who has these memories.

Also using the word “piggy” is revealing of how he sees people. Pigs are associated with slaughter and murder in nearly all of our stories. We kill and eat pigs. The upper classes see the rest of us as pigs to harvest and slaughter and consume. In their eyes how dare a lowly pig meant for their dinner plates question them and talk back to them. What Trump did and said revealed all this horror.

Yeah. The minute I read the title I thought, Please don’t tell me they’re sticking cameras on these poor creatures. It disturbs me that no scientists seem to care about strapping cameras to wild creatures and what effect that has on their already difficult lives.

Even if they convince themselves that what they’re doing is somehow necessary they could at the very least admit the harm they are doing to the animal.
