No one with an education will be allowed to work. No one willing to work the fields will be allowed to work.

The GOP wants the US to be stupid and hungry.

It reminds me of the scene in _Goodfellas_ where they take over partial interest in a restaurant and proceed to sell booze out the back and run up ridiculous amounts of debt and then set a convenient fire.

You’re surprised that none of these women made a middle-finger gesture during an official White House visit?

That cite preview says “Video unavailable” for me. I suspect the url you want is

Thanks.  
Odd, though, considering I tried the URL in a different browser and worked. 🤷‍♂️

IME there are often preview problems with YouTube vids when the url parameters include lists, or channels, or sharing IDs or other mumbo jumbo. They’re sure to work if the url only has the basic video ID like:  
`https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK_V0t0KmiQ` or equivalently `https://www.youtu.be/EK_V0t0KmiQ`  
and optionally a start time.

So all I did was trim out everything except the video ID and the start time you included. Often that other mumbo jumbo is only valid in the context of your login. So it’ll look fine to you, but anybody else gets an unavailable message and clicking through just drops them at the YouTube homepage with no idea what content they’re supposed to be seeing.

I wonder if it’s location-based. I’m in Kentucky, and had no problem clicking that link and watching the video.

Visiting a known rapist under duress? That kind of overrides and “official” anything, especially in this White House. Any respect or dignity are long gone.

That one didn’t work for me, either. Could it be John Mulaney’s routine? (Language warning)

How awesome is it that that I had to scroll back to see if your post had been put by **Der.Trihs**?
