Seen at the grocery

I’m all for a dish soap that removes tough stains, but if you really want to claim to be a grown-up and with the exception of certain reasonable extenuating circumstances, you shouldn’t have dishes that have been lying around with food stuck on them for 24 hours.

It’s no longer called “Election Day”, it’s now called “Taco Tuesday”!

Last night, in what will likely be remembered as a defining moment in this gong show of an election, Marco Gutierrez, founder of Latinos for Trump (talk about working against your own self-interest!) gave an intended-to-be-ominous warning that there would be “taco trucks on every corner” if the short-finger orange vulgarian didn’t become president.

Here are captioned still frames from that moment:

Simply put, what he’s saying is: “I come from a people who need to be brought under control.”

This Tio Tomas is a racist campaigner’s wet dream: a member of a visible minority who’s only too happy to share his self-loathing to further promote the idea of the white male as the preferred default person. I hope he doesn’t like tacos, because I can’t imagine that there are too many taco places that would be willing to serve him after that statement.

…my first thought was “Hey, I’d love to have a taco truck on my corner!” Besides, it would go well with our local ice cream place:

I’m not the only one who expressed that sentiment…

…and in the end, it looks like the day of the election — Tuesday, November 8, 2016 — shall henceforth be known as Taco Tuesday!
