It was pronounced like "Oon SOO Ray"

I believe he didn't officially hold office, but was an African warlord with American citizenship.

The first attempted Muslim takeover of the party, iirc.
 
The debate tonight. I am torn. As I was last election.

I am a Republican and believe in most of what they stand for.

But Bernie Sanders would probably improve my life with socialism.

I mean, really, why do i need to go to the ER and be instructed to say something so that i can be seen for something else.

TLDR: This world sucks.
 
why do presidents always get a dog? i want one that gets a cat.

Just wear an ICE uniform to the ER next time and watch how quickly the waiting room thins out.

Buttigieg strikes me as a cat guy....

I don't think pussies are his thing.
 
tbh i just wanna be left alone.

but if bernie will get rid of my college debt, give me free healthcare.....strategically wise this is a good decision.

Im like a cat. Survival is the goal.
 
What flavor profiles would you assign to your top three candidates?

Inspired by the description of klochubar as sour.

Teddy had a lot of pets. I always liked the names his children gave the guinea pigs, and their bear, Jonathan Edwards-

Our 26th President, Theodore Roosevelt, began his Presidency in 1901, along with six children and more animals than the White House had ever seen. The Roosevelt children's family of pets included a small bear named Jonathan Edwards; a lizard named Bill; guinea pigs named Admiral Dewey, Dr. Johnson, Bishop Doane, Fighting Bob Evans, and Father O'Grady; Maude the pig; Josiah the badger; Eli Yale the blue macaw; Baron Spreckle the hen; a one-legged rooster; a hyena; a barn owl; Peter the rabbit; and Algonquin the pony. President Roosevelt loved the pets as much as his children did. Algonquin was so beloved that when the President's son Archie was sick in bed, his brothers Kermit and Quentin brought the pony up to his room in the elevator. But Algonquin was so captivated by his own reflection in the elevator mirror that it was hard to get him out!

Bernie- Dusty. Definitely left in the pantry too long
Biden- Bitter. Being blamed for his best friend's Obama policies that are no longer progressive enough

And of course, Harris- Chocolate
