I think balsamic vinegar works best.

Yeah I buy maybe 2 £4 bottles of washing liquid a year, because I put in like 1/4 of what it tells me to.

So honestly making my own just isn't worth the time.

This isn't the first time I've had to debunk this and unfortunately probably won't be the last.

This case had nothing to do with the pug or the salute, he faced charges because he made a video where he repeatedly said "g*s the Jews" which is an explicit call to racial violence.

And while we might be able to look at that specific case and agree that it wasn't meant seriously, as soon as you set that president any hate group will start spouting genuine calls to violence and just stick a funny dog video with it and make the argument it's just a joke too. So we either set strict standard that makes it very hard to get away with actual calls for a second holocaust, but catches one guy just making s joke as well, or we make it so the one guy making a joke is fine, but let's Nazis call for the death of undesirables without consequence.

If you vilify everyone that differs from you in the slightest, you are a detriment to your own cause.

"In the slightest" being centrist code for "who counts as a human being" and "does bombing hospitals and starving children count as genocide"

Nobody is vilifying someone because they have different opinions on the importance of reading Shakespeare in high-school, or if they think, big centralised public libraries are a better option to lots of smaller public libraries.

This is just the quintessential enlightened centrist argument, reducing down serious issues about basic fundamental morals into just "disagreement"

I will still support it to get the normies off of twitter.

I mean, things have different meanings depending on your local culture. I think it's much rarer for normal people to get tattoos in El Salvador than where you love.

The picture on the left is from when the prison first opened, so won't show any of the deportees

For the time being, sure. I dint think democracy is a binary. Democracy doesn't imply a fair system or universal suffrage or a system where power is split.

Like for example the Vatican is a absolute monarchy and also a democracy.

Nah republicans would be like "oh I'm Irish too." And blindly support anything anti-british "cuz 1776"
