Anyone seen the behind-Trump photo of his crowd that has the same crew photoshopped into 4 different spots near the front? -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 8, 11:04 [Attachment] 3
- I saw it but I did not see proof of where Trump had posted it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 8, 11:11

    - I can get behind this -- nm - Epiphany Aug 8, 11:10 1
      - I agree with Beakcumber -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 11:28
- thousand island is aight but better on burgers than salads. lemon/balsamic vinegrette is usually my go-to -- nm - mr mooch Aug 8, 11:02 1
  - Ever since learning how to DIY, buying bottles is stupid. Tip, dilute the vinegar, mix a tspoon of honey mustard before mixing oil. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 11:52
