He has helped clean out people's Facebook friends and my cousin's wife who is Indian and Muslim got to see who her true friends are. She was worried for herself and her kids even though they are US citizens.

My FaceBook friends page has shortened a lot since Trump took office as well.

An Hispanic guy who makes Hispanic food supporting Trump is kinda like a Black joining the KKK. But whatever.

I quite agree. I can't believe how many of us are said to be Trump supporters [if polling is accurate, it's over a third of Hispanic voters]. My oldest friend [known him since first grade] is also Hispanic and unlike me, was a lifelong moderate Republican. He isn't one anymore [he isn't a Republican anymore, I'm pretty sure he's still Puerto Rican].


There was actually a black person who would attend KKK rally events.

So thank you Trump for curing me of my awful Trump Bull addiction. Now I have became a Rockstar addict and they have a lot more flavors than a lousy Trump Bull.

My daughter came up with the name Trump Bull.

That's hilarious! I dig your daughter's sense of humor. I am a big fan of the Monster energy coffee fusion [especially coffee w\Irish Creme] drinks, though I rarely drink any energy drinks myself. I'm given to understand that Irish breakfast tea has slightly more caffeine than English breakfast tea, FYI. What worries me about energy drinks isn't the caffeine, it's the "trade secret patented ingredients", many of which originate in Columbia... Hmm.... :scratch:


None of my kids like Trump but they are pretty woke.

I remember a black guy who used to wear a grey confederate infantry uniform and wave a confederate battle flag in various locations in this part of the Southeast. He claimed that he had an ancestor who fought for the CSA and still proudly proclaimed that the flag was about "heritage, not hate". There's also the blind klansman character that Dave Chapelle used to play.... :lol:

Good parenting. :heart: In the words of the late, great George Carlin, "Teach your kids to read, but also to question EVERYTHING they read."

Back in the Eighties I read that there were drinks made in Japan that contained "caffeine, ginseng, and other ingredients that speeded up matabolism" that Japanese business executives would drink so they could work through the night. This was back when Americans feared Japan as an unstoppable business juggernaut.

Then years later you first began to see "energy drinks" advertised and sold here in the US. So I figured that these Redbull type drinks must be an American copy of that Japanese idea.

Red Bulls actually come from Austria and didn't enter the US till 1997 even though the drink was created in 1987.

Funny enough, I never cared for energy drinks and I used to just have a 5 hour energy from time to time as an adult when I would do long car drives or didn't get enough sleep and one time I bought myself a orange juice energy drink before my long drive home from Montana as a young adult. Then my husband started to buy me sugar free Red Bulls in 2018 and before I knew it, I was addicted to them and would mentally crave one. Then I would get massive headaches if I hadn't had one in a few days.

I told my husband about Pepsi Co being owned by someone who works for Trump and they also own Rockstar so my husband bought me a Monster when he went grocery shopping. :lol:

I then told him just now that AT&T supports Trump and he said "we can't help that, I am not changing phones again." :lol:

I see another good thing about Trump here, he can help cure people of their shopping addiction. :lol: If there are lot of businesses out there that support him or sells his daughter's products, or sells MAGA stuff like Amazon does, that would give shopaholics an opportunity to work on their shopping addiction and be cured from it. :lol:

That's good but hopefully you cut down on the caffeine, it's not good for you.

Red Bull was hugely popular at my sixth form until rumours started to go round that it lowers your sperm count. No idea if that is actually true.

Does the caffeine make the sperm swim faster?
