Kids in the 1960s were the same, and the USA still sent them off to get killed, maimed, and traumatized for the rest of their lives.

Most people know what it means, I think. Still, no shame in not knowing.

I'm not the person you were asking, but:

Cash back credit cards reward you by refunding a percentage of your purchases made using the card. You can use this refund as a credit towards your monthly balance or as cash deposited into your bank account. Some cards offer a flat percentage on all purchases, while others offer higher percentages on select categories.

Of course, they wouldn't be doing this if you weren't paying them at least the refunded amount somewhere else - through fees, or through people's average interest payments, or through price increases applied by the stores to cover the fees they pay to the credit card companies.

And when the police arrived they started questioning him about whether he agreed with Trump on deportations and Gaza. The police questioning people on their political views seems to be becoming standard in the USA.

“Why are they saying you pushed a priest?”

“They were trying to pull me away from the pulpit. I grabbed the pulpit and just held on. I didn’t push anyone. They had four guys grabbing me and dragging me off there.”

“What made you want to preach today?” “I’m worried about human beings, our brothers and sisters who live within our midst and are being targeted by the government.”

“What do you consider to be targeted by the government? What class of people are you …”

“Undocumented immigrants.”

“So you don’t agree with deportations and things like that?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Did you say anything like that?”

“I didn’t even get there.”

Looking at a copy of Gillcrist’s prepared remarks, the officer said, “So I see you mention Gaza and Ukraine in here. What’s your message with that?”

“They’re our brothers and sisters. When we stop seeing people that way it’s so easy to start making laws or enacting policies that harm them.”

Yes, Interac debit is an alternative in many situations, and that's a Canadian company.

Deep down, he knows, and it torments him. Unfortunately he's rich enough to take it out on the world.

I don't know, most middle schoolers learn and grow out of it. MAGAs are not up to that level.

What a terrible thing. I do hope this doesn't start happening regularly, every few days.

Well that sounds like an efficient use of the remnants of the department.

Bad guys are endorsing the bad guys. Don't vote for the bad guys.

"It is time to arrest those funding the attacks," he wrote. "Arresting their puppets and paid foot-soldiers won’t stop the violence."

How much funding does he think it takes to get people to protest against the world's most publicly obnoxious Nazi?
