Death by a thousand cuts?

The straw that broke the camel's back?

A little of both.

You tend to do what the people around you do. If I'm in a religious person's home I'm going to act differently than I would in a rowdy bar.

Of course they don't want the people in deep Red States to have access to new ideas.

Got my aunt's rotary phone in the closet.

I have two. Ginger beer tastes great, and it's helpful if you've got a cold or stomach ache.

It's a 'soft drink' only because it doesn't have alcohol. Manhattan Special Espresso soda. I'd see the old Italian men drinking it when they played bocce. Three bottles have enough caffeine to give you heart palpitations.

I loved 'The Rockford Files' when I was growing up.

Rewatch and notice that they used exact amounts of money in the dialog. "Hey, this is a $75.00 jacket" or "$5 for a martini?"

They don't do that anymore, because prices from even five years ago seem insane.

In terms of clichés, I'd go with 'they see the glass as half empty.'

Not exact, but close enough

It's like any other skill. If you keep it up you'll remain proficient and if you don't it'll eventually fade away.

That's the amazing thing about Trump.

No matter how low the bar is, he always manages to be worse than you could imagine.

I've been hoping for his people to see the light since 2015.

They stuck with him when he admitted that Trump University was a scam...

They stuck with him when Mexico didn't pay for the Wall...

They stuck with him when a million people died of Covid...

I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

I was living in New York when the Tower first went up. When I was in the area I decided to stroll in and see what the controversy was about. At street level it's just black glass. Inside it's all gold with a waterfall. I thought it looked like a big golden toilet.

Trump went on Howard Stern and boasted about barging into the dressing rooms at the Miss Teen USA pageant. He famously perved on his own daughter. This is nothing new
