Of course you're right, and I would argue that calling a woman a "fat, ugly pig" stems from the associations I point out.

The pig insult is so common, I think we're all trying to understand why such a common and known insult would be so much more shocking to us. It isn't just because it comes from a sitting US president. Trump is known for his viscous insults and we've all heard them.

Saying, "quiet, piggy" was a mask slip more revealing than many of us can even consciously comprehend.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s when it was acceptable for parents to physically beat their children, and when when I saw this clip of Trump it shocked me because the look on his face, the finger pointing, and the sound of his voice was exactly how my father looked and sounded right before he would take off his belt to beat us with it. I can't be the only one who has these memories.

Also using the word "piggy" is revealing of how he sees people. Pigs are associated with slaughter and murder in nearly all of our stories. We kill and eat pigs. The upper classes see the rest of us as pigs to harvest and slaughter and consume. In their eyes how dare a lowly pig meant for their dinner plates question them and talk back to them. What Trump did and said revealed all this horror.

Not where I am. They turned off the old ones--even the ones that were in parks. I see one here and there but they used to be literally everywhere. Every store had one either inside or out front. Every park had them. Every downtown area had them at every block.

How do you mesmerize a port a potty? I'm almost afraid to ask, but here I am lol

Yeah. The minute I read the title I thought, Please don't tell me they're sticking cameras on these poor creatures. It disturbs me that no scientists seem to care about strapping cameras to wild creatures and what effect that has on their already difficult lives.

Even if they convince themselves that what they're doing is somehow necessary they could at the very least admit the harm they are doing to the animal.

Is this Image from the old film called SSSSSSSS ? That movie freaked me out. It's about an old guy doing illegal research on snakes out of his home lab and he convinces this naive young guy to participate in his experiments. You can guess it doesn't go well. And you can also guess what he does to anyone that crosses him. The young guy was played by Dirk Benedict who later played Face on The A-Team tv show.

Not only were there public pay phones everywhere, but if you dialed zero, a person we called The Operator would immediately answer and you could ask them to look up a phone number for you or ask them to dial a number for you. This operator would pick up when you dialed zero from your home landline too.

Wait until you find out about all the free water fountains literally everywhere so if you were thirsty you could just stop and get an ice cold drink of water and go about your day.

Ha! Now do doorbells.

Are you scared?

This isn't even his final form.

Now do two weeks worth!
