Wow. All these years I thought it was Fruit Loops. Clearly, I am not as up to date as I should be on my children's cereals.

I'll shoot an email over to Kelloggs and have them rebrand their product to conform to what I thought it was because anything else happening would mean that I was in the wrong and that's not a rational thing to have happen.

This is actually an example of the Mandela Effect:

Thanks. I didn't realize that my error was a result of Donald Trump travelling through time and changing things (that's the gist I got from that article - it's an accurate summary, right?). It's nice to know that this is just one more thing I can blame Trump for.

The way the cereal is spelled is different than how the figurative term "fruit loop" is spelled.

That's what it was called in the other timeline.

To be fair, though, this timeline has two little fruit loops be the O's in Froot Loop, which is quite clever. Also, I have a hot wife and two great kids now, as opposed to dying alone in an alley from cirrhosis of the liver while crying about how empty, lonely and meaningless my existence was - as I'm quite certain my first attempt at life would have ended up. So, it's not ALL bad.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "When “centrists” care more about the GOP base than the Dem base, bigotry gets legitimized. This is *the* playbook. GOP does it w/ virtually every Dem figure who isn’t a white male: otherize, demonize + splinter. It’s vital that we adapt & dismantle this approach, not cow to it.… https://t.co/NnrXXqyB03" noting David Atkins #11Justices on Twitter: "It's interesting to see centrists suddenly downplay or ignore the effects of racism, sexism and Fox News targeting when discussing @AOC's overall approval ratings."

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "White supremacists committed the largest # of extremist killings in 2017. What the President is saying here: “if you engage in violent acts of white supremacy, I will look the other way.” Understand that this is deliberate. This is why we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.… https://t.co/DxwH1SAlbU" noting Southern Poverty Law Center on Twitter: "Reporter: "Do you see white nationalism as a rising threat around the world?" Trump: "I don't really." We saw a nearly 50% increase in white nationalist hate groups between 2017 and 2018. [url]https://t.co/LMTb73Nxzt… https://t.co/qXfJGIOBUU"[/url]
Why does the pResident find it so hard to object to white-supremacist terrorism? It's like he has to be dragged into doing so -- dragged kicking and screaming.

A one-item multi-trillion dollar data entry error that their system is so fucked up it's very hard to fix.

It's you who can't face the reality that she's a complete froot loop!

fruit

Loopy fruit. Perhaps Kellogs should rename their breakfast cereal. Loopy Froots with mixed nuts added!

I can see why leftists love this fruit cake/loopy-loop. But like all loopy socialists, sooner or later, they run out of other people's money. Even though she thinks it's all Trump's fault because he hasn't planted more money trees.

Seems like projection, because the Right wants war after war after war, while not wanting to pay a penny to finance those wars. As AOC notes, we always seem to be able to find the money to pay for "unliimited war".

I look at the wealth gap currently in the USA - you have already ran out of other people’s money.

Also, if AOC were more outspoken about her socialism, she would explain how it's not "other people's money". Money is just the tangible, exchangeable form of the value we place on goods and services, and all of that value is the product of labor. Taxing the rich to pay for social services is taking back the money that should have been in the hands of the workers they exploit and (ideally) using it to further the interests of the workers themselves. Of course, when this is enacted by states that are intertwined with capital, the social services most often further the interests of capital first, with any benefit to workers being a side effect.

The price America and it's " true" allies must pay for being the world's policeman.

By that reasoning, there would be precious little if any corporations big and small left at all to provide workers with any income. But according to idiots like AOC and Sanders, money grows on trees, so no business entrepreneurs are required anyway!

uh, paper comes from trees

let's put it this way. would you say you came from your parents or from your workplace?
