To call something an 'enhanced interrogation technique' doesn't alter the fact that we thought it was torture when the Japanese used it on American prisoners, we thought it was torture when the North Koreans used it, we thought it was torture when the Soviets used it.

I just owe almost everything to my father and it's passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election. ↗

You can do almost anything with soup stock, it's like a strong foundation. When you have the right foundation, everything tastes good. ↗

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety. ↗

Almost everything I tried out for I pretty much got. I landed Power Rangers, and the rest is history. ↗
