She isn't the brightest. She is also one of the senators pushing Digital ID in the form of "Age Verification" laws.

I wish I knew the person that said crushing fortune cookies is a good strategy. Any action could be considered racist against others.

She voted to certify the 2020 election, which bothers me infinitely more than this.

Fortune cookies are crisp, sugary wafer cookies made from a batter of flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil, containing a folded paper message inside. Although commonly served in Chinese restaurants in the US and other Western countries, they are not of Chinese origin; they likely originated from cookies made by Japanese immigrants in the late 19th or early 20th century.

The modern fortune cookie industry was transformed in the late 1960s by the invention of the fortune cookie machine by Edward Louie, which enabled mass production and lowered costs. Approximately 3 billion fortune cookies are produced globally each year, with the majority consumed in the United States. They are widely available in bulk and individually wrapped packages for retail, parties, and Chinese New Year celebrations

My favorite fortune: You will eat at a Chinese restaurant soon.

Strong message. Now we just need a tough investigative reporter to ask how she feels about almond cookies.

This campaign could get messy.
