He dropped little jujubes of it amid the torrent of exhausted bigotry that seemed to bore even himself. There was a long stretch of threadbare immigrant-bashing during which he looked like a tired cabaret performer flogging his way through his Cole Porter Medley at a roadside Holiday Inn lounge. But then, he'd toss in something like this: "Actually, as you know, they just lost the White House, but it's one of those. But who knows? Who knows, I may even decide to beat them for a third time, okay?" and "Had we had a fair election, the results would have been much different, and we would have had a deal." And everyone in the crowd would sit up a little straighter, the enforced torpor of the event dissipating, and the cheers would sound more authentic and heartfelt because his audience knew they were getting the real stuff at last.

It can, however, buy your next favorite pair of WFH sweat shorts or the latest version of the walking shoes you now have reason to wear—and you don't even need a whole heap of it, either.

Here's What to Get.   So you've decided to grow a beard. Or maybe you recently grew one. Hell, maybe you've had a beard for so long that you can't even recall when you first embraced your facial hair. No matter how long you've had it, though, there's one thing that's certain: Your beard needs oil. Because a beard needs to be cultivated. Groomed. Tamed and maintained. But more than all that, a beard needs to be nourished. And that means it needs hydration. A good beard oil will give you just that, plus it'll smell good, help shape your facial hair and control flyaways, and protect you from the dreaded phenomenon known as "beardruff." In fact, if you're going to invest in just one product for your beard, it should be beard oil. It's a wonder product, as impressive in its utility as it is in its simplicity. You just rub it into your facial hair (more on that in a moment) and suddenly your beard is softer, scratch-free, and ready for primetime. Here's what you need to know to get the most out of the most important thing you can put on that beard you love so much. Because that whisper on the wind was right: It is pretty sweet, bro.
