  1. And that's Kamala behind him in the red jacket! #katfid
  2. @Brisketexan, please pick up the burnt orange courtesy phone.
  3. MIT is not defunct, sir, and is one of the finest law schools in the country!
  4. Peyton has always struck me as quick-witted and funny, two traits that MAGAs do not possess.
  5. My lord, those kids next to her look miserable.
  6. Vance is going to follow Trump's lead and decline any opportunity to debate Walz.
  7. I would say he's used most of the RNC funds to pay his mounting legal fees, but it's out of character for Trump to pay his lawyers.
  8. This was likely a huge factor. Walz, and not Shapiro, gives Harris a better chance to win Michigan, if you really think the significant and vocal Muslim population in the state would sit out the election, or, even worse, vote for Trump, based on the singular issue of the Palestine/Israel war.
  9. It would be worth it to see Peyton and Eli work in subtle couch references.
  10. Just to be clear, you cried while eating the carbonara and reading Cloak Room.
  11. It's about time someone in the Harris campaign listened to me.
  12. On top of that, don't former Presidents (Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.) also get some level of SS protection? The idea of providing SS detail for two potential VP mates seems a bit much.
  13. Bumping to say that my wife and I absolutely loved Asheville and wished we could’ve stayed an extra day or two. It’s definitely a blue/lib hippie city, and has a feel of what Austin was like maybe 30-40 years ago, but much more diverse. Rhubarb was excellent, our favorite meal of the trip. Cucina 24 was also very good. Tupelo Honey, not so much. All Day Darling and Mother were solid brunch/lunch fare. Lots of great breweries (it seemed like the town had 100 of them) and bars in between. We loved Sovereign Remedies — thanks @Duane Moore — we met the owner, Charlie, who was a super friendly, and went back the second day. Speaking of which, it was one of the friendliest places I’ve been in recent memory. From hotel and restaurant staff to locals we walked past on the streets. Lots of “good morning,” “hi,” and friendly waves from strangers. Surprisingly, given the hippie vibe and decent amount of weed dispensaries, we smelled pot maybe once during all of our time walking the streets, unlike New York or New Orleans where you take a whiff every block. We’d love to go back, and take a few extra days to include a day trip for hiking. In my retirement fantasy where I can actually break free from Austin, Asheville is very high on our list. tl;dr version: Would bang Asheville again.
  14. I just signed up for the Steak Eaters For Harris Zoom call.
