  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. I just signed up for the Steak Eaters For Harris Zoom call.
  4. This is sort of my mom George W. Bush drove her from the Republican Party, long before Trump had the chance. 2008 was the first time I openly heard her openly talk about and be excited to vote for a Democrat. I hope more olds like your mom are seeing the light with Trump. But then I look at my dad . . . .
  5. She better love it, because an illegal from Guatemala is about to take it.
  6. And if he’ll still love them if they turn Indian later in life.
  7. But Fuckstick O'Reilly doubles down on the GOP narrative that biracial Americans must chose and identify with one -- and only one -- race or ethnicity, and anything otherwise is "phony." Fuck them. Every one.
  8. This is the perfect opportunity for the Democrats to up their grifting game. Republicans have dominated this field for far too long.
  9. If Vance gets the boot, I don't think Donald, Jr. can keep his mouth shut about it.
  10. A two-yard out to John Chiles every now and then would be good to change it up and keep the Trump defense on its heels.
