  1. The job of President of the United States is probably the hardest job in the world. Donald Trump’s current job is easy as fuck.
  2. sign me up
  3. I guess, if watching as no one does anything about it except wring their hands and talk about it, is amazing.
  4. 100% of Republicans do believe every word that comes out of his mouth, so he’s not all that far off.
  5. And by then it will be too late, if it’s not already. Which it probably is.
  6. I’m still staying involved in a lot of ways, and I’ll go down trying, but ... Trump just said he would accept assistance from a foreign power, and the Republican traitors just blocked efforts to curb foreign interference in the elections (again). So yeah, I’m struggling to find a single thing to be optimistic about. In fact, this is the kind of stuff that makes an overthrow, by force if necessary, completely justified. It’s been justified since Helsinki +1 at the latest point in time. It’s just amazing to me that no one is doing a damn thing of any consequence about organized treason that’s occurring right out in the open.
  7. He’s correct, and this is a part of why Trump will be in office in 2021 and well beyond - no matter what - unless he dies first. People think the Democrats are going to show up at the polls and “vote him out of office,” and the system will work, and he’ll just hand over the keys? Okaayyy. He’s not going anywhere. 100% of Republicans will be fine with a completely fraudulent “re-election.”
  8. He’s a gigantic pussy. Probably the biggest one on this site.
  9. “Is she eligible to run in Texas?” - @Johnny Sack
  10. “Is she eligible to run in Texas?” - @Johnny Sack
  11. “If Trump had done anything wrong he would have been in prison by now. He’s not, so obviously he has done nothing wrong whatsoever. I’m totally not a Trump supporter, though.” - Slorch, and tens of millions of Republicans.
  12. 100% of Republicans act in bad faith and against the country’s interests, 100% of the time.
  13. Hallstatt was cool. We rerouted to Salzburg and spent the afternoon and early evening there instead of Berchtesgaden as it was my understanding that the last bus up to the Eagle’s Nest would have been after the time we arrived. So we will do Berchtesgaden as a separate day trip from Munich. We have another day dedicated to doing both castles, leaving early in the AM for Neuschwanstein. Heading to Lucerne for a week from here with a decent amount of open time on the calendar if anyone has any particularly great reccs there (esp. restaurants). I know we are doing the Old Swiss House one night for tableside schnitzel and Prisma another night. Will take at least a couple day trips from Lucerne - looking at Basel and Bern but all flexible. *thanks to OP for letting me piggyback here
  14. No, no it isn’t. I suppose you could “literally write” whatever you wanted to, but that does not mean that it would be true, or that it would match my experience, which is far from isolated, and ... is actually true. They are the worst group of tourists and travelers, by far. (Not) sorry if you don’t like that.
  15. is it? the universal commonality I have experienced in the 25+ countries I have traveled to for pleasure in the last 8 years or so is how awful the tourists from Asian countries behave, particularly the Chinese. Others have touched on it here, but they will straight up push an old lady out of the way to get to what they want to see, cut in clearly demarcated lines to go straight to the front, ram a stroller into you without saying a word, jam their selfie sticks straight in your face, hop fences to get in prohibited areas to get pictures of themselves taken, take videos and pictures where there are signs prohibiting it everywhere, it goes on and on. the first experience I have with one who has any courtesy, manners, or sense of self-awareness, their surroundings, or local customs, will be my first. what I also find bizarre is how they walk up to a painting or piece of art, snap a picture with their phone or iPad and move on to the next one without even looking at the piece itself, even for a second, ad infinitum. couldn’t they just ... buy a book, or look at it on the internet? wtf.
  16. All of this. Better yet, ban all tourists from Asian countries. All problems solved.
  17. we are driving over to Munich from Vienna a little later today with stops in Hallstatt and Berchtesgaden. we are going to Ratskeller one night, and Pageou another night, which looks really interesting. gf is a little burned out on Bavarian food after five days in Austria 😕 so we’ll see about the rest. *comment above about the Asian tourists is spot on. the one thing that is universal in all my travels overseas over the years is that they will fucking straight up ruin your life. edit: just saw Ray’s post - will take the Munchner’s recommendation and hit Spöckmeier. looks booked up every evening we are there, but can make it for lunch on Friday.
  18. not a single person who identifies as a Republican at this juncture will. not one. you’ll be less disappointed later if you just accept this fact now.
  19. He’s sitting there holding a phone with no one on the other end, directing the photographer as he poses - “this is what someone smart and important looks like in pictures” Photographer: “whatever you say, sir.” /rolls eyes @Johnny Sack: “Donald Trump is smart and important. And frankly, he’s doing a great job.”
  20. “But it makes liberals mad, so we win.” -Republicans
  21. hey, we found FCHorn!
