    Ha, ha. I've been avoiding the football board and recruiting board for the last two weeks. I'm tempted, but not stupid enough to visit. I'll wait until after we beat tech.

    You're gonna stay off those boards for TWO YEARS?  Man, that's some self-discipline.

    Seriously.  At this point, I'm actually kind of surprised that Dotard and his followers haven't said that it's SUPER-important that we re-elect Trump to protect us from evil gang members who put AIDS-infected needles  in the coin return slots of payphones and who flash their headlights at people in a gang initiation, which are totally things that are happening RIGHT NOW.

    Make sure she knows the difference.  Shepherd's pie uses lamb.  If she's using ground beef, she's making a cottage pie.

    And if she flavors it with the blood of her enemies, she's making the Viking variant.

  4. In summary, fuck being civil to your club.  You traffic in lies and cruelty, shrug your shoulders and laugh.  Your grandchildren are going to find out about what you supported, and they are going to be disgusted by their grandfather.  Your legacy will be shame and disgust.  All of it deserved.  That ain't whack job -- that's reading the writing on the wall.  Written in blood shed by your club.  They aren't waiting for the 2020 election.  They're taking action now, and they have been for some time.

    This is the conservative equivalent of Liberals saying they’ll move to Canada. Yawn. 

    Got it.  Liberals talk about moving, conservatives talk about murder.  Seems pretty equivalent.

    You are a member of a fucking death cult.

    Even as someone who despises trump and will never vote republican again in my life, I think this is going too far. 

    First of all for me personally, my Dad is a trumpkin and I’m not gonna cut off all relations with him just because he got brainwashed in old age and I didn’t do anything to stop it.

    Also one of my best friends who I’ve known from the sixth grade is a trumpkin. Somewhat ironically he is Hispanic, family from the border, not wealthy. What I do when I see him is as long as he’s not with his wife (who is a trumpkin herself and would get upset) is I give him tons of shit about it unmercifully, and finally get him to admit that trump is corrupt. He of course falls back to the all politicians are corrupt schtick. 

    I can get away with it because I’ve known him forever and we go way back. Point is you shouldn’t not engage at all. People are just ignorant. 

    Counterpoint -- life is too short to waste it trying to convince shitty people not to be shitty.  I felt the way you did in the beginning of this admin.  Today, sorry, there's no excuse.  People who support evil aren't worth my time or energy.  I have enough decent people in my life who deserve my attention and time.

    when it comes to trump, i tried to be open minded. the time for that is over. you support trump, i think you are a mindless fucking moron. full stop.

    This.  I've cut off family ties, and effectively ended friendships.  I have no regrets.  There's no civility or conversation with folks willing to tolerate (for example) a regime that is guided by an open white nationalist (Stephen Miller).  I can't do it.

    Likewise.  My mom went to Woodstock...with photos to prove it...and voted for Trump.  I'm not sure of her current stance because we don't talk about it, but I know she watches Fox all day, so I'm pretty sure which way the wind blows in that house.

    If you look at the overlap of much of that movement (not all of it, but much of it), it was based on selfishness and self-indulgence.  Free love and let's do all the drugs weren't exactly movements meant to better other people -- they were meant to satisfy individual wants and desires.  And the impact on anyone else be damned.   

    So, "I deserve everything that I want, nobody better threaten that, and to hell with everyone else."  That might as well be the Trumpism motto, and it overlaps perfectly with a sizable percentage of the Woodstock generation.

    Selfishness and narcissism are the bedrock values of generation Trump.

  9. I had haggis, and loved it. It's like boudin for inherently violent people.

    Yep. My whole family loves it. My kids are Mexican Coonass Scots, so they were destined to love it.

    My daughter visited Edinburgh solo when looking at colleges. She waited at the World’s End to be seated for a dinner of haggis, neeps and tatties, and sticky toffee pudding. She got much respek from the bar staff.

  10. Oh, and the only things on that list I HAVEN'T had: Lancashire hotpot, steak and kidney pudding, laver bread, and jellied eels (although I have had eels several different ways).  And most of the rest of the stuff on that list, I really like.  There's a couple that I'm just okay on, but the rest, I genuinely like.
