  1. So, we’re not just threatening to wage war against our allies, we’re also stealing their money directly. We have a lawless, criminal, homicidal regime. If the rest of the world declared war on us, they wouldn’t be wrong to do so.
  2. F that “beans on toast” shit.
  3. That ain’t wrong. We invited friends and family from several countries to come visit for the World Cup - planning on renting houses, showing them a Texas good time, all that. They are already being negatively impacted by this admin (see post above about revoked school admission). They are justifiably nervous about coming here.
  4. Not unfair. Made three pieces for the wife, I chose to go with the black pudding as my main breakfast meat dish…but I needed at least one piece. For science.
  5. The appropriate amount of jelly/jam is always “more.”
  6. Who could have predicted legislating medical decisions would end poorly for Texas women? No, Dan. “Women have died” is passive voice. “Because Republicans have killed numerous Texas women” is active voice, and more accurate. Do better, Dan.
  7. You know how much jelly you should put on toast? More.
  8. Broke out the M&S black pudding for breakfast this morning. Went full international. Added eggs with red chili and toast with French strawberry preserves.

  10. Have been going to the bar at the Monteleone for 50+ years (yeah, my folks would drag me along as a child). Cleaning out my parents’ house, found my grandmother’s 1930 Ursuline yearbook, which featured this ad:
  11. It ain’t HEB, and it’s not exactly the same….but I actually may like it better: Made a simple stir fry the other night, sprinkled that liberally on top, and it was amazing.
  12. So, this is fun. Message I just got from our German friends/family: “Hello Brisket, we received some bad news from my nephew and he would like to ask you for your opinion... He got the commitment for a scholarship to study in Madison which would have startet in August. Unfortunately Trump has deleted the money for that and now the university has cancelled the contract. Are they allowed to do that? What is your legal opinion for that? Nephew asks me, if he may contact you...” I got to tell them I’m so sorry to hear this…and yes, you’re fucked. Sure, what he’s done is probably illegal, but it will take time for the courts to sort it out…if they can…and if he obeys a court order. Shit, we just had dinner with a friend who is a medium-sized university president. His take was pretty sanguine: higher Ed is turbo-fucked. All of it. Imagine a way to destroy our standing in the world….and this admin is doing so. But have no fear, it’s ALSO hurting countless people right here at home. My daughter is applying to graduate programs this fall. I had encouraged her to apply to multiple programs in the US. I’m now glad that her target schools are all overseas. Of course, it may be that Americans become persona non grata to our former allies, so not exhaling yet.
  13. Shocking news.
  14. Yeah…Liechtenstein getting outclassed. But dude, their stadium is nestled up against the Alps at the headwaters of the Rhine. Life for them doesn’t suck.
  15. Joke’s on you. Imagine the most terrible thing possible…it still wouldn’t be enough. He could use nuclear weapons against American cities that defy his orders (and thus he deems them to be “in rebellion”)…and his sycophants would just say “it was maybe heavy handed, but you have to follow the president’s orders or face consequences.” You know I’m right. The GQP is a terrorist movement with nuclear weapons. In other words…Russia II.
  16. Whatever, veterans are suckers and losers. They’re getting what this regime thinks they deserve.
  17. And that dude is 100% right. Donald Trump just single-handedly destroyed the American defense industry, and he did it in 60 days. An all-hands-on-desk frontal attack by Russia couldn’t have done any better.
  18. Trump is doing what he was paid to do. And his idiot followers think he’s actually RESISTING China. Fucking morons.
  19. That last part is what makes her “perfectly suited for modern American leadership in partnership with the regime and its ruling family.” She was made for this moment in history.
  20. Let’s read this another way: “oligarch further secured his ownership of the ruling family by bestowing lavish gifts upon its children.” Again…just old school bribery. Remember how we used to have concerns about benefits to children of the regime? Wall-to-all famous coverage of “WHAT ABOUT HUNTER BUDEN???” And now…just open bribes in the light of day, zero concerns. These people are the worst humans to ever walk our land.
  21. ALL of it is. And this is what our resident Trumpkins like, and cheer. They have never, ever had a problem with authoritarian banana republic bullshit....their only problem is that they didn't have it working on their behalf.
  22. A nice blend of being blissfully unaware and being members of the dominant class inflicting the pain instead of receiving it will do that. They are winning -- they are on top, they are inflicting their vision on everyone else. Standing on top of the pile and stepping on people feels GOOD. I mean, non-jewish Germans were much happier than jewish Germans in 1939, as just one little example. White Americans were much happier than black Americans for most of last century, as yet another.
  23. I VOTED FOR TRUMP BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY! (Cheers firehose spilling billions and billions of taxpayer dollars directly to farmers to pay for the damage the regime's idiotic policies are causing). Irony is fucking dead. Yep, all on track. Clearly, whatever our problems might have been, the solution is "end democracy, make the poor and middle class suffer, and install an oligarchy." Don't understand why we didn't try that earlier.
  24. Well, when their pool of potentially eligible mates has decided to 1) retreat to the basement to play video games and jerk off to unrealistic porn for 12 hours a day, 2) are no longer getting out there and building a viable future, and 3) when they DO engage with women, they treat them like objects and/or get pissed off if they don't immediately fall at their feet.....yeah, that could be kinda sorta depressing. Add in the fact that they recently lost the right to control their own bodies, and gosh, it's a shocker why they aren't skipping down the street for joy. Looking out the window and seeing reality is depressing for women these days. Incels and losers as far as the eye can see, except for the domineering assholes who tell them exactly how it's going to be and are working to remove their agency and autonomy at every turn. Can't IMAGINE why someone would find that depressing.
