  1. We’re in a war for the soul of America, Jimmy. we are in a war for the institutions of America who have almost failed, we are in a war to try to maintain the rule of law. We are in a war to try to stand for democracy and to protect people like Ukraine, which is been our country’s positionfor so long that that is one of the main reasons why we are respected. Making sure that the people who voted and encouraged and whooped and hollered in favor of the upcoming depression suffer no pain is perhaps a more Christian or kind secular response. And that kindness can lead to the further destruction of the country, the further eradication of the rule in law. As it is, the White House is now Biff’s Pleasure Palace home of grift and hatred - and people fly flags in its honor. THAT IS WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING, NOT PEOPLE WHO CAN’T FIND ENOUGH FOOD BECAUSE OF THOSE ELECTION DECISIONS. When you are in a war, things are different. Sometimes you drop atomic bombs so that 1,000,000 American servicemen won’t die in a Japan homeland invasion. Many of us are saying that the country needs to suffer like Hiroshima, so like Japan, coming out of an authoritarian military controlled culture and government, a new democracy respecting rights and the rule of law can come out of the ashes. I have been vocal about wanting a great depression, because MAGAs need to be on the same soup line with liberals before they all realize that we need unions and we all need healthcare and job security and retirement FOR EVERYONE. We knew that in the 1930s. We realized all the money going to the oligarch’s was obscene and anti-American. We apparently forgot that, so now blue-collar workers cheer for Elon and Trump and his billionaire buddies while they destroy the country, the economy and the lives of people. Ending that mindset is more important than some people starving. If Jimmy could magically put food in everyone’s pantry, we would continue charging ahead on our MAGA path, undeterred by cruelty and harm. Here is what I say. “They should’ve filled their bank accounts and pantries to overflowing before they decorated their porches with the corpse of my beloved American institutions..”
  2. The GOP is the home of family values in Christianity. They have poisoned the brains of Americans with that crap for almost 40 years. Why do you question their authenticity? Surely those wonderful people will take care of their own. Not. My. Problem.
  3. Trump keeps insisting that everyone is doing better since he’s president and the cost of food is going down. He was interviewed by a reporter at the White House after Trump said that the Walmart Thanksgiving meal basket was now 25% less than last year. The reporter advised him that the basket doesn’t contain any of the stuff that were in the previous years basket, and they’ve left out things like marshmallows for the sweet potatoes, eliminated the pecan pie, and took out other parts of a Thanksgiving dinner while they lowered the price As you would expect, he had a toddler tantrum asked her who she worked for and when she said NBC announced NBC that’s all fake news. Don’t listen to her everything she says as a lie. Because Cletus and Mabel, who have purchased the Walmart Thanksgiving basket for years, have an idea what’s in there Donald. And dammit, Cletus always liked the pecan pie. The best chance Democrats have is that they are all idiots, and other than the political message that the brown and black skin others are coming for you, and the trans people want to sex change your children, when they step off those two talking points they have nothing else to say. More importantly, the nation is now fixated on the economy. And by economy, I do not mean the stock market, I mean how much it costs to buy the things everyone needs. The GOP keeps insisting that everything is going well and prices are not going up. I for one, thank them for their magnificent gift to the Democrats. Trump’s coalition always contained a huge amount of people who simply weren’t paying attention. Many of them are paying attention now.

    I laughed at spectral Melania every time.
  5. Brisket, all due respect, but you seem to just gloss over the fact that she was well-aware she was brown at the exact time when she knocked on the door. Seems like there is a willfulness element in there.
  6. Immamac problem solved
  7. just dropped in to say I’m about to quit reading the Ukraine thread because I can’t get through a page without going to Twitter platform and it’s too frustrating to visit the same thread six times before I can get to the end of the page. If the problem is aggressive Twitter embedding, maybe we could ask everybody to just post screenshots, and anyone that desperate to see the original article in X can find the particular post in the app ios18 is current theme.
  8. Nothing matters. The simulation is broken. Neandertoes Marge is complementing Nancy Pelosi on national TV. The Gators are the reigning NCAA basketball champions. Dogs are living with cats and voting across species lines.
  9. if I recall correctly, Orban is in a bad place. He chose to be Putin’s puppet within the EU and NATO, voting against Pro Ukraine initiatives whenever he could. His power base is pro Russian, and he took a pro Russian foreign policy position on many things, including where to buy his fucking oil. He naturally is addicted to that sweet sweet Ural crude/gas. The problem is, Brussels just announced it would be OK for Ukraine to destroy the pipeline from Russia bringing that to Hungary. And since he is buying Russian he is subject to Trump’s sanctions. I think his intent is to ask Trump to give Hungary dispensation from the sanctions so they can keep buying Russian oil……because that would help Hungary help Trump get his Nobel peace prize. Or some shit like that. Orban recently had the brainstorm to mark the anniversary of the year Russia brought in tanks to suppress a Hungarian independence movement. Shockingly, lots of pro western citizens took to the streets to condemn Orban and Russia and Putin - with a great vigor and large numbers I might add. Orban’s position seems to be getting more precarious. He needs to tie into western petroleum supplies and ditch Russia. But if he does that, Putin will ratchet up the pro Russia hardliners within Hungary to create all kinds of problems. I think that Orban is kind of a dead man walking. Fortunately, he’s going to see that bastion of common sense and empathy in the White House and try to get some help.
  10. What if once a quarter we were allowed to give a single post 10 likes?
  11. “Oh look! There’s a guy with one of those gun holsters that fools nobody…”
  12. I’m just guessing, but I’m guessing a “trust us, we’re the GOP…” is not gonna get it done.
  13. Not just Johnson, but Johnson’s son as well. They do sex stuff together in case one of them forgets the safe word. Like Jesus did.
  14. Not a single reference to baby beluga. Fake news.
  15. Oh, I encourage everyone to check out. Saint Claire, a relatively new restaurant in an old plantation house in Algiers about 15 minutes from the fridge quarter. I was only there once, and with my son who knew the chef, so it was a bit outside the normal dining experience because of all the delicious comped small plates. But everything was perfect.
  16. They’re cattlemen, not woke high school graduates, what with the fancy numbers ciphering and spelling and all..
  17. I was happy to see Saint Germain get a star. My youngest son was a line cook there until he moved to New York City in June to get different culinary experience. Eldest son is a manager with the Donald Link organization, and they had nice things to say about the entire restaurant group. I totally agree about Zemanick. The only problem I ever had with Gautraeau’s was the damn acoustics in the dining room. The food was pretty consistently great.
