    Trump himself has jumped the shark so bad the impressions aren’t funny anymore. Just hearing anything resembling his voice is rage inducing. I wouldn’t feel compelled to do bits of him anymore, stick to the other characters. Scar Jos bit in the weird SOTU lady was great.

    It’s an instant tune out fast forward when they do Trump shit, it’s fucking dumb how they keep doing it. You can’t make Trump any more absurd than he already is. The political cold opens in general need to go.

    Wisconsin and Arkansas have expanded Medicaid but have legislatures that remove them from budget.

    Georgia has a work requirement that’s tripping things up. Mississippi Senate is trying to do similar.

    There’s going to be an attempt in FL to get on an initiative in 2026 I believe.

    Wyoming had their house pass it way back in 2021 but Senate tangled it up then and looks like it won’t happen anytime soon. They want a state specific public private partnership like Alabama will attempt this year.

    Texas is dumb.TN Governor is dumb.

    South Carolina has a waiver system that allowed them to expand coverage and Biden admin waived work requirement on them. Not technically Medicaid.

    Also I’m glad you dickheads continue to elevate and respond to the bullshit posts on this thread that immediately follow positive posts. Bang up job. I hope all your chocolates are melted in your dumb fucking eggs.

    Do not respond to my above post. Just be better

    I uh….  didn’t take your previous post as “positive.”

    Is your companies DEI program a forced program?  I was asked more than one DEI related question during a fucking recorded video interview within the last year. 2 out of 5 or 6 questions.  Was for one of the O&G majors. 

    Nah they just looked at you and knew you’d eventually say some shit that HR would have to deal with.

     

    Also lol at “ DEI program a forced program” like companies are forced against their will to do this, that just what your shitty supervisor says when they can’t articulate why.

    I haven’t even checked the ingredients but I suspect that boullion contains the msg that is sometimes the missing *something* from the more natural ingredient recipes 

    It’s actually a similar but slightly different flavor enhancer, Disodium guanylate. But we use it for the ease of not having to have broth and tomato paste. We can make smaller amounts too than the traditional recipe. Flavor is pretty similar and a less “spicy” then when we use this canned sauce. The one watch out still is overall sodium.

     

    edit: lol I missed it did have msg, it’s got what plants humans crave!

  5. We used to do a full Mexican style recipe with boxed chicken stock, fresh onion, and tomato paste, but people here recommended this and now we can make Mexican rice even easier that tastes as good and doesn’t require we have the extra ingredients on hand. You can make great Mexican rice with this, rice, oil, and garlic powder/garlic salt. Onion still takes it up a notch, and we usually have some if it, but I’m sure onion powder could be used in a pinch if you want more onion flavor.

    Coronado.   Cool to drive. Even cooler to get to the other side.

    Some people don't want to get to the other side. Baby sister of the Golden Gate when it comes to jumpers. (St Pete bridge is also a popular destination for ending things.)

    Took a got damn open window trolly over this bridge in 2019. Wasn’t even sure it had the power to make the climb and the driver stayed in the right lane the whole time . Couldn’t even look out the window it was so fucking nerve wracking plus we had our two little kids with us. Needless to say we took an Uber back.

    Not trying to be a Debbie downer, but that unfortunate fellow has a dramatic life story of tragedy and success.
    He was terribly burned when the helicopter he was piloting was shot down in Vietnam 55 years ago. Barely surviving, he spent two years recovering in the burn unit at Brooke Army hospital - much of that time face down in a sling apparatus. 
    The plastic surgeons grew him a new nose by cutting a flap of arm flesh and attaching it to the stump of his burned off original one. His arm was strapped up by his head for months while the arm flesh grew onto his face. 
    The surgeons did not try to replace his burned off ears and he wears a full toupee to cover his scarred bald head. 
    By some fortuitous miracle, when he crashed and the chopped exploded in flames, he covered his his eyes with his arm, saving his eyesight. But that arm was severely burnt.

    When he was discharged from the hospital, he stayed in Army as a career officer and after several command assignments in Europe & Asia, retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Early after getting back to active duty, he married a beautiful young nurse, with whom he adopted a baby girl to raise as an army brat. (❤️). 
    Unfortunately tragedy struck his family about 10 years ago when his wife unexpectedly passed away from a neural event. 
    But he has continued to keep trucking’ on, doting on his daughter, a nurse, who recently married. 
    He is quite an inspirational gentleman and all around good guy.

    Incidentally, He & Mrs. Brat went steady their senior year in high school and dated all through college even though they went to different schools. They broke up in their senior year a few months before I met her at a mutual friend’s wedding (that’s when she & I started our relationship and married in June of 1967). 
    We are all friends and are grateful to be able get together at their Taylor Duck class reunions.

     

    I just thought it was a blurry bad angle in a group picture, no disrespect meant.

    I don't have the costume (well I have ideas but they are all in extremely poor taste, even for here), but I do a few ideas:

    1.  Make her read aloud "On the Origin of Species"

    2.  Selected works from Fredrick Douglass and Maya Angelou

    3.  In lieu of reading (I'm not sure she can), have her watch the entire original Cosmos with Carl Sagan.  

    I originally typed “(try to) read you” lol

    It’s becoming crystal clear that by the end of the year, she’ll be a $1000 a night escort.
    I’m in. But not for pleasure, only to degrade her…which I’m not sure is even possible. But we have to try.

    Pay her to read you Becoming by Michelle Obama while wearing this.
