  1. way, way more than that needs to happen.
  2. you know how the best part of the Drumstick is the very end, the supper chocolately filled bottom of the sugar cone with some ice cream? like that, in every bite, with chopped peanuts.
  3. that’s not how Republicans work. that’s not how any of this Republican hypocrisy works.
  4. party of personal .... errr ... take no responsibility. for anything, ever. other than blaming others.
  5. new Drumstick blizzard is strong. real strong. maybe the best one yet.
  6. right, but what about that thing Biden said in the 1980s? -all Republicans
  7. if by “lose reelection” you mean “garner support of 100% of Republicans,” then yes.
  8. so Trump pulls out a narrow win and the military steps in and overthrows him? i don't think so. i'm far less concerned about what will happen if the election results show Trump lost and he tries to stay in power - in fact, part of me almost wants to see that happen, because i'd like to see him thrown out on his ass, kicking and screaming. i am far more concerned with the election being rigged through various means to allow for a close Trump "victory." does anyone really doubt that every single current Republican elected official wouldn't take part in that, or at best, look the other way? Republicans have blocked every single measure attempting to stop or curb foreign interference in our elections. they are actively engaged in widespread voter suppression efforts. all with no real consequences.
  9. and this time the Republicans will be all in on supporting and coordinating voter suppression, foreign interference, and outright vote rigging. why wouldn’t they? as a country we have made it clear to them that there are, and will be no consequences.
  10. it’s not a question of whether or not this will happen, it’s a question of what are we going to do about it after it works. the idea that Trump and Republicans are going to allow him to be voted out of office and any Democrat to take over is simply laughable.
  11. I hope there are a lot more people of this mindset. because really, that should have started a long time ago - when it became crystal clear that Trump and all of his Republican enablers were traitors - after Helsinki, after Republicans shirked their duty to vote for Trump’s removal in the impeachment proceedings, and dozens of other instances. the use of widespread and organized force and violence to remove Republicans is long overdue.
  12. its not the fanciest place, but the Grove on Bee Caves @ 360 has a big patio and they have done a good job of keeping the tables very well spaced out; everyone wearing masks, being very diligent about cleaning and wiping everything down, one use menus, etc. other pluses are (1) very few to no milleneals; and (2) decent amount of MILF on any given night
  13. the boats, the flags, such as the Iraq
  14. Yes. And Republicans will do absolutely nothing about it.
  15. could be wrong, but i think he is referring to him being strung up from a light pole. which is what should have happened with Trump within minutes of returning from Helsinki. or at any point in time since then.
  16. couple more: oyster po-boy from old tyme grocery in lafayette boudin balls from best stop and road trip warrior
  17. re: social distancing: a mixed bag. in stores (grocery, convenience, hardware), very little to nearly no masks and social distancing other than employees. we had reservations at La Petite Grocery for Father's Day; they called me Saturday and cancelled and said they had someone test positive and they were closing down for several days - so I cooked at my dad's house that night instead. now, the restaurants we went to (some pictured above, some not) all had tables spaced well, employees all masked, and enforcing masks to enter and walk through until at table, no standing at the bar to wait for take out (except for superior seafood, which had just opened back up for dinner and was pretty packed out, including bar seating - no pics of the two dozen oysters i had there). i was looking around for a place not on the itinerary for one night and really, a lot of places (all uptown) were still closed down - and we went by a few other of our favorites over weekend to check them out and they were still closed (high hat, bar frances, upperline). did not go into the quarter at all. unless we are going down to the quarter to go to a specific restaurant and then leave, my GF and I don't spend much time down there - so I can't report on that. we stayed on st. charles uptown and the streetcars were pretty empty the whole long weekend we were there - that tells me the tourists aren't really coming back en masse just yet.
  18. narrator: he actually shits his pants
  19. virtually no line at Parkway at noon on Saturday monday special at dunbar's eggplant napoleon with fried shrimp and crawfish cream sauce at joey k's
  20. i think we have had all of the small plates at comedor that don't get rotated out - but the masa spaetzle is the one dish we get every single time. it would be worth the trip there for just that and a dessert.
  21. narrator: no one is going to do anything about it.
  22. the Lincoln Project stuff is great. serious question (for anyone, really) - what percentage of current Republicans are of this mindset -even generally - that Trump needs to go? 1/20th of 1%? less? way less?
