    The R’s have the house, they’re free to pass anything border related 

    but then they couldn’t sit and bitch about biden’s ‘open border’ !!!

    or fund raise off it 

    Yep.  The GQP has no desire to do anyting related to the border.  FYI, the 115th Congress was controlled by rhe GQP and had Trump in the White House.  Why did they not do anything then?  Rather, they shoved through tax cuts for billionaires.  Republican voters are complete morons.

  2. Went to Mount St. last night.  It was excellent.  Have a res at St. John's in Marylebone tonight.  

    Fly back tomorrow.  The crowds on Bond St. are a beating.  I might get up early before the sun is up and get some good photo taking in.

    Also London the week before Christmas is verrrrrrrrry crowded. I don’t mind crowds but got annoyed by every damn bar being wall to wall humanity. If crowds bother you, don’t come here in mid December.

    It is because schools are out, and for the most part, everyone in the fucking country comes to London.  It’s quite annoying.

  4. My flight this evening was cancelled, so I have spent 3+ hours on the phone with BA.  Seriously, their flights are great (when they run), but their customer service line sucks.

    I wouldn’t presume I do. But people with zero children pretending they understand just makes me chuckle. No offense. 

    You chose to have kids. Maybe you should have made better life choices.  God knows we don't need more idiots like you, wishing for 3 years ago when we were in the middle of a global fucking pandemic.  Idiot.

    Congrats to Joe Biden for a great economy!!!

    anybody have experience with Icelandair and/or airport? emoji848.png
    i hate flying with a passion but we're planning a family trip to Germany and France late spring, first time, so no choice there. due to my general airline hate and tendency to have claustrophobic reactions on any flight longer than about 5 hours, i've been banking Chase points for a while to be able to splurge on business class. Icelandair keeps coming up with multiple options, Denver>Frankfurt.
    i'm not a surly 1%er emoji39.png and our international travel has been limited to Mexico, Canada, and the Caribbean, so European travel is all new ground.
    really...i just don't want to get served surstromming or be trapped with any other kind of fermented fish during food service emoji13.png emoji12.png
    should i just stick with United? emoji848.png

    I don't think Icelandair does business class, do they? I think it's the equivalent of domestic first.

    This.  It’s not the lay flats.  I don’t like long flights myself.  I can do NYC to Europe direct, but anything longer than 10-12 hours, I have to break it up.

  7. I'm thinking about cancelling Kol and going with Akoko.  I'm a fan of West African food.  

    Also, want to go to Kinkally.  Decisions, decisions.  

     

    UPDATE...Akoko is booked up.   Sigh.  Keeping Kol for now.

    Or he just tweets “TRUMP HATING JUDGES RUINING OUR COUNTRY. PEOPLE WILL RISE UP AND DESTROY COURTS”

    and one is them is attacked. 

    and the GOP still votes him in primary because they’re all pieces of shit 

    This.  Except he doesn't tweet, he truths.  And only his idiot cult members are a part of that.

    This x a million. Your gps will say it adds 20 min or so, but you will make up for it by missing all the traffic on the Atchafalaya bridge. 
     

    Best stop on I-10 on the north side, with Billy’s on the south - either are good stops for boudin cracklins etc. 

    Olde Tyme is our go-to for po-boys in Lafayette, but Pop’s downtown is a little less traditional and they make a damn good one too. 

    Especially if traffic grinds to a standstill on that bridge, which it often does.

    A bunch of the hardcore anti-abortion/MAGA types are going hard after her, and she's a mom who actually wants more kids and is not some teen trying to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy (and she's white, let's not kid ourselves), so I'm not surprised that a lot of people are taking her side.

    As I said, she is the hero we need.  They show their crazy going after her.

    That would be giving them exactly what they want and would reward them for their horrible behavior. Fuck that and fuck them.

    It would also piss 99% of the women off in this country.  And I would imagine a fair few men men.  Kate Cox is a hero, and she is absolutely the hero we need.  The Texas idiots are going to come out of this with egg on their face.

  12. London Critics lauded ALW's Cinderella.  Broadway hated it.  I prefer Broadway to the West End, generally, though I think the West End has better plays vs. musicals whereas Broadway generally has better musicals vs. plays.  

    F&M is a beating at Christmas.  Just buy shit at the airport.
