  1. The US elected a black person president once. It turned out to absolutely destroy our country. A shitload of people who perhaps didn't realize how fucking loathsome and racist they were.....realized the FUCK out of how loathsome and racist they were, and fucking ran with it. "Hate for the other" is the foundational belief of one of our two major parties right now. And it has brought them incredible electoral success. It's okay. Own what we are. And what we are is a country that finds itself most motivated and passionate when it can direct its hatred, anger, and rage against minorities. So, no....we won't be electing any black person, ESPECIALLY a woman, president again in the next 50 years.
  2. Don't fret. We gotta have something in place and operating for when the gold from, umm, (((other sources))) who are deemed disloyal to the Regime, gets freed up. Just gotta stick to the plan...
  3. Pretty sure you can buy even more than that if you take em home and shuck them yourself. I've done that just for me, but I don't think I topped 2 dozen, so I can't be sure about the limit.
  4. Tell me how the following syllogism is incorrect: Violent protests/actions by the right: Jan 6th, Charlottesville, Malheur, Buffalo, El Paso, Charleston, Tree of Life (gotta save America from the "invaders," and the "others"). Consequences of violent actions by the right, including violent actions taken on behalf of and in service to Donald Trump: total electoral victory, including electing DJT a second time. The only rational takeaway from that is this: violence works. If you want to take power, you should commit more of it.
  5. Why? So Trump can 1) pardon him and then 2) give him a Medal of Freedom? There are no legal impediments to the Gestapo committing violence at the behest of the Regime. None. Zero. In fact, there are INCENTIVES to do so. Buckle up. It gets so, so, so much worse.
  6. Two? Nevermind that one of these "instances" was FUCKING OPEN REVOLT TO OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES......2) and EVERY SINGLE PARTICIPANT HAS NOW BEEN PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Charlottesville. Malheur. And let's not forget the flat-out stochastic terrorism of the right wing: El Paso, Buffalo, Tree of Life, Charleston.....FFS, the right is flat-out murdering people because they are "others," but "perception is reality." Fucking...BULLSHIT. Reality is reality. And here's reality: Jan 6th taught us that what the left should do is violently overthrow the government, and then if there is any criminal risk attached, get a Dem POTUS elected to pardon all the participants, sealing the victory. What the stochastic terrorist events taught us is that the opposition should start murdering MAGAs wherever they can be found. I think that's shit. But if you want to talk about "lessons learned," there they are. Violence is a-ok. ALL of those instances of violence, and what were the consequences, how did they "hurt the right's cause?" NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. NADA. Fuck, they HELPED the right's cause. The lesson is this: violence works, and pays off. You should engage in it, it helps you win.
  7. "Hit like and subscribe....or else, motherfucker."
  8. A violent right wing mob tried to murder members of Congress and overthrow our government on Jan 6. On live TV. Every one of them has been pardoned. Shove this shit right back up your ass. There is no winning your “perception” war when the right is confusing dishonest as to deny that ever even happened. I’ll tell you what Jan 6 has taught us all: do EXACTLY what they did…and win.
  9. Sigh. Top of NW Hills, a bit of wind damage with this one (small sticks and such, knocked some light patio furniture over). Made a hell of a racket and woke us up to boot.
  10. We get it, we get it. So which state elected him Senator again?
  11. Look man, I took the loss to UGA kinda hard, ok?
  12. Braised lamb shanks, reduced the hell out of the sauce (beef stock, shallots, celery, garlic, and carrots, multiple sprigs of fresh thyme), add fresh English peas at the end, top with parsley.
  13. But you’re still googling it, right?

    Yeah, that’s where we are. We’re pretty invested in the team (seriously, my wife knows the roster top to bottom, follows all the trades and transfers, it’s kinda nuts) and the folks around us - have a nice little friendship going, including with some players’ families. And we have four tickets, even though the kids aren’t home much any longer. We mostly invite friends to come to a match with us, let em buy us a burger and beer, call it even. Not getting our money’s worth today, but we have in the past and will again.
  15. Correct. Rent was a lot cheaper in their little strip mall location, and they shoulda stayed there.
  16. Jesus, all those places were family faves back in the day. Especially Ta Hua (fresh ginger in oil with each dumpling was fantastic) and Lalo’s - one of my high school classmate’s family were the owners. Ate there a lot, including with him.
  17. And oysters is something of a family tradition for some of us. My late mom was from NOLA. We’ve been a Felix’s family since around its founding. My mother’s pregnancy craving with me was ousters…she’d eat shucked oysters by the quart with a spoon. My dad used to get annoyed at my mom and me when we’d go to Ralph and Kacoo’s, and we’d each eat two dozen before dinner (“you’ll fill up on oysters!” Yeah…no we won’t). Fried oyster po boy is my favorite po boy. My daughter had her first chargrilled at Felix’s (she ate all of my order, I had to get another for myself). I’ve sat at the bar there and put away 5-6 dozen after arguing a case at 5th Circuit, as the shucker told us about his boys, one of whom was going to Tulane on a full ride…the other was going to Angola for life. Oysters are a cultural thing, too.
  18. Eat a Norwegian gas station hot dog for me. For real. Trust me.
  19. So, still cleaning out my old man’s place. Shank woulda liked him, he was in the pipe-layin’ bidness. Found this from some outfit he worked with once…sounds like a good company.
  20. Grew up loving smoked oysters on a cracker. My dad and I would set up a whole canned seafood buffet. L-I-V-I-N
  21. Israel F-15s smoked several MiGs in the 80s.
  22. Guilty. I love how the early day qualifiers are always something like “The principality of St Hubbins vs A Country That Recently Committed War Crimes” or some such.
  23. Yeah, DDD knows what’s up. It’s not a lawsuit. It’s a vehicle for transferring $100 million government dollars into the pocket of a private militia loyal to Trump. It’s a scam. Like this entire Regime.
