  1. This. You send it out, and tell everyone it's legal tender. Then, when retailers and such say "ummm....yeah, we won't be accepting it," threaten those retailers with government reprisals and sanction if they DON'T convert your imaginary Trump bucks into real money. Which also...and this is key....has the effect of monetizing all the OTHER Trump bucks you hold in your personal possession. So, his bucket full of imaginary money suddenly turns into a bucket full of $10 billion in value, because he's able to use the threat and power of the government to enrich himself. But, you know...he's drained the swamp and all that.
  2. This isn't wrong, but the Dems are still wrong and are still pathetic gaping vaginas which is an insult to vaginas because vaginas actually have a noble purpose even the gaping ones. It's wrong because here's how much an actual opposition party, defending the very existence of the Republic, should be willing to fuck up: everything. All of it. Until the mid-terms. Because...and this is really, really, really fucking important...their opponent has clearly demonstrated their willingness and desire to fucking END THE REPUBLIC. They will fuck up EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE. These are not "policy arguments." They are existential fights in a total war. You wage total war by...waging total war. It's a shitty, shitty thing to start. And I really, really wish the GQP hadn't started it. But here we are. Fights like this one end like this: Fight. Or get the fuck out of the way and let people who WILL fight get in the goddamn game. See the perfect encapsulation of the problem below: There will be nothing left to govern (and certainly no chance of anyone governing the shell of this country OTHER than fascists) if you don't fucking win first. Take. No. Prisoners. Slit. Fucking. Throats. Make. The rubble. Bounce. Until you're ready to do that, everything else is fiddling while Rome burns.
  3. Co-sign. That's a thing of beauty. I love moussaka, never tried to make it myself (it's not exactly one of our family recipes).
  4. Oh, they SAY there are. Wait till when/if (HUGE "if" there) we ever get another Dem POTUS. All of those people sitting in their cave silently right now will fly out to shriek as loudly as they can about "this is unsustainable! It's an existential threat!" I mean, they'll have to start by clearing their throats, because they didn't utter a fucking PEEP the previous four years.
  5. I mean...this is and always has been a real thing. Except when we were in the "we have little kids in car seats" stage in life, we ALWAYS go inside. It's no slower. It's often faster. And I am 100% convinced they check your order more carefully when you're inside, because they know you can just stand there and make them fix it (which will make their life harder, so might as well get it right the first time). I only drive through for the simplest of things, IF the line looks short. Like, I'll swing through and grab a coffee or iced tea while running errands. Breakfast is something that's usually simple enough that you can risk the drive through. My wife made the mistake, while running our refugee charge around to soccer practices, of going through the drive through one night....at Popeyes. And yes, they totally fucked up the order. And yes, once they did, she laughed and explained "yeah...that's what we get for going through a Popeyes drive through."
  6. He's going to give out "stimulus"....to an economy that doesn't presently need stimulus (although he's certainly doing the lord's work to get us to that point). He's going to give out something like $400 billion from a bucket that's collected less than $200 billion. Where are all my GQP deficit hawks? He's NOT going to use that $195 billion to reduce the deficit that he's caused to grow at lighting speed. Again, where are all my GQP deficit hawks? This is fan-fucking-tastic. We are a fucking joke of a country.
  7. Yeah….dont know how the dirty Dagos skated by.
  8. Still cleaning out my folks’ house. Dad had several of these in an old box of stuff. Guess this was a viral ā€œthat’s just wrongā€ meme of the 60s-70s era:
  9. Look for the guy eating ketchup coated boiled brisket and relentlessly posting memes about how he’ll protect Texas from….the mayor of NYC.
  10. That’s the Dems music right there.
  11. Well, we’re certainly going to get to find out. When the bastion of defense is the wet tissue paper that is the Democrats, you’re going to get raped in every way imaginable.
  12. Man, here’s how it is: you can have a house with a sex dungeon in it, or you can have a sex dungeon that you live in. Make the right choice.
  13. Except…which fast food chain hasn’t?
  14. Financial reports from places like Chipotle and Cava tells us that the economic issues having broader impacts on restaurants is a growing thing. We’re going to see more chains in real trouble. Except Arby’s, which is immortal.
  15. We’ve spent the last 20 years with a shitload of people telling us ā€œTHE REASON WE HAVE A SECOND AMENDMENT IS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AGAINST A VIOLENT OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT!ā€ Fucking hell. Turns out they were right. Except it also turns out that they were much more interested in BEING the violent, oppressive government than protecting the people from it.
  16. If that happens, we’re done. We don’t have a viable opposition party.
  17. Just saw this. My ā€œsecretā€ for a great green chili stew: use Herdez tomatillo salsa verde for half your liquid. It’s got salt in it, so be light on your salt until you taste at the end. I brown pork, then sautee onions and garlic. Use salsa and chicken stock for your liquid. Simmer till pork is tender. Add as much green chili as you like, simmer a bit to blend. Maybe add a little comino, salt as needed. If you’re adding a starch like potatoes or hominy, do so and simmer appropriately. It’s a cold weather go-to for us. And chicken thighs will work too.
  18. Maybe that was suggested because w open you can get blue corn tortillas in Sam Diego. Didja think of that, smart guy?
  19. ….which is the exact ā€œnegotiationā€ position that our own POTUS is using at home, right now. So, they do speak the same language.
  20. If he’s straight…he’s gonna do just fine with the ladies.
  21. Like the microburst storm we got here in Austin earlier this year. I’ve been through hurricanes, and it looked exactly like that as it was happening.
  22. Translation: ā€œour CFO shouldn’t have said that out loud. No worries, our plan to make the US govt a completely intertwined entity with our oligarchies will continue unabated. We’ll just keep it from view, as we have been.ā€
  23. Alas, she’s back in Germany. But apparently…she’s coming to Scotland for a visit soon. This is his first serious girlfriend. We’ll see how it goes. He’s had an amusing time introducing her to Mexican and American food. He took her on a date to a real-deal bbq restaurant in Frankfurt (we got a brisket from there last year, and he was legit), and she loved it. But she also couldn’t figure out the right way to eat a pop-tart, so…it’s a process.
  24. Condemning as ā€œnot a good humanā€ā€¦.Joyce. Carol. Oates. Imagine being the kind of person who actually says that. I read another comment on that original post commenting on how sad, pathetic, and awful the lives of many of these billionaires (particularly the latest wave of tech billionaires, like Zuck, Musk, and Thiel) actually are. I mean, just imagine if somehow YOU had Elon’s money, and what you would do with it, and with your life. You could find joy. You could live a life of kindness and generosity. Dear God, if you gave me $500 billion…the hunger I could end, the basic medical care I could fund. Work with USAID as a force multiplier. And yes, I’d fish, and hunt…with my friends, and with people who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to them (pet cause for me: funding access to the outdoors). These people aren’t doing that. They are chasing being gods. And the saddest thing is that is unreachable. They will die having fallen way short of the only goal they’ve ever had. It’s truly a pathetic existence. I have .000001% of Elon’s money….but I have a woman who loves me for real, I have a relationship with my kids, I pursue activities that bring me happiness, I give of my time and treasure to people and my community, and find satisfaction in that. He is infinitely wealthier than me. I am infinitely richer than him. Ultimately, he’s chosen to be a tragic, pathetic figure…and to harm humanity in the process.
  25. How are they different than the regular ā€œyou bakeā€ corn tortillas? Because those seem to turn out fine? Or…just get fresh corn tortillas from most any Mercado?
