Randall's still has a Hispanic food aisle; and to keep things on topic, it's mostly stuff to make white people tacos

I did my own post mortem on why Trump was appealing after the 2020 election, he lost but he still made it way too close given his presidency. There’s all sorts of political reasons, but putting the gravity of the situation aside, his stump speeches were more of a standup routine than anything else. Now I didn’t find it funny but his crowds laughed more than they cheered. Of course there’s the propaganda, classic blame an exterior threat, the guy isn’t one dimensional but his ability to make his people laugh was a huge component that was never really noticed by MSM for sure but I’m not sure really anyone dove into it. 
 

now he’s older, he’s flustered, he’s not a novel candidate, more are done with him and he’s lost it. But the whole shark and batteries in a boat thing was just another stand up routine attempt, the problem is he’s losing his mind too so he’s not nearly as good at it as he was.

Excellent. My early observations about him in the GOP debates was that he was the only onstage actually talking to people rather than reciting shit. He got off some good lines. I never thought he'd get the nomination, but I could see his appeal. This was before the shit about the wall and the other absurd promises.

I don't.  I doubt there is anybody who didn't vote for him in 2020, who is now thinking "you know what?  That's my guy!"  I also think the Trump of 2020 would be doing a lot more over the span of two weeks than a Mar-a-Lago presser, a Bedminster presser, and a "rally" at a 2,700 seat theater, especially as his competition is lapping him.

Partly because:

All great points, and it feeds into him just rambling on without a point.  I feel like in the run-up to 2016 and 2020, yeah, he would get off topic and babble/ramble a bit but he seemed to be working the crowd more, and he always seemed to have that reality TV star knack of having a point or two or three that he was trying to make.  He may take a while to get to the point, but he eventually came back to it, and got the applause and the laughs at the right moments.

I sometimes think the people who believe he's thrown in the towel and is just grifting are right.  He is not acting like somebody who wants to actually win.  He can talk a lot, but I can talk about how I'm going to win the lottery or go out with Sela Ward on a date, but if I don't actually go out and buy a ticket or figure out how to get the restraining order dropped, it's not going to happen.

Now he's the political equivalent of an elderly person driving around, blowing through stop signs and traffic lights, oblivious to what's going on around him.

Also excellent. He's an old gasbag that doesn't realize the funny stories he's told a hundred times are now suffered through rather than laughed at. Evidently, Lenny Bruce's act became him reading about the legal persecution he was experiencing instead of entertainment. He lost his audience.

We eat a shit ton of tacos in my family and we call those Gringo Tacos. Definitely have more spice than Tim's. They aren't my favorite that we make but there is something nostalgic about it for me.  

There are few things more boring on this site than people pontificating about the perfect way to cook or eat something. Gotta have two burn points per square inch and two cups of jalepenos to be a real taco.

In this case, it's not only boring, but it's adding deadweight to a thread already moving at a torrid pace.

I become a scorn.

I'm guessing this is like the flyers put on East Side businesses here years ago telling people they would have to leave to make room for gentrification. Too many people took it literally and missed a solid point being made with absurdity. I doubt this sign is from Trump followers but actually ridicules their racist, violent, stupid hatred.

Does anyone have a recipe for jerk chicken tikka marsala hot dish?  Let's cover all the bases here.

I like that... go with the most flavorful version of a hot dish possible. I could totally see myself trying to concoct a Indian-Chinese version, with lots and lots of pork and paneer in it.

I think we all need to make hot dishes on Election Night and post pics.  We can start a separate thread or include those in the Election Night results thread.

Fucking IN. This is a great idea. I will continue to post recipes from my cookbook (again, a gift from my half brother). We can all pick one and make it, and report the results.
I’m down, but I think using recipe for this would be cheating. Pick some stuff to put in the dish, bake it, and see how it goes. 
 
But don’t pick spam. Jfc. 

Pick whatever you want. There’s a place for spam. Shit, that’s a real flavor bomb to folks from Minnesota.

The straw man here is unbelievable. The correct thing to say is imagine if Trump said white guy tacos and not spicy. Which would draw the same reaction as walz. Or if walz had said black guy tacos are chicken and watermelon, yeah that would be a story just like if Trump said it. 
 

This “technical definition of racist includes against whites” stuff doesn’t really work in the game of national politics.

McCain and North Korea alone should have had vets turn on him, yet here we are, this one won't make any difference whatsoever with his current cult.

I was checking out reddit this morning, and the military boards are pretty spicy over it. 

How spicy (I like what you did there) were they about gold star families, shitting on the grave of John McCain, and calling General Milley a weak traitor?

This is like the 200th worst thing that he's said about service men and women. 

They'll ultimately justify it like they always do.

I'm sure those boards were spicy the last 10 times he said shit about McCain, or military suckers etc... This isn't exactly groundbreaking commentary from the man. The people that actually care probably made the decision not to  vote for the guy years ago. But I'm also of the opinion that the number of true undecideds in this country can be counted on MTG's toes. People have had 10 years now to formulate an opinion on Trump. The election is pretty much just a GOTV contest now, and this doesn't strike me as something that will dissuade trump  voters. He's done it many times before.

Welcome to my county, Jefferson County, a reliable light blue county. No idea what the usual split is in Vestavia, but it's one of those places where they read books and wear shoes, so there are probably more than a few non-Magas.

Now, if you see Kamala signs in Pelham, Alabaster, or, God Help Us, Bibb County*, that's when you bet the baby's new shoes on Alabama flipping.

*In Bibb Co. signs will no doubt be surrounded by decorative wreaths of tiny Confederate flags.

While some MAGA dorks are trying to excuse/mansplain it, more are coming after him on it than I expected. 

Regarding the situation:

1. The Democratic convention is next week. The pro-Palestinian groups are planning a big protest but fortunately aren't going to be allowed to get close to the convention. If they successfully disrupt the convention then that will be a major problem and distraction for the Harris campaign. This is the only thing that really gives me heartburn as a Harris supporter.

2. I'm curious to see whether Harris/Walz get much of a bump out of the convention. Trump certainly didn't out of his but not many were watching it. 

3. Harris' speech at the convention will likely be one of the most watched political events in recent memory. I think there are still a lot more undecideds out there than some of these polls - I'm more inclined to believe the polls that show the race as 43/42 either way than these that show 49/48. This will be her first big chance to make an impression on these voters. The second will be the debate. 

4. Nobody gives a shit about the VP position so Comer is wasting time and resources as usual - and at the direction of Trump most likely. It will get MAGA up in arms but nobody really cares - people vote top of the ticket. Might be more of an issue if Harris was Trump's age.

I wonder if they can get ahead of it and give them a pre-defined space to protest.

NCOs are the backbone of the Corps.  JD Vance is the coccyx.

Am I mistaken, or was Vance a Corporal simply because the Marine Corps doesn't have a Spec 4 rank?

The Army has both, so a Spec 4 would be in an office typing up press releases, and a Corporal would be out commanding troops and doing War shit. Spec 4s can do war shit too, but they are not considered NCOs. When I was a Spec 4 I called the rank "High Private."

Newsflash idiots, Kamala is floating price controls and $25k+ handouts to homebuyers; that’s something to be upset about.

I know, right? That’s just a handout to irresponsible freeloaders who buy more house than they can afford.

Which is why Republicans all decline the mortgage interest deduction on principle, right?

I am seeing a very positive sign repeat itself. Daily Mail was making an entire industry out of their almost-hourly attacks on Biden, with article after article focused on his mental gyrations.

Now, they have little to pick on about Harris. There simply isn't enough material to attack her in any sustainable way. Being the shameless, opportunitive whores that they are, Daily Mail is now switching their attacks to Trump. I see this as a good sign, as it also happened in 2020, when the conservative mood shifted against him.

What these shit heels don't realize about comedy (and why they're not funny) is that you can joke about stereotypes but it has to be true to be funny.  (Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Trae Crowder, etc.)

The "white man taco" or whatever is funny because it's true.
