Yeah, my boss who is an awesome, badass bitch (in the best possible way), wears some wild, hippie-esque clothing in the office and generally celebrates the Keep Austin Weird-vibe broke my heart on Friday. We were both WFH and on the Teams call I noticed in the corner of her desk she had a shiny new Trump 2024 Yeti. Her husband's high up in construction so I guess I shouldn't be that surprised, but they also have a daughter who's a HS senior and for the life of me I just can understand that disconnect.

I work for a construction company. Most of the local leadership is anti-Trump. Little comments here and there so as to not piss other people off. But we know who we are.

OTOH, the subcontractors I’ve talked to in the past few months are VERY pro-Orange shitstain. They think interest rates will magically go down if he’s elected. Never mind the economic realities of the past 4 years that affected monetary and fiscal policy.

A conversation with my wife:

”We have to go to Chili’s when Kamala wins.”

”…Why?”

”Because that’s what Surly is doing.”

”We have to go to Chili’s because of Surly.”

“Yes.”

”If Surly jumped off a bridge..”

”Yes.”

sigh”

 

hug her for me, pleeease

Do they still make the chicken sandwich with bacon at Chili's? I used to eat that on the regular in college. That and some skillet queso on Wednesday would be lovely.

Wed is too late. We need that Chili's energy on Tue night. Similar to our chicken fried steak efforts to land Quinn Ewers from the portal. 

tell imnmamac to start the petition

I want to be a good Surly soldier, but having now looked at the menu online….

Yeah I ate at the recently opened Four Points location (walked over from Discount tire)and got a massive case of food poisoning.  From a salet.

That location shut down

Hard pass.

Somewhat related, my wife asked me how I was getting updates so quick last night. I told I'd prefer not to answer that question

She doesn’t post here anymore but she’s an asshole just like the rest of us. I love her. 
 

And she apparently loves me, too.

I deal with a lot of subs as well and am genuinely shocked how many think Trump is a genius.  And that he would pay them.

Also not a surprise. The last week has been a push for the margins, bc they’ve turned out or contacted all of their base or groups favorable to them. 

I too read it as their internal numbers are good enough they chase less likely votes.

That’s a group that absolutely baffles me. It has been well known for decades that Trump lived to fuck those people over.

It was a week ago. Bennigans and then chilis got brought up post montecristo. Now we are all going to chilis because Bennigans doesn't exist.

If y'all really wanted to do it right, you would find a place where you can do a pub-crawl style tour of Chili's, TGIFridays, Cheddars, Fuddruckers, Applebees, Red Lobster, Outback, and Texas Roadhouse....

I'm sure there is a small-medium sized city in Texas or Oklahoma where most of those are in the same strip mall.

He's closing in on an epiphany of self awareness.  That's not usually a great time for malignant narcissists and the people tied to them.

Chili’s lovefest started in 10/24 and has been gloriously kept alive since then.  Kamala’s momentum shift started soon afterwards, so I think we played a part in this, boys.

I'm willing to down several chicken Big Macs if it secures a Harris win* on Tuesday.

 

* She's winning anyway, have felt and said trump was never winning back even when Biden was still in it.

All good.  If they are anything like the subs I deal with, they won’t show up to vote until November 15th

Yeah the most surprising thing about that Selzer poll is the seniors breaking for Kamala. They know what's up. 

Yep. Seniors are much more likely to have seen this movie before, and they know it doesn't end well if people don't stand up and do what's right.

But Wednesday post-election celebratory Chili's was MY idea. If you think I'm too proud to shamelessly claim credit for that, you haven't been paying attention to my posting history.

This place is going to be lit up with more food pictures than your Aunt Cheryl's Facebook after a trip to Paris.

I'm a bit concerned about you, tbh.  You used the word quality positively in the same sentence as Chili's and Applebees.

The new Chili’s smash burger is fucking great. And at $10.99!

Ok so there are the first mentions.

Day shift is crazy too.

Listen, I hate Trump like anyone else with half a brain.

That said, if he promises an ability to opt out of political commercials after I put in my vote, I would reconsider.

Best he can do is get rid of voting altogether

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

 

 

Jr: We need Republican like dog catchers because who knows what they're going to do with those dogs. We've been seeing the videos, I don't know. They’re like.. how dare you say that was a dog? Like it's a dog, it's a cat. It's something with four legs and really small. I can tell you what it's not, it's not a rib eye, it's not something any of you have ever barbecued before. I can assure you that.

I had that conversation Wednesday or Thursday evening with Ms. Francisco.  She laughed when I told her the reason and said "why not".  Now, we have not eaten at a Chili's since she was expecting our first born 14 years ago, and she craved their chicken tortilla soup (and we ate there 1-2 times a week, especially during the third trimester).  We are both prepared to be let down with food quality, but are willing to make that sacrifice in the spirit of the festivities.

 

 

the enchilada soup is delicious!

This seems like it shouldn't be happening in a properly functioning democracy, right?
 

Guessing whoever the building management for Potbelly and Peets got the memo late and they didn't have any good plywood left, that particle board crap won't stand up to much...

Yeah thinking that Dobbs is old news is a huuuuuge mistake.  It's a bit lower profile, but it's now at the state phase and getting real.

I can't wait for some backlash in state elections, where the christofascism has been more subtle and effective.

I was afraid that the outrage would have faded.  I think what's actually happened, is that Dobbs has gone from theory into practice...These women have been impacted directly by this shit, or know somebody that has. Somebody's daughter or sister has had a miscarriage, their trusted, long-time OB/GYN has left the practice (or the state), etc.

  It's probably a stronger incentive for them now then it was the day the decision came down.

That's OSB, not particleboard.  It's solid.

Man, give us the real news. Is Chili's in DC staying open? It's fucking paramount that they do.

I keep forgetting about this. There is seriously a very good chance he goes to prison. 

Kind of hard to believe that has not at all been a part of the campaign. For President of the United States. 

Some people are saying he mimicked giving the mic a blow job due to unconscious muscle memory, as he's been practicing very hard about how to be a good inmate.

I recognize this - somewhere in W Va and the topic was the absurd and quite specific parking mandates for new restaurants. Olive Garden needed more than 100 spots.
