2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

I aint gonna lie, I ducked into Chili's a couple of times on my recent national park roadie when I was rolling into some rando town like Rapid City later at night staying in hotel alley. And that $10.99 pick 3 deal slammed with cold beer(s). But I never expected to actually visit a Chili's where there was a chance it could be documented/verified. Is my time in the Chili's closet short-lived? Can  we get the OG location on Lamar to install bidets by Wednesday? So many questions.

Jesus. Just go back to your room and crank up the Hall & Oates.

So I can think about the fucking restraining order between those two?

Thank you, but no, I'll just grab an REO Speedwagon LP off the shelf.

When she was at Howard, she frequented a dive popular with students, Ben’s Chili Bowl. And she grew chile peppers at the VP’s residence. That’s enough of a connection.
Chili’s is the official “if Kamala wins, we celebrate here” HQ.

OK then. How do we take this thing national and swamp every Chili's in the country?

We've had 5 years of hysterical ledge talk, and two days before an election, it just vanishes.

The stress of 5 years of hysteria has broken our rains and put us in a manic state.

Who knows what Chili's we might wake up in when it wears off?

Maybe the real Chili's was the drunken friends we made along the way...

What the fuck is that meat-like product floating around in the skillet queso anyway?  
 

Whatever it is, I’ll have more of it please. And some of those chips that get stuck together and become a triple or quadruple layered crunchy as fuck mega chip.

Are we as a country so fucking brain broken that while the stock market is at an all time high, a candidate for president can run on a message that America hasn’t been worse than 1984?

I mean, we’ve had recessions, a tech bubble, an earth shattering terrorist attacl, a multiple decades war, a war that was based on lies and destabilized the Middle East, a near collapse of the capitalistic order in 08, a global pandemic that cause a stock market crash not seen since the 08 crash, millions of Americans dead bc of Covid, and the guy throwing ficking rocks is the guy during the Covid collapse and is responsible for the terrible response to it!

WTF?!

I hate things. I hate people.

Why are you talking about this stuff? MAGA means pre women voting great again, it means pre desegregation great again, it means great again for white males.

Our conversation every time (rarely) we go to a Chili’s:

Me - ”ugh, I don’t want to go there.”

Her - ”I don’t either. Where else can we go?”

Me and Her - ”_______? No  _______? Nah  ______? Too far.  _____? Too _____.  Let’s just go to Chili’s”

[Eat at Chili’s]

Her - ”Well, that was tolerable “

Me - ”Yup I don’t need to vomit.”

Both - “ Success!”

Every time.

Welp- there is only one Chili's in the state of Washington, and none (!) in Oregon.

So... It might be a while before I'll be free to join the party.

Closest Chilis is in Alexandria, VA.  I love you guys, but I am not crossing the Potomac for you.

There appears to be some confusion on when to go to Chilis. It’s Wednesday unless you are night shift and/or working. 
 

But Clintonaldo, I went there 2 days ago so that must count right ? Fuck no. Go back. It’s good

Ask and you shall receive, my friend. 
 

Kamala Harris’s journey to the presidency began in her childhood, growing up in a multicultural family that cherished community and togetherness. Every Friday, her family would gather at their local Chili’s, where the sizzling fajitas and endless chips and salsa sparked a love for both food and camaraderie. It was here, amid the laughter and warmth, that young Kamala developed her belief in inclusivity and the importance of community bonds.

As she grew older, Kamala discovered a fierce admiration for Aubrey Plaza. The actress’s wit, confidence, and unapologetic authenticity resonated deeply with her. Inspired by Aubrey’s unique approach to life, Kamala began to envision a future where everyone could love freely, leading her to champion LGBTQ+ rights passionately. 

The more Kamala learned about the challenges faced by marginalized communities, the more determined she became to fight for equality. She often joked with friends that her desire to protect gay marriage was fueled not just by her commitment to justice, but also by her aspiration to one day share a margarita at Chili’s with Aubrey Plaza, celebrating love in all its forms.

Fueled by her love for Chili’s and a heart full of ambition, Kamala decided to take her passion to the national stage. Her dream became clear: to unite the country, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their love story, could feel the same warmth she felt on those Friday nights. With every step of her political journey, she carried the spirit of Chili’s and the inspiration of her girl crush, ready to make history and create a more inclusive future for all.

I heard talk of a Presidente margarita?  Is that the preferred drink of choice at Chili's or do we slip in a few Bud Lights in honor of Kid Rock?

It’s also fun to have ChatGPT imagine the other side of the story

Once upon a time in a bustling city, a young Donald Trump decided to treat himself to his favorite indulgence: baby back ribs at Chili's. He had been looking forward to this meal all week, imagining the savory flavors and tender meat. But when he arrived, disaster struck—the restaurant had run out of ribs.

Frustrated and disappointed, Trump found himself staring at the menu, forced to order a salad instead. As he sat there, watching families enjoy their meals, he felt a growing sense of injustice. Why should he, a man of success and ambition, be denied his craving? The salad felt like a symbol of everything he despised: compromise, mediocrity, and a lack of control.

In that moment of resentment, Trump began to see the world through a different lens. He became fixated on the idea that external forces—like immigrants—were to blame for his misfortune. To him, they represented the chaos that disrupted his vision of a perfect society, one where he could always have his ribs and never settle for less.

This incident ignited a fire within him. He began to embrace a narrative of strength and authority, vowing to take charge and restore what he believed was rightfully his. No longer just a businessman, he transformed into a figure driven by the desire for power, promising to rid the country of the elements he deemed responsible for his salad. Thus, the seeds of his authoritarian aspirations were sown, forever altering the political landscape.

Well, I told Mrs GOTJ about the Wednesday Call to Arms (full of drinks & skillet queso) @ Chili's. Since she waitressed at one part time for a couple years as an undergrad thirty years ago & her ex actually managed the one off I35 by Lincoln Village she said "hell to the fucking no."

I may swing by the Chili's off Pecan Park by Lakeline Mall for a quick beer or two.

Tell her she should be shame for supporting Trump and his hate for Chili's. lol

If this race still isn’t called by Thursday I’m going to have aneurysm and a lot of chili’s are going to run out of chips and tequila.

We have one of these guys Sean Still, how is indicted for being a fake elector, running for state Senate here, and he's in a highly Republican area and likely to win.  Interesting though, we have young guy named Ashwin Ramaswami running against him and spending money advertising against him.  Ramaswami is all of 21 years old, but he's giving it a go.  I highly doubt national money is going to this, and I do at least find Ramaswami's claim to be a successful small business man to be at least humorous (again he's 21 years old). 

There is, however and interesting aspect to this, the area that is being contested, while highly Republican, does have a significant and growing Indian population.  I'm interested to see how that plays out.

I'm sorry.  This is bullshit.  These states need to be able to count their votes for fucking Thursday.  This happened last time.  It was Friday and Saturday and they were still dicking around.  Meanwhile, states like FL are essentially done that night.  I understand the reasons but there needs to be some uniformity.  Otherwise, you get the election conspiracy types.  "THEY'RE FINDING VOTES!!!"

ZQXSSFM Crossing The Swamp with ...

List of figures from left to right: Nikki Haley, James Mattis, Ben Carson, President Trump, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Sarah Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway, John Kelly

And Donald Trump crossed the swamp with a bunch of rinos that have gone on to say he's a fascist and a threat to democracy.

Anyone who votes for anyone other than Kamala Harris is an absolute idiot.

If you have the chance to vote against Mussolini, you do it.  You don't need to know the other candidate's platform.  You don't even need to know their name.  You just show up and vote for not-fascism.  Or you could vote for not-convicted-felon.  Or not-rapist.  Or not-racist.  Or not-isolationist-nationalist-xenophobe.

How can so many people not understand this?  If you're still undecided, or you're considering a third party, you're too stupid to be called a moron.  We need a new word.

Like that we are coming around and comparing Trump to the fascist that more aligns with his being a colossal grifter and failure and needing to get bailed out constantly…
