"Volatile" is not the word you are looking for.  The judges would have accepted broken, non-functional, failed, and fucked.

"Volatile" implies unpredictability.  Nothing here is unpredictable. Quite the opposite.  Throw a Republic off a cliff, and gravity will compel it to continue to fall.  That's what's happening.

Good point. Fixed it.

when my hispanic wife and I were just boy and girlfriend, in the early aughts, we went on a 3 week grand tour thanks to her dad financing two tickets to Europe for graduating college.

Anyways way too much detail. 

We started in London and left from Frankfurt with many stops in between. Anyways, we made it to Nuremberg, saw the courtroom where the trial was held (surreal af), and we'd visited dachau and auschwitz on the trip and it was all a bit heavy. 

Then we see a Mexican restaurant right in the middle of Nuremberg with a sign advertising margarita specials. Goddamn did we need a margarita, some enchiladas. The margaritas were fucking terrible so we had like a dozen because we fucking needed them. We were 22. Everything was terrible. But we were 22 and ate all of it.

Anyways, I had a great feeling i was going to get laid that night but we got back to the hotel, my wife bought a snickers and threw that up and passed out

Fin.

F Nuremberg

We shop pretty frugally, there's just two of us, and very rarely we're under $100 for the week at HEB when it's open. And that's usually when we've bought meat or some Rao's frozen or something at Costco, or have other lunch/dinner plans or travelling part of that week. 

Also, we buy almost no drinks there (mostly drink water, coffee, propel/gatorade we get elsewhere), we don't eat breakfast, and don't have kids skewing the required calorie intake. So bare minimum $5200/yr for our HEB bill for 2 middle-aged adults who eat less than kids and teens, and who also buy other groceries at Sam's, Costco, Trader Joe's, etc.

Clay Higgins, who supported both Pat Buchanan and David Duke in 1992, does math like aggy does self-awareness.

The Democrats.  Who control [checking numbers in the various branches of government] not a single one of the branches of government.  Every single branch is controlled by the GQP.  

The GQP has the pilot, co-pilot, and navigator.  And they've locked the cockpit door with the Dems on the other side.  And then ask "why won't the Democrats stop us from flying this plane into a mountain?"

Houston area HEB. We have kept the amount to around $250/week over the past few years but we get significantly less for that money now.

Democrats need to let republicans ruin America as much as they want. Punish Americans for voting Trump into power. Fight cruelty with equal cruelty. Maybe some GOP voters will change their tune when they are literally starving while begging on street corners.

For real.

The only thing the American people truly understand is their own pain.  We've tried to warn huge swaths of them "don't dump over that pot of hot grease, you'll burn us all."  They keep charging towards it, and people with decency keep getting in their way, getting burned in the process.

No more.

You want to dump over 2 gallons of burning hot oil?  Go for it.  See what happens.

Are a lot of people going to suffer greatly?  Absolutely.  But that's going to happen no matter what.  We can get out of the way, and let the path unfold that offers SOME chance of convincing SOME people to correct course.  We need to do that.  

Sucks that people, and children, will suffer.  But we aren't doing it to them.  THEY ARE.  The Republicans insist they'll shoot the hostage.  Fine.  Let 'em.

I know it’s easy to focus on Trump and Vance, but this guy is probably the most genuinely evil person in power.  His ability to lie with a a straight face is breathtaking. 

 

Well, you see, there isn't an app on his phone he can share with his son to monitor his lying. Otherwise, he might be more of a straight-shooter.

It seems like 50-75% of Trump's public statements occur while he is standing in that same door frame of Air Force 1.  Mainly flying to or from some bullshit foreign trip, or back and forth to Palm Beach International airport.  The other 25-50% of the time he is in his gilded room insulting any journalist who dares ask an honest question.  Hold a real press conference you piece of shit.

Whoa. That looks…pretty damn decent. Explain. 

as we heard the story...the owner visited Texas, flipped over the bbq, recruited a pitmaster from Texas, brought him to Paris for a few years and had him train some French folk how to do it right. 

since i no longer live in central Texas and miss the bbq only slightly less than the texmex, we tried it with the expectation that it was probably modified for the French pallete (it didn't really seem like a tourist spot) but would still be good.

it was NOT modified, it 100% tasted like Texas and was in fact better than pretty much any bbq we've tried in Colorado. the sides were also authentic and very tasty.

i mean nobody is going to Paris to find central Texas bbq, but if you're there and decide you want some... it legitimately exists lol. but go early, they do sell out of stuff daily.

One of the interesting dynamics I noticed on Facebook is that about half the Trump apologists are blaming Dems for SNAP being shutdown, but the other half are just attacking the people who need it. The same recycled cruel shit like “get a job” and “don’t feed the animals.”

I like this. This is a wedge issue in the MAGA universe. Fucking Senate Dems should not cave. Poor people need to understand that a good chunk of Republicans believe they should starve.

This has always been the end game. The only way out is through suffering. Every one suffering. The only question is how much suffering we have to go through. And given how deeply entrenched the cult members are, it’s gonna be a lot.

The minute the Reds start suffering it’s over for them because they don’t know how to suffer imo.

As of 4a this morning, IAH has shut down all security checkpoints except for Terminals A & E. Travel until this shit gets worked out is going to be interesting. I hadn’t noticed much difference the past couple of weeks, but funneling everyone through two checkpoints is going to be awful. IAH website shows a 60 minute wait at Terminal E right now at 3:40 on a Saturday afternoon. Glad I have Clear and pre-check.

2. trump doesn't give a fuck who or how many are suffering 

3. he'll blame senate R's in a heart beat to save his skin 

4.  Shutdown keeps the Epstein files under wraps.  (This should be #1).

Understand that every last MAGAt will defend this - without any irony - with “but he’s a job creator!”
The most powerful force in the universe isn’t gravity, or nuclear energy. It’s cognitive dissonance, and it has overwhelmed everything else in our timeline.

How can they tell private businesses what they can charge?

I was thinking the same. If I want to reduce my cost for someone, I am allowed to. 

They cannot increase it for non-snap members.

They have to give the discount to every customer not just SNAP beneficiaries

So it’s illegal to offer discounts only to those that signed up for a store account?

If you take federal money you have to follow federal rules. I know this from dealing with Medicare, Tricare, DOL etc. their stance is if you don’t like our rules you don’t have to take care of our patients. I assume things like SNAP work the same way

I don’t think that answers my question.  A grocery store participates in snap, does the equal treatment for customer rule apply to all customers and all prices, or just snap (or whichever federal program)?

If it works like health care payments, it applies only to the beneficiaries of the government programs

I totally understand the reasons for rules like this. But there is just one small problem: THERE ARE NO SNAP BENEFICIARIES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE NO ONE IS RECEIVING SNAP BENEFITS!

The cruelty is the point.

Yep they can't gouge or discount for people paying with SNAP. But for the time being, no one is paying with SNAP.

I think some places just have less people willing to deal with working while not getting paid. I wouldn't be flying right now it seems very unsafe.
