Honestly, for me, it was when they took the grilled chicken sandwich off the menu. They had the best grilled chicken in fast food, and they replaced with a thoroughly mid wrap.

The vast majority of us have nothing to do with it. It’s dumb senate rulemaking that has metastisized over the last 250 years. It does only take a simple majority to pass legislation in the Senate, but it takes 60% to end debate on a bill (this is called “cloture”). In the past, Senators would take advantage of this by simply talking incessantly until a cloture vote was called just to get them to shut up so the Senate can move on with business (a maneuver called the filibuster). At some point, the Senate decided to streamline things by allowing Senators to simply signal their intent to filibuster, so that they can just not call a vote for that bill and move on to other business. And now, since it takes literally zero effort to filibuster a bill, almost every bill gets filibustered, giving us the de facto 60 vote requirement.

Seriously, this country needs an enema, and the Senate is where you’d stick the hose.

Finally made it. The flavor is about what I remember, but I remember the crust being thicker than it came out. I wonder if it might benefit from a prove before the par-bake.

Also, I’m already thinking of ways to uplift this recipe, lol. Primary idea is using EVOO in the crust instead of vegetable oil.

You asked…

Mamdani beat Cuomo for the Democratic nomination, but because of the way New York elections work, Cuomo was able to keep running as the candidate of another party, which he founded specifically for this election.

I don’t think that there’s any authority that “banned” it, but the whole “stranger danger” panic of the '80s has made sure that nobody will ever eat your homemade treats, and it might attract unwanted law enforcement attention if any kids do eat them and become sick (even if the sickness is unrelated). Too many tales of poison, razor blades, etc inserted into candy.

I do remember getting home with my Halloween haul, and my parents going through it, throwing out anything homemade and anything with a damaged wrapper.

Milk Duds aren’t malt balls, though. They’re chocolate covered caramels.

You might be thinking of Whoppers.

Lesson for the day:

More money != Better than

And he wants $1 trillion to keep burying the company.

And he’ll probably get it.

What a world we live in.

It’s actually a test for dementia patients, to gauge how severe their disease is. That he’s being asked to take it at all is… not good.

Though I’m not really sure if I would prefer him lucid or impaired. It’s not like he was a good person when he was in full command of his faculties.

My wife and I have a bottle of champagne that was a wedding gift. The day it happens is the day we uncork the bottle.

He lies a lot, true. But he always tells the truth when he’s talking about his plans to fuck over this country for his own benefit.

Pretty sure they’re going to try to hold out until after January 2028, so they can get the maximum time in office out of him.

Unless Trump’s increasing unpopularity endangers the project, of course.

Yeah, I’d take issue with the idea that nobody really cares.

Nobody in power cares, but that’s not the same.

Especially when he openly said it was coming, over and over again.

I know Trump lies a lot, but when he says he’s going to do something that causes pain to everyone but himself, he’s generally telling the truth about that.

You mean the transphobe who destroys homeless people’s meager possessions and platforms Nazis? Gross.

We don’t need to settle for that sleazeoid. We can do way better.

He knew about it WAAAAY before this year. He only did something about it now because it was interfering with his political ambitions.

He’s a disingenuous Nazi twat, and anyone still defending him at this point should really reconsider calling themselves antifascist.

ICE is a government agency, so in theory, they still have some accountability. The Proud Boys have none.

Sure. That’s why Pete Hegseth was chased out of public life in shame as soon as everyone found out about his Deus Vult tattoos.

Mainstream media isn’t soft pedaling this because they like Democrats, they’re doing it because they like Nazis. Nazis have already coopted the Republicans, and our billionaire overlords would like nothing more than to see them coopt the Democrats too.

Yes, but the bigger question is, if it was a mistake, why didn’t he remedy it in the part 20 years since? He apparently did learn it was a Tottenkopf at some point, if the reports that he has told others that exact thing are to be believed; why wait to cover it up until he was running for office?

Also, he had it covered with a Norse wolf, which, Nazis appropriate Norse imagery to cover up their most unsavory bullshit is a whole goddamn thing…
