My mom likes some canned or spiral sliced ham. Canned is just gross, and the spiral spiced version is just a PITA to work with. 100% agree with eliminating the intermediate step.
One of the best meals I ever had was a lamb stir fry made with some leftover chops. It was one of the last meals I ate with my wife before she lost the ability to feed herself, but sentiment aside it was just so damn tasty.
If you're referring to the one that existed back in the early Obama years, it lasted all of 2 months, and there was a boatload of other stuff going on.
Lovely. Just in time for my UK vacation. I wonder if the people who voted for Trump because they want "government ran like a business" stopped to consider the businessman they elected bankrupted a casino.
It's not what he's saying. It's what people who'd advocate for his deportation would say.
As for mocking them for the positions they hold, don't you think people who'd join the cult of personality surrounding a known grifter are pretty much impervious to mockery? DJT is the living embodiment of all the bitterness they feel and he's their instrument for inflicting that on the rest of us.
“I’m just happy to be here. Hope I can help the ball club. I know. Write it down. I just want to give it my best shot, and the good Lord willing, things will work out.”
This would be an excellent line of thinking if the factories used to produce the stuff currently being tariffed still existed. Also, cheap labor exists in this world, and it ain't in the United States.
If only there was a deliberative body outlined in the Constitution that could handle a considered response to foreign tariffs! One that was leery about ceding its authority even.
The chorus I sing with is having our spring shows this weekend. https://www.voicesofhopecc.org/concerts-and-events/upcoming-concerts/ You can probably guess what the closer will be. I'm more excited that we'll be singing ELO's Mr. Blue Sky. If you're near Chicago, come on out!
The Dems ran a gun control activist for the House in Florida? They probably weren’t going to win anyway, but for God’s sake at least give yourselves a chance!
I'm looking at retirement in the next couple of years, so I switched to mostly cash a few weeks back.
The last time we saw anything this idiotic was Smoot-Hawley. At least that was voted on by Congress, so the perpetrators could be gotten rid of in a couple years. Now that Congress has inexplicably ceded that authority to the president, we have 4 years of this idiocy.

I dearly wish I wasn't the only one in my family who likes lamb. Every year on Easter I'm stuck eating some terrible ham.

It’s kind of hard to believe there’s anything worth bombing still in Gaza, but I guess when you run out of buildings there’s always people.

Yep. At some point (hopefully) someone's going to have to say, "You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

That assumes there was a compromise to be had. Hell's bells, Republicans scuttled their own bill last summer to appease DJT and his ilk.

When the law ceases to function, lawlessness will take its place. If it were to happen, it'd be a self-inflicted wound.
