@DanAlban@greggnunziata Also, how is there no Marvin Zindler / Slime in the Ice Machine GIF?!?! Does taking down the Chicken Ranch and then doing campy restaurant health reports for decades mean nothing?!?!
@DanAlban@greggnunziata This hits a certain generation of Houstonians right in the nostalgia (we can't believe we're adulting, but we can sing the "slime in the ice machine" song). We might not have expected the political shift, but no one deserves it more than the current GOP, esp. its Texas avatars.
@Hi_IQ_Trump@pjaicomo Celebrating the end of slavery is deeply important for all Americans, as it was a great stain on this nation's promise of freedom.
Other days *could* work, but I haven't heard a better proposal than Juneteenth, both for what it was historically & what is has come to mean.
@Hi_IQ_Trump@pjaicomo That would be great!!
I'm such a big fan of #Loving that I litigated another case under the same name (chose who'd be the named plaintiff) to vindicate #EconomicLiberty against the #IRS. We shut down federal tax-preparer #licensing!
Why haven't you made it so already?!
Juneteenth celebrates the end of chattel slavery in America—one of the greatest triumphs of individual liberty in history.
Furthermore, freeing individuals from state-compelled labor is self-evidently anti-communist.
Libertarians should cheer Juneteenth without reservation.
@Hi_IQ_Trump@DanAlban@pjaicomo Yup, I agree, it was definitely a flaw in my character that the extreme idiocy of you position drew me into breaking my years-long policy of not engaging. I really should have known better.
@Hi_IQ_Trump@DanAlban@pjaicomo "I proved that not every American cares about this holiday by posting that *I* don't care" is maybe not the win you think it is.
@Hi_IQ_Trump@DanAlban@pjaicomo Do you even realize that both @DanAlban and @pjaicomo have dedicated their professional lives to holding government accountable? That one of them won a massive Supreme Court victory today and both are engaged in years years-long litigation to protect the rights of everyone?
@DanAlban@thelivelyboise I often think @DanAlban is too hard on restaurants--he has high standards b/c he used to work as a server and knows how things should be done, I'm more forgiving and usually say we shouldn't complain--but this was outrageous. Confusing, dishonest, and poor customer service.
@DanAlban@thelivelyboise Why on earth was the receipt so confusing! Two lawyers looked at it and couldn't understand what was going on. We thought we were paying after both certificates were deducted, but after running the card the charge was suddenly much higher.
@DanAlban@thelivelyboise Ruined what was otherwise a very nice dinner. Food was lovely, but their refusal to honor the gift certificate, and treating us like we were trying to cheat them, left a very bad taste.
@DanAlban Ultimately, 9-10 months later, every reference he mentioned had this conversation with former @FBI investigators for @USDOJ:
Interviewer: Is he loyal to the US government?
Reference:😶 . . . well, he's definitely not *more loyal* to any *other* government . . .
