TSA Agent: “You are hiding ranch in your carry-on aren’t you?”

@Holden114 @neoavatara No, because with Harris, there's a better chance of reasonable conservatives returning to power. Now, we're risking DSA-adjacent control for at least 4 years.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.

And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.

Here is what they are discovering:

Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.

Then they found the grocery stores.

Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.

The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.

They finally understand why we do not have trains.

We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.

Why would we need trains.

The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.

Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.

Write that down. 🦋

Good times…

@IamBradC @BrandonEffDub Better than it was

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

I finally unfollow Zaid Jilani. I couldn’t take it anymore

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC @BrandonEffDub Not a sports guy. I like what Bari is doing at CBS, if for no other reason than the left is freaking out over her

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC A guy who presented himself as heterodox until the Jews were involved

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@BrandonEffDub He showed his ass after 10/7

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC Me too. Our worldview differences are around when to go to war and when not to.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

There's something weird going on here. Even if he regretted this war, which would be justifiable given the ineptitude of his handling of it, he's handling the negotiations with a tone that paints him as weak and as the patsy. It's bizarre.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Trump sold out America. That's who he is.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC I hear you. I'm not much for long conversations on here anymore, but when I get pissy enough, I have to yell at someone

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC I do respect it; I just think you're wrong

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC I think that's naive, and I think blaming Israel is lazy.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@bdomenech Maybe he should find 67 votes to reverse it.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

@IamBradC I respect your opinion, but I don't believe the IRGC is going to forego their millenarianist plan to build a nuke to destroy Israel and thus usher in the 12th Imam because Trump gave them money. I don't think that was Trump's plan.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

Unless....there's something benefiting him and/or his family personally.

[Chris @TheBBingDead]

There's a case for starting this war, and a case for not starting it. There's no justifiable reason to expend American blood and then negotiate your way to a position weaker than where you started.
