Well the staff of my Chatramue hang out have this habit of constantly chatting/laughing while preparing customer orders (salary seems to be their favorite topic...) But seriously I think it's their Cracker Jack prize campaign leak.

He looks gaunt, probably lost some weight, not like the Donnie we used to...hate (and still do.) Better watch out for an impending heart attack though.

1st sentence: concentrated "milk" to be exact. 2nd sentence: really? the "only" part is simply not true, and re the "tastes good" part: You know how the VNmese drink their filtered coffee? By putting the whole set into a bowl of hot water, to keep it relatively hot while waiting for the liquid to drip and that could take a while. How that process can make good coffee is doubtful. Granted they produce excellent beans, which deserve better than a century-old knick knack. Don't buy into the hype.

Just wanted to show off my new merch autumn line.... (tshirt, toilet paper, kleenex - with tag line "Don't cry for me, Georgia!" - all coming soon.)

This reminds me of an episode in my earlier life Hollywood in the 90s. My roommate has an old Brit friend, let's call him Alan, in his 60s who lived alone in Los Angeles Chinatown on a UK veteran pension (his Brit family had disowned him a long time ago, after him coming out to them.) Once a week, we got to go out together for a weekend dinner, like a family of sort with Alan taking the role of the mother hen. One weeknight, Wednesday night I think, my roommate was out of town, I was in the apartment when Alan called. I only heard him leaving a message on my roommate answering machine in his bedroom, so I didn't pay much attention, except there seemed to be a lot of coughing... When my roommate came home Sunday I told him about Allan's raspy message. We listened together and it was Alan having a hard time putting sentence together under heavily labored breath that he was driving himself to the emergency room, for something like pneumonia (this was long past the AIDS era.) Then there was a following message, that came Friday, by which a nurse from the hospital notifying my roommate that his friend had passed away that morning. We looked at each other in stunned silence, the same scenario playing in our head: that Alan had driven himself to the emergency room, got placed in a ward somewhere and died alone two days later without anyone next of kin (which would be my roommate, and to certain extent me) standing by his bed. That's the reason that I, a resolute confirmed bachelor, corralled myself into marital life soon after hitting 60's in the Land of Smiles.

This was the subject of an Austrian movie made about a decade ago ("Paradise - Love"), making a small splash on the European cinema circuit. Since then business has been as usual, I'm glad Asean Now finally picked up the news.

How satisfied I am seeing Mark Meadows featuring at last - but kind of perplexed at the same time: If he was able to get pass Jack Smith list, why wasn't he with Fani's? Answering self: probably because Fani has little use of him...

Why not sell the fridge then to get some cash?

And my "operative" point here is that I don't care a hoot for this "conservative Hoover Institution senior staffer" opinion. Not one bit for neither "conservative" nor " Hoover" nor "Institution" nor "senior" nor his "credentials..." I could post here the link to "slit-throat" De Santis opinion as well. But I refrain myself, just for the sake of other readers on this thread. (You're welcome.)

While waiting for Judge Chutkan's "coup de hammer," here's a recap of:

And apparently a glutton for rebuttal. No, they got a lot of return for whatever capitql they doled out...For just a line or two, embedded with a few button-pushing choice words, they would usually get back a screenful of logic and facts for rebuttal....which they use to wipe their behind with, then rinse and repeat.

But who cares? stop bandying about the name of a, to use Trump language, "washed-up has-been wannabe." This old man "effectively" got off Virginia Giuffre's case by keeping his panties on during massage, nevertheless his notoriety has gone down hill since. And repeat, no one cares a straw (sorry for bringing up the image) about his "smoking gun."

BREAKING NEWS: As an antidote to Alan Dershowitz "explanations," listen to what Expert on Fascism WARNS of Trump and MAGA’s NEW THREATS after Indictment

Sad to hear, Last time I checked, sarcasm is alive and well in the US, both in and out of politics. But I agree that to some folks, it doesn't seem to register...

Mea culpa not needed - Humor, just like grace under pressure, is the mark of an accomplished man (my own definition). Your "satirical, acerbic, acid or caustic comment of the highest order" was an unexpected break for levity - delicious satire for a jaded soul like me - unfortunately, it fell in at a time when folks are feeling rather hi-strung. But don't let that stop you... Looking forward to your interpretation of the upcoming superseding version (that hopefully would include Hunter's "crime of the century" and his laptop, among other "facts.") PS - Just make sure you put up this banner <<< SARCASM ALERT!!!>>> at the top of your next post. (Yeah, sad but true.)

Inadvertently a totally palatable translation of 3rd Indictment in readable form to the MAGA crowd: succinct, easy to understand and most importantly, citing all the proper charges - and the "real criminal" (Biden).

Never! He's "too honest" for that... (only pleading the 5th to the tune of 400+ times in one sitting.)

No need to argue with whom the notion of fact/truth no longer matters... Imagine In every zombie movie, there's a mandatory scene where a lone zomb arrives at the empty town square, starting to engage with any unlucky passers-by and heckling to itself in the process.. you'll get the picture.

Please stop the bragging and have some sympathy for those going through existential crisis... Their master is on the chopping block, for christ sake!

Yep, the give-away was the inclusion of trump regarded as "a honest man." A self-respecting trumper would never say that word, it burns the inside of their mouth. I gave it a thump up (loved the "real criminal (Biden)" tail end.)

You just don't understand - The MAGA dna dictates that when it's fact you have to say it's accusation. And vice versa. Same with "Stop the steal" meaning you have to go stop AND steal. It's "the thief sounding the alarm," strategically speaking. Easy hint: when they accuse you of attacking them, that's the code phrase saying they admit it. And so on.

No way Jose - that's anathema to the MAGA crowd raison d'etre! (Apology for the choice of foreign words.)

And don't forget the resounding slap on the face to the FBI on worldwide tv when at Helsinki Trump declared on the podium that he rather get intel from his chum Putin. Traitor, anyone?

They might be clueless in many respects, but as for VIOLENCE, they are well clued in. In fact, it was Boebert and the likes who gave Capitol tours to "red cap visitors" days before, and when the mob went in chanting "Nancy where are you?" wanting to drag her out by the hair down the stairs (rhyme unintended) - it was her who CLUED them in as to where Pelosi was. The same with Josh Hawley giving the mob a punch salute on the front steps that very morning to the mob ready to "fight like hell." And what did Mark Meadows - who now must be singing like a canary - communicate to the mob headquarters at the Windham (?) hotel the night before? on how to draw up a peace treaty? Those names still make my blood boil.
