That's news to me. Do you have a source? I do know he loves McDonald's, KFC, and steaks done extra well done served with ketchup.

I do want to mention that although I detest Trump with a passion and do believe he's a damnable fascist and among the very worst people ever to come out of the American culture, with no interest whatsoever in upholding the rule of law, protecting the constitution, or improving the quality of life for anyone but billionaires, I still do acknowledge all Americans (and the world) are stuck with him being the U.S. president. So if he happens to do anything good, anything at all, I will support him on that. I have some hopes that he won't be as bad as I had feared on Ukraine (but he still might), but as far as domestic issues, I have zero expectations. What's all the Musk cutting about? To pay for more tax cuts for billionaires of course.

Perhaps all those regions but a theory I've heard is that Italian Americans being busy overworked Americans were looking for shortcuts and that was a big reason to go with ricotta which you can buy in a store vs. bechamel which you make from scratch. One Italian restauranteur in Thailand mentioned to me that he avoids ricotta in general because it spoils quickly, which indeed it does. Never had a lasagna in Thailand that meets my tastes. Not only the ricotta which you don't get but I like spinach in there as well. There is an American place in Pattaya that sometimes does lasagna on special and there is some ricotta in there but it's a pathetic homeopathic portion of it. You really want it in your face!

Talking about BOTH guys. Donald Trump’s Lame-Duck Presidential Candidacy - WSJ Donald Trump’s Lame-Duck Presidential Candidacy Iowa and New Hampshire primary voters have to choose between four more old years or eight new years.

No.

Hey however this goes I got to title a topic Holy Rigatoni. Mamma mia life is good.

Stuffed pizza doesn't interest me but it sells well at American pizza chains.

Can't run again.

You're just wrong.

That was silly. Kind of like Taco Bell's attempt to do the Mexico market.

Glad to give you a bit of pleasure so you didn't troll in vain.

Not surprising. The best Thai bbq chicken, green curry, steak salad, pork neck salad, and custard dessert I ever had was in California.

He was impeached twice. Fact.

It's a fact that he will be a lame duck. Not opinion. Fact.

Yes. Fact.

Close enough. Too close.

The carbonara story is very funny too. Most carbonara in Pattaya has cream even in "Italian" restaurants. I met an Italian guy in California who was a regular visititor there in a city with world class regional Italian restaurants with world class chefs. He refused to eat even one bite of Italian food outside Italy. Not because he wanted to eat everything else which is a good reason but because he was convinced it was all going to be bad.

Yeah and to this day that's how I like my lasagna with ricotta. I hate bechamel with lasagna. Its fun to tell Italians that and watch them respond with disgust.

Pretty much every kind of pizza is available in the US including the same styles as are common in Italy made with imported Italian ingredients. But yeah the most popular USA styles are different.

You didn't mention it. I did. Because the number of states is irrelevant. But I see now you're just into playing silly hair splitting games and have no interest in a sincere discussion which I seeded with my reply about the binary choice. So waste of my time to further engage. BYE.

I never said that. In the electoral college it's not about the number of states, but the number of electoral votes. So winning California and New York is massive. Winning Delaware is trivial. Yes Trump did win a decisive electoral vote victory, but no landslide in either the electoral or popular vote, and he didn't even make it to a majority (50 percent).

Most of us have noticed that Italians are particularly a protective bunch of prima donnas when it comes to their food. Even compared to the French, they really take the cake on that! But this video suggests that much of their food snobbery and arrogance is based on a lot of myths and hot air. Pasta for your thoughts?

Polls aren't elections. Polls were mixed. You said you weren't a Trump guy but based on your narrative here, you're obviously being less than honest.

Well, I would put it another way. The US has a two party system. Not mandated by the constitution but that's the practical reality. So in presidential elections they always have only a binary choice. Yes, globally people currently for the most part want change and are rejecting incumbents. The democrats particularly Biden made a huge mistake. Had he not run and let it be a normal primary system most likely the democrats would have nominated more of an outsider candidate not locked into the Biden association. So Biden in dropping out so late leaving no time for a competitive primary, created a near impossible long shot for the insider of insiders, his flippin' vice president. However, I still think bringing an insurrectionist obviously authoritarian to power was a very stupid and dangerous choice. But I do understand how it happened. Sure.

Yes. Hard to disagree. But the margin of victory was only 1.5 percent.
