She had no real political power, but was incessantly and unjustly slut-shamed and used as a safe punching bag
Colin Jost would like a word.
I mean, I was around during all that (Bill Clinton was the first President I voted for). The Republicans absolutely lost their shit that the missile strikes were a distraction from the Ken Starr crap. So this is technically true in that at the time they were blaming Lewinski. Remember “she seduced him” and all that…
What do you expect, he was a mile from the front, where was he supposed to get olives?
Switching from Bourbon to Scotch is surpassingly effective. Even cheap bourbon has an okay-ish smoothness that invites more sipping. Cheap Scotch has that lighter-fluid finish that discourages going and topping off the glass. I had a bit of Glenmorangie 10 Year left from the holidays, and even that was a harsher sip.…
My other grandfather, who never got overseas in the war, was a lifelong Regan Democrat. Also never kept his .45 and never owned a gun again. Also lived an upper-middle class area and you largely never talked politics with their neighbor. You knew who did what for jobs and if they went to the same church, but that was…
My lifelong Republican grandfather was a combat veteran in the Pacific in WWII. He led a team that helmed his escort carrier (USS Makin Island, Casablanca Class) from a little balcony hanging off the side of the flight deck during some of the biggest battles of the theater.
OG Land Rover Defender - you get what you pay for with those bad boys. Find one relatively affordable and it’ll be rusting and needing a lot of mechanical work.
I’ve gotta try more mocktails. I think part of my drinking is more OCD than addiction. Like, I feel like I “need” to have the drink nearby, even if I’m letting it sit and get watered down (by ice melting) to the point I just dump it and get a new drink. I waste a lot of (cheap) bourbon that way.
Yeah, I’m trying to cut down on all my intakes, so I gave up the clears after the holidays. Only the occasional Martini when I go out for dinner (which is basicall never).
Alton Brown’s martini shakes the vermouth over ice first, then dump it and stir the gin.
Pedro’s stubble is real (watch his Google answers thing with Oscar Isaac), but the perp above looks like he does that on purpose.
I’m exaggerating somewhat, at his age I don’t think he’s picking up a hammer much anymore, and if he does it’s more of a publicity thing. But still, not a bad think to stump for regardless. I’m sure there’s experienced carpenters around to make sure stuff is up to code.
I’m guessing if it had been a senate campaign, where the whole state votes, the scrutiny on him would have been massively higher and he’d never made it past the primary.
It works for some dads.
The article said both Porter and Adam Schiff have announced they’re running.
Jimmy Carter is still building houses! Will it kill him? Maybe, but he’s also not in any kind of leadership position that depends on him.
I am all for responsible gun ownership. If they are actively trying to turn a problematic range into a legitimate sporting club, that’s one thing, like a golf course* with a 19th hole. But if they’re turning it into a MAGA playhouse that actively trains South American fascists, fuck them into eternity.
