A few things. First, olives are usually harvested (in the Northern Hemisphere) in November. Always try to get the freshest olive oil you can. Check the bottles. Speaking of bottles, no reputable or serious producer will bottle their olive oil in a transparent container (be it plastic or glass). Olive oil oxidizes…

I throw it on crusty bread, a bit of Siracha salt (not usually) and the freshest olive oil I have (I live in Spain so, in November, its Oro de Bailén picked a week beforehand or, these days, three months beforehand). It’s insane. If anyone needs any recommendations for olive oil (Castillo de Canena, CLADIVM, OdB),…

I live in Spain (where, incidentally, the pronunciations of the name of the article’s author, “guiri” means (white) foreigner). They don’t eat a lot of avocado here. But I got my wife to try it and she’s a convert. Then I had a daughter. I was never more proud when, recently at 11 months, she eschewed potatoes for my…

I grew up in Montana, a conservative Western Republican (states rights, etc), actually graduated with Ivanka from Penn in 2004 (totally normal). Went to law school and deregistered from the party when Bush nominated Harriet Meiers. That level of incompetence and tin-eared pandering to people who don’t understand how…

/hears scream from living room.................... “Uhhh, honey, I was in the bathroom and I think our sweet little daughter accidentally stumbled across some amateur porn site and cast it to the TV!”

And just a fart? I blame all sorts of miscreancy on my 15-month old!

E pur si muove!

I hadn’t thought about that, thanks for pointing it out (the comparison, not Chri Berman’s inability to carry anything longer than a deli-sub; we’ve all thought about that).

Yup, but nobody says “stay away from the Flavor-Aid” so, eh, whataryagunnado?

“It should have been Kirkland—saving them bundles!” — Soon-to-be-fired Costco social-media marketer.

I’d be willing to bet that this next cycle will be an outlier. The immense manevolent ineptitude of Trump and his team is sure to provoke people in a way that hasn’t been seen in modern America’s political landscape.

Stay away from the Kool-Aid at all costs.

The magnitude of incompetence is staggering. This pretty much lays it out perfectly: https://lawfareblog.com/malevolence-tempered-incompetence-trumps-horrifying-executive-order-refugees-and-visas It’s amateur hour. I no longer live in the US (Madrid) and, being a non-practicing lawyer, I’m constantly bombarded with…

He managed to get the foreign minister of Qatar to criticize the US for its immigration ban. QATAR! The place where they take away your passport when you arrive from Bangladesh or Pakistan and keep you prisoner to work on their buildings for pennies and without air conditioning. THEY consider themselves to have the…

Why deport him? Just keep him in indefinite detention at an airport. I don’t want him seeing his family either; he’s too much of a risk to the US to have that luxury.

Please, read that link and give us your rebuttal. Also, for shits n’ giggles, read the link in the FP piece to the Brookings’ Lawfare article. As a (former) Republican lawyer, I assure you you’re being made a fool.

Donny isn’t really the problem; he’s merely the electable face of a program pogrom. FTFY.

And yet, if they focused on highly-educated immigration (I can see you’re not familiar with immigration policy in the US, but I’ll play along, arguendo, and pretend your fictional world is the one that exists), you’d complain that they’re taking jobs from educated Americans (a cohort that seemingly doesn’t include…

Honestly, this is how I have to dress in my office in Madrid in the winter. I come back after running 15k during my siesta break. I’m a red-faced foreigner sweating even as it’s -2 outside. My secretary is cold as soon as it hits 80F.

When I was still in undergrad and law school I would bring wheels of cheeses and jamón de bellota back with me (because at the time there weren’t enough FDA inspectors to approve the best ham) after visiting my girlfriend (now wife). And Deva absinthe. /shudder
