Or let’s go back to today in Flint, Michigan, where water STILL isn’t clean and people are advised to filter their water.

Had the same reaction looking at Lena’s photo - she is thirsty. Then started thinking to myself what the appropriate equivalent term might be for the Brooklyn hipster set. Parched? Requiring kombucha? Under-artisanally-caffeinated?

Same, don’t want to contribute to his ratings. I saw the WH today was saying Trump might make a last minute call on his immigration policy stance. Which sounds like trying to drum up interest so people will tune in, so Trump can brag about it the next day.

Vegetables can be really sensuous, don’t you think?

Fair enough. What about the guy from the Slim Jims commercials? Is he available?

You know, I was thinking one of those WWE wrestlers whose shtick is to be all amped up wouldn’t be a bad choice as a replacement press secretary. And that isn’t a far cry from Alex Jones, so you may be on the right track.

Do not. Do not even put that out there.

That Alex Jones quote actually gave me skin-crawly goosebumps. Warning: I clicked the Der Spiegel link to read the piece and the cover photo is Alex Jones, shirtless, in front of a plate of meat. Yeeerch.

Exactly - his extreme thin-skinned-ness prevents him from issuing an unequivocal condemnation of these attacks on the JCCs and larger Jewish community. Because acknowledging the attacks in no uncertain terms could open the door to a critique of his rhetoric and “making America great again”.

Trump surprised to learn healthcare is complicated; water is wet.

Regrettably not an actual chef, just a cooking enthusiast who works in finance but dreams of going to culinary school one day.

Trump was singing the praises of the meatloaf served by the White House kitchen and apparently ordered it for Chris Christie at a group lunch last week, hence the meatloaf reference.

There are a lot of meatloaf opinions on this thread and I’m glad we’ve taken the time to have this discussion. I believe the next step in peer review for whether or not to put ketchup on meatloaf is a Buzzfeed quiz.

This is so stupid, and almost gives me second-hand embarrassment for this dummy.

Ugh, your post makes me long for the days when fupenguin.com was still putting up new blogposts. I take solace in your post and this tournament.

It’s like watching someone with the mental capacity of Jell-O stumbling onto the concept of Machiavellianism. “Uh, don’t do anything so people will suffer, but then give them some benefits so it’s a little better. But maybe that’s too mean, IDK?”

No ketchup on mashed potatoes, unless the ketchup has runoff onto the potatoes from neighboring meatloaf.

I don’t eat red meat, but my recollection from eating meatloaf every now and then as a kid was that it was gross and needed to be drowned in ketchup.

But does he also put ketchup on meatloaf? If so, when Trump ordered for Chris Christie (like any well-heeled gentlemen should do for his date), did he force Chris Christie to put ketchup on the meatloaf? I NEED ANSWERS.

Surprise, front row attendees! You have to dance in your confined little seating area while Justin Timberlake’s professional dancers swish around you and make you look awkward AF.
