Is this what we are going with now? I wondered. It is better than Latinx, which for about five minutes when it started I thought was “La tinks,” perhaps some kind of fancy LGBTQ designation.  Just trying to keep up.

The reason this is a dick move is that it can cause a server to get double or even triple sat within a minute, which can be overwhelming, and gives the guest a worse experience.

Same. I was once like that because I didn't know better. But when I started hanging out with people who weren't terrified by meat that in the wrong light had a hint of pink to it, it's like night and day. It's why they need ketchup and steak sauce and salt because they cook all the flavor out

People say he’s a germaphobe but I doubt it. I think he just doesn’t like poor people or anyone he sees as beneath him. Is anyone here really going to argue he’s a fastidious hand washer?

None of the steps were “add poison” so this was a waste of time for all involved.

Jesus this sounds made up but you just know it’s not.

Ask the guys down at BJ’s Restaurants.

Trump is a paradox. On paper he is the epitome of a coastal elite - born into fabulous wealth, native of New York City, went to an Ivy League school.

Republican voters time and again show that political instincts and optics mean jack and shit to them. As long as you are able to weasel your way into the position R voters will vote for you no matter how bad you fuck up or how little you do for your constituents.

Anyone traveling internationally during a pandemic has questionable decision-making skills, not to mention morals. A politician who does so is a fool, hence why politicians around the world have been punished for it in the last year.

I dunno, AOC organized relief from New Yorkers for a couple million sent to Texas in the span of a few hours and its not her district or state.

Cruz is trash and an opportunist. Even if Texas wants to vote for Republicans there are better options.

The fact that his advice to the state was to hunker stay at home while he did the opposite doesn’t matter to you? Why not celebrate hypocrisy!

If Heidi had gone down to Cancun with the girls to escape the power outages, I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. Less than perfect optics for Ted, but they have the means to get the hell out of there, and very few people would blame them. Ted, tho? HARD NO.

Ted should have let his family go away and stayed in…

Seriously? Contrast Cruz’s reaction to Beto’s (y’all voted in the wrong guy, but it was close).  Sadly, too many people in Texas see a (D) at the end of a name at the voting booth, and get visions of a Nazi-Commie who will take away their guns and force them to have abortions. That’s why you get people like Cruz,…

This is probably why Lindsey Graham is so determinedly single. Unless there’s another reason.

Assuming you as a family feel any shame whatsoever, or care if your spouse keeps his job. She’s a partner at Goldman. He’s highly employable, probably even after this. There are no consequences for them because they just don’t care what people think. 

Both of them seem to be skating on “well, they’ll vote for us anyway” sheer brass balls.

Her naïveté and bad judgment through all this is striking. A political spouse of 10+ years really ought to know better than to participate in bad optics. Even if he had suggested it, the job of political families is to try to minimize and anticipate any embarrassing exposures for their political family member.

You know, I spent that whole Gorilla Glue nightmare just waiting for the stories to end. This story is the opposite of that. Please keep writing about the shitty lives and choices of Ted and Heidi forever.
