Memories of Christmas dinner when I was a kid and Dad was receiving Social Security disability checks...times were tight...Mom also worked as a bookkeeper at Murphy's 5 & 10 and together her pay and Dad's checks barely kept us afloat...Christmas dinner was 2 cans of Chun King or La Choy Chow Mein and 2 cans of crispy Chun King or La Choy fried noodles. That was enough to feed a family of 7. To me it was a feast...
OT: Mrs. Callis and I are enjoying our Solstice Bells -- a simple cocktail of fine brandy, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and filtered hot water. Molotov, me hearties!
Tulsi Gabbard says the EU and NATO are trying to drag the US into a war with Russia: "They undermine President Trump's efforts towards peace and do so specifically in order to pull the US military into a direct conflict with Russia."
Crying little shit Todd Blanche says they removed the photo with Trump in it because of "concerns raised by victims."
“You’re talking about a million or so pages of documents — virtually all of them contain victim information,” Mr. Blanche said.
He acknowledged that a small number of documents — photographs inside Mr. Epstein’s home — had been removed from the online collection.
One of the removed photos showed a credenza with a number of photographs, including at least one of Mr. Trump.
Mr. Blanche said that photo of the credenza and others had been removed because of concerns raised by victims.
“It has nothing to do with President Trump,” Mr. Blanche said. “The absurdity of pulling down a single photo because of President Trump is laughable.”
After that photo was released, he said, concerns were raised about some of the women depicted in other photos shown on the credenza. “So we pulled that photo down,” Mr. Blanche said.
"The absurdity of pulling down a single photo because of President Trump is laughable... I mean, fucrissake, look at all the rest of those indictible photos! Any one of them should be enough to do it! Do I have to draw an arrow?..."
There is a LOT of stuff about her and her lifestyle. How much we read is true, I don't know, but it certainly was interesting, colorful, and somewhat scary.
Newport's history goes back literally centuries before those goons showed up, and we still have the largest collection of colonial-era homes in North America, amongst other such impressive things and facts and such
in reality, it was the "old stone mill' mentioned in [a different, but related] Benedict Arnold's will in the late 17th century, even gives "Mill Street" its name, is about 2-3 blocks from me
Not even going to try to make multiple meals for Christmas this year to accommodate the vegetarian and the bloats up and gets the runs and stomach issues if she eats beef, dairy, or wheat. Nope, skipping the meal completely this year. And for Boxing Daydinner, will make Fish en Papillote and gamberi alla busara.And don’t @ me about mixing my ethnics!!!
“You could maybe justify giving someone the [Montreal Cognitive Assessment] once, just on their age, just as part of a physical. If you’re giving it to him three times, that means you’re not assessing dementia. That means you’re monitoring dementia,”
MP Holman from London-Fanshawe is known for being cut of the same cloth as PP, so he fits right in at the assole party

When’s the last time we got a really good instant Christmas movie classic? A must watch every year. 20 years ago?
1601. The director was Mark Twain.
'these animals trying to attack me at Mar-a-Lago," he said. "They went into my wife's closet... it sounds strange, but they looked at her drawers."'
I would too, I'm curious, low rise briefs or lacy thongs?
Spanx
Let’s see, FBI agents have probably seen many things in their careers; Melania’s panties are likely among the tamest things they’ve seen.
"granny pants"
Or,they suspected he just lined the drawers with files. Why would they think that?...
Right, like that shelf lining paper people used to put in their kitchen cabinets.
Because you were a criminal, Donnie.
Briefs. You think she *wants* to get Donnie's attention?
Full on Bridget Jones granny panties.
Big old granny bloomers?!
But what of her secret service detail?
Oh, that's what she keeps in her NYC apartment.
she goes commando for them
May Gawd have mercy on their souls
Ees Snu Snu tiemz!

In Moscow, they call her “our girl Tulsi” for a reason.

Tulsi Gabbard says the EU and NATO are trying to drag the US into a war with Russia: "They undermine President Trump's efforts towards peace and do so specifically in order to pull the US military into a direct conflict with Russia."
We're already at war with Russia and have been for a while.
The people who are dragging EU/NATO into a conflict with Russia are Trump and his merry band of rich, corrupt idjits. Eat the rich.
Oh, Tulsi. Like Donny would go to war with Vlad.
I hear she’s being awarded the Hero of the Russian Federation this year.
It comes with an almost depleted potash mine.
Bashir was just misunderstood, guys.

If only there were some way to create a black bar on an image, or to blur parts of images.
laughable like an abscessed molar
Laughable Like an Abscessed Molar is probably my favorite album by The Smiths.
It's late-stage Morrisey solo work, actually.

The snowman hanging out with the elephant looks like he's been through some shit.
“I’ve seen things, man. Things you can’t imagine.”
When the oligarchs at least had good taste.
it was a competition. Money and Class...
I’ve never visited but now I want to go to there!
What’s up with the camels?
not really sure, but they seem to hang out at Doris Duke's old place, called Rough Point - maybe a magi thing?
Duke has actual pet camels at Rough Point back in the day. (we visited the mansion when we were there in October)

Doris Duke killed a man
it's very true
There is a LOT of stuff about her and her lifestyle. How much we read is true, I don't know, but it certainly was interesting, colorful, and somewhat scary.

From mansions built back in the day when the douchebros were oil-bros or train-bros.

And that weird stone tower that people keep saying is Viking-made.

other idiots say it was the Chinese, or aliens

This is America. We are multi-ethnic and multi-racial. So mix it up all you want because it all sounds yummo.
Is his brain completely fried now?
“He is sundowning hard” Observers panic about 'incoherent' Trump's 'slurring' new speech”

Panic, who? Rejoice, it’s a Xmas miracle
Three more years….three more years…
But he keeps calling OHJB "sleepy" and "senile". He is such an asshat.

All I want for Christmas is for Jerry Jones to be miserable.
The Chargers grant your wish. They beat the North Texas Cattle Molesters.
All I want for Christmas is Donald Trump’s widow to smile.
