I wish some democratic operative would use the "$1300 might pay for a trip to Costco in Washington" in a campaign commercial to show how out of touch he and most of the repubs are. I'm a small business owner who lives in the Washington area and could not afford a trip like that to Costco, especially with this sequestration bullshit which forces cuts to medicare reimbursement.
I agree - but your 'average' income must be a lot higher than mine. According to that calculator, I seem to be looking at an extra $20-$40, not $150.
Also in my food pantry experience, items past their use-by date might get put out on a 'take your chances' table; I don't believe I've gotten them distributed to me. And dirty rice mix would still be good for a long while, if the seasoning package might get a little chunky. But that pound of gross ground pork that my quasi-vegetarian self was never ever gonna use, that was an issue.
YES. Especially if he does go to the Big House, or whatever the equivalent is for him (a suburban condo with plain old porcelain toilets?), that should also invalidate every bullsh*t appointment and decision he's made, to my mind.
As the closest thing to a RWNJ in my family, the only arguments I'm going to have will revolve around me criticizing my brother's skating pond for not being smooth enough and his Fox Sports level hot-takes on baseball. (He posted on Facebook 2 weeks ago that the Giancarlo Stanton trade was the only really good thing he ever did for the Yankees. I've taken to calling him Skip Bayless and Jayson Whitlock after that shit.)
dammit! I looked up Fakakta on the googlies and thought that maybe it was safe to look up bukaka (thinking it also sounded Yiddish) but I was WRONG!
[try NOT to imagine him with sex face]
Happy Festivus evrybody!

Not holding my breath, however.
Lately, it depends on the time of day for me. At the moment, I'd smile and offer him thoughts and prayers.
What part of thoughts and prayers do you not understand?
No.

I like mine with just a smidge of xanax.
My doctor prescribed it for road trips when my crazy husband drives and family gatherings with Republicans.
Next year....after November...

So, you've pre-culled your relative list?...
Just a turtleneck...
