F-ing Nazi slob. Hope he chokes on all of it.

I’m late to the party but my reaction to this was playing out a caricature:

“I’m going to the grocery store to buy all the most expensive things to grill. If that means I buy a car in the parking lot, I’m grilling a car!”

Another MAGAt pinhead. Attended -vous- his head tapers from his ears up. This is a sign of mental derpitude and moral terpitude. A being to shun, to stay well clear of.

Joy Boy was Peter Falk's character in "Pocketful of Miracles," based on a Damon Runyon story.

Joyboy the embalmer haunts me. Worse yet, he has a soundtrack.

Far cry from La Gimp to Miracles. Could be Falk’s character is named for the Joyboy in the story. Loved One was kicking around up til it got made. Terry Southern pays very particular attention to Joyboy in the script but even then, he’s never far off from Waugh’s Joyboy.

“If you worked harder maybe you’d deserve health insurance! We csint ford to give it to everyone!”

For most people it doesn't matter how hard you work because your job has set hours and a set pay. The only way to make more money is to have a second job, so you are working more than eight hours a day, more than 40 hours a week, This is sweat shop territory. And this Senator thinks it's a moral defect on your part that you can't afford steak and lobster.

Or if you were selling something? Sell more. Hustle. Sigh .”yeah i choose to only sell this much” 😡

The problem with inflation is that it's so gradual it kind of sneaks up on you. Still even our meagre incremental wage increases can barely keep up, and if there are more wages that usually means fewer hours or less overtime too so workers are not really getting ahead. And every now and then some notable product goes down in price, like eggs after the bird flue epidemic or gas after the Strait of Hormuz opened. But wages are too low to begin with, so this creeping inflation is quietly reducing the options and flexibility and forcing people to get the cheapest or else go without. And it happens a million time and hour in the US. Despite all this, I think corruption is a bigger and better issue to campaign on. The only problem with that is only the Democratic Socialists can do it, the regular Democrats would find it too threatening to their liberal but still-selfish and very rich donors.

I was dating my husband (18 years strong) when his ex decided she was ALSO taking the Sub Zero refrigerator that he'd been making payments on for 6 months. Fancy MF-er. So I got some feesh and wrapped them on a chopstick and shoved them in every orifice of that fridge. Turned it off and let the fish tampons do their job. No haters needed here. She took everything from him. And I mean everything. So I'm envisioning the same thing with ole Troy-Boy. Fish tampons in his sprinkler systems, hoses, or just lying on the yard in the 107 degree Washington heat. So sick of this.

That's kinda mean. I like the way you think!

Birb-General of the US's avatar

So that's why that free Sub-Zero I got on Craigslist way back when smelled so bad.

Lisa's avatar

I sincerely apologize! If only I'd known! Hate clouded my mind.

Birb-General of the US's avatar

I forgive you. In your situation I would have done exactly the same thing, except I would have used soy tempeh since I am vegan.

What a dick repeating tired old tropes about just working harder.

I know. He's so boring. Boring food. Boring ideas. Why is he even in the news at all?

"M"'s avatar

Because the bigotry is so blatant

And it makes shock headlines

Not only that, it looks like that dumb SOB is going to retire from Congress with full bennies and pension when he worked just enough to enable Trump to slither into the WH and fuck this country up but good. He is on camera fully supporting our destruction and his little hand in that. He will probably never be held accountable, too. Forget it Jake--it's Texas.

Texas used to be blue 💙

Confederate Republicans may fight to make Americans more stupid but no one fights to make Americans more lazy

I know for me, every time I search for Trump news on google, it is only in hopes that I finally see he’s gone, out of power, for good. Thought it happened in 2020, alas not yet, but for sure eventually. We are in season eleven of the Trump show and it is winding down, but old ailing Trump is pulling out all the stops, and doubling down before the big exit.

"I only eat EXPENSIVE food because I"M RICH - I"M SO RICH!!"

This seems so middle class - lobster tails and rib eye - please

What you want to do -

for the gals - order the puff pastry with hints of crab and ginger - don't touch it when it arrives. After a long time poke at it with a fork, taste a bit, push it away. That's it

For the fellahs - order whatever but mainly keep the Cristal flowing! That way you can get a $1000 bill easy!

I had a bf who was a waiter at a fancy french rest in Boston - he had so many stories about that place. But it was still kind of nouveau riche. Basically you have to live on a dirt road out in the 'woods' and Cook will make something nice for you each day. You dont go in to town to show off like that. Certainly not a BBQ.

Would it surprise anyone that despite Troy Nehls career in law enforcement he is pretty light-handed when it comes to stolen valor and as a National Guard officer he, along with Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth, was in civil affairs?

This asshat is unfortunately my representative, which means I have no representation at all. He may not be running, but his identical twin brother Trever is running in his place. I HATE Texas republican politicians!!!! 😡 Democrats all the way!!

Being a Republican today is all about having a license to be a dick.

CHRIST, what an asshole.

I just paid $8 for a pound of ground beef and that was the sale price.

"Asked if the 60 percent of Americans who live paycheck to paycheck can afford rib-eye steaks and lobster this weekend, Nehls was unconcerned, because that’s their problem, not his: “Maybe not,” he replied. “Maybe the 60 percent of Americans don’t work as hard as I do, neither, I mean I don’t know.”

I have a feeling the sheer number of things Troy Nehls doesn't know is VOLUMNOUS.

NewLarry's avatar

The list is long.

I guarandamntee you that I've worked harder in my life than he ever has.

Just as “other people thinking” makes everything hard for them. More please.

Remember the good old days when a comment like this usually meant a swift political death?

Lisa's avatar

I remember when Ross Perot had big ears and liked peanuts, or was that Carter. In any way, my parents voted accordingly. That's where I learned about politics. I hope I've redeemed myself by now.
