Panda Express? Panda Express??? God, they are plebian in Salt Lake City! No Vietnamese or Thai or Korean or Taiwanese or Okinawan immigrants? Uncle! Why not just open some cans of La Choy and have done with it? Every oriental place does take out!
Fine Mormon cuisine. Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donnie, Marie, and Jimmy say it is their favorite place to dine out at. (I gotta ask: does Salt Lake City have even one Waffle House?)
I'm not exactly a fan of God-Emperor Xi, but his perpetual put-upon (-_-) face makes for some pretty funny juxtapositions. (And I have to approve of his way of subtly throwing shade with references he knows the other guy is too knavish by half to clue in on.)
Particularly next to a blundering clown like Trump.
I actually think he does know, on some instinctual animal level, that he’s humiliating all of us. He is getting revenge on all of us for his failed insurrection. He’s not just destroying the things liberals love, like the Kennedy center and the Smithsonian. He’s fucking up national security, raising prices for everyone, etc. MAGA is so confused, but I think he hates them most of all now, because they failed him when he wanted them to start a civil war with him in charge of the union.
I think we need to reset a bit. Trump is, yes, too stupid to understand ANY nuance or referent, but the people running him are not. They care about global flows of money and power, not which nations gain or lose. Trump will fanboy anybody, if there’s money in it. It’s the one thing that means more than venality and power to him.
Christ on a cracker. Could you even imagine Xi’s horror at a Panda Express? Shit even I, lily white American that I am won’t eat there. (But then I don’t eat fast food anyway.)
I am a lily white woman too, but my mother learned her basic kitchen skills from what they called "their Negro cook" back then, and she could do a lot of the Southern Black favorites up right, without any measuring. Because Bessie was a great cook.
Her family, unlike most at the time, did NOT use the hard N word, because it was a slur and low-class. When I got a Black principal in school, the other PTA ladies were all a-flutter about what term to use for his ethnicity. Mom suggested they ask him and they twittered away in fear. So she asked him directly and he told her. And his mother had also been a cook to a well-off White family, so they had a nice chat about that and a good laugh about the other women. I remember her rolling her eyes as she told me.
Speaking of the Panda Express, it was pointed out at the time that the catering truck that surreptitiously whisked Trump away from the Qatar trojan horse jet on his middle east trip must have come from Panda Express, because they served Orange Chicken.
I don't know how you say "fucking senile moron" in Mandarin, but you know Xi was thinking it at that point.

Ms. O and I stopped overnight in Salt Lake City once. Where did we eat dinner?
Oh yeah. The Applebees across the street from the hotel.

So after all the posturing and tough talk about CHIIIY-NUH, and how they better not come here, or else we'll kick their butts...
Dear Leader rolled over and groveled like he always does with dictators?
Thank God I was sitting down for THAT shocker.
These are the same people who are currently having a shit hemorrhage over Democrats being "communists", right?

America made him take No for an answer in 2020, and must be punished for that. He will never stop until [redacted].
I am sure, what most impressed Xi the most was the portrait of Biden's auto-pen, fucking stellar!
I cringe with embarrassment at what I imagine other world leaders say to each other and to their staffs behind closed doors about him.

How is Xi? Was the chocolate cake beautiful? I hope he doesn't have an aversion to gilt filigree.

Somebody on social media shared their recipe for collard greens...
with MAYONNAISE.
NO!!! Just no.
That's a paddlin'.

I think Mike Lee was thinking of the Pander Express, which is serving a two-for-one special straight from Mike Lee's mouth into Trump's earholes.
Mike's nowhere near Trump's earholes.
Why shouldn’t he take Xi to Panda Express? I heard Giorgia Meloni LOVED the Olive Garden! All those breadsticks!
Why is tRump wearing gloves? It's still freakin' (almost) summer. Are the gloves to hide the wretched state of tRump's hands?
The gloves are to hide his rotting hands. I'm not sure what the overcoat is for.
The elderly chill easily.
Hi Mike lee, where'd your hair go?
Speaking of the Panda Express, it was pointed out at the time that the catering truck that surreptitiously whisked Trump away from the Qatar trojan horse jet on his middle east trip must have come from Panda Express, because they served Orange Chicken.
We should never forget that Mike Lee was also one of the first Republican Senators to openly Tweet in 2020 that he didn't "believe in" democracy
