You can just cook your own pork chop and put it on a stick. Iowa is a garbage state and should not be celebrated for anything.

Last year I had to snap at Michael Bennet for blocking access to the butter cow to do some tv interview. I think he was trying to get butter Big Bird in the background of the shot but people politely wait in line to view that cow and he just stands in front of the line like he owned the Agriculture Building. He would have been a terrible president and I’m glad he failed. He only shifted like half a foot and didn’t apologize. He didn’t even eat an egg before he left, the gently caress.

Why do politicians, lawyers, and businessmen all wear suits? Because it’s the uniform of deception- it’s designed to lend legitimacy to what would otherwise be an abhorrent person.

Gotta love the fuckin bullshit of “oh, you want to be president of a diverse country? let’s see what IOWA has to say about it before we even ask the diverse part of the country, gently caress you”

What’s to stop California and NY from just saying gently caress it, were going first

It's good IMHO that Iowa goes first because they're openly cruel to the lanyards.

There's also an incredibly tedious level of coordination between like 18 types of government since the primary's schedule is at least as much an artifact of local elections as anything else; you can't just get the DNC on board, you need to also get your city, county, and state of both parties on board. And of course Americans are allergic to changing things.

Hobby Lobby purchasing millions of dollars of obviously-looted ancient Iraqi artifacts from smugglers on behalf of an evangelical bible museum

In purchasing the antiquities, Hobby Lobby directly funded ISIS

They paid a few $million in fines and returned thousands of artifacts but apparently underreported the size of their collection and iirc thousands more pieces are "missing"

I was previously unaware of the massive size of the collection.

quote:

Steve Green, the museum's board chairman and the president of Hobby Lobby, announced the museum will be returning 11,500 artifacts to Egypt and Iraq, including thousands of papyrus scraps and ancient clay pieces.

The museum was a pet project of Hobby Lobby executives, not an independent and reputable institution.

It’s more like the Creation Museum than the Penn Museum.
