Alter Ego posted:If he was going to fire Rosenstein (and by extension fire Mueller) he would have done so by now. Unless he's bought Ty Cobb's ludicrous poo poo. Which the access reporting continues to take as a strong possibility. This also discounts the idea that Trump genuinely believes he is safe, but is coming to the conclusion that the investigation will find things on Jared, Ivanka, his sons, etc. https://twitter.com/KumaBearzo/status/975201560165789697

Vladimir Putin posted:Yes all true. Which is why I’m not saying it’s bad. I’m saying it’s different. Like, "did you know fortune cookies aren't chinese at all and the fortune part comes from a Japanese holiday tradition and the food part is just american crackers with sugar" is kinda good trivia, but any time anyone turns it into 'and that is why I don't eat there and only eat in 'authentic' restaurants' is dumb, the whole is big now, everyone eats weird mixes of their culture's traditions and bunches of borrowed alterations. Like it's not like food stopped evolving in the year 1300 and everyone eats only traditional stuff. Everyone in egypt eats pasta all the time even though that is from italy. And there are a bunch of uniquely Egyptian Italian dishes. Italian food marked by eating tomatoes from peru that only got there late. is Mumbai india has a whole thing about being in love with western style bread but has been eating it that way since they were a trading partner of the portuguese hundreds of years ago. Everyone in Japan eats indian curry nonstop and curry is England's favorite thing, and both are totally different foods from each other and from curry in india. Japan also eats american hotdogs but adds seaweed to the mix and american hotdogs are really german sausages but are called wieners because they are made in germany's idea of what vienna eats. No food is authentic and you shouldn't ever worry about it beyond it being a neat thing to know.

Asema posted:Somebody run down what happens once he fires Mueller for me because I can't put an ounce of faith into the spineless cowards in congress. Well, the first thing is everyone freaks out. The investigation doesn't stop. The DoJ has a procedure for ongoing investigations and he can't stop the investigation just by firing Mueller. Mueller also wouldn't be dead, and could respond, it's unclear if he would or what or how. The expectation is that the NY AG is working with Mueller and would then file state level charges that Trump could not block or pardon, but it's unclear how that would play out. basically the results are not predictable.

I disagree. American Chinese-style food evolved on its own and is its own special genre of food that evolved uniquely. Another genre of food is actually cuisine that is more close to what Chinese people would have eaten in their home countries. The two cuisines are totally different in ingredients, flavors, etc... So to know that there is a difference has functional outcomes because you can then understand that there’s another genre you can try and not be limited to one or the other.

Also, Trump doesn’t fire people. He makes it clear he hates them, but he’s too much of a coward to actually confront them or demand a resignation. Hell, Sessions offered his resignation once, and Trump backed down. None of this bullshit that Trump is pulling is leading up to firing Sessions to fire Mueller. It’s to make it clear to Sessions and Rosenstein that he’s very very very angry in the hopes that Sessions or Rosenstein this time will throw themselves into their swords and fire Mueller for him.

We have heard that for months. First it was going to be done by Thanksgiving, then it was going to be done by the new year. Ty Cobb is a moron and a hack, but Trump has been listening to him for months and has still done nothing every time another deadline has passed. Someone he listens to is telling him not to fire Mueller. I don't know who; I mean, we know that Senate Republicans threatened him with mutiny if he fired John Kelly, but I do wonder who is ensuring Mueller and Rosenstein's job security.

People in this thread: "You are so wrong in saying that most Chinese Restaurants serve the same stuff how dare you!" Other people in this thread: "Ok, so Baltimore, Maryland doesn't have any good Chinese restaurants, you ok with driving an hour or so?" Look, if you've got to "find" a place that serves different food, you're proving my point. I'm sorry I used the word all when it would have been more accurate to say 99 out of 100 or whatever.

Or a bit of both.

Dietrich posted:People in this thread: "You are so wrong in saying that most Chinese Restaurants serve the same stuff how dare you!" Ok sorry I might have been mean. But you have to know that the genre you’re taking about isn’t the only genre of Chinese food in America. That’s all I’m saying. My assumption (and I admit I was assuming) was that if you understood that fact you wouldn’t have made that kind of blanket statement.
