Penzey's is the poo poo and I am lucky to live within walking distance of one both where I live now and where I moved from. They always give you free stuff too. It's worth the trip and way better quality than grocery store spices for similar cost.

Didn’t Sliders do that, but you were eventually killed if you won the lottery?

TV's will be running FOX news on the walls and books by Hannity and O'Reilly will be for sale in an adjacent gift shop along with MAGA hats, mugs and some of those weird presidential coins. It'll basically look like a Florida reptile farm only with fewer books.

Yeah, this.

The original function of the police was threefold: To protect the wealthy, to protect capital and to keep their boot heel on the poor who would threaten the wealthy and their capital.

The police have taken on other roles since then, but this is still their primary function and all other secondary functions are subordinated to these three primary functions.

The building inspector who approved this was placed under FBI investigation last month for taking bribes for building permits.

The son of this building's developer spent years in prison for embezzling money from Hurricane Katrina rebuilding funds.

A construction union was protesting outside the building last month, saying that some of the contractors were not licensed.

I hope the people responsible face justice, because this tragedy has corruption written all over it.

In a previous life I was a chef.

Penzeys cajun spice on a thin slice of chicken that is pan seared with bacon and swiss on a flatbread with tomato lettuce and mayo. Its a great sandwich.

I still can't believe that Trump throws a grenade into the middle east and then goes golfing. The worse part is he thinks he has made the right choice. At what point do Trump supporters that are in, or have been in, the military realize that this guy does not know what he is doing? I'm really worried that we have normalized this behavior and trump supporters are more than willing to vote for the next charlatan that comes along that strokes their bigotry. I don't think the centrist Democrats are strong enough to stand up to this kind of malfeasance or even that they want to because some of their wrong doing might come out.

We need to look for fighters again that will stand up for us.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that part, they always include full size free samples with online orders! And they almost always have a coupon code for free spices too.

We used to have one in downtown ish Seattle but their rent was going to be raised 3x so they moved an hour drive away, so I'm back to ordering online.

In short, support an anti-bigotry company that also has great quality products.

She also says that "Foxpoint is the best seasoning ever".

Trumps base will not back down from supporting him unless something directly affects them, and that’s probably only if he directly says he did it. The Kurd thing is in another part of the world, they won’t feel it. Making shady deals with world leaders? No affecting them at all.

Trump would have to go on TV and say “I am raising taxes on everyone to 80%” before his supporters would be concerned.

This reminds me of how former IL governor George Ryan got taken down by the feds. Six children died in a fiery car crash when their van was struck by a truck. Turned out the truck driver wasn't actually qualified, and Ryan was handing out contracts and licenses all over the place in exchange for bribes.

I'm fortunate I'm a teetotaler and weed is legal in my state, because honestly if I couldn't smoke on the reg I would have probably gotten piss drunk for the first time in my life months ago.

This is hell, and the only thing I can keep doing is fighting for what's right and keeping that anger focused on productive things, else I fall into a black rage. Been mad all week, and smoked a gram Tuesday evening knowing what was coming.

I can't watch these Trump rally clips for longer than 5 seconds. It's like the AUG thread when someone posts a nerdlinger youtube clip or something. I can't stand to listen to or look at Trump at all.

He's in that realm of "people I can't stand to even hear speak" that's occupied by people like Sean Hannity, Nancy Grace, Ben Shapiro and Pat Robertson. Even reading transcripts from Trump rallies hurts my brain and lately I've just been scrolling his twitter posts in this thread.

I've been teetering on the edge of this for a good while but "my unmatched wisdom" was the tipping point. And to think, the State of the Union speech is approaching. My god.
Transcripts and reports of the appalling poo poo he says are bad enough, but for me (a non-American who doesn't own a TV, so thankfully it's not being shoved at me 24/7) it's his loving voice. How anyone could listen to this whiny, nasal, arrogant prick and think "hmm, yes, this is the voice of a strong leader!" is beyond me. If he's not mocking someone, he's whingeing about how terribly he's treated as the most powerful man in the world and why don't all those bastards bow down and recognise his greatness?

I genuinely can't wait to see his library

I imagine after he refuses to leave the white house January 2021, he'll be moved to his presidential library in his sleep. It will consist of a three rooms guests can observe and interact with; a complete reconstruction of the oval office, a replica of a sports stadium, and a golf course. He'll have a pretty packed schedule; signing blank papers with faux letterhead in the morning (available in the gift shop), holding rallies in the afternoon before a simulated audience, and playing golf in the evening.

Volunteers play the roles of Ivanka, Eric, and Don Jr. during feeding times. There's an interactive game, kind of like the Reagan presidential library's Grenada event simulator; guests score points by choosing the dumbest option possible. Press the red button to send Donald a coke, he likes that.
