Nazis on Grindr? You must be kidding. No self respecting nazi would ever choose to be gay…

/s just in case that needed to be stated…

Na… due process is important.

Completely agree. Was just trying to be funny. Habeas corpus is a cornerstone of our civilization.

Yup… no loyalty.

Name in Epstein Files? Straight to jail.

I meant the ostracism or violence part. It was meant to be tongue in cheek…

¿Por que no los dos?

If purchasing isn’t owning, piracy isn’t theft.

The prosecution and defense have to agree on the jury makeup if I understand the process correctly…

Well… playing devil’s advocate here… I’d argue that DeSantis is markedly more qualified than Hegseth. DeSantis has at least performed the duties of an administrator and has an understanding of how to operate a bureaucracy.

How well he’s been able to do these things is completely up to debate. But when comparing the two to each other, DeSantis is the no brainer pick.

AND once Ronnie falls out of Donny’s good graces, he’ll be out of a job, and out of Tallahassee…

Quest. Monty Python and Quest for the Holy Grail.

The key comment is his last sentence.

Na… that’s a convenient coincidence. Funding an effective FEMA would make the Biden administration look good. This is the same bullshit that they pulled when they killed the border deal.

How do you say she’s in track to lose. All the data I’ve seen makes me optimistic.

Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

They have…. That’s why there is a usual trend of bolder actions taken by second term presidents because they’re no longer eligible for candidacy for President.

That’s also why we can’t fuck about with a second Trump term.

Belgian beers in general can be so lovely. Of the three big brewing traditions, the Belgians seem to have the most variations. The Germans with their lagers and hefes, and the Brits with their various ales are both very strict with regard to rules for ingredients and methods. The Belgians, however, went crazy with their ingredients and adjuncts and methods. They are also the culture whose monasteries make some of the best beers in the world, the Trappist ales. Those are pretty tightly regulated, but so are any other culturally significant historical products like Parmigano Reggiano…

One of the best beers I’ve ever had, bar none, was a saison I brewed myself from an extract kit I got from Northern Brewer. It was amazing. It was unlike any beer I’d ever had before. It was malty, slightly hoppy, and I used some coriander seed during the boil. Absolutely lovely.

Try a Lambic.

There’s a reason they sell it, dude. The fact that a brewery sells rum and soda is because they realize if you don’t like beer, but your friends do, you might not tag along, and they wouldn’t get an opportunity to sell you anything!

Different people have different tastes, and some folks are just not going to like certain flavor profiles.

Within beer though, there is so much variety, I’d be shocked if there wasn’t at least one beer out there that you’d thoroughly enjoy. It’s just not likely worth the effort of finding that one.
