The Left Had A Rough July 4th

[Chomsky]

Nah. I was gone from Tuesday to Saturday up at about 8000 ft in the Sierras. Not a TV or radio or cell signal or nutjob leftist for miles. Had a ball.

Actually, a get-away-from-it weekend in the mountains sounds pretty damn good. I love breathing the drier, thinner, cleaner mountain air infused with the scent of conifers. Then we I go back down to the flatlands, it's actually a bit depressing for a day or two! Heavy, damp, muggy.

It seemed the hate America leftists had a pretty bad July 4th this year. "Orange Man Bad" was running rampant as the loons melted down over DJT's desire to show tanks in the parade in DC. But there was more, see the link.

Some miserable leftist was triggered by some cops in Tempe having a cup of coffee in a Starbucks. They were asked to leave. Starbucks is one of those big businesses leftist hang out at but whine about all the time. Weird.

How was your 4th?

tive Worst Independence Day Villains in America

I had a great 4th of July at The Lake in WA. Spent a few days with good friends, swimming, BBQing, bull****ting, and generally relaxing. There were lots of other liberals and conservatives there too, we all enjoyed ourselves.


Do you mind me asking how you jibe your obvious hatred for so much of a country with your claims to love that country? It really doesn't make any sense.

I grew up on the Wet coast. If it's not pissing out, it's great weather.

The best food often is. The only cuisine I'm aware of that gets away with not being labor intensive is Italian (unless you're one of those super old-school Italian chefs who insists on cooking the bejeezus out of your tomato sauce for a thousand hours).

It takes all day to make good sauce/Sunday gravy. It needs to be slow cooked to take out the bitterness. Otherwise you have to add sugar; infamnia!

Anyway that's why good sauce/gravy takes all day. Good meatballs, good sausage, good manicotti, good lasagna, good eggplant parmesan, good braciola are all labor/love intensive. Making good Italian food takes a lot of time and love. Well Olia oi, peas, pasta and olive oil with garlic, that's easy; it's what you get when you've ****ed up and are in the **** house with your wife; done right it's still pretty good.

You and I almost always agree but on this:

"kidl you may be gooda look'n but you don't know what's a cook'n."

A good meat sauce does need to combine & simmer for a solid 4 hours or so, IMO. That's to say nothing of all the time spent making & browning the meat-balls, and browning the other meats, sausages, and neck bone. My mom would start the sauce the night before, doing all the browning, making the meatballs (& browning them), etc. Then the sauce making itself would start the next morning. All-in-all it was a minimum of a solid 8 hour process. Minimum!

And let's not forget how time consuming making fresh pasta is. It's something we got away from as we thankfully had sources of daily fresh pasta in the old neighborhood, as I currently also have now nearby. There's nothing like the taste & texture of fresh pasta.

Then there's things like Braciole, which is another all day activity, to say nothing of making Ravioli or many other dishes.

Come-on man, look at this Braciole! Yeah - it takes all day, but my God it IS the food of the Gods!

I can't argue with this.

Nah we were laughing at Trump the whole time, his pitiful parade got rained out and no one showed up to his white power army's rally, and poor melanie. She looked sooo miserable.

Kinda shoots that whole (Laughing at Trump because No one showed up to his white power rally) right in the ass,
Now doesn't it.

(Hint) Maybe you should have actually checked to see if there were any pictures of the event before getting caught lying (Again) about your delusions of Trump. This is why no one believes a Liberal anymore. Thanks for safeguarding that reputation.

By the way, Who the f**k is Melanie?

 

[bullseyelqcs]

Well I guess this picture proves your just lying. (Again) Kinda shoots that whole (Laughing at Trump because No one showed up) right in the ass, doesn't it.

Doesn't matter......Kim is still laughing his ass of at him. Unless you have troops goose stepping for your approval, it ain't a proper military parade.

Same here. I had no real animus toward him previous to him attaining office. He was just another hyperbolic huckster, that had no effect on my life save for entertainment. But now that he's been elevated to the most powerful man in the world, I'm stuck with his influence.

The good news is that despite the damage he's inflicting to the country I love, besides the judges & Justices he's installing he's relatively ineffectual - once you ignore the hyped-up hyperbole & nonsense that never amounts to anything.

The damage to environmental regulations will take years to fix...

I had a fine July 4th, my hateful friend. I actually started a thread commenting that trump didn't totally **** the bed on his speech.

Side note: Isn't it interesting that there were airplanes during the Revolutionary War and that there flying over the ramming of ramparts. Your childish compulsion to defend the orange menace as if he was your mommy is adorable

 

[lurchadams]

Mine is going fine, and I'm it mellow & nicely restful. Sounds like yours is pretty anger-filled though, eh?

One thing twump has given them is reinforcement of hatred of all their political enemies. What a pathetic existence!

 

[lurchadams]

Leftists hate America. It's that simple. To them, nothing is good about America. Nothing. I often wonder why they are even here. Move if you don't like the place. There are plenty of decent normal people from all over that would that move here in a heart beat and be better Americans than those poor miserable slobs.

No, unlike trump, the childish, cowardly bully you worship, we're not claiming we have bone spurs and running away. We're going to stay and fight for the country we love.

It was close, and America was struggling until the penalty goal. But congratulations, they did well.

When they are caught? They write something, or say something, and it qualifies out of the gate.

As you have been pointing out, the insanity their propaganda ministries attempted leading up to the celebration of the country on the Mall in D.C., is a perfect example.

Their exploding heads and lies juxtaposed against the reality of what took place should be a constant theme leading up to November 2020.

In watching the Trump Show, I wondered how much all this unnecessary and wasteful expense was supposed to accomplish.

Trump seems to be on an unlimited expense account that we are funding ourselves. Isn't he supposed to be cutting funds for Medicare and Medicaid because we are over spending?

As well as indulging his narcissism, the July Fourth event is highlighting his typical profligacy with public money, questionable ethics, a lack of transparency and a measure of chaos in the last minute organization.
The actual cost of all the extra security -- a flight time for the aircraft used as Air Force One that is expected to buzz the crowd -- has not yet been released by the White House.

Government money for Trump Properties?

We’ve Found $16.1 in Political and Taxpayer Spending at Trump Properties

and..........

Economists rip Trump’s spending spree as ‘foolhardy,’ ‘ludicrous,’ and ‘the dumbest’

Illegal spending as well? Something few know and much less talked about but eye-opening to say the least!

Trump’s Secret Service Spending Spree Might Be Illegal

The Secret Service is almost broke. Come the end of September, it will be out of money. Will Congress legislate to the rescue? It’s unclear, given the incredibly divisive relationship between the two ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Presidents, their families, and their staffs indeed do need protection. But President Donald Trump has stretched the limit of propriety when it comes to security spending, as he’s stretched so many other limits.

His administration has ordered the Secret Service to protect 35% more people than his predecessor’s did. This includes overseeing the security of his sons as they make business trips all over the globe to improve the Trump family’s bottom line. One example is Eric Trump’s trip in January to Uruguay to promote the Punta del Esta Trump property. The taxpayer’s tab was over $100,000. Another example is Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s recent skiing trip.

As for the president himself, he spent over $20 million of our money on his trips to Mar-a-Lago between January and April alone. Former President Barack Obama’s security costs over eight years totaled less than $100 million. Why not go to Camp David, the presidential retreat, which is far less expensive? It is, apparently, not good enough for this president. Here are his words on the subject: “Yea, Camp David is very rustic, it’s nice, you’d like it. You know how long you’d like it? For about 30 minutes.”

Usually presidents reside at the White House and recreate primarily at Camp David, which limits the number of locations the Secret Service has to watch and protect. Trump, in contrast, flips between two Trump resorts, the White House, and Trump Tower in New York. The daily security costs for Trump Tower alone are estimated to be between $127,000 and $146,000, or roughly $50 million per year.


No one, to my knowledge, has put together a formal estimate of the extra federal, state, and local security costs of this president. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it totaled a quarter billion dollars per year. That’s enough money to properly feed our 13 million children who are living in hunger every day.

Is this one more sign of Hypocrisy in Trump?

And yet I ignore? Is that the new standard when you get caught lying. Its ok for you to make any claim you want because Trump is bad?

Wow, Trump lies just about every single day? Since you are so in tune to Trump, you should have a list from the last 7 days, right? So what lie has he told in the last 7 days? 14 days, 30 days? I hear this BS EVERYDAY but it becomes more BS from the left. Don't you guys ever get tired of making false claims and being called out.

But of course you won't have an answer to my question and you will try and deflect to some other lie you are propagating.

So what list of lies do you have for us or is this just more Liberal exaggerations and BS?

Do tell. The way I heard it is that the EPA is spending a lot more time on clean air, water and soil because they are spending less time on greenhouse gasses and trying to kill coal. Response rate on rulings has come down by weeks if not months.

It is debatable if Trump is caught lying. Certainly there are daily claims he is lying and sycophantic "fact" checkers to verify it. And, admittedly, Trump constantly exaggerates. However, that is not exactly the same thing. Some of the biggest lies turned out to be true. It's like claiming the witches lied when they said, "Birnam Wood shall come to Dunsinane".
