  • I was just reading how many of those who have been fired, are forming boutique law firms, each with a different mission to resist the administration. One is handling immigration issues, one is handling fired federal workers, etc. These are lawyers who used to work for the DoJ, now suing the DoJ, so they know how to most effectively craft their attack. Let’s face it, people like Bondi and Patel, have no idea what they are doing. They should be easy to beat by experienced people, who know those jobs far better.

    From the beginning of this administration, as they were firing all these lawyers and Generals, I was saying that it was incredibly stupid. All they are doing is firing their most experienced and knowledgeable employees, and replacing them with MAGA loyalists, which automatically makes them Stupid.

    So they have built their own powerful resistance force, who knows the territory, and will to counter it with new, inexperienced, replacements, who are and embarrassingly ignorant of the law in general.

    It will be like a Battle Royale between Navy Seals and a Girl Scout patrol.



  • All rotisserie chickens have a Sell By TIME, and I understand that those that have expired and not sold do get used in other dishes. Lately they even had rotisserie chicken meat for sale, so you don’t have to clean the bones yourself.

    They sell pretty quickly in my local Publix, I don’t think they have much to recycle.

    But the idea that they take the chickens that are at their expiration date, and cook them and sell them, is silly.


  • THIS, this right here is your answer. Old chickens, small chickens, that’s all dumb. It’s simply a loss leader to get you into the store.

    Ever see the crowd waiting for the chickens to come out of the ovens? They know how popular these things are. They could easily set it up near the entrance, but they don’t. They make you walk all the way to the back of the store to get it, and dare you not to buy something else along the way.

    It’s as simple as that.



  • Stores treat rotisserie chickens as a loss leader to get you into the store. Once you select the chicken, you’ll probably buy side dishes, dessert, and beverages, and pick up whatever else you need.

    Costco/ Sam’s/ BJs, keep them in the back of the store, just to make you walk through the entire store to pick it up. They dare you not to buy something else.




  • I can think of at least 5 road rage incidents within a few miles of my house over the last decade, in which people were murdered by a road rager with a gun. Some of them have never been caught, and never will be.

    If I’m a cop, and I see a guy exit his vehicle and point his gun at the driver in the car behind him, I’m going to shoot that guy immediately.

    Even if I’m not a cop, my state has very strong Stand Your Ground Laws, and if a citizen were to kill a road rager who was pointing a gun at another driver, they’d certainly get away with it.

    The dead guy being an ICE agent might complicate it a bit, but it shouldn’t.





  • Hah, gotcha! It was the Cleveland Browns. I don’t even care about sports any more but I still hate the Ravens and Bill Bellichek, who turned out to be even more of a massive dickhead than we always thought.

    Yeah, a big part of why I was able to stay away was because of the whole commercial circus around pro sports. Now they have to have big parties for the drafts, etc. It’s gross.

    And frankly, the REAL reason sports is so big these days is because of gambling. The wealthy want to get your money any way they can, so now they have us betting on the Circuses part of the Bread & Circuses.

    They market strongest to young men, hoping to turn them into gambling addicts when they are young, so they can waste their lives throwing away any disposable income they encounter.

    They’re also working on figuring out a way to get us to pay some exorbitant price for the Bread part.

    Rich motherfuckers ruin everything.



  • One of the most interesting things about Roman architecture is that they had a virtuosic command of concrete, so they could build massive structures like the Coliseum. Unfortunately, when the Roman Empire collapsed, their technical knowledge of concrete was totally lost, and it was centuries before the secrets of concrete were rediscovered, and it became a ubiquitous building material again.

    The Romans were so good with concrete that they figured out a special recipe for underwater concrete (for harbors, bridges, etc.) that used the salt water to create a chemical reaction that made the underwater concrete so hard, that much of it still exists today. It was such a deep secret, that scientists didn’t figure it out until the last couple of decades.





  • You’re right, it wasn’t a Midterm. I lost my head for a moment because this off year election almost had the feeling and energy of a Midterm, and also the exultant feeling you get after a big Midterm win.

    The real Midterms next year are going to be much different than usual. The stakes haven’t been this high since before the Civil War, and the campaign is actually going to be scary, and very likely violent.

    And that’s if he allows elections. If he doesn’t, there will DEFINITELY be violence.
