Chicken Fried Steak
Hell, yeah. My wife and I have overnighted in Vernal, Utah several times driving to or from seeing our daughter in Oregon. There's a restaurant there that has a nice breakfast buffet with lots of local traffic, so the food on the line is fresh and hot. The first time there we saw a group of "experienced gentlemen" having breakfast together, looking very similar to that picture. The next time we were through, we stopped in there again but before the guys got there. One of the waitresses was putting out their personal coffee cups at their usual seats when one of the guys walks in and sits down. "You can put Jim and Bill's cups back. Jim is in Denver to see his new grandson, and Bill is in the hospital." Followed by a discussion of why Bill was in the hospital (farm accident), how bad it was (not too bad; a few stitches and observation), did the waitress need to check in on Deb (Bill's wife), and well, you know the rest of the conversation. It was the homiest, neatest thing I've seen in a long time. I wish that I had a group like that.

Papers, please. Surly thread of deportation cruelty dominance
Dipshits saying that we don't want to be like another country, then using another country as an example of an unconstitutional action that they want to see done in the US always blow my mind. "We don't want to be a third world dictatorship, so let's do third world dictatorship things to keep that from happening" seems like really shitty logic to me.

All ICE personnel are terrorists. I hope that they all die in agony, slowly.

Fuck the Police!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet that deputy would be more than happy to whip out a lusty, "Fuck your feelings, snowflake" in different circumstances. Fuck your feelings, pig.

Minneapolis ICE Murder
I agree, but why can't we do that ourselves?

Minneapolis ICE Murder
No, that is our responsibility. We mustn't expect the rest of the world to save us from our neighbors. We must do it.

That sounded like a concussion. I hope that it was.

In all honesty, the majority need to be ordinary people who voted for and support this shit. If they aren't dealt with, we'll be right back here at some point in the not very distant future. The people who voted for this bear the ultimate responsibility.

I'm not calling for violence against these fascist assholes, but I reserve the right to celebrate for whatever reason I deem worthy.

Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
While going to junior college I worked at a McDonald's for a while. A coworker was putting a pie into the basket to be fried when he dropped the pie into the vat. Letting the pie sink to the bottom would have fouled all of the oil in the vat, and since he had the basket in his left hand, someone said, "Get it out!" He proceeded to put his right hand into the vat to grab it. He only got his fingers in before yanking his hand back, but not before getting a second degree burn on all five fingers. He was something of a jerk, so it was entertainingly horrifying. Unsurprisingly, he later completed his higher education with a bachelors from aggy.

Random thoughts that don't warrant a thread
Going through my dad's stuff after he passed last March we found at least three medium sized totes of old power cords, cables, and phone extensions. I say at least three because I'm still running across loose ones and small boxes of them. He had two entire totes containing owner's manuals on everything from telephones to boat motors. Power tools, televisions, computers, monitors, electric knives, electric razors, you name it. He kept the manuals on everything, going back to the 50s. It's amazing. And I have to dispose of it all. My wife and I are gradually but definitely reducing our junk like that so that our kids don't have to go through the same thing when we depart this mortal coil.

Things not going well in Venezuela
Ok, now that I have calmed down, I'll leave my part of this at this: I'm not a congressman, but I voted for one who was all gung ho to get after Iraq. I was also gung ho to get in there and kick their asses. Since I voted for and supported him, I am partially responsible for his actions on Iraq. The voters bear the ultimate responsibility for those whom they choose to make policy and lead. I figured out that this was a grave error even before Baghdad fell. I watched on the news as a Marine unit left a major Republican Guard base that they had just overrun. They didn't blow up or disable the arms and ammo they found there, and they didn't leave even a corporal's guard to watch over it. Just left it for someone else. I know this because a Marine officer that they were interviewing told the reporters and the watching world that they were doing so. That someone else was the insurgents, and they made use of those arms and ammo on many young Americans. Maybe even you. I have felt awful about that since then, because I voted for and supported the invasion that was being so stupidly run. I soon came to see that it was stupid from the beginning, and that I shouldn't have supported it. I appreciate you and your service more than you know, or probably believe. You did everything that was asked of you, and that is admirable and honorable. I'd love to have a beer with you and swap sea stories. My point, so coarsely and inelegantly made, is that you should not have been asked to do that, and I share responsibility for the asking. I now refuse to ask it of anyone else for such flimsy reasons. I've seen too many times where terrible things were justified by hoped for good results, only to just be terrible. You go have the best life possible. I wish you wisdom, prosperity, and peace. Semper Fidelis.

No, you spastic monumental fuck up, I am not bleeding all over about Maduro. He's out of power and unable to continue with his illegal and immoral oppression of his people. I'm ok with that. But the manner in which it was done is wrong. I am refusing to back another illegal, immoral, stupid excuse to send young American men and women to die and be maimed while killing and maiming Venezuelans so that oil companies and American oligarchs can make money. Money which you and I will never see and will bring us no benefit whatsoever. Two wrongs don't make a right, dumbfuck. I wish that I had understood this in time to not back sending you to Iraq, also for illegal and immoral reasons.

Where the fuck did I say that? When this plays out the way these "adventures" always do, the Venezuelan people will bear the brunt of the human costs of their "liberation". Trump, and you, do not give one shit about the Venezuelan people. Folks like you are why people think that Marines like me eat crayons.

Some of us judge Al Capone by his murders and rackets, not the soup kitchens that he also funded. "Taking the good with the bad" will not include me supporting trump's illegal and immoral actions, no matter what benefits might come from them.

Perfect alignment of post and avatar. Personally, I hate the little end of those that gets stuck in a seam or hem and you don't know it until you're wearing the garment and wonder what bug is biting you.
