Last month, at the suggestion of Hawaii Sis-In-Law, we got an Instant Pot. She mad some Butter Chicken in it, which was pretty good. But today is the first time I’ve used it. I’m making Pozole, which ought to be ready in a few minutes.
I have no idea how it will have turned out.

“Go fever” is a stone-cold bitch when it comes back and bites you; if you look at the four major NASA incidents that everyone knows (Apollo 1, Apollo 13, Challenger, and Columbia, with Apollo 13 being the only incident of the bunch that didn’t result in LOCV), “go fever” had a hand in all of them, to one extent or another.

And though he’s the party Establishment’s obvious exemplar, he can’t seem to raise any money — spending more in the last quarter than he brought in and moving into the homestretch with less than $9 million in the bank (roughly a third of what Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders has on hand).

Just like New Yorkers in 2016, we are intimately familiar with Trump’s bs in the DMV, we know he’s full of shit. As for taking pleasure in the Nats losing, the Stros won in large part due to Yorgan Alvarez who is a Cuban defector. And despite Rubio and Cruz kissing Trump’s ass, he’s opposed them too. Another factor was Carlos Correa who is from Puerto Rico. It truly is a World Series with all the backgrounds these players are from. I’m glad Trump got booed and got to hear lock him up. He’s going to watch even more FNC and ass kissing to make himself feel better after this and the justified criticism of how he handled the Baghadi death.

This is just proof of the lengths that the Deep State will go to in order to undermine the Presidency: packing an entire stadium with Soros-funded, Obama-led traitors!!!
Watching all of the delightful Trump-being-boo’d videos this morning I am struck by how well he is choreographed by his team to NEVER be in a situation where the public can express themselves in this way. Trump sweeps in to a selected audience for a photo op and quickly departs. Or, he has his lovely klan rallies where he is shown the crowd’s rapturous response. The most he gets is a raised finger or two. Until last night.
Trump will be even more cocooned after last night.

He expected to get cheers at the game last night. Instead he got booed and had to hear lock him up.
It seems pretty funny, the booing and chanting, but it’s really f’ing sad that an American president has so sullied the office that 40,000 people are booing and giving him the finger.

I never heard lectures about civility in the Obama years. And Obama had people against him just because of his name and not knowing anything about his agenda.

Trump is an unindicted coconspirator in federal felonies and but for DOJ policy, he would have already been indicted in Cohen case.

Really? This is the ultimately expression of the 1A and speaking truth to power. If anyone deserves impeachment it’s the unindicted coconspirator in the Cohen case and who violates the Constitution and the oath of office daily. It’s precisely what he needs to hear, because all his sycophantic supporters wont tell him how it really is, and his rallies are all about ego-boosting the vain, shallow, and fragile snowflake that Trump has always been.

It’s wildfire season year round in CA thanks to climate change and fickle winds and rains that alternate between drought and flooding rains (with mudslides after the wildfires to boot). The slightest spark will set off the tinder, and it’s becoming apparent that the power utilities have failed to properly maintain their rights of way and power lines to prevent fires. Their solution is to cut power to prevent fires. That’s not a solution. That’s an admission that they screwed up so badly that they don’t have any other options.
The state utility regulators better come down hard on PG&E and others to make sure that they get their distribution systems upgraded pronto. And yeah, that’ll mean higher costs to ratepayers, but the alternative? Wildfires that send millions fleeing from their homes, dozens dying, and billions of dollars in damages.

Same thing I was saying about arming teachers. They would just become target number 1.

The whole arming teachers business is bulkshit intended to sell more guns.
It doesn’t increase public safety one iota.
Teachers would be the first target of a shooter. Doesn’t matter if they’re packing or not. The presumption will be shoot those who may have guns first.
But would teachers actually be a deterrent if they were packing heat? Nope.
Because how often do teachers have their backs turned to the class or the door? Quite often when they’re up at the board writing. And where would this gun be? In their desk? Holster?
In the time it’d take to get the gun out of the desk or unholstered, they’d already be shot. The shooter always has the initial advantage.
And then there are the teachers who know that not having a gun doesn’t matter - that you can defuse the situation with a hug.
Footage emerged of a coach disarming a student with a loaded firearm and a plan to take his own life.
American teachers are acting with more bravery than the Senate, which has failed to pass any gun safety legislation.

I’m old enough to remember the pre-Facebook days, and how stories got told over the telephone, at brunch, or church socials, and the same things happened.
We’re in an information war. One big takeaway I get from the Russia documentaries is that Putin knows he can’t defeat the US militarily. This isn’t your father’s USSR that matched the US in military strength and in nuclear arsenal. But Putin being a former KGB man in the Eastern Bloc knows how to exploit weaknesses that do exist in societies. Putin obviously understands us better than our executive branch understands him.

And I have to admit I too fall into that trap of using FB as my soap box. What I do though and I really wish people would do is use their own words instead of just using memes. And I include my own family who will use Occupy Democrats in that too and even memes whose fundamental message I agree with. The problem is memes simplify reality and we’re parroting someone else’s agenda instead of thinking. I’ll see people who post nothing but political articles and memes. FB as Belafon put it is a great way to stay in touch with extended friends and family. I have two first cousins who reside in the UK. FB is my way of staying in touch with them. FB is also how I got closer to another cousin who is quite a bit older than me and we didn’t grow up together but we like to talk and her son is close to my youngest brother’s age. Plus she enjoys my family history research as well.

I like it over the pressure cooker because the lid is easy to deal with and you can set the cook values, including a timer, on it.
I’m also sure you’ve seen this in the real world as well, but a lot of people assume that an unchallenged assertion is correct. They will do that on Facebook as well.

Trump doesn’t know or care about history, but he may understand that Putin wants to reassemble the Soviet Union and, since Ukraine was part of that nation, Trump is fine with Putin recapturing it and reincorporating it into the Russian Federation.

Argentina election: Centre-left Alberto Fernández wins presidency
Mr Fernández, 60, got more than the 45% of the vote needed to win, beating conservative incumbent Mauricio Macri.
Raucous crowds gathered at Mr Fernández’s election headquarters to celebrate the result of Sunday’s poll.
The vote was held amid an economic crisis that has left a third of Argentina’s population in poverty.
Former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, 66, will now become vice-president in Mr Fernández’s administration. She is said to have played a key role in Mr Fernández’s electoral triumph.
Mr Macri, 60, had trailed behind his challenger in pre-election polls and was trounced by the opposition in primary elections in August. He conceded defeat on Sunday night, congratulating his political rival.
The person who wrote this diary, dailykos.com, from Argentinian, considers Macri’s election in 2015, the start of the whole mess that included Brexit and Trump’s election, and is hopeful that his defeat is an indication that things are turning around.

I was also a big fan of Dixie Chicks, but they bit the hand that fed them by offending the sensibilities of Middle America. Although I do not condone the death threats they received, their fall from grace was a matter of them not recognizing what makes a certain market (in this case Top 40 Country) such a powerful thing.
The band Dixie Chicks and lead singer Natalie Maines claim that Free Republic was instrumental in fueling a nationwide boycott of their music, which was organized by some former fans and radio stations after Maines made anti-Bush comments in 2003. In their 2006 documentary Shut Up and Sing as well as in interviews, the Dixie Chicks have often mentioned Free Republic in reference to the boycott, which sharply reduced sales of their CDs and concert tickets.

This is a thread for people who want to support a nationwide boycott of the Dixie Chicks for their unbelievable statements in another country!
…it is important to note that many people were very turned off by the
way that the Dixie Chicks were being treated, including many of their female supporters. However, these voices were not prioritized throughout this controversy. Rather, it was a vocal group of misogynists whose voices were highlighted. Specifically, an organization called the Free Republic which organized to ban the Dixie Chicks from country radio gained attention while many women’s voices remained silenced.

Toby fucking Keith. The way the Chicks were treated was everything wrong with how Americans responded to 9/11.
re: #357 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
I am talking about the Gatekeepers of straight Top 40 Country, the people who recently decided that “Old Town Road” was not “Country”.
But even among the old coutry guard there is diversity.
Remember, Billy Ray Cyrus was one of the first to call bullshit on the ‘Old Town Road’ controversy, and even guested on a remix of the song.

Oh yes, the Dixie Chicks thing might have blown over with a dip in sales but there were people behind it out to make a public example of them.

Hell, as much as I’m disinterested in Florida Georgia Line, they did a remix of their song ‘Cruise’ with Nelly, and they make use of hip hop beats in a lot of their stuff.
It doesn’t say much for their connection to ‘traditional’ country, but it does show that younger country audiences are a lot more accepting of other styles than, say, the Grand Old Opry crowd.

Billy Ray isn’t “old country guard” anymore. These days, he’s mostly just “Miley Cyrus’ dad.”

The GOO crowd booed Gram Parsons. I enjoy traditional country music like The Carter Family but the way the establishment reacts to change is awful.

True. And he actually got his share of ‘That ain’t Country’ when he put out ‘Achy Breaky Heart.’ Which is probably why he took up for Lil Nas X in the first place - he’d been there.
I am a big fan of Bakersfield Country, Rebel Country, alt-country, hippie bluegrass and Newgrass.
I was referring mostly to the Top 40 Country radio music industry, which has a certain ideological world view (God, Guns, Mother, Family, etc,) to promote
And Toby Fucking Keith. I recall his album “White Trash With Money”, which on one hand is devotedto “my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ” and contains a song called “Running Block”, which is a song about a bunch of guys getting drunk and having sex with hook-up dates in a motel room…

Baghdadi thought he was on his way to paradise and voluntarily blew himself up. He’s been hunted by the U.S. for years and survived who knows how many attempts on his life. The myth he was sniveling and crying doesn’t add up at all. That’s a Trump bedtime story.

re: #305 lawhawk
I just realized that this is total bulkshit too.
Look, the S&P has increased 17% this year. Trump claiming someone said their portfolio was up 70% is into either some speculative stuff, or lying about their rate of return. Heck, even a 40% runup strains credulity as he repeatedly inflates the totals each time he retells the story (9 month runup, massive growth, etc.).
And my guess is that most 401(k) wont have anything nearly that speculative in their offerings precisely because that’s not the point.
In fact, the NYPD takes part in the DCP offered by NYC. They have set portfolio of options, and allow more experienced investors to put up to 20% in other investments (self directed investment). Based on that alone, the fact some cop is touting 70% return (or even 40%) doesn’t pass the smell test over a 9 month period (essentially YTD).
Who is “nobody” here?
Many of us who are women, people of color, LGBT, immigrants are resisting Trump precisely *because* we remember everything he and his enablers have done to hurt our communities.
