What's a simple cooking sauce that you like and how do you make it?
By "cooking sauce" I mean something like tikka masala not BBQ sauce. I'm trying yet again to get myself to make sauces instead of buying them.
There are also Coke Oreos.
Wow. I never got a reply that fantastic. The best I ever got was a redditor who said something like "I work on The Hill and I don't know any congresspeople who act like you are implying." I tried to get them to keep talking but they effectively stopped with that comment.
[Edit - My first joke was nonsense! Trump isn't president now! It made perfect sense in my head though. Haha.]
Fixed joke
He says Junior is VP. Trump wins. Trump gets inaugurated. That night Junior cries because Trump uses his "official act" powers to immediately put in Barron as his replacement.

Sure he could be. Trump comes out to the media and says "Barron's not 35. But it doesn't matter. I said to myself..." He points to his own head "Self - the VP age is whatever Trump wants it to be. So - official act. Done. Barron VP."
"President Trump - what happens if the Supreme Court disagrees."
"Disagrees? Bad justices are not loyal so they are done. I get new justices to replace them."
"Done? What does 'done' mean?"
"Things end. People die. It's sad but it happens. Can be quick."
Jim Caviezel
After Trump introduces him he says...
"Ego sum Jim Caviezel - Trump scriptor VP colligunt et Iesus Christus Dominus meus et Salva—."
Trump is very angry. "Jim! People like your faith stuff. But nobody understands Latin. Do it in English like I told you to."
"I am Jim Caviezel - Trump's VP pick and Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior..."
Which one? His ＬＡＲＧＥ SON or one of the two older duds?
I saw a Bluesky post that said Americans think a small group of people choose national candidates. It was by a clever liberal so at first I thought he was being snarky and making fun of his own followers. But when he replied in the comments I realized his post wasn't ironic. It was 100% unironic. He actually has American civil religion brain.
I've seen his posts for years and it makes me laugh that it was only that day that I realized he's a shitlib. I've never seen him say anything about "The West Wing" - but I decided right then he's surely a fan boy.
This Biden situation really has brought out the shitlibs would can't resist using social media to lecture people on how things actually work and/or need to work.

Ninja edit
a big takeaway from all of the Biden drama is that huge swathes of the public — including reasonably engaged people — think that political parties are a small cabal of elites who select candidates by hand

I saw a post where a guy said he played Social Distortion's "Ball and Chain" on his brand new electric guitar. I haven't played guitar in more than a year. I got disgusted with my lack of musical ability so I just stopped. I couldn't remember that song. I almost started laughing when I listened to it. It's about the easiest song possible - 3 chords in a super easy strum pattern. That's it.
My goal by Monday is to pick up my guitar and play those chords until I get them right. I can even strum mindlessly as I watch speed chess online. Repetition and not dwelling on or - cough - fretting about stuff is key. Why by Monday and not - say - tonight? Um... Cat videos to watch? But in in all seriousness - I will do it. Just not right now.
The vid doesn't play for me.
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
I remember what happens to that guy. What if [redacted]
He is - strangely - quite optimistic about our ability to curb it, and backs up everything he says with evidence.
That's one of the strangest sentences I've ever heard from a rational Hexbear. I'm not against contrarianism. But you're going to have to explain yourself. I have a couple questions.
Strangely? C'mon. This isn't rocket science. He's an obnoxious turd who surely wants some sugar-daddy billionaire to fund him the rest of his life. And being quite optimistic and dismissive douchebag is a possible ticket to Cash City.
Evidence? What is this "evidence"? I really want to know.
I'm awful but why does everybody hate me?!?
Gee, let's go through the looking glass and try to solve this cryptic mystery...
If you're doing a bit I have admit - whoosh - it went straight over my head.
He's a lawyer too so I assume he'd die on the hill of the phrasing "[nobody] selects candidates by hand". People vote so blah blah blah.
Also - Bluesky is hilarious right now. The libs are basically smugly saying one of the following or even somehow both at the same time.
Nobody can be certain about anything.
Congress is back in session. AOC endorsed Biden plus any and all efforts to remove Biden are now dead. Get over it convention chaos bros - he's the nominee.
I can't be certain Biden's going to have more "bad days" but I'm damn close to certain. Does that count?
