Yup. I think that’s a big part of it, and there’s a lot of ageism there, too.

The U.S. has seen 1,023,916 deaths above normal since the pandemic started

They’re still low-balling it.

There’s something very fishy about this subthread.

ETA I now see @ralph_vonholst beat me to it. Again. So much for my angling.

And, according to Olive Garden’s tag-line, they don’t judge: “When You’re Here, You’re Family.”

Olive Garden. I remember visiting my now ex-mother-in-law where she lived in East Stroudsburg, PA and was very excited that they had finally gotten an Olive Garden. “We’re becoming a little Lehigh Valley,” she remarked with delight.

Look, the fishing shacks thing was a joke, sheesh, you people, and there is pornography in more than 90 percent of textbooks published today, and excuse me, no, I am not masturbating right in front of you, I’m trying to make a point about how incredibly sexy everything is nowadays, and if a simple effort to engage in legitimate political discourse is over your head that’s your problem, not mine. This press conference is over!

Meal Team Six has taken out the slald bar! There’s a machine gun nest at the desert table and General Rhodes has reported a gas attack! Waiting for further instructions.

Ha ha Stewie and the Oat Eaters.

Don’t know about endless breadsticks but as usual, endless excuses and story-changes if you are an R. You are hardened steel Patriots ready to lay down your lives OR it was a bunch of those lowlife meanies from Antifa or BLM. Could be you are sick of having elections stolen by Democrats OR you were there waiting for the prez to declare Insurrection. OR, you are an insurrectionist and should have had the law called out on YOU. It was purely a defensive “operation” OR you were there to teach the mud-people a lesson. Your stockpile of weapons in a van down by the river…nothing to worry about. Merely children’s toys OR Armageddon?

These are the brave people who may let slip, occasionally, what they were really up to but will not own it and just keep playing whatever card they think will work on Hannity or before a judge. Can you imagine any lefties in a pipeline protest or some other unrest flipping through their Rolodex of excuses and changing their stories by even one iota? I don’t remember the precise quote but every R seems born with the same yellow stripe and excuse/lie instinct.

We never did it.
OK we did it but it was someone else’s fault
OK it wasn’t their fault but it wasn’t illegal
OK it was illegal but here is an arcane rule saying you have to let us go
OK, so I dare any legal entity to do anything about it
Delay, counter sue, delay counter sue, delay counter sue.

Honesty was left outside the door cuz we’re talking politics here. Lying is the norm as is groveling for donor money.

When Trump didn’t do that, Rhodes and the other Oath Keepers gave up and went to Olive Garden,

and

The lawyers also argued that Stewart’s co-conspirator, Edward Vallejo, was too fat, old and unhealthy to pose a real threat

2 things:

  1. These two items are related, and
  2. That’s your defense?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
