Also! 'Trump never gets headlines like this'? There was a 5 day discourse on a late night Twitter typo! Every silly little thing he did was multiple news cycles.

There was a 5 day discourse on a late night Twitter typo!
Assuming you're talking about the "Covfefe" tweet, that was the perfect tweet. It was as if for one beautiful moment @dril was president.
@dril was a Trump ghost writer
I ~~was~~ am addicted to hate watching MSNBC but I can't get a fix. I used to sometimes watch the news at the top of the hour because it's the most important stuff plus there are effectively no ads for me. Once the first ads started - I had my fix so I could leave. There's no way I'm watching a later part of the broadcast because there too many teaser segments plus there are way too many ads.
But every fucking A block has been The Trump Show for weeks now. It doesn't matter what hour or what day. It's TRUMP TRIAL / TRUMP TRIAL / TRUMP TRIAL / OTHER TRUMP NEWS / etc. I can't hate watch something that makes me want to spoon out my eyes with a grapefruit spoon.

Holy shit Dan Quayle was VP over thirty years ago for one term. Amongst many other crimes, Al Gore allowed an election to be stolen from under him, Dick Cheney pillaged Iraq and Afghanistan for personal gain and is a strong contender for one is the most evil people to hold the office, and Biden is actively enabling genocide, but no, let's focus in the doofus who made a relatively simple spelling mistake and then mostly went away.

He also shot some dude in the face.
True but also you forgot the funny part where Dick Cheney was such an asshole he somehow got the guy he shot in the face to apologize to him.
At that point you might as well apologize to the gun.
I didn't know about any of this old people shit but reading his account of it he just read off of flash cards and then, with a group of other adults, told a kid he forgot a letter when the card read "potatoe"
he wasn't even spelling it, he just looked at the card and went with what it said, it's not like anybody asked him "how do you spell potato"
Well, y'all - y'all.

As the AP quotes it: “We have to know that sometimes people will open the door for you and leave it open. Sometimes they won’t. And then you need to kick that f——— door down.”
Is it me or does this headline make it sound like she used some sort of racial slur?
I wondered the same thing until I read the story.
Holy shit - what libs hold on to. I'd have to google this to even remember the context...
This is even more outrageous than that time she bought French cookware
Le Creuset, c'est fucking incroyable, hein?

Edit
My damn curiosity got the better of me.
Harris purchased items at E. Dehillerin, a legendary Paris culinary emporium, but the brand Le Creuset is drawing some knock-on attention
Nov. 24, 2021
A report posted Tuesday on the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, indicated Harris’s purchases had totaled 516 euros, or about $580, and included a copper dish and a copper frying pan.
“I just want to buy a pot,” she told reporters during the Nov. 13 visit, a portion of which was shown on C-SPAN. In a response to a question, Harris added that she was shopping with Thanksgiving cooking in mind.
The visit led to suggestions that Harris was out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans, as the Free Beacon connected its dots: “The vice-presidential shopping spree came as Americans stateside suffer from the worst inflation in three decades, putting strain on both consumers and small businesses.”
I wish I could afford Le Creuset! All I know is that the thrifting and yard sale reddits would go nuts with envy whenever somebody posted about finding some.
Le Creuset
It's really nice looking stuff. I'm a super lazy cook so I could never justify buying any of it except for a Dutch oven. My neighbor gave me what's clearly a Le Creuset knockoff. I use it at least 4 times a week and it's perfectly fine. But I still found myself googling Le Creuset Dutch ovens anyway. The "sea salt" color looks nice to me...

I live in a place with a surprisingly high number of rich people. And - like most rich people - they sell great stuff at low prices if it has a tiny blemish or they just are bored with it. I'm going to see if I can make Le Creuset RSS-like searches at Craigslist (or wherever) that can be sent to my email inbox. It can't hurt to make such a search.
Yeah, a Le Creuset is actually legitimately nice, just kinda overpriced in the same way that a KitchenAid is, because they're mostly wedding gift type things. I think part of what fucks people up about them is that Le Creusets are basically always bought with a huge discount, received as a gift, or gotten secondhand. The MSRP is like $450, sure, so when you google it it seems like a massively expensive thing, but people usually pay like half of the MSRP and then a huge chunk people who actually have them either got them as a gift for a major life event, inherited it, or found it secondhand. And they last forever, I think my parents have one from the 1940s.
Don't pay $450, get one secondhand for like $50 or $60, it's awesome and is absolutely worth it.
the lodge enameled cast-iron cookware is perfectly good
Lodge's stuff is great too, way cheaper but basically the same in terms of quality. The one caveat is that if you're looking secondhand, they're almost the same price. Used Le Creuset stuff is usually like $60, and Lodge stuff is like $40ish, but it can be harder to find in my experience, especially if you're looking for a certain size or shape.

it's a pot, how much can it cost? $10?
Nice cookware is expensive and worth it though. I mean that's really fucking expensive for ONE pot but I got a $500 stainless steel set for real cheap when i was working retail (it went clearance and I stacked discounts to llike 230 dollars) and they're so nice. I think unless I take a hammer to them they're going to be basically perfect forever
Enameled cast iron is pretty pricey, but it's good shit. It's got the durability of cast iron with the convenience of non-stick.
~~She went ahead and bought the Stanley cup of Dutch ovens. The one that's more of a status marker than a cooking pot.~~
Edit: L for me, I am wrong and uninformed
Not even. She bought a regular Le Creuset 14 oz cocotte which is just a nice normal sub-$50 Dutch oven, not even one of the $300 ones. Currently on sale for $36 on the manufacturer website with free shipping. Not exactly extravagantly overpriced.
If you want to criticise something, go after the kind of overpriced $160 pan
Or better yet, the extremely overpriced matching serving bowl that costed $367
She basically just went on an average Wiilliams-Sonoma shopping trip, which is for upper middle-class suckers sure but like ultimately who gives a shit if someone pays double for some cookware?
Thanks for the info; Big L for me.
As for double price for cookware; I'm ngl if I'm experiencing unprecedented CoL, have no job or housing security, and have no prospects for the future (all of which are entirely out my control) I would be kinda mad if my VP decided to buy some bougie shit. After all, my money is paying for that lifestyle and not my or other's survival.
True, I don't think former vice president Joe Biden can spell potato.
Listen, spud
it's 2024 and we're still laughing at Dan Quayle's spelling? lol
Nobody in a single forum anywhere is old enough to remember who he is.
I'm old enough, I met him as a kid!
😔 just call me Grandma, I guess
The only reason I know who Dan Quayle is is because of Oingo Boingo's "Insanity"; "The white folks think they're at the top; ask any proud white male. A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle."
truly a gaffe for the ages
Okay, the way that title is worded, I have no fucking idea what Harris did. She said a curse word in front of a crowd of Asian Americans? What curse word? A slur? Fuck shit ass? Dick weasel?
she said "you gotta fuckin' kick the door down" to a bunch of Asian people
AP worded it in this awkward, very mayonic way to make it sound like she racial slurred, when she only said the F word, and not even as an insult
hexbears will probably trip over themselves out of their hatred of libs in order to score an unnecessary win on this broken clock moment
Were you kicking doors the fuck down when you arrested parents because their kids skipped school?
how can kids swear if politicians also swear 
shoutout to the other fourth graders who were cool and wouldn't tattle on me for cussing
Could biden not spell potato when he was VP?
It's a reference to an incident with Dan Quayle, who was Bush Sr's VP.
Quayle was at an elementary school and tried to correct a child spelling potato by instead spelling it potatoe.
Dan Quayle's tweets would have been amazing. For the younglings around here who haven't seen his quotes.
If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

The global importance of the Middle East is that it keeps the Far East and the Near East from encroaching on each other.

It is an endless well, I reccomend looking them up.

Some lib is gonna spin it someday as a biting commentary on the role of Iran in the Russia-China relations

"Potato is spelled Ireland, jack. Don't ask me more questions like that or I'll beat you in a pushup contest."
You'd think libs would maybe not make claims about how intelligent this admin is or is not when the president probably cannot draw an analog clock, and was not criminally prosecuted because his memory is failing.
Who care my god being a lib must suck
Well, she's a cop, so I don't really give a shit how she's slagged in the media
