The scholarship of the era confirms: the Cold War was a fight over hamburgers. https://t.co/P9eAkODNQc

Be honest: would you get between this guy and a hamburger?
Another reason: this is basically how Russians imagines all Americans are: fattened on fast-food, spoiled, and deeply stupid.

Wohl pal Jack Burkman is eager not to discuss how his Mueller smear collapsed: “Rather than focus on the messenger, focus on the facts.”

By 2023, CPAC will be 90% liberal & lefty #content creators there to gawk at the freaks

Goddess willing, by 2023 CPAC will be one of those historical monstrosities, like the 1976 Republic convention, known only to desperate poli-sci students looking for a PhD topic… and unwitting fellow site attendees reminiscing about just how weird that weekend got after dark.

Yes, (a similar thought) I hope it will be like smallpox — a horrible disease of the past that has been wiped out except for samples safely stored in a BSL Level 4 lab.

But the taco truck menace is a national emergency. The end game is when they’ve take over every corner!

We recently attended a wedding where the food at the reception was from a taco truck. It was incredibly good!

No socialized beef for you.
So Gorka accused Joseph “Moar Steel Mills” Stalin of being an environmentalist. I see.

Is it still going on today? I wonder how many of my students will skip class to go? There’s usually one or two.

I haven’t had my allotted one cup of caffeine yet so am having trouble making sense of all the stupidity. Oh wait…

As with Jimmy O’Keefe, Wohl just hasn’t met “the right person” yet.
And by “right person,” I mean someone he/they tried to fuck over, who then pounds the ever-loving shit out of him/them.

What is really sad about the Trump era is that CPAC is now comic relief. That is truly sad.

@Geoboy: My daughter is doing this for her wedding in July. With gourmet popcorn hors d’oeuvres. The ring bearer and flower girls are alpacas. .

@Geoboy: My cousins in Madison, WI, had a big tent in an open field for their wedding. The wedding feast consisted of barbecue chicken, tacos, and ice cream goodies from three independent food trucks.The refrigerated beer trailer was far and away the most popular destination (DadFromNY was responsible for changing the kegs, particularly the root beer kegs for the kiddoes and teetotalers). It was an absolute blast, and it made for a splendid communal feast for several hundred guests, many of who were meeting for the first time. The food truck peeps left trays of leftovers in the refrigerated beer truck that were consumed at the after-party the next day. Everything, including the beer and ice cream, was locally sourced. Plenty of fattened, spoiled Americans were had that day.

They’ve mostly repealed even that, and taken us with them. If enough people decide we’re in the New Fifties, then we are.
