She Should've Just Ordered The Soulful Sandwich

I thought the Right was completely insane for pretty much all of Obama's administration; now it's pretty clear the crazy is equally present on the Left.

Kicking somebody out of a resturrest because you don't like their politics? Check.

Refusing to make a gay couple a cake because you don't like their sexual orientation? Check.

Fucking idiots.

Nah fuck that. Anyone who works for this administration gets what they have coming to them. Unlike people who are born gay, she has a choice in representing and constantly lying for a piece-of-shit individual who is ruining our country’s standing in the world, treating foreigners like they are less than human and lying constantly to the people he represents. 

Fuck her. I hope her, Stephen Miller and the rest of their fucked up crew get harassed in public wherever they go. They don’t give a shit about a very large portion of the citizens of our country and they deserve it back in spades. 

The restaurant owner asked her staff if they wanted to serve Sarah Huckabee Sanders. They voted NO. 

No shoes, no shirt, no morals, NO SERVICE. 

Nope. The same logic that compels a person to kick somebody out of a restaurant for their politics compels a person to discriminate for other reasons. 

Bigots of all stripes always think they have the high ground. That's how bigotry works.

Kicking somebody out of a resturrest because you don't like their politics? Check.  <<<< YES and Awesome ! THX Red Hen

 

resturrest <<< Ha Ha

 

Sarah Needs to Show Up at Trump N Sucks Diner  Their Motto - Sorry No Refills

 

 

A typo! Get himmmmm!

 I bet SHS can leave a buffet line looking like it's just been strafed by a squadron of Russian fighters.

I’m definitely a bigot towards the people who are currently running our country along with Chinese tourists. Guilty

These people who claim to be Christians are nothing but charlatans. I’m definitely intolerant of the majority of their ideas. 

Hope I didn’t have any typos. 

Bucky, I appreciate your comment, but can't you see how slippery the slope is here?

I'll be candid and admit I'm not a fan of right wing people in general; but to throw somebody out of a restaurant for their politics definitely doesn't represent the kind of tolerance and intelligence that I've always associated with being liberal. In fact, I'd say it's the exact opposite. 

The greatest trick Donald Trump has pulled on the country is lowering the bar of civility to a place where people who used to be reasonable actually cheer for shit like this. Fuck that. 

>Nope. The same logic that compels a person to kick somebody out of a restaurant for their politics compels a person to discriminate for other reasons. 

 

 

Lol, racists/bigots aren’t a protected class.

 

Zero tolerance for Nazis.

My argument isn't that they're a protected class, Nancy.

My argument is for civility, and the crazy idea that kicking people you disagree with politcally out of restaurants is a lot closer to nazi shit than I'm comfortable with.

 kicking Nazis out of the restaurants isn’t close to anything.

 

 

Sanders is a Nazi. Got it.

>>>The greatest trick Donald Trump has pulled on the country is lowering the bar of civility to a place where people who used to be reasonable actually cheer for shit like this. Fuck that. 

I see all of your points. Well put. 

In all honesty, if I went through life with news blinders on my life hasn’t changed much of at all since Trump has been elected. But to me, he’s SUCH an over the top needlessly reckless idiot, whose supporters dig in deeper the more and more unhinged he gets, that it’s hard to remain civil. I shouldn’t have disdain for any percentage of fellow Americans but it’s definitely come to that. 

Shitty 

im gonna have a beer 

 

my bad. She’s  NeoNazi. they have infested the White House.

It's Alt-Right Ma, I'm only eating.

Lies.

Lies about lying.

Treats people like shit.

Lies about treating people like shit.

Tomorrow or Monday she'll be lying about lying about treating people like shit.

She just scheduled a visit from ice

they can't see that for what it is because of trump hatred. boggles the mind

xx double post xx

What the hell is wrong about being intolerant of facism, hatred and lies?  Those are the things we are not supposed to tolerate.

Good for the Little Red Hen.  I look forward to dining there if I'm ever in Lexington.

Anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant knows that they did her a favor by asking her to leave

 

 

I think they're a "farm to table" restaurant, not a "shithole to table" joint, Nancy.

Exactly, which is why they asked her to leave. 

 

This is the first time she was refused service, after the Trump regime started putting brown children in cages she can expect it to happen     Again.

 

 

 

I agree that the moral high ground (if there is such a thing anymore), would be not to have kicked her out, though it sounds like she wasn't kicked out, but asked to leave (wow, such distinctions).  Personally they should have just asked her questions the entire time, with follow ups, and perhaps some fact checking by the dishwasher, who I'm sure is use to cleaning up other peoples shit...

It depends on how you view the child-separation policy. If you think the decision to separate children from parents as a means of deterring  other asylum seekers is simply one more policy choice, like tax cuts or negotiations with North Korea, then, yes, screaming at political opponents is inappropriate. Such conduct is contrary to the democratic notion that we do not personally destroy our political opponents but, rather, respect differences and learn to fight and perhaps compromise on another day. If, however, you think the child-separation policy is in a different class — a human rights crime, an inhumane policy for which the public was primed by efforts to dehumanize a group of people (“animals,” “infest,” etc.) — then it is both natural and appropriate for decent human beings to shame and shun the practitioners of such a policy.

This exception to the rule of polite social action should be used sparingly (if for no other reason than we will never get through a restaurant meal without someone hollering at someone else). If a lawmaker, for example, who favors a harsh, ill-conceived immigration bill walks into a restaurant, I would not recommend raising a rumpus (though I would not invite that person to my home).

Listen, I get it. The notion of shunning or excluding or heckling can devolve into philosophical hair-splitting as to whether someone has engaged in normal public service or whether they’ve strayed outside the bounds of decent behavior. Each to his own method of expressing disdain and fury, I suppose.

I have to agree with St. Mark on this one. It is a slippery slope and I'm afraid we have entered the steepest part of that slope and things will only accelerate for some time now. 

Here is a realistic scenario that I would not be at all surprised happens soon and could easily be supported with some of the things mentioned above. 

A mild mannered person who is sick of the Trump era has placed a Dump Trump bumper sticker on their car. The are driving through a rural area of the country that has strong support for the president. They look down at gas gauge and needs to get some fuel. They notice that a sign says last fuel for 70 miles. They pul in and the owner/worker of the station looks at the bumper sticker and lets the driver know that they don't serve those who denigrate the president. By the above reasoning, it should be "OK" to refuse them service. 

^^^ So is this scenario only in Jersey? 

Most people use a credit card and pump their own gas never speaking to anyone.

 

^^^

The scenario is is a very rural area where pay at the pump technology might not exist, but I could extend the scenario a bit and say pay at the pump technology does exist and via, say, CCTV the proprietor shuts off the pump. 

And Oregon.

It’s a fucking restaurant, and you’re open to the public. You serve your damn customers, regardless of their political and/or social views. If that customer makes offensive comments while in your place of business, you then ask them to leave.

Sanders may be a piece of shit, but she has every right to be served in a public place. She should also expect that her food is free of spit or jizz.

What the hell has this country come to? 

She is complicit and no ordinary citizen. The Trump regime crossed a line when they started snatching babies and putting them in cages, and they're getting a taste of their own "moral" medicine.

Sanders has also defended the right's of restaurants refusing service to people they find morally objectionable.   even going so far as to claim that putting up signs in restaurants "no gays served here" is fair game - you know, based on one's religious/moral convictions. 

 

 

 

Fuck her right to dine in peace. 

Bottom line is they opened the door to a slippery slope by hiding behind their "religious convictions".

Example: Refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

 

Now these same people have issue with others refusing service based on moral conviction.

The difference here, is those being denied service have made a choice to lie to the public (every fucking day)

for a budding Authoritarian, they weren't born that way.

 

They don't like "States Rights" being turned on them either.

... do as I say, not as I do.

 

 

So, you get back at them by sinking to their level?

Trumpist are suffering the free market consequences of being Deplorable, but deplorables are not a 

protected class.

 

Liberal women are under no social or moral compulsion to provide romance and sex to misogynistic men.

Honduran cooks are under no obligation to serve food to those who want to rip Central American kids out of their parents’ arms and put them in cages.

Cosmpolitan cities have no responsibility to create safe spaces for people who reject their values and want to gerrymander them out of representation in government. 

 

They go low, we go high is viewed as weakness in their eyes.

The only thing that works is using their words and tactics against them,

while exposing their hypocrisy.

 

 

I>>>>>t’s a fucking restaurant, and you’re open to the public. You serve your damn customers, regardless of their political and/or social views. If that customer makes offensive comments while in your place of business, you then ask them to leave.

 

This.

Poor people are rejected by cosmopolitan cities.

^poor people are welcomed to sleep on the sidewalks and eat from the trash cans

i own a restaurant and would not ask her to leave. would i like serving her? not necessarily....but i'd be professional.

fuck her, yes. but i also wouldn't ask HRC or Bill Clinton to leave, fuck them as well. gross people. 

now if steven miller walked in wearing his white supremacist gear, i'd ask that mother fucker to leave real quick. 

The far edges of the conservatives movement often fantasize about a second civil war with the American left,

imaging multi-racial shock troops coming to rural areas to extract taxes and confiscate guns,

facing a local insurgency with a rifle behind every duck blind.

But that Red Dawn scenario has no bearing to a plausible dystopian reality.

The real situation is the reverse:

Conservatives want the social and economic benefits that come from ecumenical urbanism, but they want to retain the deep bigotries and social privileges that come from provincialism. They want the right to enact zoning and social policies that discriminate against protected class minorities in their own communities, but they want not to suffer the cultural consequences of those views in liberal cities. 

https://washingtonmonthly.com/2018/06/23/trumpists-are-suffering-the-fre...

You cannot claim to be open and tolerant while discriminating and not being inclusive - it does not work.

Both sides of the aisle are deplorable on this.

This is how and why we lost civility - and it will be hard to ever get it back when people go around tit for tatting.

>>> i own a restaurant and would not ask her to leave. would i like serving her? not necessarily. .

 

Would you serve Stephen Miller plain clothed?

Pyramid,  off subject a bit, but the other day i was i a diner and noticed a guy wearing his MC club patch,  a one percenter MC club. Would you serve this man? Ask him to leave? 

Does anyone remember MC 900 Foot Jesus: https://youtu.be/3KB54p8_wh8

a one percenter motorcycle club patch? sure...? is it some type of secret nazi  patch? 

Sort of, pyramid, he was a Pagan. The Pagans have  connections with the Aryan Brotherhood. 

 

You're from philly,  so I'm sure you are familiar with the  Pagans

>>> This is how and why we lost our civility - and it will be hard to get it back when people go around tit for tatting.

 

Make no mistake this isn't tit for tat.

Never been that way for the religious extremist ie: States Right, "Religious Convictions"...

 

If you think this is anything less than the fight for the SOUL of our Democracy,

you've already surrendered.

If you think this is how we solve the divide

the divide wins

Ogkb (pyramidheat) -

Steven Miller, Richard Spencer, Steve Bannon and Milo Yiannopoulos walk into your restaurant, do you seat and serve them?

or 

Do you politely ask them to leave?

Hispanic people will not work for conservative voters anymore. 

You serve them “special sauce” lol

i'm not asking anybody to leave; if they bring hate symbols and/or hate speech into my joint, that's different, and absolutely they're being told to leave. 

6 - We're waaay past that.

You might not be, but this is the reality of the situation.

It's been going this way for a couple decades and they're counting on you to keep your views.

Meanwhile they march forward with their agenda.

It's not by accident that the extremist minority has risen to power to take over all 3 Branches of our Government.

It's by design.

Thanks, pyramid.  Is the patch hate symbol enough?

It is for me. I split and went to a different restaurant. 

is it a hate symbol? then yes. 

sorry, i'm not up to date on all the hate symbols. 

You're from philly?

Not familiar with the Pagans?

>>> i'm not asking anybody to leave; if they bring hate symbols and/or hate speech into my joint, that's different, and absolutely they're being told to leave. 

Dude, their faces are known throughout the WORLD as symbols of hate.

So if they don't wear the symbols... KKK, swastikas etc.

it's cool?

Sorry, if you aren't okay with drawing a line against fascism, you are enabling it to fester and grow.  Maybe if a few more Germans had stepped up and resisted the Nazis rise to power, the Holocaust wouldn't  have happened. 

No one answered my question.  What's wrong with being intolerant of hatred, lies and, yes, fascism?

You have to draw a line in the sand somewhere, otherwise you are just spineless and complicit.

The Jews, Gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and Homosexuals of Europe in the 1930s-40s tried the civility route.  Guess what happened to them?

i am. should i know all their hate symbols? lol. yeah man they're a fucked up gang. 

i am sure i have served white supremacists before.  no, i don't want to. 

pretty sure i've stood in line at john's roast pork w/ pmc standing in front of me. 

>I am. should i know all their hate symbols?<

 

He was wearing his Pagan patch, sitting with a couple other guys. No need for a deep understanding of one percenter culture to know who the guy was. 

I guess with some people their bottom line is more important than their moral convictions.

 

So much grasping at straws. Cringy af.

lol, tod. that's great.

god dammit i said i'd serve HRC, aren't you happy? 

I bet it feels "Cringy AF" for you Ateix.

Intelligent thought with fact isn't your strong suit.

>>> lol, tod. that's great.

god dammit i said i'd serve HRC, aren't you happy? 

 

We frequent Vermont at least once year.

What did you say the name of your restaurant is?

 >>>you think this is anything less than the fight for the SOUL of our Democracy

 

Spoken like a true fanatic. Those kind of statements ring the same bell the zealots on the extreme religious right were banging on in the 90's. 

Your dome is full of theoretical shit that never comes into play. That's the extent to which you can demonstrate resistance to a shitty administration? Cringy as fuck.

Here's some more theoretical resistance.

Merriam - Webster

Definition of Fascism

1: often capitalized  : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition 

2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fascism

 

^^^Is this theoretical or the current state of our Government?

Ice cream,  the great unifier...

Good question Mark.  I don't ID people who walk in, so to me she would just be another customer.  If she started ranting some crazy shit or acting agro, I would ask her to leave, as I have asked others who were out of line or just having a bad day.  Otherwise my objective is to hopefully connect the consumer with a piece of music or cinema (we sell a lot more than just "used cds") that elevates their consciousness.  The arts can be a healing experience.  Cuisine can be too.  

I may take a different approach, but I support the rights of an owner to not serve someone they have ethical differences with.

What part of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" are you not getting?

We should all do what Tod is doing. 

>>>Good question Mark.  I don't ID people who walk in, so to me she would just be another customer.  If she started ranting some crazy shit or acting agro, I would ask her to leave, as I have asked others who were out of line or just having a bad day.  Otherwise my objective is to hopefully connect the consumer with a piece of music or cinema (we sell a lot more than just "used cds") that elevates their consciousness.  The arts can be a healing experience.  Cuisine can be too.  

 

I was just trolling you, Java Dave. Nobody buys used CDs anymore.

It's not a Dairy Queen, but it's cool, we'll be sure to look you up Chef.

Look him up on facebook, Tchod.

Of course you were, Mark, that's all you 're good for.  Very Trumpian of you.  While you get points for acknowledging your inner troll,  you still need to face up to that fascist-enabler inside of you. 

It's funny how you're always cozying up to the millenials, yet the millenial working for me yesterday read what you were posting in this thread and thought you were either ignorant or full-of-shit.

As for your wildly inaccurate conjecture, I've got $800 in my pocket from yesterday that says otherwise.

 

$800 day on a Saturday? Yikes. Hope you don't have a lot of overhead.

"I actually thing there's a big difference between one of the most powerful people in the world, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, using her official government platform to claim victim status when what she's doing is trying to distract from the way the Administrations'  policies are actually victimizing some of the least powerful people on the planet - refugee children. There's a difference being discriminated against for who you are and being judged for what you do. And that's what we saw" - Heather McGhee

I bet. The kid making $13 and hour at your used CD store is no doubt an accomplished social critic offering bleeding edge insights on the people who make fun of his boss on the internet. 

 

>> As for your wildly inaccurate conjecture, I've got $800 in my pocket from yesterday that says otherwise.

 

Damn, baller. Looks like you're all lined up for another twofer at Men's Warehouse. 

Not really.  Overhead's not too bad, but it's part of doing business.  

That's a solid day, Saturday or otherwise.  Some of my fellow entrepreneurs in the U-District were moaning that they were slow (it's Pride weekend here, and most of the activities surrounding that are happening in a different neighborhood), but we had a good crowd yesterday.   I don't really get rich doing what I do, though.  It pays the bills and hopefully contributes something positive to my neighborhood, and for the most part, I enjoy it.  Somewhat of a labor of love, but I'm not alone in that.  You should give it a try some day, if you can make the numbers work.

actually the pious one is spot on with his analysis

Mark is transparently showing his inner-Trump in this thread.

His inner-Trump! 

Let's be real, Java Dave. I trolled the shit out of you while Obama was in office, too. 

Minimum's $14/hour here right now.  The kid questions stupid shit I say too.  

He just thinks you're ignorant, and missing the point.

Hmmm, thought trolling was a no-no here?

Judit, Makaha, Hey Davey, are you going to draw the line?

What to do when you're getting owned by St. Mark on the zone:

1.) Call him a fascist

2.) Make up an offline person to validate your losing position

3.) Cry for admin

Java Dave- 7

Mark- 3

Keep up the good work JD.

I lost points for the Hitler mustache, didn't I?

Actually I take it back. Crying to admin is never a good look JD. I try hard to defend you but you make it difficult.

 IMG_1105.PNG

Yeah, sure man.  I'm just living high on the hog in my mansion on the hill.  

Minimum goes to $15 next year.  Still won't be enough to get by for most in this overheated market.  Many small businesses have cut and will continue to cut employee hours to try to cover costs.  It's not a healthy recipe.  For the first time in my life, I wouldn't be surprised to see class warfare occur.  

Those are issues I have to consider daily.

When are you going to consider that you don't need to be such a 24/7 douche?

 

>> Hmmm, thought trolling was a no-no here?

Lol, you copped the title for this thread from a convo where I was literally asked what percentage black I am, and whether my dad was in the picture. Don't be such a softie, Java Dave.

Anyway, good to see Tod keeping up the fight. #Resist!

>>>When are you going to consider that you don't need to be such a 24/7 douche

 

I'm not the guy paying my employees a substandard wage. I'm also not the guy advocating throwing people I disagree with out of restaurants.

Just sayin'.

What does Miriam-Webster have for 'virtue signaling?'

Feel free to take notes, TOD.

Maybe the onus should be on the establishment to post their philosophies:

”We proudly support and employ people of all races, nationalities, languages and gender identities. If you disagree with our philosophies, perhaps this establishment isn’t for you.”

or

”Our religious and political beliefs are that gender and marriage is one man, one woman, and that people in this country should speak English. If you disagree, perhaps this establishment isn’t for you.”

Let the patrons decide.

Just pointing out the rules of engagement here.  

If you're going to resort to trolling, you should take it elsewhere.  I'm sure there are other places to work through your attention issues.

My crew enjoy their work and seem to like their jobs.  They are making more from me as entry-level part-time employees than I was making as a full-time buyer on the world's busiest buy counter at the Amoeba Music in Hollywood.  If I could, I would pay them more.  It worries me that the costs of doing business could negate doing business.  Like I said, not a healthy situation.

Java Dave, you realize people have access to read this thread real time, right?

I only ask because there's nothing more pathetic than a zoner who attempts to troll another zoner, and then cries foul when they get their shit pushed.

Huh?  Close to 600 what?  Shoulder hairs?

Not effectively, no.

 

>>>I'm not the one bringing up impertinent personal information at an attempt to unnerve.

Right. You're the guy throwing around accusations of treachery and fascism enabling because i don't support throwing people out of restaurants.

The face tats on that kid in the back are approaching carnival attraction levels.

Sarah is a big girl and can handle that.  Its also the restaurant's owner right to refuse service to anyone (as long as its not based on a protected status and working for Trump is not).

That being said, there is a growing feeling of intolerance from the left on anything having to do with Trump that reminds me of the wacky way the right wingers hated everything and anything having to do with Obama.  For example, I heard that there was some late night comedy host who recently wished a recession upon America just to hurt Trump's chances at a second term.  I despise Trump and his megalomania as much as the next guy, but to wish ill will on America to get at Trump is really cutting off your nose to spite your face.   Reminds me of how the right wing was furious when Obama got the Nobel peace prize and cheered when Chicago lost the Olympics bid.   There are many, many reasons that Trump and his policies are a shameful embarrassment to this country, but the critics really need to stay focused on substance and not let raw emotion and blind rage dictate the debate. 

The "rage" isn't "blind."

 

Your false equivalence might be, tho.

Poor Ana Navarro. She likes to shit on stay-at-home-moms because her womb is a barren wasteland of sadness.

Enjoy your cats.

can I get someone to Trumpslain that one ^

>>>>Nobody buys used CDs anymore

At 50 cents to $2 a pop, its the best musical bang for your buck.

>>>can I get someone to Trumpslain that one 

 

I can help, Nancy. See, Ana Navarro is a republican strategist who made a comment in 2013 about how stay-at-home-moms "lean back on a rocking chair with a mint julep"; because, ya know, she doesn't have any children of her own and never will.

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/tim-graham/2013/06/04/nbc-rino-stra...

Wait, stay at home Moms aren't allowed to drink Mint Julep's? What about stay at home Dads?

 

 

Nice cherry picking on her statements though. Cheers!

>>>Wait , stay at home Moms aren't allowed to drink Mint Julep's? What about stay at home Dads?

Not according to Ana, no. 

I believe she was implying stay-at-home-moms aren't accomplished, hard working women like herself.

>>>Nice cherry picking on her statements though. Cheers

Oh, there's a lot more hits from your girl Ana Navarro. Key player for Jeb Bush for the past 20 years. 

Please tell me you knew who she was before you picked the meme? 

At 50 cents to $2 a pop, its the best musical bang for your buck.<<<

 

I Don't Collect Clown CDs at that Price .... Some are $4.99 to 6.99 The Horror ! Not !! Collecting CDs is one Of The Wonders Of The World - I Will Do It Till I Die.

No, never heard of her before. never heard of George Will either. Lol.

 

 

 

She’s been a critic of Trump’s policies for 2 years now. and she’s been spot on. Now go cherry pick some previous George Will statements that we all disagree with and are totally irrelevant to the topic at hand.

 

Naw. The only orders you get to give are for another mint julep, Nanc. 

I'm honestly disappointed. You should never be outflanked by me in a political discussion, but here we are. Do some research before you go meme'n next time. Come to think of it, we had that whole thing with Kanye West quoting that feminist who misquoted Tubman last month too, didn't we? 

Crazy times. Enjoy your drink.

You can diss Anna all you want, but what she's saying now is relevant and she's been kicking ass. 

 

> that whole thing with Kanye West quoting that feminist who misquoted Tubman last month too, didn't we? 

 

No we didn't. I think you must be drunk. Or just too worked up trying to be a Trump apologist. 

 

 

 

Wrong. I'll link the Kanye thread when I sober up from all these mint juleps, Nanc. 

In the meantime, enjoy your association with the slightly more moderate wing of the republican party; who openly mock women like you. Like i said, crazy times. 

She didn’t mock women like me, Mark.

 

I have never been a stay at home mom, not that there’s anything wrong with that. or drinking Mint Juleps. 

 

 

Focus, man. 

My bad. I didn't know you had a job. I thought your thing was bulk shopping at Costco, juggling, and progressive politics. Sincere apologies.

I do appreciate you advocating for stay at home Moms though, Mark. is your wife one? Do you help her with the grocery shopping?

 

I don't really do much, Nanc.

Most of my free time is devoted to trolling Java Dave.

My buddy was a stay at home dad. Now makes 6 figures

I have a buddy who has the same situation, Turtle. Nothing wrong with staying home with your children.

I bet Ana Navarro calls her cats "fur babies".

Mark, did you just hack my facebook account?

Whoever did it, that's some weak ass bullshit.

I'm asking Admin to clarify their position on trolling.  Mark is actively trolling me in this thread.  He has stated so many times.  Are you all going to allow that?  Have the rules of engagement here changed?

I'm asking for some clarification.

Imagine if Obama or one of his high profile officials was denied a meal from a farm to table restaurant because of his cozy stance with Monsanto, and it made national news. It might of actually highlighted  the issue and his failure to do anything to protect the public from their enormous grasp as a corporation on the world food supply.

 

Who cares Sara Sanders didn’t get a meal?  She is the face and voice defending these narcissistic, inhumane pieces of shit. In this case it highlights the deep anger people have toward this administration and their lack of basic human decency. It’s not for nothing.

>>Have the rules of engagement here changed?

LOL. Rules?

Admin: "You boys play nice. Don't make me stop this thread and turn around."

Yes, Java Dave. I'm trolling you from a secret location which may or may not be located deep within the Trump International hotel.

The president führer has given me access to special Russian trollware, which gives me the ability to hack into the Facebook accounts of small business owners in order to spread fascist propaganda brainwashing people into being more civil and less reactionary when they think about throwing people out of their chicken restaurants. 

I also have a little cage full of children illegal immigrants who do the really dicey IT work, and keep me pumped full of motorboat and Nicaraguan coffee so I can do this shit 24/7, like a boss.

Great thread, btw. Your best in a while, I think.

Jesus, Dave. Embarrassing.

>>>Mark, did you just hack my facebook account?

thats fucked up. you should really post some screen shots of the hack, please.

Especially due to the timing of it and what's been going on in this thread.

Definitely weird.

lol, Incel Dave has gone full Dewitt.

 

Fucking old people and technology.  A perfect comedy mix.

Fucking young people and civility. They don't mix at all.

Pretty sure Mark didn’t hack his Facebook, Surfdead.  He probably got some malware from all the porn he watches.

>>> Pretty sure Mark didn't hack his Facebook, Surfdead.

Still pretty fucking weird whether or not he did, giving the timing and everything.

Just sayin'

Lolol

Not saying he did.

Just tired of all the isms that get flung too often here. Racism and sexual orientationism are usually frowned upon here (and rightly so). Sexism gets a bit of a pass sometimes, unfortunately, and ageism is rampant.

It's OK to harass folks for what they do - it's usually just rude. Not OK to harass them for what they are.

Pretty much just like the parameters that should apply when transacting business at a cake shop or firewood vendor.

>>>>>>It's OK to harass folks for what they do

 

Like making their employees read St Marks posts on Viva?

Here's an "ism" that can't be just swept under the rug, unless you support Fascism.

I didn't say fashion, I said Fascism.

 

IMG_1107.PNG

I'm a little late to this party but ill say to Mark and others -- racism, lies, propaganda and the need to keep a insane con man in the oval office isn't politics.  

Very good post, Surf. Cuts through the bullshit and gets right down to the truth.

Ageism.

Lol

Surf and 6 tackling those hard hitting issues.   

Be best! 

 

Lol

>> ageism is rampant.

>> It's OK to harass folks for what they do - it's usually just rude. Not OK to harass them for what they are.

Give me a fucking break. You old folks are a legally protected class. So sue if you are being harassed or discriminated against.

But if you just can't take a good ball busting, you're in the wrong place.

Ateixism

where is that italian fascist jacket explanation quoted from?

Perhaps my favorite part of this thread is seeing people who are normally at loggerheads with each other agreeing with each other that this action isn't such a great idea. Gives me hope for the future and brings a tear to my eye. 

That's not really happening in this thread but yeah....sure....  

 

“He could go down as one of the greatest presidents in history because he has disrupted the thing so much. No one is able to counter this guy in an intelligent way,” Lynch said.

Lynch added that Trump has shown that there could be a space for political outsiders to move the country forward.

“Our so-called leaders can’t take the country forward, can’t get anything done. Like children, they are. Trump has shown all this,” he told the newspaper

 

>> Wow, first Kanye and now David Lynch.

 A lot of film students must be waking up and crying in their coffee.

>>> where is that italian fascist jacket explanation quoted from?

It was on Twitter.

Every one of the points mentioned can be individually fact checked on google.

It ALL checks out as fact.

See for yourself.

>..The president chimed in after the initial uproar, claiming that his wife wore the jacket to taunt the “fake news media.” But given that Mrs. Trump has never shown animosity toward the press the way her husband has, that interpretation feels empty. Others have speculated that the message was intended for her husband. There’s also a chance that it was meant for the families she was visiting.

“It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message,” said her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham.

Grisham was right. There was no hidden message. There are no hidden messages in fashion. Everything we wear is deliberate, even if we’re trying to deliberately show that we don’t care. We wear clothes that we think are professional, flattering, sexy, comfortable, or formal, and we do it with purpose. We advertise bands, brands, sports teams, and political leanings. We dress for funerals, weddings, school, and the beach, and we think about all of it — even the flip-flops.

That’s why it’s nearly impossible to view Mrs. Trump’s Zara jacket as an afterthought. The first lady is a woman who understands the power of clothes, and unless the jacket was placed on her while blindfolded, she was sending a message. We’ll likely never know what the true message was. All we really know is that the chilly, detached “I really don’t care, do u?” felt like a slap to an already bruised and divided national psyche...

>This article was sparked by the jacket that Melania Trump wore as she travelled to a detention camp for migrant children, but my intent isn’t to argue that she or her staff chose that jacket in order to send a coded message to the president’s far-right followers. It is, rather, to highlight some of the historical echoes of that phrase – ‘I don’t care’.

The echoes of which someone ought to have been aware, especially in an administration that includes – to put it mildly – several far-right sympathisers. And also to show that the attitude, the theatrical ‘not caring’, was an explicit character trait of Fascism.

Which, at the very least, seems a troubling coincidence.

Fascism lay its roots in the campaign for Italy’s late entry in the First World War, of which Mussolini was one of the leaders. It was at this time that the phrase ‘me ne frego’ – which at the time was still considered quite vulgar, along the lines of the English ‘I don’t give a fuck’ – was sung by members of the special force known as arditi (literally: ‘the daring ones’) who volunteered for the front, to signify that they didn’t care if they should lose their lives.

The arditi were disbanded after the war, but many of them volunteered in 1919 for an expedition led by the poet Gabriele D’Annunzio to capture the city of Fiume (Rijeka, in present-day Croatia) and claim it for Italy during the vacuum created by the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian empire. At the time of this occupation, former arditi also formed the backbone of the original Black Squads during the terror campaigns that began in 1919 and culminated with the ‘March on Rome’ of 1922, which completed Fascism’s swift rise to power.

This lapel pin worn by an original member of the Black Shirts was recently sold on a website devoted to military memorabilia. It is emblazoned with the words ‘Me ne frego’ underneath the original symbol of the arditi and the acronym FERT (which stands for the motto of the Royal Family). The seller calls it ‘bellissimo’.


No hidden message. Right..

Good one Ender.

I see you're up to your great sleuth work of delivering "Political Smackdowns".

Correct, Ender. Can you also debunk the meaning behind Melania's jacket for the class?

No, it's not possible to fact check intent.

>>>Pretty sure Mark didn't hack his Facebook

>>>pretty fucking weird whether or not he did, giving the timing and everything

 

The timing? Lol

I don't believe anybody here fucked with Java Dave's FB account. I certainly didn't. In fact, I think he just had a little melty. This wouldn't be the first time.

>>>pretty fucking weird whether or not he did, giving the timing and everything

 

Pretty good insight into TODs thinking.

Late to the party but if I were the restaurant owner I wouldn't kick her out.  Might make her pay up front since she is well known to be a dishonest person.  Her credit is no good, even for the 20 min it takes her to eat.

Yeah you're right Timmy, you got me there...

My point had nothing to do with troll absurdity of the attacks St. Mark was doing.

Sorry it went over your head.

It actually just came off like really derpy paranoia, TOD. A lot of what you post comes off that way. 

/r/iamverysmart

>>>>>>Sorry it went over your head.

 

Whatever you say, Pepe Silvia

^^^ Now that I got the 3 Amigos here.

 

Think you could be apart of a conversation without attacking the person?

 

I'm betting you can't...

Hope I'm wrong.

I hope TOD isn't disappointed when he finds out Pepe Silvia isn't a revolutionary civil rights leader.

Poor TOD is feeling attacked.

First off she was not kicked out for her politics. She was kicked out because she actively works for an administration whose policies the majority of this country think are despicable. For too long moderate people have ceded passion to the right wing minority who now run this country. Elections are routinely decided by people who don’t pay that much attention, but they do pick up on which side feels strongly about things. I understand this slippery slope argument but the people who kicked her out represent the majority and we need to start acting like it if we want to take back control of this country. The time for hand wringing, reasoned arguments, and looking at things from all sides is over. If the tax hike on blue states passed by the minority didn’t wake you up I don’t know what will. It’s time to be passionate about what you believe and kick the fuckers out.

 

The #resistance are very fragile people. 

Except for Nanc. She's cool.

 

>>>First off she was not kicked out for her politics. She was kicked out because she actively works for an administration whose policies the majority of this country think are despicable

 

So in other words, she was kicked out for her politics.

Well, I deleted my FB account.  Wasn't using it anyway.  

Sorry if I freaked out, but when my brother and another friend called me to alert me that someone had got into my account and was impersonating me in an attempt to scam people, it made me worry about my elderly parents and aunts and uncles who might not see the scam in the spam being sent.

My question about what constitutes fairplay here hasn't been answered.  Are there two sets of rules in place?  I have tried to follow the instructions given in the Welcome To Viva post, but if you're going to allow such blatant disregard of those, then that changes the game.

Which is it?  

and this is why we can't have nice things.

Glad the FB situation was resolved, Java Dave. 

Quick question- did you post this, or did Russian trolls take control of your philzone handle too?

Agree with that, also need to keep an eye on the salt and pepper shakers.

 

 

And a rare 1,2,3 triple doozy attack from, Mark, aetix and Timmy, impressive.

Fo6, Java Dave is in a time of personal reflection here. Please don't poke the hornets nest. He needs space to accept some things in order to grow as a zoner.

Thanks man.

>>So in other words, she was kicked out for her politics.

No this administration doesn’t have politics. They don’t believe in anything other than amassing power and wealth while attempting to destroy their enemies. She was kicked out because the people are finally waking up to the fact that an administration that is willing to cage children as a bargaining chip in order to get a wall that will do nothing for security, but will help their dear leader save face needs to be resisted at every turn. Their supporters are still welcome in society, but the people who are working for them aren’t.

It's pretty funny and telling that when issues of the possible crossing the lines of over stepping rules. 

You 3 motherfuckers (who have been timed-out) and know where the line is,

always huddle up when one of you is walking real close or over that line.

 

You want to keep on attacking and troll people and it's acceptable by the majority...

Who am I to stand in your way.

At least you got that going for you.

 

In case you forgot what this thread was about.

No Mark, that was me, and it was a fair comment as it was pertinent to the conversation.  People who enable fascists get called Quislings, because that was the name of a guy who rolled over for the Nazi's.  

The comments you and others are making about my workout regimen, the clothes I buy, what my business sells are not relevant to this discussion.  In your own words, they are trolling remarks.  Supposedly, there is a sanction for that.  Supposedly you have already been through this process.  

>>>>>You 3 motherfuckers (who have been timed-out) and know where the line is,

lol, why is everything a big conspiracy to you?

 

I forgot one thing, just to save anybody the trouble of going to Snopes.

That pic I just posted may or may not of been from a lil restaurant in Vermont.

Mark, for a few weeks you were on a very nice tangent with witty sometimes caring posting, you really are a funny interesting person when you stay in check and stay away from being such a total asshole dude. Reign it in man.

Any truth to the rumor that that is a pic of pyramidheat’s food emporium?

 

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Welcome to Trollmania 7!

First up tonight – we have a triple tag team troll match.., 

When you call me a nazi and a fascist because you disagree with my opinion that people shouldn't be thrown out of restaurants, be prepared for some pushback, Java Dave.

 

Seriously, Sixer, if Admin tells me the rules have changed, then it's game on, and I'll go full-on TLC on the Three Amigosdevil

I called you neither of those.  I said you are enabling both of those.  

Either way, own your shit.

Also, the only thing you're going full on is incel, Java Dave.

St Mark where/when did Herbal Dave call you a Fascist or Nazi?

That's already been addressed, TOD. Try reading other posts besides your own; definitely helps to keep up. 

Seriously, Dave, we seem to have entered a rule-less time on Viva.

What's that signpost up ahead?

I believe in Free Market Capitalism.  I believe it is any business owner's own business who they choose to do business with.  If their stance results in their being boycotted and them going out of business, so be it.  If their stance sparks a movement and people come out of the woodworks to patronize them, so be it.

 

Honestly its about time the left started growing a backbone. the current potus is ruining this country and enabling and encouraging racism.

Back to topic, There is a big difference between the cake and the red hen incidents, if people think otherwise or disagree you really have a debate that can't be won either way by either side.

Fog, what do think is going to happen next and how do we stop it? 

>>>>>Seriously, Sixer, if Admin tells me the rules have changed, then it's game on, and I'll go full-on TLC

 

Don’t go chasing waterfalls, Dave.

Thanks for sharing your opinion without calling me a nazi, Java Dave.

I won't bring up your involuntary celibacy, your cheap suits, or your lack of physical strength again, unless you talk shit; in which case, I'm going to troll you so hard you'll never be able to click on the Chrome browser icon again without going into a state of terminal catatonic despair. 

Enjoy your day. smiley

I know with all the paranoia happening right now it's hard.

So let me get this straight...

You attacked him, in his own thread, which had nothing to do with you, when he never once attacked you even when you tried to get him to engage you.

You attacked him personally, financially etc... it's all in this thread.

Do I got that right? or is that just paranoia??

"When you call me a nazi and a fascist when you disagree with my opinion"

-St. Mark

Still can't find where he called you those things you accuse him of.

First, we need to stop the misinformation, and SHS is a big part of it.

The POTUS just sent out another misleading twitter, calling the Red Hen dirty and in need of a paint job, when photos show an apparently well-maintained establishment.

Can somebody unplug TOD for the day? Thanks.

There you go again, Mark.  Keep talking shit, the clock's ticking.

If you have proven that they are liars, what do you do next? 

Speedballs?

Atiexism, fake news, trolling, ass-kissing, hacking accusations - this thread does have it all.

Strong work from all involved. Thank you.

Dave, you should try and date that lady who called the cops on the girl selling water.  You guys might hit it off.

>>>the clock's ticking

 

You gonna throw me out before I order my chicken, Java Dave?

Slacker, they are trying to have a nazi rally like they had in charlottesville here in DC. If i ran the local BLM group i'd rally the same day. Guaranteed it would be 3 to 1 advantage to BLM.

Everyone needs to register to vote and then vote, you can bet your ass all the trumpers are registered, if everyone registers we will win back decency and respect to this great country. No fking way are the trumpers the majority.

Did you order a chicken burrito with green chili, Mark?

I'm a barbacoa guy, Sixxy.

I'm a taco guy, Guy.

Corn or flour tortillas, Six? This is important.

I won't bring up your involuntary celibacy, your cheap suits, or your lack of physical strength again, unless you talk shit; in which case, I'm going to troll you so hard you'll never be able to click on the Chrome browser icon again without going into a state of terminal catatonic despair.>>>

Mark, this is not your best work, you can do and be better.

Corn. It ain't no taco in a flour tortilla, Señor.

Well done, Six. I didn't realize you even had tacos in VT, let alone understand the culinary nuances of the corn tortilla. I'm impressed.

 

>>>>>>the clock's ticking

 

Don't worry Dave.  Admin received your crybaby tattle tale emails.  I received an email asking me to try not to upset fragile Zoners.  

Guess you won’t have to go all Left Eye Lopez on me.

 

Gonna go do some disc golf.

Thank you, Mark.

Mexican food is a favorite of mine. Unfortunately, no one here who runs a "Mexican" restaurant can do better than a 4 on a scale of 1-10 except a lone taqueria in Waitsfield. They score a 6 maybe a 7.

Therefore - I have had to learn how to make good Mexican food myself. I do alright - I'm no expert - but I do know a taco is served on a corn tortilla.

Hoovs - you play the disc golf?

Oh no.  I think I know the person who hacked Dave's FB account. Didn't think they would actually pull it off. Ha ha ha.

J6va crybaby can't handle his business so he cries to admin. Boo hoo....

what does t.o.d. refer to?

>>>>>I have had to learn how to make good Mexican food myself.

 

In my house we call that Mexicanish food.  Made a lot of it when we were in the Poconos.

Exactly - Mexicanis6.

>>> what does t.o.d. refer to?

That One Dude

 >> I received an email asking me to try not to upset fragile Zoners

 

I also received an email, and have agreed to be more sensitive to the delicate sensibilities of certain zoners moving forward. 

maybe admin can put a broken egg icon adjacent to fragile zoners handles ?

Hmm...maybe admin could also put a feminine hygiene product icon next to other zoner's handles?

How do you like your eggs? Broken.

I prefer soft flour tortilla tacos over corn tortillas, which tend to fall apart and make a mess. I also feel corn tortillas overpower the flavors of the filling. JMO.

Speaking of a mess, you all should make a mess of Chili Colorado using this recipe. It's ah-fucking-mazing. Serve with soft flour tortillas, or corn if you swing that way..not that there's anything wrong with that. 

https://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/groat-ricks-chili-colorado

 

This should be a posted daily on every message board:

 

'El Guapo, I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education, but could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?'

 

There are people who know how to prepare corn tortillas that do not fall apart.

that's why you get 2 corn torts per taco...

I have a tortilla press.  Homemade corn tortillas are pretty darn good.

The history of the flour tortilla is fascinating.

The Jewish refugees from the Inquisition, in Little Spain (Mexico), couldn't eat corn because it wasn't kosher. They started making them from flour. The Christians had a tradition of eating unleavened flour, the sacrament, and picked up the idea of flour tortillas, which they liked better than corn.

And history was made...

IKR, jonas. There's a plethora of misunderstandings to be sidestepped.

I'm sure homemade tortillas are delicious, Timmy!

Ha Ha, mark can dish but not take. He doesn't troll, nooooooooo...

queue watson the dirt sucker 

>> https://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/article/groat-ricks-chili-colorado

I still make this recipe all the time. I bought a sage plant because of it. Never get tired of it.

2 torts for Turts, please.

 

>>Homemade corn tortillas are pretty darn good.

When I went to Mexico last fall, we hung out with two Mexican women one afternoon as they made a shitload of corn tortillas. Very fun afternoon.

Pinatas!  

That chili Colorado is one of the best recipes out there.   

 

Sweaters!

It really is the best recipe of all time, Ender & Jonas. 

I prefer soft flour tortilla tacos over corn tortillas, which tend to fall apart and make a mess. I also feel corn tortillas overpower the flavors of the filling. JMO.>>>

Totally agree with this.

Hefe had the sweater vest!!  Blahhhh.. I gotta watch that again soon.  

 

 

Hi Dise smiley

Double corn tortillas is key. 

Also want to add that I'm in favor of the broken eggshell icon for the fragile  zoners and a doberman wearing aviators and smoking a blunt icon for the cool zoners.

I think it would clear up a lot of confusion.

Yeah, it's good stuff. Hard to pick out a favorite scene!

 

 

 

2 tortillas for one taco? How do you taste anything else?

Hi Mark :) 

We'll have to disagree re: tortillas and tacos. That said, enchiladas MUST be made with corn tortillas. BY LAW!!!

Is corn too spicy for Vermonters?  Out here the stuff that goes in a taco has way more flavor than the corn tortilla(s).

The corn sabor is part of the taco experience, BK.

>>>That said, enchiladas MUST be made with corn tortillas. BY LAW!!!

 

That is a fact, darlin'. Awesome to see you zoning, btw 

If the tortillas are properly cooked before making the taco they usually don’t fall apart with one tortilla.

In the absence of icons - we could just treat everyone decently.

You know with "respect, civility and keep it kind".

Yeah, but doubling up has to muck with the ratios. It's a lot of tortilla per bite.

That said, Mexican food here sucks ass. Generally, it doesn't matter what you order, it all looks and tastes the same. 

>>Is corn too spicy for Vermonters? Out here the stuff that goes in a taco has way more flavor than the corn tortilla(s).

Mr. Hoover, if you re-read the thread carefully - you'll see that it was a Californian, not a Vermonter, who said that corn tortillas over-power the flavors of the filling.

>> the tortillas are properly cooked before making the taco they usually don’t fall apart with one tortilla.

On that - you and I agree, Mr. Hoover.

Fried tacos are an exception to my flour over corn preference. Fried tacos are the point of no return, I don't care if they fall apart since in all likelihood there will be red grease running down my arm anyhow.

We're lucky to live in a place with a pretty strong Hispanic community, so the Mexican food in Denver is pretty good.

I will concede it's no Southern California.

This is true, Mr. Lion.

>>>>>>Mr. Hoover, if you re-read the thread carefully - you'll see that it was a Californian, not a Vermonter, who said that corn tortillas over-power the flavors of the filling.

 

Thanks 6, I did read that post.  I wasn’t responding to that post though.  I was responding to BK.  That’s why I quoted his post before responding.

They have Chili's restaurants in So-Cal too, Mark cheeky

I totally get the flavor, but ratio and mouth-feel are also important. Double corn tortillas would kill it for me.

>>That’s why I quoted his post before responding.

You did?

Lol Dise. Do they allow Chipotle to dot every corner of the landscape like we do here?

Taco Pron

 

tacopron.jpg

Mark, pretty much. There's one Chipotle in this town, but about 30ish authentic Mexican places to compete. I don't know how the Gringo Mex chains stay in business.

Shit, those look delectable!

There is only one Chipotle and two Chilis in the entire state of Vermont. That's way more than enough.

Tacos are amazing. 

That's why I'm a taco guy, Guy.

This has been a pretty solid thread hijacking, gang.

Tacos fucking ROCK.

Some of our most civil and respectful work, for sure.

yes Nice to see you posting too, Mark. I hope you're having a bitchen' summer! 

The tortillas at our local taqueria are soft and thin corn ones. They don't fall apart, but they do give you two because they are thin and there wouldn't be enough corn taste with just one.

Mr. Surfdead likes to taste the corn. Yes!

>>>>You did?

 

guess not.  Either way I saw Dises post but my question was pretty clearly for Brian.  Sorry you take issue with it.  I’m unfamiliar with Vermont style tacos.  I’m assuming they’re pretty limp and maybe even called acos because of the lack of T.  Maybe not.

Lol

I didn't go "crying to Admin", I asked them to clarify their position on trolling.  They did that, and I presume you got the message.  I'm a lot thicker-skinned than you think, I just don't think it's fair to let one side play with a different set of rules.

 

 

I "took issue" with it? Really? Hmm...are you sure?

Mr. Hoover, is there anything I can do to help you through the confusing afternoon you appear to be having?

This post has a double corn tortilla.

Where do you guys rank the chili relleno in the pantheon of Mexican food?

Underrated/overrated?

Let me put it this way: I don't think I've had a really good corn tortilla taco here. I've had ones that are supposed to be good, but they suck.

Agree with BK and Hoover. If you have the right corn tortilla (not too thin), and do it right, there is no need for two.

The problem is, I want to put so much in there that the small corn tortillas are Too small.

Chicken/steak

Cheese

Black beans

Avo or guac

Sour cream

Salsa and/or jalapenos

Cilantro

----I live in CA, and thankfully there are few places close by that know what they're doing, 

so they can make them for me when I don't want to. (And they do a better carne asada than I can).

 

PS-IT'S NOT GUACAMOLE IF YOU HAVE TO SERVE IT IN A SQUIRT BOTTLE!

 

 

 

Maybe if she had ordered the Soul Taco, this whole fiasco could have been avoided.

ok I need to log out and cool off. 

 

(who am I kidding? I'm hitting the taco truck for lunch)

one corn tortilla ftw.

flour for my mexicanish/sloppy american tacos. like a hard shell corn then wrapped in a flour tortilla, taco bell style. delicious.

agree w/ hoover about the properly made tortilla being sufficient enough-the taqueria has to do the nixtamalization method tho, nobody does that where i am from-i wonder if that is more the style out west? soaking the corn in lime water and alkaline solution, makes the best tortillas of course.   

 

>chili relleno

Ehh... I like them better when I make them myself.  I make a bastardized version with rice, meat & cheese.  I prefer just gutting a pablano - stuffing it with garlic, pineapple, onions and cilantro(lime and other spices) and throwing it on the grill. It's a great side for a skirt or flank steak.

 

DB2D8FF2-701D-4C4D-ABDE-A3937322C23E.jpegSpeaking of taco trucks we’ve got one of the worlds largest taco events coming up here in Fresno.

 

>>>> I prefer just gutting a pablano - stuffing it with garlic, pineapple, onions and cilantro(lime and other spices) and throwing it on the grill. It's a great side for a skirt or flank steak.

Damn Jonas, that sounds pretty good. 

All of the good taco places in Cabo have corn tortillas, never really had a bad one, on occasion they do fall apart. at some restaurants there they ask you, flour or corn, with a choice i have flour but don't complain if they bring corn. Al pastor is most excellent on corn, not sure if it would be as good on flour..

 

flour for my mexicanish/sloppy american tacos. like a hard shell corn then wrapped in a flour tortilla, taco bell style. delicious.>>>>>>>>

yep, like the double decker taco supreme only much better.

>>>>> I prefer just gutting a pablano - stuffing it with garlic, pineapple, onions and cilantro(lime and other spices)

 

I think I’ll try that but add a little goat cheese.  Mmmmmmmm

these are my people is south philly-only people in philadelphia practicing the nixtamalization. 

they're also righteous people and the wife in the operation crossed the border twice-very outspoken illegal immigrant working and advocating for people like her-at the same time making some of the most authentic tacos in the country-straight up lamb barbacoa. fire. 

>>Speaking of taco trucks we’ve got one of the worlds largest taco events coming up here in Fresno.

I take issue with this.

lol

another darn double corn tortilla.

We're lucky to live in a place with a pretty strong Hispanic community, so the Mexican food in Denver is pretty good.

When I lived in Denver, La Loma, the original location on W26th was across the street from my office. Knew it was the right place to eat Mexican when I crossed the threshold into that wonderful smoky smell. Is the new location still as good?

As for the strong hispanic community, I have to agree. Interestingly enough, during my time in Denver, the only bagel I found that was worth a damn was sold smack in the middle of one of the hispanic envlaves.  

Denver also provided me with one of the funniest moments I ever saw on TV. After I got out of the shower in the hotel on my first day in Denver, I had the local network news on in an attempt to get some of the pulse of the city that was to be my home. While the traffic report was being done, they were showing a traffic camera focused on The Mousetrap area. While giving the report, a van lost control and went off the road into the grassy median. The broadcast team noticed and started making comments. As they were, the doors opened up and at least 10 people exited the vehicle and started running towards one of the hispanic areas with extreme vigor. The broadcast team started cracking jokes once they realized nobody was hurt. 

La Loma is defintely still good, Tony. Denver institution, for sure.

What about Casa Bonita?

I'm planning on taking my daughter to Casa Bonita at some point. It's a rite of passage for Colorado kids, for sure. We'll probably eat dinner before we go, and she can just run around Black Bart's Cave and watch the cliff divers.

I don't think a taco on flour tortilla is even an option around here.  

 I can't go into most authentic taquerias because everything is cooked in lard. Or they cook the rice in chicken broth. I know, Whomp Whomp..

>>>>I can't go into most authentic taquerias because everything is cooked in lard. Or they cook the rice in chicken broth.

Yep.  I always have to ask if they put "manteca en los frijoles refritos" or "pollo en el arroz."   However, they usually also have whole beans with no pollo and I often end up getting a side of whole beans and a couple of tortillas and salsa picante when eating at some authentic places.    Makes for an inexpensive dinner.    Funny, the only Mexican place I attempted to eat at where they had absolutely zero vegan options (outside Mexico) was in Denver.  I think they even fried the tortilla chips in lard. 

you guys should just eat tacos in santa cruz...

Denver's most famous vegetarian (Dan Landes) recently decamped and moved his family down to Mexico.

Watercourse Foods and his other spot are still open, but under new ownership.

We had the Steamer Lane Supply fresh fish tacos last time we were in Santa Cruz. 

Two tortillas each. One would get too wet and rip.

I'm STARVING ! There Are Fewer and Fewer Places That Make Full Size Hard Shell Tacos around me ! I Know One Place that I Like = I Am Going There Tomorrow ! street tacos are Everywhere though.....

Hard tacos are ok but street tacos are the best. We had carne asada yesterday. Two tortillas. One would have split from all the juice.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Monday on the House floor that he “strongly” disagrees “with those who advocate harassing folks who disagree with you.”

“No one should call for the harassment of political opponents,” he said.

When discussing the Red Hen incident on CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) said he thinks the Virginia restaurant owner should have served Sanders.

Cummings did not mention Waters specifically but discussed his disapproval for the current incivility in politics.

“This tone is horrible. But again, I think President Trump has created this,” Cummings said. “Since he became president and even before, he has basically given people license to state things that are ugly.”

I like Jack in the Box tacos.

In Mexico, there is not an animal part known to man that doesn't go into tacos.  Hard to find vegetarian street tacos down that way.

taco stand.jpg

In Portland, by contrast, we have places like the Cruz Room, which bills itself as a "taco lab" and they have all sorts of crazy tacos, including my favorite called the "twice baked" which features breaded, fried vegan mac & cheese topped with a sriracha slaw.   They always give you two tortillas with each taco, which makes it easy to share and mix it up:

http://cruzroom.com/

 

There’s a truck down the street from me that does Ojo (eyeball) tacos.  They taste good but are too wet/juicy.

^ they taste good , but they "look" funny....

This is one of the better taco threads we've had in a while.

I’ve got a new message today. Fuck all of you Trump lovers. I’m not taking the high road and whoever thinks people like me are the problem can get bent as well. 

Have a good day. 

 She Should've Just Ordered The Al Pastor Tacos.

lol Surfy

>>>>>>and whoever thinks people like me are the problem can get bent as well. 

 

Italians too.

^^^ correct. and Chinese tourists. 

>>> I’ve got a new message today. Fuck all of you Trump lovers. I’m not taking the high road and whoever thinks people like me are the problem can get bent as well.

 

They bring their hate right up to the point that you use their tactics against them, then they turn tail, turtle and then cry about civility.

They'll call you a "liberal leftist".

They'll try to assassinate your character.

They'll always try to be the loudest mouth in the room.

Until you say this is unacceptable and enough is enough.

 

Here's to hoping we get a Taco Truck on every corner.

well, I guess everyone knows where my little town in Virginia is now lol! The Red Hen is a block away from my mom's apartment. The media has become a big pain in the ass the last few days. I am steering clear of downtown lol

my thoughts are this... the golden rule applies to everyone.. if you are rude, racist, disrespectful to others and side with a group of people who hold the same values, then you can expect the same treatment back.. that said, if you own a business, good practice serves all unless a customer is unruly and causing a serious problem. this is causing some serious backlash for our local businesses ~ many of them distancing themselves from the Red Hen. our town brings in quite a bit of tourism and we don't have a whole lot of big chain stores. this could hurt our town and many of my friends' local businesses.. it makes me sad how one administration can divide a country into so much hate.. it seems we've gone back in time 50 years.. i only hope that people wake up and our country can bounce back after this nightmare leaves the white house..

while many businesses are posting on social media that they do not support or agree with Red Hen, i absolutely love Blue Phoenix's response:

 

Blue Phoenix Cafe & Market

Happy Monday!

In light of our tumultuous weekend, there are some points that I feel are imperative to clarify.

1. We have received numerous calls and messages asking if we serve Republicans. Of course we do! We believe strongly in feeding everyone, but we do not feed hate, violence, or deceit. If an individual threatens the well-being of our customers, staff, or the safe, welcoming, community space that we work so hard to nurture here, then that individual will be asked to leave.
2. I have long thought that food is a social medium, capable of bringing together people from diverse places and perspectives to join in fellowship and conversation. Sitting down together and building community sometimes requires a conscious decision to trust one another (until and unless given a compelling reason not to) and this is what I am challenging all of us to do. Sharing a place at the table gives us space to acknowledge our differences with kindness and recognition of our shared humanity.
3. The hateful speech, threats, and actions that have been perpetrated against our community are the sole responsibility of the perpetrators themselves. That burden does not belong to the staff or owners of The Red Hen. If you believe in personal responsibility as firmly as I do, then it is up to all of us to respond with integrity to this toxic outpouring and hold these individuals accountable for the harm that they deliberately inflict on our neighbors and community.
4. We continue to stand in support of The Red Hen because we support the rights of small businesses to protect their staff, customers, and the values that define those relationships.

Thank you to everyone who has (and no doubt will) reach out with comments and concerns. I look forward to participating with you in this on-going conversation.

With Peace and Blessings,
Amenie

I also received an email, and have agreed to be more sensitive to the delicate sensibilities of certain zoners moving forward. <<<<

Fuck you.  It's not about "delicate sensibilities", it's about not being a dick, and not trolling.  Those are (supposedly) the groundrules here.  I'm not the one getting warnings and time-outs.

As you, and apparently Hoover too, received an email telling you to quit your infantile behavior, you were clearly in the wrong.  Instead of apologizing, you keep up with the misinformation and try to take the thread in another direction, all very Trump-like.

It's not like the both of you haven't been warned before.   

dave, you might want to try the coffee and cannabis thing again...

4.1

This is a taco thread now, Java Dave.

There's no need to be angry here.

I only took a year off the cannabis, Turtle.  That ended last Fall.  I don't really see picking up a coffee habit again.

I know these guys are your friends, but they are in the wrong.  Fuck 'em.

I hear your calls for civility Turtle, but you weren't the one getting attacked.

 

You keep kicking a sleeping dog, eventually it'll bite you.

Just sayin'

No, Mark, it is a thread about civility, and when exceptions to being civil are appropriate.  

 

Scarlet, thanks for the on the ground insight.  This has got to be the biggest thing to happen in Lexington in a long while.

She should have ordered Cream Puffs and Skittles..

>>>>>> I'm not the one getting warnings and time-outs.

 

No, you’re the one writing admin asking for them to be handed out, and starting his own birthday threads.

Pretty sure this thread is about tacos.

And again with the trolling.

I didn't ask Admin to do anything other than clarify their position on trolling.  

Why you are still here allowed to continue that is their business.

Their web site, their groundrules, their ability or inability to enforce them.

Maybe Dave would be more comfortable if we discussed tortas instead.

>>>>>>And again with the trolling.

 

You’re not being trolled now Dave.  You sent a whiny email to admin.  Are we supposed to pretend it didn’t happen?  Sorry if you’re just realizing it’s a bad look.

>> And again with the trolling.

Dude you aren't new here! The trolling has always been here. If you like PZ, you like trolling and vice versa. 

Maybe pretend you have Hep-C and hit up that forum? Those guys play nice.

Dave, who bumped the thread this morning with a fuck you message?

 

Oh, that was you.

Just be calm, Java Dave. This is a super chill torta thread; there's no reason for anger or contention here. 

It's not a bad look, it's asking Admin if their mission statement means anything.

I play by the rules.  You don't.  There should be consequences.  There aren't.  Is it any wonder the offensive behavior continues?

That's a recipe for spoiled children.

 

Timmy Hoover - 

You say he emailed admin asking them to be handed out?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Admin doesn't see that St. Mark attacked him personally, financially, his employment, employees and just came a lil short of doxxing him?

Get the fuck outta here.

This is Herbal Daves thread...

I know it pains you because of the "high post count".

Anymore of your shit is just another attempt to Troll.

 

>>>>>Are you fucking kidding me?

No.  I’m not.  Did you miss his post where he said he emailed admin?

>>>It's not a bad look

 

It's a really bad look, actually.

People don't respect whiners. 

It’s a community TOD and the thread belongs to all of us.

 

Dave might even get a Zoney for his performance here.

Yep, sure did, Timmy, because I'm not going to let some condescending milquetoast comment slide.  That happens too often.  You count on it.  This is one of those instances where an exception to civility is appropriate. You talk about owning your shit a lot, but you just try to deflect.  You're a hypocrite.

He said he emailed admin asking for clarification on the rules of ingagement.

Go read it, it's up there.

Post the email.  I’m sure it’s not whiny at all.

 

Also if we want to get nit picky you violated the Viva rules in post 8 of this thread with your comments body shaming Sarah Sanders.

Even Lance called the whine...

>> Sarah is a big girl and can handle that.

I just got this pun 200 posts late.

Posting the email will help clear a lot of things up.

St. Mark (the lion)

"This has been a pretty solid thread hijacking, gang."

 

That's up there too Timmy^^^

 

Walk, talks, smells like a Troll.

 

Is this going to be like when you skipped out on meeting Jenn so she could video you doing push-ups and then laid low for a few months?

 

Also, are you making reading this thread mandatory for your employees, so they can agree you’re being mistreated on the internet?

I enjoyed Mark's thoughtful contributions to the thread topic. The knee-jerk nazi accusations and hostile tone directed at posters offering reasonable and civil counterpoints to the topic of discussion are what killed the thread, not the "trolling" with tacos. JMO Tacos rule

As stated a long time ago, when I was doing the push-up regimen, I could care less if you believe that I did them.  I was doing them for my own benefit, not yours.  That you are still hung up on them is just embarrassing.  

As for work, we usually just discuss music.  The incident at the Red Hen came up in discussion.  I read a few of the posts in the beginning of the thread out loud.  My employee responded that he felt Mark's comments were off base.  They don't read the Zone.  

 

Here's what YOU agreed to signing up on Viva.

anything that might affect Vivalazone.com/.org, Phil Lesh, his family or ‘Phriends’, or ‘ADMIN’ adversely or reflect negatively on our goodwill, name or reputation, or cause duress, distress or discomfort to us or anyone else.

 

This does include Herbal Dave right?

You said you would meet in the park pre show and anyone who wanted to watch could.  Jenn said she might go and you wimped out.

TOD your posts are causing me discomfort.  Please stop.

 

FYI nobody has the moral high ground here.  Not you, not me, not Mark, not Dave.  But keep up the righteous indignation. 

Does anybody else find it ironic that TOD and Java Dave's aggressive insistence on the rules is exactly the position the Trump admin has taken on their heinous boarder policy?

They’re gonna beat you up over the typo in that post; but yes, the irony is as thick as shoulder hair.

 

I’ve got a few errands to run.  I’ll check back to read the email Dave sent admin later.

 

Have fun Zoners and save me a few tacos.

Timmy were you the zoner who started a thread suggesting I'd been banned when I'd taken some me time away from the zone, or was that Java Dave? I got a few emails about it, checked the zone and no one had posted on the thread besides the O/P. Weird that someone I barely know on the zone would take the time to call me out here when they thought I couldn't respond. Anyhow, no harm done. I just thought it was rather chickenshit.

In the words of Shaggy “it wasn’t me”.  Dave, was that you?  Was it on Viva or Philzone?

Bucky Badger is making solid accurate contributions here, except for the Chinese tourists part.

Pretty sure it was Viva, Timmy. Sometimes I find it boring and wander off to live life in 3D, ya know?

I utilized the edit window to fix some of the typos. Having issues with my autocorrect to text on the zone for some reason.

Gotta be airtight around here. No room for typos when the future of thesess chilrrens is at stake.

>>> TOD your posts are causing me discomfort.

Timmy - 

Did I attack you personally, financially, your employment or your well being?

Because that's what St. Mark did to Herbal Dave.

 

Now you're defending and being 100% involved with it.

So you're continuing to Troll.

 

Is that clear enough for you?

I didn't wimp out, Timmy.  I had stopped doing push-ups by the time we hit those Portland shows.  Since you're so hung up on it, I topped out at 582 consecutive push-ups.  My family can attest to some of that, although no one witnessed anything beyond 300.  It was a daily grind, and was a good physical and mental challenge.  My parents came for a month-long visit in early December, and I gave up the workout because there wasn't enough time in the day between my responsibilities to my folks and my business.  After they left, I was  having a hard time with my left shoulder.  Probably from doing 500+ push ups a day for weeks on end.  I changed my workout.  

>>>>>>>>Timmy - Did I attack you personally, financially, your employment or your well being

 

Yes, you attacked me personally, and I have been attacked about my employment and well being here for the better part of15 years.

 

Never once wrote a whiny email to Admin though.

>>>>I didn't wimp out, Timmy.  I had stopped doing push-ups by the time we hit those Portland shows.  Since you're so hung up on it, I topped out at 582 consecutive push-ups.  My family can attest to some of that, although no one witnessed anything beyond 300.  It was a daily grind, and was a good physical and mental challenge.  My parents came for a month-long visit in early December, and I gave up the workout because there wasn't enough time in the day between my responsibilities to my folks and my business.  After they left, I was  having a hard time with my left shoulder.  Probably from doing 500+ push ups a day for weeks on end.  I changed my workout.  <<<

Anyhow, I just finished this morning's set, and threw one more on for Uncle Turtle.  So that's 536, and barring getting sick, I should easily be well-past 600 by P-town TFB.  If anyone wants to set up a 9:00 a.m. meet up at the Gasworks Park lookout point over Lake Union, I'd be glad to meet up and do a set for you there.

 jengc237 on Friday, October 27, 2017 – 01:58 pm

I guess I could take one for the team. Record and post it. ;)

 

After Jenn agreed to meet you there you quit posting in the thread and disappeared from the zone for months.

 

Is any part of that incorrect?

 

http://vivalazone.org/other-stuff/marijuana-and-sex

It wasn't me, Dise.  

I sent a message to Admin using the contact tab on this page.  I didn't use email.  I don't have a copy of what I sent them, but the jist of it was pointing out that Mark was actively and brazenly trolling me, and inquiring if their position had changed regarding trolling.  If they have a copy of what I sent, I don't care if they post it.  It would actually be nice to hear Admin's input on all of this.  

 

I know I don't pass the dress code , nor do have the qualifications to start a thread, but I totally agree with Dave and TOD.  How Sherlock an Watson get away with their shit is beyond me. Its also funny how timmytimmeh doesnt see how snark is playing him. Dance puppet! Banned, emails, and still feel superior. I guess you think its funny?   Do you like being judged?

  Also- I would absolutely smack the taco out of Fuckabees hand.

 

>>>Because that's what St. Mark did to Herbal Dave.

 

I'm a pretty ruthless bastard when I counter-troll.

Pretty sure I'm at least partially responsible for a zoner quitting his job, selling all his belongings, joining a cult, and eventually becoming an Uber driver in San Francisco.

 but the jist of it was pointing out that Mark was actively and brazenly trolling me

 

Doesnt sound whiny at all

Whatevs, Hoover.  I know what I did, and don't care if you believe me or don't.

I believe you, Timmy. Sorry to bring up past BS, I guess it was all this talk about trolling etc that jogged my spotty memory. I should've just searched viva before making the accusation towards you, but I find the search function here to be a PITA. My bad :(

Yeah you don't care this much:

 

>>>>I didn't wimp out, Timmy.  I had stopped doing push-ups by the time we hit those Portland shows.  Since you're so hung up on it, I topped out at 582 consecutive push-ups.  My family can attest to some of that, although no one witnessed anything beyond 300.  It was a daily grind, and was a good physical and mental challenge.  My parents came for a month-long visit in early December, and I gave up the workout because there wasn't enough time in the day between my responsibilities to my folks and my business.  After they left, I was  having a hard time with my left shoulder.  Probably from doing 500+ push ups a day for weeks on end.  I changed my workout.  <<<

 

If you don't care why did you wake up and bump the thread with the fuck you post?  

 

None of this are the actions of someone who doesn't care.  I'm sorry you're so worked up.  It's funny to read but I do sincerely hope you're okay.

>>>>>>I believe you, Timmy. Sorry to bring up past BS

 

No sweat.  We're cool.

 

>>>>>but I find the search function here to be a PITA.

 

Me too.  I couldn't find it either.

If you don't care why did you wake up and bump the thread with the fuck you post? <<<<

 

 

Because I cared about contesting the intimation that the warnings you and Mark received were about "delicate sensibilities" when they were sent to remind you (once again) what the ground rules of engagement (allegedly) are here.

6A03A638-A1DF-43C5-A041-D5D98FAB8DE3.png

 

I do sincerely hope you're okay.<<<<

Thanks.  Same to you.

Hey Gang,

Looks like Timmy has a damn good case

of the Mexicali Blues ...once again.

Lol

 

 

 

>>>>>>>Thanks.  Same to you.

 

Cool, that wasn't so hard for either of us, huh?  I imagine TOD might struggle with it a bit.  

 

Let's blame this whole mess on politics and move on.

 

RR6, we've reached the healing portion of this thread.  Go back to socking at 6arbage zone.

This is really Trump's fault, guys. Let's all agree to be better zoners moving forward.

Timmy, that's your game little buckaroo.

Don't you have some chores to do.

Lol

Double taco ...

Lol

Hey RRG, I hope you, Mark, Dise, Todd, Timmy, Fly, Turtle, Ateix and anyone left still scrolling through this is not only doing okay, but that each and everyone of you has a most excellent day.  

Enjoy every taco.

>>>>>Timmy, that's your game little buckaroo.

 

Sorry.  I rarely even peek in there to read and have no socks there.

 

>>>>>>>Don't you have some chores to do.

 

Yeah, but it's pretty easy to post here while doing them.  Got some Dad stuff to do with the kids.  Swim lessons later.  Being a good father and being there for your kids is a fulltime job but I still manage to do some zoning.

 

What are you up to today?

I'm guessing that this is a taco that Sarah Sanders will not be eating?

pinktaco.jpeg

Thanks, Java Dave.

I'll definitely focus on being more considerate of your feelers and the Viva posting rules the next time you decide to call me a nazi sympathizer. 

Thanks Dave,

Wishing you well also.

Ignore the idiots ..

There is no winning with the douche crew.

Too much favoritism.

Same as it ever was...

 

 

Si!  Enjoy EVERY taco. cheeky

Shitty haikus from

butthurt 6arba6ezoners are 

always fun to read.

This thread needs beer to go with the tacos. 

...HENDRIX (2).jpg

Hi Dreadbeard

butthurt 6arba6ezoners are>>

Yes dreadbeard yes.

 

 

 

 

How about hot sauce?

Cholula is our normal go to.

socks, socks, socks all over - what a mess...not a good look and definitely cringe worthy...

Mark, you, or anyone else here really, is more than welcome to drop in for a round of drinks on me and give me all the shit you want to in person. 

It's just that here, we're not supposed to do that.  Letting you off the hook for doing that, while I had to stand pat was a little like fighting an opponent who gets to use both arms while you've got one tied behind your back. 

This thread (other than, fuck yeah, tacos!) is about what is acceptable in a given situation and the balance between civility and civil disobedience. 

 

Anyone ever stay at Trumps hotel in Vegas?

Im thinking about a Vegas trip, never been there.

Its a toss up between Bayahibe, DR or Vegas.

 

>>>>It's just that here, we're not supposed to do that.  

 

Why don't you stand up for Thom? Guy gets shit on every time he posts something political. Liberal zoners attack him and his family personally all the time.

Who's tying your arms, Java Dave? I won't send emails to admin asking for "clarification" about anything, promise. 

I've agreed not to troll you, and I've held up my end of the bargain. You continuing to whine at me makes me think you aren't ready to move on. What's the hold up?

^^True,  its very difficult having opposing views on this DBMB.

Plenty of peeps with TDS.

 

I'm actually becoming convinced that TDS is an actual thing. No shit.

I reread this thread just in case I was mistaken about who broke the code of conduct here first and this post seems to be the break from people having civil discourse regarding the topic. 

 Herbal Dave on Sunday, June 24, 2018 – 10:55 am

Sorry, if you aren't okay with drawing a line against fascism, you are enabling it to fester and grow.  Maybe if a few more Germans had stepped up and resisted the Nazis rise to power, the Holocaust wouldn't  have happened. 

No one answered my question.  What's wrong with being intolerant of hatred, lies and, yes, fascism?

You have to draw a line in the sand somewhere, otherwise you are just spineless and complicit.

 

I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you were generalizing a bit but then you followed up with:

 

Herbal Dave on Sunday, June 24, 2018 – 11:22 am

St. Mark Quisling.

 

So how were you "sitting pat" when you threw the first blows? It seems pretty ridiculous to me to accuse people of being nazi sympathizers/enablers then get butthurt and call in admin when they stand up for themselves. You seem like a nice guy but if you're going to drop troll bait all over the place, blow back is fair play . Make no mistake, since the inception of the internet, implying people who disagree with you in a civil conversation are in some way nazis is the epitome of troll bait, see Goodwin's Law.

 

 

 

I had to look up TDS. Seems real. It took me a long time to realize that people on this board actually think genocide is around the corner. They aren't using it as a metaphor or something.

I'm just saying that the rules are stated here, and that by trying to follow them while others were flaunting them with no repercussion was making for an unfair playing field.    I choose to post here because I like the guidelines posted.  I am trying to follow them.  If the place devolves into something it's not advertised as I'm not interested.  As for you personally, no, I have no grudge or beef I'm holding.  I truly wish you well and hope you can find other ways to respond when someone challenges your convictions.

As for Thom's case, Slack, I stay on the sidelines on those threads.  He's a grown adult and knows how to handle his own business.

The Central Scrutinizer just doing his job...loading is in the white zones only....

You weren't following the rules though, Dave. It was an interesting conversation until the personal attacks were whipped out, and you were the poster who got that ball rolling.

You like to use that word "butthurt" alot, Dise.

Mark said something I disagreed with.   I called him out on it.  I wasn't trolling him, I was calling a spade a spade.  If you want to talk butthurt, look at his reaction.  He started getting into personal stuff that had nothing to do with the discussion.

I'm ready to let it all go as a learning experience for everyone.   It's nice you're trying to stand up for your friend, I get that, but please. 

I used it once on this thread, I guess that counts as "a lot" to you. lol.

Dude you flat out called him Quisling, what planet do you post from where that isn't deeply offensive? Mark doesn't need me to stand up for him, I'm commenting on your posts. The ones you typed out. 

 

I'm not really taking sides here, just commenting on what's time stamped in black and white. I wish we could all just have a taco and maybe a beer.

This is not going well for you, Java Dave.

Maybe take a break from making an ass of yourself any further, lick your wounds, and come back a better zoner.

Big mean St. Mark won't hurt you anymore, I promise.

Ha ha ha..lol lol lol.  

What a pathetic and insufferable little bitch.  Very embarrassing behavior JD. Maybe a 30 day self ban would be best for everyone. 

 

Quisling rolled over for fascists.  The analogy was apropos.

Do you not support the Red Hen's right to refuse service to whoever they choose?  

Saying that their action was idiotic, or wrong, seemed to me to negate their right to do just that.  

 

People can't even agree on tacos here.

I am banning you from this thread JD.   You're not allowed to post on it anymore. 

That's a compassionate gesture from JR.

Jesus, Java Dave. This is well past sad. 

taco

sock-o

in a tangine from Morocco

sparkle glow

to and fro

I like a good shoe

I'm ready to let it all go as a learning experience for everyone.  >>

Well put Dave, now are you willing to let it go and make a comment on tacos or hot sauce.

 

There is too much whining going on about Javas whining. Whining about whining is still whining.

blah, blah, blah

Fog that's nice

but don't you know

I sure have the better flow

Six, are you writing to the melody of Billy Joel's 1989 pop classic 'We Didn't Start The Fire'?

Frankly, I can't stand SHS and was all for it until I read and considered Mark, Pyramid, and Saddler's posts. I agree with them after they challenged my knee-jerk reaction to the initial story which was pretty much "fuck her and the administration". If we can't be better than the opposition than we are just as bad as they are. Scarlet's post nailed it down further. Giving the trumpers more ammo resulted in blow back that's hurting her community.

Now I'm enjoying a cold beer and double posting. 

I wasn't, Mark - but I guess it works.

>>>one administration can divide a country into so much hate<<<

This administration didn't divide a country into so much hate, it exposed a country divided by so much hate. 

That's Trump's gift to us all.

Back to the general hate thread now.

No one hates tacos, Lance.

Hold on, just to be fair here..

 

Mark did this

Waaa waaaaaaaaa waaa, snifle

Timmy did that

WaaaaaaaaaaaaaaWAAAAA WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Whine, email admin, whine

Blah, Blah, Blah...

>>>If we can't be better than the opposition than we are just as bad as they are. 

 

Exactly. Being reactionary is exactly the look Trump and his supporters want to hang on the reasonable voters who oppose his policies. 

You think Sander's didn't know how effective that tweet about getting kicked out of a restaurant would be?

Chess, friends. Not checkers.

Exactly. Whatever happened to the Obama cry of "When they go low - we go high."? Peeps seem to have forgotten that piece of wisdom.

We have to put the bitch slap on the hysterical wingnuts who casually throw around words like nazi and fascist at those of us who aren't willing to "go low".

Independent voters see that shit, and they hate it. Big picture, people. Let's get a handle on the far left, shut them the fuck up, and moderate towards the middle with some clear alternatives to Trump World.  

That's how we Quarterback this motherfucker.

>>>>>Let's get a handle on the far left, shut them the fuck up, and moderate towards the middle

 

As the middle slides to the right...

 

Dan Rather:President Trump and the GOP bemoaning a lack of civility is a hypocritical farce. It spurs an almost uncontrollable bout of forehead slapping in disbelief. 

But let's be clear about what incivility really looks like:

Incivility is lying to impugn the citizenship of the first African American president. 

Incivility is threatening and mocking reporters and attacking the First Amendment protections of our free and independent press.

Incivility is destroying the environment and ignoring climate change. 

Incivility is countenancing corruption and venality in the highest reaches of the White House and its cabinet. 

Incivility is our government's response to Puerto Rico. 

Incivility is undermining a merited investigation by respected law enforcement officials and maligning the notion of an independent judiciary.

Incivility is cozying up to dictators and attacking our allies and friends.

Incivility is ripping children - even those too young to know their parent's name - from immigrants legally claiming asylum. 

Incivility is endeavoring to have millions of Americans lose their health insurance. 

Incivility is creating a false equivalence between Nazis and counter protesters. 

Incivility is using peaceful dissent from NFL players as a pretense for stirring the deep waters of racial injustice. 

Incivility is using Twitter to lie and bully.

Incivility is just having the pathology to constantly lie in the first place. 

Incivility is gas lighting your fellow citizens on issues big and small. 

Incivility is trying to bar entry to the United States on account of religion. 

Incivility is ignoring science and reason.

Incivility is trying to run roughshod over our constitutional protections. 

These are but a few of the real incivilities that plague our moment in history. They are the actions of a man and his enablers who feel no compunction about destroying the bonds that have held this improbable nation together. We will only succeed if we have a civil society. And anything or anyone who attacks that cherished American ideal must be considered...uncivil.

 

Asking the lying shit weasel fascist supporting Press Secretary politely to leave a restaurant is not uncivil. 

For me - "going high" is how you go about doing it. It's the way you do it - more than what you do.

Actions have always spoken louder than words - and talk is cheap.

Exactly, 6

 

 I find elected democrats voting with the gop since trump's election to be the bigger threat than people who choose to go high.

And speak louder than tweets as well....

A good comment below that opinion piece in the link above:

"Hearts and minds are not won by attack, they are won by reason."

Trump did not reverse his policy of separating children from the parents at the border because of reason. 

 

How did reasoning with Hitler work out?

Trump isn't Hitler, Nancy. Insisting it over and over doesn't make it so. 

Civil disobedience isn't easy, action should be well thought out before executed. IMO if the entire staff had walked off the job rather than serve SHS it would've left a more damning commentary on the administration and SHS. Employees get interviews offering their compelling reasons for risking their livelihood instead of leaving a target on the restaurant itself, a Big HR meeting the next week to reclaim valued employees, minimal collateral damage.20/20 grain of salt of course.

Trying to change Trump? That's a fool's errand.

Let's try to reason with voters first - and not his base - 'cause that would also be foolish.

Let's reason with all those who did not vote, who voted for Bernie or the Green Party or who wrote people in. People who are moderate or independent. Those are the people you reason with.

 

Reason with Hitler? Makes a good headline - but hyperbole much?

No, Trump isn't Hilter..yet.

 

Can anyone deny that Trump is a wannabe Dictator? And the GOP are doing nothing to prevent that. 

 

He is following Hitler's playbook labeling brown people "animals",  claiming they're infecting our country.  Forcing Government employees to be loyal to him over Country. Advocating for denying Due Process of the Law and shitting on the Constitution...

>>Trump did not reverse his policy of separating children from the parents at the border because of reason. 

 

Trump reversed his policy because he got too much blow-back from reason-able people.

for the record, his "reversal" is mostly propaganda B.S. and he's already reversed much of his reversal. he's a snake. 

He didn’t reverse it because he didn’t actually really reverse it.  He claims to have but there is no way to actually verify it, and the reason he did anything was because the coverage was “poor optics”.

>> He is following Hitler's playbook labeling brown people "animals"

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-animals-hitler/

WHAT'S FALSE

Neither of the quotes offered in the meme is a literal one, and Trump's quote more specifically described MS-13 gang members as "animals."

>>>Can anyone deny that Trump is a wannabe Dictator

 

There isn't usually any wannabe in a real dictatorship.

Not saying I don't see your point, but he's not a dictator, and he doesn't have a path to become one.

So, let's stop with that. It's hurting the credibility of the voters who reasonably oppose his policies. 

At this time, I would like to urge the most vocal of critics on either side of the numerous issues we as a country face to run for office and attempt to change the laws that irk you the most. 

>and he doesn't have a path to become one.

 

I respectfully disagree. The GOP are enabling Dictator Don 100 percent

 

 

 

Your link isn't reassuring at all, Emder.  As far as Donnie is concerned every brown man woman and child is an animal. Which is why he has no problem putting them in cages...or as the Propaganda would have you believe "summer camps"

Let's reason with all those who did not vote, who voted for Bernie or the Green Party or who wrote people in. People who are moderate or independent. Those are the people you reason with.

As far as I can tell people aren't ready for that as long as they hang on to blaming voters rather than accepting the DNC was complicit in turning them off. People who didn't vote? Well, you have to give them someone to vote FOR is the elephant in the room. Frankly, I think HRC's VP choice was the nail in her centrist coffin. It was like she was getting off on forcing voters to hold their noses.

There’s always excuses.

Had HRC chosen Bernie, Tulsi Gabbard, or even Warren, she would've had a massive landslide victory. It makes no sense to disregard uniting people who are mostly like-minded in favor of relying on fear to win an election. Instead, she went with milquetoast.

 

So what laws were passed to make this illegal immigration policy any different from previous admins? Just curious

No laws were passed, just policy and enforcement decisions that were made.

so he's enforcing the law as written prior to assuming the office. thanks!

No, he’s enforcing the same law differently.

Thank you, Timmy. That's exactly right.

He could choose not to be an evil cocksucker and show everyone his mettle, Hill. Apparently, he relishes being a gigantic asshole over leading the nation in a new direction.

he's actually enforcing the law, period. so when obama was racking up record numbers of deportations, and the illegals were caged & wrapped in aluminum foil, those pictures that are being shown that says they're from trump era but most were from obama, no outrage back then? but now it's the most godawful thing ever? 

https://www.npr.org/2018/05/29/615079848/following-up-on-1-500-missing-i...

MUNOZ: Attorney General Sessions announced a policy change. Now, if a parent comes in the United States with their child, even if they're fleeing for their lives, the policy of the United States is to separate that child from the parent no matter what the age (unintelligible).

INSKEEP: Is that different? Did you not do that in the Obama administration at all?

MUNOZ: No. The Obama administration did not do that. No, we did not separate children from their parents. This is a new decision, a policy decision, made by the attorney general which puts us in league with the most brutal regimes in the world's history. These - in many cases, these are people who are fleeing because of violence in their home country. The responsibility of the United States under the law is to determine who has a well-founded fear, who might qualify for political asylum. That's a hard job to do to sort out folks who might be economic migrants from folks who might be in danger. But our job is to make sure that we protect people who are in danger. What this administration has chosen to do instead is to terrorize these families in the hope that that terror will deter them from coming in the first place.

INSKEEP: Well, President Trump tweeted about this or appeared to tweet about this. There's a lot in the tweet. But there's one sentence in it, and it says, put pressure - put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border into the U.S. Is there a law requiring the separation of parents from their children?

MUNOZ: No, there is not. The attorney general announced this policy not very long ago. This is the Trump administration's posture.

INSKEEP: John Kelly, the White House chief of staff, defended this policy on this program in an interview with NPR's John Burnett the other day. He was asked, isn't it cruel to take a mother from her children? And let's listen to some of what he had to say.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST)

JOHN KELLY: The children will be taken care of - put into foster care or whatever. But the big point is they elected to come illegally into the United States. And this is a technique that no one hopes will be used extensively or for very long.

INSKEEP: A couple of parts there; first, put into foster care or whatever. Is the United States competent to do that?

MUNOZ: So that means more kids in the hands of HHS. This is not what HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement is for. They don't have the budget for this. And it is just outrageous to suggest that we can come up with decent care for kids when they're being separated from their parents, especially when we're talking about in many cases parents who have brought those children to save their lives. It's - I don't have words for how reprehensible that policy is.

INSKEEP: But let's talk about the other part of John Kelly's statement - the big point is they elected to come illegally. This is clearly an effort to deter people from coming at all, warning them this is a dangerous thing for you to do. Don't do it.

MUNOZ: But here's the thing. It is not illegal to approach the border and say, I want asylum. I fear for my life. The law actually provides for that. They are lumping folks who are essentially refugees in with illegal migrants. And it's not the same thing. In fact, it is legal to approach the border. These are not folks who are trying to evade our border authorities. They get to the border, and they look for the Border Patrol because what they're saying is I'm coming to the United States for refuge. And what we are doing is saying, fine, we'll take your children away.

INSKEEP: Cecilia Munoz, thanks very much.

>>but most were from obama, no outrage back then?

There was outrage for Obama's actions and policy back then too. Not as much, but there was.

Do you always talk in absolutes?

Obama was still enforcing the law.  The same law can be enforced without locking up people for misdemeanors and taking their kids.  That’s the difference in policy.

 

i know you’ll say only 3% of those arrested and released by Obama showed up for court but that’s a lie.  The number was 75%

Well if it was godawful then (and it was), why continue it? Policy isn't law. Grandstanding on evil for political gotchas when you can be the bigger man makes him all the shittier.

When will Kushner tell Trump to handle it like Israel and shoot the kids? 

so it boils down to how one feels about it. just wanted clarification. thanks!

Not really, it boils down to decency and a decent leader doesn't use children as pawns for political gain like a hostile 3 year old. Rising above is an option, you know. One road I've yet to see trump administration take.

It's bad policy, period. The smart kids on the right (Ben Shapiro, etc.) know that.

We need to lean on our lawmakers to get something coherent, bi-partisan, and sustainable on the table. The soda can has been kicked down the road long enough.

In the meantime, yeah; don't separate kids from their parents. The fuck outta here with that. It's below us as a nation, regardless of the complexity of the issue(s).

not a trump fan at all. the saint is right about  any solution to be proposed. no way would children be used by unsavory actors as a gimmick to help persuade immigration svcs to keep the family together in this country. don't have an issue with hispanics period as i usually interact with a fair number across the country on a daily basis. they're usually extremely polite & gracious, much more so than the white people i work with. 

lol JR.  Go pound sand.

I'm enjoying the conversation almost as much as the slices and pint of Manny's I'm lunching on at the University Ave. Pagliacci.  Would you believe today is their last day at this location after 40 years here?  Progress, meh.

Decided I'm going to try to work up a greasy funky instrumental and call it "Soul Taco".   Muy sabroso...

Paglacci is a custie chain restaurant. 

Best 3:

1) Big Mario's

2) Italian family Pizza

3) Sizzle Pie

Good to know.  None of them are in my neighborhood. 

All that's left is some chain called Mod Pizza that I haven't been to. 

At least Pagliacci is local.  Pie was always decent, the drinks cold, and the service good.

They also didn't sell the Sonics to some Oklahoma Oil tycoon.

So they've got that going for them.

I also enjoyed their collection of vintage Italian movie posters.  Those are cool.

It was a nice place to take a break, and now it's gone.

C'est la vie.

Did they still have all those Italian cinema posters on the walls?

500 Tacos

Yeah, the posters were still up.  I think they are just going to move them to their other locations.

Spill the whine, dig that pearl

nice thread!  great work boys !

500+....

no garbage here :)

how come viva admin never posts in the community's best threads? 

do lava and heydavey even post any longer? funny shit. 

great thread folks. 500 tacos for all! 

ogbk (pyramidheat) -

Is it the communities "best threads" because of content?

or the fact that it hit 500?

 

Hundreds Of Red Hen Gift Cards Are Being Donated To Veterans By Strangers

The Red Hen restaurant has come under attack by Trump supporters after the restaurant forced White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to leave its premise. Now, a bit of social good is coming from the small business that was viciously and falsely attacked by President Donald Trump for its level of cleanliness.

https://hillreporter.com/hundreds-of-red-hen-gift-cards-are-being-donate...

How much is the food at that boujie place? 

content-they always miss these threads-you sure don't tho, good job, bud.

and nice, tod. that trump tweet was trash, expect anything less? 

>>> expect anything less?

Nope.

I'm also gonna point it out, because the more you expect less and less...

He'll keep lowering the bar, while desensitizing the masses into believing "This is just Trump being Trump, he always does this..."

Making it more normal everyday.

Fuck that.

Everyone please shut down your computers, go outside and get some fresh air

>Ben Shapiro

Did you really just cite him as a beacon of 'getting it'?     Lol...  

 

Just so we're crystal clear St. Mark.

As you said in the 2nd post in this long ass thread.

>>> I thought the Right was completely insane for pretty much all of Obama's administration; now it's pretty clear the crazy is equally present on the Left.

Kicking somebody out of a resturrest because you don't like their politics? Check.

 

 

The issue wasn't Sarah Huckabee Sanders politics and even that she lies from the Podium daily.

She's been able to go out in public eat, drink and do her thing.

 

It's when the reports of newborns to 3 months were being separated from the mothers and young children being put into cages indefinitely.

 

This is where it became a moral not political stand.

 

Either you get it or you don't.

>> This is where it became a moral not political stand

>> Either you get it or you don't.

Did the Obama Administration Place Immigrant Children With Human Traffickers?

>>>>>Is it the communities "best threads" because of content?

or the fact that it hit 500?<<<<<<

 

A little of column A a little of column B.

 

When zoners like Lance and Ender give an opinion in a thread like this it should be given some weight.  Ender is almost a robot.  He’s the least emotional and most analytical zoner there is.  If he says you’re being a crybaby, you’re probably being a crybaby.

 

There’s some gems in here.  Some good projection too.  Like calling Mark, Ateix, and myself the three amigos when there was clearly more than 3 people that shared the same viewpoint while you, Fly, and Dave cried about being persecuted.  The thread had politics, drama, conspiracy theories, banning threats, secret emails to admin, some healing, a few fuck yous, and some comedy.  That’s the recipe for a good thread.

 

If you don’t like this sort of thread why are 50+ posts yours?

Ender - are we trying to equate what is happening now with what happened under the Obama admin or are you just throwing that out there?

obama should've endorsed bernie. 

>> Ender - are we trying to equate what is happening now with what happened under the Obama admin or are you just throwing that out there?

Do you find 6000 children given to human traffickers and forced to work for 12 hours day on a egg farm equivalent to 12000 children being detained by HHS?

And we would still be in the same situation... Bernie was never going to be president.  You can cry all the way to the grave --- it's just a simple fact.  People need to get more educated on the REALITY of our political system -- not what they hope it to be.  Spoiler alert: it's only getting worse, not better.  

 

The article even says that the number is exaggerated.   6,000 kids working on an egg farm?  Really?  

 

 

Timmy -

I've explained on more than one occasion what the 3 Amigo's means.

No projection at all.

You 3 huddle up when the "time-out" talk starts hence the 3 Amigos.

After in your own words of being here for 15 years, also being banned and timed out,.

St. Mark and Ateix have been banned and or timed out.

You KNOW where the line is.

Im pretty sure somebody else made a comment to the 1,2,3 attack earlier in the thread.

Yeah, it's up there.

 

>>> if you don't like this sort of thread why are 50+ posts yours?

Because this:

St. Mark (the lion)

"This has been a pretty solid thread hijacking, gang."

 

Also, because I give a shit to what is happening to OUR country.

I'm also sick of the fuckin' bullying and personal attacks that are taking away from the point which was Sarah Huckabee Sanders being asked to leave a restaurant.

I also will not stand for this bullshit dribble either.

"Independent voters see that shit, and they hate it. Big picture, people. Let's get a handle on the far left, shut them the fuck up, and moderate towards the middle with some clear alternatives to Trump World.  

That's how we Quarterback this motherfucker. "

- St. Mark

Fuck that, take a knee!

hey good win for alexandria ocasio-cortez over the neo liberals in nyc last night. that's positive. 

Where did you get the 6000 number from, still there is a huge difference in situations here, one being an obvious mistake and not intentional and the current situation where its NOT a mistake and absolutely intentional. Grasping at straws GOP propaganda BS.

 

And we would still be in the same situation... Bernie was never going to be president.>>>

Exactly right, pointing fingers won't help anything now.

>> The article even says that the number is exaggerated.  

Did you misread "exacerbated" as "exaggerated"? 

To make matters worse, an investigation published 19 June 2018 by McClatchy revealed that the figure was only a snapshot from a three-month period and the number of children who are unaccounted for by HHS is actually nearly 6,000. The figure is likely exacerbated by an April 2018 agreement that allows background check information, including immigration status, of caregivers like parents and relatives to be shared with immigration authorities. 

>> 6,000 kids working on an egg farm?  Really?  

If snopes is "fake news" to you then we probably can't usefully communicate.

>> Exactly right, pointing fingers won't help anything now.

I agree. I was just calling out T.O.D.'s bullshit that this is about morals and not politics. He and the media got religion now because we are talking about Republicans.

>>>>>You KNOW where the line is.

 

Yeah, the line is someone crying to admin.

 

You, Dave, and Fly carry on with the righteous indignation.  It’s some of the funnier stuff in this thread.

Ender, your point is partially valid. The difference today is we have Sessions making jokes and still saying its a great idea and much of trumps base thinks its wonderful, in that aspect it is about morals and ethics.

tod. lol.

 

I still would have served her, and made sure that no staff spit or jizzed in her food.

David Duke, on the other hand, could use a hot case of giardia.

Are you marching Saturday, Fog? 

Righteous indignation?

You mean not putting up with your shit.

 

So let me guess, if Herbal Dave doesn't post the emails and Admin. doesn't respond to the call for releasing the emails.

He's automatically guilty of what you accuse him of..

Do I got that right?

 

Keep deflecting from the original point of the thread.

You’re doing Gods work TOD

Mike Huckabee is doing God's work!

I would have served her also but totally respect and understand not serving her. The manager has resigned.

 

Hopefully they get a huge turnout, can't make saturday, its Dads birthday party.

 

Ha ha hah....does TOd where dead Co concert t shirts?

TOD is the #resistance!

Tchod, please stop bringing up my name in your incoherently rambles.

Thanks in advance, and God bless.

It doesn't matter what you where....

jamcat_0.jpg

But knowing how to spell wear does.

 

Carry on....

Good morning all.  Not too much time for this today as I am more interested in watching Sweden crush Mexico's World Cup hopes. 

Just want to remind you that I don't have any emails to share.  That's because I didn't receive any response to the message I sent in the contact admin link.  No, the only ones who received emails were apparently the ones who were found guilty of crossing the line of what is acceptable here.  That would be you, Timmy and Mark.  So why don't you go ahead and post those emails?

I've already stated that I am okay with Admin posting what I sent them, and will restate that I welcome their participation in this thread.  It would be a good forum for them to clarify what they feel is acceptable and how they would like to see their site function.

Now, back to Sweden raining on Mexico's Taco Party.

"Proposed by Senators Tim Kaine and Bob Corker, its radicalism approaches that of a constitutional amendment. Their new AUMF would subvert an article at the core of the Constitution, gutting a vital protection against tyranny devised by the Framers. It would authorize multiple existing wars without even debating them individually. It would empower Trump and his successors to unilaterally wage war in new countries, expand their ability to indefinitely detain prisoners without charges, and empower them to unilaterally kill individuals even inside the United States."

So so so different

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/06/congress-may-declar...

We’re past that now Dave, but this has really been a good thread for you to get some things off your chest that you claim to not care about.

>>>No, the only ones who received emails were apparently the ones who were found guilty of crossing the line of what is acceptable here

 

Guilty as charged. I actually narrated some of your posts in the voice of Jane Goddall a few years ago, too. 

>> I actually narrated some of your posts in the voice of Jane Goddall a few years ago, too. 

Be careful, they got Roseanne for that.

Ha ha, good stuff Ender!

I'm on Cloud 9 right now, as Sweden destroyed El Tri 3-0, and Korea snuffed the Germans 2-0, so the Mexicans advance, and the defending world champs are gone-zo!

I will definitely be enjoying this day.  Hope you all do to.

If you get a chance, check out the photos from Marseille I posted in the Stones Tour thread.  Looks like an amazing venue.  Hope we get on the ground reports from Tommy and Woz.

Skol!

FYI, Tim Kaine speaking out in other news.

Giving trump more power is a really really bad idea, i'm with ya on that.

So Sweden and Mexico advance?

Ja!

Hoover trolls again.

->while you, Fly, and Dave cried about being persecuted.  9:47

->You, Dave, and Fly carry on with the righteous indignation  10:47

Sorry "Dirt Sucker", I cant stand back and you mention my handle twice in an hour after I clearly wanted to leave it at a good place YESTERDAY @1:20 (if possible). Neither of your statements are accurate This is a prime example of your troll game. Its all you and Mark know how to do.  If you and "smoking jacket" feel the heat, I suggest it is because you are realizing your shit is tired, played, and unfunny. I applaud those willing to speak up to you. Maybe admin wants the group to correct itself. If you are hurt by the truth , you and your lordship are free to leave - voluntarily this time.

If this were my restaurant, I'd kick you both to the curb with no tacos.

oh and yes Korea yes-  Mexico thanks you..

Thanks for buzzing in to prove my point, Fly.

I'm not sure you really know what the word trolling means, Fly.

Then again, you're a grown man who plays an insect character on a drug band message board; so obviously you have a good handle on things.

oh and yes Korea yes-  Mexico thanks you..>>>

I can't believe Germany is out. At least they have the starburst.

how come fly always lands on turds?

It's just part of the character, Turts.

Are all 3 of them incel's?

Wow JR.  I had to look that up.  That's not anything close to who I am, or I would hope for anyone on this board.  That's just a horrible and ugly thing to say about people you don't know.  You sir, have issues.

For anyone watching, here's the meaning from the Urban Dictionary of the hate speech JR just posted:

aka "involuntarily celibate", a person (usually male) who has a horrible personality and treats women like sexual objects and thinks his lack of a sex life comes from being "ugly" when its really just his blatant sexism and terrible attitude. incels have little to no self awareness; even when they see other "ugly" men with girlfriends, they consider these men to be tricksters who have somehow beat the system and can get women despite being cursed with unattractiveness (in other words, theyre respectful to women and women are attracted to their personalities, but incels cant comprehend such a phenomenon). they believe that women owe them sex, and many of the more extreme incels like to spend time in incel communities on the internet coming up with ways to make women have sex with them (often involving genocide of people of color, genocide of "Chads" (men who have sex), taking rights away from women, raping them, having sex with women's dead bodies, and other horrid, disgusting things. they cant understand that that is PRECISELY why women want nothing to do with them).

It looks like this one might hit 1,000. Would that be a first for Viva?

Urban dictionary is an entertainment site, not an actual dictionary.

Here's a definition of incel from Wiki:

 

Etymology

Blend of involuntary +‎ celibate.

Pronunciation

(US) IPA(key): /ˈɪnsɛl/

Noun

incel (countable and uncountable, plural incels)

A person who inadequately or never has sex despite wishing to.

i had that after my divorce but it worked out.

^^either way, its horrible

In my book it ain't trolling until someone starts a couple of hundred threads about you, and then stays up all night and day posting in them.

It's a high bar, I know, but one that we can all strive to attain.

and don't forget ascii art

And having your name in the troll's handle.

A very, very high bar. One could almost say that it was "all pro."

Definitely not a personal attack.

Whoever did it, that's some weak ass bullshit.<<<<<

 

 

lol, Incel Dave has gone full Dewitt.

 

Fucking old people and technology.  A perfect comedy mix.

I’m pretty good with the nicknames.  I admit the Dewitt comparison is kind of mean though.  Dave’s not as crazy as her.  

 

Being called an Incel is the kind of thing that a sex haver would laugh off and not make a big deal out of.  At least that’s my take as a sex haver.  If Dave’s a Volcel and not an Incel I apologize.

I'm having trouble following your post quoting above, TOD.

Is there something specifically you're asking me, or is this like another grave social injustice you're avenging?

I'll add Disco Stu to the list. 

>> hate speech

Oh, for fuck's sake. 

Again, Ateix, this thread is about civility, and when and when it is not appropriate to be incivil.

What part of JR's comment do you find to be apropriate for this discussion on this board with the groundrules stated as they are?

It was over-the-top ugly and offensive.  Sure it's easy for little schmucks to laugh it off as "just joking", but it's not funny to me.  That's just part of the troll game, and anyone who thinks it's cool to go there is displaying signs of a serious mental pathology.  I guess there is no accounting for crazy, but there is a way to cut it off.

>>>>>but it's not funny to me.

 

How come?

 

I guess much like music comedy is subjective.

Whatever you gotta tell yourself to justify the crybaby emails, Dave.

Sure, I'm a crybaby, because I let admin know there rules were being broken and was wondering if that was what acceptable here.  If I was in the wrong, you'd think I was the one who would have gotten the email.   I don't have any emails to post.  Admin can post what I sent them. Mark and Timmy have been invited to share the emails they were sent.  They haven't.  Gee, wonder why? 

But please, keep up with the name-calling and lashing out.  It makes you seem so rational.

>>>>>>Gee, wonder why? 

 

Same reason you skipped out on doing push ups in the park when Jen volunteered to film it?

 

Dave, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours ever work out for you?

 

>>>>>>I don't have any emails to post.

 

Semantics.  Just like you didn’t start a birthday thread for yourself.  You started a reflecting on turning 50 thread.

Keep it classy MAGA.

I believe the technical term is actually tattletale.

>>>>>>you'd think I was the one who would have gotten the email

 

Or another theory: maybe nobody sent a whiny comment to admin about your behavior.

 

#notrollmo. #counterpoint

timmy and his lord sure are trying a little too hard. its cute. Brain space-  check! hahaha

tick tock trolls

this is now a thread about tools.  lol

marky, show us how smart and cool you are again.

I do that every time I post, Fly.

That's why I'm a 12x ZOTY. 

If someone called me that word I'd laugh it off....your comments over the years related to women and your relationships with them is the reason why I chose to say it.  Must have hit home or you wouldn't have written paragraphs on a dbmb defending yourself and playing the victim.

FACT: Van Morrison wrote "Listen to the Lion" about St. Mark.

Dave, if I ever post something that you feel is trolling or would prompt you to email or “contact” admin just tell me I’m hurting your feelings and I’ll leave the thread.

 

same for Fly and TOD or anyone else really.

Instead of that, what about being just civil, kind, etc., throughout?

There were good topics to talk about here, I mean tacos, politics, tacos, but the name-calling and bickering flowed like vomit. Come on.

It's pretty simple, folks.  Turtle has stated it before. 

There's just one basic rule.

Don't be a dick.

Who are you calling a dick, Dave?  

i wonder why "dicks" have a bad connotation?

they should be good.

well, pussies as well...

No one in particular, and you know damn well what I mean.

Don’t act like you or I have been in this thread?  Because honestly I thought you were inferring people in this thread were dicks and just wondered who you were referring to.

dicks

cool kids

I didn't get the email, Timmy.   Own it.

As for JR.   He's been posting agro, vindictive, bile-filled garbage towards me and others for years.  I have no idea why Admin puts up with it.  It doesn't seem to jibe with their mission statement.

I didn't just laugh it off, because I'm drawing the line.  I have a mother, sister, female friends and relatives.  I cherish each one of them and respect women.  JR, not me, is the one posting threads like "How Much Porn Do You Watch" and discussing his exploits at the massage parlors.  It's debasing to him and to this place. 

I don't hold grudges against anyone.  I want what's best for all of us.  I hope all of us can continue to grow and be better people.

>>>>>I didn't get the email, Timmy

 

No.  You sent it.

>> It makes you seem so rational.

Lol. Re-read literally every one of your posts in this thread, bubba. Crazy town.

Dave, I think it should be pointed out again that you were the first to make a negative, insulting comment/troll post in this thread, directed at someone who was rationally & soberly expressing his serious opinion on a serious subject.

>> JR, not me, is the one posting threads like "How Much Porn Do You Watch" and discussing his exploits at the massage parlors.  

I think you might be having your employees narrate the wrong message board to you. Are you sure you didn't accidentally ask them to read you posts from the 6arbagezone?

>>>FACT: Van Morrison wrote "Listen to the Lion" about St. Mark

 

True. He emails me pretty good dad jokes too.

 

>>>There were good topics to talk about here, I mean tacos, politics, tacos, but the name-calling and bickering flowed like vomit

 

I understand the piss matches aren't your style, J; but these are the threads that put up the big numbers. If people didn't like em, they couldn't flourish. 

You can hope for a "better" world, even do all you can to make it real; but you can't change the fact that this is how how philzone has always been.

Anybody here can start a thread, anytime. The free market of ideas determines which ones succeed, and which ones fail. I've had plenty of both in my carreer here, so I feel like I'm qualified to offer my analysis.

>>>>>>Lol. Re-read literally every one of your posts in this thread, bubba. Crazy town.

 

Start with the one where you said you have your employees read Marks posts.

There are threads about porn and massage parlors on the Garbagezone?

Damn, I always miss the good stuff.

Hi dreadbeard.

^Post 600

 

Also coincidentally the number of pushups Dave said he would surely be doing by the time Jenn filmed him in the park.

Apparently JR isn't cool with women even though he's successfully procreated and does pretty well in the dating market from what I understand. 


I respectfully disagree with your view, Lance.  What I said was directly pointed towards and in line with the subject being discussed. 

I've never logged onto or read anything from that other site, other than what some of you have posted here.  If that's the spirit of community you want to be a part of, feel free to go hang out there.  Those were threads JR posted here.

When the old Zone shuttered, many high volume posters like Brick or Duke, recognized the new playing field we were entering and chose to log off.  I respect their decision, whether it was because they didn't like the new rules or because they were bored and had moved on. 

 

Maybe you should move on, Java Dave?

Seems like you aren't able to square some of what you post here with the reaction you get; and instead of owning that, you play the victim and require Admin to intervene for you under the auspicious of "understanding the rules". Then when the community reacts negatively to that, you double down and keep the narrative going by reengaging for days after everybody decides to move on from it.

Rinse. Repeat.

You wrote it right the first time, Mulemuzik. Dude is sackless.

JR >>>>>>and does pretty well in the dating market from what I understand. << He's a Good Looking Guy _ Like Hoover and JRs Sister Is Hot Sizzle.

lol

this thread lost it's mojo

all talk is now about the supreme court

we must resist

Lol. Anybody who isn't clear about what trolling is should click on the link Dise posted above^.

The classics never die, Mark.

I'm just trying to be respectful and of the place and others.  I ain't perfect, but that's all I'm aiming for.

If the place is going to be allowed to devolve into unwarranted incivility and dickishness, color me gone.

I let my employee leave early so he and his girlfriend could catch the Robert Plant show, and will be too busy running the store to continue in this thread for now.

Be kind to one another.

Loosen the grip on your pearls, you knuckles are white.

>>>>>I let my employee leave early so he and his girlfriend could catch the Robert Plant show

 

At least someone’s getting laid.

>>>Be kind to one another.

Aren’t you the guy who is angry at NFL players for their police protests during the national anthem? 

For the record, my girlfriend and I blew a couple hundred bucks at the strip club last weekend. No happy ending though :(....

P.s. Plf, thank you for the compliment. I put a lot of work into looking good and appreciate the validation. In fact, heading to the salon in a few to work on my base tan.
