If that’s true, it’s what he would have wanted. Power to the end, and beyond!

Just another way the US is an Alpha Democracy. (as in, still full of bugs that got fixed in later versions.) At least I live in California which does a great job on elections.

Here’s something else I found, looks like you can freeze the tomatoes in their skins, and then slip the skins off and turn the still-icy flesh into gazpacho. Might be an easier way to go, if you decide you like the salad-soup. https://ucanr.edu/sites/default/files/2019-10/312322.pdf

I get it, but it’s really gonna be soup after you freeze and thaw it. Might develop a different flavor profile too. And if you keep it any real length of time, even frozen, you could be growing bacteria because they’re not dead just slowed down. Read up on safe techniques on the website. And try freezing one portion of your salad for a few days, (that’s at least as safe as leaving it in the fridge) then thaw it and see if it’s going to be worth the trouble.

If you decide you want to save on canned tomatoes for pasta and use the cash to buy winter salad tomatoes, here’s the safe way to freeze some of your extras: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/freeze/vegetable/freezing-tomatoes/

If it were possible and safe to freeze raw tomatoes for salads, you would have seen packages of them in your grocer’s freezer. If you’re willing to use them for soup/stew, here’s how to do it without making anyone sick:

There’s links on the page for a lot of other garden vegetables as well.

We have rules too, but the despot in chargge tramples on the rules, and his toadies in Congress and on the Supreme Court let him. He already had Musk and his DOGE goons get rid of most of the career government workers who normally carry out the rules. Elections are supposed to be run by the various states, and that’s given us hope for changing control of Congress at the midterms in November, but he is trying to wrest control of the whole election process.

Under the current circumstances, with an administration that’s actively working to restrict and gerrymander away the voting power of anyone who’s not on their side, and firing many of the nonpartisan government employees who might get in their way by refusing to rig the process and results, I don’t think we can have enough confidence in our government to call a vote of no confidence, even if it were in our Constitution.

Could be the whole plan. An unsigned bill becomes law if Congress remains in session, or gets the “pocket veto” if they leave, isn’t that the rules?

One thing I’ve never understood: y’all declare you have no confidence in the government but you have enough confidence to trust it to run a fair election?

They’re also probably the only employees who can be replaced by AI at a cost savings because of their hugely inflated compensation.

Clearly the AI needs to be trained to answer that the CEOs should be fired. They cost the most and contribute the least, especially since they have shown they’re replaceable with AI.

Are we sure this isn’t 5D Trump Chess regime change in Albania?

I think they mean that, as long as it doesn’t exist, they can use the kind that does both, but as soon as it does, their boss will insist they use the boring kind.

The bucket seats have all that material and padding down each side so I don’t think that point stands.
