I don't think Trump is going to follow through on this. I think it's just a shakedown. I think he's shorting the stocks on the front end when this hits the markets and getting kickbacks on the back end not to actually go through with it.

But what I hate most of all is that actually doing this is a good idea and he gets credit for being the only one to say this out loud, even though he's never going to actually follow through.

It's like the time he almost negged North Korea into a non-proliferation treaty but quit in a fit of pique at the five yard line.

My friend just returned from Florence and echoed the same aspects about the freshness and tastiness of Italian cuisine.

First, there's no such thing as "Italian" cuisine. "Italy" didn't exist before 1861. To conflate the cuisines of Genoa, Venice, Naples, Rome, Tuscany, Sardinia, and Sicily as one entity is ahistorical nonsense and the product of a literal imperial/colonial propaganda campaign. Second, most of what is considered "Italian" cuisine in the anglophone world is a product of transatlantic cross-polination with expat communities in the New World. Half of the supposedly quintessential Italian dishes you could probably name were actually originated in New York or Pennsylvania. Finally, you friend had good food in Italy because he was on vacation. This starts you off on the right foot as you're in a good mood to begin with and not really harried with a schedule and can enjoy your meals. You're also more likely to eat more expensive meals and at higher quality restaurants than you would normally. Don't lt vacation vibes confuse your mind.

Refrigeration is one of the worst thing that happened to food.

This is such a stupid comment it can only be made from a position of incredible ignorance.

"Ultra-processed foods" is just a fancy way of saying "junk food" and just as meaningless in a technical discussion. What it really means is food we've assigned a low moral value to. As health is not a moral judgement but a physical reality, it shouldn't be brought up in a technically discussion. Definitionally, a loaf of fresh baked whole wheat bread has been much more heavily processed than a bag of potato chips. But that's not reflective of which one would be labeled as "ultra-processed".

You only say that because you don't know enough about Jackson or Harrison. This isn't the first time this has happened in the US.

Every accusation an admission. Every charge, a confession. Clearly MAGAts must be harvesting adrenochrome from children.
