I get it now…

It’s like they’re relishing doing everything they can to show everyone they own the shutdown

That’s a great point.

I guess this is because DHS/ICE got all the funding and this frees up the DOJ to pursue time and resource sinks like Sandwich Guy?

Irish took tomato gin — yes, such a thing exists — and tomato vermouth, and combined them with a basil eau de vie and herbs, topping it all off with a splash of Lambrusco

I dunno - I feel like Campari or similar bitter aperitif/amaro is the one hard requirement for a Negroni…

…I’d still give this a try though…

The article is from Oct 29. I doubt the SNAP situation is news to many on the fediverse. I shared it more so because A) What a tone deaf headline, and B) To share the epiphany it caused me.

I have to imagine at least some republicans come to the same conclusion too.

I’m calling it “sand on the beach” from now on…

I think it means Texans will have to purchase one whole New Yorker for each New Yorker who moves to Texas?

Sounds like you’re not the folks I was referring to then…

I found Drip Depot’s YouTube videos indispensable for learning everything I needed to get mine set up even if you don’t choose to order from them.
