They're doing all the things by that law they're claiming to be legislating against.

Get ready for President Ron. You know you're secretly excited.

Pelosi gone, President Ron on the Horizon, fuck it, I might even move back to the U.S.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

It's stupid expensive there. $12.99 for three heads of romaine lettuce.

Medicine's cheap as chips, though.

Bog-standard fish and chips is around £8-12 now - depending on the reputation of the place. My local (which does shit fish and chips, really, the kind of place you only do once, and probably only survives because it's directly opposite a pub) is popping flyers through the door once a fortnight. I know their chips are shit, but you still gotta feel for small businesses who've seen their energy costs triple and their rents leap up by 20%.

So it seems. But you can get fantastic chips in South Queensferry though, and Anstruther, Crail, and Stonehaven. It's not rocket surgery.

Likely, women will be encouraged to stuff a pict of the president down their panties and hope that His munificence will see to the fate of the kids they'll have because contraception and abortion will be made illegal by the repugnants.

For Edinburgh it is. They have never heard of twice frying?
Cant touch Belgisch patatjes with mayo! There is a "patat tent" op the Grote Markt in Mechelen. It is on my bucket list.

Twice fried is the only way to go. I had a great fry cook when I owned the food trailer. He'd soak the potatoes in ice water for an hour or so first, then dry thoroughly and fry at 375F / 200C for 4 minutes or so. Let them cool for at least 10 minutes, then into 450F / 230C till crisp. We sold the shit out of them. Served them in a rolled up paper cone. Most fry cooks don't go over 375F or maybe 400 at most, that's what makes the difference.

Entirely agree lak. Is it so difficult?
When I was 10 I went swimming at the unheated Victorian Municipal baths in Warrender Park in Edinburgh. After the swim on the way home we bought a "threppenny" poke of chips. It was always the same; one lump of fat with chips therein. You got guts ache. They were raw. I did not go for long.

One must demonstrate the proper level of sneering disrespect for the voters to claim the MAGA throne.

'DeSantis Promotes Judge Who Blocked Teen’s Abortion Over Bad Grades'
In November, Florida voters kicked out a judge who issued a controversial ruling denying an abortion to a 17-year-old girl because she had C-average grades in school.

Now, state Gov. Ron DeSantis has appointed him to an even higher court, the Sixth District Court of Appeals.

In January, Judge Jared Smith ruled that the unnamed teen couldn’t get an abortion because he doubted her “overall intelligence.” Florida law requires minors to get parental consent before getting an abortion, and the teen sought an exemption for that requirement.

“(While) she claimed that her grades were ‘Bs’ during her testimony,” Smith wrote in his ruling, “her GPA is currently 2.0. Clearly, a ‘B’ average would not equate to a 2.0 GPA.”

He denied her request, and an appeals court later overturned his ruling, finding that he abused his judicial discretion. In response to his ruling, several local conservatives retracted their endorsements of him. Then, in June, local voters kicked him off of the bench, preferring lawyer Nancy Jacobs by a 3.7-point margin.

However, DeSantis just appointed him to the Sixth District Court of Appeals. Now, he and eight other judges will hear appeals cases from several central Florida counties.
