Lucy. Thanks for the clarification. I had no idea that a 15 year statute of limitations existed. Please point out where in my post I defended anyone. Show us where you spoke out against the continued ongoing racists in the GOP. Go ahead. |

I’d like to think that when someone’s in a position like he is, when speaking —especially in regards to race (as the question was) that one wouldn’t make gaffes like that—subconsciously or mistakenly. Agreed! Did you give Biden a pass in 2007 when he referred to Obama; "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," Biden said. "I mean, that's a storybook, man." cnn Or maybe this one: In a June 2006 appearance in New Hampshire, the senator commented on the growth of the Indian-American population in Delaware by saying, "You cannot go into a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Oh, I'm not joking." Or this one: Two months later, responding to a question in an August interview on Fox News Sunday, Biden was asked how a "Northeast liberal" could compete against more conservative southern candidates. "Better than everybody else. You don't know my state. My state was a slave state. My state is a border state. My state is the eighth largest black population in the country. My state is anything from a northeast liberal state," Biden said. He repeated the comment during a visit to South Carolina in December 2006 at an event before the Columbia Rotary Club, according to a story published in The State newspaper. The State reported that Biden referred to Delaware as a "slave state that fought beside the North. That's only because we couldn't figure out how to get to the South. There were a couple of states in the way." "What you all know but most people don't know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things," Biden said in that interview. This was said when speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. CNNIt’s not a good thing when a person in position such as politicians say things that exclude or hurt people because of race, ethnicity, or orientation. Now do you. Show us where you were outraged and posting speaking out against hateful m, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic quotes by the likes of trump, McConnell, McCarthy, Greene, cawthorne, Rand Paul, pence, Norbert, Scalise, or pretty much the rest of the GOP. |

He’s a horrible human.
Mid day he meant exactly what he said.
He views black people as “other than” American.

This might be worthy of its own thread. But yes, I would be interested to hear a response to this from some of our conservative peas. Could be that he meant “as all American voters.” Hard to know if it was a mistake or an egregious dog whistle. I’d like to think that when someone’s in a position like he is, when speaking —especially in regards to race (as the question was) that one wouldn’t make gaffes like that—subconsciously or mistakenly. |

I have a hard time taking someone seriously when they didn’t criticize trump for what they are now accusing Biden of. I have been working and couldn’t watch the speech, but in general Biden is not always a great speaker. That being said, even if it was Obama I am sure the OP would be complaining. Snort. 😂 Wanna comment on McConnell’s racist presser yesterday?  |

For those who don't receive Penzeys emails, the first part of this one is a promotion where some spices are discounted and proceeds from their sales will be donated to BLM. Then, the closing paragraphs: I'm not sure what in that could be construed as "far left." Racial equality and voting rights really shouldn't be partisan issues. Perhaps what people are really offended by is that it doesn't mince words in calling people out for their choices. Anyway, Bill from Penzeys has clearly made a calculated choice to attract some customers and repel others, as is his right. It hasn't seemed to hurt his business so far. There was recently a minor kerfuffle here in Houston about a restaurant in a very blue part of town (not far from our Penzey's store, BTW) that chose to advertise on its sign that masks aren't required "unless you look like Nancy Pelosi." Clearly the business owners have the right to post that on their sign; whether it was smart given the neighborhood their business is in remains to be seen. Exactly. His views are really not “far left” unless you’re a republicans trampling all over the rights and well being of others. |

Exactly what I was thinking. What I noticed about her faux sympathy for that poor man whose handlers are taking such terrible care of him and allowing him to humiliate himself in public with his obvious dementia (/end sarcasm) is that it’s almost word-for-word what the right-wing morons on my NextDoor spout every time he makes a public appearance. All the “concern” for his disabilities and shock (shock, I tell you!) that his wife allows him to keep speaking. It’s all nonsense and BS, and obviously it comes straight from the talking heads at Fox or worse. He’s not a world-class speaker, but he’s a good man, a kind man, a competent man, a hard-working man who cares about people and respects the rule of law. He is 10 times the leader and 100 times the man that Trump is. And yes, cindosha , Trump is living rent-free in my head, kinda like Adolf Hitler is, and the KKK, and that wackadoo in North Korea. I’d love to not have to worry about any of them. Sing it. This has been going on since the campaign. So much wringing of hands over the “heartbreak” of Joe Biden being yanked from his bedroom, muttering, and forced to speak in public. A jovial Bertha Rochester. Heartbreaking. Disgusting. Unforgivable. Sad. Cruel. So hard to watch. How could they? When will this embarrassing abuse end? It’s overused to the point of triteness. Faux compassion within an ideological compassion vacuum … including this very OP who has demonstrated overt callousness towards others’ well-being of late - and is, clearly, trolling for reactions. (Total tangent, but here’s a reaction that will go against the thread grain: Barack Obama could be long-winded, circuitous and wonky. “Look, … ” was usually the jumping off point.) Ding, ding, ding…we have a winner. All done in the name of “libs re so mean”… Such a hypocritical snowflake… |

Or insults. I heard that Trump went on Mark Levin’s show to bitch that the press is nicer to Biden than it was to him. 😆😆😆 That’s not untrue. You earn respect. Biden has earned it, trump never did. Trump himself has said that he attacks and degenerates reporters because it causes people to not trust them. |

And now you’re worried about deflecting, too? I haven’t seen the speech but I can guarantee President Biden never insulted the reporters. When trump didn’t like a question, he just insulted the reporter and shouted Fake News! Somehow that behavior was OK with you, but now you’re all up in arms when President Biden deflects? Watch the speech so you know what I’m referring to. I’m not up in arms. Just sad that he clearly is not able to engage in a 2 hour speech. He lasted longer than any trump speech ever given. And he didn’t destroy America doing it! |

Don't you love how when the right posits a theory they bring all the video, data, examples, etc. to bolster their position? I don’t need to bolster my position. Everyone watched the speech. You know exactly what I’m talking about. There is no theory. Nothing I said was incorrect. His answers to the questions the last 40 minutes of his speech were extremely jumbled. He tried. He just wasn’t successful. Yet we all (those who don’t have their heads up the GOP’s butt) sane people can understand what it is he’s conveying. |

Cool now you know how I feel every time the orange bafoon opens his mouth. Suck it up buttercup, you got at least 3 more years of this. So you agree that his speech was pathetic then…. it’s nice to be agreed with on this board. LOL However, it’s frightening that we have 3 more years of dementia. We will be truly effed. You’re such a hypocrite. We’re STILL fucked from all trumps lying and the current GOP lying their asses off daily. Must be nice to be living with blinders on. |

I find it fascinating that this board thinks this was a coherent speech. There were several things he said that were completely non factual. Who here said it was coherent? All I’m reading is people challenging YOUR idea on what is coherent, considering you never said a word about trumps dumbass rambling, lying, and bullshit for 4 years. It’s pretty funny (and you’re totally a hypocrite) for whiny about Biden’s speech when you’ve been a-okay with how trump spoke. |

I’m sure many are watching right now. Can you honestly tell me that this is a coherent speech…. He has not answered one question without moving on to two or three different subjects within that question in the last half hour that I’ve watched him. I think that it is a disgrace that they are letting him go this long because he is getting very tired. And confused. Please spare us your fake outrage. You said nothing about trumps idiotic “speeches” |

That was before my time so I have no knowledge of what "plenty here" did. I'm telling you what I say about sexual assault - Clinton's, Cuomo's, or anyone else's.
How about you do Trump's admitted sexual assault and the add'l 18-26 women who have accused him of sexual assault?
How about Matt Gaetz's alleged sex w/underage woman (women)?
Roy Moore?
Brett Kavanaugh?
Clarence Thomas?
I'll wait.
You’ll be waiting forever. She’s not about to turn in her trump card and go against her echo chamber. She’s not interested in discussing anything—she just wants to cram her opinions down your throat. She’s not here to acknowledge that republicans are fucked up hypocrites, more so than democrats because that would go against her missive of her echo chamber/group think/conformity garbage that she spews. You could prove the sky is blue, grass is green, ice is cold and she’d provide alternative facts and be a hypocrite on those too! She’ll move the goal ousts, change to topic, post irrelevant garbage and then when you stop engaging her alternative facts and untruths, she’ll claim you don’t want to discuss so she wins. |

I’m sort of cleaning and organizing pack up more winter stuff.
I’m also making soup and we’ll also have homemade pizza tonight.
I’m slow moving—my knee is killing me and I cannot put weight on it at the moment—my meniscus appears to have totally failed me!
Getting ready for hubby to build a fire in the fireplace, so I’m sure our living room will become a mosh pit of blankets and pillows! We will all be in some form of leggings/sweats/pjs just waiting for the snowstorm to hit (we’re slated for 6”-12” in a short time)

Oh, recipe please! I love mushroom soup! I would love that recipe, too. I have never eaten canned cream of mushroom soup until recently, and my coworker introduced me to Amy's brand. It's good, but I would love to find a recipe to make it. Just posted it! |

Cream of Mushroom! A childhood favorite—I loved Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup as a kid and growing up—the ultimate comfort food. Then a few years ago, I made up a recipe that is so freaking good that I don’t buy Campbell’s at all! I just make my own. It’s simple and is done in 30 minutes. Oh, recipe please! I love mushroom soup! Ingredients: White button mushrooms (I sometimes will add little baby creminis if they’re available, but prefer white button) Half-n-half (or whole milk) Sea salt Pepper Butter Cornstarch (or flour) GROUND Thyme (you can use regular thyme, but texturally it will feel like you have little dried grass clippings floating about!) I cook to taste so measurements are loose. This is a soup that you can make a single serving of just for yourself with 1 pack if mushrooms—just adjust the ingredients to taste! I slice up 4 4”x6” (10 Oz ?) containers of white button mushrooms and dice up 2 more containers (for varying textures) I sauté all the mushrooms in a large stock pot until they start to become fragrant and just before they turn golden brown (there will be liquid that they release at this point) I sprinkle with a generous pinch or two of salt and pepper, add 1/4 teaspoon of ground thyme (a little goes a long way!) I then add a tablespoon of cornstarch GlutenFree or (you can use flour) and stir in to make a sort of paste/roux. Add the half-n-half and/or whole milk slowly, (I use a half gallon of a combination of milks) and stir constantly so it doesn’t scorch. You’re looking for it to slightly thicken (it shouldn’t be watery or thick like gravy) if it is too thick, add more milk. I taste it as I go and adjust the seasoning (salt, pepper, thyme) to what I like. It’s that simple! Alternatives: Now, to make it vegan, sauté mushrooms in olive oil or avocado oil, and use a plain oat milk as the “milk” (I make this for one of my vegan clients and it’s really good, almost tastes identical to the dairy version) My hubby likes to bolster up the flavor by stirring in a teaspoon or 2 of a rich beef stock base or bouillon) Our family loves this so much there are not usually leftovers, so if I know I want them for later in the week or if I need cream of mushroom soup for a recipe, then I double my recipe. I store leftovers in canning jars in my fridge for up to 5-7 days. If I need cream of mushroom soup for a recipe, I tend to allow my soup to be thicker—once you are ready to store it for such use, add a slurry of 1 TBS cornstarch (or flour) and 1/2 cup of milk to what’s left in the pot, cook until incorporated and soup thickens (past the stage of what you’d use for soup) if that makes sense. When you use cream of mushroom in recipes right out of the can, it’s thicker and more concentrated. |
