did the product description indicate the internet connection was required?

That’s an important question.

That said, we were recently appliance shopping and none of them said that it was required, but a couple of the negative reviews mentioned it.

We ended up choosing one of the very few that didn’t list wifi or an app as a feature. Hopefully there isn’t a stealth modem hidden in there somewhere. I guess we’ll find out next week when it’s delivered…

Does extreme vetting come with knee pads, or do candidates have to bring their own?

Is this draining the swamp?

Draining it directly into the white house.

That sounds like a you problem, Rudy…

Leaving it open ended and subjective is setting up for failure.

Having a specific list always misses something, and bad actors will find ways to abuse the gaps in that list.

Ummm… that was a separate thing, and he made the announcement before Trump’s statement.

And it’s Prime Minister, not premier.

My first inclination would not be to join an organization that has a long and notorious history of testosterone fuelled bro culture.

Apparently I vastly underestimated how many people are in the US military in general.

Transgender people are significantly more likely to serve in the US military than the general US population

That also surprises me.

Are there actually 15K trans soldiers in the army, or is this just another number that he pulled out of his ass?

Some of this is likely to be grandstanding, no?

Who the hell knows with Trump.

He makes so many random and often contradictory statements, it’s hard to predict what he will actually do, and what he won’t.

and America didn’t have an incoming president who wasn’t more interested in fellating Putin.

That is a bit of a wildcard, isn’t it.

leaves the door open for charges to be brought back once Trump is no longer in office

Assuming his lard-ass lives that long.

He has already started littering space with scrapped vehicles.

Carrots will store for a year. Butternut and similar squashes almost as long. Beets, onions, cabbage… Potatoes less so but still 6-9 months or longer

Obviously, but that’s not fresh, in-season fruit and vegatables, which is what I was specifically addressing.

He could at least try.

Trump already called for government agencies to shut down CBS, and Muskrat is publicly musing about buying out MSNBC…

He also could have avoided it by not being a malicious lying sack of shit.

Buy only what’s in season

That gets a lot easier the further south you happen to be.

Not a lot of locally grown fruit and veggies in season for the next 6 months up here in the snowing latitudes.

Trump claiming he would or wouldn’t do something has no bearing on what he will actually do.

So, I guess we’ll just have to keep cleaning up the damage season after season, which will get much more expensive very quickly.

Investing in the future is always the less expensive solution over the long term. Unfortunately we have a bad habit of not thinking further ahead than the next election, or the next quarter profit statement.
