It's mediocre at best. My Mercedes has been seen in a Popeye's drive thru from time to time. If you can't find a real restaurant, two piece and a biscuit will do ya. Don't let Mama know I eat all this junk food, y'hear?

When in California, I took in a "Del Taco" a time or two. Not the best, but I am partial to the Inferno sauce and the crinkle fries. My degenerate drunk of an older brother swears by it; probably soaks up the liquor real good.

A while back, I said that Trump will likely be spending the rest of his life running for president. I see this as part of that. It may be constitutionally impossible for him to be sworn in for another term, but nothing in the document prevents him from the process of running, crazy as that may sound

You can't be blackmailed over an open secret. He was a power broker and a war hawk. His position was helpful to many powerful entities, many of them factors in the current war and its predecessors for decades.

Nobody cares who you bed down with in the South. Not really. What is significant in Graham's passing is that he had seemingly learned to work with Trump and his people. Without him, the White House lacks a major ally. The war lives on, though.

Ossoff would be an ideal VP, and I think he is setting himself up as such; that is his path to the White House, assuming he wants it.

I think that running directly from the Senate is almost always a bad move. In my considered opinion, Obama's path to winning came directly from battling another Senator with a longer voting record and a penchant for bold, risky moves.

I just wonder why a decent politician hasn't just moved to Maine and taken it for themselves. Republicans used to like boating.

Maine has a small population and, a few who live there have decent money. Money is the leading reason she's survived so long. A better politician would make short work of her.

Emanuel will never be president. I'll go further: I don't think anyone else from the Obama administration ever gets nominated. Not at this point. Emanuel's attitude is that the country wants a harder edge. That much is true, but they also want competence.
