Can we just take a moment to appreciate Myiq2xu and DeniseVB for keeping this blog going? It’s amazing how long we’ve been hanging out here, and our team is the BEST team. Thank you both for being so awesome!
Our commenters are also the BEST commenters–very much like a taco bowl at a certain Tower in NYC. 😉 This is an open thread.

Five days left to cast your vote!
Poll is still about 93% No regrets and Wish I had, Will vote Trump in Nov. WoW, 26k+ votes this morning.
Nice to see a lot of the comments are from people who didn’t vote for Trump, but have changed their mind based on a) his performance, and/or b) TDS in the media / redpilling.
Mike has tons of trolls following him, I’m surprised they couldn’t flip it. 😀
👍
Absolutely true, Lola!!!!!!
Well said, Lola!
I ❤ everyone here!
hurrah gor klown & Denise!!!!
Kudos to Klown, Denise and all the crawdad crew!
Great idea! We couldn’t do without either one of them on this site and should make sure they know how much we appreciate them.
Lola, nice shout out to Klown and Denise. They do indeed keep the place open 24/7 so all of us scattered about the TCH Universe can come and hang out at all hours.
And every time I see that picture, I want that taco salad. 🍲
I sooo want that taco salad. It looks delicious!
When hubby and I were in NYC this summer hubby simply HAD to go to Trump Tower. No taco bowl, but they had turkey and dressing with two veggies for like $8 or something like that. It was very, very affordable especially for NYC. It was quite good, although the plate was massive and I couldn’t eat it all. Two huge slices of turkey, I could have stopped with those.
I imagine the taco bowl is quite good based on the food we had. Stopping by there was one of the more enjoyable parts of our trip. It was a quiet respite. I didn’t expect it to be quiet or calming, but it was. There is a waterfall that is sort of white noise and soothing.
For small town folks NYC can be sensory overload, especially when you try to see it “all” in a short time span. So that little stop was quite welcome and as I said surprising. There really isn’t much there, but definitely the go to place for Trump items. Plus everybody there was super friendly, even the secret service.
One of my favorite pit stops in the city is having a refreshing beverage next to that water fall.
Sweet little story, Somebody.
I know that waterfall, too. It is soothing in the midst of all the noise.
Me too! Taco bowl yummy.
I want the Taco bowl and the refreshing beverage! Great post Woke Lola, Love this place.
Thank you to Myiq2xu and DeniseVB for keeping TCH going. Thank you Woke Lola for reminding us. And thanks for every comment and every commenter who makes them.
MYIQ and Denise have created a place of refuge for us here. That is appreciated every day. THANK YOU BOTH

interesting article
Wow!
I just read this thread from Thomas Wictor/Carlos Osweda. It is VERY interesting . . .
Those poor people. Fuck the bastages that shot them down.
Regardless of the truth, those poor victims! How terrifying it was for them. And how needless. 😢
I wonder was it an accident or were they trying to stop someone from leaving? we need to know exactly who was on the plane.
Thank you Myiq2xu and DeniseVB for keeping this refuge up and running. And also thank you everyone else. This place is like a secret doomsday bunker filled with sane, interesting and compassionate badasses. Thank you X100
True story, Happy 2020 to you all.
Thank you Denise and MyIQ2XU.
Watching a movie on Crackleand I have seen 2 Nanny bloomberg ads.
Seriously the last commercial break had 6 ads. Five were the same bloomie ad. How annoying.
I DVR every thing.,lol
Zoom right through the ads. 😆
I don’t think you can dvr a streamer? Check out any show on Crackle. It’s the same ad from bloomie over and over again. It is religiously pathetic. When it goes to a commercial break it will say one of six ads. Something random runs and then 5 times the same thing runs. Bloomie saying Trump people are sick of Trump and he is making America sick. It’s awful. I bet everyone watching is stoned. Check it out. You can watch Crackle without downloading anything.
Iran admits to shooting down jetliner. Says it was an accidental shooting
https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonwells/iran-accidentally-shot-down-ukrainian-jetliner
Iran didn’t blame President Trump! Iran is better than today’s Democrats.
No doubt about it! I think I’ll include this in my weekly “love” note to dick Durbin today.
Sounds to me like they are still blaming him.
“ Human error at time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster.”
The Dems have already been saying this – it would never have happened if Trump hadn’t “started” it.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Myiq2xu, DeniseVB and all TCHers for this little place of sanity in a crazy world.
In addition to being sane, this lovely place is also insightful, perceptive, intelligent, rational, truthful, honest, patriotic, remarkable, kindhearted, and friendly with a lot of common sense and humor in the mix.
Well said; I concur.
When I first started blogging I felt that I had a lot to say.
After 12 years of blogging (10 at TCH), I have about as many fresh and original ideas as a Hollywood screenwriter.
And thank you all for being here. I can’t afford group therapy.
Thank YOU!!! That shit is way overrated.
I disagree. I think group therapy is very effective. Especially in our case. 😘
Bill W. would agree with you.
Well yes I do agree in that respect, especially from the comfort of my own 🏠
It’s group therapy for all of us. Thanks!
❤
Some messages never get old, and we tend to forget, especially with the constant barrage of, ahem, news.
The barrage of age takes its toll, too. 😉
I have always enjoyed your writing style and fearless truthtelling during this crazy time for our nation. And the support of everyone here is unparalleled. We have helped each other through so much! #bonds
You provided a haven of sanity here from all the political nonsense. My first go-to blog in the morning. Thank you and all the savvy commenters here at TCH.
You still do have a lot to say myiq, don’t ever stop or the terrorists win. 😀
I bow to the divine in you! ❤
I am watching End Game with James Woods on Crackle ( free ad supported streaming) . Every other ad is nanny Bloomberg. I think crackle charges by the view so at least I know he’s throwing away some money. Terrible ad by the way.
How was the movie? I’ve never tried Crackle even though it is supported on my fairly antiquated wireless dvd player.
I fell asleep.
Crackle has a few okay movies and Seinfeld. It’s similar to tubi.
I have Prime and if there is something on another streamer I’ll get it for a month and then drop it.
I finished The Rook on Starz. I liked it, and I usually don’t watch Sci-fi.
Our president is not only brilliant – he’s cute too. 🙂

This story keeps getting worse.

Barack and Michelle Obama are advising Meghan and Harry on their new life outside the Royal Family… with Duchess set to copy their use of ‘star power’ to promote ‘humanistic projects’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7874861/Barack-Michelle-Obama-advising-Meghan-Harry-new-life-outside-Royal-Family.html
LOL, so Harry and Sparkle are going to become Snake Oil salesmen ? The only “humanistic project” the Obamas work on is enriching themselves.
Word.
I don’t think the o’s are as popular as they think they are. Let’s not forget his yuuuge college rallies had beer, pizza, and Dave Matthews. Mike was constantly on the cover in the checkout line. Did he increase sales? I’d buy a mag with Melania on it, alas no chance. I bet they’d sell out.
When I stumble on a Twitter Obama themed thread, it’s all about Muh President and First Lady Forever. WTF are those people smoking? Sometimes I check those bios, 3-50 followers???? Tells me they’re from OFA, not reality.
Are the Dog Eaters are producing a Netflix documentary called “Grifting for Dummies” feauturing Harry & Meghan?
Barry and Mooch are the dad Harry never had.
I’m trying to be nice today, so I won’t say anything.
But, but, but, the enviornment and starving orphans? TDS doesn’t care 😀
Where can I buy a box?!
Thanks for a great hangout place!r It’s a welcome hideout!

Wow! There she goes!
As seen on Twitter . . .
I laughed.
#MeToo 😉
LOL !
😂😁😂😂😂
This popped up when I checked Thursday and laughed out loud. Good thing everyone e,she had gone. Evidently these two now being worshiped by the bot crowd and will stop Brexit. Bu5 then they all think the UN should run the USA.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/11/five-reasons-meghan-markle-not-got-on-with-britain/
good points. I never got the thing about the press mistreating her. she always made sure she had the spotlight and sulked if she did not
I don’t think they’re going to “make it” as a couple. Especially now since she has effectively ripped him away from his family, his culture and his country. He really is a man without a country now.

Heroic Dad Leads Revolt to Pull Kids Out of School Mandating Trans Access to Opposite-Sex Bathrooms
https://pjmedia.com/trending/heroic-dad-leads-revolt-to-pull-kids-out-of-school-mandating-trans-access-to-opposite-sex-bathrooms/
I’m having a shitty morning.
Kitchen faucet is spraying the room. I go to home depot telling myself to go cheap as the kitchen needs to be redone. I spent a 100 more than I wanted. Went to wallyworld to buy replacement toothbrushes. A 170 dollar toothbrush. The replacements were 30. Ugh – I bought the wrong ones, but they were in those stupid impossible to open plastic things so I opened them with kitchen scissors. Wrong heads, can’t return. Next Sam’s where I promise myself I am only spending 50 to restock the freezer. Didn’t happen.
Look under the sink. No way in hell will I be able to change that. I can’t put together a weed whacker.
Is it too early to start drinking?
Call. The. Guy. 😉 Seriously, my retired contractor dh (second career) is finally calling The Guy for our electrical and plumbing problems. Simply because he can’t bend anymore. If he does, it takes me 2 days to get him off the floor. And seriously, we’ve saved money. Parts: 1.25, chiropractor/orthopedist $1200. The Guy: $85.
My favorite: Trying to save $45 Lowes installation fee for a new over-the-stove microwave. 3 days later (including removing the old one, rewiring for the new one so the kitchen doesn’t burn down, potential divorce costing dh half his retirement the rest of his life, my bitching and whinging, priceless)…….dh is a much smarter man now that I helped him find his new normal. 😀
I talked hubby into hiring a handy man to assist him with hanging his big TV. Hubby ended up hiring him to fix a door……wow turned a corner I thought. Door fixed quickly and inexpensively. So hubby hires same guy to fix window, not the same results. Still a work in progress (mostly done, drywall needs sanding). Dude has been working on it all week, started Monday. Honestly not that complicated, it so far has cost twice the home advisor cost estimate.
Clearly he’s taking advantage of the situation. We paid for supplies as agreed, don’t think he expected me to be a bitch. 4 sheets of drywall?? For the side of a 72 inch tall window? 8 2×4’s, dude you could reframe the entire set of double windows with that, 25 pound back of drywall mud mix……seriously, I was born at night, but not last night. Fine I’ll pay for it as agreed, but guess what I now own it.
Soooo, this has now soured hubby on hired help. God help me 🙁 There are a million things that need to be done around here that hubby has put off and put off. Today is plumbing day, see below.
Yesterday he replaced the ballast in the light in my closet. What a clusterfuck. My light has been out since before Thanksgiving. He didn’t care wasn’t his closet. I could bitch until the cows came home. The ONLY gift I got for my birthday was a new ballast for said light from my son.
Kids went back to school Monday, everyday my son says is the ballast changed, nope. Finally he says I’ll do it. Hubby no, no can’t have my son step on my man pride I’ll do it go away son.
OMFG, we couldn’t cut power to the light. The fixture also wasn’t grounded. I’m like call an electrician this is ridiculous. Hubby no, 👎 I got this…..me, how much is your life insurance? 😜
Finally yesterday he and my son tackled it. The fixture and the alarm are wired together. They are hard wired into the where the meter is, not into a breaker in the box. I guess so you can’t cut the power and attack me you’d have to cut the meter??? Somehow the battery backup flows back into the wires, so they had to disconnect the battery too.
It was a mess. I stood by with a 2×4, luckily the handy man bought extras see below. The whole time hubby and son are like WTF, I’m like don’t care change the ballast and leave it. They both insist this wiring needs to change…..whatever fix my fucking light and we’ll hire an electrician later fix my light no turning back now!!
Hubby was like you’re hoping I get a jolt so you have an excuse to hit me with that 2×4 aren’t you. I’m like, how could you say such a thing I’m standing by because I love you and want to protects you 😉
True story, my brother is a master electrician. He doesn’t do electrical work any more, he’s moved up in the world. Back when our house was built he used to moonlight for a friend that owns an electrical company. My brother did commercial work, his friend’s company did residential work and in fact did my house.
Code requires a master electrician be on sight and sign off. My brother used to moonlight and earn extra $$ sitting on his ass in his truck to be “on site” if an inspector showed up. My brother is the master electrician of record on my house. He knew it was my house, but still sat on his ass. I already made him fix a couple of things when we first moved in. Me thinks he’ll be getting another call😉 Could be a perfectly reasonable explanation, maybe it’s supposed to be like that just doesn’t seem right.
Anyway, hubby was all in on the handy man thing till the guy pressed his luck. Now I’m back to, I’ll do that honey promise…..in the year 2525. Of course then if he does proceed to fix something, it’s rarely straight forward and easy. But hey, life is supposed to be an adventure right?
Never.
It’s only to early to stop.
Prost 🍻
Must be home improvement day. My husband is changing out faucets and drains in our bathroom, be still my heart. Only needed fixing for months now. I shall refrain from complaining because it could be worse, I’ve been unable to use my laundry room sink for two years now 🙄
If you can’t hire someone Tim, there are tutorials online. Careful though one thing can lead to another…..now we need new valves according to DH. All I know is half a day so far without water. I’ve never wanted to live close to a gas station until today 😉 I could visit my neighbors I suppose, nah I’ll go shopping. Definitely, hubby just informed me he’s headed back to the store, wrong valves.
I remember at our last house when he changed the shower head, that eventually ended with the entire wall having to redone, the pipe kept breaking he’d chase it and break it again. That’s what hard water does 🙄
A few simple rules for life:
1. Take care of your teeth, feet, and core.
2. Always pay for an electrician or plumber. These are not DIY jobs.
3. Day drinking is recommended, but only twice a year.
3a. Unless there’s a boat involved, then you can drink at will.
I’d say you’re doing pretty well!
Here is some helpful info for a bad day. My Safeway had the leftover alcohol laced eggnog marked way down. Yum. You will feel much better if you buy some!
Today at 2:15 – Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) 🙂
Saturday is my TVLand Roseanne and Two and a Half Men day. I’m set til about 3 a.m. with my favorite classic comedies. Also, I welcome the commercials so I can get other stuff done.

Truthfully.
Anyone,……. anywhere.
Name someone who could walk a mile in President Trump’s shoes?
Seriously!! Think about it.
For that matter, name someone who could stand, let alone walk, in his shoes?
Truthfully.
7.7 billion people on this planet and no one even comes close.
There are lots of women (and a few men) who wish they could walk in Melania’s shoes, but if we let them they wouldn’t bring them back.
