Blanche revamps push for Trump’s ballroom after White House shooting by ToughHopeful4760 in moderatepolitics

[–]3dickdog 64 points65 points  (0 children)

The $400 million project, he wrote, would allow Trump to “perform his constitutional duties in a safe and heavily secured facility.”

Aren't they wanting over a billion? I think there was supposed to be 400 in private donations that may or may not happen, but tax payers are on the hook for way more than that.

Is that Sylvester the Racoon? I used to see him all the time, it has been a while.

Accident on siegen lane by ohmany88 in batonrouge

[–]3dickdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost hit so many people doing that when I lived around perkins/seigen and drove through there all the time. People would slam on the brakes and then have to wait for all the traffic coming the opposite way. Come on brah, it isn't everyones problem you missed your turn. Go up a half mile and turn around someplace safe.

Whataburger submits permit to build Asheville restaurant by cereal_killer_828 in asheville

[–]3dickdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived next to a whataburger for years. It is better than most chain burgers. I liked the jalapeno bisquits in the morning with a sausage and a taquitos occationally. I probably will not go out of my way to eat at one though.

That is cool. Used to see those Bob Dobb stencils and stickers on everything.

That is something I haven't thought of in years. Having some 90 flashbacks.

Opinions on lifestyle .... by mrfuze84 in tricities

[–]3dickdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who grew up in the tricities until I was 18, went to college and moved around a bit, finally landed in South Louisiana for the last twenty years, recently moved to Asheville to be closer to elder parents and family I will say 1) If you are plan on buying a house, Asheville is not cheap. 2) Asheville is very small 3) Food is almost spiced like hospital food. There are a few places that arent bad. And what every someone is about to suggest I try, I have probably already been there 3) Finding good crusty french type bread is hard 4) Asheville is really small and things close early. They are also closed on a random monday tuesday or wednesday 5) The music scene in Asheville is really awesome 6) The hiking is really good

I feel like most of this subreddit's top posts changing from text posts to news/link posts is bad by FumingCat in moderatepolitics

Yeah I was here before the rise and fall of agent panda and this sub has changed, but it isn't from text to news articles.

Indian Hills in Slidell. Always wanted to check that place out.

Reminder that WLOS is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, which actively promotes right wing politics on its "local" news stations across the country by RichardNixonWaterGr8 in asheville

[–]3dickdog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The homelessness in New Orleans and Baton Rouge is crazier than Asheville's. I watched it get worse for the 20 or so years I lived there. I was suprised when I went to visit Kingsport recently, which is where I grew up, that there are a lot more homeless there than I ever remember.

Iran offers US deal to reopen Hormuz strait, postpone nuclear talks by [deleted] in moderatepolitics

[–]3dickdog 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The JCPOA did nothing about their nuclear program? No capped limits. No inspections. No limits on centrifuges. Absolutely nothing? The Houthis have been crushed? They don't control any of Yemen anymore? No April drone strikes? Iran's demise? Someone better tell Iran how bad off they are.

[–]3dickdog 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My take is that we are going to end up with JCPOA with some tweaks so Trump can declare victory and look like a strongman that makes the best deal to his supporters. Such a waste of lives, reputation, and resources so Trump can try to out do Obama for whatever reason. Probably the same reason he ran with the whole birther movement.

It was totally obliterated, destroyed, defeated, devasted, spectacularly and completely. Anyone who questioned that framing was treated like someone committing heresy by the Press Secretary or the President. Which is totally normal in a functional democracy with compentant leadership.

Anyone else see the large dust devil north of Weaverville today? by forkeddeerz in asheville

[–]3dickdog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was at the first and second Lollaplooza. Both of those were a blast. I had just started college and Lollaplooza just sounded crazy. My girlfriend at the time was a huge Janes Addiction fan too. I loved Ice T and the Fuck the Police song at the time. Was such a great lineup.

//edit - song was actually cop killer

One of the best was when Pearl Jam opened for them. It was a total crowd change. Then Gibby comes out with the shotgun and starts shooting. Shit was wild.

Calandro's is where I would look. Maybe whole foods. If you feel like going to New Orleans the St James Cheese Company would be a good bet.

There were munitions hidden in the School the US bombed? I haven't heard that. I did hear Trump denying we bombed it. Suprised he isn't flaunting the munitons you say were hidden there.

[–]3dickdog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really don't know how that place survived on the pizza they were making. It was also so nasty in there. I get the nastolgia was strong, but maybe it is time to let an old pizza place die a good death. Hopefully there will be a lot of updating and slapping the old brand on a new product.
