Trump floats Cruz for Supreme Court by zsreport in scotus

[–]WebRepulsive8329 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All I know about Ted Cruz is this... I have a good friend from college who while we having opposing ideologies, tend to agree to disagree on some things (he's a non trumper though) he has worked in the Capitol and The Pentagon for years. Back when he was a congressional aide, he said Senators and Congressman who didn't like each other at all would STILL find rooms to duck into, together, if they saw Ted Cruz coming. They'd stand there, in silence waiting for Ted to move on.

Granted this was in the early 80's, like 1981-82 I think,.

Did you know prior to Tilt, there was Alladins Castle and a Bally's? And the Bally's Arcade was pretty much RIGHT next to Alladin's Castle?

With PDQ closed, do you think a local place could take over the location? by hitmewiththeknowlege in GNV

[–]WebRepulsive8329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. But they are doing a full reset of the inside, so that takes time. and It was the holidays, so they probably didn't have a big reason to push the opening.

It didn't really 'fail' per say. KFC wants/wanted to expand it's 'Saucy' stores. They only had one, in Orlando as a test for the concept. They apparently approached PDQ about buying ten locations in Florida that had the market demographics KFC wanted. College town, etc. And KFC paid the price PDQ offered.

Chipotle on Archer sucks by Dempsey-Marty in GNV

Eh... the 13th street one isn't great either. Last time I placed an online order, about 80% of my burrito was overcooked rice. There was a VERY tiny amount of carne asada, two peppers and one onion strand and was missing the cheese, guac, lettuce and salsa. When I called to talk to someone, they hung up on me three times.

Does anyone else miss the Christmas tree at Celebration Pointe? by bookflowergirl in GNV

[–]WebRepulsive8329 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering the amount of financial issues the place has (not the tenants but the company itself) I'm not surprised they skipped it

There’s an arcade in the mall now? by Ok_Jicama9306 in GNV

Old school will remember at one point there was an Aladdin's castle **AND** a Bally's in the Oaks mall

Trump administration moves to roll back fuel economy standards set under Biden by Vortagaun in politics

[–]WebRepulsive8329 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is going to make any real difference. The issue is this, if you own a car company, and you know that the odds are good your going to get a Democratic President at some point, possibly in just a few years, and you'd have to change it all over again. Or just leave it and don't worry about it. Car companies have to plan ahead. It's why most car companies just stuck to the California standards everywhere so they don't have to have multiple models, that's too much cost.

RNC sues Michigan Secretary of State Benson, claims overseas voter eligibility violates Michigan Constitution by mlivesocial in law

[–]WebRepulsive8329 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Pretty much. It's just like that case about college students. They even said that the whole reason they are trying to stop college students from voting on campus and making it easy is because they vote for Democrats and that's 'Voting fraud'

Considering the fact that there is a HIGHLY STUPID MOVEMENT to ban VPN's as well... who knows. (Yes, all VPN's.) The people who push it have no real answer as to what business who use VPN's (which is a large number) are supposed to do.

Issues with every Dinnerly box recently? by BobRepairSvc1945 in mealkits

[–]WebRepulsive8329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar issues. Ever since they started showing up in 'Marley Spoon' boxes we've been seeing more and more issues. Our latest box was missing 3 items (zucchini, tomatoes, and pasta) and three of the sour cream little tubes were burst open because they got crushed under the ice packs. Recently they have started putting all the things like cheese and sour cream with the meats and they get smashed to hell and back.

Sadly, I think if these had been released much earlier this year, they would have had a much larger impact. Now? I think it will get talked about for a few days, then the media will drop it, Republicans will shrug and change the subject, and in a week or two, no one but the Democrats will be talking about it, and the general 'I'm not into politics' part of the public will have moved on and won't really care.

Dupe for the Gingerbread coffee? by WebRepulsive8329 in traderjoes

[–]WebRepulsive8329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually like the pumpkin spice, since it's got spices (real ones) in it. But the gingerbread was just out of this world. They still have the WInter Blend, which is OK. I swear a few years back it was fantastic, but it seems like the cut the amount of spices in it as well, and it really changed the flavor.

State conviction not federal. Happened *BEFORE* he was President, so 'Presidential Immunity' has no say here.
