Vegetables are quite grillable, I do it all year.

Corn on the cob
Green and yellow zucchini length-wise strips
Eggplant slices
Asparagus
Red onion, mushroom and peppers kabobs
Baked potatoes
Okra
Carrots
The list is endless

[Centerfield]

Just saw clips of the RNC. Haley. DeSantis. All of them kissing the ring.

This party of Trump is going to steamroll this hapless Democratic Party.

Fuck social media and partisan cable news for turning this into a country of assholes. We are about to get everything we deserve.

[metirish]

I saw someone say recently, there is an old saying, Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love

[kcmets]

It's fucking maddening, depressing and making me physically ill at times.

01/24: Trump calls Haley "Birdbrain."
07/24: Haley slurps on Trump's nut sack on national television.

I keep waiting for Rod Serling to pop up on the screen.

I received my Irish passport earlier this year, so I can flee to anywhere in the EU.

Face it, the price of admission to Trump's RNC is your soul. Vance, Haley, Cruz and others sold it for pennies on the dollar.

Mike Johnson criticized Joe Biden last week for not being able to speak without a teleprompter. Last night Johnson's stopped in the middle of his speech and walked offstage because of -wait for it- a teleprompter glitch.

I've had a built-in gas grill on my deck for 32 years. Love it and use it year round. Brots and steaks are favorites.

[metsmarathon]

we're likely to have a deck added to our house in the near future. if so, we're absotively running a gas line to the grill.

Please remind me what Kamala called Biden on the debate stage prior to being his choice for VP. This isn't a "Trump thing", it is politics as usual

[Edgy MD]

What did she call him?

Lol, not sure but I am sure-as-shit Kamala didn't suck on anyone's
nut sack just to shine in front of the cameras for Joe like Haley did
for Donald -- just to get a seat on his giant coat tail...

[kcmets]

Excuse me, I meant slurp not suck haha...

[MFS62]

You do paint a vivid picture.
LOL!

Trump was calling Haley "Birdbrain" (when he wasn't calling her Nancy Pelosi) for months and months. I doubt that Harris said anything that crude, and that often, about Biden.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Who gives a fuck? Trump's ahead in every poll and increasing his lead daily. The GOP thinks it's gonna win in November by a landslide. At this rate, soon enough, Biden's only path to victory will require him to win Texas. It's all going to hell in a handbasket. Biden's like one day away from conflating Kamala with Uncle Fester. And now the Dems decided that they're not allowed to criticize Dear Leader anymore because somebody tried to kill him. Where the hell is the Lincoln Project? Only GOP defectors can fix this mess because only the GOP knows how to fucking talk to the average voter.

[MFS62]

I've been saying for years that the Democrats don't know how to message to the "guy in the street".
I still remember watching Hillary's campaign speeches. In the crowd behind her in Michigan and Pennsylvania there was never one white male face. Not one. Check the old tapes.
By trying to be inclusive, the party message skipped a key voting bloc, blue collar workers, in key battleground states. And it was a losing message.
"Working man Joe" Biden is a little better at it, but they still aren't forceful enough on key issues.
If they had the GOP writers, they'd know how to stay on message and be pounding away on Women's issues, Authoritarianism and voting rights.

Everyone knows Trump pays some of his non-Caucasian rah rah
crowd to appear at his functions, right? Didn't he get caught on a
hot mic many years ago saying something like I give them a bucket
of chicken and some free shirts and they love me?

[MFS62]

I still remember commenting to my wife that I didn't see any.
I must have missed those rallies.
But I knew you'd check.
Later

[Edgy MD]

You actually invited us to check.

[MFS62]

I know I did.
That was quick. You're really good at that.
You should get a job as a fact checker for the networks.
Unfortunately, the current GOP candidates are are going to keep someone in that job very busy. ( getting us back on the news topic)

Gonna grill a bunch of kielbasa, onion, potato and red pepper kabobs.
Propane tonight. Already have the special sauerkraut ready.

[nymr83]

Doesn't everything else cook quicker than the potatoes?

[kcmets]

Baby red potatoes are par boiled and on their own kabobs
wrapped in a foil sleeve with butter and garlic slices.

This isn't my first rodeo, hombre...
