Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He, like all old ass Northeasterners, also eats well done steaks with a side of unseasoned creamed whatever and something potato. It’s like they’re all perpetually on a cruise in 1965 and everything has to be overcooked and taste like shoe or air.
Source: Me. I did catering gigs in the Northeast for a hot minute. There’s obviously great restaurants in the Northeast but old rich people like shit I would feel bad about adding to pig slop.
It's not just the northeast, but it may be more prevalent there. It's an old people thing.
These are the people who were raised by moms who learned to cook in a time before widespread refrigeration and during the great depression. They learned to cook the utter dog shit out of everything for safety. So everything was very well done or cream of something that cooked until it fell apart. They made do with the bacteria laden food they could get their hands on. Even the ones that had the money to buy fresh daily worked off of similar recipes as their poorer contemporaries.
I don't talk much shit about it because I also eat some unwise and less than tasty things from my childhood because it's comforting.
Edit: I got to thinking about this a little and stand by it. However, I'll still make fun of Trump for the garbage he eats because he pretends to be some sort of taste maker. You can't sell steaks while being well known for eating a hockey puck with ketchup.
