1/Straight talk on DeSantis. Why did he completely flip his position in a day on Ukraine? MONEY. He doesn’t have any himself. To run for POTUS he will need many large donors, some of which come from military-industrial complex, connected to neo-cons. His flip is bad sign…
2/Notice also Nikki Haley - who is an empty vessel without any convictions or ideas - immediately jumped on it, went on media and screamed for total Ukrainian victory and tied it to future conflict with China. Heard neocon radio today praising her for ‘leadership’…She wants $$..
3/DeSantis probably has the right instincts on foreign policy and doesn’t want war. But he’s also no foreign policy buff. His thing is woke stuff in Florida. And again he has no MONEY. So someone yanked his chain and said ‘back off the realist foreign policy or you’re done’…
4/Remember something similar happened with Scott Walker in 2015. He was pushed as a great hope, but when he needed to touch immigration to combat Trump, his donors said no. So he just dropped out b/c he would have NO MONEY…
5/The cold reality in this oligarchic society is that only someone of independent wealth and huge balls can challenge the status quo. DeSantis is fantastic governor, but this Ukraine thing shows he doesn’t have the $$ and doesn’t think he can stand up to donors and win…
6/And this is the hard reality none of the Twitter warriors (whom I like and generally agree with) promoting DeSantis can confront, and why bickering is so low IQ. The problem is the system - it’s a structural problem. DeSantis doesn’t have the independence to buck that system.
7/Epilogue. Here is an example of what I meant by the bickering being ‘low IQ.’ Notice also this thread never endorses Trump. It was making a deeper point about the system: Image

1/Let’s do a recipe, haven’t done one in a while. This is a simple Croque Madame, a simple French bistro dish. It’s just a glorified ham and cheese sandwich with a fried egg. But it’s very good, and you can do it at home relatively fast and cheap.
Image
Image
2/this is for 2. Take four pieces of sturdy white bread, spread 2 tbsp of butter total over both sides. Bake at 375 F for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Crack 2 eggs and put them in ramekins (any dish is fine of course) and hit with salt and pepper
Image
Image
3/make a mornay sauce. Melt 2 tbsp butter in small saucepan. When melted, add 2 tbsp of flour, combine. Then add in half a cup of heavy cream, half a cup of milk. Mix and boil. Remove from heat, add a cup (4 oz) of Gruyère cheese, salt/pepper, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of cayenne

1/Ok so let’s do Beef Bourguinion, cash in my promise. This is the finished product served over simple mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley. Directions…. Image
2/what you need. About 3.5 lbs of Chuck roast, cut into chunks and tossed with a tbsp of salt. 2 carrots, 2 onions roughly chopped, handful of thyme and parsley. A head of garlic cloves smashed. Tbsp of tomato paste, 1/2 tsp anchovy paste. 1 lb cremini mushrooms. 2 cups pearl onionsImage
Image
Image
3/you also need half a pound of salt pork cut into chunks. Place those in a roasting pan with the scraps of beef you don’t intend to use. Add in 2 tbsp butter, and roast for 15 minutes at 500 degrees. Then toss in 1/2 cup of flour and mix.

The judge in Derek Chauvin’s case refused to allow the jury to see pages from a police manual depicting the hold that Chauvin applied, which specifically called the knee on the neck/back as non-lethal. The jury didn’t know Chauvin was following protocol.

If this isn’t reversible error I don’t know what is. There was a picture in the manual showing exactly what Chauvin did. I just learned this, and it underscores even more that Judge Peter Cahill manipulated the trial to get a guilty verdict.
There are a whole bunch of PowerPoint slides you can see. They’ve been posted to a Google drive. But here are a couple examples.

1/Crème brûlée has a reputation for sophistication but is simple and easy. Good desert to make in advance. Directions if you want to do it below: Image
2/ this recipe is for 4 servings in shallow dishes of about 5 oz. You want two cups of heavy cream, and 5 tbsp of sugar. Place them in a sauce pan and bring to light boil, dissolve the sugar, and then pull from heat to cool for at least 5 minutes. Image
3/ in meantime take 6 egg yolks, whisk them with 1 tsp vanilla. When cream mixture is cooled down, mix it in bit by bit, whisking as you go.

1/ Ok, as promised here is a recipe for doing a hearty Reuben Sandwich at home. Finished product below with a shredded Brussels sprout salad. Directions further down (this is for 2 sandwiches):
Image
2/ so I don’t buy sliced deli meat. I take a brisket (you can do it yourself or get one from the store) and prepare it. Later cut it into slices and chunks:
Image
Image
3/ you will want a sauce. The way I do it is I add about 1/3 cup of mayo, a couple tbsp of cocktail sauce, several sweet gerkins diced, a splash of apple cider vinegar, stir it up Image

1/Ok, so I said I would give details. This is very easy, everyone does it his way, but see below if interested:
2/ I used a small red apple, small onion, 4 bratwursts (there will be leftover kraut for another 4), and 3 thick strips of bacon. Peel and dice the apple, slice the onion into thin strips, cut the bacon into 1/4 inch pieces
Image
Image
3/ render the fat from the bacon in small Dutch oven. Remove pieces, then cook the onion until soft in the bacon fat. Add the apple and cook for another few minutes till soft
