Mackerel is great too! If you like mackerel you should definitely try some sardines in olive oil. I recommend the King Oscar sardines in olive oil as a easy to acquire starter. The smaller the sardine, the better their flavor and texture tends to be. Bigger sardines tend to get a bit more flaky and mellow in the can.

Wait, being convicted ends political careers? Hitler and Trump wore their convictions with honor and used them to gin up support to great effect. Who’s to say Le Pen doesn’t somehow do the same?

Well said. We need to unite to counter this stuff. The right is definitely united. Fascism is very attractive to the average voter.

Saltines with sardines, mmmm.

They’ve already installed a guy that hasn’t been vetted and cleared that is tearing out the guts of our government at his whimsy and without oversight. They’re breaking the law in egregious ways and getting away with it in real time. There is only one way left to hold these people accountable.

Just heard an interview on BBC radio this morning with an American explaining that there are avenues for Trump to do this by abusing the line of succession. It sounds like they want to appoint him as Speaker of the House and then have the president and vice president abdicate.
