I think it was because Helsinki was so bizarre, but on top of that there was a clear narrative set up. There was a clear setup for a "Trump repudiates Putin in attempt to put Russia Issue behind him" that I'm sure a dozen journalist already had the story written.

Then the day comes and Trump just... didn't do it. I feel like part of the breathlessness was because we were getting the editor approved version of Hot Takes that conflicted with a week's worth of administrative prep. Also the collective head slap of Republican politicians as they mutter "You had one fricking job".

Pretty much, Helsinki was a layup for Trump. Everyone on the right expected big strong daddy to go there and say his usual 'I wanna be friends with everyone' bullshit but also 'but yea if they mess with us we'll hold them accountable' and that would be all they need to go 'see no collusion it's all handled you're all dumb' for another month.

He completely botched it though, and then botched the rear end covering. It's really amazing, I don't even give a poo poo about Russia poo poo and I loved it just because it was such a great series of own goals.

I have never seen anyone argue very well WHY Chicago style isn't pizza.

The only main differences:

1) much thicker crust(good, since bread is the best ingredient)
2) the meat, rather than spread over the top in pieces, is one solid layer
3) The meat is underneath the cheese

If you want bad pizza in Illinois order some loving Monocles. God drat I hate monocles so much and my in-laws order it every time

Trump's entire team was against the Helsinki trip from the start, especially as it had no clear policy goals or agenda. It was Trump's idea start to finish.

I think my favorite conspiracy dude actually isn't in the q unified theory.



Andy knows about all this because he was part of a group of children sent to Mars and elsewhere via Tesla teleporters and time machines. However Obama was also one of the participants and isn't particularly sinister in this story so it probably can't be fitted into all the deep dish state nonsense very well. He does also want the government to release their info on bigfoot and plenty of other theories in q's chart so his possible omission is disappointing.

Kubrick shot the footage on location on the moon

Andy would probably be agreeable to that idea. He's said he's not sure whether the moon landing was real, and wouldn't you be skeptical of using rockets to get there when you could just blip on over to the moon in your Tesla-porter anytime?

As resident Pizza historian I am here to settle your pizza concerns: Deepdish is an evolution of "pan" pizza, and is very good. My personal favorite deepdish is Lou Malnati's because it's a literal Frisbee of sausage atop a butter crust with cheese and sauce.
NY's floppy pizza is closer to the original pizzas because that's clearly the food of the proletariat.
California pizza is trash. Period.
Most other regions have varying degrees of convergent evolution from Neopolitan pizza to what amounts to a crispier frozen pizza.

It's like tying in a stupid frat's hazing rituals as part of a global conspiracy.

I had dinner at club 33 when I was a teenager. A company took my mom there to try to woo her into working for them. One of their young employees that was able to come along got drunk and puked off of the Club 33 balcony during Fantasmic.

It wasn’t a great career move for him.

She didn’t take the job.

Well thankfully Republicans have a dedicated propaganda wing to explain how this is really nothing. Then the personality cult covers the rest.
Maybe the regular people that vote R aren't all shitbags that vote based on a single issue like guns or because Republicans oppress the gently caress out of "others" while the dummies ignore they get it too, but jesus christ the fact they'd vote for this orange dyed gently caress stick in a lovely suit with all the bullshit he pulled prior, during, and after election and aren't out there screaming for him to knock it the gently caress off makes them shitbags

re: food authenticity.

No food is authentic and all food evolves and if you go to the real country a food is from they neither eat the americanized version NOR typically the traditional food people in the US talk about as 'authentic' and generally have their own food evolution just as much as we have had.

Only pizza I've had that really doesn't encourage me to go for more are the super low fast food versions like Little Caesar's and Hungry Howie's. Caesar's was good long ago, and Howie's is just spaghetti sauce and sliced cheese on a piece of toast.

I really don't get it, like at all. And I say that as someone that literally grew up in an Italian+Sicilian family in Bensonhurst and as someone who also makes pizza from scratch once a week like my folks did.


I used to think the hostility to fish/seafood on a pizza was bizarre because that's literally been at thing forever, but I can at least understand that like okay yeah someone dislikes seafood obviously they wouldn't want it on a pizza and be grossed out by it. But the actual hostility and anger people have about pineapple is just crazy.

Ham (or its close cousin, "Canadian bacon") is a top-tier pizza topping. Pineapple is also great, just not on pizza. It should be, ideally, mixed with rum. Pineapple on pizza is a waste, just like this dumb pizza derail in the thread about our big smart president who totally didn't do a whole bunch of crimes and then tweet about them.
