Ugh, even if the entire US government woke up tomorrow, apologized to all of our allies, signed peace treaties with everyone to show we were serious, AND ended all wars forever, I'd still stand by this meme.

I did 6 months in Germany, and I had doner near fucking weekly.

Doner boxes are fucking fantastic, and simply god tier after a few Dunkels.

 

Pastor Jamal Bryant out here truly doing the Lord's work! Using his platform for good and giving up Target for lent!

I didn't grow up in Texas but I live here now, and my first thought reading the headline was: "JFC this place is so fucking stupid."

The 10th - 14th is an Amazon blackout. No purchasing from them specifically for the entire week.

To think that vein popped because she was promised a helicopter arrival to her party and Anthony didn't deliver. His coworkers coming in the background and shutting the door to the conference room, giving these two the side-eye while they were arguing sent me. The level of delusion this woman had was next level and I just remember sitting there at the time being like "Is this what rich people are like?"

Haha, the fans remembered this from the premiere to the end of season reunion. Andy Cohen brought it up a lot in the comments, lmao. I think we all legit thought we were going to witness this woman literally "pop a vein" on live TV at the time. So fucking campy, I love it.

Lmao! Thank you! This is such a sweet comment, and I too love when I can feel someone get super stoked over something "silly" online. Something wholesome about just knowing that a legit person is on the other side of the computer getting happy over something inconsequential, haha.

Finally! My time on Lemmy has come! For those who do not know, the phrase "Who Gon' Check Me Boo?" was uttered by none other than Sheree Spring-Summer-Winter-Joggers Whitfield, of Real Housewives of Atlanta fame, while arguing with her party planner during the Season 2 premiere in 2009. The phrase temporarily shut down the man's argument, before the conflict then escalated to the point that both were shouting at one another, leading to the iconic vein popping out of Ms. Bone-Collector Whitfield's neck.

(I know that's not the point of this post, but the Bravo communities are the thing I miss the most about the other bad place, so when I see a RH reference, I fucking jump on it)

Oh I believe that 100%!

I suppose I'm a little more patient with it because I went through the same change myself, AND because I like people (finally) pointing out that we do have a system for socialized healthcare in America!

I mean, tbf, joining the military IS what made me start looking into the concept of Socialism and what it means.

Is the military socialism? No, us Enlisted have no power and the Officer corps is the "owning class", but we have good, tax payer funded social benefits that I believe everyone should have access to.

It's like a gateway drug into anti-capitalism idealogies. If the US is never going to go full socialist (or at least not in our lifetimes), then I think raising taxes and giving everyone TRICARE, VA Loan benefits, tuition assistance, and a pension will go a long way in solving most people's biggest fears/relieving a metric fuckton of oppression caused by capitalism.

Also, having been to the Middle East and seen firsthand the stark difference of people driving around Ducatis and Lambos, parking in front malls inlaid with real gold, while 10 minutes up the road whole communities had built their shack homes in the desert with random odds and ends and thrown blankets over their windows was...I cant really describe the feeling I got. Dread, anger, immense sadness, just a whole myriad of negative emotions. Couple that with the intense religious fervor that is rampant in the region, and yeah, I have no idea how a military member can look at all that and be like "This. This is what America needs."

Granted, yes, unfortunately a lot of our service men and women are still unfortunately extremely pro-Capitalism/Trump and Elon Musk fanboys...I just don't know how.

Either way, my comment got long, but when people start in on the "The Army is Socialist!" Dont be mad. Educate! They're at the very least coming from a place of "Fuck, we really could make everyones lives better if we give everyone these benefits that we enjoy so much!" And that shows compassion for others, which is something so fucking desperately needed right now.

And its fucking CRAZY how that happened. People can argue that "Beyonce isn't a country singer" all they want, but her song "YA YA" off the Cowboy Carter album (my favey fave off the album) is an incredible song with just her powerful lungs alone, however, the lyrics are shit that White Conservative Country Music People should eat up:

"My family live and died in America, hm Good ol' USA, shit (Good ol' USA) Whole lotta red in that white and blue, huh History can't be erased, ooh You lookin' for a new America? (America) Are you tired, workin' time and a half for half the pay? (Half the pay) Ya-ya (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh) I just pray that we don't crash, keep my Bible on the dash We gotta keep the faith"

And in a later verse she talks about staying strapped with a pistol on her hip and a Bible in her hands.

Like...this is exactly the type of shit these people literally dream about.

 

Our boarder gets the most photogenic pictures of our dogs, I swear.

 

Sucks that there isn't a Bravocon for 2024, but I guess this gives me the time to start putting money away now!

Being held at Caesers Palace again in Las Vegas, NV!

 

CW: US Politics. IG Reel from The Late Show's official IG page with a fake interview starring Day One Dictator himself: Donald Trump

 

Just wanna know, whose watching the game and from where?!?!

 

Defend Texas Liberty donated $3M to support Dan Patrick's campaign. Dan Patrick will be deciding what evidence is admissible during Paxton's trial, as he will be presiding over it. Dan Patrick is also not up for re-election until 2026.

 

Holy snap, that's steep! I was contemplating the "Future Bravolebrity" but that's out of my wallet range atm 😂. I think I'm for sure gonna budget for the basic entrance though.

I've never been to BravoCon and I'm made stoked about going!

 

My girlfriend and I are anxiously awaiting these ticket prices. She's a Bravoholic, I only watch the RH Franchises.

Anyone else considering going? I'm pretty stoked because I lived in Vegas for 4 years so it's a chance to go visit my old haunts/friends!
