Break out the coffee and pass the popcorn

So first there was this:


Then the orange shitgibbon started foaming at the mouth on twitter

Then the inevitable happened.

And now we have magidiots in halls of power, teargas, gunshots, and national guard has been called in. Exciting!

Update:

So apparently it takes actual sedition and coup attempts to get a response from social media. ‘S good to be the king…

Question:

Answer:

Update 2:
It’s done, it’s over, the fat lady has sung!

Yet, still the orange shitgibbon rages against the coming of the night (albeit via a mouthpiece who is not currently banned from Twitter)

1 medium yellow onion
500g green cabbage (about 1/2 medium head)
2 medium carrots
500g lean ground beef

1 tsp kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1L beef broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce

1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain white rice

Dice 1 medium yellow onion and place both in a bowl. Core and chop green cabbage into 1-inch pieces, peel and dice 2 medium carrots, and place both in second bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion, lean ground beef, and paprika. Season with kosher salt and black pepper and cook, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until the beef is cooked through and the onion is softened, about 10 minutes.

Not much left to the imagination

Posted on By admin

I bought some more running gear. I already had some, but not enough and I either had to do a load of laundry in between runs or re-wear sweaty stuff. I bought a pair of running tights.
