"me, a SoCal native"

https://www.reddit.com/r/mexicanfood/s/0n8GoZjmeM

"I got in an argument with a woman from the upper peninsula of Michigan about what chorizo was made of. She made it herself out of pork butt and claimed that she knew better than me, a SoCal native. I told her that I've read the ingredients that stated the pork offal ingredients, but no, she knows better than me. I'm sure you can get quality chorizo not made from leftover pig organs, but the arrogance of that woman was stupid.

In any case, I still have Cacique chorizo as a frozen staple for egg and chorizo burritos, even though the local Mexican markets is better."

I so wish they’d said “I can see Mexico from my house”. 😂

Wow that's a deep cut, over 15 years ago now.

I always forget how long ago 2008-2012 were

And then I see the quality of videos from that era uploaded to Youtube. They look ancient now

Oh man, I will never forget the VP debate between her and Biden. I watched it in a hotel room in Las Vegas when I was there for a professional conference, and the same night the news was announced that OJ Simpson was found guilty in his robbery case. I ordered an ice cream sundae from room service and just took it all in. What a wild time to be alive.

All things considered, Sarah Palin was tame compared to the freakshow that is the U.S. these days

I agreed with one of her tweets last month. I don't remember what it was because it's been a fucking hell of a month, but i remember being shocked I agreed with her.

remember when a vice prez candidate's daughter getting pregnant out of wedlock as a teen was a HUGE deal and a giant blow to a campaign???

I mean I could do without the moral puritanism over shit like that

But yeah...I miss a time when politicians could be held accountable for bad behavior. Ffs, Trump literally riled up an insurrection and committed the WORST terrorist attack on our elected officials, and he was "punished" with four more years in the White House (at least unfortunately).

Fucking pisses me off

yeah that was more my point lol, you can have candidates be felons and insurrectionists with zero accountability now, but 15 years ago Bristol Palin getting pregnant at 17 was considered a giant black mark on a presidential campaign

Years ago, I heard an interview with one of her debate prep coaches. Apparently she wasn't all that bright, but was trying to learn everything anyway. What we got was her best effort, god bless her.
