@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim! Friday night. It's time for Washington Week With the Atlantic. This time I'm eating a freshly made garden salad with sauteed chicken strips and drinking water. I need some veggies. I really want some squash and zucchini with onions.

We are rotating seafood into our dinner meal 2 or 3 times a week. Tonight spaghetti Alfredo with shrimp. Yum.

@cookncolorado.bsky.social Do you cook squash or zucchini with onions? If you do I bet it taste like pure heaven. I would pay you to fix me some right now..lol. I need to eat some veggies. I've been killing fast food this week. Probably this weekend also.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, I hate it for the people who got laid off today at the Washington Post. Trust me when I tell you it's no fun. I got laid off three times from jobs in the past. Two of them were w/o notice. Yet the owner had money to pay for MT movie which is 🤢🤮.

The fishmonger had great red snapper yesterday. Tonight it settled into a creamy Cajun sauce with polenta. I’m not mad at it!

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social The DOJ purposely left the victims of Epstein's abuse unredacted in the file dump. They are some sick bastards! And I bet they did it at the direction of Trump. I hope they all burn in hell.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, when you were growing up in Minnesota during the summer did your mom use a clothesline to hang out/dry clothes? My mom did. I miss having a clothesline. Especially when the electric bill comes due. My mom had the real steel wire and wrapped them around oak trees.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, the Epstein files are way way worse than anyone could have ever expected. It's like the rich and powerful were operated a sex trafficking ring. And other countries got video tape of these rich and powerful people and holding it over their heads.

The Melania film bombed so hard I’m surprised Kristi Noem hasn’t declared her a domestic terrorist.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim. Dude! It's almost time for Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS. I'm going to watch that while munching down on my triple bacon burger with fries man. Oh and a baja blast mountain dew.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Got home yesterday about 4pm just scanned on the cable news channels. Stopped at CNN then they panned over to Scott Jennings on the panel, changed the channel and listened/watched the old TV show called The Rookies while winding down. I think it was a show from the 70's.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social With all the technology today like cell phones it just makes my blood boil what people w/power got away with back in the day b/c people had no proof. Things done to both blacks and whites.

Hey Senate Democrats. Those of you who voted to confirm Kristi Noem should be ashamed of yourselves. You knew she was the wrong person for the DHS job, yet you confirmed her anyways. And you wonder why many Dem voters look at you sideways with a stink eye.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, I'm sorry I know we are suppose to move on but every time I see Eddie Glaude on MSNOW I can't listen to him. I know he NOW has a change of heart but he was brutal back in 2016 toward Hillary Clinton. I can't forget that. Never. He isn't the only one either.

@cookncolorado.bsky.social What a contrast in differences of the weather in Denver. I'm watching the Broncos and Patriots and the weather looks so gloomy. Last week it was absolutely beautiful when they played the Bills.

My Mexican grocery had quail in the case last week. Made an Adovada marinade with achiote paste and chipotles. Baked in the oven so I could stay inside. My mom’s rice and green Chile casserole on the side.

There is no way the World Cup or the 2028 Olympics should be played in America. No way.

Not sure anyone can pull that off this time

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social I fixed myself some breakfast yall! I haven't cooked myself any breakfast for about 8 months. My breakfast usually is the vending machine at work. Chips, soda pop and a candy bar.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social Big Jim, Dennis, Scott Jennings gets paid by CNN to be and act like a dick. Everyone knows it and he made the choice to do it. When we see the light again and we will SJ will try to do a 180 and pivot. We can't let him. The man is unwatchable.

It has been a beautiful weekend! It’s really dry here, we may suffer in the summer! Here’s a sunset from last week, friend.

@cookncolorado.bsky.social I forgot to message you yesterday. I watch the Denver/Buffalo game yesterday and it was so beautiful looking in Denver. The crystal blue skies with the mountains it was absolutely breath taking.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social The GOP is full of sh*t. They will never impeach Trump over Greenland. IF and a very strong IF they do that leaves JD Vance who is even more of a nutcase. This entire administration got to go. Every last one of them.

I’m still trying to think of what to give him ……

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @wagmore.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social We had many black men who didn't vote for KH and many blacks who didn't vote at all in my state of NC. I'm calling all of their asses out. It didn't have to be like this.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, I really like watching the news show on PBS called Washington Week with The Atlantic when I can. No yelling, all news.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, governor Walz looks beat up and worn down man. You can tell all of this of what's happening in Minnesota is weighing on him heavily. Be safe Big Jim.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @wagmore.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social I didn't realize how EASY it is to purchase a AR15 in North Carolina. My cousin want me to arm up like him for protection. I don't know about an AR15😬. I don't let them.

My dad died at age 57 in 1979, my oldest brother died at age 57 in 2017. I am age 57. Does it run in the family. Is my time up.

Temporary power, permanent consequences 💥

@cookncolorado.bsky.social I did healthy and unhealthy 😀. I can't help it. I would love to bake but so tired when I get home from work pan frying is quicker. I know it’s bad for you. If I was your neighbor I know you would keep me in line. And I would listen to you! For real!

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, why doesn't the gov of Minnesota deploy the National Guard to protect the citizens of Minnesota? Legal matter and can't do it, don't want to do it, don't want confrontations with ICE. ICE is going from house to house like the Nazi's did.

Second time I’ve had fish this week. Grouper filet with Buerre Blanc and wild rice. I think I’ll keep going this way.

@cookncolorado.bsky.social @jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social I tried an attempt at fried whiting fish. I overcooked the potatoes for my potato salad. Almost had mashed potatoes potato salad 😬. And I tried to eat a healthy salad. I should be eating baked fish.

@cookncolorado.bsky.social This is some bullshit if it's true.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Why are Democratic senators voting to confirm Trumps nominees! These are not normal times! WTF! Are they living in the Twilight Zone! Dam!

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social you know what really pisses me off. This administration didn't hesitate to call this young lady a domestic terrorist. After January 6, some Dems and media didn't call those people domestic terrorist They were!

@tify330.bsky.social More women are needed in Democratic leadership like this congresswoman.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Big Jim, WTF! These people have gone full blown nuts.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social What's not being talked about right now? The Epstein files. This weekend and the talk about Greenland is a deflection.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social I'm sorry Big Jim but listening to clips of Chuck Schumer on Morning Joe yesterday was like watching paint dry on a wall. Senate Republicans are NEVER going to cross Trump. If Schumer hasn't learned this by now he really does need to go.

@denniscolehill.bsky.social @jamespmanley.bsky.social

@cookncolorado.bsky.social I thought our own military would not follow unlawful orders but now I'm not so sure. I got this uneasy feeling if that Demon Steven Miller tells Trump to invade Greenland, Canada or Mexico our military would do it. Miller is the master puppet, not Trump.

Does anyone else notice this pattern from the Trump administration? They aren't f'ing with countries who have nuclear arsenals.

@denniscolehill.bsky.social @jamespmanley.bsky.social @wagmore.bsky.social At what point will the people of America say ENOUGH of this lunatic. After he does the same to Canada, Greenland or the UK? We are well past the breaking point. My friends in England and Canada are looking at us like WTF!

George Clooney can go kick rocks. Barefooted.

I will NEVER watch CBS news again. My grandpop loved it when Walter Cronkite was the evening news anchor. We are totally in pure ass hell now.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social Gentlemen, I call this work w/what you find n the fridge 😂.This junk is made up of 2 pieces of smoked sausage, a bell pepper, 1/4 of a onion I found. Leftover potatoes and whole beans.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland. Them two alone could have stopped all of what's happening now. Both could have stopped that maniac before the 2024 election. McConnell, I knew why he chose not to, money and power. But Merrick Garland, I will never understand why.

@jamespmanley.bsky.social @cookncolorado.bsky.social @weathergeek68.bsky.social @denniscolehill.bsky.social @wagmore.bsky.social Happy News Years gentlemen! I found an affordable porterhouse steak. It was 11 bucks marked down from 15 bucks. No alcohol tonight. Mountain Dew Cherry Code Red.
