    How DARE we gather as families for the holidays! How DARE we! But burnin' down the city? Just call me Captain Tim Tailgate, I'll roast some hot dogs and you all break in a store for the drinks...

    On Gov. Tim Walz, Covid lockdown fanatic

    How badly did Walz panic in fall 2020? He essentially destroyed Thanksgiving. On Nov. 19, 2020, one week before the holiday, Walz barred “indoor or outdoor [emphasis added] gatherings, except with immediate household members” and added “no person from outside your immediate household should enter your home.” He also closed bars, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, organized sports, and pools.

    Of course, months earlier, when protests and riots over the death of George Floyd had rocked Minneapolis in May and June 2020, Walz had taken a different view. “We certainly believe that there’s a right that people have to gather,” he told reporters.

    Okee gets off starting as many new threads as he can.
    Complain, antagonize, demean. Rinse and repeat.

    Minnesota had the 4th lowest death rate of all states. Amazing job he did of protecting the citizens as they worked together to make it through those rough times. After 2 terms as VP he'll make a great president in 2032.

    The OP may be one of those folks who think the pandemic was a worldwide medical/scientific community hoax.

    “Roasting” a hot dog!

    Yes!

    Admittedly I am a little off the grid with societal norms.

    But this is progress. Stay with me.

    Muffler-smoked ham.

    If you don't have roasted hot dogs and boiled goose at your Thanksgiving you ain't living.

    Thread premise is laughable, but the ensuing word humor is comedy gold. :D
