Are you suggesting that I am posting falsehoods? Why would I pick a Buell if I was making things up? If you know anything about motorcycles you would know that cycle aficionados refer to it as having a tractor engine due to its lack of high revving ability. Wouldn’t I claim to have a turbo Busa with a stretched swing arm if I was making things up? ---

You lie about everything else, so why not? It would make sense that this is also part of your troll persona. Don’t like people assuming you’re a liar? Don’t troll. ---

> [@MrMrmrmr](#): > > What have I lied about?. Are you saying your OP was made in good faith? You were clearly being sarcastic in implying that Biden was putting kids in cages because he was going to reopen an overflow facility. You lied specifically in saying that Biden had “acceptable housing built in such a short time” when he was reopening a facility that already existed. In fact, there is nothing to indicate that the Carrizo Springs facility being reopened by Biden has the kind of chain link enclosures that were referred to as “cages,”, or that the Biden administration plans to use such enclosures to house children. You just made that up in order to troll. Your OP was entirely dishonest. ---

> [@MrMrmrmr](#): > > I direct your attention to photo number 6. Look, moron, that’s a file photo taken on June 17, 2018, in McAllen, Texas, during the Trump administration. Biden is reopening a facility in Carrizo Springs, which is nowhere near McAllen. Like I said, there is no evidence that this facility has chain link enclosures, or that such enclosures will be used to house any of the detained children. You made up that part in order to troll. ---

Next time your motor is running and you’re heading out on the highway, you’ll find adventure if you take a left at OANN and keep going a few hundred miles, where you’ll reach main street and the city center. Folks there are pretty honest and aren’t just trying to get you pissed off at everyone and everything, so perhaps contentment will come your way. ---

All the more reason for you to drop the ridiculous and misleading RW news sources that are getting you all riled up. You should switch to reasonable mainstream sources – NYT, NPR, BBC, and maybe you’ll learn something. ---

Agreed. Now I have research who profits from the pipeline shutdown. I will not comment until I investigate. ---

Jokes and mockery aside, butternut squash is tastier than acorn squash. And here’s what I’ve been stuffing it with lately, and it’s freakin delicious: -Cook half a cup quinoa in a cup of water for ~15 minutes, until dry and fluffy. -Meanwhile, mince an onion and fry it up until slightly caramelized. If you want, you can crumble some breakfast sausage & fry that first, then fry the onion in the grease. Salt to taste. -Add garlic and toasted chopped walnuts and dried cranberries. -Add some combination of those sausage crumbles, finely diced apples, feta crumbles, grated parmesan, sauteed mushrooms–whatever sounds like it’d be tasty that night. It’s really flexible, with the quinoa/onion/walnut base. -Combine with the quinoa, and fill the butternut squash halves that you’ve already mostly cooked. Finish in the oven, and enjoy! I’m not normally a huge quinoa fan, but it’s so good this way. ---
