So you’ll be doing my drinking for me? I very seldom drink carbonated beverages any more, but when I do it’s Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Ginger Ale, Root Beer, or Cream Soda. It’s been a while since I’ve had Coke or Diet Coke (Or Pepsi, either.) ---

I’m a die-hard Coke Zero fan. I might have to switch to HEB brand, dammit. ---

The Melon Felon is going to have a church service called “One America, One Light” hosted somewhere on January 19. That’s bad enough for such a divisive campaign. So it should come as no surprise that this hypocrite is charging $100,000 a ticket. > **[Praying with Trump at pre-inaugural 'One America, One Light' event costs a lot...](https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/contributors/2025/01/16/trump-inauguration-prayer-event-wwjd/77724520007/)** > > President-elect Donald Trump's “One America, One Light” prayer service invites attendees to bow their heads at an exorbitant price. ---

If money is the root of all evil, he’s doing all the sinners a favor by removing it from their sinful hands! ---

“radix malorum est **cupiditas** ” - just “desire” is the root of evil, echoed in Eastern philosophy with the Wheel of Suffering and Desire. Of course, George Bernard Shaw claimed the the _lack_ of money is the root of all evil ---

I bought Pepsi instead of Coke today. I don’t know if it’s really practical to give up Coke entirely, but I can at least reduce it from time to time. I made my point, they won’t notice the $5 they didn’t get, but at least I did a tiny thing and I guess doing a tiny thing is what I have to do for four more years (ugh, i can’t believe we’re doing this again) ---

A friend of mine who had always been a die-hard Coke drinker now drinks Big K from Kroger and swears that she can’t tell the difference. ---

If prople like Cherry Coke, the Safeway brand of cherry cola (Signature Select) is awesome. It’s more cherry forward than Cherry Coke and they have a very good zero sugar version (which is what I get). And of course it’s cheaper. I recently introduced my wife to it because I’ve been drinking it for years and she had never tried it because she generally doesn’t care for generic soda brands, and she thought it was better than Cherry Coke too (or Pepsi for that matter). ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > I believe they just came out with a special product to mark his inauguration. I’m looking at that picture of Trump smiling and it looks wrong somehow. I can see, though, that his eyes are wrinkled, showing he’s actually smiling. Then it hit me - it looks weird because he never actually smiles, always his fake smile. It looks extra creepy on him. ---

A real leader has a tie that reaches down to his knees, as every MAGAt knows. (Never mind that sartorial decorum demands that the point of your tie reach the top of your belt buckle; when you’re a Mango Cheeto Generalissimo-in-Chief, you make the rules; and so, your tie must be extra-long.) ---
